Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat

In just a moment, the scarlet color in Lisa's eyes quickly faded away and turned back into her original green pupils. Wood and Virag did not notice this.

"Yawn..."

"Huh... Miss Lisa, you scared us to death..." Virag breathed a sigh of relief, "If you want to sleep, you should go home first. It's already very late outside."

"Hmm... is it late?" Lisa said in a daze, "Well, I didn't expect to fall asleep here..."

"At first we thought you might be busy with something important, so we didn't come to disturb you." Wood said slowly, "But it's been so long since you got off work, and you still didn't move. We knocked on the door several times but you didn't hear us, so we came in directly.

To be honest, when we saw you lying motionless on the table just now, we thought..."

"Haha, I don't blame you. After all, it was my fault this time." Lisa was a little more sober at this time. She smiled softly at the two of them and said, "I'm sorry to have delayed your get off work. I will be leaving soon."

After that, Lisa began to sort out the materials on the side, preparing to take them home to continue processing. After all, today, she spent a lot of time cooperating with Menma to conduct experiments, so she didn't have time to do these tasks.

"Oh, right." Lisa suddenly said, and then took the three books on the table and handed them to the two of them, "Can you help me put these three books back on the bookshelf?"

"Oh, no problem." x2

Willage took the two fairy tale books, "The Boar Princess" and "The White Princess and the Six Dwarfs", which were closer to him on the bookshelf, while Wood took the biography "The Legend of Vanessa", which was farther away on the bookshelf.

By the time the two of them put the books in their corresponding places on the bookshelf and returned to the registration desk, Lisa had already left with her things.

"Then... let's go too." Wood looked at Virag and said.

"Well, there's nothing else to do after all." Virag nodded.

So the two of them walked out of the library, and then the door was locked by Virag with a key. Since Qin had already gone home from get off work, the door of the head of the office was also locked, so they didn't need to worry about it.

After checking all the doors and finding no problems, Willag and Wood planned to go off work.

But just as they were about to walk out of the headquarters gate, the gate was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Then, under the confused gazes of the two men, the Favonius Knight Aram rushed in panting:

"Someone come and help! The Skyharp in the West Wind Cathedral has been stolen!"

"What?!" x2

……

……

……

"Run!"

Looking at the group of Favonius Knights led by Ultra who were chasing him and Sora closely, Paimon quickly called out to Sora to run in the direction where Venti jumped.

Of course, Paimon didn't need to say this.

Although he was full of anger, after all, he had finally passed through layers of obstacles and was about to get the Sky Harp, but it was snatched away by a mysterious person who suddenly appeared at the last moment. But now Kong could only suppress it temporarily and choose to turn around and run away quickly. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

After catching up with Wendy, the three of them ran towards the neighborhood which was already empty because it was getting late.

"Running all the time is not a solution. We'd better find a place to hide." Kong said to Wendy beside him while running.

"Eh? This place... seems to be near [Wind Embrace]." At this time, Paimon suddenly recognized their current location. It was the fork in the road where he and Hashirama parted in the morning. "Why don't we go hide there?"

"Okay..." Wendy was about to agree, but suddenly the Knight of Favonius who had received the news in that direction rushed over, immediately cutting off the feasibility of this route.

"It's over, it's over, there are people over there..." Seeing this, Paimon suddenly felt a little desperate.

"It's okay, I know another place." At this time, Wendy's calm words made the two see hope again, "Come with me."

So, the three of them immediately turned around and ran towards the direction of [Angel's Gift] under the leadership of Wendy.

At this time, in the tavern——

[It looks like this is how the accounts will look this week...] Diluk, who was calculating the tavern's accounts, thought to himself and couldn't help but sigh, [This storm has really had a huge impact on business. Well, I hope this period of time will pass quickly.]

Since Charles was away, Diluc had to summarize and calculate the accounts by himself. Fortunately, as the owner of the Dawn Winery, he had no problem with this aspect, and there were no customers to disturb him, so Diluc was able to calculate the accounts clearly by himself.

But just as he put away the accounts, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Then, Wendy rushed in with Sora and Paimon.

"Boss, we... want a place that's a little more secluded."

Wendy said awkwardly. After all, he used to drink here on credit, and Master Diluk was famous for being serious. He was often forced by him to stay and sing for free or work part-time to pay off his debts, so he was not sure whether Diluk would agree to his request.

Diluk looked at the few people with a scrutinizing gaze. After all, they suddenly broke into his tavern at this time and asked for a hidden environment. It was suspicious no matter how he thought about it.

However, he finally relented: "If you want to talk about seclusion, there are fewer people on the second floor."

But just as Wendy was about to thank him, he suddenly said in a slightly joking tone: "But aren't you a bard? Why don't you choose a lively spot?"

"Ahaha, we'll have to wait until next time for paid performances." Wendy smiled bitterly and quickly pushed Sora upstairs while answering, "We'll go upstairs first, see you later~!"

Watching the hurried backs of several people and listening to the noisy footsteps coming from far away outside the tavern, Diluk sneered: "It seems that the "security guards" of Mondstadt will soon give me the answer to what happened. 】

Soon, several knights led by Otto and Miles walked into the tavern. After seeing Diluc standing behind the counter, Miles asked hurriedly: "Ah, Master Diluc, have you seen those two thieves?"

"What happened? Why are so many people mobilized?" Seeing so many Knights of Favonius, Diluk frowned immediately.

"Hasn't Master Diluk heard about this?" Miles was a little surprised. "Two thieves actually set their sights on the Harp of the Sky!"

"Oh? That's strange."

"Right. The Sky Harp is a treasure that the old Wind God himself played. Such a precious cultural asset—"

Miles hadn't finished speaking when he was suddenly interrupted by Diluk, who also hadn't finished the second half of his sentence:

"Someone would be stupid enough to steal something that can't be sold. It would be more cost-effective to steal from my wine cellar."

"..."

Hearing this, Miles, Otto and the others were stunned. Although they all knew that Diluk and the Knights were at odds, they didn't want to slander the Wind God's treasure like this, right?

"Ah, sorry for getting off topic." Although Diluk had his own opinion on this, which was not necessarily slander, he did not intend to explain to these Knights of Favonius, "Those two people, one yellow and one green, seem to have gone over there."

As he spoke, Diluk pointed in a random direction, as if Sora, Venti and the others were really leaving in that direction.

“Okay, okay.” Everyone nodded quickly, “Thank you, Master Diluk!”

After that, everyone believed it and chased after him, until he disappeared in that direction.

On the second floor, the three of them heard the noises downstairs becoming smaller and smaller until they disappeared, and they knew that they were temporarily safe. After confirming that all the Knights of Favonius had left, they slowly walked downstairs, ready to face Diluk's questioning.

……

……

……

(Outside Mondstadt, in a deserted place)

[Hehe, it will be fine after we send this thing there. ]

Holding the Sky Harp in her arms, with a smile on her face and even a brisk pace, the Lightning Warlock was marching in a certain direction. That was exactly where the Lady had told her to send the Sky Harp.

As the real thief who stole the Sky Harp, she had already sneaked out of Mondstadt through her own channels long after the attention of the Knights of Favonius was all attracted by Sora, Paimon and Wendy, and was ready to deliver the Sky Harp to the designated location.

[Seeing their expressions like that, hehe, this mission... is really relaxing and fun.]

Recalling how he had taken away the Sky Harp, which the two fools had overcome numerous obstacles to get, effortlessly by hiding at the beginning, and how he had teased them before leaving, the Lightning Firefly Warlock could not help laughing out loud.

After all, the feeling of "stealing the fruits of victory from others", watching their stunned, unwilling or angry expressions, and finally teasing the "losers" as you please, is really too pleasurable...

The Firefly Warlock walked happily while recalling the times when he took pleasure in the suffering of others.

But soon, she suddenly couldn't walk or laugh anymore, because... a strange purple barrier appeared around her and restricted her movements.

"Eh?!"

At the same time, a gloomy and terrifying voice suddenly appeared behind him:

"Can you give me back the Sky Harp?"

Then, the Sky Harp in his arms was taken away by the other party without any pressure. The "hand" that took away the Sky Harp used some unknown method to "disappear" the Sky Harp with a strange vortex, and then raised it up and covered his mouth tightly.

"Uh huh huh..."

The Lightning Warlock tried desperately to struggle, but the strange barrier was too strong. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move her body even a little. The hand was also very strong. Her mouth was covered so she could only make these unclear sounds. It was impossible for her to shout loudly.

She tried to use the evil eye to mobilize the lightning element in her body, but found that even this became extremely difficult. The elemental force in her body was like water mixed with thick batter, and even the flow became sluggish and blocked, not to mention flexibly mobilizing it.

This was normal. After all, in the confinement barrier created by the Black Nine-Tails Chakra by the Sage of the North Star, she and the elemental power in her body were all suppressed tightly, and there was no possibility of escape at all.

At this moment, the dull and terrifying voice suddenly came from behind her again, and the source of the voice was obviously the owner of the hand covering her mouth:

"Is everything in the West Wind Cathedral fun?"

Hearing the voice that sounded like the devil's whisper, the Thunder Firefly Warlock couldn't help but tremble with fear all over. However, due to the barrier, she was unable to do so, causing her muscles to ache all over.

"Since you chose to do this, you will have to pay the price for it." However, the "devil" had no intention of letting her go. "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself and everyone behind you for offending the wrong people..."

"Well!"

The Thunder Firefly Mage was suddenly terrified and couldn't help but scream out in pain, because a long knife had pierced through her chest from behind, and the tip of the knife also stabbed out from her front chest.

Looking at the bloody knife tip sticking out of her chest and feeling the piercing pain, the Lightning Warlock knew she was not far from death. At this moment, the hand covering her mouth suddenly loosened, and she immediately wanted to shout for help. However, as soon as the words came to her lips, what she actually spit out was just a pool of blood foam.

The last bit of hope was shattered in an instant. The Lightning Warlock turned her head with difficulty, trying to see the person behind her clearly in the remaining moment. But in the end, all she saw was just a strange mask.

The last thing she heard before her consciousness completely fell into darkness was this person saying "farewell":

"It's already night, just disappear quietly."

The moonlight gradually hid behind the drifting clouds, as if it did not want to witness the murderous intent in the dark night. And because of this, everything on the ground was completely integrated into the darkness...

……

……

……

(Mondstadt Residential Area)

Lisa, who had already returned home, was unaware of what was happening outside. Because she didn't like being disturbed, all the windows and curtains in her home were always closed, especially at night when it should be quiet.

And this is why she didn't notice the Knights of Favonius running around outside.

Lisa had already changed her clothes and was wearing only a set of home clothes. She was going to take a shower and get ready for bed. After all, she was in her own home and there was no one else around, so she didn't need to dress so formally.

In the bathroom, after taking off all her clothes, Lisa walked in front of the mirror.

The smooth and tender skin, the graceful figure, and the voluptuous breasts that would make countless women envious and jealous to the point of crawling with dark twists and turns, were all clearly displayed in the eyes of its owner in the mirror.

However, Lisa, who had long been accustomed to this, naturally did not look at these things when she came to look in the mirror. Her eyes always stayed on the extra black mark on her abdomen.

With the navel as the center, a circle of vortex-shaped ripples gradually spread outward, and outside the ripples there was a circle of strange patterns that seemed to be drawn with runes and looked like a stick figure drawing of the sun.

[Haha, Mr. Menma, I think this gift you gave me is pretty good.] Touching the mark on her abdomen, Lisa couldn't help but smile. Her smile was very relaxed and happy.

She could feel the vitality and vigor of the energy contained in this mark. Although she could also feel the danger it contained, she would not have any problems with this seal.

And according to Menma, if he completely adapted to this power, then even if the seal disappeared, there wouldn't be any problems, instead it would allow him to better master it.

Just a little bit of leaked energy was enough to make her body, which had already adapted to this energy with the help of Menma, feel comfortable and moisturized. So Lisa could already begin to imagine what she would be like when she adapted to this power sooner or later.

Although the curse on my fate has not been eradicated yet, with this, I don't have to worry about the harm caused by the curse anymore.

Thinking of this, Lisa's expression relaxed again:

[It seems that I have won this battle with fate~] Lisa slowly opened her eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed across her scarlet fox pupils——

[Thank you, Mr. Menma...]
