Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat

"Damn it... this actually happened..."

After Prisson left, the other Fatui remained at the base, pacing and muttering in annoyance.

"That's enough, you all should show some of your Fatui soldiers' manners!" At this time, a debt collector standing in the middle of the field suddenly shouted. His majestic temperament revealed his identity, the leader of this group of Fatui, the "Captain Zamenhof" mentioned by the previous person.

"Why are you all sighing and groaning? There is no evidence that the Sky Harp is really lost, but you are just making up your mind?" Zamenhof continued to scold, "Let's take a step back. Even if the Sky Harp is really lost, what we should do now is to try every possible way to get it back, instead of just sitting there and talking uselessly like you guys!"

"But... Captain, the executive officer said that we still need to stay here..." At this time, someone raised a difficult point.

"We are here to hide the Sky Harp. Now that we haven't got the Sky Harp yet, what's the point of us staying here? What's more, there are so many of us here, can't we do two things at the same time? Use your brain!"

"Ah... uh... I see..." The man was scolded so much that he began to stutter, but he had to admit that what Captain Zamenhof said made sense.

"Team One, you and Team Three will continue to guard here. No one except our people can be allowed in. Meanwhile, wait for news from Prisson." Zamenhof began to "deploy troops." "Team Two and Team Four, follow me and go outside to track down the whereabouts of the Sky Harp!"

"Yes!!!"xN

……

……

……

"They have a large group of people going out."

Looking at the group of Fatui pouring out of the cave in front, Hashirama, who was hiding in the bushes, pointed in that direction and said to Menma beside him.

"The leader is a debt collector? It seems that guy should be the captain named Zamenhof."

Menma dropped the body of Prisson, who had been killed by him a long time ago, and said indifferently, then stretched out his hand to make a seal and performed the transformation technique: "It's time, Hashirama, you come too."

"Oh." Hashirama nodded, and then he and Menma performed the transformation technique together.

Soon, when the smoke produced by the transformation technique dissipated, the appearance of the two people had already changed greatly compared to before.

"I'll go take care of the group that just left." Menma pulled out the ninja sword that was hanging on his body, which was shining coldly in the night. Even the mask on his face changed drastically and said in a voice that was much lower than before, "Those who are still in the cave will be left to you."

"No problem, leave it to me." Although his voice was still relatively steady, at least it was no longer heavy, Hashirama nodded. His current expression, coupled with the two tear grooves on his face, could give people a full sense of solemnity.

Afterwards, the two of them left quickly, leaving behind only the body of a Rock Envoy guerrilla soldier lying there alone, as if to foreshadow two extremely similar tragedies that would take place in two different places soon...

……

"What on earth was the epic poem just now..."

In [Angel's Gift], after listening to the "story" told by Venti through the piano and poetry, Diluk lowered his head and was silent for a long time before finally looking at him again.

"This is an important secret." Although Diluk remained calm on the surface, a huge wave of emotion had already risen in his heart. "Why did you let me know this?"

"Why?" Wendy tilted his head slightly, and once again used his mysterious and silly tone, "Well, maybe it's because the direction of the wind is changing.

——How is it, Master Diluk?"

"interesting."

Diluk nodded in approval of Venti's words: "Give me some time, I can find a way to make some connections."

At this point, Diluk turned to look at Sora and said, "Stranger, it seems that you are not suspected because of your identity in the Knights. The only feature listed on the wanted poster is blonde hair, so the guards should not look for you."

Sora nodded, because even though he was discovered, he still didn't let any of the pursuing Knights of Favonius see his face or features that could prove his identity. As for the blond hair... Aren't there enough people with blond hair in Mondstadt alone?

"But Bard, you'd better not leave the tavern." Then Diluk reminded Wendy again.

"No problem!" Wendy immediately became happy when she heard this, "I like pubs."

“…” Diluk was speechless for a while, and couldn’t help but start to doubt whether his decision was correct.

But soon, he stopped thinking about it. After all, Wendy's meaning was that he would definitely stay here obediently. As for whether he would steal some wine while he was away... he actually didn't need the money for a few bottles of wine.

Or think of it another way. If you find that the wine is really missing after you come back, why not just ask him to compensate you?

"Then we'll meet here when I get back."

Diluk used the excuse that he had to leave work early today, and offered a free meal as compensation and temptation to all the drinkers who were still in the tavern, leaving only Venti. Afterwards, Diluk, Sora, and Paimon split into two groups and left the tavern one after another, busying themselves with their own affairs and preparing for the next step.

After the others left, Wendy drooled as he looked at the bottles of wine on display in the wine cabinet. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the wine and took out the bottle of iced dandelion wine that he had tried to steal but failed to steal due to Diluk's scolding. He pulled out the cork and blew directly into the bottle.

"Ton, ton, ton... Gulp... Aaah, so refreshing..." After finishing half of the bottle in one breath, Wendy couldn't help but shout out in pleasure, and then continued to drink from the bottle with her head tilted back.

As for the wine money? Haha, at worst I can just sing here for a while when I have time.

As a god who loves alcohol and does not work seriously, Wendy is always thick-skinned enough in this regard.

……

……

……

"It seems that this is the place that Prisson found before..." Seeing the bloodstain on the grass that belonged to the wizard who sent Qin Leiying, Zamenhof immediately ordered, "Fourth team, search the area carefully to see if there are any clues. Second team, stay alert."

"Yes!"xN

The two teams immediately started to act with a clear division of labor. One team searched nearby, while the other team stayed fully armed and on standby to deal with any emergencies that might arise.

After all, none of them knew whether the murderer who kidnapped or killed the person who delivered the piano was still nearby.

[Oh, you have some leadership skills.] At this moment, Menma, who was hiding in a tree and observing this group of people, was watching this scene with interest. He was not afraid of being discovered, because if he was really discovered by this group of little Karami, then he would not have to continue to be a ninja.

[However, no matter how strong your leadership ability is, in front of me, you are nothing but a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps...

Illusion: Darkness Walking Technique! 】

Menma on the tree raised his hand and made a seal. Then, all the Fatui below, including Zamenhof, felt that the sky seemed to be getting dark rapidly. Although it was already late at night, it was not so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you...

"what happened……"

"Why is it so dark?"

"I can't see anything!"

"Ouch! Who hit me?"

Similar words suddenly came one after another, constantly appearing around everyone. But even so, the situation did not improve at all. Everyone was just in pure darkness. Even the things right in front of them, they could not see them at all. If they wanted to get information, they could only rely on hearing or touch.

[This darkness... There is definitely something wrong!] It was the captain, Zamenhof, who calmed down first and began to think about this problem. "No matter how dark the sky is, it can't suddenly become this dark..."

"You got it right. Here's your reward..."

"Who?!"

A deep voice suddenly sounded in Zamenhof's ears, and he was so frightened that he quickly dodged to the side several times and raised his hunting knife, ready for battle.

Since he couldn't see anything, he could only judge the other party's position by sound. But when a series of metal friction and collision sounds sounded around him, Zamenhof felt as if he was tied up by something.

"Is this... a chain?!" Feeling the texture of the thing that bound him, Zamenhof's face turned pale. If it was just a rope, he could instantly burst out the fire element to burn it, but he couldn't do anything about the metal chain. The temperature that he could reach with a burst of fire element was not enough to burn the metal chain.

Moreover, he could clearly hear that the other party had not made any footsteps the entire time. Based on this alone, the other party must not be a simple character.

At this time, Menma's strange figure had appeared in front of Zamenhof. The mask that only revealed his right eye flashed a scarlet light from the hole.

"Who is it?" Zamenhof shouted. Since no one could see and the other party did not make any sound, he could only use this method to alert his men.

However, although many people were startled by Zamenhof's shout and raised their weapons, the deprivation of vision was still a problem. Even if they wanted to aim, they didn't know where to aim, and if they wanted to help the captain, they didn't know which direction they were heading at the moment.

At this moment, Menma had already raised the ninja sword in his hand and slashed it towards Zamenhof fiercely.

As if sensing the impending danger, Zamenhof began to struggle violently, trying to get rid of the chains on his body. But Menma's chains were not ordinary things, even if Zamenhof had twice the strength, he would not be able to break free from them, let alone him now.

Therefore, he had no ability to resist or escape, and could only face Menma's sharp blade in the pure darkness without knowing why:

[The first one is decided to be you.] Menma thought to himself, [Use your life to kick off the eternal night that I will weave for you tonight...]

"bass!"

……

……

……

(At the same time, on the other side)

"Why is the cave entrance blocked?"

"Little Tree? What's going on?"

"How come... so many trees suddenly grew up... where did all these trees come from?!"

At this moment, the ground beneath the feet of several Fatui suddenly exploded, and then Hashirama, who had changed his appearance, jumped out and stood on the ground. Several Fatui who were blown away were smashed hard on the ground or the wall of the cave, and some of them died on the spot with their brains spurted out.

"Who?!"

All the Fatui in the base were startled and quickly picked up their weapons and pointed them at Hashirama. However, Hashirama did not react at all, but sighed:

[Alas... I really can't play this role well. The fact that I don't have the Sharingan is secondary. The main reason is that the temperament of this role doesn't match my own...]

So, under the confused gaze of a group of fools, the man who suddenly broke in quickly changed his appearance in a puff of smoke, becoming an image that had absolutely no resemblance to the previous one.

"This..." The Fatui, who had never seen such an ability, were stunned by Hashirama's move. But what Hashirama did was just to change back to his original appearance.

[This is still the way that suits me... Never mind, I'll just deal with this group of people in my own way. ]

After thinking about this, Hashirama temporarily put aside all distracting thoughts, and walked towards the group of fools step by step with the ninja sword in his hand.
