Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat

"Who?!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

"do not come!!!"

The screams of the Fatui echoed across the plain shrouded in darkness. Many people, despite their vigilance, were still tied up by chains and strangled to death or stabbed through the heart. Some even skipped the chain altogether and were killed instantly by a sudden knife attack while the people around them were panicking and they had no warning.

Although they could not see anything around them, they could still hear what was happening. Also, because their vision was completely taken away and they had no other way to find the enemy, the Fatui who were still able to resist began to attack the surroundings indiscriminately, trying to use this method to drive back or find the attackers.

Since the distance between them was not very far, it was not difficult to imagine how many of their own people would be accidentally injured as a result of this action.

The bullet of the fire gun guerrilla broke the arm of the ordinary soldier; the thunder hammer vanguard swept away a rock guerrilla while swinging his hammer; the ordinary soldier rushed all the way and hit a wind fist vanguard hard, the other was fine but he was hit on the head and bleeding; the ice gun heavy guard randomly sprayed ice mist around, and ended up freezing a group of his own people shivering...

[Heh... Has this already caused you to lose your composure? ]

Standing next to several corpses, Menma, who was fearless after activating his Hollow transformation, looked at the group of fools whose defenses were broken by fear with a mocking look on his face. Even if some attacks really flew towards him, it would be completely useless to him.

The ability to hollow out the Kamui was something he had just figured out two days ago. After all, this Mangekyō Sharingan did not originally belong to him, and some of its functions still needed to be explored carefully before he could use them.

He has been studying the "Hollowness" ability of the Kamui Mangekyo for a long time. It can even be said that he started studying it when he first came to Teyvat and learned that his right eye was Uchiha Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan. He has been studying it until now to figure it out. Fortunately, as long as he succeeds in the end, all his efforts will not be in vain.

[It seems that I really overestimated you before. Among you, the only one who is worthy of my attention is Zamenhof. However...]

Looking at Zamenhof, whose body had already been cut into two pieces by his sword, Menma shook his head.

Then, he picked up the ninja sword and started killing again:

"In a way, I can say that I'm helping you get rid of it." Menma said after he released his hollow form, rushed forward and killed an ordinary soldier with one blow.

“Farewell to this cursed Teyvat.”

Because his position was exposed by the sound of his voice, the few Fatui closest to him immediately turned around after hearing the sound and began to concentrate their fire on his position.

"Innocent."

He was too lazy to even use the teleportation technique. He activated the virtual transformation technique again and just stood there defenseless, allowing those attacks to pass through his body without causing any harm to him.

[I have to say, the ability to blur is really useful. 】

After everyone's attacks were over, Menmajong stuck his ninja sword into the ground and then suddenly pulled it out, slashing out a large circular blood-red chakra sword wind, which swept towards the Fatui in front of him.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Following a shrill scream, several Fatui who were close to the scene were immediately caught up in the sword wind and turned into a pile of bloody fragments that were too big to look at.

This was not the end. After killing them, Menma immediately targeted several other Fatui. His figure turned into thousands of sword lights, attacking the group of guys. Facing the invisible blood-red sword lights, they could only stand there and wait for death. In the end, they ended up with the same fate as the previous few people.

"Help...help!"

At this moment, feeling the increasingly strong smell of blood around him and hearing more and more screams of his companions before they died, one of the Fatui finally couldn't hold on any longer and his inner defenses collapsed, and he fled quickly in the opposite direction, crawling away.

But before he could run two steps away, a space vortex suddenly appeared above him. Then, Menma fell from it and stepped on him before he could react.

"Let me go!" He knew he was about to die, but he still kept shouting, "No... don't..."

"Do you think... you can escape?" Menma slowly raised the bloody ninja sword in his hand. It looked extremely terrifying under the double background of the moonlit night and the blood. "Even if you hide in hell... oh no, in the earth veins, I can also... pull you back."

"No...no...don't!!!"

Unfortunately, no matter how much this guy shouted, he couldn't stop Menma from slashing the ninja sword at him.

"Death..."

"Ugh!!!"

……

……

……

(On the other side, [Angel's Gift])

After preparing and waiting outside for a while, Sora and Paimon returned after midnight, which was the time when the tavern was supposed to close.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Wendy lying on the ground holding a bunch of empty bottles and grinning foolishly, Diluk standing next to her with a gloomy face, and... someone they had never expected.

"You're here..." As if she didn't notice Diluk's murderous look, Venti turned to look at Sora and Paimon at the door and greeted them drunkenly.

At this time, the unexpected person also said to Sora: "Huh? Aren't you... a traveler?"

Although that person was confused, Kong was even more confused than her: "You...you are not...Captain Qin?"

That's right, this person is none other than Jean, the acting leader of the Knights. Although Sora and Paimon also guessed who Diluk would go to find as a helper, and even considered Menma and Hashirama, after all, someone like Diluk is likely to know those two big guys.

But they were wrong, and very wrong.

But they couldn't be blamed for this, after all, Diluk showed undisguised sarcasm and disgust towards the Knights Templar, so they could never have imagined that the person Diluk was going to find would be a member of the Knights Templar, and even Captain Jean, their current superior.

"First of all, I contacted more than one person." At this time, Diluk spoke up, "Secondly, this person is just "Jean", not the "leader". This is someone you, as an honorary knight, cannot possibly contact."

Qin also spoke up, "What a surprise. Although I heard about the Sky Qin, I didn't expect it to be you...

So, is it true that the purification of the piano sound can restore the Wind Demon Dragon to normal? "

"That's right!" At this time, Wendy got up from the ground. Now that he was talking about business, the drunkenness on his face disappeared instantly. "Now Kong Zheng is actively participating in the front line to solve the Wind Dragon incident. He really deserves the title of the Knights' Supernova Boy."

Paimon was a little embarrassed: "Although it feels like it has crossed the edge of breaking the law..."

"Hmph." Diluk snorted coldly, not knowing whether he was referring to the incident itself or to the fact that Wendy had lightly brushed aside the fact that he had secretly drunk so much alcohol. "It's normal that I can't believe this absurd explanation involving mythology."

He thought Wendy would steal his wine, but he didn't expect Wendy to be so careless and drink so many expensive wines in a row. Although this was not a big deal for him, it was not his style to let others take advantage of him.

Wendy made up her mind that once she finished her work, she would not leave her tavern for a long time until she paid off her alcohol bill by working part-time.

"But it doesn't matter." Based on this, he would not miss any opportunity to trick Wendy. "We can let the poet perform that kind of ballad again to convince..."

"I believe you."

"To convince the stubborn leader... huh?"

Diluk had not expected Qin's reaction at all, and even a hint of surprise appeared on his cat-like face, which had been drooping all the time.

"I never could imagine why Tevarin, the East Wind Dragon of the Four Winds, would betray me." Jyn expressed her thoughts, "But if he was harmed by poisonous blood during the war to protect Mondstadt many years ago...

After waking up, he was corrupted by the Abyss Mage again, and he would indeed become helpless...

Although Mr. Uzumaki said last time that the Wind Demon Dragon has the power of the Abyss, and speculated that the Abyss Cult is behind the Wind Demon Dragon, I still have some doubts about this. However, after hearing this today, I completely believe it. "

"——But these words must not be spoken by the Acting Captain." After saying this, Jean's tone suddenly became lonely again, "Under the diplomatic pressure of the Fatui, it is difficult for the Knights to publicly express their goodwill towards the Wind Dragon. That would be understood as connivance and inaction, so I can only act privately."

"Humph." Hearing this, Diluk snorted again, "This is also one of the reasons why I don't like the Knights.

But I didn’t expect that you would trust a stranger of unknown origin just like that…”

“As a strict and cautious person like you, wouldn’t you be willing to trust them?” Jean looked into Diluk’s eyes and said sincerely, “Whether it’s the Traveler, or Mr. Uzumaki and Mr. Senju.”

After officially meeting Mima and Hashirama and reaching a friendly cooperation with them, an idea took root in Qin's heart, which was to reform some of the Knights Temperance's practices so that the Knights Temperance would no longer be so weak.

Lisa's "wind and rain" statement was still firmly in her mind, and she continued to irrigate and accelerate her idea. If everything went as she wished, the Knights should be able to gain more recognition from the people of Mondstadt, and from Mr. Uzumaki and Mr. Senju.

[And... let Diluk-senpai... accept me even more. ]

Jean didn't know why she wanted Diluk's approval so much, and it even seemed that it was more important to her than the approval of Mr. Uzumaki and Mr. Senju. But no matter what the reason was, she would choose to follow her heart and spare no effort to do this.

……

Meeting Qin's extremely pure and sincere gaze, Diluk was suddenly stunned.

Qin's "senior" suddenly brought back many memories for him. Although these memories had been shattered after that incident, and he regarded them as his absurd and useless past...

But it is undeniable that these are indeed a warm and rare memory for Diluk, who was still very sunny and cheerful, and proud of the titles of "Knight of Dawn" and "the youngest cavalry captain of the Knights Templar".

At that time, I and Qin, who was still just an apprentice knight, had a good impression of each other. I also enjoyed hearing her call me "senior".

After so many years, she became the acting leader of the Knights, and became the leader of the Knights when the Grand Master Falgar was away. She withdrew from the Knights and continued to protect Mondstadt in a completely different way from them. Although they were no longer the same in this regard, the memory would never be erased.

Moreover, he himself didn't know why, but the words that his father had been nagging at him every day recently suddenly appeared in his mind "inappropriately"...

“I’ve always said not to call me senior…” Diluk quickly turned his head away, not daring to continue looking into Jean’s eyes. “Well, let’s cooperate for once.”

Among the people present, only Venti noticed the barely perceptible blush on Diluk's face when he turned his head. He immediately understood a lot from it and smiled without saying anything.

Although he was still asleep at the time and didn't know the details of their past, as a god who had lived for thousands of years, what kind of things had he not seen? With just one glance, he understood what the relationship between the two was.

"senior?"

Among the people present, only Sora and Paimon knew nothing, so naturally they could not see so many things. Therefore, when Sora accidentally heard a key word and asked it, both Diluk and Jean were silent.

"..." x2

"It seems that there are some past events that I shouldn't ask about..." Seeing this, Paimon felt that he understood a little, but not much.

"Anyway, I already have a rough idea of ​​the true whereabouts of Sky Harp." Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, Harp quickly talked about business, forcibly diverting everyone's attention away from the word "senior".

[Beautiful! I didn’t realize she had a talent for changing the subject…] Wendy thought to herself.

"The conflict between Mondstadt and the Kingdom of Winter is essentially a conflict between the Seven Kingdoms and the Seven Gods." Jyn continued to say to everyone, "The Fatui, led by the God of Ice, are coveting the power left by the God of Wind..."

"..." Hearing this, Wendy's expression became a little serious. Although he knew a lot of in-depth things about this, it was a pity that there was nothing he could say clearly now.

"So, they proposed to take over the city defense?" Sora asked. That night, when Jean was confronting the Fatui's counselor Anastasia, he and Paimon heard some of the conversation between the two, including the so-called "taking over the city defense".

"That's right." Qin nodded. "If the attempt to openly kill the Wind Dragon is stopped by the Knights, then... the Sky Qin will be the only power of the Wind God they can obtain."

"We have as many Fatui members as we want in Mondstadt," Diluk continued. "I've already managed to get some information out of them..."

"Diluc got the information that the Fatui didn't keep the Skyharp in the Goethe Hotel. Even they wouldn't want to be too arrogant and hide the stolen holy relic in a semi-public place."

"I understand, I understand." Paimon said with a serious expression, "If things get out of hand, it will turn into a serious diplomatic crisis."

"Heh... that's how the relationship between the seven nations works." At this time, Diluk turned his head and looked at Sora, "Stranger, are you ready to go?"

"We can leave anytime." Kong nodded, indicating that he had no problem, "Let's go!"

"Hey, wait!" At this time, Paimon suddenly stopped everyone.

"what happened?"

"Should we call more people? For example, Mr. Uzumaki and Mr. Senju..." Paimon still wanted to call these two powerful guys together.

"We can't trouble them too much." Before Diluk could say anything, Jyn spoke first, "Although they are indeed powerful and willing to help Mondstadt, we can't exploit their friendship too much.

What we need to do is to try our best to settle everything on our own and let them see that we are indeed worthy of continuing to be friends with them.”

Jean couldn't help but speak like an acting leader again, and Diluk looked at her in surprise, because her thoughts were exactly the same as his. If it were the old Jean, she probably wouldn't have said something like this.

[It seems that the two of them have really brought a lot of changes to Mondstadt...]

It has to be said that he...is not disgusted by such an ambitious Qin.
