Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

After the party ended and it was late at night, Nan Dou lay alone on the roof of Zephyr Cathedral, looking at the starry sky.

"Oh, in this case, I want to live here forever."

At today's gathering, Nan Dou could feel the sincere emotions of the nuns who had watched him grow up.

That is caring and protecting me like a family member, even though he has grown up now.

"If I had not died due to the intervention of fate, would those who had deep feelings for me not have forgotten me?"

"This feeling... is really good."

Nan Dou no longer had the same idea as he did at the beginning. He used to be used to being alone and was afraid to establish relationships with others.

But after fate's intervention last time, he developed a sense of belonging to Teyvat.

Here, there is a group of people who care about him, and he is no longer alone.

"Can I live here forever without fate interfering?"

Nan Dou asked this question in his mind.

The voice responded immediately: "Of course you can. You are being watched by the Star God of Destiny. You are not affected by the passage of time and are naturally immortal."

"But with your understanding of time, you will change your mind in a hundred years at most, and a hundred years is not even a drop in the ocean of time."

"You who are favored by [Fate] will also be affected by the tide of time. The world and timeline you are in now may intersect with other worlds."

"Even I can't predict what will happen then."

Nan Dou closed his eyes and continued, "That sounds a bit bad. How soon will that happen?"

"Anytime," the voice said without hesitation.

"Hehe, that's right. How can I, who has been blessed by God, live in peace forever? Thank you for your answer."

Nan Dou sighed deeply, opened his eyes and looked at the stars in the pure night sky, his mind full of mixed thoughts.

"Clap!"

A familiar sound of footsteps sounded behind me.

"Why are you lying here lamenting about life as soon as you get back?"

Rosalia still had that cold expression on her face, but Nan Dou could hear the concern in her words.

"Is there anything you would risk your life to protect?"

Hearing Nan Dou's words, Rosalia was stunned for a moment, then found a comfortable position and lay side by side with Nan Dou.

"That's not something you would say. Someone who puts protection into action shouldn't be so confused."

"But since you asked, I'll answer it reluctantly."

"For me, Mond is something I must protect at all costs."

Rosalia looked calm, as if she had the answer to this question without even having to think about it.

Before Nandou could ask why, Rosaria continued, "You know my background. To be honest, I didn't have a good impression of Mond or even the Wind God. I could even say I hated them."

"But Captain Falgar rescued me from the thieves' gang, brought me to Mondstadt, and gave me a free life to choose from."

"In order to repay his kindness, I am willing to protect Mondstadt in secret. The kindness given by those selfless people allows a homeless person like me to feel a little warmth, and at the same time, it makes me more determined in my thoughts."

"This is my answer. It's very simple, right? There's no profound truth to it."

Nan Dou turned his head and looked at Rosalia, her dark purple face rarely turned a little red.

Perhaps in the whole Mondstadt, only Nan Dou, who had helped her many times when she was young, could make her speak such sincere words.

Although she is a nun, what she does has nothing to do with being a nun, and she even often calls the wind god's name wrong.

The most common phrase related to the wind god is "In the name of Bartobas, the god of wind, go to hell."

But she also prays, but not for God or anyone else, but for herself!

"Thank you Rosalia, I figured it out."

"No matter what the road ahead holds, you have to walk it to find out."

"After all, we can't stand still forever, right?"

Seeing the smile on Nandou's lips, Rosalia, who had been trying hard to force herself to enforce justice at night, suddenly felt relieved.

The two of them lay there until dawn.

……

Even after staying up all night, Nan Dou didn't feel tired at all.

Looking at the rising sun in the sky, Nan Dou finally smiled with relief.

"Should we send a letter to Kurumi first, or should we just give her a surprise when the time comes?"

Nan Dou jumped down from the West Wind Cathedral, spread his wings of wind and fled amid the screams of the nuns who got up early to work.

After breakfast, Nan Dou showed up at the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.

Although he doesn't want to be a Knight of Favonius anymore, Nandou is still very curious about the current development of Mond.

However, there are not many knights in the Knights of Favonius who remember Nan Dou. If Kaeya had not met at the door, it would have been difficult to get in.

Because Cripps did not die, Kaeya did not reveal his identity to Diluk, so the relationship between the two brothers is still very close.

Office of the Master of the Knights of the West Wind.

"Senior Nandou, I knew you would come."

Qin looked at Nan Dou who pushed open the door and came in and said without any surprise, with an unconcealable smile on her face.

"Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm just here to take a look. I have no intention of re-employing you."

Nan Dou quickly waved his hands to explain, fearing that Qin would reveal his identity as a dragon-slaying hero to the entire Mondstadt in the next second.

"Don't worry, if Senior Nandou doesn't want me to, I won't take the initiative."

"It's good that you know. I'll just watch and do nothing..."

After half an hour.

"Senior, these are the only problems Mond has encountered recently. Please see..."

"We need to strengthen ideological education, increase R&D investment in various industries, add more industrial chains, and use the power of the Knights of Favonius to link them together..."

In the end, Nan Dou couldn't help himself and discussed Mond's development strategy with Qin for the whole morning.

Of course, the specific approach depends on Jean's decision based on Mondstadt's actual situation, and Nandou is just providing an idea.

"Senior Nandou, it's almost noon, shall we go have a meal together?"

"Well, after all that talk, I'm going to give you a good beating!"

"my pleasure!"

Although the Gunhild family behind Qin was the first noble family to have its family power reduced, it also gained more opportunities, which increased the family's power instead of decreasing it, and its assets surpassed many big Mond merchants in one fell swoop.

Qin walked briskly, humming a little tune. Nandou couldn't help but think to himself when he saw her like this: "Mond is becoming more and more like that country. I don't know if it's good or bad."

After dinner, Nandou suddenly thought of something, so he asked, "Qin, has anyone claiming to be a traveler appeared in Mondstadt recently?"

"Traveler..." Qin thought about it carefully, shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it, but I can keep an eye out for you."

"No rush, I'll be away for a while these two days." Nan Dou waved his hand.

"Leaving again! How long?" Qin asked hurriedly.

“Anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.”

"Don't worry, I will come back."

Nan Dou quickly explained to reassure Qin that he would not dare to leave without saying goodbye this time.

"That's good. I wish you a safe journey."

After saying goodbye to Qin, Nan Dou informed all his friends of his departure.

This time, although everyone was reluctant, no one stopped it.

This is free Mondstadt, and no one's free will should be restricted!
