Genshin Impact: Paimon and I are both Ying’s emergency food

"Well, I'm so sorry."

"You guys just came back from the war, and I'm talking about these serious topics again..."

Amber felt a little guilty.

"It's okay. After all, strictly speaking, we were the ones who brought up these topics first."

Tan Ningsu waved his hands quickly.

"By the way, speaking of this, why don't you let me treat you to a meal as a celebration banquet!"

"Let's try the fried pork with honey sauce and carrots again!"

Amber made an invitation that could not be refused.

"Great!"

Paimon raised both hands in agreement.

"Then you guys go wait for me at the Deer Hunter first. I'll be there as soon as the battlefield is cleaned up!"

Amber said in a brisk tone.

"hey-hey."

"I'm lucky today~"

"I just got back and someone treated me to a meal!"

Paimon said with a grin.

The three of them walked across the bridge, greeted the Knights of Favonius they met along the way, and stepped into the long-missed Mondstadt.

Then, as they approached the Adventurer's Guild, they heard a loud voice.

"Here we go, it's getting lively!"

"Crisis, disaster! Adventure, passion!"

"Adventurer's Guild! Finally! We are going to get rid of those trivial commissions of catching cats and dogs! A new era of adventure has arrived!"

"Young people, come and join the Adventurer's Guild! In this turbulent time, let's fight the dragon disaster together and save Mondstadt!"

The bearded uncle stopped Tan Ningsu and the other two and gave a "blood-boiling" speech.

Tan Ningsu and the other two looked at each other, and all of them felt ashamed and embarrassed to listen to his words.

"Um, President Serius..."

"Isn't the dragon disaster over? Captain Qin should have told everyone publicly yesterday..."

Tan Ningsu weakly reminded Serius, the president of the Mond branch of the Adventurer's Association, who seemed to be out of touch with the news.

"...Ah? What did you say?!"

Serius looked incredulous.

"The dragon disaster problem has been resolved? Did I miss the acting leader's speech?"

"...Why can't the Wind Dragon hold on a little longer? We haven't even appeared yet!"

Serius had a look of regret on his face, and his tone sounded as if he had missed out on a hundred million dollars that was so close at hand!

"Should we go first?"

Paimon said quietly.

Tan Ningsu and Ying nodded.

The three of them walked away from Serius, who was still immersed in the Adventurer's Guild's efforts and continued walking towards the Deerslayer.

"If he knew that we were the culprits who 'ruined' his beautiful dream, would we be beaten?"

Paimon asked the two quietly.

"Uh... probably not?"

"After all, aren't we adventurers too?"

"In theory, we are all family. If we become famous, will the Adventurer's Association also benefit from it?"

Tan Ningsu said with an uncertain look on his face.

"Susu!"

When the three of them were about to reach the Wind of Glory, a voice suddenly called out to Tan Ningsu.

"Eh? It's Mr. Ning Lu, what happened?"

After seeing who was coming, Tan Ningsu asked in confusion.

"I heard from Captain Qin."

"Thank you! It's finally over!"

Ning Lu clasped his hands together and bowed to the three people in an exaggerated manner to express his gratitude.

"Mr. Ning Lu..."

"Due to the dragon disaster, many trade routes are blocked. It's ok for food and fruits, but if the wine is out of stock, it will be fatal!"

“I can’t imagine life without alcohol.”

"Oh. By the way, what did you want to say just now, Susu?"

After Ning Lu finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have interrupted what Tan Ningsu was about to say.

"No, it's nothing."

Mr. Ning Lu...you really are...an alcoholic...

Tan Ningsu's mouth twitched and he swallowed the humble words he was about to say.

(Tan Susu: Of course it’s just polite talk, that’s saving Tevarin! How can I not hear people praising me! It would be best to hear everyone’s praise for Ying!)

"That Mr. Ning Lu... well... he really is... worthy of being a Mondstadt person..."

He is too similar to their Wind God! (They are both drunkards!)

After saying goodbye to Ning Lu, Paimeng said, not knowing what to say.

"It's Mondstadt after all..."

Tan Ningsu also felt that the citizens of Mondstadt were sometimes quite careless.

"Hmm? Sister Grace?"

When passing by the sign in front of the Cat's Tail Tavern, Tan Ningsu saw a figure that rarely appeared in this location.

"Ah, it's you guys."

"I heard from Captain Qin that I am very grateful for your contribution to Mondstadt. You are indeed worthy honorary knights."

"And... it turns out that he was Lord Tevarin, one of the Four Guardians of the Winds... The people of Mond should not forget his self-sacrifice in the past."

Grace looked compassionate.

"Fortunately, the relationship between us and Lord Tevarin, the Dragon of the East Wind, has not yet reached an irreversible point..."

"Let me thank you again, as well as Captain Qin of the Knights. You are all pious people."

At the end, a trace of shame appeared on Grace's face.

Perhaps he was ashamed of himself and had forgotten all that Tevarin had done for Mond in the past, and without knowing the truth, he regarded him as a foolish beast who had betrayed the east wind.

"As long as the Knights of Favonius are here, I think Mondstadt will continue to be as peaceful and free as before."

"If you have anything to do, just go ahead and do it. Don't worry about me."

Grace said in a gentle tone.

"We'll be leaving now, Sister Grace, please be safe on your own."

Tan Ningsu and the other two said goodbye to Grace.

"This nun is much nicer than the one we met in the church before!"

Paimon thought back to the nun he met when he "borrowed" the piano before, and said by comparison.

"Sister Gottlinde isn't that bad, is she?"

"Her attitude towards Tevarin before was more or less the attitude of most people in Mondstadt. As a nun, Miss Gottlinde would never have made such a hasty conclusion without the tacit approval of the bishop."

"To put it bluntly, it's still humans (most of those in power)...who forget too quickly."

Tan Ningsu said somewhat sadly.

Five hundred years...

For humans, it has been a very long time. However, there are immortal species in this world. For them, five hundred years may seem like yesterday...

"Let's not talk about this any more. Let's go to the Deer Hunter and find a seat to sit down and wait for Amber to treat us!"

Tan Ningsu realized that her mood seemed not right, so she quickly changed the subject and cheered herself up.

"That's right, let's go!"

The foodie Paimeng became very excited when he heard what Tan Ningsu said, and didn't notice that someone seemed to be in a bad mood.

Although Ying noticed it, she didn't say anything.

For some things, she needs to get over the hurdle in her heart first, otherwise they can't help her.

"Three guests, what would you like to order today?"

The three of them stood at the Deer Hunter front desk, ready to order.

"Oh, how heartless! Are you just ignoring me, your "best friend"?"

Kaia on the side said with a somewhat resentful tone.

Hmm... they don't seem that familiar?

Tan Ningsu touched his head.

As the three of them approached the Deer Hunter Restaurant, they noticed Kaia standing aside in deep thought.

Seeing that he looked thoughtful, the three of them didn't want to disturb him and didn't say hello. Unexpectedly, they were now being blamed.

"I accidentally missed you."

Ying said jokingly, which was rare.

"That sounds really sad."

Kaia looked hurt.

"However, Mondstadt's new hero is standing right in front of me. As a knight, my morale is really boosted."

But soon Kaia changed his attitude.

"Is Kaia just being sweet-talking?"

Paimon felt like he was getting goosebumps.

"Haha, what I said is true."

Kaia said with a smile.

"So, what are you planning?"

Ying said warily.

Someone like Kaeya who has too many ulterior motives is not suitable for Susu and Paimon to interact with.

"Me? No, no, on the contrary, I'm thinking about what 'others' are planning."

"I'm just going to find a quiet place to sort out my thoughts."

Kaia confessed.

Why not go to the Knights?

Now the Knights are so busy thinking about important things on the busy streets?

Tan Ningsu thought with some confusion.

What do you mean by looking for a "quiet place"? She thought that he was just waiting for the three of them!

Ying saw through Kaia's thoughts at a glance.

"Hmm? So what are you thinking about?"

Paimon asked curiously.

Look, hasn't the little idiot in the team taken the bait?

Ying held her forehead helplessly.

"It's about...the Order of the Abyss."

Kaia said in a low voice.

"The dragon disaster is raging, but the Knight Commander is far away, fighting against the dragon. This is a very good strategic opportunity for the Abyss Cult."

"If it were you, would you only send the Hillichul people to act?"

Kaia whispered and looked at the three people.

"So, what is the truth?"

Good, she is actually interested in this.

Ying responded to Kaia.

"In order to find out the truth..."

"Wait, Captain Kaia, is it really okay to say this here?"

Tan Ningsu gestured to the others to look at Miss Sarah who was smiling at them not far away, as well as the Mond citizens coming and going around them, and then looked at Kaeya with a puzzled look.

This kind of news shouldn't be discussed in public, right? !

"Oh, I overlooked this."

Kaiya admitted his mistake directly.

"Then let's go to another place first?"

Kaia suggested.

"How about we talk about it next time? We still have to wait for Amber..."

Tan Ningsu said with some entanglement.

The news won’t run away, so it will be the same if you hear it another day, right?

Um......

Is this girl born to be his nemesis?

If he wanted to talk about it another day, how could he suddenly launch a test?

Kaia was speechless.

With his ability, he could of course see that Tan Ningsu was thinking about him and the confidentiality of the information, but he didn't intend to do that? !

what is this?

Natural way to counter evil?

Ying thought in her heart.

Ah, as expected, sincerity is always the ultimate weapon!

Look, the scheming guy can’t find any words to say.

"It won't take long. Few people pass by the alley behind the restaurant. Let's go there and talk."

Kaia had no choice but to suggest this.

The four of them changed their positions.

Tan Ningsu put on a sparkling look, wanting to continue listening to Kaiya.

Kaiya continued helplessly:

"Before taking the call, in order to find out the truth, I decided to wait and observe their further actions."

"It wasn't until the day you guys turned the Wind Dragon Ruins upside down and the Hillilks' noises rang out at the city gates that I finally spotted a suspicious figure in Mondstadt."

Kaia said.

So, this is the truth about what Amber said, that the Kaias disappeared?

Tan Ningsu blinked and remembered what Amber had said before.

"In the city?!"

Paimon said in surprise.

"Well, when the other knights are busy defending the city from foreign enemies, isn't that when the defenses inside the city are at their most vulnerable?"

"So, I stayed in the city and dealt with the intruders from the Abyss Cult..."

"Through some tricks, I got some new information."

Kaia said in a slightly cold tone.

Of course, this indifference was not directed at Tan Ningsu and the other two.

"This is the information: Behind these gathered monsters of the Abyss Cult, there is a leader."

Kaia told the three people directly.

"Commander?"

Tan Ningsu felt a little strange.

Isn't it natural to have a leader? Why is it so strange?

"The plan to transform Tevarin into a weapon of war was proposed and planned by that leader."

Kaia continued.

"What kind of 'tricks' did you use to find out this?"

Paimon asked curiously.

The other three fell silent.

"Little tricks"... Aren't they just those torture methods...

But it's better not to tell it out loud to scare Paimon...

Thinking of the "variety of torture methods" used in his hometown, Tan Ningsu chose to remain silent.

"Hehe, just think of it as me having a natural talent for 'language'."

Kaia said with a grin.

"Anyway, that leader was called "Prince Highness" by the monsters of the Abyss Cult."

""prince"......"

Ying murmured.

She was somewhat concerned about this title.

"Okay, that's all for the information sharing. I think the cleanup at the city gate should be finished. Amber must still be mad at me for not accompanying her to defend the city gate... Please allow me to leave for a while and stay out of the spotlight."

Kaia said in a light tone.

It seems that he was too suspicious.

Kaia left.

"Let's go back first. It would be bad if Amber comes and can't find us."

Tan Ningsu suggested.

As for what Kaia just said...

That kind of thing is too far away from them. Anyway, Tevarin has been rescued, and they may not encounter the Abyss Cult again in the future.

Tan Ningsu thought very optimistically.

Goethe Hotel.

"grown ups."

"How are you preparing?"

"Everything is ready, just waiting for your order."
