Chapter 10: Diluc, the Captain and the Fish Girl
As far as the universality theory is concerned, Nan Shuo feels that his sexual orientation is normal, but looking at Wendy, who is petite without the Adam's apple in front of him, and his current somewhat astringent movements, Nan Shuo, who has drunk a little wine, is a little uncalm.
"Calm down, calm down, Nanshuo, although Wendy is a genderless elf, your target is a mature big sister."
Nan Shuo pressed his forehead and forced himself to calm down, recalling the big sister he had seen in his mind.
For a moment, he thought of Ningguang and Eula, and the purple shadow that was already a little blurry.
Suddenly, Nan Shuo's expression became a little lonely, his eyes were full of memories and sadness, and he said abruptly:
"I've already come out, but I don't dare to face you at all......"
Wendy collapsed on the table drunk, one leg bare, the other with half-stripped white stockings.
Nan Shuo shook his head, reluctantly stood up and went to check out.
He walked out of the tavern after settling the bill, not intending to find a place for the "springy" bard.
He wanted to find a place to be quiet now.
Out of the tavern, Mondstadt's sky had darkened, and the warm yellow light at the tavern door shone on Nanshuo's somewhat lost back, and as his back continued to stretch under the light, Nanshuo walked into an unknown corner.
"What are the people from Liyue Northland Bank doing in Mondstadt? Did the Fatui transfer you? ”
Behind Nan Shuo, a deep male voice sounded.
Under the moonlight, a red-haired man dressed in black and wearing a mask stood behind Nanshuo, who was none other than the Night Hero of Mondstadt.
"Oh, red hair, a very unique color, there aren't many redheads in Mondstadt, I wonder who you are?"
Of course, Nanshuo knew that this was Diluc, and in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, he planned to pretend that he didn't know.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but you, the Fatui Advisor to Mondstadt on the Day of the Coming of the Dragons. I now suspect that you are behind the dragon plague in Mondstadt, and you had better be honest about the conspiracy behind it, or I won't be able to guarantee your safety. ”
Diluc's deception to Nanshuo was a coincidence that the two Dvalins in Mondstadt were busy with the Knights of Favonius in the morning and in the afternoon in Mondstadt, and it was hard not to wonder what the Fatui's specially hired advisor had done.
According to Diluc's speculation, it is very likely that Mondstadt's dragon plague was orchestrated by the Fatui.
After all, there has been a similar incident before.
Thinking of this, Diluc's eyes behind the mask were clouded.
"Do you want to do it again?"
Diluc's Vision lit up, and a great sword appeared in his hand. The fire elemental in the surrounding air instantly became active, gradually converging towards the great sword in Diluc's hand.
"Hey, wait, I'm just a nominal advisor, I'm a good citizen of Liyue."
Nanshuo hurriedly explained that he didn't want to fight the uncrowned king of Mondstadt for some reason.
He didn't want to go to the angel's gift to drink something strange later.
"The Fatui will recruit a good citizen as an advisor? Less kidding! ”
The big sword was smashed towards Nanshuo, not fast and without elemental power, it was obvious that Diluc just wanted to test Nanshuo.
"Damn, you guy is really inexplicable, then I'll play with you today."
The light in Nanshuo's hand flickered, and a large sword of the same style as Diluc appeared.
After taking a step back to dodge Diluc's attack, Nanshuo gathered the dark fire on the blade.
"Here, the verdict is pronounced!"
As soon as the words fell, a black flame phoenix figure rushed towards Diluc.
Diluc's eyes were startled, and he also used [Dawn] to fight back.
With a bang, the black and red phoenixes engulfed each other, converging into a huge fireball and bursting out at the point of collision.
In the face of the massive explosion, Diluc could only use his hands to block the front and back of his body.
A scorching wave of air crashed into this unknown corner, and a deafening sound resounded throughout the night of Mondstadt.
When the aftermath subsided and the smoke cleared, Diluc opened his eyes, only to find that Nanshuo on the other side had long since disappeared.
"He, do you know who I am?"
Being able to use the same moves as himself, and uttering his own mantra, the man didn't know that he didn't believe Diluc.
In the darkness, the sound of the arrival of the knights was heard in the distance, and the "righteous man" who remained in place shook his head and left the scene with a sigh.
The head of the piano troupe, whose eyes were a little dry, hurried over.
She was dealing with the Knights' complicated work, and when she heard the explosion in Mondstadt, Jean's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she was afraid that Klee had come out to do something bad again, and she was even more afraid of the increase in work to deal with tomorrow, so she hurriedly brought someone over to take care of the aftermath.
After arriving at the scene, looking at the bombed city walls and sunken ground, Qin's eyes suddenly rolled and she almost fainted.
Fortunately, Eula, who was still filling the pit, had not finished yet, and rushed over when she heard the sound, and when she saw that Qin was about to faint, she hurriedly rushed forward to help her.
"Commander, what's wrong with you, Commander!"
Eula shouted anxiously as she looked at Jean's dying.
"What, my knight's heart is quite fragile."
"Commander......"
"Eula, why are you making such a noise?"
"Because...... Because! ”
"I'm the acting head of the Knights of Favonius, Jean. Gunnhilde. A few complaints don't matter at all. So, don't stop."
Two tears suddenly crossed the corners of Qin's eyes, and everyone could taste the bitterness of helplessness.
"Leader......" Eula looked at the loveless piano with a little reluctance in her eyes.
Jean suddenly grabbed Eula, her face suddenly became a little hideous and terrifying, and she said word by word:
"Why don't you hurry up and get Klee for me!"
So why is Klee, who is exploding fish in Starfall Lake at the moment, identified by Captain Qin as the murderer of this case.
[It's detective time in Nanshuo]
First of all, the scene was filled with the fire elemental force left over from the explosion.
Secondly, Klee has a history of planting bombs in the city, and according to her own account, there are likely to be several remaining bombs.
Last but not least, a well-meaning demon god who was inconvenient to name used his authority to create a few pieces of Klee's bomb fragments and put them in place.
"Ahh
At this moment, Nan Shuo, who was drilling back into the Jade Pavilion in the different space, sneezed in the quilt of Ningguang, and this kind guy said suspiciously: "Could it be that Wendy woke up?" Or which beauty misses me? Could it be Diluc...... Forget it, forget it, my head is a little dizzy, go to bed first. ”
Just as Nanshuo was sleeping soundly in the quilt he had snatched, a certain [Mondstadt's Strongest] fried fish was brought back by Eula, and he was embarrassed to cross his hands and look at the head of the piano who didn't look right.
"That, Captain Qin, I just went to the lake to have fun, and I didn't want to fry fish......"
Klee has an aggrieved expression on her face, trying to fool her by.
If it were normal times, she might really be let go after being lectured by Qin before committing a crime.
But it's a pity that today's Jean smiled no matter what Klee said, and Klee was a little panicked when she laughed, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore and said directly:
"Captain Qin, I know it's wrong, I'll go to the confinement room."
But before she could run to the door, the door to the room was shut by something.
Qin, who still had some wind elements in her hand, walked behind Klee with a smile and said softly:
"Klee, guess why I asked you to come over?"
"Because Klee went to Starfall Lake to fry fish, Klee is a bad boy."
"No, think again."
"That'...... I stole the pizza you bought at the Cattail Tavern before? ”
As soon as Qin heard this, a few green tendons faintly appeared on her white forehead, and she said in a slightly trembling tone: "No, you guess again." ”
Klee lowered her head and pondered, and after thinking for a long time, it dawned on her, "That's the picture I saw in the notebook on your desk before." ”
As soon as these words came out, Jean became a little confused, and she asked, "What photo?" ”
"It's the head of the regiment, you still had a red-haired ...... when you were a child"
Before Klee could finish speaking, Jean covered her mouth.
At this time, Kaeya Amber Eula and the others, who were leaning against the door, pricked up their ears and held their breath, listening carefully to the conversation inside.
Suddenly, the door was opened by Jean without warning, and a group of people instantly fell to the ground.
Jean looked at the people on the ground, and there was a dangerous glint in her eyes.
"Ah, hello head of the regiment, I suddenly remembered that I still have something, and the good meat clan is making trouble again, I'll go take someone to see it now." Kaeya quickly stood up, touched the back of his head, and slipped away.
"Ah, Kaeya wait for me, I'll go with you." This is Amber.
"Ah, commander, the pit outside the city gate has not been filled yet, it would not be good if someone fell in the dark light this night, I will go over and guard it now." This is Eula.
Then everyone found various reasons to flee the scene.
"Then the head of the regiment, I suddenly thought that there was something else, and I would leave first."
Klee tries to follow in everyone's footsteps and escape.
But as soon as he walked out of the door, he was grabbed by a hand, and then he was pulled into the door.
That night, Klee's screams and loud slaps rang out like Mondstadt's most iconic symphony.
…………………………。
Back at Dawn Winery, Diluc lay tired on his bed in his bedroom, and he hired someone else to take over the shift, and he went to act as the Night Hero himself.
He pondered what had just happened, and finally sighed.
Sit up and look at the pictures on the table next to you.
There are four people in the photo, Kaeya as a child and Diluc, and a little girl with blond hair.
And all three of them were surrounded by an arm-edged red-haired middle-aged male.
"Father's ......"
Diluc was a little distracted, as if he had been in time from a long, long time ago.
