"Let's go!" Garula and Amber rushed out first and ran towards the street.
"Wait, wait for me!" Cole also let go of his reserve and hurriedly caught up with the two energetic people.
"Close the door gently! You'll have to pay for it if it breaks!" And Yu Jin was the last one to speak. He was like an old woman, muttering to himself.
……
The Blackfire case happened a day ago, but there is still no clue. As a result, Mondstadt has received a lot of pressure from the Fatui, but it has not affected the masses for the time being.
So Mond Square is still bustling with people.
People from nearby towns have long brought all kinds of items to Mondstadt, adding a touch of style to this pearl of the North.
Yu Jin sat on a chair outside the Deer Hunter Restaurant, watching three girls choosing clothes not far away.
"Does it take so long to buy clothes?" Yu Jin was a little confused. He sat on the chair for a long time, but the three girls showed no signs of finishing their business.
This caused the restaurant waitress, Miss Sarah, to look at Yu Jin with some resentment - he didn't order anything.
However, Yu Jin obviously didn't care about this, and Sarah's gaze was automatically replaced by his admiration for the king.
"Yu, Brother Yi Yan, what do you think of this dress? This is what we chose for you." Under the instigation of Jia Ruoluo and Amber, Kelai ran to Yi Yan holding a gray-black coat.
"Hiss--" Yu Jin felt a little toothache. In his current horrible state, just taking off his helmet would be enough to cause him to collide with the ancient gods, not to mention changing into normal clothes.
But when he saw Cole's expectant eyes, Yu Jin's head hurt even more.
Seeing Yu Jin stroking his chin and not responding, Cole's little face couldn't help but fall.
"Well, I'm sorry to bother Brother Yujin." Cole said as he held his coat, looking a little lost.
"Come here." Yu Jin put his hand on Ke Lai's shoulder and then hugged her in his arms.
"Like Cole, I also have something in my body. But I don't have Cole's natural beauty. I'm very ugly." Yu Jin leaned close to Cole's ear and whispered.
Kelai felt a warm current blowing on his earlobe, and his little face turned red.
Along with the heat flow was the smell of embers, a peculiar mixture of the ashes of the fiercely burning sun and firewood.
"Also, you are the only one who knows this secret. I haven't even told Galaluo." Yu Jin thought for a moment and added.
"Okay! They are all waiting impatiently, let's go and play!" After saying that, Yu Jin pushed Cole away.
Cole clutched her coat tightly and looked at the embers waving at her. She seemed to have found a new goal, and this time it was not revenge.
"It seems that sir is very good at dealing with young girls. Haha, it's really interesting." A frivolous voice came from the other side of Yu Jin.
Ember turned around and saw a wheat-skinned man wearing an eye patch standing opposite him.
"Cavalry Captain Kaia, can I sit here please?" Although Kaia asked this, he had already pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Yu Jin, take a seat." Yu Jin nodded, not surprised by his arrival.
After all, he is not a professional assassin, and his actions last night will definitely leave a lot of traces. It is only a matter of time before he is found.
"Sarah, give me two glasses of dandelion wine, put it on my bill!" Kaia ordered two glasses of wine immediately after sitting down, to moisten his throat for the subsequent conversation.
"Want a try? Mondstadt's wine is the best on the continent, and the dandelion wine produced in Mondstadt is even more unique." Kaia pushed one of the two glasses of wine brought by Sarah to Yujin.
Yu Jin picked up the wine glass. To be honest, he had no sense of taste and his only impression of alcohol came from the wine given to him by the Onion Knight.
That is a wine that even the immortal can taste.
Just like Garula and the others, Kaia only felt his eyes flicker, and then there was no drop of wine left in the ember glass.
Kaiya narrowed his eyes. He didn't see anything just now. Was he deliberately showing his strength to him?
"Hmm, nice wine." Yu Jin said lightly. As he expected, he still couldn't taste anything.
Kaiya didn't care. Drinking was secondary. He smiled and said:
"Haha, I'm glad you like it. Mond has many more delicious wines, and you will taste them in the days to come."
"Really? But Mr. Kaia, you didn't come to me just to drink, right?" Yu Jin asked Kaia opposite him.
He could sense that Kaia's purpose in looking for him was not simple, but unfortunately Yu Jin was really not good at figuring out other people's thoughts. He was better at just taking it out and taking a look.
Kaiya's face twitched slightly. He didn't expect Yu Jin to be so straightforward. He had prepared a lot of excuses.
"In that case, I'll just say it straight. That girl is the murderer in the Black Fire case." Kaia said as he looked at Cole who was playing with Amber in the distance.
"I've seen it. Those two diplomats deserve to be killed!" said Yu Jin.
"If you kill someone, you either have to atone for your sin or pay with your life. There is no other option." Yu Jin knocked on the table.
"They are diplomats, their identities are different." Kaiya breathed out, without refuting Yu Jin's statement, but only pointed out the identity of the deceased.
"What do you think we should do? I don't think Mond needs to sacrifice a young girl in exchange for stability." Yu Jin looked at the Knights of Favonius patrolling in the distance, then looked at the tall city walls, and said slowly.
Kaiya smiled and said slowly: "Of course, Mond will not give up on anyone."
"We have found the murderer of the Black Flame case. This time the Fatui will escort him themselves. As a hero who punishes evil and promotes good, we can't give up on him, right?"
Kaia drank the wine in the glass and said to the ember.
Ember nodded, he knew what to do.
"Tomorrow at noon, Eagle Beach." Kaia stood up, turned his back to the embers, and disappeared into the crowd.
"Cough cough cough!" In the distance, where Yujin couldn't see, Kaia leaned against the wall with his face flushed.
"It turns out that dandelion wine is to be savored slowly. It's a wonder he can swallow it if he guzzles it like that." Kaia shook his head, trying to ease the effects of the alcohol.
"Phew, it seems we have pulled back a win this time. Haha, this is really funny!" Kaia couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if thinking of the Fatui's frustrated look.
He believed that this trip to Mond would definitely impress those arrogant guys.
Chapter 10 Black Knife, Kidney Harvester
2023-08-28
Girls are always troublesome. Amber and her friends kept strolling until the sun set before they were finally satisfied.
The main people shopping were obviously Garuru and Cole. In any case, Yu Jin didn't see Amber change out of her clothes.
The fiery red rabbit ear headband bounced, showing the owner's happy mood. The time spent with friends is always short, and Amber looked at the sunset in the sky with some regret.
She still has a lot of interesting places that she hasn't introduced to Jia Luluo and Ke Lai, but unfortunately time does not allow it.
"Let's stop here today! I'll come play with you guys later!" Amber said goodbye to Yu Jin and the other two at an intersection.
Then she ran towards a house in a hurry.
What surprised Yu Jin was that there was a furry rabbit doll at the door of Amber's house, and it was jumping into Amber's arms.
[What a magical creature.] Yu Jin only looked at it for a while and then pulled Jialuo and Kelai away.
After a day of relaxation, Cole was obviously more relaxed. She was wearing a light green dress and playing with Galura in front of her.
"It seems that I have a talent for guiding people." Yu Jin couldn't help feeling a little proud as he listened to the laughter not far away.
He is good at both protection and destruction.
"Come here, let me tell you something." Yu Jin waved and said to the two girls in the distance.
"What? What? Are you going out to play again tonight?" Galula ran over carelessly.
"Galura, why are you still so playful?" Cole regained the feeling of being the eldest sister.
"I have to go out for something tomorrow. Take care of yourself. I will probably be back in the afternoon." Yu Jin said casually.
Then he found that the atmosphere was visibly declining.
Seeing the two people's eyes begin to be filled with mist again, Yu Jin shouted in a panic:
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you looking at me so resentfully? It's not like I don't want you anymore."
"Really?" Galura was a little worried.
"Really!" said Ember firmly.
"Brother Yu Jin, be careful." Ke Lai bit her lip. She had experienced more and seen more.
Yu Jin looked at Ke Lai in surprise, then he smiled and ruffled Ke Lai's short green hair, saying:
"Looking too deeply can sometimes make you lose your courage. Cole, try to look shallower. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes. I'll cover you now."
Kelai's body froze for a long time. She raised her head and a bright smile appeared on her flushed cheeks. "Then I'll leave everything to Brother Yu Jin from now on!"
However, this atmosphere was soon interrupted by Garuru, who took the other hand of the ember, placed it on his head, and said:
"What about me? What about me? Does Brother Ember have anything to say to me?"
Yu Jin looked at Jialuo who was rubbing his hand, and patted her head helplessly:
"You don't have to change it. The energetic idiot is talking about you."
"Ahhh! I'm not stupid!" Galura was unhappy. She didn't think she was stupid.
"But I like it very much." Yu Jin added.
Now it was Garula's turn to blush. Actually, being an idiot was not a bad thing since she had brother Yu Jin to protect her anyway.
"Hey, hey, hey! Wait for me!" Just as Jialuo was grinning, Yu Jin and Ke Lai had already walked away. She hurriedly shouted and followed them.
There is more laughter in Mondstadt at sunset.
……
After leaving Mondstadt, Yu Jin shouted to Garuru and Cole who were watching him from the city wall:
"Okay, let's go back!"
The farewell scene was always ordinary, and Yu Jin's shouting did not attract much attention. At most, some people looked at him a few more times because of his peculiar clothes.
Yu Jin did not look at Mondstadt behind him anymore. He increased his speed gradually. Soon, Mondstadt disappeared from his sight.
Taking out the map, Yu Jin remembered what Kaia said yesterday.
[If possible, be gentle. Two diplomats have died, and the Kingdom of Dong is already very angry.]
[If too many people die this time, I'm afraid they will send a new executive officer over, and then it will be troublesome. ]
"This is a really troublesome request." Yu Jin shook his head, but he could understand that since he was weak, he had to compromise at the right time. He didn't mind this approach.
Along the way, Yu Jin disappeared and didn't even bother to look at the scenery in front of him.
