"Klee, slow down!"
"Sister Ying, come quick, quick, we're almost there~"
"Hah... I really can't travel for long periods before my body recovers..."
"But even when the host's body is healthy, wouldn't you find other excuses to cover up your lack of stamina?"
(Shut up!)
"We're here, we're here! Honorary Knight sister, Sister Ying, let's start fishing with bombs (✧∇✧)!"
"Wait, before that, let's clear out the nearby Hilichurl camps first. It'll be troublesome if we get surrounded later."
"Makes sense. Then let's each take one side. We won't bother with the ones across the river~"
"Mmm... I'm quite relieved about Klee, but your injuries haven't healed yet. If you get into trouble, you must call me!"
"Got it, don't worry~" (This feeling of being cared for is too comfortable! And the person caring for me is my favorite Sister Lumine~ (⌒▽⌒))
A while later...
"It seems like all the Hilichurls around here are gone. Did Klee bomb them all away while fishing too often? If that's the case, it's amazing those fish can still be so plentiful after being bombed so many times... Huh? Why are there so many people ahead?"
"Uh-huh... Judging by their clothes, they seem to be Treasure Hoarders. But don't they usually operate in Liyue? Have they come to Mondstadt to expand their territory? Or is the competition too fierce in Liyue that they can't survive anymore?"
"Old Third, where did you get this map from? We've searched this whole area and haven't found a single treasure chest."
"That's strange. The map says it should be around here... Brothers, search more carefully!"
"Uh-huh... Should I stop them... But those two tall guys look a bit tough. Although in terms of brute strength they're no match for a Hilichurl Brute, they have brains. Plus, with my current physical condition, if I get ambushed, I'll probably be in trouble. Hmm... I'd better go tell Lumine and deal with them together (￣д￣)"
"Deal with who together?"
"Deal with those Treasure Hoarders... Huh?"
"So, you want to deal with us? Little girl, you've got some nerve!?"
"You, you, you just misheard me. I said... I said... Ah! I was going to ask someone to help you find treasure too Σ(|||▽|||)" (Why didn't you warn me that they were already behind me!)
"I just wanted to see the host's response ability~"
(Go to hell!)
"Oh? So you're after our treasure map? Then don't rush to find someone. Let's have a good discussion about this treasure map first!"
"Ha... ha... Thank you for your kindness, but I really don't need it. I'll be going now... Ouch?! ≥﹏≤"
"Good job, Fourth! You little girl overheard our secrets and you think you can just run away? Do you think we'll let you go back for reinforcements?"
"Hmph... Just because you're tall, does that make you amazing! I'm not easy to bully either!" With that, Ying drew her black sword and confronted them.
"Yo?! Little girl, you have such a nice weapon?! If you know what's good for you, hand over this sword to big brother, and we might consider letting you go."
"Bah! It's I who should consider letting you go! If you know what's good for you, all of you should get out of here now!"
"You refuse a toast and prefer a punishment! Third! Show her what we're made of!"
"Sure thing, boss! Hehehe~ Hey! If you're smart, hand over the sword! Otherwise... *Pfft*?!"
Ying watched him swagger up to her and threaten her, then unleashed a Wind Sweeper attack directly at his stomach.
"Do you really think I'm a pushover?"
"Anemo?! You're quite unexpected. A young girl with a Vision can be sold for a good price..."
"Wha?! (Does Teyvat also have child trafficking? Wait... who's the child!)"
"The host is quite self-aware~"
(Get out, get out!)
"Hmph... That depends on whether you have the ability!"
"Heh, all of you, attack!"
Upon hearing the order, the grunts rolled up their sleeves and charged, intending to subdue Ying.
"Hmph..." Ying raised her black sword and unleashed several Anemo slashes at them, sending the charging grunts flying. She then quickly turned and blocked a large shovel that attacked from behind. The sharpness of her black sword was not something an ordinary shovel could contend with. The moment they collided, the shovel was split in two.
"It really is a good sword! Everyone be careful, if anyone dares to damage my sword, I'll throw them into the river to feed the fish!"
"Bah! This is your sword? Just you wait, I'll smash your mouth shut right away!"
"Hahahaha! You're not old, but you have a big mouth. Don't hold back, all of you. Aren't you ashamed for a bunch of adults to be beaten by a little girl like this?!"
"They still have trump cards? Could it be?! *Cough cough*... *cough*..." (It really is the shovel guy! ≥﹏≤)
"Cough... What is this... *cough*... trump card... *cough cough*..." (And the sound of breaking glass... Not good?!)
Ying realized something was wrong and tried to move away quickly, but it was too late. Thick ice had already formed on her feet before she could act.
"Whoa?! So many of you, *cough cough*... to beat up a little girl... you're even resorting to dirty tricks!" (Will this shovel guy ever stop! Ahhhhh!)
"Heh, when dealing with a girl with special abilities, using a few tricks seems normal, right? Stop! Don't get my clothes dirty. Hand it over!"
"Cough cough... Cough (＞﹏＜) Ah?! Give it back!"
"Oh my, it really is a good sword. Nice~ It suits my style."
"Bah! Shameless! Lumine! Quick... *muffled*?!"
"Still trying to call for reinforcements? Do you think we're all just wooden stakes?"
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Such a pretty little face. It will definitely sell for a good price! You little fish have taken the bait~ Just continue your futile struggles and let us enjoy ourselves hahahaha~"
"Mmm?! Mmph mmph mmph..." (No, I can't break free from this big oaf behind me. I need to find a way...)
"Oh dear, it seems I've gone too far~ But host, you really are a little jinx. A jinx that only harms yourself. You need to think of a way quickly~"
(I'll stew you one day!)
