Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

After Katsina and Malani won the Return of the Flame Holy Night Parade, they each returned to their respective lounges.

Just when we thought the day was over, two strangers suddenly burst in.

After careful checking by the staff, they were not on the list of individual competitions and had nothing to do with Katsina who was resting.

"What a narrow road for enemies! Do you still remember us? Just now, you took advantage of us when we were both injured and attacked us, causing us to lose the qualification for the competition."

"Since we meet again, let's fight here and see who is more qualified to participate in the individual competition." The two men named Tamuin and Tepepan cursed.

[Kaeya: The one who laughs last wins. It's your choice to be a fisherman or a clam.]

Xingqiu: You made the wrong choice.

[Treasure Hunting Group: Hey! Let's settle the copyright fee!]

Keqing: These guys are too unreasonable. This was originally a free-for-all. There's no chance for a second chance.

[Cole: I'm so scared... This background music sounds like the one when the Doctor appears.]

【Doctor: Oh, really? 】

[Young Master: Luck is also a part of strength. If you are not good at it, then practice more. If you can't afford to lose, don't play.]

[Paimon: Ahhh! If they meet Sitrali, these two will definitely not have a good ending. Let them experience the horror of Granny Obsidian.]

[Olorun: Yes, grandma is scary]

【Sita: You're talking bad about me behind my back again】

Shen He: My master taught me that if someone doesn’t offend me, I’ll give in a little. If someone offends me again, I’ll cut them off completely.

Ganyu: Did I misunderstand something? A True Lord wouldn't say that, would he?

[Xianyun: Just leave it to Yanfei, she’s very good at it.]

....

The two towering figures loomed before Katsina like two mountains, giving her a strong sense of oppression. She couldn't help but flinch slightly, a look of grievance unconsciously appearing on her face, as if she had been greatly frightened.

However, at this tense moment, a figure appeared before Katsina as fast as lightning. Although small, it exuded a powerful aura.

The person who came turned out to be the number one worker in Teyvat—the sister of the Prince of the Abyss, Huangmaoying!

Ying, hands on her hips, glared defiantly at the two tall figures, her eyes revealing a fearless ruthlessness. Her lips curled up slightly, "Two of you, do you need me to fight you for a few moves?"

Paimon, who was standing by, couldn't hold back his anger and shouted, "We just came here to chat with Katsina, but we didn't expect to see you bad guys threatening her right after we came in."

"Humph! We won't sit idly by and will never allow you to bully Katsina!"

[Ying: I'm protecting her, understand?]

[Paimon: That’s right! 】

[Linny: The Three Bullies of Teyvat? ]

[Funina: I always feel like you are talking about me, but I have no evidence]

【Nilu: Cool! 】

Sinonen: Every year, there are people like this. The Holy Night of the Returning Flame Procession symbolizes glory, so some people who are not selected feel unbalanced, thinking that they have missed the mark. I have encountered this many times.

[Ying: I'm just a fake...traveler passing by]

[Wendy: A demigod-level traveler and two ordinary people... isn't the power disparity a bit too great?]

[Zhongli: In terms of universal rationality, this is indeed the case]

[Walnut (Nata): It's finally here. I'm going to open a branch of the Rebirth Hall.]

....

After comforting Katsina, the two also cheered her up.

Soon the knockout round arrived as scheduled.

Little Katsina slowly walked onto the arena,

"You are Katsina, right? Before you came here, many people said that I had a good lot. I don't think so. There are no accidents in the arena. Those who can stand here cannot be as weak as the outside world says. Show your strength! The preliminary round ended before I had enough fun, I hope you won't let me down!" The cool Sigma man affirmed Katsina's strength.

"Okay, I'm done. Do you have anything to say?"

Katsina mustered up her courage and said, "I, I won't lose to you. There are many people cheering me on, and besides—I really want to participate in the Night Watchman War!"

As the exchange between the two sides ended, the power of phlogiston ignited in them.

....

Soon, Nkonga, who was also from the Echo Sons tribe, was defeated by Katsina's sky-high spin, and Katsina won this round!

Under Ying's guidance, Katsina was always able to find the enemy's flaws and counterattack quickly, winning many games.

Liliu, the God's Eye of Ice Element from the flowing spring, was also defeated by her.

Push the enemy formation with all your might, like the light of heaven breaking through the clouds!

[Klee: What an awesome car! Klee wants one too! Brother Albedo, can you make one for Klee?]

Albedo: The burning light should be Nata's phlogiston. I can try to activate it with elemental power.

[Klee: Hehe, this way Captain Jean won't be able to catch Klee, and Klee can go to Fontainebleau to fry fish.]

[Qin: ...You really have good intentions.]

Lisa: I finally see that Klee will have a hard time in the future. Ms. Alice will be away someday, and it will be hard for her to fall into Jean's hands when that happens.

[Chongyun: Why did I hear the voice of Big Sister Beidou? Could it be that she went to work at Nata?]

[Beidou: I am the element of lightning, she is ice, we will have a superconducting reaction]

Ningguang: Captain Beidou's theory of elemental reactions is quite good.

Yaejinko: Shh! Everyone at Inazuma is asleep, please go to bed early, all the night owls.

....

In the lounge

Katsina clenched her fists, her eyes revealing excitement, but her cat-like mouth soon turned into a pout, because her next opponent was her best friend - Malani!

"Traveler, Paimon, thank you for cheering me up." Katsina thanked them sincerely.

"We all saw it. You defeated many powerful opponents. It's amazing!" Paimon praised Katsina without hesitation and gave her a big thumbs up.

Just then, a girl in cool clothes ran over.

"Katsina, how are you doing? I got permission to come and see you before the game starts. Katsina, with your current points, if you win the last round, you will have a good chance to participate in the [Night Watch War]! And your opponent in the last round is me!" said Malani.

Paimon and Ying were shocked. Best friends were going to compete on the same stage?

Katsina nodded calmly. She also knew the news, but the thought of fighting with her best friend made her mood instantly depressed.

Marani encouraged, "Wake up! War is cruel, and the Abyss will not hold back. Only those who are currently the strongest are qualified to participate in the Night Watch War. Therefore, I will give it my all here, and I hope you will not hold back, Katsina. Giving victory to the other side is a form of mercy. We don't need such mercy, right? Are you ready?"

Katsina nodded, gathered herself together, raised her fist and bumped it with Malani, indicating that she would also give it her all.

Paimon was immediately confused and muttered, "One of Katsina and Malani is destined to lose. Who should I cheer for?"

Malani smiled and said, "It's safe to say that one of us is destined to win! Whoever it is is worth celebrating! No matter who wins, I'll be happy, and I believe Katsina will be the same. So don't feel any burden, just play happily."

"Traveler, Paimon, see you after the game. Katsina, I'll be waiting for you at the arena."

[Colai: This personality of Marani is also what I want to have]

[Amber: Has the demeanor of an old friend]

[Paimon: She and Xiao Gong will definitely get along well.]

【Funina: Angel of Nata】

[Young Master: Ahhh! Why didn't you send me to Nata? The people here speak so nicely and are all talented. It's like being home. I love it here so much.]

Walnut: From a temporary farewell to Dongdu, it has become a permanent farewell.

[Ice Queen: …]
