Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat

(Early morning, Knights Headquarters)

"Alas, the idle days are gone~" Kaiya sighed while sitting in Pingchang Qin's seat and doing Pingchang Qin's work in the head's office, but the speed of reviewing documents did not slow down at all. "But, forget it, after all... we still have to give the newlyweds more time."

"Haha, so during this period of time, sister, I will help you and Qin Lai to take care of the affairs of the Knights." Lisa beside her smiled softly and moved a pile of new documents and commissions to the desk. "Anyway, sister, I am no longer afraid of working overtime now."

"Haha, this is all thanks to Mr. Uzumaki." At this point, Kaia's hand holding the document suddenly paused, "Wait... Speaking of which, Mr. Uzumaki, Mr. Senju, the Traveler, and Paimon, are they going to leave Mondstadt today?"

"Yes..." Lisa lowered her head slightly. "The two powerful men who have been protecting Mondstadt all this time, and the blond traveler who stepped forward when Mondstadt was in danger, are leaving soon..."

"Didn't you always tell Jean that Mond can't just rely on them, but must become strong on its own? Why is it that now that they are leaving, I feel that you are more melancholy than me?" Kaia looked at Lisa strangely and asked.

"Oh, although Qin and I did say so and thought so..." Lisa waved her hand, "But when there is a thigh hug, how can someone who particularly likes this feeling let the thigh leave without even a little nostalgia?"

“Uh… well, you’re right.” Although Kaiya was a little speechless, he had to admit that Lisa’s words did make sense, “Now that you mention it, I feel the same way.

Actually, I am the same as you. Without the help of Mr. Uzumaki and Mr. Senju, you can't solve your physical problem, and Diluk and I can't see our father again. "

"Yes." Lisa nodded, "With such a strong and kind umbrella of protection, especially when they have done us a favor, who wouldn't want them to stay with us forever?

Unfortunately, if we stay in a hotbed, we will not grow. After receiving so much kindness from them, we should make our own choices and actions, and grow in our own way, so as to repay them as much as possible and let them see our due value. "

"Yes, it's time." Kaiya replied while continuing to review the documents. "If Mond's current problems, big and small, had not been basically solved, I would have wanted to personally represent Mond and prove myself."

"Haha, didn't you just say you wanted to live a leisurely life?"

"One thing is another thing!"

(Noon, near the Adventurer's Association)

"Mr. Senju, are you really leaving?" At the intersection, Bennett held onto one of Hashirama's hands, his face full of reluctance, "I still want to continue to go on adventures with you..."

After learning that Hashirama was leaving, Bennett immediately dropped everything he was doing and rushed over to say goodbye to Hashirama. If Fischl hadn't left yesterday to take an investigation mission assigned by the association and hadn't returned to Mondstadt yet, Bennett would have brought Fischl with him.

Since teaming up with Hashirama, Bennett has never suffered from bad luck again. He has basically made a lot of money every time he goes out on an adventure, and has never encountered any difficult crises or dangers. Bennett, who is well aware of his unlucky constitution, naturally attributes all the credit to Hashirama, who is both powerful and able to ignore his bad luck.

Now, upon hearing that his "lucky partner" is leaving, Bennett, who has already tasted the sweetness, is of course reluctant to let him go.

"I'm sorry, Bennett. Although I really want to continue adventuring with you, after all, I think you are a very good guy, but I still have a long way to go and a lot of things to do." Hashirama said to Bennett cheerfully but apologetically, "Menma and I have stayed in Mondstadt long enough. It's time to set off."

"...Is that so?" Although Bennett already knew that Hashirama would give this answer, he still felt a little disappointed after hearing it with his own ears.

But soon, after some inner struggle, he accepted this because he was optimistic by nature. Think about it, it would just be a return to the bad luck in the past. He had survived all these years, and he couldn't completely forget his past just because he had tasted a little sweetness brought by others.

"It's okay, Mr. Senju. Your own business is more important." After coming to his senses, the gloom on Bennett's face disappeared, and he showed his warm smile again. "Although I am the only one left in Benny's adventure group again, my adventure will not end because of this, just like your journey with Mr. Uzumaki will not end."

"I feel relieved when you say that." Hashirama patted Bennett's shoulder. "We are not going to never come back. If we have time, we will still go back to Mondstadt to see everyone. When that time comes, I will go on adventures with you again."

"Great!" Upon hearing this, Bennett cheered loudly, "Then I'll wait for you to come back, Mr. Qianshou. There will always be a place for you in Benny's Adventure Group!"

"Well, wait until I come back."

"Take care on your journey!"

"No problem, take care of yourself too!"

(near the Deer Hunter restaurant)

The situation was similar to that of Hashirama. On the other side, Menma was also saying goodbye to everyone in Mondstadt.

Because Diluc and Jean, the newlywed couple, stayed up so late yesterday that they didn't get out of bed until the next day at noon, so Menma and Hashirama chose to set off after lunch. It was Menma's decision that gave them time to come and say goodbye to him.

"Take care on your journey, Mr. Uzumaki," Diluk said to Ma. "We will never forget your kindness to us and Mondstadt. If there is anything you need from us in the future, just let me know. I will use the connections of Dawn Winery and Mondstadt Chamber of Commerce to do my best to help you."

"It's the same for me. After all, you gave me this life that I don't know if it can be considered a life." Klips smiled and continued Diluk's words, "I still have some say in the winery and the Chamber of Commerce. I will also come to help when the time comes."

"And me, and everyone in the Knights." Qin also said, "You, Mr. Senju, the Honor Knights, and Paimon are all Mondstadt's eternal friends. Since you have helped us so much, we will also repay you to the best of our ability when you need it."

"Thank you all." Menma expressed his sincerest gratitude to everyone. "I feel your kindness. Don't worry, everyone in Mondstadt will always be our friend. We will come back to visit you from time to time.

Also, if anything ever requires us to come back urgently, use this."

After saying that, Menma took out three kunai from his body and handed them to the three people in front of him.

"What is this?" Seeing that it looked very much like the weapon that Mr. Uzumaki usually used, but there was a circle of strange talisman paper wrapped around the handle, Qin raised her head and asked with some confusion.

"When you need to find me, tear off the talisman on the handle of the kunai." Menma began to explain the uses of the three kunai, "If I have nothing to do at the time, I will appear in front of you the next moment.

Don't worry, this is not some precious limited edition item, so if you need anything big or small, you can use it directly."

“Can it allow you to reach us instantly?” Hearing this, Diluk looked at the kunai in surprise. “In other words, this thing…is similar to the function of a pocket anchor?”

Although there are a large number of teleportation anchors on the continent of Teyvat, the only person known to use it is the Traveler. Even Paimon can only be teleported when he is connected to Sora. Although people later invented the "pocket anchor" based on the characteristics of the earth vein nodes, even so, this thing is only available to the holder of the Eye of God and is still ineffective for ordinary people.

"You can understand it that way." Menma nodded, "But there is one thing, that is, the essence of it that allows me to teleport is the technique I engraved on it, not the kunai itself."

That's right, this ability is the Flying Thunder God Technique. During this period, Menma and Hashirama never gave up on their training. As long as they had time, they would continue to practice in the direction they wanted to develop, especially in ninjutsu.

By now, Hashirama had finally perfected his transformed ninjutsu with the modified ranking technique as the core and modified by various wood and earth escape techniques; and Menma, while strengthening his proficiency in various ninjutsu and physical techniques, had initially comprehended the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Although the Flying Thunder God that Menma mastered was still very immature and could not be used well in actual combat and could only be used for less urgent long-distance transmission, it was enough for now.

“Ritual… I see.” Diluk nodded. “This method is actually a skill you have mastered, and you use the kunai and ritual as a medium to perform it?”

“That’s about it.” Menma gave a positive response to Diluk’s analysis.

"Even so, it's hard to imagine." Klips said with emotion, "From what I know, most of the characters with similar abilities seem to be from the Fatui or the Abyss, and their strength and status are not low.

Of course, if it were you, I wouldn't be surprised if you had this ability."

"Yes." Qin agreed, "After all, in terms of ability and means, it is no exaggeration to say that you and Mr. Qianshou are walking treasure houses for us."

"Haha, I'm glad to be valued by you guys." Menma smiled, "Well, after staying in Mondstadt for so long, it's time for us to set off. Like I said just now, if you need anything, use this kunai to contact me."

"Yes, I remember that." Qin nodded solemnly, and then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Mr. Uzumaki, there is one more thing--"

As she spoke, Qin took out a letter from her body and handed it to Menma.

"This is a letter that Mr. Albedo, the chief alchemist of our Knights of Favonius, left for you." Jean explained, "According to him, there were some things he wanted to discuss with you in person, but unfortunately he was busy with other things, so after the banquet he had to leave in a hurry with his assistant Miss Sugar.

Before leaving, he handed me this letter and asked me to pass it on to you. "

"Oh? Mr. Albedo..." Menma thought for a moment, then took the letter, "Thank you very much. Regarding this matter, I will go to Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain to find him by myself in the future. It just so happens that I also have something I want to discuss with him."

"That's good." Hearing that, Qin felt relieved. "Then... I wish you and Mr. Senju a safe journey on the rest of your journey, Mr. Uzumaki. The wind of Mond will accompany you all."

"Take care." Diluk also said goodbye to Menma.

"Remember to come back to Mondstadt more often if you have time." Cripps smiled and waved his hand.

"Thank you, everyone." Menma nodded, shook hands with the three of them, and then turned around and left, heading towards the Adventurer's Association to find Hashirama, "Take care of yourself, too."
