Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

After listening to Hunyuan and Tok sing the Winter Solstice nursery rhyme, Paimon felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but complain.

"Tong Yao is truly cruel, very much in the style of the Winter Kingdom... In that case, I'll just have to be her babysitter for a while... But where can I find her brother?"

After Paimon asked the question, Ying looked at Huiyuan, who had just sung a nursery rhyme with Tok, seeking an answer.

Without beating around the bush, Huiyuan said directly, "I know who Tok's brother is, and I know where he is."

"Huh? Does my sister know my brother?"

Looking at little Tok, so innocent and adorable with his wide-open eyes, Huiyuan's heart almost melted.

"Yes, my name is Lingling. I often buy toys from him. His name is Ajax, right? He often talks about you to me. He's a very caring older brother to his family."

When Tok saw that the older sister with very special eye color, Lingling, knew his brother, he was immediately happy.

"Wow, Sister Lingling actually knows my brother! What a coincidence! I know my brother too!"

Perhaps because he was so happy to run into his brother's friend, Tok's words became strange. Isn't it natural to know your brother?

...

The only place where they were most likely to encounter Datalia was the Northern Bank, so Huiyuan led everyone there.

The journey was smooth with almost no obstacles, and we arrived at our destination in no time.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw Ms. Ekaterina, a receptionist from the Northern Bank, talking to someone.

"This is inappropriate, Your Excellency, how could you..."

Before Ekaterina could finish speaking, the other person interrupted, "It's just once in a while, it's alright, it's alright!"

This executive officer, who isn't too strict with his subordinates, is none other than the well-known Tartaglia.

Paimon's mood immediately soured when he saw D'Artagnan.

"Huh? What's this person doing here..."

Upon hearing Paimon's words, Huiyuan couldn't help but retort, "Isn't it perfectly normal for him to be on Fatui's territory?"

"Yes, yes..."

Before Huiyuan could even go up and say hello, Tok couldn't contain his excitement and ran over.

"Brother! Brother, brother!"

It's normal that a child can't hear clearly or understand adult conversations from a height. Fortunately, D'Artagnan didn't hear Catherine address the young master as "Executor," thus avoiding revealing his identity.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Dadalia gasped, turned around, and excitedly hugged the little one who was running towards her.

"Ah, that voice is... Tok! Oh my god, it's Tok!"

D'Artagnan held Tok and spun him around four or five times before stopping.

The unexpected joy of reuniting with his family almost made D'Artagnan's heart leap into laughter.

"Hahaha... Is this the surprise you prepared for me, Tok? I thought I wouldn't see you until I returned to Winter... Your sister Donya, and brother Anton... How are they? Are they doing well?"

"They all miss you so much. Sister Donya prays every evening before dinner, praying for your brother's safety..."

Just as Tok was expressing his longing, the curious eavesdropper, Paimon, floated down from the ceiling and landed behind Tok.

Upon seeing Paimon's unmistakable presence, D'Artagnan snapped out of her joy at reuniting with her family and realized that something was amiss.

"...Wait, something's not right, Tok! How did you get to Liyue? I didn't receive any news..."

After D'Artagnan asked the question, Tok scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and began to explain.

"Um... I saw a boat that looked like it sold toys, and I thought my brother was on it... After getting off the boat, I walked and walked, and then I saw 'One-Eyed Little Treasure'! After seeing 'One-Eyed Little Treasure', I met a kind older sister, and also my brother's friend!"

Ying had already walked up to Paimon's side without anyone noticing.

Upon witnessing the scene of Tok and the young master's family reunion, Ying exclaimed in shock, "Tok is actually the young master's younger brother!"

After clarifying the situation, Paimon, who had initially had the idea of ​​"returning the money," completely abandoned that thought.

Silently putting the Mora bag into his pocket, Paimon said to Ying with a straight face, "Then it seems we can accept Tok's money with a clear conscience!"

A million worries flooded the young master's mind, and he couldn't concentrate on what Ying was saying. Thankfully, Tok was alright; otherwise, Tartaglia might have turned to the dark side.

After confirming that Tok was not injured, D'Artagnan said with lingering fear, "That was too dangerous, Tok. I was indeed very happy to see you, but promise your brother that you will never do such risky things again."

Seeing his brother's harsh tone, Tok guiltily looked away.

"Um... I understand, brother, please don't be angry with me..."

"Brother isn't angry, I'm just worried about you. If it weren't for running into someone your brother knows, Tok might have been in danger. Did you thank them properly?"

"Hmm! Tok is very polite."

Seeing that the other party had finally noticed him, Paimon crossed his arms and said with dissatisfaction, "So you've finally noticed us, 'Young Master' brother?"

Paimon used that name, and D'Artagnan felt a little embarrassed and awkwardly apologized.

"Uh... Hahaha, I'm really sorry. Communicating with family should always be the top priority, so please understand. Also, although we've had some disagreements before, putting aside those issues of stance...aren't we getting along quite well?"

Seeing that the young master had put the previous matter behind him, Ying put her hands on her hips and started to complain.

"Isn't that just polite talk?"

The young master turned around profoundly and said, “Regarding ‘that matter,’ we are all merely pawns. As for the outcome of the game and the task of cleaning up the board… let those who played the game do the rest. What I truly care about is only the outcome of that battle between us.”

Paimon put his hands on his hips and started to provoke them.

"What, do you want to lose again?"

Hearing Paimon's mockery, the young master lowered his voice, raised his aura, and glared at Ying and Paimon with surging fighting spirit.

"Ha, I am Tartaglia, who gets stronger every second. Next time, be prepared for a tough battle."

Paimon was startled and stepped back, while Ying was so intimidated by the aura that she was already preparing to draw her sword.

In order not to be completely overwhelmed in terms of momentum, Ying also made some harsh remarks.

"I am not the same person I was back then."
