Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Seeing the two men on the verge of exchanging blows, Huiyuan stepped in between them, blocking their glaring eyes.

"You're all my friends, can you please stop thinking about fighting all the time?"

Upon hearing the word "fight," Tok became worried.

"Fighting? Don't the older brother and the kind older sister get along?"

Seeing Tok's worried expression, D'Artaglia, whose heart almost jumped out of her chest, quickly explained, "No, no, how could that be? Miss Ying, please allow me to formally thank you for escorting my brother. His safety is really important to me."

Seeing that the young master's attitude was indeed sincere, Ying nodded to show her understanding.

"I understand your concern for your family."

After the gunpowder smell dissipated, Paimon looked at Tok and suddenly remembered a sentence that Tok had said when they first met, a sentence that Huiyuan had also confirmed.

"Speaking of which... I suddenly remembered something... Tok said, what's this about your brother being a 'toy salesman'? You're not an executor of the Human Clan..."

Before Paimon could finish speaking, D'Artagnan hurriedly interrupted, "Ahem... um... ah~! You mean that..."

(Oh no, I need to think of a reason to get out of this quickly; I can't let the travelers reveal that I'm the executive officer.)

Slightly rubbing his forehead, Tadalia slowly leaned close to Yingmei's ear and whispered something.

"Shh...because in a child's eyes, selling toys is the most enviable job, right?"

D'Artagnan's eyes would occasionally glance at her younger brother, showing that she genuinely cared about her family, so Ying didn't become wary of the young master's overly close behavior.

Paimon quietly joined in, and D'Artagnan continued, "Furthermore, I don't want my family to be exposed to the...or rather, the...dark side of the Fatui...or rather, the Winterlands. Although my older siblings already know that I serve Her Majesty the Queen, in my youngest brother's eyes..."

Before D'Artagnan could finish speaking, he noticed a growing suspicion creeping onto Tok's face.

He coughed twice quickly, then turned to face Tok, raised his right fist high, and struck a heroic pose.

"Ahem, I'm still the best toy salesperson dispatched in Winterfall, temporarily assigned to the 'Toy Research Institute' of the Liyue branch!"

Seeing his handsome older brother return, Tok also started showing off his brother.

"That's right, my brother is amazing! He's 'One-Eyed Little Treasure's' best friend!"

Seeing that his younger brother did not suspect anything, the young master put his mouth close to Ying's ear again and pleaded in a low voice.

"Please cooperate with me on this matter in front of Tok, please, please..."

After Yingwei nodded in agreement, Dadalia turned around and looked at her subordinate who had been left waiting for ages.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Ekaterina, I'm about to set off now to collect the money."

"But we were just saying, 'Sir, could you please handle the debts...?' This is really a bit..."

This Miss Catherine was very clever. She did not address D'Artagnan as "Prince" directly in front of Tok, but instead used grammar to subtly convey the message, making D'Artagnan, or rather Ajax, appear as the "Prince's" subordinate.

"A bet's a bet, right? Since I lost the bet to that 'debt handler,' I might as well stretch my muscles a bit."

D'Artagnan's answer was quite clever. As a subordinate of the "Prince," it was perfectly reasonable for him to make a bet with the "Debt Settler" and lose. He didn't lose the bet as an executive officer, but as the "Prince's" subordinate, which allowed him to regain some face in front of Catherine and also reinforced his status as a toy salesman in front of Tok.

However, there was something strange about the way Huiyuan looked at the young master.

(Wait, D'Artagnan, what did you say? You, a high-ranking executive, lost a bet to a "debt settlor"?! Is that reasonable? Is that appropriate?! And you expect a high-ranking executive to swallow his pride and fulfill the bet? Is there no justice? No law at all?!)

Just as D'Artagnan noticed Huiyuan's gaze and felt a little embarrassed but couldn't bring herself to refuse, Tok's voice came over.

"Is my brother going to sell toys?"

As soon as Tok opened his mouth, D'Artagnan's attention was completely drawn to him, and she forgot her embarrassment the next second.

“That’s right. Although your brother would also like to spend time with Tok, he has to work. Why don’t you let the sister who brought you keep you company?”

Hearing this, Paimon frowned and looked at D'Artagnan, saying, "Do you still want us to be your babysitters?!"

Ying also held her head, feeling a headache coming on.

Dealing with kids is exhausting...

But before Ying and Paimon could refuse, Tok's innocent, soft, and endearing voice, which made people want to spoil him rotten, came over.

"Yes! Tok likes being with kind older sisters, and we even pinky swore to take care of Tok!"

Seeing that the situation was very favorable, D'Artagnan imitated Tok's tone and repeated what Tok had said.

"Yes, Tok likes being with you, and you two pinky swore to take care of Tok."

Ying was completely unable to resist the human cub's coquettish tone, and even less able to resist the cub's older brother's imitation of the coquettish tone. Before long, she gave in and surrendered.

"What kind of brotherly offensive is this...?"

Seeing that Ying did not refuse, D'Artagnan took out a large bag of Mora and handed it to her.

"Thank you for your trouble. Here's the money for you; consider it working funds. Please take Tok around Liyue as you like. If you encounter any unforeseen circumstances, come find me by the river near Qingxu. See you later!"

After D'Artagnan reluctantly said goodbye to his brother, Paimon hugged the Mora bag in his arms with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.

The sad thing is, you don't know how long you'll have to deal with children you can't handle.

The good thing is that there's money to be made... oh wait, it should be because Tok is a very cute child, and his smile is heartwarming.

Just as Paimon's emotions were churning, Tok's expectant gaze and soft, sweet voice came over.

"Where should we go first? Where should we go?"

Looking at Tok's innocent and kind expression, Paimon tentatively suggested, "How about... we go browse the toy stalls first?"

As the "latest smart balloon toy," Paimon suggested going to the toy stall... Hmm... quite intriguing!

Following the place in my memory where I bought kites with Zhongli, I soon arrived at Grandma Ashan's toy stall.

Looking at the dazzling array of toys in front of him, Tok instantly became excited.

"Huh? What are those winged, colorful things...?"
