Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

I'm a decent person. For some reason, my electric scooter goes exceptionally fast, but its brakes are really bad, which is why I got run over. It's not my fault; it's your reaction time that was too slow. (A metaphor, I think you understand.)

----text----

“My personal matters are not as important as Your Majesty’s great cause. There is no need for me to go to Mount Sumeru for the time being. I will follow Your Majesty’s next move.”

"Yes, as originally planned, you and [Doctor] will go to Inazuma to assist [Skirmisher] and [Lady] in seizing the Heart of God."

"I will follow Your Majesty's arrangements."

"The ship to Inazuma will arrive soon, you should head to the dock."

"Yes."

"My minister retire."

The two left the Winter Palace and headed to the dock.

The docks were as bustling as ever, with a large flow of people and numerous merchant ships loading and unloading cargo. It wasn't as cold as other parts of the Winter Country because it had a temperate monsoon climate. (This is mentioned in a junior high school geography textbook.)

Approaching them was a black-haired youth whose eyes had been replaced by machines, leading a squad of well-equipped Fool soldiers who saluted the two executive officers.

His tone was somewhat stiff: "Sir, you may board the ship now."

Chen Xi recognized the voice. Upon closer inspection, the black-haired youth's figure resembled someone else—Shangguan Yan. However, his expression was blank, as if he didn't recognize him.

Without even guessing, Chen Xi knew that he must have done something to it, perhaps altering Shangguan Yan's memories, or turning him into a machine that only obeyed orders. However, these things could not be confirmed here for the time being.

"Brother, let's board the ship." Chen Xi still pretended to know nothing, calling him "scholar" in an innocent tone, and took his hand.

"Ah."

The "scholar" seemed quite satisfied with Chen Xi's reaction and gave him a piece of rock candy. Chen Xi put it in his mouth and held it without any suspicion. He didn't care that the other party was just adding some medicine to it.

This time, the "scholar" didn't add drugs to the sugar; instead, he led Chen Xi to enjoy the scenery from the iron railings of the ship.

The ship had already started moving, its engine humming softly. (Since the Kingdom of Winter is technologically advanced and a major industrial power, it's normal for it to have engines.)

A refreshing sea breeze greets you, and the waves surge and churn, a unique welcoming ceremony from the ocean. The moment you step onto the deck, the sun leaps out from behind the clouds, and you gaze at the long coastline where the sea and sky merge into one seamless expanse.

As the boat accelerated, blue ripples swept past its side, creating white spray.

……

Has anyone ever told you that your eyes are beautiful? Like red agate.

"Really?"

The "scholar" removed his mask, losing some of the oppressive and sinister aura of an executive officer. A slight smile played on his lips, and he looked at Chen Xi with gentle red eyes.

"Hmm, she looks beautiful when she smiles! Especially without the mask, her smile is particularly deceptive!" Chen Xi thought to herself: A beauty! A beauty is smiling at me! I'm experiencing the joy of ancient emperors!

"Wouldn't that be lying to you?"

"It's different!" Chen Xi was completely captivated by his good looks. Although Dotole wasn't a good person, he was quite handsome, and the Winter Queen's preference was reassuring.

The "scholar," using his deceptive face, continued to coax the child (Chen Xi): "Little friend, would you like to follow the executive officer?"

Without a second thought, Chen Xi immediately agreed: "Yes, yes!"

The scholar chuckled lightly: "If you agree, you're mine."

"Mmm! I'm yours!" That damn face is totally my type, and with Wu Lei's voice acting, I love it so much.

……

"Have you seen enough?"

"No! He's so handsome! Scholar Brother is the most handsome person I've ever seen!" Chen Xi crawled under his big cloak, pressing herself against his body. The cloak made her feel incredibly safe.

The scholar put an arm around him and asked, "It's time to eat. We have bread and grilled fish, or would you like something else?"

Chen Xi put the crow's beak mask on his face and put it on: "We'll just eat bread and grilled fish. I'll take care of the water. Put on the scholar brother's mask first to increase the mystery."

The scholar understood his unspoken meaning: "My face is only for you to see."

Chen Xi nodded: "Mmm!" Beauty!

The two men each ordered a meal and ate at the same round table with their men. The soldiers were very nervous, as it was the first time they had ever eaten with two high-ranking executives.

Seeing that the two executives hadn't moved, the soldiers didn't dare to eat first, fearing they'd be blamed. The situation remained deadlocked for a long time. Seeing them all still in a daze, Chen Xi started eating without hesitation. The soldiers still hesitated, so Chen Xi stuffed a piece of bread into the "scholar's" mouth. Only then did the "scholar" chew and swallow, seemingly lost in thought. The soldiers only began eating after seeing that both executives had eaten.

"These two have such a good relationship," the soldier thought. He had never seen any executive officer so close to the "Doctor."

Chen Xi ate quickly, and then went to his old friend's place to get two more cups and a pot of water at just the right temperature, which he poured for himself and the "scholar".

"How many more days until we reach Inazuma?"

"It's quite far from Inazuma by winter, maybe three or four days away."

"so slow."

"I never lack patience; doing things to kill time makes the time pass quickly."

"Something to kill time? Sleep?" That's what Chen Xi, who was severely sleep-deprived, thought. Anyway, time seemed to fly by as soon as she woke up, and that was indeed the case.

In the past, I would often fall asleep while taking notes during lectures, and when I woke up, a different teacher would be lecturing.

The concept of time has faded at some point, and time seems to pass by incredibly quickly.

Does dreaming speed up the passage of time? I don't know.

Before coming to Teyvat, Chen Xi often dreamed when he slept on his desk at school, having five or six dreams in ten minutes between classes. However, he almost never dreamed at home. He didn't know what influenced him.

But when I woke up, my mind was a mess and my head hurt a lot.

After finishing his last bite of food, the "scholar" picked up his cup, drank some water, and after a short while, pulled Chen Xi to the deck outside the cabin.

"Huh? What are you doing here?"

"Let the wind blow on you to help you clear your head."

The ship was sailing at a reasonable speed, but the wind was a bit strong and there was a fishy smell. However, compared to the fishy smell on Ausel, this one was acceptable as it wasn't pungent.

Spending several hours in the wind with the "scholar" successfully caused Chen Xi to catch a cold.

The "scholar" said he wasn't worried at all. He had been a doctor in Sumeru before and had treated a few people, but now their remains were buried by the yellow sand.

----split line----

I examine my body three times a day.

Am I happy? No.

Am I tired? Yes.

Am I in a good mood? No, I want a vacation, I want to sleep.
