Genshin Impact: My roommate and I became funny Hilichurls

"Shut up, Lord Sea King!"

Zhang Chu walked up from behind, carrying his thunder hammer, and smashed it down at Er Kang's feet, splashing dirt all over the face of this chuunibyou (delusional) hillbilly.

"If you keep doing this, I'm going to summon the fury of thunder and give you a taste of 'electrotherapy'."

Gu Qian squatted down, his big, bulbous eyes blinking: "I wonder how Mona is doing. Her back injury should be almost healed by now."

"Everything should be alright now, Wolf King."

Zhang Chu shouted, a helpless expression appearing beneath his mask.

An elegant voice rang out, and a three-meter-tall white werewolf emerged from the forest.

"Tell Raiden and the others that we're leaving."

The wolf king bowed slightly: "Understood."

His eyes suddenly shot out blue light, projecting a picture in the air of Raiden actually working in the castle tower.

Raiden Shin looked up and saw the projection in front of him; he was already used to it.

"Hmm? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Raiden put down his pen and asked with a smile.

"Miss Zhen, we're leaving!"

Paimon flew forward and shouted to Raiden.

"Really? I understand. I'll tell Lei and the others."

Raiden nodded.

She wasn't surprised by this, after all, they were travelers and couldn't stay in Inazuma forever.

"Goodbye."

After everyone said goodbye, the wolf king's body began to transform.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed from an elegant werewolf butler into a twenty-meter-tall silver-white Gundam.

"Boarding, esteemed masters."

The Wolf King's voice came from the Gundam's speakers, still maintaining its butler-like elegant tone.

Gundam kneels on one knee, with his palm flat on the ground as a boarding platform.

Just as everyone was preparing to take off, a shout suddenly came from afar: "Wait a minute!"

Xiaogong came running up, panting, followed by Lei Yingdian and Yae Shinko.

"Fortunately, I caught up!"

Xiao Gong was holding several specially made fireworks.

"This is a farewell gift for you! It can bloom into a dancing Hilichurl pattern anywhere!"

Lei Film, expressionless, handed over a scroll: "This is a pass and certificate... though you may not need it."

Yae no Miko then handed each person a protective charm with a smile: "Inside are my specially made 'anti-chuunibyou' charms, especially for that 'Sea Emperor'."

She glanced meaningfully at Er Kang, who had just gotten up from the ground.

"Thank you! We'll come to Inazuma when we have time!"

Qingyu, representing the team, shouted, then turned to the Wolf King.

"Let's go, Mondstadt!"

The Wolf King Gundam initiated its takeoff procedure, and its energy wings emitted blue flames.

Ying rested her chin on her hand in the driver's seat, watching the scenery below Inazuma gradually shrink.

Paimon counted the gifts he received: "Fireworks, documents, amulets...wait, why is there an extra one?"

Gu Qian scratched his head sheepishly: "Um... I accidentally broke off a piece of the roof of the castle tower as a souvenir..."

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, the Wolf King Gundam streaked across the sky, flying towards the city of Mondstadt, leaving behind a blue trail and the helpless laughter of Inazuma's friends.

Chapter 55 Mondstadt, Take Care

When the Wolf King's massive steel body crashed down in front of Mondstadt's gates, the ground trembled three times.

Pigeons on the city gate took flight en masse, fish in the moat jumped out of the water in fright, and the eyes of the two Knights of Favonius guarding the city gate—Lawrence and Swann—were already dead.

"here we go again……"

Lawrence's hand was on the hilt of the sword, but he showed no intention of pulling it out.

Swan mechanically flipped through the register: "Name?"

"Qingyu/Erkang/Zhang Chu/Gu Qian!"

The four Hilichurls answered in unison, with Gu Qian's voice booming like thunder, causing dust to fall from the city gate.

The Wolf King gracefully transformed back into his three-meter-tall werewolf form, took the register, and elegantly signed it with his paws: "Also, Traveler Ying and Paimon, and below, the Sirius form of the Emperor of Barbatos."

Swan watched as the twenty-meter-tall Gundam transformed into a werewolf, his lips twitching as he wrote: "A werewolf that can transform... one."

After watching the group noisily enter the city, Lawrence slumped into his chair: "How many good nights do you think we'll be able to get any sleep after they arrive?"

"Still sleeping..."

Swann's eyes were vacant.

"As long as they survive... Do you know what they did in Inazuma?"

"The news has spread throughout Teyvat, except for Nata—there's a war going on there, so the news travels slowly."

Lawrence pulled out a copy of the *Steambird News*, the front page headline of which read: "Shocking! Four Hilichurls Changed the History of Inazuma!"

The newspaper detailed the quartet's "feat": they used some kind of ability to create a set of chess pieces that could transform into corresponding creatures and obey their commands.

Using only Hilichurl chess pieces, he nearly wiped out the Shogunate army and the resistance, and then used an even more outrageous ability to resurrect all the dead, forcing both sides to negotiate peace.

"This isn't over yet."

Swan lowered his voice.

"I heard that they later beat up the Thunder General, and the next day the Eye Hunting Order and the Seclusion Order were abolished, and two more Thunder Generals were added."

Lawrence turned to the second page of the newspaper: "The Winter Queen issued an order overnight, forbidding the Fools from making enemies of the four, and specifically named 'Doctor' Daughtore."

The two sighed simultaneously and looked into the city—where the first explosion and Captain Kaeya's loud laughter had already been heard.

Meanwhile, the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius was in complete chaos.

"Quickly! Lock up all the valuable books in the library!"

Lisa directed several knights to move the books.

"Especially that 'Teyvat Travel Guide'!"

The leader of the troupe rubbed his temples: "Kaiya, you're in charge of monitoring them... no, accompanying them."

"It would be my great honor!"

Kaiya twirled the coin in her hand.

"I suggest preparing plenty of cider, since that 'Sea King' will start performing his 'Conquering the Abyss' act after just three cups."

He had drunk with Er Kang and knew his alcohol tolerance; all I can say is, he's a real piece of trash.

Amber, standing nearby, asked worriedly, "Should we protect the Wind God statue first?"

Before he could finish speaking, a loud "boom" came from afar, followed by Gu Qian's panicked voice: "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to touch the wind god statue's hand! It fell down by itself!"

Jean's face turned deathly pale: "Barbara...prepare healing prayers...lots and lots of healing prayers..."

Meanwhile, inside the Angel's Gift tavern, Wendy was tuning his harp.

Bartender Charles's expression was grave: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Wendy blinked.

“I composed ‘Chuchu Rhapsody’ especially for them, and also prepared a special cider—with one-third water added.”

He lowered his voice mysteriously.

"After all, if that 'Sea King' gets drunk, he might actually summon a tsunami to flood Mondstadt."

Diluc wiped his wine glass and said coldly, "Hopefully they'll behave themselves this time. If not, send them out into the wilderness. There are more and more abyss mages around lately..."

Just then, the tavern door was suddenly pushed open, and Er Kang stood at the door in an exaggerated pose: "Citizens of Mondstadt! Your wind god... Awooo!"

Zhang Chu slammed him into the floor with a hammer: "Shut up!"

Then he explained to the stunned crowd in the tavern.

"Don't mind him, he got his head pinched by a crab."

Qingyu skipped over to the bar: "Wendy! Play us a few songs! Three bottles of wine as payment!"

Gu Qian cautiously crouched in the center of the tavern—his head was practically touching the ceiling—and whispered, "Um... do you know where Mona is? I want to see her..."

Paimon floated in the air, counting on his fingers: "One explosion, one damaged wind god statue, one broken tavern door... and we've only been in the city for ten minutes!"

Ying had given up on treatment and found a corner to quietly drink grape juice.

The Wolf King elegantly ordered from Charles: "Please give me a cup of black tea with two lemon slices. We will fully compensate my masters for any losses they have caused."

Charles looked at the entire wine rack that Gu Qian had accidentally knocked over, then at the money bag full of Mora that the Wolf King handed him—the money bag even had General Thunder's autograph on it—and took it with trembling hands.

Outside the city, Lawrence and Swann listened to the commotion inside and simultaneously pulled out their earplugs.

"I bet five moras that they'll tear down the bell tower of the Cathedral of the West tonight."

Swan shook his head: "I bet ten Mora they'll 'improve' the moat first, just like they did in Inazuma they dyed the hair of the Thunder God statue rainbow-colored."

The two exchanged a glance and sighed simultaneously: "Mond, take care."

Chapter 56 Mondstadt's Daily Mischief

Zhang Chu stood in front of the Goethe Apartments in Mondstadt, stroking his chin as he examined the luxurious apartment building shrouded in a light blue barrier.
