The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [449]

The aftermath of Schubert’s actions gradually faded away.

Though plenty of people who already disliked the Lawrence family remained unhappy about what happened, with the assurance of the Knights of Favonius’ two Honorary Knights, Schubert—who had handed over a fake city defense map—was ultimately released back to the Lawrence estate.

As for Eula, she had, in every sense, become both a friend and a rival to Jia Changjiang and Lumine.

Incidentally…

Jia Changjiang and Eula’s official introduction happened after Acting Grand Master Jean finished handling Schubert’s case and told Eula all about what Jia Changjiang had done.

Only then did Eula learn that her uncle, after getting beaten up by Lumine that day, had also been thoroughly scolded by Jia Changjiang.

She had to admit… he’d earned that scolding.

Afterward, Jia Changjiang and Lumine began helping the Knights with various internal affairs.

It made sense—the Honorary Knights lending a hand with the workload…

After all, the Knights did give them both a salary now.

Originally, Honorary Knights weren’t supposed to receive pay, but Jean, seeing how much they’d done for Mondstadt, decided to make them officially salaried members of the Knights of Favonius.

With the efforts of Jia Changjiang, Lumine, and the many other Knights, all the major tasks were finally wrapped up.

Only a few light, easy jobs remained.

And so, summer officially arrived in Teyvat.

“Ugh… so hot…”

Lumine slumped over the table outside Good Hunter, staring at the sun-soaked streets that looked like they were steaming. “Is Mondstadt’s summer always this hot?”

Collapsed on the table, she groaned. Eula, sitting beside her, remarked, “I don’t really feel it’s that hot.”

“That’s because you have a Cryo Vision, Eula,” Amber added, just as collapsed.

She, on the other hand, had a Pyro Vision.

Even heading out of the city on patrol—using her Vision just made her feel even hotter under the blast of Pyro energy.

“Paimon… Paimon can’t take it anymore…”

Paimon was even worse off than Lumine, sprawled flat on the table, looking for all the world like another dish set out for lunch.

“Honestly…” Eula reached out with her Cryo Vision, gathering a swirl of icy air and cooling Paimon down. “Better now, little one?”

“So cool…” Paimon sighed in bliss.

“Eula, me too!”

Lumine, seeing this, wasted no time before throwing herself at Eula.

“Right?! Every summer I get so jealous of Cryo Visions…” Amber joined from the other side, hugging Eula as well.

So Eula, with Paimon in the middle and friends on both sides, was surrounded in a very enviable way.

Meanwhile, across from this scene of girls huddled together, Jia Changjiang sat quietly eating his meal.

Sure, he was hot too—but what could he do?

There was such a thing as propriety between men and women. He couldn’t just go and hug Eula, could he?

Even if, he had to admit, Eula’s figure really was impressive.

Jia Changjiang stroked his chin.

She clearly works out a lot—strong, good physique, she’d be great in a fight…

But right now, it really was hot. If only there were something else cool to enjoy…

Just as Jia Changjiang was thinking this, he caught sight of a familiar silhouette out of the corner of his eye.

“Well, well! Isn’t that Jax and Lumine? Amber and Eula too?” Kaeya approached with a wide grin. “You’re all here for lunch?”

Kaeya greeted them as if nothing was unusual—completely unaware that the moment Jia Changjiang saw him, he immediately sprang into action.

“Kaeya!”

Jia Changjiang strode up, arms open wide, beaming. “My dear brother! I’ve been waiting for you!”

“Come on! Give me a big, warm, friendly hug!!”

Kaeya’s smile faltered, then outright froze as he realized what was coming—but before he could escape, Jia Changjiang, moving even faster, had already caught him in a bear hug.

…

In the end, all that hugging and fussing eventually settled down.

Kaeya and Eula, both with Cryo Visions, resigned themselves to making ice-cold drinks for everyone, finally helping the overheated group cool off.

“So, is there anything left for the Knights to do lately?” Jia Changjiang asked.

“Nothing at all. It’s so peaceful I’m starting to think about taking a vacation,” Kaeya shrugged. “In fact, I just found a great bottle of wine and was planning to share it with Diluc…”

“But isn’t Master Diluc not a fan of drinking?” Paimon asked curiously.

“True, but I love drinking,” Kaeya replied, perfectly self-assured. “Besides, drinking in front of him and sharing my happiness—well, that’s a kind of sharing too!”

“That’s so you!” Lumine gave him a thumbs-up.

“Hmph. Kaeya’s definitely up to something again,” Amber grumbled.

“A vacation… For summer vacation, you really need to have something icy…” Jia Changjiang mused. “Sitting in an air-conditioned room, wrapped in a thick blanket, eating popsicles and hotpot… That’s pure bliss…”

“Air conditioning?” Amber tilted her head. “What’s that?”

“A cooling machine, basically… It blows cold air,” Lumine explained, quick on the uptake. “It does sound pretty nice.”

“Paimon just feels like… that combination would give you a stomachache…” Paimon muttered quietly.

“Summer! We should totally go to the beach!” Lumine declared. “A vacation by the sea! You can swim, and see people in swimsu—cough, cough, anyway, the beach is so much fun!”

“The beach…” Jia Changjiang stroked his chin.

Honestly, his homeland was vast, but coastline was pretty rare compared to the landmass. As someone from deep inland, he’d only ever seen the sea two or three times…

The main thing he remembered was just how salty seawater really was.

So, chatting like this, their meal came to an end.

Kaeya went off to find Diluc—so he could drink in front of him.

Amber and Eula went off to handle some tasks.

And Jia Changjiang and Lumine headed for the Knights’ headquarters.

Just as they entered the main hall, they saw Klee standing uncertainly in front of the confinement room.

“Klee! Long time no see!” Paimon waved happily.

“Ah!”

Klee perked up, spotting Jia Changjiang, Lumine, and Paimon. “It’s Honorary Knight Uncle, Honorary Knight Sis, and little Paimon!”
