Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

Tatiana raised an eyebrow.

This person is quite eloquent.

The girl raised her head: "You flatter me."

"No, isn't this the time for chatting? Shouldn't we be thinking about how to get rid of these unkillable people?"

Ren's dagger embedded itself in the enemy's neck, and with a swift pull, the ordinary soldier fell to the ground, unable to get up.

There are nearly a hundred people here, and looking at the corpses on the ground... this second-in-command must have taken care of at least dozens of them. How did she do that?

"Oh right, I almost forgot, let me, the great one, do it..."

A muffled clap of thunder interrupted Yi Dou's words.

A deafening rumble of thunder echoed through the sky, and the flash of light from the rice paddies disappeared in an instant. They set off from the castle tower and headed straight for Kannazuka.

Dense lightning struck the ranks of soldiers, creating a chain reaction that bounced among the enemies, dispelling the black mist covering them.

"General Thunder?"

Tatiana immediately looked up and stared intently at the spot where the purple lightning had landed, her worries lingering in her heart.

But the next second, a warm hand landed on the girl's shoulder, and the voice sounded unusually anxious: "What happened? Tatiana, your injury..."

This was the last sound she heard. A wave of exhaustion and relief washed over her at the same time. Her heavy eyelids closed, and she collapsed into Qin Ye's arms.

“He is my benefactor…” Ichidou’s words were choked in his throat by the cold, merciless gaze.

Qin Ye put one arm around Tatiana, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"..."

The fierce and violent elemental power erupted instantly, and the soldiers who had been quietly lying on the ground, driven away by the power of the abyss, were reduced to ashes by the flames.

After a long time, the streets, littered with corpses, were completely devoid of even a speck of ashes.

(Author's note: There are still some follow-ups to Inazuma's story, as well as explanations of the plans. Then, before leaving, I will write a side story about a winter night prank, which is unrelated to the main plot and serves as preparation for the transition to winter.)

(And then there's Tatiana's Eye of the Gods. The reason for the Hydro attribute is because, after some consideration, I realized that Geo characters tend to have leadership qualities, approachability, or a sense of dependence. Hydro, on the other hand, represents someone who was lost and pondering in the past, but still remained determined to move forward. This corresponds to a personality that strengthens its resolve after self-doubt, and I wanted to emphasize this aspect of her relationship with Qin Ye.)

Chapter 119 You'd better wait!

Kujo Jinya

The Kaiji army was about to launch another offensive, disrupting the shogunate army's plans to repair the fortifications.

"Lord Coral Palace, why have you arranged the frequency of the attacks..." Goro's tone was somewhat hurried.

From the very beginning, the advantage of Brother Kamo Saburo fighting alone has been gradually diminishing, and it's no wonder that the enemy troops present are considered the elite of the Tenryo Magistrate.

Despite repeated setbacks from various external factors, morale has been maintained at a certain level.

Of course, it could also be because Inazuma Castle is right behind the other side.

Goro kept harassing the repairs to the fortifications with his bow and arrows. Seeing that the shogunate army was gradually getting a chance to catch their breath, he was extremely anxious.

"Don't worry, Goro."

Xin Hai held a small booklet, which recorded the losses from several battles and some information about the enemy.

"It will be over soon."

Logically speaking, the Fool and his group had been gone for a long time, and even if the plan was difficult to implement, the outcome should have been decided by now.

Whether he refuted Thor or Thor turned him to ashes...

"Man proposes, God disposes," so we can only leave it to fate.

Inside the Nine-Tails Formation.

Sara wrapped the wound on his arm with gauze, making sure it wouldn't affect his ability to draw the bow and give commands, then stood up from the camp and gripped the bow in his hand.

"General...how are your injuries?"

"It's alright, I was just careless and that Aranami Kamo Saburo took advantage of me."

Kujo Sara felt a little anxious. She didn't understand why that man would choose to cross the Jinya alone and head towards Inazuma Castle by himself.

Although the general is undoubtedly invincible, it is clearly a dereliction of duty of her to place such a small insect in front of him.

As a general of the shogunate army, she could not abandon her post without permission; her primary task was still to stop the attack of the sea monster army.

General Tengu, holding a bow and arrow, stood at the forefront of the battlefield, where he could clearly see the enemy general Goro and Sango Mikoto Shinkai, who was directing the soldiers.

If... the current human-god priestess is shot down here...

Although the methods used tarnished honor, but...

With that in mind, she tried to nock the bow, took a deep breath, and adjusted her mindset.

That's all.

A majestic voice came from the horizon.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it, and they looked up.

The woman wielding a naginata walked on air, approaching the battlefield step by step.

"General... General?!"

The shogunate soldiers all bowed respectfully, their fighting spirit reaching its peak instantly.

Conversely, the Sea God Army was suppressed by the heavy atmosphere.

Coral Palace remained unfazed by the sea's surface and silently walked to the forefront of the army formation.

Regardless of whether the plan succeeds or not, she is prepared to take full responsibility for this incident on her own.

Ying surveyed the battlefield with her gaze, then parted her lips slightly.

"Nine-layered robes."

"General! I'm here!"

"Reorganize your forces and prepare for withdrawal. You have performed outstandingly in this war and will be rewarded separately upon your return to Narugami Island."

"Yes!"

Although Sara was full of doubts, she believed that the general's decision would never be wrong.

"The living goddess priestess of Haiqi Island."

"General."

“I have reached an agreement with someone, but I have already allowed the people of the Coral Palace to perform sacrifices in the name of the Sea Goddess. You will have to pay the price for your actions in this incident.”

Ying left Xin Hai with a silhouette: "Reorganize your soldiers, and then come to Narukami Shrine to pay homage to me."

"Lord Coral Palace..."

Goro's expression was clearly full of worry, but he saw a relieved smile on Shinkai's face.

"It's okay, this time it's really over."

-

"Hey, Scaramucci, even if you're the sixth seat, if you try to go in and disturb your comrades at such a crucial moment, I'll do everything in my power to keep you out."

The young master and the scattered soldiers confronted each other outside the fireworks shop in Naganohara, neither willing to give way.

“My dear D'Artagnan, I never said I wanted to go in and disturb Dionysus, did I?”

"Then don't stand here and get in everyone's way..."

"Haha! I can go wherever I want, it's none of your business, you little fool's lackey."

Just as D'Artagnan was about to explode, he suddenly remembered the method his comrade had taught him for dealing with skirmishers, and reached up to pick at his ear: "Oh, anyway, you can't get in."

It seems my previous impression that he was smart wasn't wrong...

The stragglers curled their lip.

Columbia stood aside and did not participate at all; she simply sat in her chair and quietly plucked the strings.

inside the house.

Qin Ye sat on the edge of the bed, scooped up a mouthful of hot porridge, blew on it gently, and felt uneasy.

Oh no... I should have let Tadalia in so I could taste it. I haven't cooked in ages since I lost my sense of taste, and I can't even taste the flavor myself.

"It feels like it's been ages since I've had this much quiet time with Brother Qin Ye."

Tatiana sat on the bed, wanting to take the bowl from Qin Ye's hand, but he refused her firmly, leaving her no choice but to accept his care.

"Hmm... After becoming an executive officer, I can only keep running forward, with no chance or leisure to relax. I never thought that the most stressful and intense mission would end in the most leisurely time."

The man cautiously probed, "Try a sip...slowly, slowly, don't drink it directly, what if it tastes awful?"

The girl silently took a spoonful of porridge and swallowed it.

“Just like at the Fireplace House, no difference.” Tatiana seemed to be enjoying herself.

"..."

The ingredients are from different seasons, one from Shito and the other from Inazuma. How can they be the same?

“It’s not just the taste…” The girl shook her head: “I used to think that the distance between you and me had grown further and further, but now it seems that it has never changed.”

"...Why are you suddenly so sentimental? No matter how the world changes, you will always be my most important family member."

Taking advantage of the moment, Tatiana picked up the bowl from Qin Ye's hand and put it aside.

It feels a little strange to have someone else take care of me now...

She gripped Qin Ye's hand tightly, her face resolute.

"I will always be by your side from now on."

She picked up the Eye of God from her waist: "Moreover, I can better assist you in the future and continue to do my best as your maid."

Qin Ye didn't reply, but silently brushed aside the girl's hair, which had turned pure white, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

After a long silence, he sighed and said, "You've done very well. In my heart, no one is more suitable to be by my side than you. However, it's also important to take a break when necessary."

Tatiana smiled gently and nodded in response.
