[Chongyun: Pfft-]
[Keqing: Pfft-]
[Yanfei: Pfft-]
[Ningguang: Very nice. It suits him well, and there's even a long wig. Is that padding on his chest? This has real commercial potential.]
[Yun Jin: Xingqiu, those movements are very professional. Could you teach me sometime?]
Countless viewers burst out laughing.
Those in Liyue City could even watch the spectacle in person.
[Xingqiu: Someone save me! I can't go on like this! My body is moving on its own! I was wrong! I'll never resist again!]
For ten minutes, the live feed followed him to the docks, where countless people gathered to watch.
"I'm Xingqiu!"
"I'm Xingqiu!"
"I'm Xingqiu!"
He even had to shout it at the top of his lungs.
Countless people clutched their stomachs as they laughed. "Thank goodness we're in the regular livestream room. Is this how awful things get in the Elite Livestream Room?"
[Yanfei: I doubt Xingqiu can face anyone now.]
[Chongyun: Can I just say that Xingqiu's parents are laughing their heads off right now?]
[Hu Tao: Xingqiu, would you like to book the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's services? Eat well, drink well, and have a pleasant journey to the afterlife! We'll handle everything at your doorstep and see you off personally.]
[Zhongli: As expected of our director, always promoting her services. Still, should Xingqiu accept, he does look rather fetching dressed as a woman. Without the livestream or meeting him in person, it would be difficult to tell.]
[Yae Miko: How about letting your big sister think of a solution for you? Being a woman isn't so bad.]
[Kaeya: Xingqiu, that outfit really suits you. With your fair complexion and long, slender legs, anyone who didn't know would have a hard time telling.]
Xingqiu's face was so red it was practically steaming. The instant his punishment ended, he let out a loud "Aah!" and dashed back to where he had changed clothes.
[Xingqiu: I can never face anyone again!]
[Arataki Itto: Cross-Dressing Master!]
[Kaeya: Cross-Dressing Master!]
[Chongyun: Cross-Dressing Master!]
[Keqing: Cross-Dressing Master!]
[Ganyu: Keqing, why did you join in too?]
[Keqing: Did I? I clicked too fast.]
Ding-please continue answering the question. You have thirty seconds to think.
The answers had been narrowed down to three choices.
But after watching Xingqiu's livestream, with so many others still undergoing physical punishment, people hesitated.
Some no longer dared to buzz in.
[Jean: Thankfully, those of us in Mondstadt don't have to answer for now.]
[Kamisato Ayaka: Perhaps next time, Inazuma will be exempt from answering.]
[Shenhe: There's going to be a next time? I don't want to wear... men's clothes.]
[Beidou: Haha, wearing men's clothes hardly counts as punishment for us!]
Countdown: three, two, one. Please buzz in. Ding-Kamisato Ayaka has won the chance to answer.
[Kamisato Ayato: Nice reflexes, little sister.]
[Thoma: You can do it, my lady!]
With three choices remaining, many people grew nervous.
Three people in Liyue and Inazuma had already received Mora. This time, they quietly put their Mora away, while others began heading outside for their physical punishment.
Kamisato Ayaka opened her folding fan.
[Kamisato Ayaka: I choose option four, none of them. Pausing deliberately after Miss Margaret spoke made this answer misleading. Mr. Charles, the bartender, does indeed seem like the best choice.]
[Xingqiu was crying.]
[Kamisato Ayaka: The story clearly isn't over, so the Darknight Hero must exist.]
Ding-Kamisato Ayaka answered correctly. Reward: one precious photo album containing eight hundred snapshots of her mother and father during their lifetimes.
[Kaeya: Excellent analysis.]
[Xiangling: The reward is a photo album?]
It didn't sound like much of a...
[Yoimiya: Why is Miss Ayaka crying on the livestream?]
[Kamisato Ayato: My apologies, everyone. My sister is simply overwhelmed. This item... is truly miraculous.]
[Thoma: My lady's parents passed away when she was very young.]
[Kujou Sara: The young lady of the Yashiro Commission's Kamisato family frequently attends social functions and has considerable contact with ordinary citizens. Shouldering such great responsibilities at her young age is no easy feat. Unlike certain people, who do nothing but cause trouble.]
Quite a few people in Inazuma City were moved to tears and sniffles as well.
[Arataki Itto: Kujou Turtle, you're talking about yours truly, aren't you?]
[Yoimiya: Stop arguing, everyone. The story's continuing.]
Everyone quieted down as the story continued.
Lawrence, a Knight of Favonius standing guard at Mondstadt City's gates, said, "Are you interested in him too? To tell you the truth, I was one of the eyewitnesses."
Paimon said, "Now we've found the right person! Who is the Darknight Hero?"
Lawrence said, "I was on patrol that night when I spotted a group of suspicious people plotting something, so I hid!"
[Kaeya: You hid?]
[Amber: You hid?]
[Keqing: You hid?]
[Kujou Sara: You hid?]
[Arataki Itto: Haha, I never hide!]
Paimon said, "Aren't you a guard?"
Lawrence said, "Then he appeared. To evildoers, he was a nightmare that crept up on them."
Lawrence said, "Guess what I did!"
Lumine scratched her head. "You ran away!"
[Thoma: Pfft. Miss Lumine, that's exactly what I was thinking.]
[Gorou: That... can't be right, can it?]
[Eula: There goes the Knights' reputation.]
Watching the livestream, Lawrence clutched his head. He could barely face anyone anymore. This was public humiliation on a massive scale.
Lawrence said, "I hadn't done anything wrong, so why would I run? But next to the Darknight Hero, my abilities would only make me a burden, so I went to the Knights' dormitory."
Paimon said, "Why did you go to the dormitory?"
Lawrence said smugly, "Think about it. Someone with such a strong sense of justice, who voluntarily protects Mondstadt, would naturally join the Knights, right?"
Ding-time for the livestream quiz. Please choose: who exactly is the Darknight Hero?
