Hands on Hips, Man of Justice!

Paimon: "Exactly! Darknight Hero sounds so lame. You should change it to something more romantic!"

Paimon: "Hmm... hmm..."

Paimon: "Man..."

Diluc: "Man?"

Lumine: "Man?"

Paimon planted her hands on her hips. "Man! Of! Justice!"

[Paimon: Hands on hips, Man! Of! Justice!]

[Lumine: Hands on hips, Man! Of! Justice!]

[Amber: Hands on hips, Man! Of! Justice!]

[Klee: Hands on hips, Man! Of! Justice!]

[Yun Jin: Hands on hips, Man! Of! Justice!]

[Sangonomiya Kokomi: Hands on hips, Man! Of! Justice!]

[Gorou: Lady Sangonomiya, why are you joining in too?]

[Kamisato Ayaka: This is so much fun! Man! Of! Justice!]

[Diluc: Don't @ me. Out of sight, out of mind.]

Paimon: "So, Mr. Man of Justice, what exactly happened?"

Diluc: "It was the Abyss Order."

[Jean: I never expected the Abyss Order to have reached the outskirts of our city already.]

[Ningguang: Keqing, tell everyone in the Millelith to stay extra vigilant at night too.]

[Kujou Sara: The Tenryou Commission will unfailingly uphold the Shogun's orders and keep everyone safe.]

The story continued, with Paimon and Lumine helping Diluc keep his secret.

[Kaeya: Now all of Teyvat knows about Mr. Man of Justice.]

[Diluc: Hmph. Get back to freezing your way across the sea, Mondstadt's Ice-Crossing Adeptus!]

After Hoffman spoke with Lumine and the others.

Lumine found Diluc and told him that the Abyss Order had issued a challenge.

Quite a bit of dialogue was skipped in this part of the story.

For example, Diluc would mention things like the Dawn Winery's intelligence network.

Diluc: "They're counting on my disagreement with the Knights. I've already located one of their strongholds."

[Jean: Senior Diluc, please have a little more faith in the Knights.]

[Diluc: I have my own way of doing things. There's no need to say anything more.]

Ningguang and the others watched the events in Mondstadt unfold, and no one in the elite livestream chat joked about these matters.

Then came the force Diluc and Lumine used to capture an Abyss Mage and interrogate it.

Paimon: "Master Diluc is now number one on Paimon's list of people not to mess with."

[Charles: Now no one will dare run up a tab. Everyone in the tavern was shouting "Man of Justice" earlier, but now they're calling him Master Diluc again.]

Diluc's methods, and the flames he used to torture the Abyss Mage, frightened quite a few people.

Inside Mondstadt City, at the Knights' headquarters.

Hoffman said, "We need to uncover the Darknight Hero's true identity and place him under our protection."

Paimon: "Protection?"

Hoffman: "Shh. Protection is really just the official pretext. The Knights intend to take over this matter, so that the people of Mondstadt City can have faith in us."

As people watched the livestream, the scrolling comments filled with discussion.

"Our Knights of Favonius are still very dependable."

"Our Millelith in Liyue are dependable too."

"Our Inazuma..."

"Inazuma has the Shogunate Army too!"

"Why do our friends from Inazuma sound so unsure of themselves?"

Hoffman: "The Abyss Order has hostile intentions. We must proceed carefully."

Kaeya stepped out.

[Xingqiu: Ice-Crossing Adeptus, you're on screen.]

[Beidou: How far has the Ice-Crossing Adeptus gotten?]

[Kaeya: Freeze... What did you say?... Freeze! Almost halfway there. I'm going to die of exhaustion.]

Kaeya stepped out on the livestream.

Fifty people in the regular livestream chat will be selected to answer. A correct answer earns 30,000 Mora. A wrong answer means hopping on one foot for a day.

Everyone in the Mondstadt region is barred from answering or revealing the answer and will not be selected. Anyone who reveals it will receive double punishment.

[Sara from Good Hunter: This is practically a free point!]

[Amber: Haha, for people from Mondstadt, this is a free point. Everyone in Liyue and Inazuma, make the most of it!]

[Klee: Klee knows the answer! Big Brother Kaeya is ******.]

Klee has been detected revealing the answer. As punishment, Jean will spank Klee for five minutes.

[Jean: ????]

[Klee: Klee was wrong! Klee won't do it again!]

[Diona: That's terrifying.]

[Barbara: Sister, please go easy on her.]

[Jean: I can't control my body either. I'm just being used as a tool.]

[Noelle: This really is a free point.]

[Razor: I, also, in Mondstadt. Why don't I know answer?]

The people from Mondstadt in the livestream chat were all grinning, endlessly going on about how easy it was and calling it a free point.

But the people from Inazuma and Liyue were utterly bewildered.

You know, but we don't!

Of course, some merchants from Liyue knew and were quietly preparing to buzz in.

[Arataki Itto: I'm not scared! I'll take a guess!]

[Xinyan: Who's scared? I'll buzz in too. This question is way easier than the last one.]

[Qiqi: If Qiqi answers correctly, can Qiqi have coconut milk?]

[Sangonomiya Kokomi: There are indeed some clues we can analyze in this question.]
