The Overlord of Teyvat: Genshin Impact x Overlord crossover

Part 5

After leaving the Knights of Favonius Headquarters, Momon ventured to find Aether and Paimon. Familiar with their usual haunts, he made his way to the Good Hunter, and it didn't take long for him to locate them.

Upon entering the establishment, Momon spotted Aether and Paimon seated at a table, surrounded by an array of delicious dishes. Paimon, in particular, seemed to be relishing the culinary delights with enthusiasm. Standing beside them was Amber, the ever-cheerful outrider, wearing her signature expression of freedom.

Approaching the table, Momon greeted them, "Hey, Aether, Paimon. Looks like you've found a feast here."

Amber grinned, acknowledging his presence, "Hey there! The more, the merrier. Join us, Momon!" The atmosphere was lively, filled with the warmth of camaraderie and the simple joy of sharing a meal in the city of Mondstadt.

The aroma of freshly prepared dishes wafted through the air, tempting even the most stoic of appetites. Paimon, with a mouthful of food, turned to Momon with a mischievous grin.

"Momo, wanna join us for a feast?" she chirped between bites.

Aether shot Paimon a disapproving look. "Don't talk with your mouth full, Paimon," he scolded gently. Momon, however, took a seat at the table, his gaze fixed on the dishes before him, though he refrained from partaking in the meal.

Aether, curious about the meeting with Jean, leaned forward. "So, what did Jean have to say?"

Momon leaned back, producing a mysterious scroll and nonchalantly dropping it onto the table. Aether, Paimon, and Amber exchanged glances before Aether carefully unfurled the parchment, revealing its contents.

"You wished for lands?" Amber blurted out, her eyes widening in surprise.

The trio read through the scroll, absorbing the unexpected request. Paimon, ever the vocal companion, voiced her astonishment. "The Old Mondstadt and Dragonspine? Both of those places are pretty terrifying! One's crawling with monsters, and the other is an icy wasteland also filled with monsters."

Momon, unfazed by their reactions, explained, "As the new ruler, I can rid those lands of monsters. And as for the cold, I am immune to it."

Aether, intrigued, questioned Momon's motives. "That's impressive, but why wish for lands?"

Momon's gaze held a hint of foresight as he spoke, his eyes reflecting a wisdom beyond his apparent youth. "Having your own land is crucial, you know," he said, his voice carrying a weight of experience. "Throughout history, entire wars have been waged for control over territories. It might prove useful in the future."

Aether furrowed his brows, absorbing Momon's words with a thoughtful expression. "So, you're thinking strategically. Is there something you're anticipating?"

Momon leaned back, his expression cryptic. "The world of Teyvat is ever-changing. Having control over territories can shape the course of events, and with Mondstadt and Dragonspine under my rule, it provides a strategic advantage."

Paimon, always the curious companion, chimed in, "Momo, you've got plans beyond just monster-slaying, huh?"

Momon's enigmatic smile remained, leaving his companions intrigued and, perhaps, a tad uneasy about the uncertain future that lay ahead.

Amber nodded with genuine admiration. "That's a good point! Mondstadt will always respect you for saving us," she remarked, her tone filled with genuine respect. The idea of having a noble hero like Momon settling in Mondstadt seemed to resonate positively among the group, offering a sense of security and gratitude.

"So, what's your plan for today?" Momon interjected, subtly steering the conversation in a different direction.

Aether glanced at Momon, considering the question. "Oh yes, today we're returning the Holy Lyre to the church. Venti and Jean are probably waiting for us. Paimon, did you finish eating?" Aether inquired, diverting the attention to their tiny companion.
