Archon of Minus

Chapter 24:Is this supposed to be a hero?

A legend ends with the dragon slayn. In this legend, the dragon just took a relaxing flight after having some sense knocked into him.

Well, screwed into him. But the end result is the same.

After this unfolding trial, Kumagawa together with Paimon and Lumine decided to take a trip for a good meal at the Good Hunter.

Lumine:I guess he wasn't here after all...Where should we go next.

Kumagawa:[From what I know, the closest nations are Snezhnaya and Liyue. Paimon-chan?]

Paimon:Uh, well there's a settlement of mountains between us and Snezhnaya and it's very cold. And I don't think getting in Snezhnaya will be so easy after what we, especially someone...

Paimon eyed Kumagawa as she emphatized someone. Th minus turned his head away, whistling innocently.

Paimon:Did to the Fatui. So Paimon thinks we should go to Liyue.

Lumine:Okay, sounds good to me.

Kumagawa:[Isn't their Archon an dragon? Huh, we must have compatibility for dragons or something. Maybe we'll get a fire type!]

Paimon:Uh...What?

Lumine:I don't think the Geo Archon would have dominion over fire, though.

Kumagawa:[Ah, don't mind that.]

Right, because all three of them were from different words those two wouldn't get his references. Well, most people didn't get most of what he's saying most of the time anyway.

As they happily chated they ignored Kaeya who was right beside them. It looks like tye knight is gonna put a stop to it.

Kaeya:Why so cold? I've always thought that we enjoy quite the intimate friendship.

Lumine:Oh hey, I didn't see you there...

Kaeya:Hahaha...It seems your great battle sharpened not only your combat skills but your wit as well. A knight after my own heart.

Kumagawa:[We're knights only in name, though.]

Kaeya:But knights nevertheless. To bask in the presence of Mondstadt's new big heroes is quite the morale boost. And that's coming from a knight.

Paimon:Sweet talking sugarcoated Captain Kaeya...

Kaeya:Haha, nonsense! I speak from the heart.

Lumine:What are you doing here?

Kaeya:Just looking for a quiet spot to collect my thoughts.

Paimon:While all the other knights are working hard to clean up after the battle...

Kaeya:Thinking can be an arduous task, you know. Believe me, I'd much rather be taking out the trash.

Kumagawa:[Haha, is your trash a bag leading to vortex of wonders by any chance?]

Paimon:Ah! That's right! Maybe Paimon fell for that pirate story...But you won't trick us again, mister! Hmph!

Kaeya:I assure you, that is not my intent.

Paimon: So, whatcha thinkin' about, then?

Kaeya:The Abyss Order.

Kumagawa:[Ah, I see. You think there's still a missing part of the puzzle, correct?]

Kaeya:Exactly. A dragon wreaks havoc in Mondstadt, and the Acting Grand Master leaves the city to combat the threat. Strategically, that's the perfect moment for the Abyss Order to make their move. If you were with the Abyss Order, would you squander this golden opportunity by sending in nothing more than a few hilichurls?
