I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"I don't know, OwO. I've never seen a Hilichurl on the snow mountain~" In response to Meluxin's question, Eohaka said that she had never seen a Hilichurl on the snow mountain. After all, Eohaka was not interested in Hilichurls, and the reason was simple: they didn't look like edible things.

After both of them lost interest in why Hilichurls were appearing on the snowy mountain, Ehaka continued towards the target location she had sensed earlier. Soon, led by Ehaka, Melishin saw boar-like creatures frozen inside blocks of ice. Seeing these frozen boars, Melishin looked at Ehaka curiously and asked, "Master, is this the prey you were looking for? It doesn't look much different from a regular boar, just a little whiter..."

In response to Meluxin's question, Yuhaka looked at the snow pig frozen in the ice and nodded, indicating that it was indeed the case. Yuhaka had come to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain specifically for these snow pigs. Thinking of the delicious snow pig meat described in the books, Yuhaka couldn't help but drool. However, what puzzled Yuhaka was how these snow pigs were frozen and yet hadn't frozen to death. Yuhaka didn't quite understand this, but these were minor concerns. It proved that the snow pig meat was fresh enough. Yuhaka's only worry was whether the frozen meat would become unpalatable. After all, frozen meat would more or less affect its quality after thawing, and Yuhaka was worried that this might ruin the quality of the snow pig meat.

However, things weren't going well. Yuhaka first thawed a snow pig to check the situation. After Yuhaka finished thawing the snow pig, the first thing it did after regaining consciousness was to charge at Yuhaka and Merushin. Facing the charging snow pig, Yuhaka simply stretched out her small hand and pressed the snow pig back to its original position. Seeing the snow pig so lively and energetic, Yuhaka felt that the problem she was worried about seemed to be gone. She immediately drew the Baladion sword and slashed at the snow pig's head.

The snow boar, utterly devastated, collapsed to the ground. Seeing the boar's loss, Yuhaka's large tail wagged happily. Meanwhile, Miruko, watching the fallen boar, asked Yuhaka curiously, "Master, what are you planning to do with this wild boar meat?"

When asked about her question, Yuhka nodded thoughtfully, pondering what kind of dish to make. Yuhka decided to try the simplest grilled meat to test the texture and flavor of the snow pork. Yuhka naturally had no objection to Yuhka's suggestion, as she enjoyed all of Yuhka's cooking, especially ingredients rich in energy. Yuhka would never object to such a dish.

After Yuhaka made a simple barbecue, the two tried it and thought it was indeed good. In terms of meat quality, it was better than that of ordinary herbivorous dragon meat. Yuhaka thought it might be because the creature did not die after being frozen.

After all, most creatures would die if frozen into ice, but these snow pigs wouldn't freeze to death. Instead, they would charge at Yuhaka and the others with great vigor after thawing, which clearly shows that they have strong vitality and are at least much stronger than ordinary wild boars.

After deciding that the meat of this snow pig was good, Yuhaka planned to raise these snow pigs as food. However, just as Yuhaka and Merushin were collecting snow pigs, a huge snow pig, comparable in size to a wild boar king, appeared. Yuhaka's eyes lit up when he saw the huge snow pig.

Volume 6 [YuYu's Genshin Impact Journey]: Chapter 2017 [The Great Snow Pig: This is my escape route!]

Upon the sudden appearance of the giant snow boar, Yhaka's eyes glowed red, and his large tail swayed high. This was Yhaka's state of excitement. After all, Yhaka had originally intended to go find the boar, but the boar had run out first, saving Yhaka the time of searching for it.

When the giant snow boar noticed that Yuhaka and her companions were preying on its own kind, it realized something and came out. But when it came out and saw Yuhaka in an excited state, it realized that it had met its match. As a creature that had lived for an unknown amount of time, it understood that the seemingly weak creature in front of it did not know the simple creature it had imagined.

Without hesitation, the snow boar charged at Yuhaka. Seeing the large snow boar charging at her, Yuhaka assumed a stance ready to grab it. She was naturally very familiar with wild boars; all they did was charge forward recklessly, something Yuhaka had seen countless times.

However, Yuhka misjudged the situation this time. After seeing Yuhka assume a fighting stance, the giant snow boar in front of Yuhka and Melishin approached her at a certain distance. Then, to Yuhka and Melishin's surprise, the boar, despite its size, performed an unbelievable drifting maneuver, making a sharp 90-degree turn in front of them and dodging them. It even splattered snow all over Yuhka and Melishin's faces before running down the steep cliff face.

You've been tricked! This is my escape route!

This shows that the big snow boar's purpose was to feign an attack to confuse the enemy and then turn to escape, while also throwing snow all over Yuhaka and the others as cover. However, this action angered Yuhaka and Melukin, as it was the first time they had been tricked by a boar.

This infuriated Yuhaka and Melusin so much that they wanted to transform into dragons to teach that giant snow boar a lesson.

However, it would be too wasteful to transform into a dragon just to catch a pig, so Yuhaka drew his Demon-Slaying Holy Sword and the Baradion Divine Sword and gave chase.

"Don't run! Yuu's meat O皿O!" Yuuhaka shouted as he jumped off the cliff and chased after the giant snow boar. When Miru saw Yuuhaka chasing after him, she followed behind him. If she could, Miru would also like to slash the giant snow boar with her sword.

...............................

On a frozen lake somewhere in the Longji Snow Mountain, a girl with blue hair and golden eyes is swimming. Well, someone swimming in such a cold environment makes one wonder if she has a serious illness. But the person swimming here is not mentally ill; rather, she is simply not afraid of the cold and has come for winter swimming.

However, just as she was about to go ashore, she suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the mountainside. When she looked up, she saw a huge boar-like creature, many times larger than a normal wild boar, charging down towards her. The blue-haired girl was dumbfounded when she saw this. Clearly, even though she had been swimming in the frozen lake for many years, she had never seen such a huge wild boar. In addition to the boar, the blue-haired girl also saw two girls chasing after it. One of them was holding two one-handed swords, and the other was a girl dressed in a knight's uniform.

The blue-haired girl wasn't quite sure why the two people were there, but the situation before her was a bit overwhelming.

By the time the blue-haired girl realized what was happening, she knew the giant boar was heading her way. It was too late for her to get out of the frozen lake. The giant boar, familiar with the terrain, jumped from the cliff and landed right in the frozen lake where the blue-haired girl had been swimming.

Clearly, the giant snow boar intended to use the frozen lake as a buffer landing point, but it hadn't anticipated the presence of humans within it. The blue-haired girl, too, hadn't expected the boar to suddenly crash down on her head like a mountain. She strained with all her might to swim to shore, but unfortunately, before she could reach it, the boar plunged into the frozen lake. The massive impact created huge waves that slammed everything onto the shore, including the blue-haired girl who hadn't yet reached land.

After the giant snow pig landed in the icy lake, it quickly swam to the shore with its short legs, shook off the icy water, and fled away. Unfortunately, it underestimated Yuhaka's speed.

After the giant snow boar jumped down, Yhaka activated his dragon energy engine and charged towards it. Before the boar could escape, Yhaka transformed Baradion into a giant sword and thrust it towards the boar like a spear. Due to the high speed and the fact that the boar couldn't see what was above it, Yhaka's sword pierced through the boar's head. The boar was instantly pinned to the spot by Yhaka. Whether it was due to its tenacious vitality or simply a nervous spasm, the pierced boar continued to struggle.

However, it was all for naught. The giant snow boar that Yuhaka had pinned to the ground quickly lost its dream and collapsed to the ground, motionless. After seeing that the giant snow boar had lost its life, Yuhaka jumped off the giant snow boar with an "OwO~" expression on its face. At this moment, Yuhaka suddenly noticed something as white as the snow on the shore, lying on the snow. Seeing this, Yuhaka was full of question marks and didn't know what to say. Why would a naked idiot appear here?

"Master~ You caught that big wild boar—Eh? Who is this person?" When Melishin, who had caught up, saw Yuhaka looking at the blue-haired girl lying on the ground with an "OwO? ???" expression, she couldn't help but show a puzzled look. After all, seeing a human without a single thread in such a snowy weather made Melishin very puzzled. Wasn't this person afraid of freezing to death?

Regardless of their confusion about the situation, the creature lying on the snow was indeed alive. To prevent the unfortunate fellow from freezing to death, they decided to take him to a warmer place first...

P.S.: There are only 5 days left until the open beta of Starry Sky Railway, but time seems to be passing by so slowly lately...

Volume 6 [YuYu's Genshin Impact Journey]: Chapter 2018 [Blue-haired girl: I'll remember this grudge!]

In a cave somewhere on the only snowy mountain where they could shelter from the wind and snow, Yhaka and Meluxin brought the naked fools they had found there. This place was originally a hiding place for a group of Hilichurls, but Yhaka and Meluxin had dealt with it by turning it into ice blocks and throwing it away. Fortunately, these Hilichurls were also hygienic and did not defecate or urinate indiscriminately, otherwise Yhaka would have had to use high-temperature disinfection to get rid of the place.

After placing the unfortunate fellow aside, Yuhaka retrieved a blanket from the dimensional rift and wrapped him up in it to prevent him from freezing to death. The blanket also removed the large bump on his head, suggesting he had hit something hard when washed ashore. However, with Yuhaka's treatment, there was no need to worry. Of course, Yuhaka probably couldn't handle any brain damage.

Afterwards, Yuhaka and Meruko began to process their spoils. To be honest, this was the first time Yuhaka had been tricked by a pig, so he decided to cook it into a delicious meal to reward himself.

..................................

..................................

As the fragrance filled her nostrils, the blue-haired girl, who was in a coma, suddenly felt her mind clear. However, when she opened her eyes, she saw a hard rock wall above her. The blue-haired girl was still a little confused, but she knew very well that she had been winter swimming and bathing in the icy lake on Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. But the last scene was a giant wild boar falling from the sky.

The blue-haired girl snapped out of her daze upon realizing this. Sitting up, she looked around at her bewildered expression. She was clearly in a cave. Seeing the distinctive Hilichurls-made architecture, she realized she was in Hilichurls territory. A sense of unease washed over her. While she hadn't heard of Hilichurls eating people, that didn't mean they were friendly towards humans. As a member of the Knights of Favonius, she had heard of Hilichurls attacking caravans and travelers, though their aim wasn't to kill, but to steal.

According to a rumor she overheard at the tavern, these Hilichurls would steal people's clothes to use as fuel for fire. To be honest, the blue-haired girl found it hard to believe, since stealing clothes just to make firewood for roasting meat seemed absurd to her. But now, she had no choice but to believe it.

After all... the blue-haired girl realized her clothes were missing. Well... she hadn't worn much during her winter swim, and now, besides feeling a blanket, she couldn't sense anything else. Thinking this, she knew her clothes were unlikely to return. Looking around, she confirmed her clothes weren't there, but she didn't believe the Hilichurls would cover her with a blanket. She'd never heard of Hilichurls rescuing people, though she'd heard of people trying to learn their language to communicate. She didn't know much about it...

But no matter what, I must have been saved by someone else, right?

Thinking of this, the blue-haired girl's expression became somewhat indescribable. After all, given her current situation, she might have already been seen naked. As a young woman, the blue-haired girl felt her brain trembling, and her face immediately turned bright red. However, she quickly shook her head to clear her mind. Looking around, she saw a club placed not far away, which looked like a simple weapon used by Hilichurls. The blue-haired girl picked up the weapon, since she didn't know whether the person who saved her was an adventurer or a treasure-hunting group. In any case, it was necessary to be cautious, especially in her current situation. Fortunately, the Eye of God couldn't be lost, which made the blue-haired girl breathe a slight sigh of relief.

After standing up, the blue-haired girl wrapped the blanket around herself and then cautiously looked towards the door, following the aroma. She then saw two girls eating a large plate of fried pork cutlet curry rice.

"Master! This large snow pork tastes much better than those small snow pork!"

"Yes, it's delicious! Go back and raise it until it's bigger so we can eat it more! ~O~O~"

Hearing the two girls' words, the blue-haired girl looked like she didn't know what to say. However, after seeing the two people, the blue-haired girl recalled that she seemed to have seen two people following behind the giant wild boar, but her memory of this part was a bit vague. She couldn't make a judgment about it. She wondered if she had bumped her head, but her head obviously didn't hurt.

The blue-haired girl was a little confused, but smelling the aroma coming from outside, she couldn't help but swallow, and her stomach suddenly growled.

Hearing her stomach growl, the blue-haired girl couldn't help but look at her uncooperative belly. Her eyes twitched slightly, clearly speechless at her stomach. When she turned her head, she saw Yuhaka and Melyuki holding fried pork cutlet curry rice in their hands, looking at her. Seeing their gazes, the blue-haired girl was stunned, while Yuhaka and Melyuki blinked at each other as if confirming something.

Soon, Yuhaka turned to look at Melishin beside him and said, "Melishin, that idiot who doesn't wear clothes has woken up! OwO~" Hearing Yuhaka's words, Melishin nodded and held up her chopsticks, saying to Yuhaka, "Yes, Master, I saw it, but calling someone an idiot to their face isn't very ladylike, you know~"

Upon hearing Melyuki's words, Yuhaka immediately nodded with a look of sudden realization and said, "Yuyu understands, Yuyu will secretly say it behind the back of an idiot who doesn't wear clothes OwO~" As he spoke, Yuhaka gave a "See how smart Yuyu is" look, and Melyuki nodded upon hearing Yuhaka's answer, saying, "As expected of a master, you learn so fast!"

The blue-haired girl who overheard their conversation suddenly felt an urge to use her Wave-Slaying Light Sword to send them flying.

Volume 6 [Yoyo's Genshin Impact Journey]: Chapter 2019 [Welcome to Mondstadt]

In a cave located in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, Yuhaka, Melushin, and the blue-haired girl they rescued were there. The blue-haired girl was now wearing her Favonius Knight outfit again. After all, the place was not far from the frozen lake where the blue-haired girl had been winter swimming, so getting the clothes back wouldn't be difficult or take much time.

After the blue-haired girl returned, Yuhaka brought her a fried pork cutlet curry rice. Generally, the blue-haired girl wouldn't accept other people's food so easily, but when Yuhaka said that the fried pork cutlet was made by the Snow Pig King, the blue-haired girl accepted it without saying a word. After all, she had almost been crushed to death by that giant snow pig before, and she would feel embarrassed if she didn't get revenge.

However, the blue-haired girl was quite surprised by the fried pork cutlet made by Yuhaka with the meat of the Snow Boar King. After all, she hadn't expected that the meat of that giant wild boar would taste so good. It was so different from ordinary wild boar meat. She didn't know if it was the cooking method or the ingredients, but the blue-haired girl was very impressed by Yuhaka's cooking. However, considering the giant wild boar she had seen before, which was very rare, it was normal for it to taste so good, right?

After Yuhaka and the others finished eating, the blue-haired girl praised Yuhaka's fried curry rice, saying it was the best she had ever eaten. Hearing the blue-haired girl's praise, Yuhaka also showed a proud expression and wagged her big tail. However, despite the praise, the blue-haired girl still had something to ask Yuhaka and the others.

"I am Yura Lawrence, the captain of the guerrilla squad of the Knights of Favonius, known as the 'Wave Knight.' I salute you and express my gratitude for your rescue. However, while I am grateful, according to the rules of the Knights of Favonius, I still need to ask you two why you are in the Dragonspine region of Mondstadt. Although this is not a forbidden area, the environment here is harsh and there are many monsters. Ordinary people would not come here. Moreover, judging from your attire, you do not seem to be adventurers. May I ask you two what your purpose is in coming here?"

As the blue-haired girl, Yura, said, the Dragonspine Mountains are not only harsh in environment, but also teeming with monsters. In a sense, ordinary civilians wouldn't dare to come here to risk their lives, except for adventurers. After all, the numerous ruins here attract adventurers and historical researchers to explore and study. However, the problem is that Yuhaka and Meluxin don't look like adventurers at all. Yuhaka is wearing the hero's attire of the Principality of Biscotti. While it's not exactly noble, it looks to be of high quality, not something an ordinary person would wear. Meluxin's clothes, on the other hand, have a style reminiscent of aristocratic attire, and Meluxin herself exudes an aristocratic air. Yura is very aware of this, having studied aristocratic etiquette for several years, she is very sensitive to such things and can tell at a glance whether someone is a noble.

Upon hearing the words of the girl named Yura Lawrence, Yuhaka made no attempt to hide anything, raising her small hand and saying to Yura, "Yuyu came here to find some meat OwO／～" After hearing Yuhaka's reply, Yura thought about it. Yuhaka and the others had indeed been hunting wild boars, which wasn't unusual, as hunting was a common pastime during the old aristocratic era, something Yura was well aware of. However, for some reason, the girl who seemed to be an aristocrat was acting as if the girl who appeared to be a servant was the master, since the other girl was calling her master.

Could it be some kind of noble knight or squire?

Yura didn't think too much about it, since the other party's background wasn't a big problem. The real issue was what these two wanted to do in Mondstadt. Dragonspine Mountain wasn't a good place. If they had gotten lost, Yura would lead them away. But hearing Yuhaka's reply, although she didn't quite understand what he was saying, Yura assumed he was hunting. After all, Yura didn't think there was any good prey to hunt here. But thinking about the giant boar they had encountered before, Yura didn't know what to say.

Regardless, it would be better for Yura to take the other party to Mondstadt. As for Yuhaka and the others, they didn't have anything else to do, since they had already captured enough snow boars for breeding. Next, they would go to Mondstadt to see what local specialties they could find.

.........................................

.........................................

Located in the Windrise region of Mondstadt, Yura brought Yhaka and the others here. After all, the only way to reach Mondstadt is through the Windrise route. Mondstadt is a lake city built on an island in the center of a huge lake. The only land entrance is the bridge in front of the gate, which is located in the Windrise. Of course, it is also possible to travel by water, since there are ports built around Mondstadt for fishermen and boatmen to dock their boats. However, Yhaka and the others do not need to take a boat to Mondstadt.

"Speaking of which, did you come to Mondstadt just to buy some Mondstadt specialties?" On the way to Mondstadt, Yura asked Yura and the others about their purpose in coming to Mondstadt. To be honest, when she heard that the two of them had come to buy ingredients for Mondstadt specialties, Yura suspected that they were chefs. But Yura didn't think they looked like chefs. After all, what chef would have a knight with such noble airs protecting them?

Of course, we can't rule out that the other party has some special reasons, but for now, the two of them don't seem like bad people. Moreover, their strength is quite formidable. Although there is no way to determine their specific strength, after seeing them easily take down a large Hilichurl tribe on Dragonspine Mountain, Yura knew that the two of them were definitely not simple characters.

Soon the three arrived at the bridge entrance in Mondstadt. Upon arrival, Yura looked at Yuhaka and Melusin and said, "This is the city of freedom, poetry, and stories. Welcome to Mondstadt, both of you."

Volume 6 [YuYu's Genshin Impact Journey]: Chapter 2020 [A Disgusted Gaze]

Upon arriving in Mondstadt, the three were led by Yura to search for Mondstadt specialties. Although Yura was an excellent guide, for some reason, the surrounding Mondstadt residents didn't seem to like her. Yura could sense a strong sense of disgust, but this disgust wasn't directed at her; instead, it was directed at Melishin. This caused Yura's goodwill towards the city's residents to decrease, as she didn't particularly like this feeling.

When Yura pointed out where they could buy Mondstadt specialties to Yuhaka and the others, she pointed from a distance, as if to avoid the shopkeepers misunderstanding that Yuhaka and the others had any relationship with her. After all, Melishin's attire could easily be misunderstood, and Yura seemed a little cautious about this. Of course, she was also trying to avoid being recognized by Yuhaka and the others, but unfortunately, Yuhaka already knew what was going on.

Meluxia seemed to have sensed something as well. After all, as a knight, Meluxia was very sensitive to gazes. To be honest, she was a little confused when faced with this inexplicable look of disgust. Why would the people in this city look at her with such disgust?

However, Melishin quickly noticed something was wrong. Most of the disgusted gazes were directed at Yura, with only a few directed at her. Yuhaka, on the other hand, didn't receive any such disgusted looks. Melishin looked at herself and Yura to see if they had any similarities, and then she understood why.

It was clear that the people of this city didn't seem very friendly to nobles. Thinking of this, Melishin secretly used a Command Spell to tell Yuhaka about the situation. Yuhaka was aware of Melishin's report, but he wasn't quite sure why. However, as long as these guys didn't rush up to cause trouble, Yuhaka wouldn't care too much.

But just then, a girl who looked like a red rabbit noticed Yura and the others and waved to them with a happy expression, calling out, "Yura! So you're here! I've been looking for you!"

"Amber???" Seeing Amber suddenly appear, Yura was slightly flustered, but she quickly composed herself and didn't let Amber see her lose her composure. Then, Yura coughed and asked, "Ahem, Amber, what happened?"

"Yura, we've got a lead on what happened last time!" Amber said as she approached Yura. Yura paused slightly upon hearing this, clearly thinking of something. Just then, Amber was taken aback when she saw Yhaka and Melishin beside Yura. It wasn't unusual that she hadn't met Yhaka and Melishin before, but their presence beside Yura surprised her. Amber knew very well that her friend wasn't well-liked in Mondstadt, and Yura herself seemed to dislike interacting with others.

Of course, Amber actually knows very well what kind of person Yura is. She is not a cold and unapproachable person, but few people can see this. Everyone only sees the surface.

Amber was curious about the identities of the two people accompanying Yura, so she asked, "Yura, who are these two ladies?" Yura didn't hide anything from Amber and explained, "These two are foreign travelers I met on Dragonspine Mountain. I encountered a little trouble there, but thankfully they helped me and the situation was resolved."

As she spoke, Yura also gave Yuhaka and the others a look, signaling them not to tell them what happened to her in Dragonspine. If Amber knew that she had been knocked unconscious by a wild boar that fell from the sky while she was winter swimming in the icy lake, Yura probably wouldn't have the face to show up in front of Amber.

When Yuhaka and the others saw Yura's meaningful glance, Yuhaka had an "OwO?" look on her face, while Melishin seemed to understand what was going on. However, Melishin probably misunderstood; she thought Yura wanted her not to tell Amber about her ordeal on Dragonspine Mountain, not that Amber knew she had been knocked unconscious by a boar. Fortunately, Amber didn't think Yura had encountered anything too troublesome. She was more curious about Yuhaka and the others' identities. After all, if they could chat with Yura, they must be able to talk about both things, right?

"Greetings! I am Amber, a scout knight of the Knights of Favonius. Welcome to Mondstadt!" Upon hearing Amber's words, Eohaka and Melishin greeted her in return, "Eohaka is Eohaka OwO~." Melishin, on the other hand, gave Amber a proper knightly salute. Seeing Melishin's impeccable knightly etiquette, Amber felt a little flustered. After all, it was the first time Amber had ever seen such a formal salute, and the other person seemed to be a noble like Yura. However, she didn't have the airs of nobles like Lawrence; instead, she gave off a noble yet approachable vibe.

After chatting briefly with Yhwach and the others, Amber learned that they came from an island overseas and had come to Mondstadt to buy some unique ingredients. Yura, who was standing nearby, explained that she had just brought Yhwach and the others to look for Mondstadt's special ingredients. Hearing Yura's words, Amber nodded to indicate that she understood. However, due to some very important matters, Amber apologized for having to borrow Yura.

When Yuhaka and the others heard that Amber and Yura had something important to discuss, Melushi was also a little curious. After all, judging from Amber and Yura's expressions, it didn't seem like a simple matter. If possible, she hoped to be able to help them out.

Yura and Amber disagreed, as Yuhaka and her companions were guests visiting Mondstadt, and asking guests for help would be extremely impolite to the Knights of Favonius. Yuhaka then stated that the help wouldn't be free and she would receive payment later. Melishin, who was standing nearby, seized the opportunity to suggest that having more people would be a great help.

P.S.: By the way, how many years before the main story of Genshin Impact's Mondstadt manga begins? I haven't read it, and I'm a little worried that I might have gotten the storyline wrong.
