Genshin Impact: I'm the Group Owner in Teyvat

[Gan Yu: What should I wear to the banquet tomorrow? [Sheep in confusion]]

[Hu Tao: Just come on over. I've had everything prepared for you. It should be ready by tomorrow morning. @Gan Yu]

……

Hall of Rebirth.

"Hey old man, your immortal is a bit irritable~"

Wendy sat on a small stool, chuckling incessantly: "Logically speaking, that doesn't make sense. The cave dwelling in Jueyun is quiet and elegant, far away from the world. It shouldn't have any wear and tear, right?"

"No."

As Zhongli brewed tea automatically, he shook his head and said, "Wearing and tearing stem from memories and loss. Tranquility only generates memories, and the three of them just haven't realized it yet."

"Xiaoyue studies ancient methods and has an extremely arrogant personality. Liuyun seems to have withdrawn from the world, but in reality, he often pays attention to the world. Lishui is eccentric. If this method is effective, why should I wander in the world?"

"If we cannot relinquish those powers, if we cannot live like mortals, the wear and tear will never be erased."

Wendy's smile faded after hearing those words.

After a moment, he chuckled and nodded, "Old man, I've learned a lot."

Wendy was just one of many winds, but these words meant a great deal to him.

Chulo is telling Klee a story.

There's one Klee on one bed, three Klee on another bed, and two Klee on yet another bed.

Many of the girls blinked their big eyes, listening with great interest.

"Once upon a time, there was a bard who looked different from other bards because he had a long nose..."

"Why? Because whenever this bard lies, his nose grows a little longer..."

"The bard didn't know at first, he kept lying, and eventually his nose grew so long that it pierced the sky above Teyvat..."

On the other side, Wendy looked helpless.

"Chu Luo, can I call you boss? Give me some face, okay?"

"If I had that long nose, I would have flipped that island over long ago..."

Chapter 168 Araki Ichito's Troubles

Inatsume, Hanamizaka.

In the Naganohara Fireworks Shop, in a room piled with all sorts of fireworks materials, Yoomiya is making a novel firework.

Just then, a burly man with horned ghosts quietly walked in.

"Crack!"

"hiss……"

With a pained expression, Araki Ichito covered the horn on his head, checked it to make sure it wasn't broken, breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped into the house.

Yonomiya turned his head to look, saw it was Araki Ichito, then turned back to continue fiddling with the fireworks materials in his hand.

This guy is always causing trouble. He was quiet for a few days after causing the ghost beetle disaster, but he's been getting restless again recently.

I don't know where I want to go and cause some trouble.

"Yōmiya... I have something I'd like to discuss with you..."

Araki Ichito squatted down next to Yonomiya, his face hesitant as he spoke: "This matter is very important and also very strange. How about you help me make a decision?"

Seeing his stammering manner, Xiao Gong glanced at him and scoffed, "Don't even think about getting me to go out and catch those ghost-catching insects for you. I've heard there's been a lot of activity on Bayun Island lately, I'm not going~"

Because of a disaster, the Oni-behemoths in the area belonging to Narukami Island were completely wiped out.

Although Araki Ichito repeatedly called it cruel, the incident was caused by his own carelessness, so he could only reluctantly accept the fact.

The children in Hanamizaka didn't have much to do, but recently a child from out of town moved here and brought a game called "Kemari" with him. The children quickly forgot about the Oni-beard insects.

Araki Ichito was also very happy, but after playing with the children once and kicking the kemari ball so hard it blew up, the children stopped playing with him.

"No, how could I possibly send you to catch ghost beetles?"

Araki Ichito scratched his head and whispered, "Come with me to a place, and you'll understand when we get there. I'll explain it to you slowly on the way, okay?"

"where to?"

Xiao Gong stared at the guy with suspicion, his head spinning at the thought of how often he caused trouble: "No, no, why don't you help me sort out the fireworks materials and make a few fireworks for everyone to play with?"

"Oh dear, please help me! This is really bizarre, I don't know what to do!"

Araki Ichito clasped his hands together, looking troubled: "Really, Yoomiya, you're so smart, you'll definitely be able to help me think of a solution. The festival is still over a month away, I promise I'll get the fireworks ready for you before then, how about that?"

"Really?"

Xiaogong pouted, put down what she was holding, and sighed: "Fine, but if you dare to lie to me again, I won't help you next time, understand?"

"Ugh, how could I possibly be that kind of person?"

Araki Ichito stood up happily, thumping his chest loudly.

So the two left the Naganohara fireworks shop, and Arataki Ichito led Yomiya straight to the outskirts of Narukami Island, soon arriving near the mudflats on the east side.

There was a small pleasure boat near the mudflats. A member of the Arataki faction saw Arataki Ichidou and hurriedly waved his hands.

"Boss, the boat's been towed over here!"

"Okay, Chuji, you can go back now. Leave the rest to me."

With Yoomiya on board, and Araki Ichito at the helm, they continued sailing the small boat eastward toward Narukami Island.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Yoomiya looked at Narukami Island, which was getting further and further away, and wondered what this guy was up to.

This road... This guy asked me a while ago where there was a deserted island. Isn't this the direction to a deserted island?

What happened to your group of Hilichurls?

Having seen the Hilichurl tribe of Ara-taki Ichidou before, and admiring the guy's nonchalant behavior, Xiaogong asked, "Could it be that the Sea Demons discovered us?"

Araki Ichito, while steering the boat, had a strange expression on his face after hearing the sound.

He shook his head: "The Bichurch people are even more baffling. You'll see when you get there."

A dozen minutes later, the cruise ship docked at the edge of the deserted island.

As Xiaogong disembarked, the first thing he saw was a neatly lined-up row of little Hilichurls.

One squad of Hilichurl thugs, one squad of Hilichurl shamans, and one squad of mini-Hilichurls.

But that wasn't the most shocking thing. What made Xiaogong's eyes widen was that in another open space in front of him, there were ten "mini Hilichurls" standing together, with more than forty Houndooms next to them.

These ghost beetles all have an elemental mark on their carapaces: wind, water, fire, lightning... Two of the slightly larger ones even have two elemental marks on their backs!

And these ten mini Hilichurls, although the same size as ordinary Hilichurls, look... like Hilichurls Kings?

"What...what...what the hell?"

Xiaogong was speechless, his worldview completely overturned by what he had seen.

Such a small Hilichurl King?

A herring beetle that possesses elemental power?

But what shocked Xiaogong even more was the sight of the two dual-attribute Oni-beetle insects crawling over, their antennae trembling slightly as they made a sound!

"Master, my companion, it's beautiful."

"Chong Er, greetings, Mistress."

ha?

Xiao Gong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened immediately: "A talking ghost... a ghost beetle???"

Then, the Hilichurls came over and stood in a row: "Hilich One (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) greet the Mistress!"

Night Palace: ? ? ?

Araki Ichito's face darkened, and he roared, "What mistress? This is my best friend, and she will be your master from now on!"

Xiaogong also realized what was happening, spat, and stared wide-eyed at Arataki Ichito: "Where did these Oni-behemoths and these Chuchu Kings come from?"

This is absolutely shocking!

It's one thing for the Hilichurl King to be able to speak human language, but now even the Hercules has started to speak human language. Has this world gone mad?

"Ugh, I don't know either!"

Arataki Ichito sat on a rock, his brow furrowed in distress: "I asked them where they came from, and they said they came from Hachiun Island. These Hercules insects are the batch I raised before, which was sent to Hachiun Island by the Shogunate army. I don't know how they came back..."

"These Hilichurl Kings were also brought back by Insect Big and Insect Two. What should we do with them now?"

There's basically nothing left to eat on this island.

Seaweed, sea lily, and even crabs can't keep their shells intact.

The biggest headache for Arata Ichito is that he has no food or place to house such a large group of subordinates.

"Um……"

Xiaogong thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't we send them back to Bayun Island? There are plenty of supplies there. I heard that a ship of the Fool Clan docked at Bayun Island a couple of days ago, so there should be quite a lot of supplies there."

"The Fools are so evil. Did you see the group chat? That guy named Tartaglia actually poisoned the Rock King to death. How terrifying."

"Why don't you send your men to Ba Yun Island and plunder all of the Fools' possessions? What do you think?"

Kind-hearted Yoomiya offered a suggestion, and Arataki Ichito, without much thought, immediately clapped his hands in agreement.

"Excellent, that's great! You're so clever, Yoshimiya!"

A gleeful Ara-Taki Ichito chuckled, "The Hercules can absorb the divine energy there to become stronger. Oh, by the way, this morning that big sister from the Hokuto clan in Liyue borrowed three Hercules from me, saying they were to protect against thunderstorms!"

"It can also protect against thunderstorms?"

"Yes!"

Araki Ichito nodded, scratching his head: "I'm going to Liyue for a banquet, do you want to come with me, Sou-miya?"

"what?"
