"It's only been a short month!" Eula corrected.
"I mean... during the time when the Lawrence family lived together."
In order to convince Eula to go to Inazuma with him, Tsumugi Kujo decided to have a formal showdown and confess his identity to her.
Through observations during this period, Tsumugi Kujo is convinced that the dead "Tsumugi Lawrence" occupies a large place in Eula's heart. Only by confessing her identity can she have a slight chance of convincing Eula.
"what are you saying?"
For a moment, Eula was unable to realize what Tsumugi Kujo wanted to say.
"It's been so long... but it seems that you still haven't been recognized by the people of Mond, Sister Eula. So do you want to admit defeat? What about our bet?"
Tsumugi Kujo's words were like a bomb exploding in Eula's mind. She looked at Tsumugi Kujo in front of her in disbelief, and remembered the "previous life theory" that Tsumugi Kujo had mentioned a few days ago.
Although Eula told Tsumugi Kujo a lot about "Tsumugi Lawrence", she did not tell her about the bet between her and her sister. Logically speaking, Tsumugi Kujo should not know about this matter!
"Good day, Sister Eula." Tsumugi Kujo performed the noble etiquette of Mondstadt. "Tsumugi Lawrence would like to offer you his most sincere greetings."
Eula was very familiar with this sentence. When she lived in the Lawrence family, she would hear this greeting every day when she met her sister.
Looking at Eula who was so shocked that she couldn't speak, Tsumugi Kujo raised the corner of her mouth into a beautiful arc.
This smile was also very profound to Eula. Even when facing the Mond people who spoke ill of her, Tsumugi Lawrence always kept this smile on her face, because in her opinion, as a noble, she must have the tolerance of a noble and tolerate the unreasonableness of commoners. This is also a quality that a noble should have. After all, only commoners would quarrel with commoners.
The smile appears polite and elegant on the surface, but in essence it represents aristocratic arrogance.
When seeing the familiar smile in her memory, Eula did not feel any joy. Instead, she felt a sense of fear rising from the bottom of her heart.
It wasn't just because the dead person appeared in front of her again. It was because Kujo Tsumugi's smile reminded Eula of the memories she had long forgotten and didn't want to remember.
The strict teachings from her father since she was a child, the whispers of her clansmen behind her back after she expressed her desire to join the Knights of Favonius, and the "aristocracy theory" that Tsumugi Lawrence instilled in Eula before his death.
...These memories are what Eula usually doesn't want to recall. They are full of painful memories, but now they all come flooding back.
"Ms. Eula? Are you okay?"
Kujo Tsumugi originally planned to continue persuading Eula, but she found that Eula's condition was very strange, and the expression on her face was full of... fear?
Tsumugi Kujo approaches Eula, trying to comfort her.
"No! Stay away from me!"
But Eula screamed and retreated back to the bed as if she saw a flood or a beast. After retreating to the corner, she covered her body tightly with the quilt, and immediately made Kujo Tsumugi unable to move.
Is it true that Eula is a person who is afraid of ghosts?
Even if you are afraid of ghosts, you shouldn't be this scared, right?
Originally, Tsumugi Kujo wanted to give Eula a big "surprise" to make her downplay what happened last night, but it seems she overdid it...
What should I do now? Use the same method I used last night to make Eula forget what just happened?
Fighting poison with poison is an example of this.
Kujo Tsumugi looked at the frightened Eula and thought it would be better to calm her down first.
"Sister Eura, it's me, Tsumugi Kujo."
Tsumugi Kujo said this in a sickly sweet tone, but after hearing the name "Sister Eula", Eula, who was hiding under the quilt, immediately began to tremble in fear.
Tsumugi Kujo tried to call Eula again, but got no response.
There was no point in talking, there was no way to communicate at all.
Then we can only take action.
Tsumugi Kujo climbed onto the bed and slowly came to Eula's side. She could see that as she got closer, Eula's body began to tremble again.
Tsumugi Kujo hugged the curled-up Eula and gently patted her back with one hand, coaxing her like a child.
If this behavior doesn't work, then Kujo Tsumugi doesn't know what to do.
Fortunately, after a while, Eula's body stopped shaking. Just when Kujo Tsumugi was hesitating whether to lift the quilt to check on Eula's condition, a slender hand reached out from under the quilt and grabbed Kujo Tsumugi.
"Forehead……"
Before Tsumugi Kujo could react, she was grabbed by Eula and thrown into the quilt. Then, Tsumugi Kujo felt the familiar touch of lips again. The difference from the last time was that this time Tsumugi Kujo was at a disadvantage.
Eula seemed to want to get rid of her inner fear in this way. Gradually, she became dissatisfied with the contact of lips and began to make moves on Tsumugi Kujo.
Tsumugi Kujo: ...
Well, forget it. It’s not the first or second time that I’ve been bullied by others.
So that morning, Kujo Tsumugi and Yura didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky.
After venting her emotions, Eula returned to normal, which is a cause for celebration.
"So... Sister Eula, we two don't owe each other anything." This time, it was Kujo Tsumugi who hid in the bed like a wolf, not daring to come out. Of course, she was just pretending.
"Why did you come back to life?"
Eula looked at Kujo Tsumugi with complicated eyes. After venting her anger just now, Eula's mind became much clearer, at least she had recovered to the point where she could communicate normally.
"I don't know either. After I died, I was reincarnated as Inazuma and became a Tengu. I finally broke through the isolation order and came to Mondstadt, but I ended up being married to my own sister who has no blood relationship with me... Woohoo, I can't get married."
Kujo Tsumugi covered her face and cried, making a cry that couldn't be more fake.
"What about Catherine and Rosalia?" Eula asked.
"After coming to Mondstadt, I have been having strange memories for a while, and then I was entangled with Rosaria and Miss Catherine."
Tsumugi Kujo stripped herself clean, saying that she knew nothing and was just a naive bottom.
Although Eula really doesn't want to believe the reason given by Kujo Tsumugi...but it seems that this is the only way she can believe her for now.
Looking at Tsumugi Kujo lying on the bed pretending to cry with her face covered, Eula felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
My sister is resurrected, which should be a good thing, why can't I be happy...
Chapter 142 The celebration ends
Things on Eula's side were just passed by in a blur.
Tsumugi Kujo once again invited Eura to go to Inazuma, and also explained to her that she was destined to maintain some not-so-pure relationships with multiple people. In response, Eura's answer was... to give her some time to think about it.
With so much stimulation in such a short period of time, Eula's brain was about to shut down.
This time, Tsumugi Kujo did not stay with Eula because she had her own things to do. After kissing Eula goodbye, she came to the office of Captain Qin.
"Jin, you... wow."
Tsumugi Kujo pushed open the door and saw that Qin's desk was crowded with two or three times more documents than before, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
Although people had a great time yesterday, many problems also arose. Some of the Knights of Favonius who had worked overtime had to be given a day off after the celebration, and Noelle no longer helped others with chores after becoming Tsumugi Kujo's personal maid. For various reasons, the number of commissions that Jean had to handle increased sharply.
When Tsumugi Kujo first walked in, she couldn't even see Qin sitting behind the desk. When she stood up, Tsumugi Kujo saw Qin's haggard face on the pile of documents.
"I was also wondering when you would start reducing the size of the Knights Order. It looks like it will take a few days..."
Tsumugi Kujo took out a document from the table and looked at it.
I don’t have time to clean up the trash in front of my house, so…
Tsumugi Kujo tore up the documents in his hand and threw them into the trash can.
It's a waste of time to continue reading.
"Then leave this matter to me, I can..."
"No, that's not necessary!" Qin was so scared that she immediately became alert when she heard that Kujo Tsumugi actually wanted to handle this matter. She didn't dare to leave such a thing to Kujo Tsumugi.
"I'll take care of these things as soon as possible."
"Whatever, but Captain Qin, you should know that we don't have much time. There are still more than two months before the Brew Festival. We must wipe out the Hill tribe entrenched in the Whispering Forest before this time and prepare for the Brew Festival. We also need to write letters to invite leaders of other countries to come."
"I know."
Qin sighed heavily.
"Time is not abundant" is considered a high EQ statement. A more accurate statement should be "time is very tight."
"Then come on."
Since Captain Koto rejected Kujo Tsumugi's kindness, Kujo Tsumugi has no intention of interfering in other people's business... That would be strange.
Kujo Tsumugi still understands the most basic professional ethics of doing one's job well.
Since I can't help Qin openly, I'll help her secretly.
So Tsumugi Kujo came to the Deer Hunter Restaurant and found the knight captain who was eating without a horse.
stare……
Kaia put a piece of grilled pork chop into his mouth and chewed it.
stare……
Cold sweat began to break out on Kaia's forehead.
stare……
"Ahem, isn't this Miss Kujo? It's such a coincidence that we meet here, hahaha."
Kaiya's face was still a little sullen. After Kujo Tsumugi stared at him without blinking for more than ten minutes, he finally spoke to greet Kujo Tsumugi.
"Captain Qin is still working hard in the office. How can you sleep well in your position? No, how can you eat peacefully?"
Kujo Tsumugi said sarcastically.
"I thought about helping Captain Qin, but she refused." Kaia replied.
"A cavalry captain with no horses and no infantry, isn't he just a redundant official who draws a salary without doing anything? I guess I need to report this to Captain Qin."
"Wait a moment." Kaiya finished his lunch voraciously after hearing this. "You're here to help Captain Qin with his official duties, right? I'll be there right away!"
Then he immediately ran towards the Knights' office.
Kaeya is not afraid of Kujo Tsumugi. Even if Kujo Tsumugi really complains to Captain Koto, Kaeya is confident that he can keep his position. However, he is very afraid of her trouble. Kaeya also knows that if he does not agree, he will face endless disruption and trouble from Kujo Tsumugi.
Instead of fighting with Kujo Tsumugi and both of them getting hurt, it would be better to take the initiative to help Qin with official business. At least I can do Qin a favor.
After seeing Kaeya leave, Tsumugi Kujo returned to the hotel she rented. At this time, Hunter and Thomas had already packed all their luggage and were ready to leave.
"Toma, are you really planning to go back to Inazuma?" Before parting, Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but ask again.
Ever since the implementation of the isolation order, Thomas has been looking forward to returning to Mondstadt, and Kujo Tsumugi thought he was planning to leave the hunter.
"I just miss my relatives and friends in Mond. I have no intention of leaving. After all, I am not finished repaying my gratitude yet." Thomas said with a smile.
"You have helped me a lot." Kujo Tsumugi said sincerely. Without Thomas' efforts, the hunter team might not have been established.
"I have no intention of resting until the Fatui are completely driven out of Inazuma."
When talking about the Fatui, even the optimistic Thomas had a gloomy look on his face.
Perhaps the original reason why Thomas stayed with Kujo Tsumugi was simply to repay his kindness, but after seeing the numerous heinous crimes committed by the Fatui, Thomas harbored great hatred in his heart for this cruel organization that used civilians for human experiments.
It's not just Thomas, there are many people like this in the hunting team.
The Hunter Corps' method of recruiting people is different. Since most of the owners of the Eye of God have stubborn tempers, even Thomas, who has strong communication skills, encountered many difficulties in the initial recruitment. But later Thomas thought of a good way and successfully solved the problem of recruiting people for the Hunter Corps.
Loyalty is prevalent in Inazuma. All Thomas and Kujo Tsumugi need to do is find those samurai with rigid personalities, use various means to make them temporarily join the Hunters, and then take them to destroy the Fatui's evil eye factory.
Although the loyalty and righteousness popular among Inazuma is slightly different from the chivalrous spirit of Liyue, at least in terms of protecting the people, the two are similar.
After seeing the tragic conditions of the Evil Eye factory's experimental subjects, many people directly joined the Hunters in order to fight against the Fatui.
This is also the reason why the relationship between Kujo Tsumugi and the lady must never be exposed. Otherwise, God knows what these hunters will do after seeing that their superiors have betrayed their ideals.
Don't forget that Inazuma has a tradition called the inferior overthrowing the superior...
"Well, remember your mission this time."
Kujo Tsumugi nodded with satisfaction.
The hunters had a mission to return to Inazuma. The first was to transport the money from Kujo Tsumugan Ningguang and other scattered Mora back to Inazuma. The second was to prepare a batch of fireworks from Inazuma and send them to Mondstadt in preparation for the Fine Brew Festival in two months. As for the third mission... hehe.
Tsumugi Kujo has already obtained the manufacturing drawings of the magical equipment used by the Faint from Sandone... With these drawings, Inazuma will be able to manufacture the magical equipment for the Faint.
Although the quality of the magical equipment made by Inazuma may be lacking, as long as this thing can be mass-produced, it will be possible to completely eliminate the Fatui in Inazuma.
"understood."
Thomas responded, and then led a group of people behind him towards Mond's side door.
