Genshin Impact: Become a heart-stealing thief in the land of justice

Kong and Paimon followed Yu Shui to the office of the judge of Momang Palace. Although it was not their first time here, it was the first time to see almost all relevant people gathered in the same room like this.

"Hey! Everyone, we are here to help too!"

Paimon was the first to say hello. Yu Shui walked behind the two of them, his expression as calm as usual. He seemed to notice that Leosley's eyes were focused on him.

"?"

The look in his eyes was a little different from usual, which made Yu Shui have to pay more attention to what was going on.

"It's Traveler and Paimon...We welcome you. Did you just say you were here to help?"

Villette looked as usual, as if the discussion about Yu Shui just did not exist at all, and entertained the two new guests. Clolind calmly found the sofa and sat down.

As for Funina...she was trying to signal Yu Shui with her eyes, but Yu Shui didn't look at her at all. His entire attention was now focused on Leosli alone.

Funina: ...Love makes people blind. This is so true!

Kong and Paimon were briefly explaining the causes and consequences of their arrival to Villette. Yu Shui walked to Leosley's side and was keenly aware of the Duke's somewhat pale face.

"What's wrong... I went out for a walk for less than an hour, and I found two perfect helpers for us. Is it possible that after just an hour, you turned pale because of my thoughts?"

"How could it be? I'm not so lovesick. I was just discussing with you how to trap the thief."

Leosli's expression was as usual, but when he looked at the man beside him, there was a lot more meaning in his eyes. Yu Shui was still as usual, decent and natural, and sometimes his words were a little playful.

It's the look of my deep love... I hope all the speculation just now is not true, it is true that there is another unknown existence of Leosley.

"Leosli, do you really recognize me...do you recognize who I am?"

His mind couldn't help but recall the confrontation that took place in the underground room of the Opera House. This sentence has been echoing in Leosley's memory since then.

You Lin is reminding him that the real him is the person around him. He has been beside Leosley watching his every move.

It's so funny...

……

Yu Shui actually felt that something was not right about the atmosphere from the moment he walked in, but he couldn't figure out where the strange atmosphere came from.

Until Paimon's confused voice sounded in the office.

"Hey? Why are there two broken teacups in the trash can? They look like the teacups from Momang Palace... Did someone flip the table over?"

"!"

Paimon didn't know anything, so he asked about the two teacups without any scruples, which made the four people who were in the office just now look shocked.

It also made Yu Shui realize where the something amiss came from... There was a scent of tea in the air in the office, and it was the smell of tea that was brewed by oneself.

Yu Shui always felt that the tea he brewed had a special aroma that other people's tea did not have, but Leosli always said that it was the smell of the land of death.

and so…

Yu Shui secretly touched Leosley's arm and expressed the speculation in his mind.

"Could it be that... you used the tea I brewed to trick Navilette and he succeeded, but he flipped the teacup in anger and scolded you?"

"...?"

Leosli really couldn't understand what Yu Shui was thinking about in his little head all day long, but he had found the reason himself, so Leosli naturally agreed.

"Oh~ don't say too much, Ayu, just don't mention this matter."

"Oh, I understand... I didn't expect that someone as serious as the Inquisitor would be angered by my tea. In my heart... I suddenly felt quite accomplished."

What a strange sense of accomplishment.

Leosley breathed a sigh of relief. Paimon was also dragged away by Sora. There were only two broken tea cups, which were not worth discussing.

It was also this moment of relaxation that prevented Leosley from seeing the darkness that quietly flashed in Yu Shui's eyes.

……

"Everything has been settled, so I'll leave first, Sister Bao'er... I wish you a return to glory in Liyue, oh by the way..."

On that special night, at the end of Yu Shui's meeting with Bao'er, when he was about to leave, Yu Shui paid special attention to the cup of tea he brewed.

He poured all the tea there on the ground and watched it flow through the gaps in the mechanical floor.

"Huh? What is this?"

"Excluding all factors that may point to my identity, I don't want to be exposed in front of everyone just yet... Hum, I want to kiss such a big boyfriend a few more times. If he is really exposed, he will probably fight to death. "

Yu Shui clearly remembered that he poured out the cup of tea that night, but when Paimeng shouted to break the two broken cups, he suddenly realized...

Hidden under the scent of hot tea, the scent of the already cold tea brewed by Liyue's water, almost instantly... he judged what happened in the office before he came back.

So much so that after Navilette finished explaining his plan, Yu Shui returned to the lounge where he and Leosli were staying, feeling empty in his heart.

Leosley said that he still had some personal matters to discuss with Villette and the others, and Yu Shui was not in the mood to make fun of their whispers, because the whispers must have something to do with him.

Closing the door to the lounge... leaning against the wooden door, he slowly slid to the ground.

"Pfft... Oops, have you been tricked into thinking after all? There is still a chance to hide it for the rest of your life."

There were no lights on in the lounge, and Yu Shui was surrounded by the shadows in the corner by the door. His voice was calm, as if nothing had happened.

But it seemed that he had returned to the helpless state he once had, sitting alone in a corner hugging himself to keep warm. But there was no sadness in his eyes, because this was a situation that had been expected.

His identity has been suspected, and this time the suspicion is stronger than last time, and the evidence is more conclusive. The play within the play is about to come to an end, but the play itself is about to reach its climax.

Yu Shui didn't care that his identity and crime were completely exposed, he only cared about the person who forced him to be exposed... The hand in his arms tightly held the handle of the purple mirror and took it out.

The mirror surface was still black, like dirt that could never be wiped clean, and like sins in his life that could never be washed away, preventing him from seeing his true appearance.

"Abyss... Is there a way to copy my tea-making technique? Or... a little bit of ordinary tea, plus some power of the source sea and the power of the abyss, is my breath."

That pot of tea was left behind by the people who massacred the treasure-stealing group. They copied Yu Shui's knife and Yu Shui's tea, just to expose his hidden identity. What was their purpose?

The only Abyss Chanter Yu Shui has come into contact with so far seems to be Jacob. Will he know anything?

……

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door in the quiet office, which also brought Yu Shui's empty mind back to his senses.

"Who?"

"It's...it's me, Water Goddess Funina!"

Funina...? Why is she here?

Yu Shui stood up and opened the door with confusion. Sure enough, Funina was standing at the door. As soon as the door was opened, she panicked and got in under Yu Shui's arm. She turned around and closed the door with a bang.

A set of combos is extremely smooth.

"Ms. Funina, you..."

"Yu Shui! I... I'll tell you the truth. I know your identity. It was... the other person told me, and she also told me... I don't need to hide the truth around you."

Funina seemed to have just calmed down her breathing before she started to say something that Yu Shui had not yet responded to.

"...So, you know my identity and you still dare to face me alone?"

"Uh…"

Funina seemed to have recalled what happened when she was held hostage by Yu Shui, but isn't she still intact now?

"Anyway...Yu Shui, Leosli and the others have begun to doubt you! Although I don't know your plan, but...but..."

"That's it, I know."

"you know?!"

Funina was confused.

This confused expression made Yu Shui couldn't help but laugh.

This water goddess lady is really as innocent and cute as expected.
