Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: The Shifty-Eyed Fatui

Yae Miko's arrival made Yuuko's body tremble, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Why did he feel like this bad woman was actually angry? He turned around, expecting Yae Miko to say something, but she just glanced at Yuuko and said:

"Yuuko-chan, we'll talk about your new book later. I have something important to handle right now."

With that, Yae Miko swayed her voluptuous body and slowly walked away.

It was only then that Kentarou Ringo, who was standing by, dared to speak:

"I feel like ever since Her Excellency, the General, came to speak with Guuji-sama, Guuji-sama has become more serious than usual..."

"Raiden Shogun..." Yuuko raised an eyebrow slightly.

When he had just arrived, he had bumped into the Raiden Shogun who was about to leave.

Recalling the scene where the Raiden Shogun had unleashed her killing intent on him, Yuuko still found it a bit strange.

"Did something big happen?" Yuuko asked tentatively.

Kentarou Ringo shook her head, "I don't know. Usually, when Her Excellency, the Raiden Shogun, comes to see Guuji-sama, it's for something very important, right?"

"True." Yuuko nodded, then said, "Then, Miss Kantou Ringo, I'll come to play with you next time... Oh no, I'll come to you for a fortune slip."

Kentarou Ringo politely bowed her head to Yuuko: "Please take care, Lord Yuuko."

And so, Yuuko left the Grand Narukami Shrine.

Just as Yuuko was about to return to Inazuma City to continue his manuscript, he suddenly saw several figures moving stealthily in the distance down the mountain.

Upon closer inspection, Yuuko immediately recognized the identities of those few people.

A big fat man, entirely ice-blue, carrying a water gun, and a muscular man in full armor, wielding a large purple hammer.

Weren't these two the Fatui Hydro Fatui and the Fatui Electro Hammer Brother?

Besides the Hydro Fatui and the Fatui Electro Hammer Brother, there were also a few other minor Fatui members secretly moving something.

Although Yuuko hadn't been transmigrated to Teyvat for long, he had some understanding of the various factions in Teyvat.

The Fatui were not a local force of Inazuma but a force from Snezhnaya.

Based on Yuuko's experience of casually taking down a brown-haired Fatui Harbinger during his trip to Liyue, it meant trouble was brewing.

Where the Fatui appeared, it meant bad luck.

The appearance of the Fatui definitely meant nothing good.

After a moment of thought, Yuuko felt that he needed to deal with these Fatui.

After all, he lived in Inazuma. If he allowed the Fatui to cause trouble in Inazuma, his future peace would be gone.

"But before acting, I need to find something to conceal my identity."

Yuuko thought for a moment, then reached into his pocket and rummaged around.

Finally, he pulled out an earthy yellow, exquisitely structured object, similar to a chess piece.

"Got it." Holding the earthy yellow chess piece, Yuuko smiled.

This was given to him by a poor man named Zhongli, who always asked people to eat but never paid, during Yuuko's trip to Liyue.

At that time, Zhongli also told him: "Perhaps cooperating with the Tsaritsa is the method with the greatest chance of success."

Yuuko didn't understand what that poor man Zhongli meant at the time, but since he had paid for so many meals, he definitely had to accept this item to recoup his losses.

Now, with this item, Yuuko could use Geo Elemental Power at any time.

It was even more useful than a Vision, so Yuuko always carried it with him.

Though Yuuko didn't understand the principle behind it.

With a thought, the earthy yellow chess piece in his hand emitted a faint glow.

Subsequently, Geo Element continuously condensed from the air, gathering in Yuuko's hand, and soon, a mask formed from Geo Element appeared in Yuuko's hand.

The mask was very light and thin, a yellow fox mask.

"I won't kill them yet; I'll just intimidate them and force them to reveal why they're loitering here."

After putting on the yellow fox mask, Yuuko made his decision for later... "Hurry up, this is at the foot of the shrine mountain, there are many people coming and going, don't let anyone discover us!"

On the other side, the Fatui Electro Hammer Brother and the Hydro Fatui were urging the minor Fatui members to move things.

The items the Fatui were moving were mostly tools or implements.

They were all very ordinary items and tools that might be used in daily life.

If a group of ordinary workers were moving them, outsiders might not notice anything at all.

But if these shifty-eyed Fatui were moving them, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Just as the Fatui were moving things, a figure suddenly appeared on the path in front of them.

That figure was gentle and refined, handsome and elegant, extraordinary in demeanor, dashing and dignified... well, almost half as handsome as the reader.

Of course, these weren't the main points. The main point was that the person's face was adorned with a yellow fox mask, which was very eye-catching.

"Who is it! How dare you block the path of us Fatui!"

A blocker appeared in front. The irritable Fatui Electro Hammer Brother was about to swing his hammer and charge forward.

But he was held back by the Hydro Fatui behind him.

The Fatui Electro Hammer Brother frowned slightly, turned to look at the Hydro Fatui behind him, and asked in a low voice:

"What's wrong? That person in front might be a Shuumatsuban ninja. If we don't deal with them quickly, our subsequent operation plan could easily be exposed."

The Hydro Fatui hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Brother Electro Hammer, it would be fine if that person were a Shuumatsuban ninja, but the mask that person is wearing..."

Hearing this, the Fatui Electro Hammer Brother frowned again:

"Are you talking about... the person the Lady mentioned... the Yellow Fox?"

The Hydro Fatui nodded quickly:

"Yes, wasn't it when the Lady and Childe were in Liyue on business that they encountered a person wearing a yellow fox mask?"

It is said that Childe was severely injured at the time, and even the Lady's long-planned scheme was disrupted, forcing all the Fatui to withdraw from Liyue!"

Hearing this, the Fatui Electro Hammer Brother's expression turned serious. He turned his head, carefully looked at the mask on the face of the person blocking their way, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, the Fatui Electro Hammer Brother snorted coldly:

"Hmph! How could it be that evil! He only appeared in Liyue before, how could he have run to Inazuma now!"

And I don't believe Childe and the Lady would be no match for just one person!"

With that, the Fatui Electro Hammer Brother turned sideways, swung his large hammer with both hands, let out a loud roar, and charged straight towards The person wearing the Yellow Fox Mask.

As he charged, the large hammer in the Fatui Electro Hammer Brother's hand dragged a long scratch on the ground, creating an immense momentum.

At this moment, the Fatui Electro Hammer Brother was like a god of war, exuding a powerful aura that could kill gods and Buddhas alike.

Charging in front of The person wearing the Yellow Fox Mask, the Fatui Electro Hammer Brother swung his large hammer and smashed it fiercely towards The person wearing the Yellow Fox Mask:

"Die!"

This hammer strike was full of oppressive force. Then... the Fatui Electro Hammer Brother was instantly defeated... The person wearing the Yellow Fox Mask only threw one punch, and the Fatui Electro Hammer Brother, along with his hammer, flew backward, dying on the spot...
