Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

Chapter 679 Brother

"Please rest assured, I will fulfill the agreement between the travelers and you. But before that, I think your reason for looking for the Red King's legacy no longer exists... Even so, do you still want to know its location?"

Inside the Jingshan Palace, Rosaline, dressed in a white dress, was negotiating face to face with the Little Auspicious Grass King, who had now officially taken over Xumi. Standing behind her was Dardalia, who had come with her.

"What do you mean? You are one of the Seven Great Rulers of the Mortal World. Now you want to deny your debt. If that's the case, there's no need to make these excuses... If you don't want to talk, then use your fists to speak."

Compared to Rosaline, who was relatively calm but a little indifferent, Tartaglia was obviously much more belligerent and irritable.

Not only did he have a bad tone, but elemental power had even begun to gather in his body, as if he was ready to transform and start fighting the moment a disagreement occurred.

This matter concerns his partner, and the other party kept making excuses, which really annoyed him.

What an ungrateful thing she is. Her partner clearly sacrificed himself for Xumi, and now he is just asking her to fulfill the agreement without requiring her to pay any price.

The subsequent exploration will naturally be under the full responsibility of the Fatui. Even if it is really a taboo, it is the Fatui who will bear the price... This ungrateful person is still so long-winded.

"You've been following Zuo Xi for so long, why are you still so impatient... Just listen to what she has to say first."

Rosaline frowned. Although she was also dissatisfied with the other party's evasion, she also felt that Tartaglia was indeed too impatient.

She didn't think that the little auspicious grass king wanted to default on his debt, and even if he did, it wouldn't be in this way.

"Humph……"

Tartaglia snorted coldly, but didn't get angry after all. As I said, when it comes to partners, there can't be any mistakes.

He was naturally aware of his impulsive personality, and it was easy for him to do bad things in certain situations... If it was other things, it would be fine, but he didn't want his friends to really leave because of him.

"Little god of Xumi, you'd better give a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, the Fatui can help you take back Xumi, or they can make you lose Xumi again."

Seeing that Tartaglia had calmed down, Rosaline resumed negotiations with the Little Lucky Grass King.

She was willing to give the other party a chance to explain, hoping that the other party would not be so ungrateful... After all, she was unwilling to really destroy the Xumi that Zuo Xi risked her life to save.

And if Zuo Xi were still alive, he probably wouldn't allow this to happen...

But if this little Auspicious Grass King is really so ungrateful, he would rather guard the taboo than reveal the location of the place where Zuo Xi might be resurrected.

Then she wouldn't mind using some extraordinary means...means that would not destroy Xumi but would make the country suffer. Many executive officers were well aware of this.

"Hmm... you guys really don't know yet..."

Nashida crossed her arms, looking as if to say, “As I expected.”

Judging from the time, they might have left Zhidong and rushed to Xumi before Zuo Xi was resurrected, and their purpose was to resurrect Zuo Xi... Zuo Xi really has a good relationship with people.

"I don't have time to play riddles with you. Just make your point clear."

Rosalin frowned again. Although her personality had changed a lot after her rebirth, it didn't mean that she would have enough patience for everything.

She was already unhappy with everyone and in a very bad mood. Now this little Lucky Grass King spoke like a riddler, which really annoyed her.

"Sorry, this is a bad habit of mine... Actually the reason is very simple, you thought of using the power in the Courtyard of Silence in order to revive Zuo Xi, right?

But, Zuo Xi has been resurrected now, right?"

……

"I understand, Father."

After hearing the news that Alecino told her, Natalia was very calm. She didn't cry or make a scene, nor was she distracted.

She just said calmly, "I know," and that was all.

"…You should take a few days off. This is an order."

Alechino didn't say much, just forced him to take a few days off to do what he wanted. Then he left the room. The three little ones outside the door had already arrived.

"Give her some more guidance."

Everyone looks different when they are sad, and some people will subconsciously escape when they are extremely sad.

Natalia looked normal now, but normality was the biggest abnormality at this moment. If Natalia rolled over, paced, cried and made a fuss, Arlecchino might be more relieved.

But the other party was so quiet that she was a little worried... The child's current mental state must be very bad.

Alechino took over the Hearth House and asked the children there to pay more attention to themselves than to the tasks. She asked the children to find their own meaning and what they wanted to do in their hearts.

Natalia has undoubtedly done this, or rather, she has known what she wanted from the beginning.

Alechino congratulated her on finding the meaning of her life and was willing to let her do what she wanted to do... Of course, she did not waste this free condition.

Anyway, Natalia wanted to go to Motar to serve him, so she went with the flow and asked Motar for some benefits... the promise to resolve the Fontaine crisis.

Now the person who made this promise has passed away, and with him have also passed away Natalia's wish and the meaning of her life.

But she, as the "father" to all of them, is not actually very good at dealing with her children's mental health.

I think only other people who are also "children" can give more guidance.

"Yes, Father."

Linnie bowed, but his expression and movements were a little hesitant.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Alechino could tell at a glance that Lini and the others were hesitant to speak, and he could roughly guess what they wanted to say.

"Yes, father... father, Lord Mortal, has he really...?"

Linnie took a deep breath and asked Alecino tentatively.

"……Ugh."

Alecino did not answer. After a sigh, there was no trace of her in the room.

That sigh seemed to weigh as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it made the three people in the room feel a little breathless. That adult... had he really passed away?

In fact, as an intelligence worker, Linny has always been aware of the relevant gossip. However, he never believed it too much, so he did not tell Linnet and Femini.

The most difficult and tedious part of intelligence work is not collecting intelligence, but screening intelligence. It is not only necessary to screen the truth of intelligence, but also the value of intelligence.

The news of Lord [Mortal]'s death was fake at first glance, and when Linni received this information, he quickly classified it as junk information.

But then, my father brought the same news... It was hard to imagine that the news of that adult's death was actually true.

No matter how hard it is to believe, my father would not joke about such a thing. So, the executive officer who treated them like a scumbag brother has died.

“Brother…”

After Alechino left, Linnet finally raised her head, which had been lowered all the time. The tears in her eyes could no longer be restrained, and fell like pearls.

What Alechino said at the funeral, "The children will cry," was not a joke. There were many people in the Hearth House who shed tears for Motar.

In fact, it stands to reason that the three of them don't have a very deep friendship with the executive officer, and the entire Hearth House doesn't seem to have any intersection with Zuo Xi.

But Zuo Xi, that guy, loved to go to the Hearth House from time to time. Unlike other countries in Teyvat, Fontaine and Natta were countries that Zuo Xi had already contacted before he officially started the plan.

Nata was there because he needed to negotiate the arms export, and Fontaine was there because he needed to learn from Fontaine’s energy system to build a workshop.

It just so happened that the Hearth House had a base there, and Alechino would often stay in Fontaine, so Zuo Xi liked to visit when she had nothing to do.

Over time, he established a good relationship with the children here... Although he didn't like little brats very much, the little brats in the Hearth House were indeed less annoying in comparison.

In addition, Zuo Xi also provided a lot of black technology and small gifts to the Fireplace House, both openly and secretly. Linnet's "coffee machine that can automatically repair itself with a knock", Femini's "improved turbine-powered diving suit", and Linny's various magic props are all related to Zuo Xi.

Because they had established a good relationship, although they would still respectfully address each other as "Executive Officer" in front of others - this became more obvious when they were a little older - but when they were alone, the three of them would secretly address Zuo Xi as "Brother."

Somehow the other party found out about this. He was obviously not satisfied with the title and asked them to change it.

The reason is simple...

"I am of the same generation as your father. If you call me brother, doesn't that mean that guy Arlecino is also my elder? Change it, you must change it!"

…like this.

But now, the person they secretly called "Brother-sama" has passed away forever.

"What's wrong? You look so sad... Is it that your diving suit doesn't work anymore, Femini? Or that Linette's coffee machine can't be fixed by itself? Or Linnie, your magic trick was exposed?"

When sadness was about to fill this not-so-small space, the door leading inward had already opened without anyone noticing.

The three of them looked over and saw two figures.

One is a perfect attendant with red eyes but still a graceful demeanor, and one of their brothers and sisters - Natalia.

And the other person...

"Onii-sama!"
