Genshin Impact: My roommate and I became funny Hilichurls

Page 4

"No way! What kind of outrageous talk is that! Even the legendary Akina racer isn't as fast as you!!!"

Zhang Chu squatted down and examined her closely: "Her outfit... is it the one worn by the heroine Ying from Genshin Impact?"

Gu Qian's enormous size caused the ground to tremble slightly as he ran.

Seeing Ying unconscious, he asked in surprise, "What happened to her?"

Erkang plopped down next to Ying's head, spreading his hands helplessly: "I think I hit her when I fell, turning her into a two-dimensional being. She's like this after I pumped her up, and it looks like she won't wake up anytime soon."

"at this point……"

Qingyu suddenly looked at a fishing rod that was half-finished not far away, with a few fresh earthworms next to it.

"Let's eat first."

Following his gaze, everyone immediately understood—this was clearly the fishing rod that Ying was making.

According to the plot, she was supposed to catch that famous emergency food here... oh no, I mean catch Paimon.

As if some strange switch had been flipped, the four of them instantly entered picnic mode.

Zhang Chu pulled out three parasols from behind his back; Qing Yu magically unfolded four beach chairs; Gu Qian, due to Lei Dou Wang's size, took out a coconut juice that was comparable to a small bucket; Er Kang dragged a professional barbecue grill from somewhere, and thoughtfully prepared Mondstadt's special barbecue sauce on it.

The unconscious Ying was "thoughtfully" placed under the most luxurious parasol by the crowd.

Gu Qian put star-shaped sunglasses on her and stuffed a giant coconut juice with a straw in his arms (almost burying her completely).

Qingyu even covered her with a beach towel printed with the words "Teyvat's Strongest Tool Person".

"so……"

Zhang Chu cast the fishing line, splashing a small spray of water.

"Wouldn't you say we've stolen Paimon's chance to play?"

Er Kang lowered his voice mysteriously.

"Maybe Paimon is lost in some time tunnel... like he's drinking milk right now..."

"Hahahahaha!"

Everyone was immediately amused, and they instantly realized that Erkang was referring to Kiana, the paramecium from the Honkai Impact 3 series.

Sunlight spills across the shimmering lake surface, and a gentle breeze carries the aroma of dandelion wine.

The five of them (including the unconscious Ying) thus began a peculiar picnic on the coast of Teyvat.

Not far away, a small, unconscious white sprite suddenly sneezed and turned around in confusion...

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

"Cough cough cough! What's going on!"

Paimon was surprised to find himself in the sea.

"Aaaaaah! Help! Glug glug glug!"

"Me! Glug glug... I don't know... water! Glug glug glug!"

Chapter 5 Paimon

"Qingyu! Calm down! Calm down!!!"

Zhang Chu, Er Kang, and Gu Qian held Qing Yu tightly, who was clutching a sphere that was flashing a dangerous red light—the "Galaxy Destruction Bomb."

"It's just the Air Force! It's not that serious!"

Erkang held Qingyu tightly around the waist, afraid that he might throw the bomb in a moment of excitement.

"It must be a problem with the fishing rod! The fish are innocent!"

Zhang Chu tried to persuade Qingyu with reason, but Qingyu's rationality had already been completely evaporated by the three hours of air force.

"Destroy them all! Don't stop me!!!"

Qingyu's eyes were bloodshot, and his fur stood on end, making him look like a furious Rei slime.

—If this thing explodes, not only Teyvat, but the nearby Bubble World will be reduced to ashes!

It took the three of them a lot of effort to barely hold him down.

Gu Qian even used Lei Douwang's brute force to prevent Qing Yu from throwing the bomb into the sea.

"Three hours! Three hours! Not a single fish!"

Qingyu roared through gritted teeth.

What's most infuriating is that everyone else got something!

Zhang Chu caught four fish, Er Kang caught five, and Gu Qian only caught one, but that fish... was a shark!

Just him! Bullshit! None! There isn't!

“I’m so angry!!!”

Qingyu stomped his foot in a fit of impotent rage, instantly creating a large crater in the sand.

--at this time.

Qingyu's fishing rod, which was fixed to the ground, suddenly bent sharply, and the fishing line stretched outwards wildly, as if some enormous creature was dragging it from underwater.

Qingyu instantly calmed down, his eyes widening like saucers.

"They've taken the bait?!"

Zhang Chu hurriedly caught the Galaxy Destruction Bomb that Qing Yu had casually tossed aside, and stuffed it back into his four-dimensional pocket, sweating profusely.

Qingyu lunged forward, gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, his muscles tense, and pulled it sharply backward—

"Get up here!!!"

“Swoosh—bang!”

A white shadow flew out of the water, tracing a graceful arc in mid-air, and then—

—It hit Qingyu squarely in the face.

Qingyu grabbed the "fish" on his face in a daze, then looked down—

A round, wet, white creature, its eyes rolled back, hung limply on his hand.

"Um... what kind of fish is this?" Qingyu scratched his head and pinched the "fish's" cheek.

"New varieties?"

"This is Paimon! Not a fish!!!"

Zhang Chu rushed forward, snatched Paimon away, and placed him on the ground for inspection.

"Drowning!"

Zhang Chu frowned and immediately began first aid.

He knelt on one knee, placed his hand on Paimon's lower abdomen, and gently pressed down—

"puff!!!"

Paimon suddenly spat out a mouthful of water, and at the same time—

A lively bass flew out of her mouth and landed squarely on Zhang Chu's face.

Zhang Chu: "..."

Er Kang: "..."

Gu Qian: "..."

The four of them were silent for a second.

"Wow ah ah ah!!!"

Paimon finally caught his breath, sat up abruptly, and looked around in horror.

"Was I...was I just eaten by a fish?!"

Qingyu stared at her, and slowly revealed a smile:

"No, you're the one who got caught."

Paimon: “???”

Hearing that familiar roar, Paimon stiffly twisted his neck.

Looking at the four Hilichurls in front of him, Paimon suddenly felt that it would be better for him to be eaten by the fish.

—And not far away at the bottom of the lake, a surviving bass swam silently, vowing in its heart:

"I'll never eat any white food that can fly again in my life..."

It never expected that this thing would fly straight out of its stomach, taking all the food with it! A whole day's work for nothing!

"Waaaaah! Ugh!"

Paimon was in tears, sobbing as he frantically stuffed grilled fish into his mouth, his cheeks bulging like a hamster's.

—If I get caught by a Hilichurl, I'll die a full-fledged ghoul!

She thought sadly, tears falling onto the grilled fish, adding extra saltiness to the charred fish skin.

Er Kang scratched his head, his expression behind the mask full of confusion: "Why is she crying while eating?"

Qingyu lowered his voice and said, "We are Hilichurls now, we are monsters, of course she is afraid."

Gu Qian sighed: "Can't you explain that we are outsiders who have transmigrated into the bodies of Hilichurls in Teyvat?"

Zhang Chu shrugged: "How do we explain it? She can't understand what we're saying, and we don't know Watt's script either. What are we going to do?"

Gu Qian pondered for a few seconds: "Then there's really no other way."

Erkang glanced at Paimon, then his eyes widened and he shouted, "Never mind that! Paimon's choking to death!"

Everyone turned their heads sharply and saw Paimon's face flushed red, his hands tightly gripping his neck, his short legs flailing wildly in the air—

—She still had a whole grilled fish stuck in her mouth that she hadn't finished eating!

"Holy crap! Emergency! Quick, emergency!"
