Genshin Impact: One Soul in Two Bodies

Compared to the game... there are quite a lot of people.

Walking out of the house and heading towards the city gate, Kaito couldn't help but think this as he watched the people coming and going on the road.

You know, it wasn't this lively in the game.

Hmm... Kaeya?

As Kaito approached the city gate, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure standing by the gate, seemingly chatting with someone.

Kaito had to admit, the moment he saw him, a bad feeling crept over him, especially since he had been followed by him not long ago.

Clearly, Kaeya was suspicious of something, but Kaito didn't know what exactly.

But this wasn't the time to dwell on it; Kaito still needed to head out of the city to find Amber.

Maybe Kaito should greet him and thank him for his previous help as he passed by...

Thinking this, Kaito continued to walk forward as if nothing was amiss.

As he drew closer to the city gate, he gradually began to hear Kaeya's voice.

"Looks like things have calmed down again..."

Calmed down? What happened...

"Isn't this Amber's friend? How are you? Have you recovered well?"

Just as Kaito was pondering the meaning of that remark, Kaeya, who had noticed him approaching, spoke up.

"Not bad." Kaito nodded, having stopped, and then continued, "About last time..."

"It was nothing, don't mention it."

Knowing what Kaito was about to say, Kaeya waved his hand, indicating there was no need to be polite.

Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Oh, right, you can call me Kaeya, the Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius. Welcome to Mondstadt."

From beginning to end, Kaeya kept his gaze fixed on Kaito, as if trying to discern something.

"Just call me Kaito, Captain Kaeya."

Meeting Kaeya's gaze, Kaito maintained a polite smile.

"Amber told me your name. And just call me Kaeya, no need to add 'Captain'."

"Well then, I'll be going. I have a commission waiting for me, or I'll run out of money."

Nodding, Kaito turned and walked out of the city.

Just how many secrets do you carry, outsider...?

Watching Kaito's receding back, Kaeya wore a contemplative expression.

Currently, he still had no evidence linking the incident at the side gate to Kaito. Moreover, since the attack on the side gate, nothing similar had occurred.

More importantly, based on his previous surveillance, the young man named Kaito seemed unable to even defeat a Hilichurl King.

If that were truly the case, then pursuing and eliminating him would be far too easy.

Perhaps he was overthinking it? Maybe the incident at the side gate had nothing to do with him at all?

As he pondered, Kaeya couldn't help but furrow his brow.

He had initially thought that a powerful individual was hunting Kaito, and had attacked the side gate as a warning to Mondstadt for taking him in.

But currently, that theory seemed unlikely; after all, he was too weak.

If someone truly powerful were hunting him, he probably wouldn't have even made it to Mondstadt.

However, Kaeya also knew that what he had seen earlier might not have been Kaito's true strength. Moreover, a young girl named Wendy had appeared by Kaito's side, and they seemed quite familiar with each other.

He still needed to continue observing...

After some thought, Kaeya came to this conclusion.

Outside the city.

That "True Lord of Crossing the Sea" isn't tracking me again, is he...?

Walking on the road to Whispering Woods, Kaito couldn't help but think this.

Now, with Wendy over at Windrise, it was hard for him to tell if Kaeya was still following him on his own.

Should he ask Wendy to...

Thud-thud-thud—

Just as Kaito was wondering if he should have Wendy fly over, a chaotic flurry of footsteps came from ahead.

A Debt Collector?

Looking up, Kaito saw a Fatui Debt Collector running towards him, constantly glancing back as if something terrifying was pursuing him.

"Stop right there!"

Then, a familiar voice called out from behind.

Eula?

Ah, I see...

Kaito understood, and then delivered a punch to the face of the Debt Collector, who was running towards him but kept looking back.

"Ugh..."

Caught off guard by a heavy punch, the Debt Collector flew backward, then was swiftly taken down by Eula, who had just arrived with a sword.

Hiss... That hurt like hell...

He couldn't help but shake his fist, the pain radiating from it making Kaito suck in a sharp breath. It really hurt.

"Do you need that bandaged?"

Eula, who had walked over, asked this as she watched Kaito shaking his fist.

After all, he had helped her, so she should help him in return.

"No need, it'll heal quickly."

Shaking his head, Kaito averted his gaze from his fist, indicating he didn't need bandaging because he recovered quickly.

This is our second meeting...

Looking at Eula before him, Kaito couldn't help but think this, though he knew she certainly wouldn't believe it.

"You don't seem like someone who can't fight. How come you don't even have a weapon?"

Eula scrutinized the black-haired young man before her from head to toe, a hint of confusion on her delicate face.

That strike earlier clearly wasn't something an ordinary person could deliver. While his stance for exerting force wasn't quite right, the attack power was considerable.

So, Eula was still quite curious why the other party didn't have a weapon.

"Well..."

Kaito had to admit, he was stumped by the question. He really hadn't thought about buying himself a weapon.

After all, not long ago he was just an ordinary person and hadn't even considered the matter of a weapon.

But this also reminded him that he really did need to get a weapon.

"Why are you so slow? I have things to do, so I'm leaving first. Thanks for what you did earlier!"

Finding Kaito quite slow, and having other matters to attend to, Eula hurried off towards Mondstadt after saying that.

So rushed... Did something happen?

Watching Eula's back, Kaito couldn't help but think this.

But whether she was rushed or not didn't concern him; he also had things he needed to do.

Sigh... This mission is too difficult...

Withdrawing his gaze, Kaito continued walking towards his destination. He needed to figure out a way to complete that mission.
