Genshin Impact: One Soul in Two Bodies

Mondstadt.

At the city gates.

It seems there's nothing out of the ordinary...

As she reached the stone bridge, looking at the city gates that appeared just as they always did, Eula thought similarly.

After seeing the massive Lawachurl embedded deep within the mountainside by an unknown force yesterday, she had begun searching the vicinity, but ultimately found nothing.

Afterwards, she took this information and returned to Mondstadt, hoping to warn the people within the city.

However, halfway back, she suddenly worried that Mondstadt might have already fallen victim to the unknown force, and immediately picked up her pace.

As luck would have it, she happened upon a Fatui skirmisher and decided to deal with him along the way.

Then, with the help of a black-haired youth, she successfully dealt with the Fatui skirmisher.

Although she could have dealt with the Fatui skirmisher without the black-haired youth's help, he still left a rather deep impression on her.

After all, besides his uncommon black hair and black eyes, the fact that he didn't use a weapon was also quite perplexing to her.

Moreover, while his strength seemed considerable, his attack movements appeared quite clumsy, which was very strange.

Never mind… let's not dwell on this for now…

As she reached the city gates, feeling the guards' gazes turn somewhat strange, Eula decided not to dwell on it. She needed to head to the Knights of Favonius Headquarters to report her findings to Acting Grand Master Jean.

"Isn't this our Wave Knight from the Knights of Favonius? What a rare sight."

The moment she stepped inside the city, Eula heard Kaeya's voice.

Following the sound, she saw Kaeya up ahead, seemingly chatting with someone.

"Captain Kaeya."

"Has something happened? You seem to be in a bit of a hurry."

"I have something to report to the Acting Grand Master."

"Then I'll listen in."

With that, Kaeya led the way towards the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.

Although he wanted to know what Eula had to report right then, since she was going to report it to the Acting Grand Master, he might as well listen in.

In fact, he already had a suspicion: it might be related to what happened at the side gate.

If so, that would give him even more clues.

————————————————

Knights of Favonius Headquarters.

"Kaeya, is something the matter?"

Seeing Kaeya enter, Jean, who had been working at her desk, looked up at him.

"I don't have anything myself, but Eula has something to report to you, and I came to listen in."

Waving a hand, Kaeya directly stated his purpose.

Eula…

I wonder what she has to report...

It was unexpected that Eula had returned; Jean couldn't help but wonder what she had to report.

Normally, Eula was out on long-term patrol with her unit, rarely returning to Mondstadt.

Therefore, Jean immediately realized that whatever Eula had to report might not be simple.

Combined with what had happened at the side gate earlier, she couldn't help but feel a growing sense of worry.

One must understand, whatever caused that kind of destruction at the side gate was no ordinary foe.

"Acting Grand Master, don't worry. It might not be related to what happened at the side gate. Perhaps our Wave Knight has achieved another great feat."

After speaking, Kaeya chuckled.

He knew what Jean was worried about, but he still wanted her not to worry too much.

Although he had come for this very reason, he felt it wasn't necessarily the case.

"You probably came for that very possibility, didn't you?"

"Well, people… always have to…"

Knock, knock, knock—

Just as Kaeya was about to say something, a knock sounded at the office door.

"Come in."

Guessing it was Eula who had arrived, Jean invited her in.

"Acting Grand Master, yesterday, at Stormbearer Mountains..."

The moment she entered, Eula immediately reported what she had discovered yesterday at Stormbearer Mountains.

"Embedded a Lawachurl into the mountainside? And very deep at that?" After hearing Eula's report, Kaeya muttered to himself for a moment, then continued, "The power required to do something like that is quite astonishing. What about the combat traces around there...?"

"Aside from the embedded Lawachurl, there were no combat traces around. Nor did I see anyone there."

Before Kaeya could finish, Eula had already spoken.

"No combat traces?" Jean seemed quite surprised.

Because if that were the case, the Lawachurl was clearly embedded into the mountainside with a single blow.

"So that means the Lawachurl was slapped into the mountainside by some mysterious person or thing?"

By the end, Kaeya couldn't help but laugh.

But laughter aside, Kaeya understood that the Lawachurl incident at Stormbearer Mountains was very likely connected to the events at the side gate.

Because both incidents shared a common characteristic: they were the result of a single strike.

Whether it was at the side gate, or the Lawachurl embedded in the mountainside at Stormbearer Mountains, there was only one attack.

Evidently, the perpetrator's power was immense, capable of causing destruction far exceeding that at the side gate.

After all, it was just a single blow. If there had been multiple attacks, it would have been even more terrifying.

"Kaeya, how are your investigations into the matter concerning the young man named Kaito progressing?"

Frowning, Jean looked at Kaeya.

Kaeya had shared his suspicions with her before, which was why she asked.

"Still no discoveries. And yesterday, he and Amber were in another location. Of course, it's also possible they just found the wrong place and took their anger out on a Lawachurl." Kaeya shook his head, having found nothing yet.

"Kaito? Acting Grand Master, what are you talking about? Why did the topic suddenly shift to someone named Kaito? What happened to him?"

At this point, Eula, listening to their conversation, looked utterly puzzled. She didn't understand why the topic had suddenly shifted to this person named Kaito.

"It's like this..."

Seeing Eula's confusion, Jean proceeded to explain to her.

"The side gate was attacked?" Hearing this news, Eula was greatly surprised. There was also something else she was particularly concerned about: "And that black-haired youth you mentioned, he wouldn't happen to be the one I encountered on my way back, would he? He helped me out."

"Oh? So you two know each other now?" Kaeya immediately perked up with interest.

"Not really, I didn't even know his name at the time."

Eula shook her head.

There was nothing she could do; she had been in too much of a hurry then.

"Meeting again counts as knowing each other. Anyway, if you get the chance, try to get acquainted with him. You might discover something."

Smiling, Kaeya offered this suggestion to Eula.

According to his observations, Kaito always seemed to prefer venturing outside the city. Thus, Eula, who also spent long periods outside the city, was quite a perfect match for him in terms of space.
