Paimon: "You're right, 'Darknight Hero' is way too lame. We need a title with a romantic flair!"
Paimon: "Hmm... let me think..."
Paimon: "Just..."
Diluc: "Just?"
Lumine: "Just?"
Paimon put her hands on her hips: "The! Justice! Man!"
[Paimon: (Hands on hips) The! Justice! Man!]
[Lumine: (Hands on hips) The! Justice! Man!]
[Amber: (Hands on hips) The! Justice! Man!]
[Klee: (Hands on hips) The! Justice! Man!]
[Yun Jin: (Hands on hips) The! Justice! Man!]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: (Hands on hips) The! Justice! Man!]
[Gorou: Her Excellency, Sangonomiya... why are you joining in on this too?]
[Kamisato Ayaka: This is too funny. The! Justice! Man!]
[Diluc: Do not @ me. Out of sight, out of mind.]
Paimon: "So, Mr. Justice Man, what exactly happened?"
Diluc: "It's the Abyss Order."
[Jean: I didn't expect the Abyss Order to be so close to our city walls already.]
[Ningguang: Keqing, inform the Millelith to be extra vigilant during the night.]
[Kujou Sara: The Tenryou Commission will absolutely uphold Her Excellency's decrees and ensure everyone's safety.]
The plot continued as Lumine and Paimon agreed to help Diluc keep his secret.
[Kaeya: Now the entire continent of Teyvat knows Mr. Justice Man.]
[Diluc: Hmph. Focus on your path, Mondstadt's True Lord of Ice-Bridging the Sea!]
After an exchange with Huffman, Lumine found Diluc and told him about the Abyss Order's formal challenge. Some dialogue was skipped, such as Diluc mentioning the Dawn Winery's intelligence network.
Diluc: "They are betting on the friction between me and the Knights. I have already identified one of their strongholds."
[Jean: Senior Diluc, please place a bit more trust in the Knights.]
[Diluc: I have my own methods. There is no need for more words.]
Watching the events in Mondstadt unfold, Ningguang and the others stopped joking in the Elite Room. However, the scene of Diluc and Lumine capturing and interrogating an Abyss Mage chilled many viewers.
Paimon: "Master Diluc has officially taken the number one spot on 'Paimon's List of People You Must Never Mess With'."
[Charles: No one is going to dare default on their tab now. Just a moment ago the tavern was shouting 'Justice Man,' and now everyone is back to 'Master Diluc.']
Diluc's methods and the intensity of his flames during the interrogation scared quite a few people. Meanwhile, back in Mondstadt, Huffman was speaking to Lumine.
Huffman: "We must discover the true identity of the Darknight Hero and place him under protection."
Paimon: "Protection?"
Huffman: "Shh! Actually, 'protection' is just a cover. The Knights want to take over this matter to restore the people's trust in the Knights of Favonius."
The bullet comments began to flood the screen.
"Our Knights of Favonius are quite reliable after all."
"Our Liyue Millelith are also very dependable."
"Our Inazuma..."
"Inazuma has the Shogun's Army!"
"Our friends from Inazuma don't sound very confident when they say that."
Huffman: "The Abyss Order comes with ill intent. We must handle this carefully."
At that moment, Kaeya walked into the frame on screen.
[Xingqiu: True Lord of Ice-Bridging the Sea, you're on camera!]
[Beidou: How far has the True Lord of Ice-Bridging the Sea made it?]
[Kaeya: Freeze! ...What were you saying? ...Cool it! I'm almost halfway there. This is exhausting.]
On the broadcast, the image of Kaeya appeared clearly.
「Ding—Live Q&A. Please choose: What is Kaeya's identity?」
1: True Lord of Ice-Bridging the Sea2: Diluc's romantic rival3: Mondstadt's famous pirate4: A captain from Dornman Port5: A member of a secret thieves' guild6: Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius
「Ordinary Live Room: Fifty spots available. Correct answer rewards 30,000 Mora. Wrong answer results in hopping on one leg for an entire day」
「Note: Residents of the Mondstadt region are forbidden from answering, revealing the answer, or being selected. Violators face double punishment」
[Sara (Good Hunter): This is a total giveaway!]
[Amber: Haha! For anyone in Mondstadt, this is literally free money. People of Liyue and Inazuma, make sure you grab this!]
**[Klee: Klee knows the answer! Kaeya-gege is the ****]
「Detection: Klee revealed the answer. Punishment: Jean must spank Klee for five minutes」
[Jean: ????]
[Klee: Klee was wrong! Klee won't do it again!]
[Diona: This is terrifying.]
[Barbara: Sister, please be gentle!]
[Jean: My body is moving on its own! I'm just a tool for the system right now!]
[Noelle: This is a total free-point question.]
[Razor: I... am also... Mondstadt area. Why... I don't know answer?]
Seeing the people of Mondstadt laughing and calling it a "giveaway," the people of Inazuma and Liyue were completely confused. You know, but we don't! However, some Liyue merchants who had traveled to Mondstadt knew the truth and prepared to strike.
[Arataki Itto: This young master isn't afraid. I'm going to guess!]
[Xinyan: Who's afraid? I'm grabbing it too. This is way easier than the last one!]
[Qiqi: If Qiqi gets it right... can I drink coconut milk?]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: This question indeed has points worth analyzing.]
