What? I Prefer Defend The City.

GROOOOAAAAAAR!!

The flying giant lizard is here, Amber is in panic state but snap it off in a second, she has a strong will, isnt she?

Then a big surge of wind created from the dragon by flapping it's wings and created some decent sized tornados, I've seen some big tornado in US on YT and that was hella scared the hell out of me if suddenly some cows thrown at me from the tornado.

Enough rambling, the citizen are scared from this hellish scenery. Everything is flying, well, not everything but yeah, oi! One of the tornado is coming toward me!

"Everyone hold on to me! [Bind]!" As I shouted my skill, I'm able to grasp Amber's hand, but when I tried to grab Lumine's hand, she's tripped and she almost fall but the tornado pull her whole body and she flew over upwards, where is Paimon you ask? I think she is in her sub-space or something, sometimes she is suddenly gone or appear, she said it was something like her innate talent. Can I learn that from her? I should ask her later.

"Tch, Amber, stay here and evacuate the the citizen! I'm going to catch up to Lumine!"

"But- okay! Please be safe! May the Anemo God protect you."

I ran off towards the tornado and while at it I also grab some tough and water resistant looking cloth for the emergency case.

"Okay, I'm ready, heave ho! Uwaaaaaah!!! I believe I can fly!"

Dang it! The wind force is too strong! I should borrow Amber's pilot glasses!

As I keep flying upwards, I make the makeshift parachute in a hurry, when I feel the wind force reduced and I'm thrown quite high in the air, I spread the parachute and I can observe the situation from above.

"Kazuma! Why are you here!" is that Lumine? She is behind me, I think.

"Yo! Amber really worried about you, so I came." actually I kinda worried too, b-but I'm not lying okay?

"Tsu- tsundere was it?"

"N-no I'm not! I'm glad that you're fine, Amber almost crying down there you know? Let's apologize to her later."

Lumine gave me a nod for the answer. Well, our small reunion is really small like how it sound.

HUGROOOOOOOWR!

Geh, the big boi is here. I use the [Enemy Detection] to make sure it's really hostile or not, but the answer still the same like before.

"Let me help you to repel his rampage, dear traveler- s? Why is there two travelers?" a chirming voice like a bell appears in both of our head, something like telepathy?

"She have some circumstances, but I don't know why I'm included too." I answered that 'guy' who is in my head.

"Uh, okay. Let me guide you, use the power of anemo to shoot the Dva- Stormterror, don't hurt it too much, if possible shot the purple crystals on it's nape."

"Easier said than done, I don't have Anemo power, you can guide her instead, I'll do something depends on the situation."

"Okay." this guy is quite docile huh.

It seems he explains to Lumine stright to her head because I didn't hear anything except the grumbling sounds from this big lizard.

"Kazuma, I will shot the crystal, how about you?" asked Lumine.

"Hmmm, you keep shooting, hey you, a person who talk to our head, can you blow a strong wind and push me towards that liza- dragon, just right behind it's back is enough."

"Oka- oi, did you just- call him a lizard aren't you?"

"Yup, just do your job already."

"He didn't denied it, and very rude too... Okay then, but don't hurt him too much okay?"

"Yeah yeah, I'll try not to hurt him, perhaps."

"This guy..... Missy, you can shoot it now, and for you... here." as Lumine start shooting something like in 'shoot em up' game, the irritated boy blow the strong wind feom behind me.

I put the parachute on my back and prepare my lasso and the fish hook from before.

"This is close enough, please works, grappling hook!"

The hooks seems stuck at the dragon's scale near it's front wings, I pull the rope and landed on it's back, riding the dragon's back isn't just a mere dream anymore.

"The purple crystals huh, I getting the chills like that red stone, should I pluck it out? No, I don't want to touch it, but I'll do as much as I can."

Lumine seems used her new power and shoot the crystal almost perfectly on target, as for me, I have another plan but I should ask someone first.

"Hey! Can I drain this big boy life energy?"

"Eh? You can? Ummm, sure then."

"Permission has been granted! Here we go! [Drain Touch]!!!"

Damn, what a big life force energy! I keep draining it's life energy until the energy is enough for me to cast one big spell.

"I'll hurt this friend of yours for a moment!" I start preparing the spell that what i want to use, I need some time just to cast this spell.

"!!! He using Dvalin's magical energy to cast a spell?! He isn't a vision user but, this is interesting But I'm really worried now." I think I heard he is saying something about me, but I need to focus to use this spell.

"It's ready! Prepare for the shockwave! [Explosion]!" I cast [explosion] in front of the crystal that planted on the back of the dragon's neck, I hope this works.

*KABOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

GRAAAAAAAAAAAW!!!!

My [explosion] isn't as powerful as Megumin's, but the shockwave is almost on par with hers.

It seems the hook and lasso thrown up because the explosion, how about me? Yeah, me too of course,

"Kyaaa!" sorry Lumine.

After the explosion, I can see 1 of the 2 crystal is gone and leave some mark on the dragon's nape.

"Ooooi that was a dangerous magic you use there, my poor friend!" that boy voices screamed in my head.

"Shut up! You are too loud! At least the crystal is gone, right? I bet that friend of yours have a regeneration skill because he is a dragon, right?" Just some common RPG and Fantasy trivia tho.

"I don't know where did you get that information but, you are right. Ah! He ran away! Or fly away?" what the heck, just pick one.

"Is it fine to let him escape?" said Lumine while grabbing my cape.

"It's fine, I think he is going to his nest, to rest his body because someone hurt him."

"That's not my fault okay? I can't go near that crystal, I can feel that if I touch that crystal, my life energy will sucked until I dread out."

"Is that so? Mmmm, thank you for helping my friend, I must see his condition now, see ya~" he ran away too, where is my reward.

"Should we go down?" asked Lumine.

"Well, we should."

A few moments later we landed near the big statue in front of Barbatos Curch.

"Haaaaaah, the mother earth!" I shout like that while hugging the ground.

"Are you two okay? Any injury? Why are you hugging the ground?" Asked amber while worried then confused from seeing my action.

"We are fine, and Kazuma, you really reckless aren't you? And thank you Amber, for worried about me." am I getting scolded?

"Ahahaha, we are friend aren't we?"

"A friend huh" said Lumine with a small voice.

"Hee, so you didnt consider me as your friend huh, this lone man is sad~" I teased Lumine and Amber then these two are in panic and said I am their friend too, heh, that's cute. Where is our flying companion in this warm situation? Its still windy tho.

*clap- *clap- *clap. What a magnificent slow clap, but I found this annoying somehow.

"You actually got a power to go up against the dragon huh.... Are you a new ally..... or the new storm?" What the heck is he saying, we keep silent for a moment but Amber broke the silent situation.

"The Stormterror... is attacking Mondstat itself." calm down Amber-chan.

"Captain Kaeya, Lumine, Kazuma, you've come at the right time. We must-"

"Hold on, Amber. Are you perhaps forgetting to introduce us?" Hee this dark blue haired man with a weird fashion sense is a captain.

"Oh... right. This is Captain Kaeya, our Cavalry Captain."

"Hee~" I said uninterestingly.

"..." the Captain is glaring at me, no thanks dude, I'm not into man.

".... These two are travelers from the far away place, Lumine and Kazuma-"And Paimon!"" Here you are little buddy.

"Hey kid-"It's Kazuma" -Kazuma, do you have a problem with me?" heh, sharp guy.

"Well no, but actually yes."

"Hou- can I ask you what is it?" huuuu so scary~

"Cavalry Captain walking around instead using his horse, are you really a 'Cavalry' Captain?" this really make me curious.

"Now that you mentioned it, I don't know if you have a horse, Captain." Amber kinda curious too, I pat her head and stare at the 'Cavalry' Captain or something.

"Heh-" I sneered at him.

"Ugh, I-I have it you know, did you forget that our commander and Grand Master brought more than half of Knights of Favonius? Our commander brought all of the hourse from the HQ you see." doubt.

"Heee-"

"I-i am not l-lying okay."

"I will ask Master Jean later." Amber said with serious expression.

"Ugh, not Jean please. *cough. Anyway, The Acting Grandmaster want to meet you.

"Lead the way dear 'Cavalry' Captain Kaeya." holy smoke, teasing this grown up man is so fun.

"*whisper* goddamnit, Sure."

Kaeye lead the way to their HQ, errr- Knight of Flafournes or something. Wait, ya'all gliding? Eh, I'm the only one left. I wonder if my parachute would works in this height.

"Come on, let's go inside. Where is Kazuma?" Amber noticed that I'm not there.

"I'm up here, I don't have glider you see, wait a second." I tried to make another grappling hook, the last one is flying somewhere, aaaand done.

"What is he doing?" asked Kaeya.

"He is at it again, he can make anything as long as he have the material." come on Paimon, no need to praise me.

I threw the hook at the horizontal pole at the side of the HQ's wall and jump.

"Fuh- That wasn't bad."

"You are quite smart bo-"It's Kazuma" ah yeah that." can I steal his coin pouch later?

As we go inside we halted by the guards inside the HQ.

"Hold up right there! Captain, why are you brought some stranger inside the HQ, no matter who they are at least report to the grandmaster first." why all of the guards like this?

"Calm down, they are the one who repel the Stormterror, even if you tried to fight with them, I bet all of your arses going to be wiped out." that's a nice one doc.

"Wha- "[Bind]" eh? I can't move?" I hope I learned [Silent] from the dark mage.

"You are quite something b-Kazuma."

"I can strip all of his armor and weapon if I want."

"Damn, that's cool. Anyway, let's go inside the Grandmaster office."

Kaeya lead the way again, and we go inside the office.

"Jean, I've brought them." he explain a lot of things to his boss I guess?

"And once it was over I brought them here."

"Mondstadt welcomes you, windborne travelers." fuh- she is ho- I mean pretty.

"I am Jean, Acting Grand Master of the Knight of Favonius. This is Lisa, our resident Librarian." Jean introduced herself and there is another hot one when I look at her left.

"Ara~ Are you cuties and the.... norm- handsome one there to help us out?" she want to call me 'normal looking one' isn't she? I'm going to steal your panties later.

"Sadly, the timing is regrettable-"Yeah it is.""

"..."

"Why are you all looking at me like that, I'm not wrong."

And then they talking about the effect from Stormterror rampaging around, skin problem because the elemental particle, wich tea is the best during breaks, how to cook Paimon.

Thay agreed to help Lumine find her brother with posting a missing person pamphlet all over Mondstadt. And now they are planning to swipe out the storm over the city by destroying the core like thing in the- domain? Something like small dungeon I guess. There are 4 of them, 3 of them is inside the dungeon like thingy, and the other one is....

"Time is running out, the storm is rampant. There is no point in maintaining a defensive position." said Jean.

"Objection!" I shout out loud.

"What is your complaint, let's hear it." asked Lisa-san.

"Can you tell me who is on the side to go? If it's all the powerhouse of the city go all out, what are you going to do if there are something attacking the city while all of you are not here? I heard the Hilichurl or something are making some forts near the surroinding area, right Amber?

"Yeah, I saw some of them near the woods." said Amber.

"I planned to brought Amber, Kaeya, Lisa, and me, I hope both of you can help us too, after the The Wolf Temple, I planned to let Amber come back to the fort bridge." said Jean.

"*sigh, let me help you to defend the fort, I don't have any vision power like all of you, at least I can make some traps and barricade."

"You don't have a vison but able to fend off the Stormterror?" asked Kaeya with surprised face.

"Well, that are some condition for me to cast [Explosion] like some huge magical energy from the Stormterror itself."

"Understood, I accept your proposal. Please defend the city when we are gone."

"Okay, I demand some money and place to sleep. *whisper* I'm really tired to be honest. Hey, Lumine, how the heck you are not tired yet? Are you a masochist or something?"

"Maso- what?"

"Nevermind"
