Scaramouche and His Idiotic Companion (Genshin Impact/Hunter Crossover)

As the saying goes, transmigration isn't scary. What's scary is getting caught up in the drama yourself.

*Thanks for asking. Just transmigrated, and I'm about to die.*

You, Shan Xiaofang, eighteen years old and an anime fan, were lucky enough to win a chance to transmigrate among billions of people.

Oh, and you got a pretty clever System!

System: I'm not your System.

You: Oh... huh?!!!

The System dragged someone over. He's your System.

You took a closer look and nearly screamed your soul out of your body.

Isn't that the Balladeer from Original Genshin? Are you trying to make my death even more miserable?

The Balladeer sneered. He had no intention of looking after this ugly old woman just because this thing told him to.

System: Once bound, you must obey.

The Balladeer: ...Shit.

*

Even being forced to obey couldn't stop the Balladeer from causing trouble.

He turned around and sent you seven years into the past!

Mission One: Go make friends with others and build up your influence!

The Balladeer relayed the mission: Go beat him up, and beat up everyone nearby while you're at it.

They didn't specify what kind of influence, after all.

You: Really? There's actually a mission that goes against all morals?

Mission Two: Make a "friendly" (emphasis intended) request to stay with someone!

The Balladeer: "Friendly"? Hah. Beat them up until they agree.

You: ? Isn't that a bit much...?

Mission Three: As someone determined to become strong, let's start training!

The Balladeer glanced up. Hmm... (How can I make this even more unpleasant for her?)

And so the Balladeer began his "exclusive training program."

You, aching and exhausted: ...So what was the mission again?!

After going through a series of bizarre missions, you finally got to mission number n.

Mission n: Make your heart race, girl! Go have a few passionate romances!

You were as steady as a rock, utterly unmoved.

The Balladeer sneered at you, whom he'd painstakingly (?) raised for several years. "Hah, what nonsense. A girl? This old woman? And 'passionate romance'? Is she even worthy? And a few of them? Her? Does she have what it takes?"

But that was no problem for a crafty old schemer like him.

The Balladeer calmly twisted the mission's meaning. "Look at that dog."

You looked at your beloved dog.

The Balladeer: Is it your beloved dog?

You: ...Yes.

The Balladeer: Do you love it? Do you like it?

You, having only heard the second question: ...Of course...? (Why does something feel off?)

The Balladeer: Do you have feelings for him?

You: ...? Balladeer, are you nuts? Of course I do.

There you go: love and romance!

The Balladeer was pleased. "Good. Now look at that bird..."

You: ...He must have been driven crazy.

After filing complaints to no avail over and over, you finally got a perk: you could switch Systems!

You were thrilled, so you immediately chose the little Anemo boy as your System.

But... why does this gentle Anemo boy have a Balladeer vibe?

*LOL, you're the one who likes it, aren't you? The Balladeer is cosplaying online.*

"Why let someone else have what's yours?"

*Daily sarcasm sign-in.*

Later, you learned that you had a fearsome title: Battle Maniac.

You, a laid-back person who just wanted to lie flat: ...?

*

A few things to know before reading:

The girl will be afraid of the Balladeer at first, but once she realizes he can't do anything to her, she'll get a little snarky.

Later, the Balladeer will take on a bit of a motherly vibe (under duress), and he will be out of character!

Any out-of-character behavior is my fault. I'm just writing for fun, because I simply want to see what the Balladeer would be like in Hunter x Hunter.

Theme: Fighting is not okay!
