[Genshin Impact] Do You Need a Vision to Fall in Love?

Cyno, Tartaglia, Diluc, the Geo Lord, Heizou, Haitham, the Conqueror of Demons, the Wanderer, the clan head, Kaeya, the Warden, Tighnari, Thoma, Venti, the Doctor, the Hydro Dragon, Baizhu, and Kaveh are complete. The one about Albedo is ongoing. Can a native of Teyvat without a Vision obtain an Intertwined Fate? These are stories about the possibility of ordinary people falling in love with Genshin Impact characters. The chapter order is undecided, and the summaries may differ from the actual stories. [One] Desert Rose: Cyno * Akademiya Senior (Complete) His dark skin, white hair, and red eyes really do hit all your favorite buttons. The way his hands tremble with fear even as he puts on a fierce act is adorable, and those long ears on his head, whatever they mean, make you want to touch them... But you still tell Mr. Guraj, "Don't dump your illegitimate child on me to raise, damn it!" What? He isn't an illegitimate child, but a test subject for priestly powers? Wait, where's the Great General Mahamatra? I want to report this! [Two] Drawing a Blade to Cut the Water: Tartaglia * Millelith Commander (Complete) Most members of the Millelith don't have Visions, but they have still protected Liyue from harm for thousands of years. So you have never thought a Vision was necessary. To prove that pursuing martial skill doesn't require a god's favor, you challenge a Harbinger from Snezhnaya to a duel. So after you got carried away fighting, drank a few bottles of firewater, and things happened that shouldn't have... that's something you can understand, right? [Three] A Glimmer in the Dark: Diluc * Personal Valet (Complete) A tapping sound comes from outside the window. You deftly open it and let your master slip into the sitting room. The Knights of Favonius are getting closer to the door, but you calmly remove your master's bloodstained coat, change him into a well-fitting evening suit, tie his ruby-studded bow tie, and put on a spotless pair of gloves. Once you're sure Master Diluc looks immaculate, without a single flaw, you open the door and walk out with him. Under the Knights of Favonius' suggestive glances, you calmly drape the bloodstained coat over your arm. His collar is undone by two buttons, and his shirt is rumpled, giving them plenty to speculate about. No one pays any attention to the coat you've taken off him. Another day, another success for the all-purpose valet. [Four] Divine Wedding, Divine Funeral: Zhongli * Sacrifice / Young Widow (Complete) Six thousand years ago. You lift your veil and lower your gaze to the altar before you. From this limited angle, all you can see of the enormous creature is... its tail? It looks like a fish with legs, or a snake with fins. A thing that is not human. In that moment, you understand with startling clarity the nature of this newly born god. And you are to be its bride. Six thousand years later. After watching the Rite of Parting, you push open the doors of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and set down two chests of Mora in front of the young director. "Please arrange funeral rites for my late husband. The highest standard, and don't worry about the cost." At the sound of your voice, the consultant with the unusual pupils steps out from behind the screen. He gazes at you with a terrifyingly profound look and asks in a low voice, "May I ask who your late husband was...?" You don't look up and don't notice the connection between the consultant's eyes and your late husband's. Playing with your nails, you reply casually, "Just some old geezer from a political marriage. Give him a proper send-off. It's the least I can do as his wife..." [Five] Late-Night Diner: Shikanoin Heizou * Teahouse Owner (Complete) The bell at the door jingles. You look up, wordlessly set down the ingredients, and watch the young man stroll in, waving. "...So why are you here again, Detective Heizou? This really is just an ordinary teahouse. There's nothing spe..." "Help! This person just collapsed out of nowhere!" "...Come on in. Thank you for your help again today." A regular's shout makes you swallow the rest of your sentence. You respectfully open the door and welcome in the grinning Tenryou Commission detective. "What would you like today? Tempura or croquettes?" The ingredients were prepared in advance, a table was deliberately left free, and your fingers are blistered from the hot oil. Shikanoin Heizou quickly takes note of the clues you let slip and gives you a knowing smile. "Oh, my, I'll leave it to you, then." [Six] A Prize Within Reach: Alhaitham * Akademiya Chief Scribe (Complete) You are the eldest child of a renowned academic family in Sumeru, and your parents have arranged for you to serve as the Chief Scribe at the House of Daena. Ever since the Akasha appeared, few people have been willing to visit the House of Daena to read physical books. The most notable among them is Alhaitham of the Haravatat Darshan, a young man who claims the sunniest seat every day. He reads all the books you read in your youth, leaving his own comments in your notes. So you let him access restricted books, indulge him when he spends the night at the House of Daena, and sometimes leave breakfast on his desk when he's not looking. You like him, but that has nothing to do with him. That is, until Grand Sage Azar falls from power and your family gets caught up in the aftermath. To restore the family's standing, your parents want you to start an academic household with the rising star of the scholarly world. At the matchmaking meeting, the acting Grand Sage arrives in elegant fashion. Alhaitham has always believed that if something belongs to him, it makes no difference when he checks on it. Just like knowledge already learned, once something is in your hands, it isn't going anywhere. [Seven] Burdened by Sin: Xiao * Herbalist (Complete) You have never regretted meeting and coming to know the Conqueror of Demons, even when the karma clinging to the Yaksha leaves you, an ordinary person, bedridden with illness. It is only one day, when you see Xiao's pained, self-reproachful expression after you cough up blood, that you finally realize how grave your sins are. You regret it too late. Dragging your frail body along, you kneel at the feet of a god with golden eyes and beg them to erase Xiao's memories. Your wish is granted. But the god leaves Xiao a sliver of hope. A hundred years later, the Conqueror of Demons, who has not set foot in Liyue Harbor for a long time, sees you amid the rising Lanterns. This is your first meeting, and your reunion. [Eight] Drink and Sing: The Wanderer * Drunkard Author (Complete) You save a kid in Inazuma. To repay you, he decides to work for you for free. Instead, he gets distracted and lets someone steal your bonus, or lets people talk him into donating his writing fees. Watching the money in your pocket dwindle, you steel yourself and dump him on a blond guy and a white-haired girl in Sumeru City who seem to know him. That very night, someone corners you in a tavern. Looking at the person hovering in midair, arrogantly snatching your bottle and mocking you, all you can think to ask is: Who are you, kid? Where's that excessively polite little one? [Nine] The End of the World: Ayato * Fox-Spirit Priest (Complete) Perhaps you sympathized with each other at first. Though he was the young master of the Yashiro Commission, he had lost everything, just like you, who were down on your luck. So you couldn't help lending him a hand. But when did the puppy's gaze stop being so innocent? Miko always says human lives are short, so don't get too close to them. But the current head of the Yashiro Commission tells you, "Don't worry. If I pass away, I will never leave you alone to live out your days in solitude." [Ten] The Past Like the Wind: Kaeya * Old Mondstadt Noble (Complete) Your subordinate rushes into your room to tell you the Knights of Favonius have arrived. With a helpless sigh, you set aside your work and get up to receive them for their routine inspection. Come to think of it, you have Eula, who joined the Knights of Favonius, to thank. Your family has received far less hostility over the years... Well, except from Inspector Iroque, who is always looking for trouble. You walk out to the front gate. The fully armed inspector gives you a contemptuous look and demands to search your estate, claiming he's heard that the Lawrence family is hiding illegal drugs. You nod helplessly, but then Iroque goes a step further and demands to search your family members as well. You frown and twitch your fingers, about to throw your glove in that irritating man's face. A man with honey-colored skin and an eyepatch gently takes your hand and pulls you halfway into his arms. He says to the inspector with a roguish smile, "There's no need to trouble yourself. I'll personally inspect every inch of Lady Lawrence." [Eleven] The War of the Roses: Wriothesley * Hardened Convict (Complete) When the Traveler and Paimon ask around about the rules at the Fortress of Meropide, some guards and prisoners who prefer to remain anonymous warn them: "If you don't want to disappear without a trace, don't mess with Gray River." After all the mix-ups involving the head nurse making meat and Fonta being used as blood, the Traveler and Paimon think this rule must be another rumor, until they see a gray-haired young man grab Wriothesley's tie, pin him against the wall, kiss him, and stuff several credit coupons into his ample (crossed out) chest. So the next time Paimon explains the rules to a new prisoner, she folds her arms and solemnly advises them: "Don't mess with Gray River." [Twelve] Song of the Jungle: Tighnari * Bimarstan Doctor (Complete) You are an intern doctor at the Bimarstan. When you hear that a scholar has collapsed in the rainforest, your teacher sends you there to provide assistance. You carefully make your way through the pouring rain for half a day, but still end up surrounded by Fungi. As a Rockfungus spins toward you, you tremble and shut your eyes, ready to meet your end. Just then, something whistles through the air. You open your eyes, trembling, and see a fluffy tail. "Senior!" You recognize him at once and grab the Forest Watcher's clothes, tears of relief running down your cheeks. "Idiot!" The Forest Watcher pants, so angry that the fur on his ears stands on end. He points at your nose and scolds you. "Don't go into the jungle without me! How many times have I told you? Why can't you remember?" [Thirteen] Butterfly Princess: Thoma * Kabuki Actor (Complete) As Inazuma's most famous kabuki actor, you sometimes have unwelcome audience members at your performances, like the one here now. A greasy merchant dressed like a foreigner snickers and reaches out to touch your hair. You smack the back of his hand hard with your fan handle. Before he can cry out, you open your fan and cover your mouth with it as you smile. "My lord, you'd better learn some manners before your next visit to Inazuma. People who provoke the locals should be careful they don't leave Inazuma in one piece." [Fourteen] Cecilia: Venti * Disabled Beauty (Complete) You make Wind Gliders, but you have never known the joy of flying, because you cannot walk properly. In Mondstadt, a nation where everyone cherishes freedom, needing help just to leave home is undoubtedly painful. Fortunately, you can still see the majestic Dragonspine and beautiful Starsnatch Cliff in a bard's songs, and experience all kinds of adventures. "Whenever you need to rest, you are always welcome to come back," you say with a smile to the green-clad boy holding a lyre as he bids you farewell. "I'll always look forward to your next story." How do you keep a breeze from drifting away? Give him a home that is warm and free, a place he can return to when he is tired. [Fifteen] Frankenstein: The Doctor * Akademiya Genius Scholar (Complete) You are the most successful scholar in the Akademiya's history, later nicknamed the [Eternal Sage of the Akademiya]. You are every scholar's teacher, the umbrella that shelters them from the storm, and also the shadow they cannot escape, a leaf they can never reach. "Zandik, your research is meaningless," you once told a scholar who had been expelled from the Akademiya. Five hundred years later, you are astonished to discover that this student, who should belong to [humanity], has not aged and now possesses abilities far beyond those of humans. "Teacher, do you still think my research is meaningless?" he asks with a smile, gesturing to the wailing test subjects and the children struggling to beg you for help. You glance at him coldly. "...You know, the last [segment] asked me the exact same thing six months ago, don't you?" Someone says, "Interesting. It seems the young [me]'s expectations for [love] are higher than estimated. I wonder how [I] would react if you were killed?" Another says, "Then would you be willing to kill another [you] for me?" Mortals cannot understand geniuses, and geniuses cannot coexist with one another. But perhaps monsters can briefly find common ground with monsters. [Sixteen] Requiem Mass: Neuvillette * Opera Singer (Complete) You are an opera singer hailed as Fontaine's treasure. Whenever one of your performances is staged, the house is always full. A despicable jester, a pitiful knight, a dissolute noble: you have played countless roles at the Opera Epiclese. Some even say that your singing can move all things in the world, and bring rain from the skies to mourn your fate onstage. Countless nobles adore you and send you jewels; many fans admire you and bring you flowers. They don't know that the real you doesn't like any of it. So what do you like? Sitting in the reception room at Palais Mermonia, you finish signing autographs for the Melusines. Then you smile at the Chief Justice, who has finally finished his work. "Mr. Neuvillette, the weather is lovely today, so will you marry me?" [Seventeen] Beyond Saving: Baizhu * Treasure Hoarder Leader (Complete) "Saving one life is worth building a seven-story pagoda. What about saving a bad person's life?" You taunt Baizhu, your foot planted on his shoulder. "I treat everyone who comes to Bubu Pharmacy equally and do my best to save them," he answers gently, unaffected by your provocation as he wraps a bandage around your bleeding ankle. "You are no exception." "...How boring." Ignoring Changsheng's angry hissing, you stand up. "I'd rather just do what I like and fight you." Treasure Hoarders emerge from the forest and surround Baizhu's medicine jars. You rest your twin blades on your shoulders and tilt your head. "It's always nice to meet a fellow professional." Your blades dance, cutting through a chorus of screams. You raise an eyebrow and smile. "My friends, running a clinic isn't easy. Leave behind a little more money to save your lives." [Eighteen] A Colossal Lie: Kaveh * Professional Cross-Dressing Con Artist (Complete) When you first meet, you wear the light, airy gauze clothing typical of the desert, exposing your wheat-colored arms and thighs. Leaning forward, your ample chest (fake) is just barely visible as you plead, "Please, sir, if you're willing to pay to save my father, I... I'll give myself to you." It takes you a long time to learn that art is the foundation of architecture. The architect, who has drawn countless plaster casts of the human body, figures out your gender the very first time you meet. Even so, he gives you all the money he has. As with countless times afterward, he lets himself be deceived by you, wholeheartedly. [Nineteen] The Goose Girl: Albedo * Fairy-Tale Author (Ongoing) On the surface, you are a kindergarten teacher in Mondstadt. Your most troublesome, yet most cherished, student is Klee. In secret, you are a famous fairy-tale author in Teyvat. Your favorite and most trusted illustrator is a teacher known as Chalk. One day, you complain in a letter to Chalk that Klee's guardian is utterly irresponsible for locking such a little girl in the solitary confinement room. The next day, Chalk writes back: My apologies, but perhaps you'd be willing to build a home suited to Klee with her guardian? [Twenty] Hidden Motives: Arataki Itto * Tenryou Commission Detective (Short) Having arrested Arataki Itto and thrown him in jail over and over, you consider yourself a mortal enemy of the red-horned oni. But just as the Kairagi are about to slash your arm, the red oni steps forward and shields you. Seeing Arataki Itto's broad back in front of you, your heart skips a beat. The next second, you hear him shout, "I'm the only one allowed to beat this woman! Don't you dare touch her!" You kick the red oni in the waist. Arataki Itto! Since when does being short make me a woman? Are your eyes just there to breathe?! [Twenty-One] Blossoms Along the Road: Kazuha * Friend's Younger Brother You have a secret. You like your older brother's friend. He once traveled the world freely with your brother, and he once recovered your brother's colorless [Vision] for you. He said he would take your brother's place and look after you. Your brother will always stand between you. But that's all right. There will always be living beings on the ground who dare to look directly at the lightning in the sky. And there will always be someone willing to wait patiently and tenderly, for a long time. Theme: Discovering one's value and purpose in everyday life as an ordinary person in the world of Genshin Impact, and finding a life of one's own.
