SWNOVELXO Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Extra Chapter - About Yu
Tartaglia – About Yu:
"The strongest being on Teyvat's surface, huh? I really wish I could have a duel with him. Wait—what?! You said Her Majesty sent you to deliver a message? That if I go seeking death, she won't come to save me?!"
---
Zhongli – About Yu:
"He is a formidable king, though I disagree with some of his ideals. I once visited his kingdom—over 900 years ago, I believe. Back then, it was quite different from what it is now. I remarked that his country lacked laughter, but he responded by saying, 'That's a problem we can solve later. Right now, I want my people to have the sound of breathing.'"
---
Zhongli – About Yu (how they met):
"How did we meet? Before I visited him, he was not yet a king, and his mother had not yet fallen into slumber. He led a caravan into Liyue's borders, but a powerful god, tempted by greed, ambushed him. In the rush of the moment, he saved his people but lost all his goods. He came to me seeking aid, and we forged a contract—I lent him 800 Millelith soldiers, and he promised to destroy that god's nation and deliver a large quantity of grain in return. True to his word, he accomplished the task. One man annihilating a nation? Well… that counts."
---
Zhongli – About Yu (Dark Forest Theory and Chain of Suspicion):
"A terrifying theory—dark, but not wrong. Still, I suspect he only brought it up as an excuse to claim the Chasm for himself."
---
Dottore – About Yu:
"You're asking about The Jester again? Fine, I suppose it won't hurt to tell you—he's my idol. My obsession with divine power stems from him. He once told me that what he admires most is an unyielding spirit and the drive to keep moving forward."
---
Dottore – About Yu (why Yu didn't kill him during his experiments):
"You want to know why The Jester didn't kill me when I conducted human experiments? On my first attempt, I was inexperienced and got caught. He said I was bold and talented, and then sent me off to cause trouble in foreign lands."
---
The Wanderer – About Yu:
"A ruler of a nation devoted to wisdom, yet obsessed with power? How laughable."
---
Raiden Shogun – About Yu:
"A competent king. I will surpass him."
---
Ei – About Yu:
"I don't really know what kind of relationship we have. The only thing I'm sure of is that he's my creditor. He never wins when he gambles—except for that one time, against me."
---
Nahida – About Yu:
"My elder brother. Though he has left, he promised to return. If you're asking what he left behind… Hmm… it should be the Sumeru Field Corps, right? The Grand Sage? How many divisions does he have?"
---
Venti – About Yu:
"He's the person who has changed the most out of anyone I've ever met. The first time I saw him, he seemed so boring. But when I met him again, he felt completely different! I really love Sumeru's dance halls, but if I go there, he'll beat me to death for sure! What, you're asking why I kidnapped his sister? Uh… well… I discovered that if his limbs are severed and left for a while, they ferment into wine. He'd never agree to that, though, so… Anyway, I didn't do anything bad to Nahida—I just gave her a bath… Come on, Lake Applebrew isn't that sweet."
---
Ganyu – About Yu:
"A terrifying individual. I'm very afraid of him. There's a creature in the Book of Forest and Sea that looks a lot like a qilin…"
---
Yae Miko – About Yu:
"I know little about that man, but he once said I'm no match for the 'little violin' in his house."
---
Kaeya – About Yu:
"He's a criminal of Khaenri'ah. They say he destroyed the entire nation, though I'm not sure I believe it. Records do show that he's committed massacres, but if he really did… then how did I come to be here?"
---
Prince of the Abyss – About Yu:
"He refused to fall into the Abyss and chose instead to slumber within the earth. We struck a deal—he said that when he awakens once more, it will mark the Twilight of the Gods."
