Chapter 41 - Chapter 41

**Amber looked at Yula bitterly, but Yula chose the anime in front of her with firm determination.**

Amber had seen *Zhanmei*'s PV before! Boss Takumi had declared that it was a transcendent and super-healing animation work!

At that time, Amber had thought that since they were all passionate about it, why not go watch *Naruto* instead?

However, when she saw the official content of this anime today, another kind of curiosity arose.

Although Amber didn't know why the boss called this anime *Zhanmei*, the girl on the poster was just too handsome!

As a scouting knight, Amber had a preference for such powerful-looking girls! They reminded her of Captain Jean—strong and capable.

With Takumi's help, Amber and Yula finally learned how to operate the computer.

They opened Tili Tili and, using the unfamiliar keyboard and a strange device called a mouse, clicked to enter the anime.

**1024 Imperial Calendar.**

A carriage appeared on the avenue!

The anime had officially begun!

Upon seeing this carriage, both Yula and Amber suddenly thought of a certain knight, Kaeya, who didn't have a mount.

"Is our West Wind Knights lacking mounts?" Yula mused aloud.

"Pfft! Haha! Yula, you're exactly what I was thinking! Hahahaha!" Amber laughed.

"Ahem! Amber, maintain the etiquette of the nobility!" Yula quickly scolded, trying to hold back her own laughter.

The fact that Kaeya, the cavalry captain of the West Wind Knights, didn't have a mount was simply ridiculous!

---

Outside Mondstadt, Kaeya, who was performing a mission, suddenly stopped in place. 

After a few seconds of thoughtful silence, he sneezed!

"Huh? Who's saying my name?" Kaeya looked suspiciously toward Mondstadt, but after a moment of thought, he shrugged it off. It seemed that besides the knights, only his drinking buddies—who were gifted by the angels—would miss him, right?

**Back in Mondstadt, at Tili Tili Danmaku.com, in a room on the second floor.**

Amber and Yula's on-demand anime, *Zhanmei: Red Eyes*, had officially started playing!

The renovated shop had more rooms, and compared to the old projection room in the previous Datong Shop, this room was much more private.

Of course, that didn't mean there weren't screening rooms. After the system's upgrade, multimedia rooms capable of holding fifty people were arranged on each floor.

In the room, the anime began playing on the computer.

A carriage galloped down the road!

Amber and Yula were immediately immersed in the scene. Suddenly, the ground shook—was it from the vibrations of the galloping carriage, or was it something else?

Out of nowhere, a massive earth dragon leaped up from the ground!

**[Fuck! That scared me!]**

At this exciting and critical moment, Amber and Yula saw a line of text appear on the computer screen.

No, this was strange—what was this description? It was an entirely unique experience!

As if watching the anime, they could also see what other people were thinking and feeling about it in real time!

This was a mysterious feeling that made both Yula and Amber feel somewhat strange.

Just when the earth dragon appeared, startling everyone, a young man holding a sword appeared on screen!

Amber and Yula were entranced as the young man started fighting.

Yula calmly observed the boy's swordplay. Although his moves were somewhat unpolished, there was a raw power behind them!

Vaguely, it seemed that his swordsmanship was influenced by the techniques passed down in his family. Could this be the "abilities" that Amber had mentioned, ones that could be extracted from anime?

But after a short time, Yula didn't feel the emergence of any such power. It felt... strange.

The boy's swordsmanship wasn't particularly brilliant; it felt slightly odd, but Yula couldn't look away. She was still entertained.

Then, the boy jumped!

With a flash of blades, the earth dragon before him was cleaved in two!

**[Fuck! So handsome! Can I learn this sword technique?!]**

**[After learning this kind of swordsmanship, I could take on the Pyro Regisvine by myself!]**

**[Hahaha, Jerry, I saw your comment, this bullet screen is so fun!]**

**[This is amazing, everyone watching the same anime and sharing their thoughts in real-time! Incredible!]**

**[As expected from Boss Takumi, this Fontaine technology is simply too powerful!]**

**[Excuse me, what's that animal running on the road?]**

**[I think that's a horse, and the carriage is powered by it, right?]**

**[Horses? Animals that can be ridden? Is this better than the Wings of Wind?]**

**[It seems so!]**

Many people's eyes shifted from the shadows of swords to the animals in the anime—horses. This creature was just too powerful.

The speed and the way the carriage moved were incredible.

"If this becomes popular in Mondstadt, would it be possible to travel to Mondstadt in no time? This is a fantastic species!" Amber exclaimed.

Sadly, Takumi hadn't seen anyone in *Zhanmei* with items like a carriage. And horses hadn't appeared in Teyvat yet. It was strange.

"When will Mondstadt be able to ride freely?" Amber pondered. "Maybe one day, everyone could become a dragon knight! In that case, it wouldn't be impossible!"
