Flag Of Hope ( Genshin Impact x Male Reader ) [ Being Rewritten ]

Ch 18 - Savior or Traitor?

[ No one's PoV ]

"Lumine.... Jean...?"

The two girls looked at shock as blood dripped from the handle on his spear "(Y/N)! Are yo-!" Lumine ran up to him only to be grabbed by Jean "(Y/N)... Are you out of your mind?" He slowly looked at Jean "...You got a problem... With me rescuing people?" He weakly asked as the group of survivors slowly went closer to him to receive the heat of the makeshift flag

"Rescuing people? They're Fatui!" Jean shouted, (Y/N) started to glare at her "Just because they are fatui... Doesn't mean I shouldn't... Help them!" He weakly shouted back before stabbing the makeshift flag on the ground. And slowly started to walk towards the two girls

He leaned down to grab Kurume's sword, who tried to take it back but her weak grip made her lose her hold of the sword, (Y/N) slowly takes up a combat pose "As a flag raiser... My job is to support those who are in need..." He wobbles for a bit, but soon regained his strength "...I don't care if you brand me as a criminal... All I wanted is for people to be safe... And if it requires me to duel you to death..." He takes a  deep breath and takes off the sheath of Kurume's sword "...So be it"

"...Very well" Jean replies in a serious tone before spawning her sword "Jean?!?" Lumine panicked as she looks at the two who's blades are drawn to each other, before in a second. Jean quickly rushed in and did a huge swing to the left of (Y/N). He quickly tried to party the attack but his blood loss made him duck instead and resort to kicking Jean down

Jean immediately blocked the kicked and stomp on (Y/N)'s foot, causing him to scream in pain "Jean! Please sto-" Lumine was interrupted by shock at the sight of Jean jumping backwards to avoid an arrow from Ganyu "...So you also sided with him..." Jean says as she watched Ganyu slowly stand (Y/N) up

"...Milord's tasks has not yet been achieved..." Ganyu says as she spawns another arrow in her hand "I would appreciate if you wouldn't harm Milord" she adds as she readies her bow "Even if I am not prepared for close quarters, you'll find yourself impaled in arrows in a few seconds" Jean only stares are her for a second before leaning in to use her ability

"Can you... Really call yourself a knight...?"

She stopped and stared at (Y/N) who was tearing up "A knight's duty... Is to protect people..." He told her as he limps to her "A knight's duty... Is to preserve justice..." Jean continued to be in her stance as (Y/N) limped towards her "is killing them... Count as something heroic...? To kill people who strive to survive... In a dangerous place like this... They defied their country... Went on a harsh way just to get their freedom... And what are you going to do?...kill them...? Take their freedom..?" He says before stopping in front of Jean, her blade is touching his neck "Commiting a war crime is different than staying true to a knight's oath" he says weakly before grabbing her blade

"Do you have what it takes... To kill a person who's trying to help people... In this cruel world"

Jean stopped in a moment before slowly lowering her sword "...I don't" she says as she stared at the ground "Good... Then can I atleast-"

"But why? Why risk your own life?" She interrupted him as she stared at him "You're bleeding, Don't you atleast think of what we think on your actions?" She questions him with a disheartening voice "...I do think, but in the end... I couldn't die if I still had Mana...so I thought you guys wouldn't mind-"

A loud slap echoed through the mountain

(Y/N) finds himself laying on the snow "DIDN'T YOU KNOW WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT YOU?!? EVEN IF YOU CANT DIE, DO YOU KNOW HOW WE FEEL IF WE COULDN'T EVEN PROTECT YOU?!?" Jean shouts at him as tears flew out of her eyes, he slowly rolled over to look at Jean "Why...do you go so far... For a person who's just being used as a pawn...?"
