Kujou Sara was clearly stunned, not expecting her weapon to be cut off so easily.
Itto wasn't surprised by this at all; he had experienced how sharp that blade was.
Kujou Sara retreated several steps, then said coldly, "Arataki Itto, I didn't expect your new weapon to be so powerful."
"Ah ha ha ha, of course! This is a weapon This Daddy, painstakingly forged, all to deal with you, Kujou Turtle!"
Itto kept swinging his large cleaver as he spoke, showing off his peerless weapon.
However...
Perhaps Itto was too excited and forceful, as he accidentally flung the blade away!
Kujou Sara seized this opportunity, immediately drew her bow and nocked an arrow, stopping Itto who was about to pick up the blade.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Three arrows shot out in quick succession, leaving Itto no way to advance.
"Damn you, Kujou Turtle, if you have the guts, don't stop me!"
Kujou Sara, of course, wouldn't listen to Itto. She gave her subordinate a look, and a soldier quickly snatched the blade away.
"General Kujou!"
The soldier handed the blade to Kujou Sara. Kujou Sara weighed it in her hand for a moment and was slightly surprised.
"I didn't expect this blade to be so light, yet so sharp, and its power extraordinary..."
No wonder Itto dared to challenge her to a duel; it turned out this weapon was truly unusual.
"I knew he was an idiot."
Sayu burst into laughter when she saw Itto even lose his weapon.
Yoimiya next to her held her forehead and said, "Sigh, although I knew he wouldn't win, I didn't expect such a result..."
Xavier stroked his chin in thought.
It seemed the system's words were very true; with this weapon, one could be invincible.
But without this weapon, one would not be invincible.
Itto was indeed a 'great genius,' always finding paths no one else had taken.
"Seize him!"
Kujou Sara ordered her subordinates to apprehend Itto, then tied him up tightly.
Itto, bound like a pig to be slaughtered for the New Year, struggled continuously, still shouting.
"Damn it, let me go! I want to continue our deathmatch! Give This Daddy, my blade back!"
Kujou Sara held the colorful cleaver and came before Itto, patting his face with the blade.
"Arataki Itto, although I don't know where this weapon came from, putting it in the hands of someone like you, not only is it a waste of a treasure, but it will also cause trouble for others."
"As for you, you should go to the dungeon and reflect. Not only did you break into the Tenryou Commission in the middle of the night, but you even dared to provoke me!"
After speaking, Kujou Sara waved her hand, telling her subordinates to take Arataki Itto to the dungeon.
Itto was panicked at this moment and quickly begged Xavier for help, "Xavier, quickly save me! Kujou Turtle respects you so much, she will definitely listen to you!"
Xavier was about to speak of their friendship, but Kujou Sara spoke first.
"Lord Xavier, although your relationship with General is extraordinary, I hope you will not interfere in this matter."
Xavier rubbed his nose, feeling a bit awkward.
On one side was Itto, on the other was Kujou Sara; it really was a difficult choice.
"Ahem, well, the weather is nice today, how about we go for some tea?"
Xavier had a flash of inspiration, pretended nothing had happened, and turned to leave with Ayaka and the others.
"Hey, Xavier, you can't just leave me to die! Xavier..."
Itto kept calling Xavier's name from behind, but Xavier still walked away.
Because Xavier knew that Kujou Sara wouldn't really do anything to Itto, and he had fulfilled his promise to Itto. He couldn't be said to be breaking his word, right?
And so, poor Itto was locked in the dungeon for three whole days.
During this time, Kujou Sara would come over and glance at him from time to time, making mocking sounds.
Itto, who was already resentful from his defeat, became even more infuriated, but he had no way to retaliate.
During these three days, because Itto wasn't at home, it was much quieter.
Although there were still a few troublesome individuals, none of their voices were louder than Itto's.
On this day, Xavier sat on the sofa with Klee, watching TV, enjoying themselves.
Just then, the TV showed a scene of ice skating.
"Wow, big brother Xavier, Klee wants to go ice skating too~"
Klee, seeing how fun ice skating was and how much more comprehensive it was compared to Mondstadt, couldn't help but feel tempted.
"Oh? Ice skating, huh? I'm very good at it!"
Eula appeared at some point, resting one hand on her hip and smiling.
Klee was overjoyed, seemingly ready to head to the ice rink very soon.
"Yay! Then Klee wants to go play with big sister Eula!"
Eula glanced at Xavier and noticed a hint of difficulty on his face.
So she said discontentedly, "You wouldn't be unwilling to take us, would you? Then I'll have to remember this grudge!"
Xavier scratched his head and said, "It's not that, it's mainly that I haven't been there either..."
Fortunately, it was the internet age now. No matter where they wanted to go, they could find it with a quick search on their phones.
Xavier opened his phone and found an ice rink that looked pretty good.
"Found it! This ice rink is quite large!"
"Ice skating? Where are we going ice skating?!"
Hu Tao's ears were sharp, catching the keywords.
Xavier rolled his eyes and said, "Can you even ice skate, and you're coming to join the fun? Go somewhere cool and stay there."
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you saying? Although Hall Master doesn't know how, I can learn, right? And Eula is an expert, right!"
Xavier sighed helplessly. He didn't want to bring Hu Tao, partly because she really couldn't, and partly because this girl always caused him trouble.
But since she knew about it, she definitely wouldn't give up easily.
"Can I come along? I feel like ice skating is a very interesting sport!" Navia even ran over, wanting to join in.
"Alright, alright, then let's all go!"
Xavier was afraid that too many people going would be too troublesome, so he decided to leave immediately.
Not long after Xavier left, a group of people arrived.
"Damn it, I'm so mad! They actually locked This Daddy, in the dungeon for three days, and only gave me plain rice every day, not even a piece of meat!"
Itto sat on the sofa, fuming, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Oh, Itto, you look like you're in a terrible state. Did something happen?"
Venti saw Itto like this and kindly expressed concern.
Itto quickly complained, "Don't even get me started! It's all Kujou Turtle's fault, and Xavier actually didn't help This Daddy..."
Itto was halfway through his complaint when he was interrupted.
"This is great! I found a treasure map!"
Bennett ran in from the backyard, holding a piece of paper in his hand.
