Chapter 19 - Family sized Pork

A certain legend tell a tale about a secret boss at Good Hunter restaurant in Mondstadt region.

...

During that training swap in domain copy of Mondstadt, at Good Hunter restaurant, there was a hog/pig facing an lit up oven/furnace.

Paymon notice this creature, so she pointed the obvious to Traveler. "Look! What a boar is doing inside a city? And why is looking directly at the flames of the oven? Lets go check it." As the duo approached the silver Guide notice something unsettling. "Wait. Is that boar crying? Hey buddy!; What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

That boar with a tear in its eyes turn around and look at the duo. Its voice was shaking due to his unstable emotional state. "What wrong, you ask?! WHAT,- WRONG,- you ask?!" It release a scream that is hard to describe a sad scream. "If I am a hurt, you ask?!!" Its scratch the ground with a hoof as if it was ready to dash out on a rampage.

.

Paymon backed a little bit, worrying to be rammed by that pig. "You don't need to be a melodrama queen. I am just asking."

But that don't calm the boar. It had an opposite effect. "Don't be a melodrama queen?!! Are you serious??!!"

.

Paymon get scared. "Calm down! Just tell us what happened."

That animal having a hard time to catch a breath. "What happened? I tell you what happened… My entire clan, my entire family, ended up in this hell hole! They are gone! I am the last board in entire Mondstadt!"

.

That news highly alarmed the traveling duo. Especially the silver gourmet, who bark back. "What!?" Then she tried to figure more. "Surely you overacting. What about all the protected habitat areas?"

Boar shake its head in (No!) gesture. "Jet the Overhunting and failing to protect those areas caused they complete collapse! I am the last one still standing. My entire lineage will perish with me."

.

"Then what about the Dragonspire…"

"The sparrow news network said, that the mountain was already cleared by some lunatic riding a laud and noisy metal horse that spit fire and make the most ridiculous spin kicks."

.

Now it hit Paymon of what's going on, facing Traveler. "Oh no! Don't tell me that Mavuika got out of Natlan on a trip, and nobody tell her about keeping the balance in nature? Surely a Liyue can offer you asylum?"

But that idea was stomped to ground with bark from boar. "That were its all start. This hungry beast of white and Cryo was sweep that land like a avalanche."

Traveler had idea about identity of this hunter. "That must be Shenhe. Something must unleashed the seal to her powers."

.

Little guide was in awe. "Surely those two don't get lured to something like an eating contest of century and vent overboard with preparation that are in normal level for those two." Then she urgently return to animal in existential crisis. "Oh don't worry, my friend, let me treat you to something yummy." The guide turn toward the chef. "Excuse me? What are today spaciality?"

Clerk without a hesitation give answer with a smile. "A pork." [Pig meat]

That line cause a deep silence with Traveler face palming itself.

.

Chef continued without breaking a smile. "Right now, we have a fresh batch."

Boar protested with broken voice. "That's was my wife, you ass. Why you must hurt my heart with that commentary, human? Do you understand what you had done?"

.

Paymon tried to lift this guy mood. "Look at it from the brighter side."

But Boar dint let that to happen. "You don't understand; that there will be no more of you favorite snack. Why you even doing it for? Are you for achievement?"

A roar of an motorcycle echoed from the other side of the street, interrupting they chat. It was Mavuika, rolling through the main gate, with ridiculously large bag as passenger. She stop her bike the moment she saw the trio.

.

Boar make declaration. "That's it! I am maybe on the bottom of food chain, but today and here, I am the vengeance. Beast of Pyro, I challenge you! To the duel! To a battle to death!"

Only a motorcycle roar was a sign to acceptance that challenge.

That woman was ready to roll over the pig.

That hog, scratch the floor. "My ancestor in ever green forest, give me your strength." Then it made a mad dash shouting an awesome name for a roam attack.

.

Both of them run toward each other on a ramming speed.

But as the duo clashed it was the pig who fly across the entire city.

Mavuika had this (Ups! That's not what I wanted to do.) expression.

That boar, during its fly, had a last lament. "My entire lineage: Forgive me…"

Jet all spiritual energy of all boar reached him, in star war vibe. "Its not the end yet. Trust the force! Trust your heart! For the piglets, for the grand hog. Show them what's mean to be a, boar!"

A fire ignited in his soul and hearth, spreading into inferno that transformed the body of his into a boss class. That entire mass fallen onto the plaza in front of the cathedral.

.

Our three heroes arrived just in time as this giant boar regained his sense, stand up and shake its head. He was caught in some sheet of long cloth that must be on some rope, but from the angle our heroes come, it look like a cape of traveling hero, who come save the day.

The boar make a battle roar and declaration, while star wars like tune of Force awakening was playing in background. "The force of my ancestor is flowing in my body. My clan, my famila, I will avenge you! Humans, fell my wrath!" He stomp the pavement with such force, that was felt in bones. A title showed to his battle pose for a boss battle: Guardian of Pork: The Last beacon, jet to be baked.

Mavuika dash forward in (Its mine!) gesture, shouting a battle cry. "With this one down! Victory in eating contest will be mine!" She clunked her fist tight and smash it directly to the mass of meat that dashed against her.

With the angelic choral singing "Haleluja!!" the poor boor, got one shot down.

No! He was send flying, and this time it seemed he will crash onto the cathedral. But for curiosity there was this circular window above the cathedral door. And as for coincidence, it flew right through it, falling down right between the rows benches. Because the waxed floor was slippery, the body continued to slip across the floor, right toward the altar.

Before it had chance to ram into it, and fall through hidden staircase to lower level, a church sister with gray skin and Cryo vision, stand in his way. A single strong kick of a long long leg, force that boss boar body to make a flip roll and fly back a little. That was the end for him.

.

Whoever as it land, the brave boar dint die… Instead it wake up… wake up, from the sleep.

And it was his wife, who was standing above him, revealing that it was she who back kick him into his cheek. She was fuming shouting at him. "That's enough you fool!! This was the last time, you had that purple mushroom!! You going on a strict diet! Do you understand how annoying were all that nonsense you had uttering in your delirium state?! Our neighbors have a really annoying complains, because of you."

This moved dude look at her, then at other boars and his eyes watered. "My clan… my family… I protected you… Thank you my ancestors..."

But the other boar back kick him into cheek, demanding that he will go back to sleep.

...

[Note:] I got an idea for this shot the moment I saw that boar. And hear its scream. "My entire family is go~~one!!

Funny to note that, it will be interested if I finish and post this story before the little witches event and the popcorn boar. The moment I saw him, I was he fit perfectly to the description of this story boar.
