Chapter 382: Wine Table Culture is a Liyue Tradition, and I have to taste it
Liyue has a tradition of drinking table culture, and it is the best choice for the people of Liyue to talk about things while drinking, even for events such as the gathering of the seven gods.
- Kujou Sara recalled in his heart about his wine table culture, and sat down at a banquet table placed on the top floor of the Wangshu Inn with a serious face.
This is no ordinary feast, the hidden Emperor of the Rock in the world, the family of the gods who can be called the model of the three good, the Yaksha who excludes the Demon Guardian Path, and the strangers who come from outside the world.
Plus the executive and his brother who can be ignored.
If it was known to others, I am afraid that I would be so shocked that I would compile a poem on the spot, and use it to circulate a scene that is unique in ten thousand.
Kujou Sara didn't think it was an exaggeration, after all, when she had dinner with Shogun Yokotoen for the first time, she went home that night and bought a granite tombstone and carved this exciting event behind the tombstone.
Because according to the description of the Toshi scriptures, she was the only Inazuma person who was able to share meals with the shogun in these hundreds of years, except for Yae Miko.
"Alcohol ......"
As soon as he picked up the delicate wine glass, before the words of appreciation could be fully revealed, the tengu on the other side stood up respectfully with the wine glass, and Zhongli raised the wine glass with some confusion and touched it with a false touch.
The chopsticks poked at the almond tofu in the bowl, and Xiao felt extremely depressed.
The wine for this banquet was personally searched for, and the emperor was about to praise the wine, but for some reason he was stopped by this tengu, hoping that she didn't mean to do so.
- Oops, could it be that this Yaksha was upset that I had raised my glass later than the Emperor of the Rocks?
Kujou Sara is not a person with low emotional intelligence, this is the business of the former commander, and she must show a fair and stern face, and this is what makes her look a little rigid.
Keenly caught and understood the displeasure that flashed in the eyebrows of the Great Sage of Demon Slayer, and thought carefully twice in her heart, and she couldn't help but secretly complain bitterly when she understood the reason.
I've long heard that Liyue's drinking table culture can be extreme in the hands of some people, but I didn't think that the first time I participated in the culture, I met a difficult demon sage.
But even the tengu, who was looking at the tengu for hundreds of miles, couldn't see when the Emperor of the Rock King wanted to raise his glass and react in advance!
This is also too harsh...... Wait, she was the only one who raised her glass before, and in addition to the displeasure of the Demon Sage, the water stopper seemed to show a strange surprise.
Could it be that this wine glass is still an unspoken rule?
This makes sense, otherwise because of those reasons, the Great Sage of Demon Slaying will inevitably fall behind and lose the face of the Liyue Immortals.
Kujou Sara was vigilant and waited for the opportunity to observe the unspoken rules.
Rubbing the corners of her mouth, trying to dissipate the smile as much as possible, Ying picked up her wine glass and stood up, and said cheerfully, "Today is the anniversary of Paimon being caught by me, thank you for your enthusiasm, so I won't say anything here, eat and drink well!" If you don't get drunk today, you won't return. ”
“……?”
Paimon, whose mouth was gagged with a chicken leg, obediently gnawed on.
Anyway, this posture doesn't seem to be a joke coming to her, just keep eating.
"It's a little weird."
Zhongli whispered a comment and stood up with their wine glasses, "If today is an anniversary recognized by travelers, then congratulations." ”
"Do you need me to find a fishing rod?"
Xiao asked, although he stood up, but he couldn't see the difference from before.
The chair specially made by Wangshu Inn in order to take care of the Great Sage of Demon Suppression made Xiao could not see the difference between him and others when he sat down, and on the surface, his face was well taken care of...... Perhaps.
At least Kujou Sara was hesitating to hit his chopsticks to the ground, taking the opportunity to see if the Demon Slayer was standing.
"Wait a minute."
Stop the water and take out a wine glass and fill it again, covering the rim with the palm of your hand.
"I can't think of a good gift, but recently Northland Bank ...... Well, wait until the next meeting, be sure to make up the gift for the traveler. ”
Because Teucer is more skilled with chopsticks than he is, and Tartaglia, who secretly doubts his talent, comes to his senses, "I won't drink alcohol, and I will have to at least make a show to Pantarone recently." ”
"I ......"
Kujou Sara was just about to stand up and say something congratulatory, when he saw the traveler slam the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said coldly:
"I can't afford to congratulate the nine generals, you also know the identity of the people present, so let's tell me who is not more noble than you except him? It turned out to be the last one to stand up. ”
Her eyes were red and bloodshot, and she clenched her fists hard, she held back the tears in her eyes and said with a smile: "General Kujou is still sitting here and waiting for others to serve!" After all, in Inazuma, you're used to days like this. ”
"...... me?"
Kujou Sara looked at the traveler's grief-stricken appearance with a blank expression, and exclaimed in his heart that it was not good.
She shouldn't have misunderstood the meaning of the wine table culture before, Mr. Zhongli just wanted to drink when he picked up the wine glass, not to find someone to clink glasses.
The displeasure of the Demon Sage...... This banquet seems to have been prepared by the Great Sage of Demon Suppression, and Mr. Zhongli seems to have something to say before drinking, could it be a word of appreciation?
The strange surprise of the hydrostat is easier to understand.
So she just inadvertently did such a humiliating act?
Kujou Sara naturally didn't believe Ying's words, and if it was as she said, it wouldn't be the first Mr. Zhongli to pick up his glass.
“…… I just wanted to stand up and move my waist before, you should believe it, right? ”
"What?"
Hearing the lame explanation, Ying restrained the anger and disdain on her face, and pursed her lips in frustration, "I still want to deceive Sara, but I didn't expect to be recognized so quickly." ”
Kujou Sara said, "I don't have oni blood. ”
"Then why did you suddenly stand up and clink glasses with Zhongli before?"
"I just suddenly had some backache and wanted to stretch my body!"
"Oh—you can take me for believing you." Yingman nodded at Kujou with a gentle smile.
"It's all said that I don't have ghost blood!"
"It feels like someone is talking about me."
Covered in light veil-like moonlight, Arataki Itto chewed on the small red fruit he pulled off a bush in his mouth, "It must be Kujo Tengu, she must be laughing at Uncle Ben for not finding out about him leaving!" ”
Originally, everything was planned, accepting the reward from the General Affairs Division, running in front of Kujo Tengu to show off, and at the same time obtaining the legal right to go out, without having to hide.
When the time comes, I will complete the things that Ren explained.
As a result, I didn't expect other things to be done, but I couldn't find Kujou Sara to show off, so unwilling!
Wiping the juice from the corner of his mouth, Arataki Ichito patted his head and took out the map he had carefully brought with him when he left from his arms.
He didn't take the official road, and he would definitely be able to give Kujo Tengu a big surprise by taking a shortcut, and he could also prevent the possibility of getting lost, so as not to worry Shinobu who was far away in Inazuma.

"The prescription has been changed, and some of these specialties have been replaced with medicinal materials that can be found in Inazuma, which are not too rare, but the medicinal effect has definitely decreased a little, and the damage cannot be completely removed, so let your junior sister use less."
"Thank you, Grandma Ping."
"Thanks for what? On weekdays, it's good to accompany the old woman to come over to enjoy the flowers. ”
Yanfei put away the prescription in her hand, patted her chest, and promised seriously: "When I'm done with things these days, I will definitely come over to accompany Grandma Ping to enjoy the flowers." ”
"And use this sentence to fool the old woman."
"No, it's true that after dealing with this matter recently, I want to avoid the limelight, and I feel that it seems more suitable to go to Mondstadt."
Gently knocked on the forehead by the cane, Yanfei spit out her pink tongue, and shook the hand that hugged Grandma Ping forward, "Oops~ Just kidding, how can Mondstadt compare to Grandma Ping's dust song pot?" ”
"If you want to travel to Mondstadt, I don't need you to accompany me...... Speaking of which, your junior sister didn't let someone bring a word over? ”
"Hmmm......"
Hearing this, Yanfei lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and patted her forehead with some annoyance: "I forgot to ask." ”
"That guy didn't tell you?"
"He's a ghost clan, and it seems that the bloodline level is quite high, I guess I forgot about it."
"Ghost clan~ Don't treat all the ghost clans as stupid, a ghost clan I know is not stupid."
"The main reason is that I've seen too few ghost clans, and I've only seen them a few times when I've been to Inazuma."
