Chapter 8: Conversation in the Angel's Gift
In Angel's Gift, because Diluc, the big boss, said that it would not be open tonight, the tavern that used to be quite lively is now extremely deserted, and even Charles, the bartender who is almost an inch, did not appear behind the bar today.
"It seems that we are back early, do you want a glass of cider, this is the latest brew, and it tastes good."
Diluc put the Lyre in the Sky and beckoned everyone to sit down around the bar, where he took out a bottle of cider and poured a glass for everyone, the clear cider turned a soft pale yellow in the light, and the smell of ripe apples from the glass revealed the preciousness of the bottle.
"Diluc's atmosphere, if this kind of good wine is sold in Liyue, I am afraid that I will not be able to get it without tens of thousands of Mora."
As he drank all the cider in his glass, the cider tasted and tasted no worse than the good wine he had drunk in Liyue, and Diluc poured another glass for Ruoban and a glass of grape juice for Ying and Paimon.
"Lord Diluc, why is it that if he is forbidden to drink, the traveler and I can only drink grape juice?"
"Mondstadt has a rule that minors are not allowed to drink alcohol, and I see that you two are not yet old enough to drink, and grape juice is perfect for you."
Diluc said what Paimon didn't want to hear in a flat tone, and Paimon had no choice but to compromise because Diluc didn't look very easy to mess with.
"Huh? Is there still such a provision? All right... ”
Diluc poured himself another glass of grape juice, not paying any attention to the regret on Paimon's face, wine is not a good thing for a child.
Ying looked at the grape juice in the glass and then at the wine not far away, Ying, who hadn't tasted wine for a long time, really wanted to drink some now, but her appearance said that she was an adult, and it didn't seem to be convincing.
"Well, actually, I'm an adult."
After some hesitation, Ying weakly stated the fact that she was an adult, and although the grape juice tasted good, she still wanted to taste the cider.
Well?
Ying's words attracted the attention of Ruo Ban and Diluc, and in the eyes of the two, Ying's girlish appearance really didn't show that she was an adult, only Ruo Tuo in Ruo Ban's body noticed something wrong.
"Forbidden boy, how does Uncle Ben feel that this little girl named Ying seems to be much older than you, but her knowledge doesn't seem to match her age, it's really strange."
Ruo Tuo muttered in Ruo Ban's mind, could it be that there was something wrong with his perception, it shouldn't be, there shouldn't be a mistake when it's so close.
"Actually, I'm from this other world, and I'm 。。。。。。 with my brother."
After getting to know Ruo Ban and Diluc as people, Ying also told her story to the two of them, and after listening to Ying's story, Ruo Ban felt that something had changed in the world, and he became a little unrecognizable.
He used to think that the visitors from another world were all bards who made up to deceive children, but now he was told that all this was true, and it was really a little difficult to accept it for a while, as if he listened to a story, and one day the hero of the story suddenly popped out.
"Well, this shouldn't be unacceptable, why do you look at me like this?"
"No, Ying, you and your brother are really from another world, and your brother was captured by a strange god?"
In the face of Ruoban's incredulity, Ying nodded in confirmation, the lost part of the memory was mainly about Teyvat five hundred years ago, but there was no problem with the memories of her previous travels to other worlds and her brother being captured by strange gods,
At the same time, Ying was also a little puzzled as to why Ruo Ban was so surprised, and the people of Mondstadt such as Captain Qin didn't react so much when they found out that she was a traveler from another world.
"In Liyue, there are some stories about visitors from other worlds, but those stories are also rumors, and I haven't heard of anyone who has actually seen visitors from another world."
"And if you didn't say you were a visitor from another world, I thought you were a Mondstadt."
Ruo Ban looked at Ying's blonde hair, which he had the impression that only Mondstadt could have this color, and Diluc nodded approvingly.
"If I hadn't researched this traveler before, I'd probably think of her as a Mondstadt, but as a land of freedom, some travelers from other worlds do like to stay here, and we people in Mondstadt aren't too surprised by these foreign guests."
"Liyue, on the other hand, seems to be paying special attention to this kind of otherworldly traveler."
Diluc said something about Ruoban, and Ruoban shrugged his shoulders indifferently, given the nature of the immortals in Liyue, who were from other worlds whose origins were unknown and didn't know if they were harmful to Liyue, the immortals would definitely take some measures to restrain or monitor them.
Even if the immortals didn't take action, the Seven Stars of Liyue would always be on the lookout for those travelers from other worlds, and if they wanted to investigate or spy on someone, they would be able to see if that person went to the toilet for a minute longer than usual.
"Hearing what Master Diluc said, I feel like Liyue is in danger."
Paimon secretly drank all the grape juice from Ying's glass and wiped her mouth and scratched her head with some cringe, but Ying didn't have anything to worry about, anyway, she was just going to find her brother and she didn't do anything bad, even if Liyue wasn't as free as Mondstadt, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Even if it's dangerous, I'll go to Liyue to find clues about my brother, maybe the rock god will know something."
"Well, okay, then I'll have to go with you, and now that we know a Liyue person, if you wait for us to go to Liyue, you'll cover us, right?"
Paimon graciously took an apple from her small space and handed it to Ruoban, who took a bite of the apple and patted his chest with a bold reassurance.
"Paimon, don't worry, for Apple's sake, if you encounter something that is not fair in Liyue, just mention my name, if it still is not even, then go to me, and I will help you settle it."
"Really! That's great! In the future, we will be an apple friend, and if you are forbidden to do so, you must take care of us more. ”
Paimon, who was infected by Ruoban's words, smiled, and the not-so-smart little Paimon had already begun to fantasize about her walking sideways in Liyue, and Ying glanced at Paimon who was in a fantasy, and Ying, who was alone, cast a tentative look at Ruoban.
"If you're worried about getting him in trouble, you don't have to."
"If Ruo's power in Liyue were to be converted to Mondstadt, he would be the equivalent of Jean's younger brother and Lisa as his teacher, and Kaeya had always wanted him to succeed as the captain of the cavalry."
"He's said so, so congratulations Traveler, your journey in Liyue should go a lot smoother."
Diluc's words made Ying open her mouth in surprise, Ying felt for the first time that Paimon's emergency food had other functions besides eating, maybe she could increase Paimon's food expenses a little in the future?
Ying, who was thinking about how much to raise Paimon's food expenses, subconsciously picked up the cup and wanted to take a sip of grape juice, but only a cloud of air was left in her mouth, watching Paimon keep rubbing her little belly with her hands, Ying felt that it was better to raise the food cost or something in the next life, and the emergency food would taste better if she was thinner or thinner
