Shadow to the mountain, Narukami Taisha

"Traveler, you're back?" Wendy looked at Ying and Paimon as they arrived, and greeted, "You've been here for so long, and Shadow and Yae Miko have already come out." ”

"Just now Ying met Ayaka and taught her swordsmanship." Paimon explained.

"So that's the case, how about it, are they going to go to the Kamisato Ayaka you said?"

Paimon replied, "They said there was something going on in Inazuma, so they won't go to this Moon Festival." ”

"What about Miko and Kage? What do they say? ”

"Of course we're going, and there's nothing to do in Inazuma, so it's better to go somewhere else with Ei." Yae Miko said excitedly holding Kage's arm.

Shadow: "."

A drama was just staged in Yae Miko's house, although she was in a good mood, but Yae Miko seemed to be starting to feel wrong, and became particularly clingy, just like the little fox before, but it was Yae Miko as a little fox, and it was a little different from the current humanoid Yae Miko, and this feeling made her feel weird.

"When are you going to leave?" Paimon asked.

"Of course it's now, since it's decided, let's go early, and it will take some time to take the boat." Yae Miko replied.

After Yae Miko finished speaking, everyone except Klee and Shadow looked at her strangely, making her a little flustered, and whispered, "What's wrong with you, why are you looking at me with this expression?" Am I not right? I don't want to fly straight to Liyue. ”

"Go by boat yourself." Shadow turned his head and glanced at Yae Miko and said.

Yae Miko: "??? ”

"Hey, let's teleport back then, but it seems that Shadow and Miko don't have this, can they also go over?" Wendy said that something suddenly came to mind, and pointed to the green earrings on her ears.

"Of course, this can't, bringing people to teleport can only be within the range of the tree, and bringing people in from the outside is not allowed." Zhongli replied.

"Wouldn't it be nice if you made one for them?" Wendy said.

The Great Mercy Tree King said: "No, they must be allowed to enter the range of the tree to enter their information, otherwise it will be too difficult to directly enter the information outside." ”

Wendy scratched her head and said, "Okay. ”

Paimon frowned and said, "Then how are we going to get there, we won't really let Shadow and Miko fly over, right?" And the spatial ability of the tassel is not used at this time. ”

"Yes." The Great Mercy Tree King said suddenly.

"Huh?" Paimon looked up at the Great Mercy Tree King in surprise and said in surprise, "Didn't you say you couldn't use it before?" ”

"Oh, I lied to you, who knew you believed it." The Great Mercy Tree King replied with a blank face.

Paimon: "."

Whether this person is tasseled or not, his attitude is so bad, but he doesn't dare to give her a nickname, so tangled and uncomfortable.

Ying said to Paimon on the side, "I said you were stupid, but you still don't believe it." ”

"Obviously she said it herself? Why do you say I'm stupid again, I'm so angry! ”

"If you're angry again, I won't buy you anything to eat when you get to Liyue."

Ying's words directly made Paimon's angry face collapse, and he said to Ying with a flattering face, "Hey, I'm just kidding, how can I be really angry, so buy me something delicious, okay?" ”

"Well, it's up to you." Yingrong replied expressionlessly.

Paimon: "."

The Great Mercy Tree King used the tassel method to reach into the space in front of him, positioning himself in the tassel's small courtyard in Liyue, and then jerked it.

Tear and pull.

There was a hole in the space in front of him that could pass through a person, and inside this opening was the appearance of the tassel in the Liyue Garden.

"Okay, that's amazing." Yae Miko looked at the Great Mercy Tree King's methods with a shocked expression, this special authority she had never heard of.

"Let's go." After the Great Cishu King finished speaking, he took the lead in walking into the spatial crack.

Wendy said with a curious face: "Hey, although I have seen it a few times, it is the first time I have passed it by myself, and it is really amazing that I can come to another country by taking a step forward." ”

One by one, everyone arrived in Liyue through the spatial rift, and as Zhongli finally stepped out of the spatial rift, the Great Mercy Tree King erased the spatial rift in front of him as if it had never existed.

"Now it's Liyue? Just a blink of an eye? ”

Hearing Yae Miko's words, Shadow turned his head to look at her and said with a disdainful expression: "Rare and strange, just like a local girl who has never seen the world." ”

Yae Miko: "."

It's obvious that you haven't seen the world in 500 years, why do you say that I'm a local girl? Are you polite?

Paimon suggested to the group, "Since you're back, Liyue, let's go to Wanmin Hall for dinner first, it's been a long time since I've eaten there, so I miss it." ”

Zhong Li bowed his head and said, "Acceptable." ”

"However, I left in too haste, and I didn't take Mora with me." Yae Miko said with a frown.

"Neither do I." Shadow replied.

"Klee, Klee, Klee." Klee said with a scurry.

"Huh? Why does Klee have Mora? Paimon asked curiously.

Klee took out a small bag and said to Paimon, "This is Klee's. ”

"Well, there are too few Mora, not enough for everyone to eat." Paimon said with a smile as he looked at the five hundred Mora in Klee's pouch.

Hearing Paimon's words, Klee lowered her head in some frustration, "Hmm, okay. ”

"I think 500 Mora is a lot." Wendy said with a wink.

Paimon: "."

In the end, it was Ying who offered a treat, because none of the people in the group had Mora, and Tassel's wallet was abducted by the apprentice.

Wanmin Hall

"Xiangling, we're here!" Paimon said to Xiangling, who was helping Master Mao inside.

"Alas! It's Traveler and Paimon! Xiangling shouted in surprise.

Master Mao greeted Ying warmly, "Yo, this is not a traveler!" I actually have time to come over today, what do you want to eat? ”

"Master Mao, I want a bigger table, there are still many people here today." Paimon said from the side.

Master Mao replied, "Are there a lot of people coming?" There happened to be a room upstairs. ”

"Yo, isn't this a tassel girl, long time no see, what do you want to eat today? There are also ready-made ones for fairy jumping over the wall. ”

Master Mao greeted the King of Daci Tree who walked in more enthusiastically, because the tassel is the number one customer here, although the price of Wanmintang is not expensive, but with the way of eating tassels, Master Mao still makes a lot of money.

"Oh? Then as many as you want, today's traveler treats. King Dacishu said with a smile.

"It turns out that the object of the traveler's treat is you, hurry up, it's still that location, and the food will come soon."

"Well, I feel that Master Mao is more enthusiastic about tassels than we are." Paimon looked at Master Mao with a smile on his face and said helplessly to Ying.

"If you eat so often, and for so long, he will be so enthusiastic about you." Yingrong replied expressionlessly.

From Xiangling, she learned that tassels had been eating at Wanmin Hall since she was a child, and that was the only thing that happened every day, and although tassels did not appear much in Liyue, Xiangling's family, who had always seen her in Wanmin Hall, gradually knew that she was an immortal, just like Ganyu.

And the tassel sometimes points out the seasoning supplies they use to cook, although it is according to her own taste, but how can the taste of an immortal be bad? These actions also led to a boom in Wanmintang's business.

However, as a people-friendly restaurant, Wanmintang will naturally not be very tall, and the dishes are all bought by ordinary people, of course, these eating out are far less cost-effective than cooking by themselves, so except for some necessary times, most people still like to cook and eat by themselves.

And some businessmen will not set the banquet in Wanmin Hall, but more choose a place like Liuli Pavilion that looks tall.

"Well, yes." Paimon said embarrassedly, scratching his head.

"Oh, Mr. Zhongli, why are you here, and this bard of Mondstadt, and these two?" Master Mao saw Zhongli, Wendy, Yae Miko, Shadow, and Nahida Klee coming later.

"Introduction, this pink-haired man is called Yae Miko, this is Shadow, and they came from Inazuma." Paimon explained to Master Mao.

"Oh, it turned out to be a distinguished guest from afar, hurry up and take a seat, what you want to eat, the food will be ready immediately."

"Master Mao, Klee wants to eat boiled blackback perch." Klee said to Master Mao on the side.

"Okay, do it right away." For a cute little girl like Klee, Master Mao said with a smile like a daughter.

Master Mao also knew that Nahida should also be at the level of an immortal, of course she would not treat Nahida like Klee, but the appearance of Nahida's child still made Master Mao ask her kindly: "What about Nahida, what do you want to eat?" Is it still the same? ”

Because she inherited the tassel purse, Nahida has not been here to eat often, and of course she has eaten all but seafood.

"Well, it's the same as before." Nahida bowed.

"Okay, if you want to order other dishes and tell Xiangling directly, I don't know your taste for the rest, then I'll go to cook first, you can wait upstairs for the dishes and it will be fine." After speaking, Master Mao walked into the kitchen with a happy face,

"It seems that they are very familiar with this master called Mao here, and he even knows the taste." Yae Miko said to Kage with a smile.

Shadow replied, "Well, let's try Liyue's food here, too." ”

Everyone followed Xiangling to the position and sat down.

Xiangling took out the bill behind her and handed it to Ying and said, "The menu is here, and there are still some that are not fully written, if you need it, you can say it, see if we can make it." ”

"Then you're welcome. I want this, this, and this, don't worry about it. Paimon excitedly snatched the menu from Ying's hand and said to Xiangling.

"Okay, good, speak slowly, don't be in a hurry." Xiangling replied with a smile.

"Well, I'm almost done, Miko, Shadow, do you want anything to eat?" Paimon asked Yae Miko and Kage.

"I can do whatever I want." Shadow replied.

"Hmm, do you have any fried tofu dishes in Liyue, just give me a few." Yae Miko's request is very simple, she only needs fried tofu.

"Fried tofu type dishes? I know. ”

Paimon turned to the two of them and beckoned, "Zhongli and Wendy, do you want anything?" ”

"I can say anything, you can order some, as long as it's enough, I don't have any requirements." Wendy said.

Zhongli bowed his head and said, "Me too." ”

"Hmm, okay, Xiangling, you can take a look at some of Liyue's signature dishes, neither Miko nor Kage have eaten them."

"Mm-hmm, I'll report the menu first, and I'll discuss something with you later." After speaking, Xiangling went downstairs in a hurry.

After a while, Xiangling ran up again in a hurry.

Paimon scratched his head and wondered, "What did Xiangling do with us?" ”

"You guys should have seen it all the way, right? There are a lot of moon festival decorations in the city! ”

Paimon replied, "We're here to celebrate the Moon Festival, and I heard from Zhongli that the Moon Festival is a grand festival for the people of Liyue to celebrate the bright moon in autumn, and thousands of years ago, the immortals would still be seeking the Immortal Way on this day." ”

"Yes, I just wanted to explain it to you, but I didn't expect Mr. Zhongli to tell you." Xiangling nodded in agreement.

"But now it's different, during the Moon Festival, we eat delicious food, visit relatives and friends, enjoy the moon and flowers... It's much simpler, and it's all things that everyone likes and doesn't hassle. ”

"Wow, is it like this now, it sounds like my favorite festival!" Paimon said excitedly.

Ying glanced at Paimon and said, "Well, Paimon got excited as soon as he heard about the food." ”

"So, have you two been available lately? I'm going to participate in this year's Chef Competition, and I want you to be my food consultant! ”

Master Mao, who came up with the dishes, heard Xiangling's words and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, find a friend to make some suggestions, and have a wider range of ideas!" ”

"Chef Championship? Does Liyue still have this kind of competition? Paimon asked, a little confused, as he turned his gaze to Zhongli and the Great Mercy Tree King.

The King of the Great Cishu replied lightly: "I don't know, I didn't live in the past before. ”

Zhongli touched his chin and said, "The King of Chef Competition, at first glance, it sounds quite interesting. ”

Paimon: "."

Well, why don't you two understand these things as the gods of Liyue? I'm afraid it's a fake.

Seeing the puzzled people, Xiangling suddenly thought of something and said, "Ah, I understand, you shouldn't have heard of it." ”

"Each edition of the Festival of the Moons has a different theme, usually designated by the Seven Stars. This year's theme is Food and Mountains and Rivers, and in response to this theme, Seven Stars also held a cooking competition. ”

"Seven stars?" Zhongli touched his chin and thought, "Then you can understand." ”

"You don't even know that, do you?" The Great Cishu King couldn't help but complain.

Zhongli replied expressionlessly: "It's just a trivial matter, not enough to worry about." ”

King of the Great Mercy Tree: "."

At this time, Paimon fully manifested the role of the mouth of the gods: "Food and mountains and rivers... Food and hometown scenery are a good topic! ”

Xiangling happily agreed: "I think too! I heard that Miss Ningguang personally appointed it, she's so amazing... It's always unfathomable..."

"I want to participate in the Chef Competition, but to be honest, it's a lot of brains to think of new dishes, and I have to try dishes after thinking about it... Over time, judgment has declined. ”

"So, I'd like to ask you to accompany me to gather your thoughts on food! This time, I want to break out of the usual way of thinking, and I need to ask a few more people to collect different ideas. ”

Hearing Xiangling's request, Ying looked at the exclamation mark on Xiangling's head and fell into deep thought, she was thinking about whether to fish or go with Xiangling, but in the end she still didn't resist the temptation of the golden exclamation mark.

"Okay, I promised." Ying said.

"Uh-huh, after all, we have friends all over the world, right?"

Ying glanced at Paimon and said, "If you didn't talk a little less, I wouldn't have so many friends." ”

"Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand it. Paimon scratched his head in confusion when he heard Ying's words.

Ying replied, "It's fine. ”

Xiangling said happily: "Then let's say it." ”

"When we're done, let's visit our friends in Liyue and ask them what they think."

"Mm-hmm, that's great, that's great. After a while, when the pot comes back, let's all set off together! Hearing Paimon's words, Xiangling's eyes narrowed.

At this time, Master Mao suddenly shouted upstairs: "Xiangling has you finished talking, the dishes are almost done, if it's okay, you can also help serve it." ”

"Come, come, have already talked, and the traveler agreed to go with me." Hearing Master Mao's words, Xiangling hurriedly walked downstairs to help serve the food.

"A cooking competition? If you go with tassels, you'll definitely win the championship, right? Shadow said suddenly.

Zhongli bowed his head and said, "In terms of universal reason, it is true. ”

Zhongli didn't know how the tassels were made, but the taste was more delicious than his impression, and even the slippery seafood, Zhongli could think it tasted good.

"Me? Wouldn't it be a sure win if I went? What's the point of that? Speaking of this, the Great Mercy Tree King thought of something interesting and proposed to the shadow: "If you don't want the shadow, you can try it?" ”

Ying was mentioned to cook by the King of the Great Cishu Tree, and she scratched her head a little embarrassed and said, "Me? May I? ”

King Dacishu said with a serious face: "Of course you can, because the food you make is delicious." ”

"Well, I'll try it then." Although Shadow was entangled, he still agreed to the proposal of the Great Mercy Tree King.

Because she knew that what the Great Cishu King said was true, because the other party really thought that what she made was delicious, although the tassel (Dacishu King) was shocked to see the arc of electricity coming out of his mouth when he ate.

The King of the Great Cishu patted the photo's shoulder and said with relief: "Don't worry, I will also blend in with the judges when the time comes, and give you a high score." ”

Shadow turned to the Great Mercy Tree King and said seriously, "Well, thank you, Tassel. ”

"That's it, how do you know the result if you don't try it, besides, the food you make is delicious, be confident, and maybe you can win the championship." The second time, King Dacishu said to the shadow that her food was delicious

"I know, I'll try to win the championship." Hearing the words of the Great Mercy Tree King, Ying suddenly felt that he was not nervous, on the contrary, he was a little eager to try.

Yae Miko: "."

Listening to the conversation between the Great Cishu King and Shadow, she was a little skeptical that she had eaten a fake meal before, and that time she ate Shadow's food and almost soared, but fortunately, the Fox Palace was on the side, and was pulled back by her soul. Since then, she has developed a fear of Kage's cooking.

And Shadow, how did you have the confidence to win the championship? Who gave you courage? That woman?
