Mondstadt, the wind rises.

Tassel looked at the bottles of wine that Wendy had just dug out of the soil on the small table, and couldn't help but complain: "Wendy, you just entertain us like this for a Fenghua Festival?" ”

"It's just, it's too stingy." Yae Miko also nodded and agreed: "It's okay if you don't invite you to dinner, and you even gave us wine that has been there for an unknown number of years." ”

"Oh, I can't say that, this is a wine I've collected for thousands of years, and I can't even drink it myself."

Wendy picked up a bottle of wine on the table and opened the lid, and suddenly a mellow aroma filled the air.

"Well, it's a good wine, indeed." Zhongli said with some surprise: "Moreover, I think these fine wines have a special meaning to you, right?" ”

"yes." Wendy smiled and nodded, "However, memories are just memories after all. ”

"Now, I take out these wines and drink them, which means that I don't want to fall into memories anymore, and I want to move forward with you in the future."

"I see." Tassel bowed his head and said, "Since you have decided to do so, then I am not welcome." ”

"Alas, wait, you drink less tassels, your way of drinking is really tyrannical!"

Tassel: "Tsk, I just said it was so good, but I didn't let you drink it." ”

"If you drink normally, I won't dissuade you, your way of drinking is really not flattering, people drink water slower than you." Wendy said helplessly.

"Okay, then you drink, I'll drink Lotia."

Venti: "??? ”

Zhongli: "??? ”

"Can Lotia drink?" Wendy looked at the tassel with a confused expression.

"Yes, she's a water elemental, and not only that, but she can also conjure up the flavor I want, which is not much better than wine."

"How do you drink it?"

"Of course, it's a straw to drink." Tassel replied with a flat face: "As a grass god, it's normal for me to find a water element's dependents to drink water, right?" ”

Wendy: "."

Is this normal? It's not normal at all, okay.

Zhongli was silent for a long time before he spoke, "It's you, Tassel." ”

The act of tassels is simply unheard of for the two gods, and is that what you find a dependant to drink? Although they used to be pure water elves, it would be weird, right?

Tassel also opened Skynet to contact Lotia, only to learn that she was told by Nahida to go to Fontaine to fry fish together.

"Huh? Lotia and Nahida had gone to Fontaine, alas, it was no longer possible. ”

"What are they doing in Fontaine?" Wendy wondered.

Tassel replied, "Oh, Nahida called to fry fish with Klee." ”

"Fry the fish, fry the fish, what are you going to Fontaine? Isn't Mondstadt's fish good for frying? ”

"Well, it's really not good to fry." Tassel replied, "They said that they were tired of eating fish in Shikoku and wanted to change their taste." ”

Wendy: "."

Wendy was silent for a moment and said with some hesitation: "That's the country of the water god Fcarus, so it's a bit bad to fry fish like this, right?" If they see it."

"That's why they called Lotia, because she is familiar with Fontaine, and Lotia can limit the power of the water god to a certain extent." Tassel spread his hands and said, "I just hope they don't blow up Fontaine this time." ”

"Okay." Seeing that the tassels said so, Wendy didn't say anything more.

Flokalos, the god of water, sorry, is unfamiliar.

"By the way, I didn't say it just now, how did you turn golden now?" Wendy wondered.

"After the Great Ci Tree King was forgotten by the world, I didn't completely delete the memory of the World Tree, so that identity naturally can't be used, if it is known by the Flower God and the Red King, it will still be a little troublesome."

Tassel explained, "I'm too lazy to modify the World Tree's memories anymore. ”

"And what is your status now?" Wendy wondered.

Tassel spread his hands and replied, "My current status is that of an ordinary idle person in Liyue, who has no job and no money, and can only rely on the help of his apprentice and Ganyu. ”

Wendy couldn't help but speak: "Isn't that just a social waster?" ”

Zhongli: "Ahem. ”

"Almost, in fact, there is nothing bad about being wasted in society, at least you don't have to go to work." Tassel replied, "The only regret is that I have no money to use without Liyue. ”

"So, when I'm in Mondstadt, why don't you, as an old friend, entertain us properly? Fulfill the friendship of landlords? ”

"Ahem, few people in Mondstadt know that I am the god of wind, and now I am also a bard who sings for a living"

Tassel glanced at Wendy, shook his head and said with a look of regret: "Alas, what a disappointment, I didn't expect a wind god to fall into such a situation." ”

"Are you embarrassed to say me? Aren't you the same yourself? The god of wisdom, the immortal king. ”

"It's different, I'm already dead, whether it's the identity of the Immortal Monarch or the identity of the Great Cishu King, but the wind god Barbatos is not dead." Tassel shook his head and said, "Look at Ying and Nahida, what do they want, and then look at you." ”

"If I go to Inazuma, both Kage and Miko will arrange it for me."

Shadow nodded in agreement, "Well, that's right. ”

Wendy: "."

"Forget it, I won't tell you, anyway, I can't talk about you, drink and drink."

Not long after Klee and Nahida left, Albedo's sudden arrival, after a few discussions, coupled with Albedo's unique opinion of Nahida, made Cyno's anxious mood relaxed, and under Albedo's arrangement, they agreed to go to the fruit wine lake for a picnic in the afternoon.

As twilight falls, dusk approaches, and after a sumptuous dinner, everyone sits around the campfire.

"The [flavored fried fish] dish just now is really good, I didn't look at the method, but the umami seems to come from more than the fish itself." Tighnari spoke.

Paimon replied, "Absolutely, this is the special flavor we got in Liyue, but we didn't expect it to taste so good when used as a fish." ”

"I see, it's a special essence." Tighnari nodded, "That's a shame. ”

"Do Tighnari still want to eat [fried fish with flavor]?" Paimon wondered.

"Yes, the taste is very good, that special essence, I don't know what elements it contains, as soon as I enter it, I feel that my body wants to dance unconsciously with the thoughts in my mind."

With that, Tighnari suddenly stood up and made two iron mountain movements with his back to the group.

"That way, it's much more comfortable." Tighnari did two and a half sets of movements before he breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his seat and spoke.

Paimon: "."

Ying: "."

"Paimon, Tassel said that this is an essence made from the mushrooms on the Sumeru Ling's dinosaur mushroom, and it will make people hallucinate when eaten." Ying whispered to Paimon, "I just said that it's a little weird, I feel like I've turned into a feather mushroom and wants to do a few things." ”

"Huh? So before us? ”

"I didn't know just now, I smelled the smell and felt fragrant, and it was marked as [essence], so I used it to fry fish, but fortunately, the flavor made by this Lingling mushroom is not poisonous and will not be harmful to the body."

"So, do you want this seasoning for Tighnari?"

"Give it, it's not poisonous after all."

Paimon's voice fell, and he turned to Tighnari and said, "Tighnari, we have some special [essences] here, if you like it, I'll give you one." ”

"Really?" Tighnari was surprised, "Isn't this [essence] too valuable?" After all, it tastes so good. ”

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, this is given to us by a friend, and we have a lot of other spices." Paimon waved his hand and said, "Tighnari has helped us a lot before, and we haven't had time to thank you yet." ”

"Thanks, then you're welcome." Tighnari said with a smile.

Sucrose waited for a while and saw that no one spoke, so he whispered to everyone, "Well, does anyone want to try my nutritious meal in a while?" ”

Cyno replied flatly, "I want one." ”

"What about Collet? You don't seem to have eaten much, is it because you have a bad appetite these two days? ”

Collei shook his head and explained, "Ah, I don't have a lot of food in the first place. ”

Sucrose: "."

Sucrose nodded and walked silently in the direction of the nutritious meal he cooked.

Collei: "."

"Little cutie, bring me one too." Elysia shouted with a smile at Sucrose.

Sucrose was stunned when she heard Elysia's voice, and immediately responded, "Ah, okay. ”

Collei glanced at Sucrose, who was busy working, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm not cold."

"Tighnari, on the road that day, we saw something white walking on two legs, is that Paimon?" Cyno didn't answer Collet's words, but turned to Tighnari on his left and asked.

"Which day?" Tighnari didn't understand what Cyno meant, and asked with some confusion.

"It's just past the day of the Stone Gate."

Tighnari: "."

"Cyno, are you dazzled? Or is the hat blocking the eyes? Paimon looked at Cyno suspiciously, "I always fly, and I never walk on the ground." ”

"That's right." Cyno nodded and said:

"I thought Paimon was eating a lot. [Luoluomei]. ”

Everyone:(ーー ゙).

"Isn't it funny?" Cyno waited for a moment, not hearing the laugh he wanted, so he turned his head and wondered.

"Because of [Luoluomei]'s [fall], Paimon [fell] on the ground."

"Elysia, what's wrong with you?"

Elysia folded her arms and shrunk her neck and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel a little cold." ”

Paimon: "."

"Why don't you stop him?" Ying wondered.

"It's part of getting to know each other, and at best, Cyno does think of you as friends." Tighnari replied a little reluctantly.

"Do you want to experiment with this hypothesis?" Albedo suddenly proposed.

"What's that?"

Albedo replied, "Does the native plants of Mondstadt have a systemic effect on the bodily functions of floating living beings?" ”

"Don't treat me like an experiment!" Paimon was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "Besides, according to your logic, will I become that chubby if I eat Dundun peaches?" ”

Ying pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Do you know who can complete the superconducting reaction by themselves and themselves?" ”

"Tassels, huh?" Paimon asked, scratching his head, a little uncertain.

"No, it's Cyno."

"Why?" Paimon wondered.

"Because his joke is cold, ice and thunder can produce superconducting reactions, no, freeze me to death." Elysia replied.

Paimon looked at Ying Dao with an incredulous expression, "Ying, why are you too?" ”

Cyno: "."

"Hahahaha." Tighnari couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Do you know who my worst enemy is?" Paimon said huffingly.

"Cyno?"

Paimon was surprised, "Well, how do you know?" ”

"Because he played Paimon."

Paimon: "."

Everyone: "."

"Hahahaha." When everyone was silent, Collei laughed too, "It's still the jokes of Traveler and Paimon that make people happier than Mr. Cyno's jokes." ”

You are prejudiced against me, it must have accumulated over a long period of time." Cyno stared blankly at Collei.

"Cyno, you seem to have become a lot more cheerful since you came to Mondstadt! How does it feel different from when you were in Sumeru? ”

Cyno replied, "Because I'm Cyno the Adventurer." ”

"It's not funny," Ying said expressionlessly.

"Huh? Isn't it funny? ”

Tighnari explained helplessly: "Also, you have only seen his working state during that time in Sumeru. Actually, it's always been like this when he's in a good mood. ”

"Yes, I can testify as well. When eating, I occasionally complain that the bowl is too shallow to hold the food or something, and I will say something unexpected to me anyway. Collei nodded in agreement.

"I see. To reintroduce myself, I was Cyno the Chronicle of the Great Wind, and from now on, please think of me as Cyno the Adventurer. ”

"Yes, that's it! Keep repeating the sentence that you find interesting until you accept it. ”

"So there are two states? It's fun, it's as free as material transformation. I want to learn this too! ”

Sucrose's sudden words made Albedo can't help but complain: "It's going to become an extremely serious Sucrose and a Sucrose who has been in a daze." ”

Sucrose: "."

"By the way, is there anything you need to do when you choose Mondstadt?"

In response to Albedo's doubts, Collei replied aloud, "Ah, I heard Lisa say that the Windflower Festival is one of the most important festivals in Mondstadt. ”

"I would like to take this opportunity to present the Flower of the Wind with all of you with a lot of love. Thank you for the care they have taken of me in the past."

"Having the opportunity to get out and about and make more new friends is also a good thing for Collei."

As soon as Tighnari's words fell, Cyno suddenly spoke, "[Pile high]. ”

Paimon scratched his head and said, "Huh? ”

"The sentence just now seems to be calling her [Claire], a similar format, I have also heard [Pile High]." Cyno explained, "However, on the continent of Teyvat, it seems that there are more naming conventions like [hooked fruit]"

Everyone: "."

Seeing this, Paimon whispered between Ying and Elysia, "Wow, this kind of scene that makes people so cold that they don't know how to answer, he actually continues to talk without changing his face"

"As for me," Tighnari began, "Sumeru has changed a lot lately, but my work has eased up. ”

"It's a rare opportunity to take a vacation to accompany Collei and see the flora and fauna of Mondstadt. Kill two birds with one stone. ”

Speaking of this, Tighnari thought about the previous incident again, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "But, Lord Grass God's side. ”

"Hmm." Paimon scratched his head, then shifted the subject, "What about Cyno?" ”

Cyno replied without changing his face, "Escort Collet." ”

"Excuses, this is really excuses."

In the face of Collei's merciless demolition, Cyno was silent for a while and then said, "The custom version of the back of the Seven Saints' call. ”

"Sure enough, there is another purpose!" Paimon exclaimed.

"You've all been summoned by the Seven Saints, right?" Cyno asked.

Ying nodded and said, "I've beaten it." ”

"Worthy of being my friend, you are very good." Cyno nodded and said, "After having the idea of changing the card back, I asked around, and finally decided to ask the legendary chalk teacher to go out of the mountain. ”

"Wait, is the back really that important?" Paimon interrupted, confused, "I think the original card back is pretty good." ”

"You don't understand." Cyno shook his head and said, "It's a belief as a duelist. ”

Paimon: "."

Seeing Paimon's silence, Cyno continued, "Sawada, a card friend who participated in the Rongcai Festival in Sumeru, told me that Mr. Chalk is from Mondstadt and can try his luck in Mondstadt. ”

"Chalk Sensei, that's not it"

With that, Paimon and Ying set their eyes on Albedo, who wasn't far away.

"What, is it your friend?"

"I see, you came to Mondstadt to find Chalk." Albedo nodded understandingly.

Cyno shook his head and replied solemnly, "No, you can't say that, it's mainly to escort Collei over." ”

"No, Collei has been to Mondstadt several times, and this is the only time you came with you." Tighnari glanced at Cyno and said, "If it weren't for the summoning of the Seven Saints that flowed into Sumeru from Liyue a few months ago, you probably wouldn't have come to Mondstadt." ”

"Don't just talk about me, don't you yourself?"

"If my writer friend had been there, he'd probably say it's a book."

Albedo's sudden words surprised Paimon and asked, "Are you going to admit it?" ”

"Wait, are you the chalk teacher?!"

Albedo got up and replied, "It's a bit inappropriate for a new friend to call me by my pen name. Just call me Albedo. ”

"What, you're the chalk teacher Cyno, this guy has been talking to you every day lately, saying that he must ask you to help design a version of the card back." Tighnari said in surprise.

"Tsk, don't say it."

"Normally, I don't accept private commissions, but after some contact, I have come to see you as friends." Albedo began, "You are all interesting and knowledgeable people. Moreover, Cyno's love for the summoning of the Seven Saints is extraordinary, which can be seen in his eyes. ”

"Of course." Cyno's jaw was the first to go.

"Thank you for coming all the way from Sumeru to find me. That being the case, I am honored to receive this commission. ”

Cyno asked, "So, how much honorarium should I prepare for this heavenly and earthless heirloom?"

"Shouldn't it be called a masterpiece?" Albedo was surprised.

Cyno replied with a serious face, "The painting that can be placed on the back of my Seven Saints Summoning Card must be a work of hand-me-down!" Allow me to say so. ”

"Let him be, they're all card lovers." Tighnari spoke.

"I see, dead faith"

When Albedo heard this, he couldn't help but think of the bard who came to him every once in a while to play cards.

"Then I'd like to hear a few more jokes." Thinking of this, Albedo continued.

"Jokes? Do you like my jokes? ”

This time it was Cyno's turn to be surprised.

"I like it." Albedo replied, "The two jokes that Traveler and Paimon told earlier are also good. ”

"But you didn't laugh just now."

Albedo explained: "Well, laughing or not laughing is another thing, I think it's funny. ”

"Would that joke be funny too?" Paimon scratched his head and looked at Albedo with a puzzled expression.

Tighnari sniffed his nose and suddenly said, "Well, let me interrupt first, do you smell any strange smell?" ”

"Ah, my nutritious meal!"

Sucrose, who was chatting with Collei on the side, suddenly thought of something and exclaimed.

"It seems that I can't eat the nutritious meal made by the little cutie, it's a pity~"
