Genshin Impact: Paimon and I are both Ying’s emergency food

Wendy, he just took a bottle of wine from behind the cabinet...

It’s better not to drink alcohol when doing serious work, right?

Tan Ningsu, who didn't like drinking very much, thought with some confusion.

"Put down the wine you took from the back of the cabinet."

Before Tan Ningsu could continue to worry, a clear male voice sounded from behind them.

"Ahahaha...I want something colder."

Wendy, who was "caught", said with some guilt.

"Perhaps you should answer my question."

The man looked at the four people expressionlessly.

"Let me finish my drink first, I'll pay the bill... um, I'll pay it off with my performance."

Wendy's brisk tone gradually became a little guilty under the man's calm gaze.

!

She was still thinking that drinking might cause trouble, but it turns out, Wendy, you don’t have money for drinking?!

Tan Ningsu looked at Wendy in shock.

Could you be more reliable?

Tan Ningsu was screaming in his heart.

Just like Tan Ningsu, Ying, who was a little overwhelmed by the answer to his guess,

Could this guy really be the God of Wind? !

"It's not about the money, it's that you don't look old enough to buy alcohol."

The man spoke in a calm tone, causing the four people present to fall silent.

Tan Ningsu: Wendy looks young, but she knows Tevarin, so she must be quite old! Ying also looks young, but her actual age is unknown. As for her and Paimon...

Neither of them looked old enough to drink.

Wow, can she say that she is really a good child who abides by the law? (Tan Susu: Ignore the previous plan to steal the piano!)

Before today, she had never stepped into a pub or any pub-like place, not even standing at the door!

"Don't worry about that. You were still here when I was drinking—"

As Wendy was talking, she felt that she was about to reveal her cards, so she stopped immediately.

"Excuse me, sir, who are you?"

Tan Ningsu raised her hand obediently and asked.

Ying and Paimon also turned their gazes to the man.

"me?"

Diluk glanced at Tan Ningsu who seemed frightened by him, and was about to introduce himself when Wendy spoke again.

"Well, I guess this is Master Diluk, the big boss behind the tavern owner."

"He's a very famous person. By the way, I really like his dandelion wine!"

"Although...most of the time I can only afford to buy in bulk..."

When talking about wine, Wendy's tone immediately became excited, and then became depressed because she had no money.

“He’s missing the point.”

Tan Ningsu leaned close to Ying's ear and whispered to her what he knew about "Diluk".

"I want to listen too!"

Paimon had no idea what "whispering" meant, so he spoke in a loud voice.

"I also want to know what Miss Tan thinks of me."

Diluk on the side also spoke.

Woo~

She didn't learn her lesson...and was sanctioned again!

Tan Ningsu looked at Diluk somewhat embarrassedly.

"Actually, it's nothing..."

"Master Diluk, your family is very famous... You are also a young talent, and it is said that you are among the top three in Mondstadt's list of popular sons-in-law..."

As Tan Ningsu was talking, the topic turned to gossip.

"Wu~"

“This ranking sounds interesting!”

Wendy looked at Tan Ningsu with shining eyes, motioning her to say a little more.

"cough."

"I just heard something from the guards."

Diluk wasn't very interested in his own gossip and chose to change the subject.

When Diluk spoke, Paimon acted particularly guilty.

[Alas, there is no hope!]

Tan Ningsu and Ying thought with some headache.

Paimon you're a useless guy!

Tan Ningsu puffed up her little face and poked Paimeng.

[Woo~ Paimon knows he was wrong!]

Knowing that he had performed poorly, Paimeng hid in Tan Ningsu's arms.

"Let me make it clear first, I admire you for daring to steal the Sky Harp. Even if you are really fools, you are a fool rarely seen in a thousand years."

Diluk said it in a flat tone with a sense of taunting (looking at the fool).

"We didn't steal it! The real culprit is someone else—"

Paimon immediately jumped out of Tan Ningsu's arms and retorted.

"These three are the Knights' newest recruits. How could they be related to the theft of the holy relics in Mond?"

Wendy said without any guilt.

(Wendy: Why should you feel guilty? He didn’t lie!)

"The popular newcomer... ah, so it's you guys."

After hearing what Venti said, Diluk looked at Tan Ningsu and the other two, his tone slightly lamenting.

"So, you and this bard are acquaintances?"

Facing Diluk's question, Tan Ningsu and the other two looked at each other, and finally Ying spoke:

"We are not familiar with each other, we just heard each other perform once."

"And Wendy people are more enthusiastic~"

Tan Ningsu continued.

At most, they had met Wendy three times.

Except for the unpleasant first meeting, the "relationship" can be said to have made great progress in the two subsequent meetings.

Of course, this also depends on Wendy’s mysterious identity (Ying said that Wendy may not be a follower of the God of Wind, but he is probably not an ordinary person) and... he really knows a lot of secrets of the past (as can be seen from the narrative poem he played)!

And they really need Wendy's information~

"Ying's words sound so cold, or SuSu's (words) are obedient and pleasing!"

Wendy said, pretending to be very sad.

"Ah."

"As a traveler from a foreign land, he is willing to lend a helping hand to Mondstadt in distress. It is a pity for such a person to join the Knights' Order."

Diluk's tone was full of regret.

Tan Ningsu could sense that this Master Diluk didn't seem to like the Knights, but he had a good impression of Ying! (Tan Susu: Good taste! I've made a unilateral commitment to this friend! [A mediocre Ying-cooking cultivationjpg.])

Sure enough, Diluke’s next words confirmed Tan Ningsu’s feelings.

"The Knights of Favonius... have been timid and inefficient when it comes to the issue of the Wind Dragon."

"In diplomacy, he is also weak and conservative towards the Fatui..."

"Tsk... Never mind. I don't want to talk about this topic any more."

Diluk's tone was full of disdain and dissatisfaction towards the Knights of Favonius, as if he was ashamed to be associated with them.

Tan Ningsu remembered that Mr. Porto had mentioned that Master Diluc was once a member of the Knights...

Hmm...what on earth happened to cause such a drastic change in his thinking?

Tan Ningsu blinked.

"It sounds like Master Diluc really doesn't like the Knights."

Wendy sounded a little surprised.

“Just a different path.”

In response to Venti's words, Diluk directly gave the reason.

"I have my own expectations for the city of Mondstadt..."

!

This sounds strangely familiar...

Tan Ningsu became alert.

The richest man...has his own expectations for the city (country) he lives in...possessing special skills (having divine eyes, and was once an outstanding member of the Knights)...

Hmm... Is this some kind of Teyvat version of the "Dark Knight" character? !

Moreover, Tan Ningsu recalled some gossip in the city. It seems that Mondstadt really has a "Dark Night Hero"? !

No...could it be Master Diluk?

Tan Ningsu leaned behind Ying and stared at Diluk.

Should? It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Although the girl's eyes were very straightforward and she didn't know how to restrain herself, Diluk couldn't read minds and naturally didn't know that his vest was "crumbling". He just thought that the girl was looking at him in a "novel" way.

Just like what I got from Kaiya, among these three people, only the stranger named "Ying" is worth paying attention to, the other two...

The flying one is magical and rare, but Teyvat is so big, and it is not uncommon for simple-minded intelligent creatures to exist, so there is nothing to be surprised about.

The only one left is the delicate flower that has been carefully cared for in the greenhouse. She is smart but naive, ignorant of the sufferings of the world. She might be the kind of person who knows it is a trap but will still jump in after hesitation.

Unlike Miss "Ying", who doesn't care about tricks because of her strength, she was raised too kind and can't be cruel. In this respect, she is quite similar to the daughter of the Gunhild family who entered the cathedral.

Although my thoughts are complicated, in reality, it is just a moment.

"Well, answer my previous question. Why did you steal the Sky Harp?"

Diluk looked at the four people in front of him.
