Chapter 83: Day 1 of Mond's Chapter
I suddenly remembered that when the traveler first participated in the Wind Flower Festival, Inazuma had not yet opened, so there was no need to follow the plot of Lao Mi, so I won't worry about it.
------------
The big windmill squeaked as it turned in the wind, but the residents of Mondstadt had long been accustomed to such sounds and did not find them noisy.
In the inherent cognition of the Mond people, this never-ending wind represents the blessing of Lord Barbatos, the god of wind. Only a city-state with wind can be called the City of Wind and Dandelions.
During the Wind Flower Festival, the entire Mondstadt city changed its appearance. A large number of sky blue carpets were laid on the streets, beautiful wreaths were hung on the walls of the houses as decorations, and every store would display their favorite bouquets in front of the door. The statue of the God of Wind in Mondstadt Square was filled with flowers of various colors.
"Huh... I haven't been back for a long time. It turns out that Mondstadt has the most relaxing atmosphere."
Looking at the soul-healing scene before her, Paimon let out a long sigh. The warm sunlight shone on her body, and the breeze brought the fragrance of flowers to her face, which gently soothed her spirit that was devastated by the gloomy and terrifying environment of Abyss Palace.
"Well, of course the scenery in Inazuma is not bad, but I don't know why I always feel a sense of oppression. Although there are many people in Mondstadt who like to be lazy and even need help with small things, the atmosphere here is still very much in line with the name of the Free City."
Paimon continued to complain.
"I can't pretend I didn't hear something so outrageous."
A teasing voice came from behind. Little Paimon, who was talking bad about others behind their backs, turned around with a start and saw a cavalry captain of Mond standing behind him.
"Uh...it's Kaia. You scared me."
Paimon patted her chest. It was no big deal to complain to someone she was familiar with. But it would be bad if other Mond people wanted to argue with her.
"Hello, Kong, Paimon, and... Mr. Shui Qingli."
Kaia greeted them with a smile.
"Did you just come from the Dawn Winery?"
Kaeya came from the direction of the city gate, with the sweet scent of grapes on his body. In the entire Mondstadt, only the Dawn Winery had a large number of vineyards planted.
"Yes, it's the Wind Flower Festival. I went back and gave a flower to each of the beautiful maid sisters who took care of me when I was a child."
Kaia blinked playfully, revealing his left eye with star-like marks engraved on it, which was the proof that he was a descendant of Kanreya.
"Did Master Diluk send it too?"
Already knowing the conflict between Kaeya and Diluk, Paimon asked curiously.
"Of course, something as romantic and beautiful as flowers should be given to a beautiful girl. There is no need to give it to that tasteless wood. Besides, even if I give it to him, he will probably just say that it is a meaningless waste of time and energy."
He shrugged and said helplessly.
"This is very much like Master Diluk's style of doing things."
Paimon nodded and said with a serious face.
"But I remember that there was an ugly and unartistic vase in the Dawn Winery. Although Master Diluk said he disliked it, he didn't throw the vase away."
Kong laughed and interrupted, saying that these two brothers always liked to tease each other like this, even though they obviously had feelings for each other, which was really awkward.
"That's probably because he likes that vase very much."
The cheeky cavalry captain said without changing his expression.
"Well, I have to go back to work for the Knights. The Knights will be very busy during the Wind Flower Festival. I hope you have fun."
He walked away with steady steps.
Shui Qingli did not interrupt halfway. He had a good relationship with Diluk, but since Mondstadt had not yet fully integrated the rules of the continent of Teyvat, he basically would not take the initiative to deal with others, including Kaeya.
"I'm also going to the Knights of Favonius to visit Lisa and Jean. Do you want to come with me?"
Paimon's mind was no longer on chatting. The aroma of food came from both sides of the street. Mond's desserts were of many varieties and sweet and delicious, making her drool.
Looking at her, Kong spread his hands helplessly.
"From the looks of her, I guess she can't leave. You go first. I'll go say hello to my friends later if I have time."
The Wind Flower Festival should be considered a relatively relaxing festival for the Knights. Apart from the large amount of flower decorations on the site, the Knights do not need to invest too much capital and manpower, because this festival is often the most visited by couples.
Young people who are in love do not need too much support from activities. They will choose the appropriate way to spend a perfect holiday with their loved ones.
So Lisa can still sit in Qin's office as usual, reading and drinking tea leisurely.
"Ok?"
There were footsteps at the door. This was a very common thing, as there were always many people coming and going in the Knights Templar.
But Lisa withdrew her attention from the book and raised her head. She seemed to feel a familiar breath that she had not seen for a long time.
"It turned out to be Xiao Shuishui."
Shui Qingli was wearing a sky blue shirt and a jacket of the same color. The collar of the jacket was turned up and fastened with buttons in the middle. He paired it with ankle-length trousers of the same color. He was wrapped up tightly compared to when he first came to Mondstadt, when he exposed much more skin.
"Oh, I thought you were having so much fun outside that you forgot about Mond."
Lisa held her face in her hands, her tone revealing resentment, but her smiling eyes clearly showed that she was just teasing him.
"I'm really sorry. I went to Inazuma some time ago and wasted a lot of time at sea."
Shui Qingli smiled and said sorry. To be honest, when he first came to Mondstadt, Lisa really helped him a lot, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to speak the common language clearly.
"I brought you some books from Inazuma that might interest you."
In addition to light novels, Yaedo actually has many other types of books, but they are not as popular as light novels. Some boring humanities and history books are not very popular, but Lisa prefers this kind of things.
Because many unknown truths and secrets are often hidden in such books.
"In that case, I forgive you."
She accepted the gift readily.
"And Captain Qin, I brought you some Liyue's Qingxin Tea. My friends in Liyue said it can calm your mind. You often drink coffee, so why not change your taste occasionally?"
Of course, you can't give a gift to just one person. Qin is busy with work and drinks as much coffee as water every day. Qingxin tea can soothe her tired spirit very well and is also a very suitable gift.
"Thank you. I will enjoy it."
Taking the gift he handed over, Qin smiled softly.
The friends that Lisa acknowledges are naturally also her friends.
