Chapter 337 Comfort Party
"But the grilled fish is really delicious. It's worth it even if I get scolded..."
Liu Bai spoke Klee's lines weakly.
"Ah...girl, I was wrong! I don't want to eat it anymore!"
Then Liu Bai was dragged back home by Nashida's ear.
Since Nashida was much smaller than him, Liu Bai, who was being pulled by the ears, had to walk with his back bent the whole time.
The two passed by the stall of Mond blacksmith Wagner. Seeing this scene, Wagner couldn't help but laughed.
In this way, Liu Bai was pulled all the way back to the rental house. The room in the rental house had long been transformed by the pink-haired fox into a fox-themed room in the style of Inazuma. At this time, she was lying comfortably in the nest. When she saw Liu Bai and the others coming back, she was too lazy to say hello.
But Nashida pulled Liu Bai over, raised one hand to the pink-haired fox and gently tapped her head, using her power to make her fall into a peaceful sleep.
Then Nashida asked Liu Bai to take her back to the little white house.
After returning to the little white house, Nashida immediately rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen. Even though her sleeves were not that long, she still made this gesture.
Not long after, Nashida came out with a large pot of grilled fish.
She wants to let Liu Bai know who makes the best grilled fish!
"Eat it, or you'll have to pay for it."
Nashida put the grilled fish on the dining table, then put her hands on her waist and asked Liu Bai.
"Okay, girl, don't worry, I like the food you cook!"
Liu Bai patted his chest to make a promise, then sat down at the dining table, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Nashida's expression eased a little, and she turned to the kitchen and brought back a bowl of rice.
"Stupid, grilled fish alone is too salty, you must eat it with rice."
Nashida said as she handed the rice to Liu Bai.
Living with Liu Bai, she would always give priority to Liu Bai's needs when cooking at home, so she has also become accustomed to Liyue's eating habits.
Liu Bai took the rice and started eating happily.
Although he was full after eating grilled fish at noon, the flavor of the grilled fish made by Nashida was very different from that of Klee, which was equivalent to the difference between Liyue cuisine and Mondstadt cuisine, so Liu Bai did not feel sick of it.
……
Some time passed, and it was that night.
In order to take care of Jean who fell ill due to overwork, the Knights decided to hold a comfort party for Jean at the Angel's Gift.
When Liu Bai was busy writing novels on daily commissions, Nashida, who often stayed in the Knights' Library, also helped out with some advice. This allowed Liu Bai, who knew nothing, to go to the consolation party with Nashida.
But he didn't care. Having a banquet... having a big meal doesn't require much thought.
However, since it was a night party, the good girl Kelly, who was asked to go to bed early and get up early, did not come to participate. Liu Bai looked at the people present and finally went to Wendy, who also came to eat and drink.
"Burp... You're here too, come and try it, the angel's gift, the most delicious drink!"
Wendy burped and greeted Liu Bai, then pushed a glass of wine in front of Liu Bai.
"Drink? Is this really a drink?"
Liu Bai just came to eat, but had no intention of drinking. He looked at the wine glass in front of him with some doubt.
"Of course, liquids processed from water for human consumption are naturally called beverages, whether it's tea or wine."
Wendy answered affirmatively and then raised her glass towards Liu Bai.
"Come on, do one~"
"All right……"
Liu Bai scratched his head, and finally picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Wendy.
Nashida didn't pay attention for a while. When she finished chatting with Qin, Lisa and others, she found that Liu Bai was already drunk and was discussing land reclamation with Wendy.
The more they discussed, the more exaggerated they became. They first planned to take over Liyue, then use the power of Mondstadt and Liyue to move the sand from the Xumi Desert to Eagle Soaring Beach, and then reclaim land from the sea...
But no one around cared what the two drunkards were discussing.
"How rude! How can one of the only three men get so drunk in a place where most of the people are girls..."
Nashida listened to Liu Bai's conversation with her ears perked up, and shook her head helplessly for a moment.
She likes to try to improve Liu Bai's interpersonal relationships with others, which is why she brings Liu Bai to the comfort party.
"..."
After hearing what Nashida said, Diluk and Kaeya couldn't help but ponder. Which of the four of them was not included in the only three men?
Kaeya looked at Diluk first, and then he looked back at him expressionlessly.
"Then we will fill the land from the sea to Inazuma..."
"Then we will form a coalition of three nations, Mondstadt, Liyue and Xumi, and defeat Inazuma..."
Liu Bai held Wendy's shoulders with one hand and made arrangements drunkenly with a glass of wine in the other.
"Hey, okay, okay, you can make me a general when the time comes."
"But is there any plan to create such a large landmass?"
Wendy nodded happily, as if she was discussing this with Liu Bai very seriously.
"Well... of course it's for farming! There's not enough food!"
"Hmm...but the sea water is salty...it seems that ordinary crops can't grow there?"
As Liu Bai was speaking, he also seemed to feel that something was not quite right.
Drunk, he turned around and glanced at Nashida who was looking at him from the other side.
"Got it. I'll tell you a secret... Actually, my little girl is a wooden person. Planting her... can improve the environment and produce many little girls. Then I can... hug and eat one a day..."
"..."
Hearing this, Nashida finally couldn't help but walked over with her fists clenched.
"Hey~"
Seeing this, Wendy quickly moved her butt and sat aside.
"Nashida, you are the Goddess of Wisdom. You represent wisdom and civilization. You cannot be violent..."
Nashida told herself this in her heart, and then, while Qin and the others were not paying attention, she reached out one hand to cover Liu Bai's mouth, and with the other hand she pinched the soft flesh on his waist and twisted it hard.
"Ugh——!"
Liu Bai opened his eyes wide and made unclear sounds, but because Nashida covered her eyes tightly, the sound was very faint.
"Oh, don't spit it out. It's not good to spit in someone else's store. I told you not to drink, but I can't just ignore you for a while."
Then Nashida covered Liu Bai's mouth and said helplessly, releasing her hand from the soft flesh on his waist and gently patting his back.
"It seems that Liu Bai is really drunk. How about asking the traveler to help you send him back?"
Ying and Paimeng noticed the commotion here and came over. Seeing Liu Bai with a grim expression and his mouth covered, as if he was about to vomit, they couldn't help but make a suggestion.
Ying nodded slightly in agreement with Paimon's suggestion.
Although he knew Nashida's identity, seeing her appearance, he couldn't help but feel that it would be troublesome to let her take the drunk Liu Bai back alone.
"No, no, I'll take him back later."
Nashida waved her hand to reject their kindness.
After Liu Bai recovered from the initial feeling of having his flesh twisted, he subconsciously began to lick Nashida's palm, which made her feel embarrassed to take her hand back in front of Ying and the others, otherwise Liu Bai's sticking out and moving tongue would be seen.
