Chapter 732 Little Diona
After enjoying the sumptuous meal hosted by Diluk, the tour group bid farewell to the hospitable Dawn Winery and headed to the next attraction.
"That's...Sugar!" Su and Paimon waved and greeted the green-haired girl they hadn't seen for a long time, "Long time no see, Sugar, what are you doing?"
There was a cute little girl standing next to Shatang, and the two groups introduced themselves to each other after meeting.
Su hugged Xianyun's arm and said, "This is my Aunt Xianyun. We came to Mondstadt to play together."
"Aunt, she's Sucrose. She's not only a member of the Mondstadt Knights, but she's also a very talented alchemist!"
Sucrose blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no! I'm far from being a genius. That's Mr. Albedo... Ah, hello Miss Xianyun, I'm Sucrose, and this is Diona. We're discussing hunting and setting traps."
With pink hair and bangs tied into a bun, Diona looks cute enough. What's even cuter is that she has furry cat ears and a tail, like a sweet and arrogant calico cat.
Diona raised her nose and sniffed. The smell of these people was obviously very pleasant, but... "There is also a strong smell of alcohol on them. Guys drinking in broad daylight... Humph!"
Huh? He actually snorted at her Aunt Xianyun?
Su crossed his arms and put on a more arrogant expression, "What's wrong with drinking? Even though the wine tastes bad, what's wrong with drinking!"
Sandu quickly apologized, "This... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Diona is... Alas!"
She is not very good at communicating with others. How can she explain this situation?
Kong half-knelt down and looked the kid straight in the eye, patiently explaining and guiding him, "We smell of alcohol because we just came from the Dawn Winery. We did try some wine because we wanted to buy some good Mondstadt stuff for our friends."
"We have already told Diona about our situation. Can you also tell me why Diona hates people who drink?"
Diona looked at the big brother whose hair and eyes were like sunlight, lowered her head and pinched her fingers, "Because if Dad doesn't drink, then... he will accompany me, humph! Hateful alcohol! Hateful drunkards who drink!"
"So you're the guy who hates alcoholism. Alcoholics are really..." Paimon was halfway through his words when he thought of Wendy, "Well, anyway, we're not alcoholics! Xianyun only drinks a few glasses even if he drinks."
Xianyun had a serious and worried expression. He squatted down and looked at Diona's condition carefully. "Child, did your father... did he use violence after drinking? Throwing things on the ground counts."
"Eh? Ah! No, no, no!" Diona waved her hands and shook her head. "My dad gets drunk and people worry about him, but he won't smash things or hit people!"
Seeing the beautiful aunt's relieved look, Diona hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Thank you for worrying about me, I was just in a bad attitude, I'm sorry."
Su deliberately tilted his head and put his hands to his ears to collect the sound, pretending to be hard of hearing, "Huh? What? Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly."
Diona's face flushed red, and she clenched her fist and repeated loudly, "Thank you, Auntie. I was wrong just now. I'm sorry!"
Paimon tried to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, Diona isn't a bad kid."
Diona took out an apology gift, grilled fish skewers made from different types of fish. "I seasoned them carefully. Everyone says they taste good. They are definitely not meant to be eaten with alcohol!"
"Isn't this Mond grilled fish without any vegetables? It's all fish meat." Su looked at Diona's ears and tail shaking uncomfortably, "She is indeed a kitten."
Diona thought the other party was not satisfied with her apology, so she gritted her teeth and lowered her head, "My head... cat ears, you can touch them too."
Sugar covered her mouth in surprise. Diona is a little girl with a bad temper. Besides drunkards, what she hates most is being teased like a kitten! Taking the initiative to propose this way to repair the relationship, it seems that Diona actually likes the brothers, sisters and aunts in the travel team.
What! Is there anyone who wants to win favor like this?!
Su's cat ears and cat tail all popped out, and his hands turned into large cat claws as he tightly hugged Xianyun's arm, staring at the stunned Diona.
Su: "Aunt Xianyun, if you want to touch the cat's ears, you can touch mine! The tail and paws are also OK!"
Paimon:...
null:……
What kind of scene is this of big cats and little cats competing for favor?
Paimeng was speechless. He felt that Su's methods of winning favor had regressed a lot. Did he forget all the knowledge he learned in the Son of God training class?
Kong looked at Xianyun and found that she was enjoying the feeling of being fought over by two cats and looked very happy.
When everyone thought the situation was at a stalemate, Diona circled around Su with shining eyes.
"How did you do this?! Sister, please teach me the secret to make the ears look normal and hide the tail!"
Diona's cat-like traits are a symbol of her Katzlein bloodline. She is proud of her cat's acumen and dexterity, but is also annoyed by the fact that she is harassed by drunks who think her cat ears and tail are just for show.
It would be great if cat ears and tails could be retracted and opened freely like this sister’s!
This time it was Su who was stunned. "Teaching?"
"Ah, do you need tuition?" Diona opened the cute cat paw purse, "I can do it! I have a lot of Moras!"
As the most popular bartender at Cat's Tail Tavern, she has a considerable salary and savings!
But the problem is that Su can transform human ears into cat ears, not cat ears into human ears.
"I see..." After the Traveler Team explained, Diona's head and tail drooped in disappointment.
A small paper bag suddenly appeared in front of Diona. The super fresh and fragrant smell immediately aroused her appetite. "What a nice smell!"
Su: "Your barbecued skewers are delicious. This is our return gift."
Diona, who was eating a dried fish with a beaming face, protested loudly, "That's not a snack to go with wine!"
Xianyun held a cat in his left hand and another cat in his right hand, and laughed with satisfaction, "Okay, okay, you are all good children."
After talking it out, the two sides' goodwill towards each other improved, and they came together to discuss what kind of bait to put in Diona's trap.
Diona prepared all kinds of bait herself, including grilled ribs, which were considered normal, and even a staff of a Hilliculus Shaman.
Sugar took out the product of his own bio-alchemy, the carotene-rich Luoluo berry.
Paimon's eyes were fixed on the novel raspberries, "That..."
Sugar readily gave some more to the tour group to try.
The common Luoluo berries are pink and taste slightly sour and sweet. However, the Luoluo berries cultivated by Sugar using bio-alchemy technology are orange and larger in size. When you eat them...
Sora: "If you close your eyes and don't look at it, you'll think you're eating carrot cubes."
Su: "After I put Luo Luo Berry into my mouth, I opened my cape and revealed my true identity: I am actually a carrot! I feel like I was cheated by the fruit."
Paimon: "It's not that it doesn't taste good, it's just that, if you want to eat carrots, just buy carrots. I really don't understand the meaning of this carrot-flavored Luoluoberry."
“Well,” Xianyun disagreed. “When many technologies and results first come out, outsiders may think they are “a bit stupid”, “not necessary”, and “don’t know what the point is”. But as time goes by and technology continues to develop, they will always come in handy. Experimentation is an essential step in the research process.”
Sandu said, as if she had met a close friend. "You are absolutely right!"
This charming older sister must also be a researcher!
