Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

Before he could finish introducing Liyue Zhonggui, he led his people back to the floating island.

Upon arriving on the island, Zhong Gui pulled out a ball of light, which was dreamlike and filled with a strange aura.

He tossed the orb of light to Yukari Yakumo, saying, "Here you go, this is Gensokyo."

The dark energy engulfed Gensokyo, and then Zhonggui purified it, leaving only pure consciousness and energy.

"One day it will transform into a youkai, but in Liyue it will become a sage. When that happens, you can let its true form transform back into Gensokyo, which will float south of the floating island. You can move it back there then."

"When you have time, you can go to Lord Liuyun to change your origin and transform yourself from a youkai in Gensokyo into a celestial being in Liyue."

In closing, Zhong Gui smiled and said, "Speaking of which, according to the customs of Gensokyo, let me say one last thing—Welcome to Liyue!"

Chapter 224 Ying: Borrowing alcohol... and sharing a bed!

Mond, yesterday afternoon.

"A bottle of apple cider, please!" Ying said, clapping her hands together to the red-haired bartender.

"Ying, isn't this a bit inappropriate? We're not adults yet..." Xiangling said nervously, pulling Ying along.

Amber said from the side, "Don't worry, Xiangling, this is Mondstadt, and you can drink alcohol now."

"But……"

"No buts, it's my treat!" Ying waved her hand. "Bring the drinks!"

She's taken on a few jobs at the Adventurers' Guild these past two days, which is enough to support herself.

And she's a minor? She's already 18!

Today she's going to host a banquet for her sisters as a way of thanking them for taking care of her these past two days.

The red-haired bartender glanced at them and served them three drinks.

The "liquor" was clear and transparent, with bubbles rising to the surface from time to time. The three of them felt a cool sensation when they touched it.

Xiangling: "Wow, this looks pretty good."

　Mondstadt has a pleasant, spring-like climate year-round, unlike Liyue which is still a bit chilly after the Lantern Festival.

The icy coolness of the "drinks" doesn't make people feel cold; it only makes them more hungry, especially since Xiangling is a fire-attribute Genshin Impact.

But why does this "drink" look so familiar?

Xiangling carefully tasted it, then took a big gulp.

"Ha~ Isn't this just soda?"

She's drunk quite a bit of this stuff.

Ying: "Happy water?"

Ying also took a sip. The taste was somewhat familiar, as if she had drunk it before, but she couldn't remember it clearly because she had lost a lot of her memory.

“Lord Diluc, we’re here to drink, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to give us just soft drinks?” Amber pouted and said from the side.

"Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol," Diluc said without any mercy.

"I'm an adult now!" Ying said, peeking out.

"How old are you?"

"I……"

Ying opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything. How old? Five hundred? Fifty thousand?

"Eighteen years old!"

"Not like."

“That one doesn’t look like it at all!” Ying said, pointing to Wendy lying on a table.

"He is short."

Wendy seemed to hear something, opened her eyes, looked around in confusion, and finding nothing wrong, shifted her position and went back to sleep.

"Hehehe, Tvalin, drink..."

Diluc shook his head, as if to say: See, this is what happens when you drink alcohol; you become an idiot.

Ying pouted in anger; she couldn't admit that she was old or short.

But she just wanted to drink with her best friends!

With a quick dart in her eyes, Ying grabbed Xiangling and Amber and turned to leave, saying, "Damn it! Let's go!"

She refused to believe it; if she couldn't drink it here, couldn't she drink it somewhere else?

At the Cat's Tail Tavern, three women spent the afternoon playing with the big cat and the little cat...

Because the big cat hates people drinking, Ying didn't open her mouth to talk about drinking.

Paimon: "I don't even dare to say it!"

And so, the group returned wearily to Amber's little nest.

"Wow~" Paimon plopped down on the bed. "I'm exhausted."

Amber: "Does Paimon get tired flying in the sky? Does he have a body that we can't see?"

After saying that, Amber patted Paimon.

Paimon laughed heartily as he was touched.

For a moment, the group started making a ruckus, and the small house was filled with laughter and glimpses of spring.

Guoba: "Lu?"

Outside the door, a girl in ice-blue listened to the commotion inside with some confusion.

Who's at Amber's house?

The girl squinted, feeling a deep sadness. The inside was so joyful; this door seemed to have separated them into two different worlds…

hula~

"Lou!"

The door is gone.

Four girls, a Paimon, and a Guoba sat around the table.

The new girl is named Yola, and she is the captain of the Knights of Favonius guerrilla squad. She's not in Mondstadt for the past couple of days.

She rushed over to see her best friend as soon as she got back today, but when she heard the noises inside, she thought she had lost something... She thought Amber had a guest, so she was about to leave, but it turned out there really was a guest... cough cough...

"You've been running around like this all day?"

Amber: "That's right, we didn't get to drink any alcohol."

In Mondstadt, everyone drinks alcohol, except for children.

Amber isn't a child anymore, so of course she's drunk before. But she was unlucky enough to run into Diluc today, and she didn't want to drink in front of Diona, so she didn't get to drink today.

"Diluc is right, drinking too much alcohol is bad."

Then the three of them looked at the wine that Yura had brought over.

Eula: “…”

"Ahem, why do I suddenly feel like going for a drink?"

Ying: "I just feel like it would be a waste of my trip to Mondstadt if I didn't have a drink. I've been so grateful for Amber and Xiangling's hospitality these past few days, so I'd like to treat everyone to a good meal and drinks."

Xiangling: "Farewell... cough cough, sorry, I'm used to it."

It's all walnut's fault.

"You guys are really unlucky. Diluc hardly ever accepts gifts from angels."

Yura didn't know that Diluc was actually lying in wait.

Squatting Xiangling and Ying.

Xiangling goes without saying; Zhong Gui left her in Mondstadt, so he'd better keep a close eye on her, at least to prevent her from drinking at his Angel's Gift...

Diluc suspects that Ying, who suddenly appeared and for whom there is no information, is the person Zhong Gui mentioned who was supposed to save Mondstadt.

Without the Eye of God, yet able to use elemental power... Diluc's first thought was of a god.

She could be called a god, but she was far too weak.

Diluc learned about her; she was a traveler from beyond the world who had stayed in Teyvat for unknown reasons.

Since neither Zhong Gui nor Wendy made any moves, and even seemed to welcome each other, Diluc didn't do anything else, just observing them from time to time.

Yura took out the apple wine she had brought. "Come on, let's drink together!"

One of these two people came from outside Mondstadt, and the other from outside Teyvat. They didn't react much when they heard her name. Yura thought they were people worth befriending.

Should I make more foreign friends? They don't care about Lawrence...

However, when Yura thought about how if she actually did it, the news might spread the next day that Lawrence's daughter had colluded with foreign powers and was going to sell Mondstadt to the Geo Archon (or someone else) just like a thousand years ago.

Thinking of this, Yura felt a little down and downed a whole mug of tea. The spicy taste suppressed the sadness in her heart.
