The daily life of a sickly girl in Liyue Port

In Mondstadt, Diona looked at the crowded tavern in front of her. She was bartending numbly, her eyes were red. She must have just finished watching "Duango Family Season 2".

She was already in a sad mood. After seeing the tavern business booming again, she now felt that she was about to leave this beautiful world.

Now she only felt that the tavern was noisy. After telling her father that she wanted to go out for some fresh air, she walked out in despair. She came outside to get some fresh air, found a random place and sat down, holding her chin in a daze.

"Ah, Diona, why are you so listless?"

Paimon's voice rang above Diona's head. When Diona heard the familiar voice, she raised her eyes and saw a group of four people in front of her, including Traveler, Paimon, Albedo and Sugar.

"Paimon and the Traveler..."

She walked to Diona's side, looked at Diona who was in a depressed mood and asked worriedly: "What's wrong?"

Diona, who originally wanted to be pure, was now surrounded. Seeing Ying and Paimon's worried expressions, she felt aggrieved.

"Since everyone read Qianxue's book, more and more people have come to drink. How can this destroy the Mondstadt wine industry..."

Diona's voice was weak and listless compared to her previous voice. After hearing Diona's words, several people present looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Is Diona sad because of this?"

"That's not true, it's just... Qianxue's new book, have you read it?" At this point, Diona suddenly asked.

The four of them were confused. They had been dealing with matters in the snowy mountains these past few days. They didn't know that Qianxue had released a new book. They had just found out about it now. In response to Diona's question, they all shook their heads and said they had not read it.

"I haven't read it... Of course I'm sad because of this incident. I'm fine. You guys should go and read it. This time Qianxue's new book is the sequel to "The Dango Family"."

As soon as the words fell, Diona ran away without giving the four people a chance to speak.

"Uh... Diona has become so weird. Can sugar cure Diona?" Paimon complained.

"Ah? I, I am an alchemist, not a priest..."

Sugar was startled by Paimon's sudden inquiry. All she had been thinking about was Qianxue's new book. After finishing studying biological alchemy, she often chose Qianxue's novels to relax.

After all, Qianxue's writing style makes people feel comfortable, but the content contains too much sadness.

Sugar belongs to the Knights of the West Wind and is Albedo's assistant. His research direction is "biological alchemy".

She hopes to use alchemy to transform existing life forms and make the world more colorful, although some overly bizarre products may occasionally appear during the transformation process.

But overall, sugar does a great job of "bio-alchemy."

Sugar has long light green hair, tied into a long braid hanging down her back. There is a bunch of bluish highlights on the right side of her bangs, and her amber eyes are hidden behind brown half-rimmed glasses.

The drooping animal ears match the color of her hair, but fade into dark green at the ends. Sugar's ears are inherited from her family and are very different from others, so she usually hides them with her hair as much as possible.

She wears a blue-black tunic skirt with gold shoulder straps, white sleeves separated from the skirt, and connected by a black velvet collar, with her God's Eye on the collar.

A white cloak bifurcated in the middle is connected to the velvet collar, and the lower body is worn with semi-transparent black garters and white short boots with blue-black insides.

"Hey."

Paimon got away with a smile, but Ying and Albedo couldn't help but start to think. Diona's reaction was really strange, as if she was covering something up.

Thinking of the bad nature of Qianxue's fans, she suddenly felt that she had discovered the truth, and there was a high probability that there was a knife. Diona's hesitation probably did not want them to be mentally prepared.

Ying looked at the giggling Paimeng and the shy Sugar, then looked at Albedo with a thoughtful look on his face, and swallowed what he wanted to say. It was quite fun, wasn't it?

"I didn't expect that Qian Youdie would publish another novel. It seems that we went down the mountain at the right time."

"Hey! Abedo, do you also read Qianxue's novels?" Paimon asked in surprise.

"Well, Liyue Publishing House also invited me to draw illustrations for Qian Youdie's novel, but unfortunately I haven't had time."

Albedo is the chief alchemist of the Knights of Mondstadt Zephyr and captain of the investigation team. He is a genius known as the "Son of Chalk". He doesn't care much about titles and reputations and only focuses on research topics.

Wealth and connections are not his goals. What he desires to control is the supreme knowledge that has been hidden deep in the human mind from ancient times to the present.

Abedo is brown and parted in the middle, with his hair tied in a twist across the middle of his head. His eyes are blue-green, and he has a star as a blemish on his neck.

Wearing a hooded coat that is mainly white with black and yellow accessories, there is a diagonal crossbar at the front to connect the two sides of the coat, and an iron chain at the back to connect the two ends of the coat.

Wearing long gloves, lined with a dark blue turtleneck, with dark embellishments, the Eye of the Rock God hangs around his neck. Wearing shorts and over-the-knee boots.

Abedo's painting level is quite high, otherwise Liyue Publishing House would not invite him to be the illustrator of Qianxue's novel.

It's a pity that Albedo has been busy with alchemy research recently. He was in the snowy mountains before, but now he is really free.

"Is there still such a thing? Will Abedoo come with us when we return to Liyue?" Paimon couldn't help but ask after hearing the news.

"Well...if I could talk to the author in person, I should be able to draw the characters more closely to the original work."

After all, you must understand the character you created better than others, and the image of the character must be clear in your mind.

"so…"

"If I have time, I will go to Liyue. The research on Sugar and Timaeus may still need my guidance at this stage."

"Hehe, there's no rush. Qianxue is still in Fontaine. Counting the time, she won't be back for another half a month. It will take a lot of time on the way."

"Fontaine?"

"Hmm, although Paimon also wants to go, our next country is Sumeru."

While talking, the four of them walked towards the Deer Hunter Restaurant. After finally getting out of the snowy mountains, they wanted to have a good meal in Mondstadt.

When Sartang heard that Abedo might go to Liyue later, she had expectations in her eyes, and she also wanted to visit Liyue.

Arriving at the Deer Hunter Restaurant, Paimon was surprised to see that the Deer Hunter Restaurant was already full of people. Business was good today, and it was obviously past dinner time.

"Is business so good today?"

"Maybe it's because Diona was talking about Qianxue's new book just now. Look, at least half of them ordered wine."

After hearing Ying's words, he cast his eyes on everyone's tables. Sure enough, there was wine on most of the tables.

"Ah, this is the first time I've seen so much wine here at Deer Hunter, and...it's not night either..." Sugar said in a daze.

"Deer hunters are like this, so there probably won't be any places elsewhere, right?" Paimon said helplessly. She still wanted to have a good meal, so could she just take it away with her or let the traveler cook it?
