Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Everyone initially thought the next video would pick up where the previous sleepless night left off and tell the story of the Trail Blazers in Pinocchio, but that wasn't the case.

The video's title clearly reads "Birthday of the Flower Goddess".

[Paimon (Genshin Impact): Huh? This is actually our story? I thought it would continue from Sora's story.]

[Kiana (Hyperion): You mean this is a story from your side?]

[Paimon (Genshin Impact): That's right! This is a story we experienced back in the Grass Country! Speaking of which, Kiana from the other world probably doesn't know about the situation in Teyvat here, right? Do you need me to explain?]

[Kiana (Hyperion): Okay, okay!]

While Kiana did know some aspects of Teyvat, her knowledge was limited to the main storylines of Mondstadt and Liyue. She only knew fragments of information about Inazuma, revealed by Zhongli, and was even less familiar with the later events of the Grass Country's Sumeru. Therefore, Paimon's explanation was a timely boon for Kiana. Through Paimon's explanation, Kiana gained a general understanding of Sumeru, and her interest in the story surrounding the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival immediately piqued.

Meanwhile, on the screen, Ying, the traveler, and Paimon, the guide, appear inside the theater known as the Grand Bazaar, as if searching for someone. It's less of a theater and more of a commercial street with a theater stage.

[Kiana (Honkai Impact 3): I know it might be impolite to say this, but surely there aren't that many stalls in the so-called theater?]

[Frinna (Genshin Impact): Exactly! A true theater should be as magnificent and solemn as the Opikley Opera House in Fontainebleau, not as overly commercial as this Grand Bazaar. Forgive my bluntness, but places like theaters, which embody art, shouldn't be transformed into such commercialized spaces!]

[Paimon (Genshin Impact): Actually, that's not how it is! The Grand Bazaar became like this because...]

Paimon stopped sending messages here because she didn't know if sending more would be inconsiderate of Nel and the other members of the troupe.

[Nel (Genshin Impact): Thank you, Paimon. I'll explain the rest. As the Water God said, the theater shouldn't have so many commercial elements. But because Sumeru reveres knowledge and scorns art, fewer and fewer people come to watch the theater performances. Gradually, the revenue from the theater performances alone can no longer support the theater's expenses. Even many theater troupes have been forced to disband, leaving only my troupe struggling to survive. In order to keep the theater running, we have no choice but to increase revenue by renting out more booths.]

[Frinna (Genshin Impact): Those people just don't understand art! Now I know, I can personally sponsor you, all you have to do is teach those guys who don't appreciate art a lesson, okay?]

[Nel (Genshin Impact): Thank you for the Water God's generosity, but everything is alright now. Ultimately, the root cause of all this was the former Great Sage's suppression of art. Now, thanks to Luminous's help, the imprisoned Grass God has been freed, and he has resumed his artistic creations. The Grand Bazaar is much better now. Moreover, these vendors are all like family to us. Regardless of their initial motives, everyone is now wholeheartedly working towards the reconstruction of the Grand Bazaar.]

[Fryna (Genshin Impact): Just call me Fryna. But imprisoning a god? Your leaders are so audacious! If this happened in Fontainebleau, they'd probably be imprisoned and awaiting trial the very next day!]

[Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun (Genshin Impact): How dare they imprison a god! Mortals are indeed just mortals, ignorant and arrogant. If this happened in Liyue, not to mention the Emperor, we immortals would have already come knocking on their door to demand an explanation the very next day. If they still refuse, I wouldn't mind spending some time suppressing these disrespectful people!]

[Xiao (Genshin Impact): Disrespectful to the Immortal Master!]

[Venti (Genshin Impact): Hey everyone! Don't be so impulsive! Didn't Miss Nel just say that our Luminosity has already rescued the Grass God, and isn't it pretty obvious who the ex is?]

Wendy's reminder made everyone realize that the matter was already over, and the instigator had been caught. Moreover, Wendy, being a god herself, was already planning to let the matter rest, so everyone simply let it go and stopped talking about it. At this moment, Narcida, the goddess of grass, also spoke up.

[Narcissus (Genshin Impact): Thank you all for your concern and for speaking out. Just as Venti said, the instigator of everything, the former Great Sage Azhar, has been captured. I have exiled him to the Rainforest and stripped him of all qualifications and abilities to learn. Now I have regained control of Sumeru, and everything is over.]

[Zhongli (Genshin Impact): Although I understand that for scholars of Sumeru, the weight of knowledge is greater than anything else, isn't this punishment a bit too lenient?]

[Seno (Genshin Impact): This punishment is the most severe among the laws of Sumeru. On the surface, it simply deprives a person of the qualification and ability to learn, but in reality, it also means that person will no longer have any qualification to receive knowledge, and the knowledge they have learned will disappear over time, eventually turning that person into a stupid person who cannot even speak.]

[Dr. Truth (Starry Sky Railway): In other words, that person's brain will become completely empty, leaving only the most basic self-awareness, right?]

[Narcida (Genshin Impact): Yes, but I usually wouldn't actually let someone go that far. If that person truly repents, I'll withdraw the latter part of the punishment and simply exile them until the exile period ends.]

[Dr. Truth (Starry Sky Railway): But how do you know he's truly repentant?]

[Narcida (Genshin Impact): My ability will tell me whether I have truly repented. As for what that ability is, I cannot explain it too clearly because it involves the origins of Teyvat.]

Paimon and Luminous naturally understood Narcida's meaning. As the manager of the World Tree in Teyvat, Narcida possessed the authority to manipulate the World Tree, making it incredibly easy for her to observe a person's thoughts. Moreover, she didn't even need to use the World Tree's power; Narcida could accomplish the same thing solely through her own ability to manipulate dreams.

At this moment, Paimon and Ying in the video finally found the person they were looking for, and Paimon shouted as he flew towards that person.

"It's here! Dinazede, we're back!"

The woman who responded to Paimon was a woman who looked very sickly. She turned around and greeted Paimon warmly.

"Ying and Xiao Paimeng! You really kept your promise. It's so great that you were able to come back to celebrate the Little Lucky Grass King's birthday together."

[Star (Hyperion): Coming back?]

[Paimon (Genshin Impact): Well, since it was still early before the Flora Festival, we started investigating how to meet Narcida. Later, we learned that the Order of the Church had lost something that might be related to the gods, so we went to Ormus Port to investigate. That's how we met Elheisen, who was the scribe, but in the end, we didn't find anything out.]

[Furina (Genshin Impact): Speaking of which, I've always been curious about something. Your Sumeru gods haven't changed, have they? I remember the Grass God's former title was Great Tree King, so how come it's now Lesser Lucky Grass King?]

The people of Sumeru fell silent. In the end, the change of title was not a friendly experience for Nasita herself.

[Elheisen (Genshin Impact): Ultimately, it was those so-called great sages who, upon seeing the Grass God who had lost all memories and divine power, believed that it was no longer the omniscient and omnipotent being it once was. Therefore, to distinguish it, they gave it its current title, and over time, "Little Lucky Grass King" became its current name.]

It wasn't hard to see the sarcasm in Elhesen's words. Moreover, the people of Teyvat expressed their dissatisfaction with the attitude of those Great Sages towards the Grass God, and for a time the group chat screen was filled with insults directed at the former, and even several, Great Sages.

[Narcida (Genshin Impact): Okay, stop arguing. I'm very grateful that everyone cares about me so much. I will work even harder to become an excellent god in the future. For now, please continue watching the video.]

In the video, Ying also responded that it was a very important holiday and she didn't want to miss it, and Paimon agreed.

Dina Zede nodded happily, "Hehe, that's right. Tomorrow is the festival, and after preparing for so long, I can't help but feel a little nervous."

Paimon comforted him, "Don't be nervous~ Little Lucky Grass King will definitely feel everyone's good wishes!"

"Yes, thank you, Paimon. I hope everyone who came to the Flora Festival has a great time. Oh, by the way, did you go to Ormus Port? Did you find anything there?"

"Of course we went, and we encountered a lot of things..."

Paimon spread his hands, revealing a somewhat complicated expression, while Ying added from the side.

"Unfortunately, there are few clues about the Little Lucky Grass King; in fact, the mysteries have only increased..."

"Oh, I see. It sounds like you've got another enviable adventure going on... If I had the chance again, I'd love to too..."

At that moment, a voice interrupted Dina Zede's words.
