"Wow, is this a gift from an angel?"

"I heard it's really expensive inside, hmph, but since someone's treating us today, we can eat our fill!"

Paimon was very happy, kicking his little arms and legs and talking excitedly.

"This bard is shady; be careful not to get fooled by him!"

Yingmei shook her head and looked at Paimon: "So, eat less while you're eating, and it's best to digest that sweet flower-stuffed chicken in your brain first~"

"How rude! I only ate five sweet flower-stuffed chickens when I went out, I'm starving!"

Paimon crossed his arms and protested with great dissatisfaction.

But soon, she gestured thoughtfully to her chin, saying, "Ying is right too. This bard seems unreliable. We had that feeling when we talked to him before."

"And...and he seems to know Wind Demon Dragon very well. Do you think...do you think he might be trying to get us drunk and then steal all our Sweet Flower Chicken?"

"Ah! I've got it! Someone in the group said he still owes Lord Diluc a sum of money. What if he steals our Mora too? Wouldn't we be at a huge loss?"

Thinking about these serious issues, Paimon immediately lost his joy.

That's really scary.

They actually tried to scheme against Paimon's Sweet Flower Chicken and Mora!

For Paimon, whom even Mora wouldn't let go, this is even more terrifying than putting her in a pot as an ingredient!

How many Mora do we have now?

"Hmm... let me see... Ah~ we're so rich, we have three Mora!"

Paimon blinked and said very seriously.

"Three Mora?"

Yingmei was stunned.

She looked at Paimon in shock, only to find him with a serious expression, nodding and saying, "Yeah, we actually have three Moras! That's amazing! Ying, you're so incredible!"

"As long as we keep working hard, we'll have a fourth Mora soon!"

"...Let's go."

Yingmei nodded, and as she pushed open the door to Angel's Gift, she said, "Eat without worry. I think getting a Mora from you might be a little harder than defeating Stormterror."

Upon entering the bar, Yingmei saw Diluc.

"Hi, Lord Diluc, how are you?"

Paimon and Yingmei were both very curious about Angel's Gift, and couldn't help but look around at the tavern's furnishings and the drunkards drinking there.

"Hello, he's waiting for you on the second floor."

Diluc nodded slightly, offering only a brief greeting.

Compared to before, Diluc is much better now; at least he can still chat in the group.

Yingmei nodded and led Paimon upstairs to the second floor.

The second floor was quiet, not as crowded as the first floor, and naturally not as noisy. Only Wendy was sitting in a corner.

"Hey, we meet again~"

Yingmei sensed Wendy's presence as soon as she entered and chuckled, "Hehe, this is a famous apple cider wine, a gift from the angels, have a taste~"

"Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol. That's a rule of Lord Diluc's Knights of Favonius. If you want to drink, I'll bring some next time."

Each of them had a glass of apple cider, and Yingmei and Paimon sat opposite Wendy.

"Wow, this tastes really good!"

Paimon took a big sip and immediately beamed with delight: "How much is this cup of apple wine?"

"Hey, drink up! It's on me today!"

Wendy smiled slightly and said in a very generous manner.

Anyway, Diluc said the meal would be free tonight, which made Wendy very happy. Why not drink it if it's free? It would be a waste if she didn't drink enough.

"really?"

Paimon couldn't hide his thoughts and crossed his arms: "Little green man, are you trying to drink us under the table and then steal our Mora and Sweet Flower Chicken?"

Beside her, Yingmei covered her forehead, speechless.

Even if you ask, will they tell you?

"Hey, guess!"

Sure enough, Wendy chuckled.

"Actually, when I saw you all, I thought you were amazing, so I invited you here today because there's something important I want to discuss with you."

After putting away her playful expression, Wendy spoke with a slightly serious look.

This is a very serious matter.

Paimon looked suspicious: "Serious matters are discussed in a tavern?"

"Shouldn't we choose a secluded spot, then secretly turn off all the lights, and talk in complete darkness where no one can see us?"

That's a good idea.

Wendy couldn't help but smile: "I could do it, but would you dare?"

"Hmm... never mind, it sounds terrifying."

Paimon imagined what he would say and shook his head: "So, what's so important?"

Yingmei sipped her apple wine while glancing at Wendy, waiting for him to continue.

Like Diluc, Yingmei also has a guess about Wendy's identity, and it's a guess that's almost certain.

"Is that so? Could you please go to the Church of the West Wind?"

Wendy smiled slightly, picked up her glass, and took a sip of the slightly bitter dandelion wine.

This is unique to Mondstadt and is a product of the Dawn Winery. It is the number one wine in Mondstadt.

What are you going there for?

Paimon continued to ask.

"Once upon a time, the wind god Barbatos used a harp called the Sky Harp."

Venti explained in detail: "If we could obtain the Skyward Harp, and with me, the three-time consecutive 'Most Popular Bard' of Mondstadt,' playing it myself, perhaps we could solve the Stormterror's problem~"

Upon hearing this, Yingmei's eyes flashed.

If you still can't guess that the unconventional bard opposite you is Barbatos, the god of wind, then your brain is truly useless.

"Really?"

Paimon looked on in astonishment, as if his brain had been fed to a pig, and asked, "That's not right, why don't you go to the Church of the West Wind and borrow it yourself?"

"It's not that easy~"

Wendy gave a wry smile: "For the people of the Church of the Winds, that's a priceless treasure left behind by the Wind God, kept in the deepest, most hidden place within the church. How could an ordinary person possibly take it out?"

The Sky Harp is indeed difficult to obtain.

"So, you're telling us to steal it?"

Paimon's eyes widened, his little face full of anger: "Damn it, why do we have to do the bad things? Paimon will never agree to this, hmph!"

Paimon looked adorable when he was angry. Wendy chuckled and looked at Infernal next to Paimon.

What does "traveler" mean?

"Ask Paimon, I've been mute ever since Paimon came into my life."

Yingmei leisurely sipped her apple wine, speaking with a natural expression.

Chapter 17 New Mission: Explore the Monsters Near the Temple

"Okay, then I'll talk to this little guy."

Wendy shrugged, gave a helpless wry smile, and looked away at Paimon.

Has this little mascot already become a spokesperson for travelers?

Paimon, upon hearing Yingmei's words, not only failed to perceive the underlying criticism, but instead crossed his arms with a hint of smugness.

"Hmph, I'm in charge of all these things. You think you can fool us? No way!"

Paimon, smug and with a glint in his eye, said, "Unless you have a good enough reason to convince us, we won't do this even if you tie Paimon up!"

puff.

Unable to hold it in, Yingmei almost spat out all the apple wine she had just drunk.

No, you were just swearing you would never do it, Paimon, where is your stance now?

"Hehe~"

Upon hearing this, Wendy knew there was hope.

He chuckled, winked, and looked at Paimon with a smile: "Then I wonder what kind of reward Paimon would like, hmm... how about two more glasses of apple cider?"

Paimon's apple cider is all gone.

But this is clearly not sincere enough.

"Hmph, you think you can bribe me with two glasses of apple wine? Only a fool would fall for that!"

Paimon scoffed, "Let me think... Unless you give me a hundred Sweet Flower Chickens, the Traveler and I won't agree to this!"

thump!

Yingmei collapsed headfirst.

"Hey, a hundred is a bit too many, how about twenty?"

Wendy struggled to suppress a laugh as she earnestly bargained: "So many sweet flower-stuffed chickens... you know how hard I work to earn money, I can't possibly make this many all at once..."

"Ninety, that's the most we can have!"
