Abedo: 'Oh, isn't that the emergency rations you brought? I'm so sorry.'

Su Bai: 'I think your insincere apology, Abedo, has only fueled Abedo's anger.'

Abe: 'Abedo, you'd better die!'

Chapter 318 The Arrival of Xingqiu and Chongyun

Hana Sanri: 'The little angel has invited some guests from Mondstadt and Liyue to this festival. I wonder if you know them.'

Hana Sanri: 'If I remember correctly, a young writer who's quite good at novels said he'd bring his friends along. I wonder where they are now.'

Paimon: 'A novelist? In my memory, only Xingqiu writes novels, but his novels don't seem to be very popular. Hana Sanri-senpai probably wasn't referring to him.'

Yae no Miko: 'Little one, don't jump to conclusions so quickly. A work that doesn't sell well in Liyue might be a bestseller in Inazuma. That author named Makoto's novels are very popular in Inazuma.'

Su Bai: 'Zhen Yu? That name sounds familiar; she must be someone I know.'

Abedo: 'You actually know Su Bai? Although I'm responsible for illustrating Zhenyu's novels, I've never actually met him.'

Aberdo: 'But this is a good opportunity to get to know each other. If we get along well, long-term cooperation isn't out of the question. After all, I'm not like my foolish brother.'

Abe: '??? Abe, you just wait, one day I'll beat you to a pulp!'

Inside the cabin, Abe, who had been defeated in battle, was preparing lunch. When he saw that Abe had brought him along again, Abe picked up a cleaver and slammed it hard on the cutting board. Damn it, this android is really infuriating.

"My foolish brother, isn't lunch ready yet? If you don't get it ready soon, we'll be heading to Inazuma this afternoon."

"Hurry up, hurry up, what are you rushing me for? If you're so capable, come down and do it yourself."

Abess yelled in annoyance, "Does this guy really think cooking is an easy job? He not only has to consider the taste, but also the nutritional balance, because Klee is still young, and a balanced diet is very important for her."

而在稻妻城内,荒泷一斗已经带着他的小弟们来到了离岛,现在的荒泷一斗可和以前的荒泷一斗不一样了,现在的荒泷一斗找到了他的另一个鬼族同伴,在一顿爱的感化下(揍了一顿他的鬼族同伴),他的这位属于青鬼的同伴也是加入了荒泷派。

"Good brother Zhuo, now that you've joined our Wild Water Sect, I, as the leader, naturally welcome you."

"Come on, let's go to the festival for a meal. I haven't used the Mora I earned these past few days yet, so I'll treat you to a big meal."

"Hey boss, how about we just grab something to eat around here? We really don't need to go through the festival or anything, it's too expensive. After all, we don't earn money easily."

The blue oni named Takuya felt a little embarrassed when Ichidou was so enthusiastic about taking him to eat, or even to a festival. After all, the fact that the oni were not well-liked had been a long-standing issue in his mind, and he was still a little unaccustomed to being suddenly taken to a crowded place.

"Don't worry, brother. There are recruitment ads everywhere in Inazuma. People like us who move things can earn a lot of money every day."

"Boss, now that you say that, I'm even less willing to let you spend money."

Zhuo Ye frowned, somewhat troubled. How could he have impulsively agreed to let this guy join his gang? Given his usual habits, he would never have been so reckless.

"Hey, this little bit of money is nothing. Anyway, Mora is meant to be spent. Come on, let's go get some udon."

Ichidou, however, didn't have so many thoughts. He put his arm around Takuya and led his three underlings toward the outlying island. Ichidou was well aware that a festival was being held there, since he had personally delivered many of the festival's items to the island.

While this grand festival was being held inside the island, at the port on the island's coast, two staff members of the Heavenly Territory were staring blankly at the sea. Judging from their mental state, they seemed to be in quite a bad mood.

Xingqiu: 'Um, does anyone in the group know the exact location of the Rongcai Festival?'

Paimon: "Yukiaki! What are you doing here in Inazuma? Are you here for the Inazuma festival too?"

Su Bai: 'Wait, I remember now, isn't Zhenyu Xingqiu's pen name? I even saw Xingqiu's signature when I went to his house before.'

Xingqiu: 'Hehe, I didn't expect you to still remember, Su Bai. I brought Chongyun with me this time; I thought only Chongyun would remember my pen name.'

Thomas: 'What?! Makumago-sensei is in Inazuma?! Oh my god! Master, I need to ask for leave! I need to go get Makumago-sensei's autograph!'

Ayato Kamisato: 'Thoma, calm down. It's not that you can't ask for leave, but you need to at least make lunch. Otherwise, Ayaka might not let you out.'

Ayato Kamisato: 'Brother, I've learned a lot of cooking. Even if Thomas goes out, I can cook for myself.'

Kaedehara Manyo: 'Oh? Makumago-sensei has come to Inazuma? It seems I should go and have a chat with him.'

Paimon: 'I didn't expect Xingqiu to be so popular in Inazuma. Even Man'yō, who's focused on swordsmanship, has chimed in. That's amazing.'

Paimon: 'Wait, if I had known Xingqiu was so popular in Inazuma, I should have accepted the manuscripts he offered to me and Ying. Those precious manuscripts could probably fetch a lot of Mora.'

Su Bai: 'Generally speaking rationally, that's certainly true. The pen name "Zhenyu" is quite famous in Daoqi's community, and his manuscripts would definitely fetch a high price among his enthusiastic fans.'

Paimon: "Aaaaaah, Su Bai, please stop! My heart is aching so much!"

Xingqiu: 'Haha, it's all just empty fame. If you're interested, I can give you all the manuscripts when you return to Liyue. But right now, there's something I need to resolve; I'm a bit unsure which direction to take.'

The beautiful and intelligent Yae no Miko thought: 'Looks like those two are slacking off again. I really don't know how Sasara manages her subordinates.'

Kujo Sara: 'Yae no Kami, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it? It was clearly you...'

Paimon: 'Stop talking. Ying and I will go to the dock ourselves to welcome Xingqiu and Chongyun.'

On the outlying island, Paimon, who had been wandering around the festival grounds, shoved his phone into his personal storage and dragged Ying towards the island's pier. Paimon, the money-grubber, had already started fantasizing about the extravagant life he would lead after obtaining Xingqiu's manuscript. Before he actually got it, Paimon felt it was necessary to maintain a good relationship with Xingqiu.

Chapter 319 Suspicious Individual Wendy

(Back from my trip, double updates will resume tomorrow~)

"This is Inazuma? It doesn't seem as prosperous as Liyue Harbor. Hey Abedor, didn't you say someone would be here to greet us? Where is he?"

"This is a bit surprising to me. Logically speaking, in a country like Inazuma that places great importance on etiquette, such a rude thing shouldn't happen. It's really strange."

Abedo stroked his chin. He had done some research before coming to Inazuma and knew a little about what kind of country Inazuma was. This made Abedo a little puzzled. Had something happened in Inazuma?

That shouldn't be the case. Looking at Inazuma Castle from the sea, he didn't notice anything amiss, and he didn't even sense the atmosphere of war.

After glancing at Klee picking up seashells, Abedo thought for a moment and decided to observe her first. After all, he had brought Klee with him this time, and he couldn't let anything happen to her because of carelessness.

"Abedo, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and send a message to ask him."

"You didn't think of this, did you? No way, no way. It seems even you miscalculated, Abedo. Tsk tsk tsk. I'd better ask Su Bai or Hall Master Hu."

Having not sensed the abyss's aura, Abe Shao mocked Abe Duo a few times before turning on his phone. At that moment, Abe Shao couldn't help but sigh, "Having a phone is so convenient."

Abe Shao: 'Su Bai, Hall Master Hu, Abe and I have arrived. Which direction are you in? We'll come find you right away.'

Wangsheng Hall's Limited-Time Grand Sale: 'Young Master Abe, you've arrived so quickly! Weren't you supposed to be here tonight?'

Abe: 'There was a slight accident while sailing at sea, and the ship that brought us here immediately accelerated to its maximum speed.'

Abedo: 'My foolish brother, if you hadn't insisted on demonstrating your so-called dragon mode, I don't think we would have been blacklisted by that ship. Now, finding a ship back to Mondstadt is still a question.'

Abe: 'That's Abe's problem then. Anyway, I can take Big Sister Beidou's ship back to Liyue.'

Abe: 'I'll bring Klee to Liyue for a few days too; it's not safe for her to stay with you.'

The world's finest bard: 'Um, if any of you are available, could you please help me verify that I'm not a suspicious person? I've barely set foot on Inazuma's soil when I've been stopped.'

Zhong Li: 'Generally speaking, you might indeed be a suspicious person.'

Kujo Sara: 'If even Mr. Zhongli has said so, then this suspicious person who claims to be a bard will have to come with me. Until someone bails you out, you'd better behave yourself.'

The world's finest bard: 'Hey, old man, this isn't a joke! Given our relationship, if you're not going to vouch for me, don't try to frame me!'

Inside a warehouse, Wendy looked with a wry smile at the Shogunate soldiers who had surrounded him. Drinking had really made him lose his mind. He had just sobered up from his drunken state, and when he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by burly men. If these men hadn't just been staring at him and hadn't drawn their swords, Wendy would have almost turned into a whirlwind and disappeared.

"Um, miss, I'm really not a suspicious person. If you can get in touch with Su Bai, she will definitely testify for me."

“Miss Wendy, although you have a cell phone and know Mr. Zhongli, rules are rules. You broke into the Shogunate warehouse without an invitation, and you may have to spend a few days in jail eating free meals.”

"But don't worry, I'll prepare a room for you alone. A delicate girl like you probably isn't a match for those prisoners."

After looking Wendy up and down, Kujo Sara decided to give Wendy a special treatment. After all, even with the Eye of God, Kujo Sara didn't think that a small-armed 'girl' like Wendy would be very strong.

Upon hearing Kujo Sara's arrangements for him, Wendy's eye twitched, and he silently sighed, "Drinking can cause trouble." However, even though drinking might delay things, it wouldn't stop him from having another bottle.

Thinking this, Wendy stuffed another bottle of fine apples into her bosom. The surrounding Shogunate soldiers were stunned to see Wendy so blatantly stuffing the Shogunate-bought wine into her bosom right in front of them.

"Why are you all staring at me like that? There are so many more cider bottles over there. If you want some, just go get them yourselves. Stop staring at the bottle I'm holding."

Kujo Sara sniffed the smell of alcohol emanating from Wendy, her delicate eyebrows furrowing tightly. It seemed that Miss Wendy was still not sober, still holding a bottle even in this state.

Kujo Sara: 'Does anyone in the group know this lady? She claims to be the best bard in the world, and I think her name is Wendy. [Image]'

The world's finest bard: 'Um, Miss Kujo, is it possible that I'm a boy?'

Paimon: 'The best bard in the world? Isn't that what street singers always say? This picture... isn't that a street singer? Wait, aren't we supposed to be unable to receive other signals? Why can I see your message, street singer?!'

Wendy: 'Hey, I was invited to the festival as a guest, but I don't know where I put the invitation, which is why Ms. Kujo misunderstood.'

Limited-time special offer from the Temple of Rebirth: 'Wendy, how's the Mondstadt branch of our Temple of Rebirth doing lately?'

The world's finest bard: 'Rest assured, Master, our Hall of Rebirth's performance in Mondstadt will continue to soar.'

Wendy recalled the number of times he had been drinking over the past few months, and it seemed to have been steadily increasing. Considering that his salary was linked to the performance of the Rebirth Hall, the performance of the Rebirth Hall Mondstadt branch should be quite good.

Grand Opening Special at the Rebirth Hall: 'That's good, that's good. It seems my judgment was quite good after all.'

The world's finest bard: 'Um, Master, why don't you explain to this Miss Kujo? I'm really not someone suspicious.'

Zhongli: 'That guy who used to freeload off others and even forged contracts, even though he has a job now, the title of street hustler hasn't been removed from his head.'

Grand Opening Sale at the Hall of Rebirth: "Alright, alright, we're all colleagues. Zhongli, stop bullying Wendy. Shaluo, Wendy is indeed one of our people at the Hall of Rebirth, so please don't arrest him."

Kujo Sara: 'Since this bard is from your Rebirth Hall, then Hall Master Hu, come to the warehouse and take him away. Oh, and remember to bring 200,000 Mora; he stole and drank three whole cases of top-grade wine.'

Grand Opening Sale at Wangsheng Hall: 'What the heck? Two hundred thousand Mora? Cough cough, Wendy!!!'

The finest bard in the world: 'Hey!'

Aberdo: 'Um, gentlemen, could someone show me the way to my foolish brother?'

Chapter 320 Abedo and Abeso

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have believed that these two would actually be watching such a childish game..."

"Perhaps they don't care what other people think..."

While searching for food at the festival, Ying and Paimon found it somewhat unbelievable that Zhongli and Wendy were watching Arataki Ichito and the children fight insects. However, considering the two's usual behavior, they felt that it was understandable.

"Ying, if all else fails, you should register your name at the Hall of Rebirth."

"Huh? Why is that?"

Ying took a bite of the tricolor dumpling, somewhat puzzled. She was free-spirited by nature and not interested in joining any faction. Although Hu Tao certainly wouldn't let her do anything, it still made Ying feel a little uncomfortable.

"Let's not talk about Zhongli for now. Look at Wendy, that busker. Ever since she joined the Hall of Rebirth, she has no worries about food or clothing, and she can even drink every day. Her quality of life has skyrocketed. This shows how good the benefits are at the Hall of Rebirth."
