Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"People facing the darkness before dawn, unlucky members of the Adventurers' Guild, hmm, they all seem like decent people. I should definitely get to know them if I have the chance."

"This person who is losing hair but thinks it's just cat or dog shedding because they don't have a mirror at home is really unlucky. Maybe next time we can buy a batch of mirrors from Liyue and sell them in Mondstadt."

"Hey, big fox, let's go! What are you looking at in front of the message board?"

As Diona emerged from the Cat's Tail Tavern carrying a bow and arrow, she saw Su Bai engrossed in reading the messages on the message board. Curious, Diona leaned closer. (My cat loves to join in the fun; he likes to chew on my mouse cable when I'm playing games.)

"Diona, this Miss Flora must be a renowned beauty, someone actually confessed their love to her here." (Flora is the little flower girl from Mondstadt, but it's said she's already an adult, is she a legally recognized loli?)

"What? Someone confessed their love to Flora? No way, I'm going to tear this message down."

When Diona saw the message confessing her love on the message board, she immediately tried to tear it down with her little arms. If Su Bai hadn't lifted Diona into the air in time, Diona might have succeeded.

"Diona, what are you doing? Don't just tear up the messages on the message board, especially since this is a confession message."

"In Liyue, there's an old saying: 'It's better to tear down ten bridges than to break up one marriage.'"

"I'm tearing this up precisely because it's a confession of love!"

Diona kicked her short legs in mid-air, trying to get Su Bai to put her down, but Su Bai wouldn't let go. Helpless, Diona pointed at someone.

"She is Flora."

Su Bai followed Diona's finger and saw a little girl selling flowers characteristic of the Mondstadt region. Upon closer inspection, the little girl was quite a beauty, so it seemed the person who confessed his love had good taste.

Wait, a beauty? Holy crap, Flora is a little girl??? Su Bai was greatly shocked. Although Mondstadt is a country that values ​​freedom, it can't be this free.

Isn't someone who confesses his feelings to even a little girl afraid of being captured by the Knights of Favonius? No wonder the messages on the message board are all anonymous; if they were real names, this person would probably be spending the next day in jail.

No, when he leaves Mondstadt, he must bring Klee back to Liyue. The people of Mondstadt are too dangerous; the people of Liyue are much more honest and kind.

"Big fox, what are you standing there for? Put me down right now!"

"I'll put you down, but Diona, find me a pen. I need to leave this message."

Diona, who had been put down, originally wanted to tear up the message, but after hearing what Su Bai said, she complained about the trouble, but still obediently went to the Cat Tail Tavern to get a pen and handed it to Su Bai.

Su Bai took the pen and took a deep breath. Relying on the calligraphy skills he had developed since childhood when he was forced to practice by True Monarch Liuyun, he wrote a sentence in a crooked and messy manner on the message board.

“Crime, you are so young, you are truly wicked. A new life is about to begin, and we Knights of Favonius will keep a close eye on you.”

Diona glanced at Su Bai in surprise when she saw the handwriting on the message board, which looked almost like a crab crawling. She hadn't expected that there were actually people on the Teyvat continent who could write so abstractly.

Su Bai coughed awkwardly twice. It was already an extraordinary performance for him to be able to write at all after not holding a pen for so many years. Asking him to write more neatly would be asking too much of the fox.

"Alright, alright, Diona, stop looking. Didn't you say you were going to collect some materials to produce that evil thing? Let's hurry up and go."

"Big fox, don't be embarrassed. I won't laugh at you. You're the first person who wanted to work with Diona to destroy that evil."

What the heck? Su Bai was incredulous upon hearing Diona's words. Wait, when did the people of Mondstadt develop such morbid tastes? They could actually eat raw frog and lizard meat? And he was the first person to team up with Diona?!

"Big Fox, go check if the two guards at the gate are asleep. Children aren't allowed to leave Mondstadt because of Stormterror. If they're not asleep, I'll have to climb the walls."

"The gatekeepers would fall asleep? Diona, are you sure? Aren't those two guards always standing?"

Diona snorted when she saw Su Bai's naive and unsophisticated attitude. Sure enough, the fox from Liyue had no idea how good Mondstadt's guards were at slacking off.

Diona decided not to let Su Bai go see either. Based on her understanding of the two guards, they had drunk so much last night that they were probably sleeping standing up now.

Diona rolled and jumped, arriving directly at the gates of Mondstadt. As she approached Swann and Lawrence, the two Knights of Favonius guarding the gates, Diona activated a cat trait: walking silently.

Inside Mondstadt, Su Bai stared in disbelief as Diona walked out of the gate. When he arrived in front of the two Knights of Favonius, he was impressed to see that they were standing ramrod straight with their eyes closed. He gave them a thumbs up; he had never seen such skill before.

"Hey, watch out, don't scare the pigeons!"

"Seriously, this morning a blonde lady with a flying pet killed a lot of pigeons. You two should be careful."

Diona narrowed her eyes. "Well, you little Timmy, how dare you talk to me like that? It seems it's time to remind Timmy of Diona's other profession."

She drew her bow, pulled the string, and shot the arrow in one fluid motion. By the time Timmy reacted, Diona had already tossed a pigeon into the bag she was carrying.

"Big fox, hurry up and leave, or Timmy will cry again."

As she spoke, Diona grabbed Su Bai's hand and ran towards the other side of the bridge. During the run, the pigeons on the bridge were startled and flew away, leaving Timmy all alone on the vast bridge, heartbroken.

"Waaaaah, you're all bad people! Diona is a bad person, and that blonde is a bad person too, waaaaah!"

Although it was a bit dishonest to do that, for some reason, Su Bai had a sudden urge to shoot down a few pigeons with his flashlight. Was it out of the fox's hunting instinct? But he didn't have this urge when he encountered pigeons elsewhere. It was really strange.

Chapter Fourteen: The Culprit Was Right Beside Me

Starfall Lake, a lake rich in freshwater resources within Mondstadt, has nurtured many lives in its surrounding area. Today, however, these poor little lives have been mercilessly snatched away by a terrible demon and cast into the abyss of evil.

"One frog, two frogs, hey, there's a lizard over there, little lizard, don't run away."

Diona chased after the lizard, carrying a small cloth bag that looked bulging. The frogs and lizards hiding in the grass were watching their hero—the little lizard that had lured the devil away.

"The lonely and isolated (I think we should unite.)"

"Let's unite!"

"Alone, alone (We will attack from both the front and the rear, forming a pincer movement; we will surely defeat this devil)."

"Suosuo (Brother, you're clever! I wonder what your name is)."

"Lonely and widowed (Brother, you're too kind. I'm not that smart. Other frogs are kind and usually call me 'Super Smart'.")

Just as the frog was enjoying the praise from the other frogs and lizards, it suddenly noticed that the sunlight seemed particularly dazzling today. Before it could react, a small hand suddenly appeared above the parted grass and lifted it into the air with tremendous force.

"What's wrong with this frog? It dares to croak 'lonely, lonely' even though it knows I'm nearby. Is there something wrong with its head, making it not very smart? Oh well, let's release this one and go catch a few more."

Diona casually tossed the frog in her hand aside and turned to chase after the fleeing frogs. Su Bai wasn't idle either. Earlier, when he was chatting with Diona on the way, he overheard her saying that she hadn't had a picnic in a long time. Since he had nothing else to do, Su Bai decided to collect some wood to prepare for a picnic with Diona.

"Diona, you keep catching these small animals, I'm going to borrow a light."

Su Bai stood by Starfall Lake, gazing into the distance. There, a Hilichurl was patrolling with a torch. Su Bai didn't stand on ceremony with the Hilichurl. A bolt of lightning shot into the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck the Hilichurl directly on the head. Before the poor Hilichurl could even scream, it turned to ashes.

"Give it to me."

Su Bai happily picked up the torch that had fallen to the ground. He really hoped that he could encounter such a useful Hilichurl in the wild in the future. It would be best if there were more of them, so that he wouldn't need to look for firewood and could just make a campfire from the Hilichurl's torches.

After skillfully setting up the campfire, Su Bai, seeing that it was still early, went to the side of Xingluo Lake and flicked his two tails onto the lake surface. The tips of his two tails gently swayed up and down in the water.

When Diona saw that Su Bai was fishing in this way, she thought that Su Bai's brain might be as messed up as the frog from before. If fishing were really that easy, her father wouldn't always come back empty-handed.

"Big fox, stop messing with your tail. After I catch these frogs, I'll go catch you a couple of fish."

"Shh, little Diona, haven't you heard the story of the Emperor fishing, where those who are willing will take the bait?"

Diona pouted, wondering how to make Su Bai less embarrassed. After all, as the only one who wanted to defeat Mondstadt Winery like her (?), Diona didn't want her ally to run away because of embarrassment.

"They've taken the bait."

Su Bai suddenly flicked his tail, and the two plump bass that were biting his tail drew a perfect arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground and losing consciousness.

"It's been a while since I used my tail to fish. Looks like my technique is still pretty good. If a bass dies, the taste will be much worse."

"Little Diona, why aren't you moving? Have you finished catching the frogs and lizards? Let's grill some fish together."

Diona looked at Su Bai's tail and then at her own. Why was Su Bai's tail so much more impressive, even though they were both tails?

"Here it comes! Since it's the fish you caught, Big Fox, let me grill it. It'll be a good opportunity for you to see the grilling techniques of our Katzline clan. My father taught me this, and it will definitely taste better than any grilled fish you've ever had."

Diona, who hadn't eaten much all morning, decided to let the little frogs and lizards go for the time being, and would continue her battle of wits with these little guys after she filled her stomach.

Beside the campfire, Diona skillfully flipped the grilled fish, the oil from the sea bass dripping onto the fire with an enticing sizzle, and the aroma of the sea bass made Su Bai swallow hard.

"By the way, big fox, are you related to our Katzrin clan? In Mondstadt, only our Katzrin clan has tails and ears."

"No, I'm from Liyue. I only came to Mondstadt to handle some matters. Do Diona and Klee get along well?" Klee asked the same question.

"Klee? She's my friend too, you big fox. If you dare bully Klee, I'll beat you up."

Seeing Diona's fierce yet adorable appearance, Su Bai, as if possessed, patted Diona's head, which immediately made Diona bristle.

"Big fox, how dare you touch my head? Only Father is allowed to touch my head."

"Dad? It seems that in Diona's mind, your dad must be a very outstanding person."

When Su Bai mentioned her father, Diona looked incredibly proud. In her eyes, as long as her father wasn't bewitched by that damned wine, he was the best person in the world.

"Hmph, you big fox, one day we can defeat Mondstadt Brewery together, and then there will be no more drunkards in Mondstadt."

"Yes (first tone), ah ah?? (second tone)"

Wait, when did I start thinking I was going to wipe out Mondstadt Winery with Diona? Su Bai's head was spinning. Weren't we supposed to be going to wipe out frog sashimi and lizard sashimi? How did it turn into wiping out Mondstadt Winery?

"Little Diona, if you're going to destroy Mondstadt Winery, why are you catching so many frogs and lizards?"

At first, Su Bai thought that Diona wanted to put some medicine in the frogs and lizards to make the people who ate them have diarrhea so that they would stop eating them. But after hearing what Diona said, his guess was not correct. This puzzled Su Bai. He couldn't figure out what these small animals had to do with Mond Winery.

Diona slapped her forehead when she heard Su Bai say that. Oh right, she hadn't told her ally about her plan yet. How careless of her.

"Big fox, let me tell you, I'm the bartender at Cattail Tavern. If I use some weird stuff to make the drinks taste bad, I can destroy Mondstadt Brewing Company, and then Dad won't drink anymore."

Mixing drinks, strange things, frogs, lizards... Su Bai's expression turned strange. This innocent child wouldn't deliberately use frogs and lizards to mix drinks in order to stop her father from drinking.

"Hey Diona, what do you usually use to mix your drinks? Tell me and I'll help you find some later."

"In the past, we would use bitter herbs from Liyue and some small animals to make cocktails. Now, because of Stormterror, herbs are too expensive, so we can only use things like frog legs and lizard tails to make cocktails."

Su Bai's face twitched. What the hell was going on? The culprit was right next to me.

Chapter Fifteen: Delicious Grilled Fish

Su Bai didn't doubt Diona's words. When he opened the door, he had seen a guest with a frog leg floating in his glass. Just thinking about the slippery frog leg soaking in wine made Su Bai shudder. Even a fox wouldn't dare to eat that.

Upon learning the truth, Su Bai was quite puzzled. When did the Mondstadt people's tastes become so primitive? Was it that the tea in Liyue was no longer fragrant and delicious, or that the wine in Mondstadt was no longer pure? These people actually liked to drink wine made with frog legs and lizard tails. If this continued, would the Mondstadt people start making wine with foxes?

Thinking about this, Su Bai also felt it was very likely. No, next time he met Wendy, he must tell her about this. It was just too damn terrifying.

Diona nodded in satisfaction when she saw Su Bai's disgusted expression. This was how a normal person should look. She really didn't know why those alcoholics would drink her cocktails one after another, and even praise them for being delicious.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, or I'm worried I won't be able to eat anything at the picnic later."

With a pale face, Su Bai took out a cloth from the space of the Eye of God and spread it on the ground. He then took out some fruits and snacks and placed them on the cloth. When Diona saw this, her eyes lit up.

The last time she went on a picnic was a long, long time ago when her father took her. She didn't expect that she would actually remember Su Bai after mentioning him casually.

"Little Diona, if you keep spacing out, the fish in your hand will burn. I was hoping that your Katzline family's special grilled fish would be the main dish for this picnic."

"Huh??"

Upon seeing the grilled fish that showed no signs of browning, Diona immediately realized that she had been tricked by Su Bai, and the proud Diona immediately revealed her two little tiger teeth.
