"Hey! How can you be so greedy for money!" Paimon jumped up in dissatisfaction after hearing Kujo Tsumugi's salary-oriented words, "I'm just doing a favor for a friend, why do you have to bring money into everything!"
"What do you know!"
Hearing what Paimon said, Kujo Tsumugi frowned and felt a little annoyed.
"Unlike Ying, a traveler with no purpose, I came to Mondstadt for only three reasons: to make money, to make money, and to make money!"
"If I get one more Mora here, my sister's military budget will be increased. Facing the attack of the rebels on Haiji Island, we can make more perfect defense measures and reduce the casualties of the Tenryo Bugyo!!"
"You know nothing, shut up!"
As Kujo Tsumugi spoke, she began to become a little excited.
If possible, Kujo Tsumugi would not bother to come to Mondstadt to cheat and deceive people. Wouldn't it be better for her to stay in Inazuma and be an honest noble lady?
If it weren't for those damn cultists on Umi Island, if it weren't for the Kanjo Bugyo who were in cahoots with the Fatui, would Kujo Tsumugi still have to come to Mondstadt to cheat people every day?
"Alas?!"
Kujo Tsumugi's sudden rage caught everyone off guard, and scared Paimon so much that he immediately hid behind Ying, not daring to show up again.
"Tsumugi, don't be angry. Paimon didn't mean it." Ying started to smooth things over.
Kujo Tsumugi also knew that her behavior was inappropriate, so she quickly calmed down and turned around to leave, but she didn't expect Ying to call her again.
"what?"
Kujo Tsumugi's tone was very harsh. She was really angry today.
"If you have time later, tell me more about Inazuma's situation."
Ying's eyes were a little vague. She had known Kujo Tsumugi for nearly four months, and she originally thought that she knew Kujo Tsumugi well enough. But this time, Kujo Tsumugi suddenly got angry and said some of her true feelings. Ying then realized that she didn't know her well.
As for why Kujo Tsumugi is so greedy for money, as for why Kujo Tsumugi came to Mond, as for the situation in Kujo Tsumugi's hometown Inazuma... Ying was surprised to find that she knew nothing about these reasons.
This made Ying feel a little guilty towards Kujo Tsumugi. She felt that she only looked at the surface and seemed to have wronged Kujo Tsumugi.
"After the Brew Festival, if there's time."
Hearing Ying say this, Kujo Tsumugi's tone softened. It had been more than four months since she came to Mond, and this was the first time someone was willing to listen to her talk about these things.
"Well, bye then."
Tsumugi Kujo waved her hand and left quickly before Ying could hand over her troubles to her.
Chapter 200 She Turned Back Again
Although the Mondstadt Brew Festival is very lively, it does not mean that every place in the Whispering Forest area is always crowded with people. Just like the dock where Tsumugi Kujo and Eula are staying, as long as you look carefully, you can always find a remote and deserted corner.
And in this remote corner, two figures, one big and one small, were roaming in the forest. Two pairs of eyes were observing the various plants around them, as if they were looking for something.
The taller of the two figures is a young man with long white hair and red eyes. There is a prominent scar on the lower left corner of his face.
And that petite figure, with short pink cherry-colored hair, two cat ears standing upright on top of her head, and a tricolor tail swaying up and down behind her, is none other than the well-known Diona.
“There’s nothing here either.”
Diona looked around, but didn't find the windmill daisy she was looking for, and felt a little disappointed.
Yesterday, Ying found Diona, hoping that she could recreate the taste of the Thousand Winds Wine left to Lei Ze by his parents. After tasting some, Diona, relying on her skills as a top bartender, has determined most of the materials. Now she has gathered many ingredients for brewing the Thousand Winds Wine. Now Diona and Lei Ze are looking for windmill daisies in the Whispering Forest, but it seems that the progress is not very good.
"In addition to windmill chrysanthemums, the Thousand Winds Wine left by your parents also has a slightly bitter taste, but I don't know which ingredient will produce this bitter taste." Diona said with a frown. She has been blessed by the spring elves since she was a child. All the brewed and blended wines have different unique flavors, but there will never be an unpleasant taste like "bitterness", so Diona doesn't know the source of the bitterness.
"I understand." Lei Ze, who was following behind Diona, nodded. Since he was adopted by a wolf pack when he was a baby, Lei Ze regarded the wolf pack as his family. Even speaking and swordsmanship were taught to Lei Ze by Falga, the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius.
However, since Lei Ze had missed the best time to learn the language at that time, although Lei Ze now masters human language, he still speaks in a discontinuous manner and cannot speak a sentence too long.
The combination of the above two reasons has led to Lei Ze developing a taciturn character.
"Let's go. It's almost time for the appointment with Ying." Diona took out her small pocket watch, looked at the time, and then said to Lei Ze.
"Ah."
On their way back, they met an uninvited guest.
"Dio-na!"
Tsumugi Kujo jumped out from the bushes on the side of the road, startling the two of them.
Diona glanced at Kujo Tsumugi with disdain, said nothing, and continued on her way, vividly illustrating what the saying "the antonym of love is not hate, but indifference" means.
But Kujo Tsumugi blocked Diona's path with a smile on her face.
"You're annoying!"
Diona tried several times to bypass Kujo Tsumugi and get on with her way, but was blocked by Kujo Tsumugi every time. Diona couldn't help but curse loudly.
"I'm here to help you this time."
Tsumugi Kujo took out the chrysanthemums and dandelion seeds that she had just picked from the God's Eye space.
With the gift skills from the earth veins and the game plot, Kujo Tsumugi can almost be said to be a prophet, and these things were prepared early on.
"The bitter taste in Thousand Winds Brew comes from dandelion seeds. With these two plants, we can replicate the Thousand Winds Brew made by Lei Ze's parents."
Mond's famous wine, Thousand Winds Brew, is a bit like a Northeastern hotpot. Fermented plants can be added to it at will according to personal preference, which makes it extremely difficult to replicate the taste of Thousand Winds Brew brewed by others.
Lei Ze had never seen his parents since he was a child. It was only a few days ago that he found the letters his parents left for him and half a bottle of Thousand Winds Wine among the personal belongings left by Falga. So Lei Ze wanted to learn more about his irresponsible parents by replicating the taste of Thousand Winds Wine.
"Thank you."
Lei Ze didn't know Kujo Tsumugi, and seeing that she was willing to help him, he thought she was a good person, so he immediately took the plant that Kujo Tsumugi handed over to him.
"What do you want to do!"
Unlike Lei Ze who accepted it graciously, Diona immediately became alert, with every hair on her flowery tail standing up.
"I just want to win your favor and have a date with you at the Wine Festival tomorrow, my little Dionna."
The real purpose is actually to persuade Diona to let go of her extreme hatred of alcohol.
Previously, Tsumugi Kujo helped her get the retirement benefits of the vice-captain of the Knights of Favonius. Now, as long as Diona stops hating alcohol so much, Tsumugi Kujo’s duties as the "elder" will be almost completed.
In this way, Tsumugi Kujo can be said to have done justice to the cat girl Katsrein who ran across most of Teyvat with her in The Sims without any complaints.
"Bah! Disgusting!"
After hearing what Tsumugi Kujo said, Diona expressed her complete distrust of her and went around Tsumugi Kujo's body and continued on her way.
Tsumugi Kujo no longer stopped Diona from moving forward, nor did she talk to Diona. She just followed Diona silently from behind, just like those guys in moba games who deliberately followed the jungler to steal the jungle in order to annoy their teammates.
I don't AFK, and I won't intentionally give away kills when I meet an enemy, but I just want to take advantage of your wild monsters, not letting you have fun, just to disgust you on purpose.
Hey, just playing~
"That..." Lei Ze didn't know what happened between Kujo Tsumugi and Diona. He was very impressed with Kujo Tsumugi's assistance and now he just wanted to express his gratitude to Kujo Tsumugi, so he thanked Kujo Tsumugi again and again on the way.
"Thank you for your help. What's your name?"
"It's okay." Tsumugi Kujo glanced at Lei Ze with a hint of mockery in her eyes, "But I really don't understand why you want to know about your parents, when they abandoned you so cruelly."
"Mom and Dad didn't abandon me."
"Oh? Really?" Hearing what Lei Ze said, Kujo Tsumugi's original smile slightly curled up again.
If Ying or Qin were here, they would know that someone was about to be in trouble when they saw Kujo Tsumugi's smile.
"Then let's first clarify one thing, Lei Ze. You have been living with wolves since you can remember."
Upon hearing this, Lei Ze nodded obediently.
"Under the leadership of the demon god Andrius, the wolf pack of the Wolf Territory would take the initiative to adopt nearby human babies. That's how Lei Ze survived."
"The wolf pack is a family." Lei Ze said firmly.
"But there's just one little problem."
Tsumugi Kujo once again showed off her devil fangs.
"Although the wolves in the Wolf Territory will not attack humans under the control of the demon god Andrius, people are afraid of wolves and have moved far away from them. There are no humans living in the Wolf Territory and its surrounding areas."
"So, how did a tiny human cub appear in the desolate and uninhabited Wolf Run Territory?"
Generally speaking, human cubs will start to remember things when they are 3 to 6 years old, and at this time, children can only run a little at best, and it is impossible for them to come to the Wolf Territory alone.
Kujo Tsumugi felt that it was very likely that Lei Ze was abandoned by his parents when he was still an infant, otherwise there was no way to explain why Lei Ze's parents would raise him for a few years and then abandon him.
"I think there is only one possibility, that is, your parents accidentally killed someone while playing games, but they didn't want to take the responsibility, so they thought of abandoning the child."
"Tsk tsk tsk, because they were afraid that the child might survive, they specially traveled through mountains and rivers to drop the child off in the Wolf Territory. What a "responsible" parent they are..."
Tsumugi Kujo shook her head and looked at Lei Ze with a mocking look.
Lei Ze stopped and was stunned for a moment, then immediately retorted and took out half a bottle of Thousand Winds Wine and a letter left to him by his parents from the Eye of God space.
"You are lying."
"My parents love me very much, here is the evidence!"
"This wasn't given to you personally by your parents, so it can be fake. And this half bottle of Thousand Winds Wine... I remember that Grand Commander Falga of the Knights of Favonius was also a drunkard. Could this be what he left over? Hahahaha..."
When she said this, Tsumugi Kujo couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"No, no..."
Lei Ze hugged the Thousand Winds Wine and the envelope tightly in his arms and took steps back. He did not want to admit what Kujo Tsumugi said, but Captain Falga was indeed an alcoholic, and his usually sloppy personality seemed to lead to such behavior.
"As to whether my speculation is true, you can go back to the Wolf Territory and ask. Ask the demon god Andrius whether you were in a swaddling cloth when the wolves encountered you, or whether you ran out to play by yourself and got lost."
Kujo Tsumugi's words awakened Lei Ze. He grabbed the last straw, holding the wine and letter in his arms, and ran directly towards the direction of Benlang Territory.
"Hey, Raize!"
Diona was calling out from behind, but Lei Ze couldn't care less about that at this moment. He only wanted to return to the Wolf Territory to find out the truth of what happened back then. His agile figure jumped and shuttled between the bushes, and he disappeared in just a dozen seconds.
"Is this the result you wanted?!" After Lei Ze left, Diona couldn't help but point at Kujo Tsumugi and curse.
"Little Diona, what are you talking about? I'm just trying to persuade the poor lamb to turn back from his wrong path." Kujo Tsumugi expressed that she felt aggrieved.
"Because if the normal process is followed, Lei Ze will eventually brew his own Thousand Winds wine. With my interference, Lei Ze will not continue to brew wine, and he will not touch the wine you hate the most. There will be one less drunkard in the world."
"As long as everyone gets rid of their addiction to alcohol, Mond Wine Industry will naturally collapse. Isn't this what you have always hoped for?"
Tsumugi Kujo is still using her twisted theories to deceive Diona.
"In order to destroy Mond Wine, I am willing to transform into a demon, but you are still pretending to be a good person. Does this mean that my determination is stronger than yours?"
"Besides, I didn't lie just now..."
A glimmer of gloom flashed across Kujo Tsumugi's eyes.
Before coming here, Tsumugi Kujo used the gift of the earth vein to investigate Lei Ze and Diona, and also saw the earth vein memory of Lei Ze's parents abandoning him. Although it was cruel, what she just said was actually true.
The continent of Teyvat itself hides countless tragedies, but because it is a 12+ game, Mihoyo did not describe it too clearly.
Now that Lei Ze is no longer a burden to them, their parents are still living a happy and loving life as adventurers. They are currently playing with mushrooms in Xumi. If Lei Ze knew about this, he would probably be even more sad.
I was so kind-hearted to hide this matter!
Kujo Tsumugi was almost moved to tears by her own kindness.
"You're an asshole!"
Diona gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words. She had seen through the rotten guy Kujo Tsumugi.
"Thanks for the compliment."
"So how about we go on a date tomorrow, little Dionna?"
Looking at the smiling face of Tsumugi Kujo, Diona could no longer control her hand. Her slender wrist drew an arc in the air, and then...
"Snapped!"
The crisp sound of hitting was heard, completely stunning Kujo Tsumugi.
Feeling the burning pain on her cheek, Kujo Tsumugi was filled with disbelief.
I was...slapped?
By a civilian?!
Even my sister never hit me!
