"What's wrong with you?" Diona saw that Xing was not drinking and was just staring at the drink in a daze, so she couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Nothing, nothing." Xing came back to his senses and said quickly.
Forget it, I’ll think about my own health problems later.
As for this drink...it's already been made, so there's no way I can return it.
If I don't have enough money, I can just work here for a while, or go to Amber to borrow some at night...
Thinking of this, Xing picked up the cup and took a sip slowly.
"Mmm! Delicious!!"
Chapter 9 I Actually Have No Money
"I only have 5,000 Mora. I hope Miss Diona can show some mercy!"
Xing said this in her heart, and she didn't have the courage to say it out loud for a moment.
In order to delay time as much as possible, she could only drink it slowly, in small sips.
This small cup of drink is actually not that much, and most people can finish it in just a few sips.
But Xing hadn't finished half of the drink in ten minutes.
This made Diona begin to doubt herself.
Could it be that the drink she mixed was not actually tasty, and the words just now were just this elder sister's way of comforting herself?
It shouldn't be...
Ever since Diona started mixing cocktails, no one has ever said that what she mixes is not tasty.
Instead, every time those hateful drunkards gave the following comment: "Little Dionna has made progress again."
Making her meow in frustration.
"Well, actually it's because it tastes so good, I just couldn't bear to drink it all in one go." Xing also noticed Diona's strange look, and she quickly made up an excuse.
"After all, it's such a precious limited-edition drink..."
"If you want to drink, I can make you some later." Diona blushed and whispered, but soon turned her head away and crossed her arms: "No, don't get me wrong! I just think you are different from those alcoholic adults, not for anything else!"
"Then I'm truly honored." Xing smiled sheepishly.
According to the discussions of other people in the pub, it seems that Diona basically doesn't know how to make this drink.
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen you in Mondstadt. Where are you from?" Diona lay on the counter, looking at Xing curiously.
Whether in terms of dress or appearance, Xing looks obviously different from them.
Obviously a foreigner.
"From a distance." Xing thought about it and gave a very vague answer.
"how far?"
"It's so far that I don't know how to get back." Xing sighed deeply, lowered his head and stared at the seemingly endless drink on the table.
Her memory was still a little fuzzy, and she couldn't remember many things from the past, let alone how she came to this world. She had no idea at all.
Sometimes she would doubt whether she was the original owner of this body.
But no matter what, the feelings deep in her heart cannot be faked.
She now had only one thought, which was to go back to her family in the train crew.
"Hmm..." Diona felt a little uncomfortable seeing Xing looking so lonely.
The cat's ears drooped and its tail stopped wagging.
"Hey, it's nothing. I have plenty of time anyway. I will find a way to go back one day." Xing noticed Diona's expression.
Seeing that this cute little cat girl was affected by him, he quickly spoke up to comfort her, which was also to comfort himself.
"Yes! Big sister is a good adult who doesn't drink. She will definitely be able to realize her wishes!" Diona nodded.
"A good adult who doesn't drink?" Xing tilted his head in confusion.
Although she really doesn't drink, isn't it a bit strange for a bartender to say this?
"Why is it that not drinking makes you a good adult?" Xing was very curious about the little cat girl.
He's a bartender, but he seems to hate alcohol.
Just now, when she said she wanted a non-alcoholic drink, she could also feel Diona's excitement.
"Those drunkards, when they're drunk, are just like wild boars rolling in the mud after a meal!" Diona said angrily.
Including her most respected father, who was no longer like himself when he was drunk.
"This is all the fault of the alcohol. Alcohol is a bad thing that can deceive people and make them stupid!" Diona looked at Xing, a trace of scrutiny flashing in her eyes, "Big sister, don't become like that in the future, otherwise, otherwise..."
"Otherwise I will have to destroy the entire world's wine industry, and that would be too hard." Diona kept saying no for a long time without saying anything harsh to Xing.
"Haha, don't worry, I don't like drinking very much." Xing smiled gently.
"But why did the [Mond Liquor Killer] become the signature bartender of the tavern?"
She asked a question that she was very curious about, but found that after asking the question, Diona's mood became obviously wrong.
She seemed angry, but also a little aggrieved, and as if she was about to cry.
Xing suddenly became flustered and was still wondering if she had said something wrong.
"I'm sorry!" Xing realized something was wrong and immediately put his hands together and apologized loudly before Diona could speak.
"Forget it. I'll forgive you. After all, this is my first time here in Mondstadt." Seeing this, Diona could only curl her lips.
Then, she began to tell Xing about her own affairs.
He talked about his troubles and said that no matter what he did, he couldn't make a bad-tasting wine.
Xing listened silently and thought of himself.
Her current physical condition seems to have certain problems, but it does not seem to be a problem for her for the time being.
And what can I say, maybe this is a good thing?
------------
It seemed that Diona hadn't had such a happy chat with someone for a long time. Time passed by little by little, and it happened that no one came to disturb her during this period.
Unconsciously, the sky outside gradually dimmed. Xing woke up from a dream and realized that she had drunk up the not-so-large cup of drink without her knowing when.
"Are you leaving?" Diona also looked out the window, then turned to Xing and asked.
There weren't many customers left in the pub at this time of day. The pub's business should have been better as it got darker.
But because of the dragon disaster, everyone goes home early at night.
"Well, it's time to go. I have an appointment to meet someone." Xing nodded. She looked calm on the surface, but she was conflicted inside.
She has no money...
"Then, will you come again?" Diona looked at Xing with hope.
"Well, well, maybe." Xing was choked.
She couldn't tell Diona that she had no money and would probably not come again, right?
"That's good... Don't get me wrong, I just want you to help me try some non-alcoholic drinks." Diona looked happy, but then she deliberately put on a stern face.
"Diona, um, how much does this drink cost?" Seeing this, Xing gritted his teeth and finally asked resignedly.
You have to face it anyway, there's no point in avoiding it.
"Hmmm? Twenty thousand Mora per cup." Diona answered truthfully.
The price is actually not bad, not too expensive.
To be fair, a piece of jam costs more than 1300 Mora in Mondstadt. With a glass of wine like this, plus Diona's unique craftsmanship, Mora is already very good.
It's not much more expensive than those wines.
"Can I buy it on credit..." Xing looked up at Diona cautiously.
"Huh?!" Diona widened her eyes, as if she had never expected Xing to say such a thing.
"You don't have any money?"
"Um, I don't actually have any money."
Chapter 10 Come to my house
"Ha~" Xing exhaled slowly and walked out of the tavern in a daze.
In the end, although she repeatedly assured that she would bring the money later, Diona still generously treated Xing to a meal with an expression that said she really couldn't do anything to her.
But there is a price to pay.
You should visit Diona often, find time to play with her, bask in the sun, and catch fish for her.
Of course, the above are all Xing’s own interpretations, and are not Diona’s original words.
That shy and tsundere little cat girl wouldn't say it so bluntly.
However, her interpretation should not be wrong.
Anyway, after sitting in the tavern for the whole afternoon, it was time for her to go find Amber and the others.
It was late now and not many people were in the Deer Hunter restaurant, so Xing easily found Xing and Amber's table.
"Hey~Xing!" Paimon saw Xing and immediately waved to him.
Xingye quickly walked up to them and sat down.
The food hasn't been served on the table yet, it seems they have just arrived not long ago.
"Xing, where have you been this afternoon?" Paimeng asked curiously, saying what Ying wanted to say first.
Ying gave Paimon a look and said nothing else. She just looked at Xing silently, waiting for her answer.
"As for me, I went to the Cat's Tail Tavern and sat there for the whole afternoon." Xing scratched his head embarrassedly.
He had originally planned to stroll around the city and get to know this huge Mondstadt better.
But in the end, I didn't expect that I would forget the time while chatting with Diona at the Cat's Tail Tavern.
"Ah? You went to drink?!" Amber looked at Xing in surprise.
Although she was not sure about Xing's age, her face was obviously still childish, and she probably was not yet an adult.
"No, no, didn't you say that the bartenders there were particularly cute, so I went to take a look..." Xing waved his hands quickly.
"So that's how it is." Amber breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.
"What's the result? What kind of person is the bartender?" Paimon continued to ask curiously.
"Hmm..." Xing touched his chin, thinking seriously.
Diona, a calico-colored kitten with cute little eyebrows and a typical tsundere.
In general...
"Very cute!" Xing nodded seriously.
"Haha, I told you~" Amber smiled happily.
"You can go and see for yourself later. I think the child will like you." Xing thought for a while and then said to Ying.
"Ah."
"Let's not talk about me. What about you? What did you do after meeting the acting leader?" Xing asked the two of them.
"We went to the temple guarded by the four winds." Ying spoke before Paimon, otherwise Paimon would have to do it for her again.
