"It's just what we need. However, we are not familiar with the terrain of Mondstadt. If possible, we hope to entrust a guide to lead the way for us."
"No problem! I will be responsible for leading the way for you in this operation."
Qin responded without hesitation, and Lisa beside her stood up almost subconsciously after hearing her words.
"Qin?"
"Needless to say, I don't trust anyone else to accompany Si Luo and the others to carry out such a dangerous commission... Besides, they are just travelers passing through Mondstadt. If they really encounter danger, I will also guarantee their safety as the acting leader!"
Qin looked at her calmly. That determined expression made Lisa give up the idea of persuading her and she sighed helplessly.
"I knew it... Never mind. I was born to work hard. During this time, I will help you keep an eye on the movements of the Fatui."
"sorry to bother you."
A faint smile appeared on Qin's face, and then she looked at Si Luo again.
"By the way, Mr. Si Luo, have you registered with the Adventurer's Association?"
"No, although we also had this idea, but we encountered a dragon disaster just after entering the city yesterday, so we haven't had time to register yet."
"Really? Amber, I'll trouble you to lead Mr. Si Luo and the others to register at the Adventurer's Association later... After that, I will appoint you as the official assistants of the Knights."
Although the Adventurer's Association's headquarters is also located in the Kingdom of Winter and has close ties with it, the adventurers are a neutral force. If the dragon disaster problem is dealt with by entrustment, then the Knights who can recruit such outstanding adventurers can actually increase their reputation to a certain extent.
"I see…"
Amber, who had been standing aside as a nobody, responded weakly.
...
It was agreed that Qin would go directly to his home to find him early the next morning. After finishing the negotiation, Si Luo said hello to the two older sisters, then followed Amber to leave the Knights' headquarters and head to the branch of the Adventurer's Association in Mondstadt.
"Toward the stars and the abyss, welcome to the Adventurers Association."
In front of a building not far from the gate of Mondstadt, a girl with black hair and blue eyes stood quietly behind the front desk, looking at the people who were approaching, and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Miss Catherine, the two of them want to register as adventurers."
Amber quickly pushed Si Luo and Ying in front of her.
There is no deposit required to register as an adventurer. Apart from the need to test one's strength, strictly speaking anyone can register.
After logging in the information in less than a few minutes, Si Luo and Ying received the adventurer badges symbolizing the lowest level. When they were about to find a place to celebrate, a faint fragrance suddenly wafted from a building not far away, attracting the attention of Paimon, the greedy pet.
"Amber, what is that store?"
Paimon quickly flew to Amber's side and asked curiously.
"There? Oh... that's the Cat's Tail Tavern, a favorite place for adventurers."
"You guys wanna go get a drink?"
Mondstadt's dandelion wine is a very famous wine, known for its low alcohol content and fruity aroma. Therefore, the restrictions on drinking here are very low. Even for a girl as petite as Paimon, no one would refuse to sell her wine.
Chapter 20: Drunk and infatuated, cat-eared loli (58/)
"Well…"
Paimon was obviously tempted, but she did not answer directly. Instead, she turned her head to look at her two breadwinners and asked for their opinions.
"This tastes pretty good, what do you think, Si Luo?"
Ying sniffed the faint aroma of wine in the air, and then looked at her close companion who was holding her fingers.
To be honest, the two of them are in a relationship where they can sleep in the same bed, and in the eyes of others, they are undoubtedly a couple, but they haven't broken the final piece of paper yet.
It can only be said that Ying still does not have much sense of crisis. After all, so far, besides herself, the only person who has been with Si Luo is Paimon, a too small pocket loli, who will not be her competitor no matter how you look at it.
"I have no problem... But be careful not to get drunk."
Si Luo responded quite casually. He didn't have any taboos in this regard. Moreover, when he was in the box garden, the Great Saint Sister would often send him some monkey wine from Huaguo Mountain. The wine made from the fruits grown in the blessed land was much stronger than these ordinary fruits in terms of alcohol content.
"Great!!"
Paimon cheered immediately, pulling Amber's clothes and walking towards the Cat's Tail Tavern.
...
"welcome!"
Probably because of the influence of the dragon disaster, when Si Luo and the others pushed open the door and entered the Cat's Tail Tavern, there were no customers inside. There was only a blonde older sister reading a book at the front desk. When she heard the bell ringing at the door, she instantly put on a business-like smile.
"Hmm? Amber, why are you here?"
However, when she noticed Amber, the older sister's expression paused for a moment, and then her smile became much more genuine.
With Amber's angelic personality, it goes without saying that she is very popular in Mondstadt. Basically no one has a negative impression of her.
"Long time no see, Miss Margaret."
Little angel Amber greeted her happily, and at the same time turned sideways to reveal Si Luo and others behind her.
"Today I brought my friends here to taste Mond's wine."
"I see... Then you've come to the right place. Little Diona is here today too~"
Margaret's eyes stayed on Si Luo for a long while before she chuckled and motioned for them to find a table and sit down.
For this older sister who has been single and longing for a partner, Si Luo's lethality can even be described as destructive. If Amber and the others were not with her, Margaret would have considered getting him drunk and then making the matter a fait accompli.
"Is little Dionna here too?! That's great!"
Amber also showed a look of surprise. She took Si Luo and the others to sit near the window and began to explain to them.
"Diona is a talented bartender that Cat's Tail Tavern has just hired. It is said that everyone who drinks the drinks she mixes will be conquered by the taste!"
"But Diona hates drunkards the most, so her working hours are not fixed. I didn't expect to be so lucky today!"
"Is that so? I am really looking forward to it."
Si Luo chuckled and nodded. Looking at Paimon who was sitting on the table in front of him and began to shake her little feet, he couldn't help but reach out and poke her cheek.
Paimon also cooperated very well and bit his finger. Then, under the gaze of Ying and Amber, he made a meaningful move that only the two of them understood.
It can only be said that this small cup is becoming more and more attractive. Feeling the strangeness coming from his fingers, Si Luo's body is becoming honest at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The dragon disaster has just passed and they are already eager to come drink! They must be a bunch of drunkards again! I don't want to mix drinks for them!"
At this moment, a very crisp loli voice suddenly came from the room behind the tavern, which made Si Luo, who was teasing Paimon, instantly activate the loli radar and concluded that this little loli must be very cute.
"Um... Is it Amber? I see..."
After being persuaded by Margaret for a long time, the little Loli finally agreed when she heard Amber's name, and then walked out from the back.
"..."
The pink hair and the pigtails on her forehead make the little girl have a high forehead, but combined with her already extremely delicate face, she looks even more adorable.
Of course, what attracted their attention even more was the little girl's two cute furry cat ears and the little tail swaying gently behind her.
That’s right, this is a little loli with cat ears!
"So cute! As expected of a cat-ear tavern!!"
Ying had no resistance to this cute little loli and showed a look of great fondness for her. Her beautiful eyes moved slightly, as if she was considering how to raise such a cute cat-eared loli at home.
"Humph! If it weren't for Sister Amber, I wouldn't mix drinks for you drunkards!"
The little girl was slightly stunned by the outstanding appearance of the few people, which was different from what she expected, but Diona soon calmed down, crossed her chest and spoke with an unhappy look on her face.
It's a pity that her appearance is so cute that words like this not only did not cause any harm to Si Luo and the others, but even made her more cute in their eyes.
"How rude, Diona. Si Luo and the others are not drunkards. They are just travelers who have just arrived in Mondstadt, so they want to try the special wine here."
"Eh?"
The little Lolita, who had a proud look on her face before, was stunned for a moment, and her domineering aura suddenly dropped.
"Is...is that so?"
"Yes, and they were the ones who solved the dragon disaster yesterday, so Si Luo is also our benefactor~"
Amber continued.
She was not bullying Diona, but she was worried that her behavior just now would cause Si Luo and the others to misunderstand her, so she planned to let her clear up these misunderstandings.
"..."
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Diona's expression suddenly wilted, and her two pink cat ears also fell down along with her owner's mood.
"Yes...I'm sorry..."
After hesitating for a few seconds, the little loli raised her head again and looked at Si Luo, speaking weakly.
"It doesn't matter. After all, we didn't know each other before."
Because he was sitting close to the aisle, Si Luo simply stretched out his hand and placed it on Diona's little head, cheating by using his special attack skill of patting the head to kill the little loli.
"My name is Si Luo, please give me your guidance today, Diona."
"Um…"
Although it was the first time that a member of the opposite sex touched her head, Diona inexplicably felt a sense of relief and comfort. The faint fragrance coming from Si Luo was different from the alcohol-smelling adults she usually saw, and this cute little cat-eared loli was almost instantly addicted to it.
"Mr. Si Luo is so gentle~"
Margaret, who had been paying attention to this side, came over with a large wine glass. Looking at the interaction between Si Luo and Diona, she couldn't help but chuckle and spoke.
"Well…"
Diona finally came to her senses, and after escaping from him with a slightly red cheek, her two cat ears trembled slightly, and she ran towards the wine cabinet next to her in a panic.
"I...I'm going to make drinks!"
...
Just as Amber said, Diona's cocktail-mixing skills are indeed very good, and basically every cup has a taste that makes people linger - no wonder, under Si Luo's deliberate attention, he discovered that there is a blessing on this little loli.
Just like the protection he bestowed on the girls, the blessing on Diona would make any wine she mixed extremely delicious.
However, since it was not a harmful blessing, Si Luo did not dispel it. After leaving his blessings on her and Margaret as usual, he enjoyed this leisurely afternoon with a comfortable expression.
I don’t know if it was because she wanted to communicate with him more, but after Si Luo and the others started drinking, Margaret closed the shop door directly, and then came to them with Diona and joined their drinking party.
And with Margaret, a big sister who has been dealing with wine for many years, the atmosphere soon became more lively.
However, although Mond's wine was of low alcohol content, Ying and the others rarely came into contact with it. Therefore, as the girls drank one glass after another, the accumulated alcohol gradually made them dizzy.
Amber was the first cute girl who couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on the table. Ying, on the other hand, held on for a while longer and then leaned against the wall as if she was drunk and took a nap with her eyes closed.
Although Paimon did not get drunk, when he was halfway through drinking, the greedy little loli found an excuse and got into Si Luo's clothes while the girls were not paying attention. Then she licked the lollipop with her little tongue and squeezed out her favorite milk.
"Hmm...Brother Si Luo, does the drink I made taste okay?"
Diona, who had never touched alcohol before, followed the atmosphere and drank a small glass of alcohol at the urging of Ying and the others. Surprisingly, she was drunk after just one glass. She bent her body and stretched out in a very cute way like a cat, then went straight into Si Luo's arms, lay on his legs, and looked at him with her little head raised.
“Mm, very delicious.”
Si Luo responded with a chuckle, looking at the cute little kitten in his arms, he couldn't help but put his hand on Diona's chin and gently scratched it as if teasing a cat.
"Meow~"
Under his extremely skillful technique, Diona sang an extremely lovely voice, her light and petite body swayed gently, and a hint of love gradually appeared in her eyes.
Under the influence of alcohol and driven by her affection for Si Luo, Diona was influenced by her own race for the first time in her life and had the most primitive reaction.
The consequence of this was that the little girl lying on his legs unconsciously raised her body and swayed gently as if she was seeking the opposite sex.
"..."
Si Luo, who was watching this scene, responded very honestly with his body. Si Luo, who was about to ask Paimon for help, was attracted by Diona and unconsciously put his other hand on her body and patted her gently.
And as he clapped her hands, Diona's singing became more and more pleasant.
"Um... Si Luo..."
At this time, Margaret, who had also drunk a lot of wine, also noticed his actions. After the mature elder sister confirmed that Diona was not forced, she spoke incoherently.
"Although... Diona is not a child anymore... but it is a bit too rude to do this to a girl when you first meet her..."
Although Diona was petite, she was of legal age, otherwise she would not have hired her to work in her tavern. Therefore, as they were both willing, Margaret did not deliberately prevent her from getting close to Si Luo.
"Really? But I think Diona likes it very much~"
Si Luo responded with a chuckle, looking at the cat-eared loli hunched over his legs, a dangerous look gradually flashing in his eyes.
