Chapter 184

Mondstadt was the complete opposite.

On both sides of the street, various shops stood.

The vendors were enthusiastic.

Exquisite handicrafts, delicious snacks, dazzling to the eyes.

"Do you like it here?"

Lu Shu smiled slightly.

For Ayaka, having stayed in the oppressive Inazuma since childhood, suddenly coming to a place wrapped in an atmosphere of freedom, she was naturally very happy.

"Mm."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded and smiled.

"It's just, very strange, Mondstadt has a sense of laziness."

"Look over there."

Following the direction of Kamisato Ayaka's finger, the girls looked.

They were stunned to find a fat knight in armor standing in a very hidden and remote grassy shade on the left side of the city gate.

Looking like he was leisurely watching the 'boyfriend and girlfriend' chatting nearby.

"You misunderstood."

"I bet he must be hiding in the dark, observing suspicious people."

"That's a very dedicated and excellent employee."

Lu Shu said (￣ˇ￣)/.

Are you serious?

The girls were all dazed, with expressions like they were looking at a fool; even Kirara wasn't fooled this time.

"That's clearly slacking off, alright."

Lu Shu naturally knew.

That guy was named Bruce, and he was indeed slacking off.

He was actually trying to be shy, shy, toward a certain elemental spirit hiding in the wind.

Sure enough.

Venti's old face turned red.

Just arrived in Mondstadt, and this unsightly scene was discovered.

He immediately danced the Anemo element, giving Bruce a slap.

Accompanied by an 'ouch', the fat knight fell into the lawn...

"Giggle~"

The girls didn't realize it.

They just thought that the lazy, fat knight had actually managed to trip himself while standing.

Too stupid.

Conversely, the pair of 'boyfriend and girlfriend' the knight was watching seemed very interesting.

Male: "It's you again, don't tell me you're going to drag me to give a discount again?"

Female: "Don't even mention fruit, even for fruit wine, for the sake of our childhood friendship, can't you give me a discount?"

Male: "I've said many times, fruit is not discounted. And I'm just helping the fruit wine stall deliver raw materials, how can I force them to give a discount!"

Female: "Oh, help me out!"

Female: "I know you love drinking fruit wine, after I buy it, I'll give you some, and then help you make some appetizers, can you give a discount?"

Male: "No matter what you say, there's no discount!"

Good grief.

Aren't these Beatrice and Quinn?

He had taken the quest back then to help match them up.

Pity, this 'Quinn' seemed to be missing something?

A total blockhead.

"I bet that girl definitely likes that guy."

Kamisato Ayaka covered her mouth and laughed.

"It's obvious, 'discounts' and such aren't important, her goal is to invite that guy to her home as a guest."

Lumine saw it at a glance.

"Pity, that guy is a blockhead."

Paimon crossed her arms, looking completely speechless.

The girl clearly wanted to invite the guy as a guest, but the guy was acting like a 213, still obsessing over 'discounts'.

Looking at the girl's clothes, one could tell she wasn't short on money.

Would she care about so-called discounts?

The group continued walking forward.

Looking left and right.

"I don't know why, but I just feel Mondstadt has a strange feeling."

Kamisato Ayaka sighed.

(Venti: Strange, where is it strange? My Mondstadt is so good.)

"That's because, I'll tell you a secret."

Lu Shu smiled mysteriously.

"What secret?"

Kamisato Ayaka's eyes lit up.

"Look, Liyue is inhabited by Liyue people."

"Inazuma is inhabited by Inazuma people."

"Sumeru is inhabited by Sumeru people."

"But this Mondstadt, half of them aren't Mondstadt people."

"Klee's mother came from another world, and because traveling Teyvat wasn't convenient, she threw Klee in Mondstadt."

(Venti: Threw? Uh, well, it seems it was indeed throwing.)

"Then, Klee's brother Albedo, strictly speaking, he's Khaenri'ahn."

"Then Mona, uh, never mind Mona..."

(Venti: What do you mean never mind, and who is Mona?)

"Cavalry Captain Kaeya, who has no horse, is a genuine Khaenri'ahn."

(Venti: What the hell is no horse?)

"And Outrider Amber, her grandfather was from Liyue, and after being saved, he stayed in Mondstadt."

"Seems there are a few others with unknown identities."

"Bennett, an orphan, picked up by an old adventurer, looks very much like a Natlan person."

"Rosaria, an orphan, raised by Treasure Hoarders, anyway not a Mondstadt person."

"Razor, an orphan, raised by wolves."

(Venti: This guy knows Mondstadt like the back of his hand?)

"And finally, finally, there's one born and bred here, yet about to be expelled from Mondstadt citizenship!"

Saying this, Lu Shu put his hands on his hips.

Proudly lifting his nose.

(￣ˇ￣)/

"I'll remember this grudge!"

('Achoo'! A certain Wave-Swept Knight who had just returned home and put the maid to bed sneezed inexplicably!)

"Mm, this tone is learned quite well!"

Amidst the clapping sounds, a man with deep skin and an eyepatch walked up.

"You all look like new faces, first time in Mondstadt?"

As Cavalry Captain, Kaeya actually had another duty, captain of defense and public order, so he spent all day wandering around the city when he had nothing to do. ===== CHAPTER 185 =====
