Chapter 941

This is what the Lady would do in the game's storyline; Scaramouche is only acting as a stand-in.

However, because of the comic shop's intrusion, the Lady is still in Mondstadt.

But after going around in circles, the person in charge ended up being Scaramouche.

One can only say,

some things were bound to happen.

"Set it aside, Lord Scaramouche — our people have already gone over to make preparations."

The ringleader said in a low voice.

"Then nothing could be more fitting!"

Scaramouche nodded slowly.

As for the side effects the Delusion might bring.

Heh, in this floating world, human lives are no better than weeds.

Without the Delusions, those rebels would die just the same.

At the very least, the Delusion still gives them a chance to fulfill a wish.

If the Scaramouche of the beginning might still have felt some guilt,

but now, he carries not a shred of psychological burden.

"Inazuma City — it's been a long time since I went back. Just the thing to take a look!"

Scaramouche adjusted the kasa on his head, a trace of unreadable meaning glinting in his eyes.

……

Worry-Dispelling Bookshop.

At that moment, a cute cat-eared girl walked into the shop.

But it wasn't Lady Keqing,

it was Diona from the Cat's Tail tavern.

Upon seeing Han Feng behind the counter, her eyes lit up and she ran over happily.

"Boss, I'm here to read manga~ 〃!"

"Welcome. How's the chewing wine from last time?"

Han Feng asked with a smile.

Little Paimon had mentioned before that the drink had been well received by the shop's customers back then.

But after so long, he didn't know exactly how things stood now.

"It's been insanely popular — I really can't figure out what those grown-ups are thinking."

Speaking of this, Diona let out a deep sigh.

When the chewing wine had first launched, she'd been delighted by everyone's fondness for it, thinking they were just after something new.

She'd expected the buzz to die down in a couple of days.

Who knew it wouldn't quiet down at all — instead, as customers spread the word, its fame only grew.

Now the Cat's Tail tavern is packed with customers every day, business booming beyond belief.

It's just pitiful for the cats in the shop.

They've been drooled dry.

It scared Diona so badly she fled out the door.

If this kept up, she'd probably have to take the field herself.

"The great cause of destroying Mondstadt's alcohol industry is a long and arduous road — take it slow!"

Han Feng encouraged her with a smile.

You can't really blame Diona for this!

Who could have guessed that kind of wine would be a hit too!

No matter how good it tastes, people are sipping saliva!

And it's cat saliva, no less.

One can only say the palates of Mondstadt's people are a bit special.

"Yeah!"

Diona sighed.

But then something seemed to occur to her, and she raised her head to carefully peer around behind the counter.

"Are you looking for something?"

Watching the cautious Diona, Han Feng took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Boss, where's that purple cat from before?"

Diona asked curiously.

The first time she'd come, she'd seen a cat with no dignity at all!

Snuggling so comfortably in the boss's arms!

It had made her quite envious.

But why wasn't she here this time?

"That cat had something to do and hasn't come by for now. What — you want to be friends with her?"

Han Feng teased.

"N-no… I just…"

Seeing the boss's look, Diona put one hand behind her back and scratched her head with the other,
