Eula: Me too
Venti: I think pretty much everyone has heard of the series
Venti: I especially love the ballad version
Albedo: I find it slightly odd that none of the characters are named but yes I agree it is one of the most phenomenal pieces of literature out there
Bennett: My dads used to read that me as bedtime stories and man did it really fire up the spirit of an adventurer in me
Fischl: Thine own Princessine agrees with all of you for her regalness herself was enthralled by the intricacies of the narrative and the anonymity of the heroes as well as the spectacular depictions of heroes battling against horrendous beats and mighty foes
Oz: She means to say she loves the book too especially the fact that the heroes names are kept a secret and all the cool fighting scenes
Aether: Honestly mood
Razor: Story?
Lisa: Oh Razor my boy!! You are hear too!!
Razor: teacher lisa
Razor: Hello

Mona: Is this a bad time to say I have never read TTAAT

Aether: JeanLisa: Parenting done right
Lumine: All hail JeanLisa parent troupe
Jean: JeanLisa? Why is there no space between our names

Zhongli: Childe? Are you okay? Did I say something wrong perhaps?
Childe: Oh no no not at all
Childe: I am just a bit too happy u worry so much abt me
Zhongli: Of course you matter a lot to me
Childe: Ajajsdidjjdjejdidiejeheh Zhongli watch me win this fight just for ur sake
Zhongli: I would be just happy watching you come out not too injured but I appreciate you wanting to win the duel for me as well Child
Childe: Ohmygod now I am even more determined to win this
Hu Tao: Boo
Hu Tao: Go be gay in the dms u disgusting adults
Zhongli: Don't worry Hu Tao I an sure Yanfei would appreciate your company just like how I appreciate Childe's

Yanfei: I am sorry?? Yantao???
Chongyun: Oh sorry do u prefer Hufei?
Hu Tao: CHONGYUN WHERE DID U LEARN TI BE THIS SNAEKY FROM
Xingqiu: Ahem are u forgetting who dear Chongyun's boyfriend is
Chongyun: Rstzugfjjbu u don't have to emphasize it like that Xingqiu
Xingqiu: Just establishing my claim over ;)
Chongyun: OHMYGOD
Hu Tao: ugh gays
Xiangling: ahem
Xiangling: Just popping in to remind everyone that the Childe vs Beidou duel is starting in a few moments and many are already here to watch and wow Aether is sweating buckets while Zhongli is calmly discussing with Ningguang what I think are countermeasures to the agreement if Childe loses and is that Kazuha tied up in a corner with his mouth gagged my man looks so terrified and confused I feel almost bad for him
Xiangling: For those curious Lumine and Xiao are here too and tied up and gagged right next to Kazuha, Lumine just looks done with everything and probably wants to jump off a building the first chance she gets while Xiao looks scary af and I am hundred per cent sure he will bite anyone who approaches him
Yanfei: Thank you for the extremely detailed and perfectly accurate summary Xiangling
Xingqiu: Wait this is good writing material I am coming to watch
Yanfei: …..how exactly
Yanfei: ……is it good writing material?
Xingqiu: a happily married lesbian couple has their only son taken away from their home and so they both embark on a long journey to find their son and beat the shit out of the ginger gay who kidnapped him who also happens to have a side romance with a weirdly knowledgeable but also handsome funeral consultant
Xinyan: Love the fact that tho this all started with lumine and Xiao they are not mentioned once in Xingqiu's story summary
Childe: why wont any of u just use my name
Xingqiu: cause u are the only foreigner here?
Childe: Aether and Lumine are literally right there
Xingqiu: they are an exception everyone knows that u dumb ginger
Childe: …..
Beidou: U coming to fight or not gay boy I don't got all day
Childe: Oh I am ready let's make this the most memorable fight of our lives
Beidou: HAH
Beidou: Now thats good enthusiasm right there I almost thought of going easy on u
Childe: Don't insult me like that
Beidou: I won't I am giving it my all so u better too
Childe: Of course comrade

Childe created group chat [New Group Chat]
Childe added Aether, Ayaka, Itto, Kokomi, Lumine and Others to the group chat [New Group Chat]
Childe changed the group chat name to [Inazuman Comrades]
Kazuha: I am having a lot of mixed feelings abt the fact that i was just added into a groupchat by my kidnapper
Yoimiya: I just know that there is a very interesting story behind that and I wanna know it
Aether: Basically childe went and kidnapped Kazuha to provoke beidou and ningguang and have a duel with beidou
Kokomi: Ohmygod
Kujo Sara: What an absolute madman what happened next
Aether: it ended in a draw and both of them pretty beat up
Aether: they wanted to continue but luckily zhongli and ningguang stopped them and agreed to just release kazuha and lumine and Xiao and now beidou and childe are regular fighting buddies cause apparently their near death fight was very 'fun"
Kokomi: Fun-
Kujo Sara: I am not even gonna comment
Gorou: Wait what's the deal with lumine and Xiao
Childe: Aether how could u forget to mention the fact that the reason the whole thing happened was because i was being a good frnd and trying to get ur sister and boyfriend back from ningguang's evil clutches after she kidnapped them
Aether: XIAO IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND

Aether: I should have left u with ningguang
Lumine: Xiao respects me too much to let that happen

Kazuha: My moms are from liyue watch ur mouth
Gorou: weren't u literally complaining like yesterday that two powerful liyuen lesbians have suddenly adopted u and arent letting u go and how u wished u hadn't chosen this place
Kazuha: that was before I got kidnapped and got rescued by them and realised the importance of family

Ayaka: Sorry was it something I said?
Childe: I think it was ur presence as a whole
Aether: Childe if u don't SHUT THE FUCK UP
Aether: That was Lumine btw
Aether: She has something else to say as well
Aether: Ayaka I just want you to know that it was not ur fault at all and my hands just got kinda slippery because I was eating Xiangling's new slime dish and so my phone slipped and fell off the balcony so yeah -Lumine
Ayaka: Oh
Ayaka: That is sad, Lumine I hope u get it fixed as soon as possible
Aether: i will thanks -Lumine
Ayaka: :)
Aether: Oh well there goes my sister having another one of her gay panic attacks
Kujo Sara: I am sorry but are we just gonna ignore the fact that there's someone out there cooking food with slime and that Lumine eats that??
Ayaka: Ah Lumine told me about her she's a pretty famous chef in Liyue apparently and her slime dishes are not that bad as long as it's desserts
Kujo Sara: I think I am traumatized
Itto: I mean I would try a slime dish
Itto: Sounds kinda yummy
Yoimiya: Me too
Aether: Y'all can drop by the cooking club anytime to try Xiangling's dishes
Aether: I am sure she would love to have more test subjects
Yoimiya: Test subjects?
Aether: Taste testers*
Kazuha: …….how suspicious
Aether: You just have too many trust issues after your friend died and u got kidnapped by a foreigner so now the only ppl u openly trust are ur moms
Kazuha: Hm makes sense ig
Kazuha's Friend: I am not dead tho???
Kazuha's Friend: And I do have a name tf
Kazuha: You know sometimes I can still hear his voice
Kazuha's Friend: KAZU PLEASE
Kazuha: Ah I hope he is resting in peace
Kazuha's Friend: CAN U AT LEAST CHANGE MY NAME BACK TO ORIGINAL
Aether: Y'all hear smth?
Ei: What…..is this
Paimon: Paimon forgot that Inazuma has its own boomer like how Liyue has Zhongli
Yae Miko: Don't go around calling my girlfriend a boomer tf
Yae Miko: I mean she definitely is one but still
Yae Miko: No one is allowed to tease her except me
Paimon: Eh?
Paimon: Paimon is confused but okay
Aether: Lmao Lumine is so desperate she literally fished out her laptop to text
Lumine: One more word out of ur mouth and I won't be the only one with a broken phone
Aether: U are so mean to me TT
Lumine: The urge to say the word but Paimon will probably hunt me down
Yoimiya: OwO
Yoimiya: Which word
Aether: Do u know Venti from the music club?
Yoimiya: The senior who apparently has god tier music skills but always plays off key just to piss the teachers off?
Lumine: Yea him
Aether: 'The word' in question is his signature line
Yoimiya: +O+
Yoimiya: And what exactly is it
Lumine: Well I just bought Paimon a bunch of food to get her off my back for saying that word so don't expect me to say it again
Aether: ^^^^ the very reason I won't say it either
Yoimiya: =.=
Yoimiya: @Ei do u happen to know a Venti
Ei: Oh god him
Yoimiya: So u do know him :D
Ei: What about him?
Yoimiya: So what's his signature line?
Aether: Ei don't do it
Ei: Ehe?
Yoimiya: Ehe? That's his signature line?
Ei: I think so
Paimon:
Lumine: Oh no
Paimon: EHE?
Paimon: EHE??????????
Yoimiya: Wait what what's happening
Paimon: PAIMON IS OUT FOR UR BLOOD

Ayato: Cool :)
Lumine: :)
Itto: I may be dumb but i also kinda think I am missing something in this interaction
Aether: Don't worry abt it it's just ayato subtly threatening lumine while lumine subtly respons back with 'try me, bitch'
Lumine: Hey now Aether it's nothing like that
Lumine: Ayato and I are besties, right @Ayato
Ayato: Of course I have definitely never thought of poisoning u or keeping u as far away from my sister as possible I swear
Lumine: Don't worry Ayato I trust u :)

Scaramouche: JUSY U WATCH I WILL TAKE MY REVENGE
Lumine: Awww by crying to ur mommies abt how a kid younger than u but also taller than bullied wittle scawamouche?
Itto: I just know that I cannot have the type of courage that Lumine has cause I would never dream of riling up someone like Scaramouche
Ei: He's actually a lot nicer once u get to know him
Scaramouche: NO I AM NOT FUCK OFF
Yae Miko: Kunikuzushi be respectful to ur mother

Kokomi: B-but how??
Lumine: Well in theory at least
Scaramouche: NO FUCK U
Kazuha: But what exactly is the relationship between Scaramouche and Ei I won't sleep peacefully until I know
Yae Miko: Let me give u a hint, Kunikuzushi is a lot older than he looks and not a human
Yoimiya: I am sorry NOT a human?
Aether: Yoimiya why are u surprised abt that we literally have so many non humans on the campus
Aether: Lumi and I are literally from another world
Yoimiya: B-but
Lumine: You broke her Miko

Yae Miko: Oh well Kunikuzushi has been typing for so long I wonder why
Scaramouche: VIXEN I AM COMING FOR U

Kokomi: OHMYGOD
Yoimiya: I did NOT need to see that
Lumine: LMAO U GO YAE DESTROY HIM
Aether: Isn't he ur inazuman bestie aren't u supposed to be on his side
Lumine: Aether that's not how besties work
Lumine: sometimes it's just fun watching them suffer
Gorou: Lumine genuinely terrifies me sometimes
Itto: SOMETIMES? SHE IS LITERALLY ON THE TOP OF MY LIST OF PPL TO NOT PISS OFF
Kazuha: For those wondering why Scaramouche hasn't replied yet
Kazuha: [attachment.jpg]
Ei: ah that's the fourth phone he has smashed out of anger this month
Ei: You should really stop riling him up so much Miko we might be rich but it's still a waste of money to buy him a new phone every time
Yae Miko: I* am rich
Yae Miko: Don't worry Ei my money won't be getting over anytime soon so I can pay for a new phone without worries
Ei: ……
Aether: Lmao another broke boomer with a glucose guardian
Yae Miko: please just say sugar mommy the phrase u used makes me so uncomfortable
Lumine: and that's coming from Yae miko of all ppl
Childe: Oh no Lumine I am so sorry Lumine I am busy this Saturday so I won't be able to join u to watch the movie

Lumine: Childe what
Childe: Oh but I can't let these two tickets go to waste
Childe: Would someone like to accompany my Comrade to watch this amazing movie maybe @Ayaka since u have been working so hard in the club rooms u deserve it
Lumine: HUH?????
Childe: Lumine istg don't ruin it just shut up until it's done
Childe: @Aether I will pay for your lunch if u confiscate her laptop
Aether: On it
Ayato: That's a nice offer Childe but my sister is perfectly alright and doesn't prefer taking breaks by going out
Childe: Stfu Ayato I wasn't talking to u
Ayato: Well since it's MY sister in question I think I get to have a say
Childe: @Ayaka what do you say
Yoimiya: Lmao not childe just casually ignoring Ayato
Ayaka: I am here did someone ask for me?
Ayaka: Oh
Ayato: Tell them that u don't need it Ayaka ur brother will get u better tickets for ur favourite play instead
Childe: AS IT HAPPENS I ALSO HAVE EXTRA TICKETS TO UR FAVOURITE PLAY THUS SATURDAY AYAKA WHAT DO U SAY I AM SURE LUMINE WOULD APPRECIATE SOME COMPANY
Ayaka: My favourite play is on Sunday
Ayato: See what I mean, Ayaka? That's why don't go with others
Childe: did I say Saturday excuse me i meant Sunday u see I saw this poster and got a bit confused
Yoimiya: Why do u have the tickets to Ayaka's favourite play?
Childe: Can someone please shut Yoimiya up I am trying to score my Comrade a date here
Kujo Sara: Shinobu is on it
Ayato: See Ayaka? So suspicious, that's why don't go with them, Your brother can get u whatever u want
Ayaka: Um
Childe: my God there was a reason why I hated Ayato the moment I saw him
Childe: Don't think too much abt it Ayaka, lumine recommended this play to see and i just wanted to check it out with her but then my parents are out this weekend so I gotta babysit my siblings but I don't wanna let the tickets go to waste or make my Comrade go alone so please just accept the offer
Ayaka: Oh but don't you want to go on the date with Lumine since you got the tickets for her
Childe:
Childe: MY FUCKING GOD
Childe: AYAKA I AM GAY
Ayaka: Oh
Ayaka: I always thought
Ayaka: You know because you and Lumine seemed like good friends
Ayato: Wow okay even I am speechless at your train of thinking Ayaka
Thoma: My lady don't tell me you
Thoma: God
Childe: PLEASE DONT TELL ME U THOUGHT EITHER OF US WAS STRAIGHT I WILL CRY
Ayaka: Um
Ayaka: Wait so Lumine isn't straight
Ayato: I see
Ayato: So from the start my interference wasn't needed at all
Kokomi: I am literally crying
Ei: Is this what is called 'dense af' as Miko says about the past me?
Yae Miko: Yes Ei it is
Ei: Oh
Ei: Poor Lumine
Childe: Ayaka did u not
Childe: Did u not see the text abt the type of person Lumine likes
Ayaka: I did that's why I was a bit confused since u are neither short not have hair like starlight
Childe: Ayaka have u ever seen a mirror
Ayaka: ???
Ayaka: I have but why do u ask
Itto: Yk ppl call me dumb but even I can see what's up
Ayato: My little sister is dumber than Itto I will never get over this
Ayaka: Can someone please tell me what's going on
Aether: Yeah ig I gotta keep running from Lumine for another hour now
Childe: Ayaka just accept the tickets and go on a date with Lumine that will be a big favor to all of us please just do it
Kazuha: Man's literally so desperate and it's not even himself he's trying to score a date for
Ayato: On second thoughts
Ayato: Maybe u shld just agree Ayaka
Ayato: Now even I feel a bit sympathetic for Lumine
Thoma: wow even my lord who was most opposed to this relationship
Thoma: Do it my lady
Gorou: please just agree
Kokomi: please ayaka
Yae Miko: It would save us so much trouble because we all know u want to go on a date with lumine too
Ayaka: Wait no I
Ayaka: Um actually I do
Ayaka: so I think I will?
Kuki Shinobu: Fucking finally
Ayaka: Thanks guys I would have never had the courage without all of u encouraging me
Ei: Just don't be dense af again
Ayaka: I will try not to be
Yae Miko: Ei please stop texting like a boomer I beg
Ayato: It's just one date it's just one date it's just one date and there's still poison
Ayato: Oops that was supposed to be a private msg to Thoma
Ayato: Please ignore
Thoma: My lord what the fuck
Kujo Sara: I wish u luck on ur date Ayaka
Gorou: We all do
Ayaka: thank you guys :)
Aether: Ooookay
Aether: Now that I an sure that lumine will be catching up to me in exactly five minutes
Aether: I will go ahead and do everyone a favor and clear the chat
Ayaka: Thanks Aether
Aether: It's the least I can do as ur future brother in law
Ayaka: HUH???
Ayato: I take back my words where did I put my sword
Thoma: MY LORD PLEASE
[The chat has been cleared]
Notes:
Absolutely obsessed with the idea that Lumine and Childe are those type of besties where on keeps trying to set other up with their crush and the other just wants to murder them
Also yeah I have no idea what timeline this is set in or where the plot is going to so u are free to think of it whatever u will
I will upload more chapters after I gather enough fates to wish again on Venti's banner because I lost my 50/50 to Jean(😃) and I still have my finals going on and very less time so wish me luck I need it for both my exams and my 50/50
As always thanks a lot for reading!
Chapter 4: Team Liyue Or Team Mondstadt?
Summary:
The answer is Team Inazuma
Notes:
HI YES I AM BACK BECAUSE I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET VENTI AT 63 PITY WITH LIKE 3 DAYS LEFT FOR HIS BANNER TO END I AM SO HAPPY
On the other side, I actually used up a lot of his farmed materials for others because I had given up hope so I had to go farm again but at least now he's at 70??? I also hit ar55 and realised that I have no social life whatsoever 💀
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Amber: Have fun on ur date ^-^
Ayaka: We will, thank you Amber.
Lisa: Okay but the fact that Childe had to ask out Ayaka for Lumine is still infinitely hilarious
Jean: Ikr like even we were not that bad
Diluc: :)
Kaeya: I just felt a chill down my spine
Jean: OH NO
Jean: DILUC PLEASE NO I BEG U
Aether: You know shits abt to go down when it's Diluc who sends the :)
Diluc: so before Jean and Lisa got together
Jean: DILUC FOR THE SAKE OF OUR AGE OLD FRIENDSHIP PLEASE SPARE ME
Kaeya: Oh this is getting interesting
Lumine: We are all waiting Master Diluc
Xingqiu: I see potential writing content lemme just get my notepad real quick
Barbara: are we finally gonna know the backstory to the JeanLisa story
Diluc: Yes Barbara u are
Jean: Diluc why
Diluc: Because of all the disgusting PDA u two showered on me the other day
Jean: the one on the groupchat
Diluc: I tolerated that somehow but did u forget our studying session later that day when Lisa tagged along with u
Jean: .....oh
Jean: That
Jean: Um…..sorry?
Barbara: Jean what did u do
Jean: Nothing
Lisa: Don't lie darling~
Diluc: We were in the cafe and there was this one guy hitting on Lisa and aggressively flirting with her
Amber: Man's had already chosen death smh
Diluc: So the first few seconds pass by without anything happening
Diluc: And then when the guy starts approaching Lisa, something in Jean awakened
Diluc: She stood up, grabbed Lisa's chin and u can guess how the next whole minute went
Beidou: a WHOLE minute?
Beidou: Now that deserves respect
Yae Miko: Ei why don't u ever do that to me
Ei: Grab ur chin for a whole minute?
Ei: Why?
Yae Miko: ….
Yae Miko: Why do I even bother with u
Jean: I SAID I AM SORRY I DONT KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME IN THAT MINUTE
Lisa: Oh don't apologize darling, I quite enjoyed it ;)
Diluc: Okay but that did not stop there
Diluc: the guy left like not even a second after Jean made her move
Diluc: But our lovely Jean here was not satisfied and went on to make out with Lisa every chance she got throughout the whole day whenever any stranger looked at Lisa
Diluc: We did not get any studying done and I gave up after they started making out in the library too while I was right there
Lumine: Oh my God I never thought Jean of all ppl would be the jealous type
Kaeya: Ifkr and lmao Diluc just suffering thru all of this
Jean: LOOK IT WAS JUST A FEW TIMES OKAY
Lisa: Ah what a lovely day that was~
Lisa: We had so much fun after reaching home
Jean: LISA PLEASE
Diluc: See? This is why I am gonna go ahead and expose how much of a loser u were while crushing on Lisa before I helped out
Venti: Master Diluc? Matchmaking JeanLisa? Now this is a story I have got to hear
Diluc: So everyone who went to the same highschool as me and Jean and Lisa would know that Jean used to be the president of Student Council and for those who don't, Jean used to be the president of the Student Council
Diluc; So it starts with our lovely president Jean going on her routine after school patrols dragging me along because 'company'
Jean: OHMYGOD DILUC I HATE U SO MUCH I CANT BELIEVE U ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MY BEST FRIEND
Diluc: And then she sees this new transfer student volunteering at the library
Diluc: And the first thing she does?
Lisa: Oooh this is getting interesting
Jean: AHHHHHHHHH I AM GONNA GO JUMP OFF A BUILDING BYE
Diluc: She makes a u-turn and when we are finally about 100 meters away from the library I realised something is off and look to Jean worried that she might be sick
Diluc: But before I could say anything, she just turns around and runs back to the library without a single word
Barbara: Wait what 😭
Jean: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Kaeya: She just…..ran back to the library?
Diluc: No listen
Diluc: She runs to the library, approaches Lisa
Lisa: Ohhh I remember this one
Diluc: And the first thing she says?
Diluc: 'Your dress code goes against the school rules'
Barbara: Jean????
Lumine: No but that sounds like typical Jean
Diluc: Right?? But no u are forgetting the fact that she said that when not even looking at Lisa and while also simultaneously blushing furiously
Diluc: And if u think Lisa was confused think abt me who saw all this shit go down
Xingqiu: No go back what even happened why did she run away in the first place 😭
Lumine: It's called ✨gay panic✨ xingqiu
Barbara: @Jean really??
Jean: LOOK IN MY DEFENSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I SAW SUCH A GORGEOUS WOMAN OKAY I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO
Lisa: Oh darling u are so sweet
Yanfei: I sympathize with u as far as freaking out over gorgeous women is considered but why did u go back to criticise her dress code like what was she wearing
Diluc: No everything was more or less right except this huge ass hat Lisa was wearing
Diluc: it was just an excuse to see her again
Jean: No I-
Jean: ….just wanted to say hi….
Lisa: Jean u are such a cutie come over here so I can properly reward u for ur hardwork back then
Jean: Lisa!!!
Barbara: Wait I dint know hats were against school rules
Amber: Tbh no one does I know they are cause I read the whole rulebook on joining the Student Council
Barbara: But venti used to wear a hat all the time??
Diluc: See? Exactly what I mean
Diluc: Hats are against school rules but no one actually knows that or don't care even if they do but Jean somehow remembered that minute detail just for a chance to talk to her crush
Diluc: It was so embarrassing
Lumine: We all believe in Jean the one true manifestation of ever lesbian's reaction to a potential girlfriend because I too would be running 100 meters away
Amber: she is the true face of embarrassing urself In front of ur crush I can relate
Diluc: the story is not over yet
Jean: can we please please spare the remaining lore for some other day please diluc I will do anything
Diluc: Okay then stop kaeya from drinking alcohol for 48 hrs if u manage that then I will forget abt the whole story
Jean: Kaeya????
Diluc: Wait u are right it's too easy
Diluc: Stop Kaeya and Venti from drinking any alcohol for 48 hours
Venti: WHAT
Venti: WHY
Venti: WHAT DID I EVER DO TO U MASTER DILUC
Diluc: Got my brother into drinking
Venti: THAT WAS HIS OWN DECISION I HAD NOTHINH TO DO WITH IT I SWEAR
Kaeya: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY JEAN IS THROWING OUT EVERYONE OF MY PRECIOUS WINE BOTTLES OUT THE WINDOW HOW DID SHE EVEN GET INTO MY ROOM HELP
Amber: Backread Kaeya
Kaeya: Okay
Kaeya: DILUC WHY
Kaeya: WHAT HAS URS AND JEAN'S ARGUMENT GOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME
Diluc: Die
Kaeya: JUST U WAIT I WILL GET U BACK FOR THIS
Kaeya: or to quote Eula, "VENGENCE SHALL BE MINE"
Eula: You dare plagiarise my lines? Mark my words, vengeance shall be mine
Kaeya: @Diluc what she said ^
Venti: Okay since Kaeya is getting raided first it means Jean's gonna come for me next excuse me while I go disappear off the face of the earth for another century
Gorou: I used to think that Liyuens are wild but the Mondstadters sound even wilder
Keqing: Don't compare us with those alcoholics we have class
Amber: Um excuse me?
Amber: At least we are not obsessed with money for no reason
Keqing: Obsessed??? Excuse you we just know how to handle our budget
Amber: OH? AT LEAST WE ALCOHOLICS KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN
Amber: NOT LIKE U LIYUENS ALWAYS SO WRAPPED UP IN WORK AND SO FULL OF URSELVES
Keqing: HOW DARE YOU
Keqing: DONT FORGET THAT IT IS OUR CITY WHERE U GET ALL THE MORA FROM
Amber: OH YEAH? WELL WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? STOP MINTING MONEY TO GET BACK AT US?
Yoimiya: Ladies please
Venti: Wait I got a good one
Jean: Venti don't
Venti: ehe
Venti: AT LEAST OUR DRAGONS LOOK LIKE ACTUAL DRAGONS AND NOT LIKE A LIZARD ZOOMING THRU THE SKY
Zhongli: Excuse me? The only difference is that the lizards on your land have wings and the dragons on our land don't need wings.
Venti: You really wanna do this, old man?
Zhongli: Bring it on bard.
Aether: Never thought I'd see the day when Zhongli of all ppl would be participating in an online discourse
Lumine: See? This is why Anemo and Geo have no reactions
Lumine: They just can't stand each other
Lumine: Why don't we just ask an outsider on which is the better nation?
Zhongli: That sounds like a reliable option, I trust your judgement, Lumine and Aether.
Venti: Yea ig me too
Aether: U are wrong she isn't talking abt us
Lumine: @Kujo Sara what do u think?
Aether: My sister isn't one for solving disputes she just likes to watch the world burn
Kujo Sara: What a ridiculous question, of course Inazuma is better than both
Kokomi: Babe no-
Aether: see what I mean
Keqing: Hey @Kujo Sara square up bitch I am coming to ur location rn
Amber: Wait for me I just gotta charge my pyro arrows
Keqing: Make sure you bring that explosive toy of urs too

Kujo Sara: In other words, come at me, bitch
Barbara: Did I see someone bad mouthing Mondstadt?
Barbara: :)
Barbara: Let me just swap out my current catalyst for the one that hurts the most
Beidou: This seems fun! I am joining too
Lumine: @Kujo Sara it's four against one u still not gonna back down?
Kujo Sara: I am ready to defend the honor of Inazuma at any time for any price
Kokomi: My God how can u be so smart and so fucking dumb at the same time
Kokomi: Excuse my language, anyways I have to go kidnap my girlfriend to hide her in a safe place before the foreign lesbians hunt her down so bye
Kujo Sara: Kokomi there's no need for that I can tx77d7euu3uruuyysygzdkdjdiifidkk

Kuki Shinobu: That was the lamest joke I have ever come across in my life
Amber: @Kokomi u can't hide her from us forever
Kokomi: We will see about that
Keqing: Oh its on then
Keqing: The Kujo Sara hunt is on
Aether: Smh Lumine look at what u did
Lumine: It's beautiful I have looked it for 5 hrs now
Ei: But the whole discourse only took place moments ago? How can you look at it for 5 hours?
Yae Miko: it's a meme Ei
Ei: What's a meme?
Yae Miko: My God
Ei: ???
Lumine: Isn't Ei younger than Zhongli and Venti how is it that they know what a meme is but she doesnt
Childe: Zhongli knows what a meme is???

Chapter 5: Jean looks upto WHO now
Notes:
Guess who's still alive???
I am sorry for the late update but my computer broke down and I have been stuck typing this all on phone TT
While it was somehow manageable to type the first few chapters on phone, anymore and my head hurts so writing this chapter took time. Hoping that my computer gets fixed soon so I can write better and longer chapters TT
Also thanks to @fruityyb for beta reading all my chapters ur the best hehe
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Xiao: Fuck.Off.
Childe: …
Childe: well that was uncalled for
Lumine: No u deserved it
Aether: ^^
Childe: Smh being backstabbed by my own Comrades no one can be trusted here
Zhongli: You can trust me, Childe.
Childe: Of course Zhongli, you are an exception <3
Zhongli: I am glad to know that.
Yae Miko: this is a public chat can u gays like go flirt somewhere else
Lumine: Miko is just jealous don't mind her
Yae Miko: I am not???
Ei: Why is she jealous? I am right here
Lumine: Exactly Ei u don't flirt with her like they do that's why she's jealous
Ei: Oh
Ei: But I don't know how to flirt
Yae Miko:
Yae Miko: Good night
Ei:
Ei: It's still afternoon?
Childe: lol u might wanna go after her I think she's mad at u
Ei: But why?
Childe: Maybe ask her instead of me??
Ei: …..okay
Childe: Aight now I am bored again so @Jean Truth or Dare
Kaeya: Why jean specifically
Childe: Idk it was a random name
Jean: Truth
Childe: …..wow I dint actually expect u to respond
Childe: But now that u did
Childe: Talk about someone u look upto
Lumine: That is such a boring question Boo
Childe: look this is Jean we are talking abt the last thing I want is accidentally pissing her off and getting yeeted off a cliff or smth
Kaeya: I thought u liked riling ppl up and then fighting them
Childe: If it is fight then yea
Childe: But I've seen what Jean does to ppl who piss her off
Childe: She *whispers* doesn't fight them but assigns them club room paperwork
Lumine: yikes no wonder u never challenged her
Jean: You are a wise man Childe
Jean: Someone I look upto huh
Barbara: You are gonna say Vanessa aren't u
Jean: I do look upto Lady Vanessa a lot but
Jean: This time my answer would be Venti
Childe: WHAT
Amber: WHAT
Barbara: WHAT
Lumine: WHAT
Aether: WHAT
Xiao: WHAT
Kaeya: WHAT
Venti: WHAT
Venti: Jean????
Jean: Yes?
Kaeya: DONT JUST SAY YES DID U EVEN READ THE QUESTION???
Jean: I did
Venti: maybe I am just too drunk and seeing things gonna go lie down for a while
Kaeya: I wish I could say the same but Jean already threw out all my alcohol stash so wtf is making me see this
Amber: Jean??? Are u sure u are not sick?? Did u overwork urself again?
Amber: @Barbara u shld check on her
Barbara: I am already on my way
Jean:
Jean: Will u guys give me a moment to explain
Jean: I know Venti doesn't exactly have the best reputation out there
Venti: I can vouch for that
Kaeya: I thought u said u were gonna lie down
Venti: I am
Kaeya: ..
Jean: ANYWAY
Jean: I know everyone doesn't exactly see him in the best light
Jean: But he's actually a very caring and responsible person once u get to know him
Venti: NO I AM NOT JEAN STOP SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT ME
Jean: can someone shut venti up until I finish
Venti: WHAT
Venti: I AN JUST TELLING THE TRUTH U CANT JUSUETSY7D7URNTJDID
Jean: Thank you Diluc
Diluc: It wasn't me
Jean: Mhm sure
Jean: What I am trying to say is that back in our high-school I knew how venti was viewed by everyone as the carefree and lazy student without any responsibilities
Jean: But that's because that's just what he wants you to believe
Amber: did I stumble upon a conspiracy thread
Childe: Hush Amber I am now invested I this
Jean: Venti can actually become serious and work properly when necessary, but he just does it so discreetly that no one realizes it (yes that is his intention)
Kaeya: Jean u know I respect u but I absolutely refuse to believe that Venti of all people can get serious
Amber: ……..Same
Lisa: Are u sure we are talking abt the same venti Jean dear
Jean: How many guys named Venti do u think can exist Lisa
Jean: I say that because I have seen Venti in action
Jean: He often sought out troubled juniors and helped them. He helped bullied and abused kids and sheltered them. He also took care of students who were poor in studies and encouraged them to not give up. He taught songs to the younger students and also played with younger kids. He's allergic to cats but dealt with it while helping Diona. I am sure you remember our former Student Council Vanessa? You all probably know that she was Venti's best friend. What you don't know is it was Venti who helped her the most in school and helped her get the position of the President in the first place. Oh and that position was actually offered to Venti at first but he refused and convinced Vanessa to fill it because he reasoned that she was the better leader between the two of them
Amber: When exactly……did all this happen
Kaeya: My eyes have been opened to a new world
Jean: Some of these incidents occurred before any of us started high-school there so I am not surprised all of you wouldn't know of it
Barbara: I….actually feel bad for calling him lazy in the past now
Lisa: How did you find out about all this Jean?
Jean: Oh Venti approached me to tutor a younger student and I found out some from the student and more from Vanessa
Kaeya: YOU MET THE LEGENDARY VANESSA?????
Amber: WHEN WHERE AND HOW
Jean: Courtesy of Venti of course
Sucrose: This…..is quite a lot to take in
Albedo: I always had my suspicions about venti but this was by no means within my expectations
Rosaria: …….same
Childe: Having a existential crisis rn brb
Lumine: I mean
Lumine: I am not exactly surprised
Aether: Me neither
Amber: Where is Venti now anyways
Diluc: Asleep
Jean: Oh right, also Diluc can vouch for me
Jean: He knew all about it too
Diluc: Jean.
Jean: ?
Kaeya: You are telling me my brother knew all the secrets about my drinking buddy that I did not
Kaeya: Wait a minute how do u know venti is asleep
Kaeya: Is he with u
Diluc: no
Kaeya: Okay then where are u rn
Diluc: I don't need to tell u that
Kaeya: Seee
Kaeya: U are with Venti aren't u
Diluc: I don't need to tell u anything
Jean: I don't understand why u try so hard to hide it Diluc it's so obvious with the way u look at him
Kaeya: I am sorry but WHAT
Diluc: Jean.
Diluc: Stop.
Jean: But why can't you just admit it
Diluc: I think there's been a misunderstanding
Kaeya: HEY HEY HEY NOW
Kaeya: DILUC IS THERE SOMETHING U ARE HIDING FROM UR DEAR BROTHER HOW COULD U DO THIS TO ME
Diluc: Stop overreacting Kaeya its literally nothing
Lisa: Jean darling? You can't just say something like that and go offline
Amber: Look I am not one for drama but this sounds interesting
Sucrose: So we all just accepted the facts about Venti that easily huh? Cool
Ei: In all honesty
Zhongli: I am surprised none of you ever knew
Ei: I was about to say that
Zhongli: I apologize for how slow you type then
Ei: Are you mocking me?
Zhongli: I am simply stating a fact
Ei:
Aether: Holy shit I actually forgot we were on the general chat and not the Mondstadt one
Lumine: ikr?? Like everyone else has been so quite that it was a shock to see Ei and Zhongli's name pop up
Gorou: We are just collectively processing the fact that Mondstadt and Liyue are both so much wilder than we imagined
Xingqiu: That's what u are doing. I, on the other hand, an intellect, am just taking down notes for my upcoming novel
Kaeya: Okay bit is no one gonna question how those two foreigners know Venti?
Kujo Sara: Did you forget that u are a foreigner too here
Kaeya: Ahahahahhahhah Whaaaaaaaat nooooo I am not whatever gave u that idea ahahahhahaha
Kujo Sara: ???
Kujo Sara: Aren't u from Mondstadt?
Kaeya: Oh
Kaeya: In that sense then yeah I am a foreigner too here
Amber: What sense exactly did u take it in Kaeya?
Kaeya: WILL U LOOK AT THE TIME ITS ALREADY TIME FOR ME TO GO TO BED GOOD NIGHT YALL SEE U TMRW
Aether: It's 4 pm
Lumine: It's too late he's gone
Jean: I apologize for the abrupt absence, a teacher had asked for my help with something regarding handing out forms
Diluc: Go back we don't want u here
Lisa: ah yes Jean dear u were talking abt how diluc looks at venti in a certain way
Jean: Oh right
Lisa: Could you elaborate
Jean: Huh?
Jean: I mean there's nothing elaborate. He just looks at Venti in so much admiration that I am surprised no one noticed
Amber: I am sorry, did u say admiration?
Lisa: Okay not what I expected but definitely not something I could have predicted
Diluc: I do not.
Jean: I don't understand why are u so adamant on hiding it
Jean: He really does deserve the admiration u know
Diluc: I know
Diluc: I MEAN I DONT ADMIRE HIM
Lisa: That's the first time I have seen him lose cool gotta screenshot this to send it to Kaeya
Diluc: ….
Diluc: I hate this group chat
[Action denied]
Diluc: AND I hate the fact that I can't leave it
Aether: What's Venti doing
Diluc: I don't know
Lumine: No need to get aggressive Master Diluc it was just a simple question
Diluc: You have been hanging out too much with Kaeya
Venti: Hi I am awake what did I miss
Venti: WAIT WTF WHERE AM I WHY ARE ALL THE WALLS BLACK AND IS THAT A LITERAL CLAYMORE IN THE CORNER Oh wait there's also grape juice
Aether: @Kaeya

Lumine: Nah she will at most break every bone in ur body and have u confined to bed for a week
Childe: And u want ur Comrade to go thru that??
Zhongli: I won't let that happen Childe don't worry.
Childe: Zhongli…..you are the only person in this world who I would give up my life for
Zhongli: Thank you Childe but please don't ever do that because losing you would upset me very much.

Xiangling: So u finally accept that u were crushing on her

Zhongli: Since you declared me your parent, it's only fair that I do my part and ensure your safety and wish you success on your courtship with Yanfei.
Hu Tao: Geez old man you really know how to make me emotional don't u
Hu Tao: Also no one uses courtship anymore just use dating or smth gosh
Zhongli: Oh I see. Thank you for the suggestion Hu Tao.
Hu Tao: ye ye and good luck on ur date with childe too

Ei: I know that was a very hurtful time for you but I swear it was an emergency and I really wanted to talk to you and explain my feelings but I was such a coward back then I had no idea how to face the two most intimidating situations in my whole at the same time
Yae Miko: Intimidating? Well I am so sorry that me finally getting my shit together and managing to confess my years long feelings for u was such a scary situation for u that u had to literally disappear to not see my face again

Kokomi: Actually Ayaka does have a point
Kokomi: If I didn't know any better I'd say he looks like her little brother

Hu Tao: @Xiao and @Ganyu LOOK THERES A SERIOUS ACCUSATION AGAINST OUR DAD
Keqing: Smh ig I shldnt be surprised all seniors are disappointments in one way or the other
Kokomi: I am sorry the news I am hearing right now is that Zhongli cheated on Childe with someone is that true?
Itto: wtf thats Raiden in the photo if I am not wrong
Yae Miko: It is Raiden but not Ei
Yae Miko: Its her twin sister Raiden Makoto
Yae Miko: We had originally come to the mall because we suspected that Makoto was supposed to have a date here
Yae Miko: I cant believe it turned out to be Zhongli
Childe: I think u are all assuming stuff unnecessarily Zhongli would never
Lumine: Childe where are u rn
Childe: at home?
Lumine: Good I dont want u to see me kick ur boyfriend’s ass
Childe: WAIT COMRADE WE SHLD DISCUSS IT FIRST I AM SURE ZHONGLI IS INNOCENT
Ningguang: As much as I am clueless I too think we shld investigate the matter thoroughly once baseless accusations will get u nowhere
Lumine: Oh I will investigate alright RIGHT AFTER I KICK ZHONGLI”S ASS FOR CHEATING ON MY BESTIE
Ei: I AM JOINING U SEND LOCATION

Xiao: What. Where’s the proof?
Kaeya: Backread lmao
Xiao: …
Childe: SO NOW U KNOW
Xiao: @Zhongli I used to respect u
Childe: What
Xiao: I cant believe this
Xiao: I may not approve of Childe but even I think that what u did to him is too cruel Zhongli
Childe: WHAT XIAO NO
Ganyu: I dont believe this! Zhongli would never!
Ganyu: We need a thorough investigation
Albedo: Why dint any of u consider asking the man himself?
Venti: He’s not replying
Albedo: I meant in person
Lumine: I would but my bitchass brother is holding me back
Ei: Let me go Miko even the weird non human guy thinks we shld beat him up
Albedo: Oh no, I meant literally asking him, if it is indeed what all of u assume, then u shld beat him up
Childe: Albedo can I call u comrade from now on
Kaeya: Back off bitch he already has a boyfriend
Albedo: I wouldnt mind that
Kaeya: Nooo Bedo am I not enough for u???
Albedo: Stop being dramatic u are still my only boyfriend
Kaeya: I just love u so much I cant help it heh
Diluc: Gross
Childe: I am on my way to the mall I am still convinced this is all a misunderstanding
Zhongli: My name seems to have been mentioned several times, did I perhaps miss something?
Ei: OH THERE U ARE U BITCH
Yae MIko: Zhongli how could u
Lumine: I KNEW I SHLD HAVE GIVEN U A PROPER SHOVEL TALK BEFORE LETTING U DATE CHILDE
Aether: Zhongli care to explain urself?
Childe: XIANSHENG PLEASE TELL THEM ALL ITS NOT TRUE
Zhongli: I am afraid I don’t understand what’s going on.
Lumine: [attachment.jpg]
Zhongli: Oh
Lumine: OH??? OH????? U CHEAT ON MY BESTIE AND ALL U HAVE TO SAY IS OH????
Ei: AND MY SISTER OF ALL PPL YOU IMBECILE I TRUSTED YOU
Hu Tao: DAD PLS TELL ME ITS NOT TRUE
Hu Tao: I will personally send u over to the other side if it is
Xiao: Zhongli, I trusted u
Zhongli: Don’t worry children, I haven’t done anything wrong.
Yae Miko: HOW MUCH OF A SCUM CAN U BE TEACHING UR KIDS THAT TWO TIMING SOMEONE IS NOT WRONG
Zhongli: I am indeed on a shopping trip for Makoto but we are not on a date
Ei: How do I believe you
Zhongli: Ei. Your sister is attracted to women.
Ei: That doesn’t change WHAT
Zhongli: Besides, in my whole life I have only ever been attracted To Childe. I would never even think about looking at another person when I am in love with the most interesting and beautiful man I have ever encountered. Forgive me for being so blunt, but I am truly too much in love with Childe, and always will be.
Hu Tao: I FUCKING KNEW IT
Childe: Zhongli….I just….I am so lucky to have fallen for u….I cant imagine a life without u
Zhongli: No Childe it is I who is lucky to have you.
Ganyu: Oh thank god so Zhongli is not a cheater after all
Lumine: But what were u doing with Ei’s sister anyways
Ei: My sister……likes women…..but she never told me….
Zhongli: Oh apologies I assumed that she did, and that she had even told you the purpose of her today’s shopping trip.
Zhongli: My apologies, Ei, truly. It was out of line for me to mention your sister’s private preferences publicly. I must apologise to her as well.
Zhongli: Ah it seems that Makoto has something to say, she is requesting my phone.
Zhongli: Hey everyone its me, Ei’s big sis, Makoto.
Ei: Why dint u ever tell me
Zhongli: Are u crying Ei?
Ei: I am not crying!
Zhongli: Is she crying MIko
Yae Miko: She is….
Zhongli: Aw Ei, I swear its not because I dont trust u or anything, its just because even I only found out abt it recently. To be honest, I wanted to announce it to the whole family at once when i brought my girlfriend along but now that i think abt it maybe I shld have at least mentioned it beforehand I am so sorry.
Ei: No it should be me apologising. I think it's pretty selfish of me to assume that you would let me know about everything going on in your life. You are your own person and can take care of yourself, but I continue to remain childish and insist on forcing myself into your life. I am so sorry.
Zhongli: Ei no….
Zhongli: Don’t say that, in fact it makes me so happy when you inquire about my life and it makes me even more happy when u tell me abt urs, I think its just that I wanted to surprise u this time.
Ei: Sorry for spoiling ur surprise.
Zhongli: Stop apologising, u did nothing wrong. My surprise just came a bit earlier than expected and thats okay too.
Zhongli: Actually, do u want to go visit my girlfriend later?
Lumine: Lord that looks so weird when sent by Zhongli’s username
Aether: Its giving me chills
Xiao: Same
Ei: I would really like that Makoto, but are u sure ur girlfriend wouldn’t mind?
Zhongli: I am sure she wouldnt!
Zhongli: Stop hiding behind Miko and come over here already poor Zhongli needs his phone back too
Ei: Alright.
Zhongli: So I suppose Ei’s sister cleared the matter?
Lumine: Still dont understand why the two of u were shopping together
Zhongli: Oh let me ask Makoto if I can tell you why.
Zhongli: She says yes, you see it was because Makoto was supposed to go on a date today but her girlfriend fell ill so she instead decided to visit her home. Not wanting to go empty handed, she enlisted my help to pick out a suitable present for her.
Venti: Oof that wild but why u tho
Zhongli: Her girlfriend is Guizhong.
Xiao: GUIZHONG IS DATING???
Ganyu: SHE DINT TELL US
Hu Tao: HOW COULD SHE
Hu Tao: Wait who
Xiao: Guizhong is Zhongli’s close friend and our senior
Ganyu: She is a very nice lady u guys shld meet her
Hu Tao: Oh so shes basically aunt
Ganyu: Yeah
Venti: But holy shit Guizhong is finally getting some
Venti: I legit thought she was gonna remain a celibate for life
Zhongli: I thought the very same too.
Lumine: So uh Zhongli
Lumine: Sorry for all that stuff earlier hehe
Lumine: No hard feelings?
Zhongli: None, Lumine. I am aware that you were only looking out for Childe, and I am glad to know that Childe has such a reliable friend as you.
Lumine: Damn. You are too good.
Lumine: Still gotta ask for my permission before marrying Childe.
Zhongli: Of course.
Childe: AJHHJESGH WHY ARE YALL ALREADY PLANNING THAT FAR AHEAD
Xiao: I am sorry as well, Zhongli, I should have never doubted you. I have failed you.
Zhongli: Not at all, Xiao. In fact, I am glad to know that you can look past your personal feelings to point out someone’s wrongs regardless. I know that I have taught you well enough from that alone.
Zhongli: I am also glad that you were willing to defend Childe’s honour even if it was going against me, that shows that you approve of our relationship and that makes me happy.
Xiao: NO I DONT
Xiao: GOOD NIGHT
Aether: Its morning-
Lumine: Shhh let him wallow in his embarrassment
Yae MIko: Yea am sorry too…shldnt have jumped to conclusions like that
Venti: Same
Jean: Venti I think Zhongli deserves a proper apology
Venti: ….
Venti: No cause I actually feel very guilty for baselessly accusing u like that so i dont know how to make it up to u
Zhongli: Stop drunk crashing at my place
Venti: HEY
Zhongli: For at least a week
Venti: Damn but I think I can manage that
Venti: Sorry again
Zhongli: It's okay.
Aether: Me too, Zhongli, I am so sorry.
Zhongli: It's alright, Aether. It was just a misunderstanding.
Ei: Morax, I am deeply apologetic for my earlier words and all that,,,,swearing. As your friend of many years, I should have had more trust in you but forgive me, I am just too protective of my sister. I couldn’t bear the thought of her being hurt. I am so sorry I did not consider how much of a loyal and dedicated partner you are to never ever do such a thing to your partner. Childe is very lucky to have you. And thank you so much for not having any hard feelings despite my harsh words, as well as for accompanying my sister to help her out.
Zhongli: It’s all alright, Ei. I understand how much your sister means to you and don’t worry about your words, I did not take them to hurt. I know you were only protecting your sister. Don’t worry about anything else and just enjoy your trip with Makoto. Also, please do give my well wishes to Guizhong.
Ei: I will.
Venti: Damn that was one hell of a ride
Lumine: Fr the whole situation was wild from start to finish
Aether: @Lumine I am at the the ice cream parlour hurry up if u dont wanna miss out
Lumine: ajshjs wait am coming
Aether: Childe’s paying
Childe: I literally just arrived

I do want Barbara Constellations but this game has only been giving me weapons and Yanfei and Noelle constellations (I dont use either of them tho rip).
Oof anyway end of rant and good luck on ur pulls! May Yelan and Xiao wanters be Yelan and Xiao havers!
Chapter 8: Loverboy Venti era
Summary:
On a side note: Having dragon friends or a dragon sibling is perfectly valid
Chapter Text
[Teyvat Gays]
Childe: Say, why don't we see Raiden Ei's sister around here anyways?
Lumine: That's cause she doesnt go to our academy
Aether: Ye she goes to Celestia academy
Ganyu: Guizhong goes there too
Venti: Ayyyy Vanessa too
Ei: I don't like that place
Ei: Makoto doesn't like it either but it is the top learning center and the academics are good
Venti: Yea but the students are treated like shit
Aether: Smh I heard the staff there act all high and entitled
Zhongli: They do, that why I opted out of there and joined here instead.
Zhongli: Unfortunately Guizhong wanted to stay there due to her academic commitments.
Lumine: Praying for her and Makoto and Vanessa and everyone else who goes there to come out safe and sound
Venti: As u shld
Venti: Anyway @Zhongli
Zhongli: What.
Lumine: lmao Zhongli using . instead of ? while saying what
Aether: Just speaks abt the levels of done he is with Venti
Venti: HEY
Venti: I was about to ask a very serious question okay
Zhongli: I highly doubt that but do go on.
Aether: Wait I have a question for u two too
Venti: ye?
Zhongli: What is it, Aether?
Aether: In a fight between Dvalin and Azdaha, who would win?
Lumine: And ppl call me the problematic twin
Venti: Dvalin!
Zhongli: Azdaha, quite obviously.
Zhongli: What are you talking about, bard?
Venti: No no what are u talking abt, old man??
Zhongli: I am stating a fact.
Venti: Your fact is bullshit Dvalin obviously would win against Azdaha
Zhongli: Dvalin is much smaller in size compared to Azdaha and might I remind you that Azdaha has the tenacity of the hardest rocks of the earth's surface.
Venti: And???? Size does not equal strength what type of stupid ass theory is that and Dvalin can actually fly okay meanwhile Azdaha only knows to hide in the ground
Zhongli: Excuse you if you think Azdaha is hiding he is simply absorbing the power of the elements underground meanwhile Dvalin has only the power of anemo on his side, so the conclusion is quite obvious.
Zhongli: Azdaha would win.
Venti: BUT CAN AZADAHA FLY???? NO! AND DVALIN CAN SO BASICALLY HE CAN DODGE ALL OF AZDAHA'S ATTACKS AND HAVE AN AIRBORNE ATTACK ADVANTAGE
Zhongli: MIGHT I REMIND YOU THAT AZDAHA HAS QUITE A HIGH RESISTANCE TO SEVERAL ELEMENTS INCLUDING ANEMO, THEREFORE CONTRARY TO YOUR BELIEFS, DVALIN'S ATTACKS WON'T SO MUCH AS LEAVE A SCRATCH ON AZDAHA'S STURDY EXTERIOR.
Venti: YOU KNOW WHAT LETS SOLVE THIS RIGHT NOW RIGHT HERE
Zhongli: ABSOLUTELY, MAYBE SEEING AZDAHA'S FULL POWER WILL PERHAPS CONVINCE YOU ABOUT THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF YOUR IDEAS.
Venti: Oh its on don't underestimate Dvalin old man
Zhongli: You will see Azdaha's true power soon bard, so be prepared.
Lumine: Look what u did Aether
Aether: I learnt it from u Lumi
Lumine: *proud* I taught u well
Diluc: What the fuck is wrong with u guys
Jean: Two huge dragons going against each other will result in a lot of destruction we shld stop them
Lumine: Nah dw they won't fight anywhere around here
Aether: Ye there's plenty of domains out there they'll be fine
Keqing: I am sorry but why are Zhongli and Venti talking about two legendary dragons like they are old friends or something?
Lumine: Ahaha cause u know
Aether: Sometimes u gotta have dragon friends for the sake of it
Albedo: Or a dragon brother
Childe: What the fuck is that supposed to mean
Aether: He is talking abt his dragon brother what is there to not understand
Childe: A dragon???? Brother????
Albedo: Are u judging me for not having normal human siblings like u do?
Lumine: Shame on u Childe this is not how I raised u
Childe: Wait that's not what I meant
Kaeya: My boyfriend is perfectly valid for having a dragon brother how dare u
Childe: NO WAIT I SWEAR I RESPECT ALL SORTS OF SIBLINGS DRAGON OR NOT
Childe: I just wanted to ask how does that work
Childe: Like are u a dragon too or smth?
Albedo: Oh no I am just a regular synthetic human being
Childe: Ahahaha I see
[Private message]
Childe: What does synthetic mean?
Lumine: Go ask Google u dumbass
Childe: No patience
Lumine: Tough luck idk either
Lumine: Go ask ur boyfriend or smth
Childe: Wait nvm someone asked in the gc
[Teyvat gays]
Amber: What's the meaning of synthetic? (Curious)
Albedo: Something made by chemical synthesis, especially to imitate a natural product.
Amber: I dont understand but thanks!
Zhongli: Albedo means to say that he resembles a human but his composition is in fact, different from other humans as he, correct me if I am wrong, was created artificially unlike the natural process of birthing humans.
Zhongli: By the power of alchemy I presume.
Albedo: That was a very correct observation Mr. Zhongli
Albedo: Me and all my siblings were created artificially in a lab by the power of alchemy
Childe: Huh
[Private message]
Childe: ?????????
Lumine: Why are u asking me
[Teyvat gays]
Kaeya: What? Y'all got a problem with with boyfriend being an amazing synthetic human being?
Childe: No but holy shit that's cool af
Childe: Does that mean ur dragon sibling was created in lab too???
Albedo: Yes
Venti: Ayyyy u shld bring along Durin to our dragon showoff I am sure he will have fun meeting other dragons
Albedo: Durin doesn't like fighting but I am sure he wouldn't mind refereeing for Dvalin and Azdaha
Venti: Noice that works too
Albedo: Besides he has actually been very eager to meet and befriend Dvalin but is a bit shy
Albedo: I think he has a crush on Dvalin
Venti: Ajsjjdjdjd WHAT
Childe: Huh
Lumine: what? Are you judging a dragon for having a crush on another dragon?
Childe: NO NO
Childe: I was just a bit surprised that is all
Venti: It is now my life goal to now get Dvalin and Durin together
Aether: Maybe u shld fix ur singleness first
Venti: U are just as single as I am bestie
Aether: Fuck you ❤
Venti: No thank you ❤
Childe: Where is Raiden Ei's dragon friend
Childe: aren't u three like a set
Venti: She doesn't have one LOL
Ei: At least I have a fox girlfriend who is soon going to be my wife so who's the real winner here, drunkard?
Venti: STOP ATTACKING MY SINGLENESS LIKE THAT
Ei: No <3
Aether: Smh imagine being friends with an actual dragon
Lumine: Why are u talking like we aren't friends with an actual dragon too
Aether: Idk man we don't know Azdaha and Dvalin on a personal enough level to call them friends
Aether: Ig we can call them acquaintances
Lumine: I am talking abt Zhongli u dumb brother
Aether: Oh right
Aether: I forgor
Hu Tao: Wtf Zhongli's a dragon???
Hu Tao: AN actual dragon has been working for me all this time and none of yall told me??
Lumine: To be fair u never asked
Xingqiu: Zhongli??? Our senior Zhongli?? Is a dragon???
Keqing: wtf I never knew
Childe: lmao
Keqing: U knew???
Childe: Boyfriend privileges
Childe: actually i knew even before that
Ganyu: Well I am surprised no one figured it out
Ganyu: You all were quick to figure out that Xiao and I are adepti how did none of you realise that Zhongli is an adeptus too
Yanfei: HE IS AN ADEPTUS??? WHY DID I NEVER SENSE IT I AM AN ADEPTUS TOO
Yanfei: Half at least
Hu Tao: Wait u are half adeptus
Yanfei: Yeah?
Hu Tao: Holy shit my girlfriend is a half adeptus yall losers will never be as cool as me
Keqing: Excuse you my girlfriend is a half adeptus too
Childe: My boyfriend is a full adeptus 🤡
Yoimiya: whats an adeptus
Lumine: they are like these divine beasts in Liyue
Yoimiya: Like Yae senpai and Kujou Sara in Inazuma?
Lumine: Uh
Lumine: Ig?
Aether: Are u sure that's correct Lumine
Lumine: Honestly no idea
Venti: If u losers are done
Venti: I suddenly remembered the question I wanted to ask Zhongli
Venti: Ayo @Zhongli if I ever get married will u walk me down the aisle
Aether: Aksjdndnd how can u casually just ask such a serious question
Zhongli: I am the only one you know who is older than you. Of course I would walk you down the aisle, Venti. How is that even a question?
Venti: ayyyy thank you thank you
Aether: The real question is who would even want to marry you
Venti: I think u shld ask yourself that question Aether
Lumine: My brother is gonna marry an adepududsSssgshsjrrhwj
Venti: Ayo Aether don't murder Lumine u will have the mafia on ur back
Aether: Nah the kamisatos can't catch me that easily
Ayato: No actually we don't mind if u do end up murdering ur sister
Ayaka: Big brother I will murder you if Aether ends up murdering Lumine
Ayato: Thoma won't let that happen
Thoma: no actually I will if that's what my lady wants
Ayato: Betrayal. By those I considered family.
Ayato: I can never recover from this loss
Ayaka: (◡‿◡✿)
Ayato: What happened to you, you used to be so sweet and nice and obedient
Ayato: and now u are a devil spawn
Ayaka: Maybe if u dint plot my girlfriend's murder every two seconds I wouldnt have had to change my faces
Ayato: I am just looking out for u thats what big brothers do
Ayaka: Not by planning to kill the person I love!
Ayato: SHE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU AYAKA I DONT WANT MY DARLING LITTLE SISTER TO END UP WITH SOMEONE AS CRASS AS HER AND MIGHT I REMIND YOU HOW DANGEROUS SHE IS
Ayaka: I DONT CARE I LOVE HER
Ayato: WELL I DO CARE AND THATS BECAUSE I DONT WANT MY ONLY SISTER TO END UP BEING HURT BECAUSE AN OUTLANDER DECIDED TO PISS OFF THE GOVERNMENT OR SMTH
Ayaka: LUMINE FIGHTS TWO LEGENDARY BEASTS AND A LITERAL GOD EVERY WEEK I HARDLY DOUBT THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE ENOUGH TO HARM HER
Ayato: HOW CAN U TYPE ALL THAT AND STILL NOT REALISE HOW DANGEROUS BEING WITH HER IS
Ayaka: We are literally in the mafia Ayato we deal with dangerous people on a daily basis
Ayato: This is different
Ayaka: I don't see how
Yoimiya: Maybe u shld take this to the dms
Yae Miko: Wait no I just got my popcorn
Ei: Miko.
Yae Miko: What? Family drama is the best kind of entertainment!
Venti: How did my question abt whether or not Zhongli will walk me down the aisle on my wedding turn into a full blown out mafia siblings war
Xiao: It can't be helped chaos follows everywhere u go
Venti: True dat
Aether: still don't see who would like to marry u
Lisa: Oh I actually know a certain someone who would very much like to marry Venti
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Venti: Lol what
Lisa: Jean knows too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Jean: ????
Jean: I do???
[Private message]
Lisa: Jean darling please tell me u know who I am talking abt
Jean: No I don't Lisa
Lisa: What
Lisa: But u were literally
Lisa: was that all unintentional??
Jean: What was all unintentional?
Lisa: Jean, darling, love, light of my life
Lisa: Did u not yet realise that Diluc has feelings for Venti?
Jean: Huh????
Jean: Wait a minute??? What???
Lisa: Darling, look back on everything u said about Diluc and Venti in the group chat
Jean: Oh my god
Jean: The apples
Lisa: Yes
Jean: And the admiration part and when Diluc took Venti to his room when he passed out from being too drunk and
Jean: God there have been so many incidents that I can't even list them all out
Jean: Lisa how did I never notice this
Lisa: Well to be fair u were convinced that we were only friends even after going on Seven dates with me
Jean: I didn't want to assume
Lisa: I know sweetheart that's why I kissed u full on the mouth on our eighth date
Lisa: Anyway
Lisa: So all this time when u were talking abt Diluc and Venti u never realised Diluc's feelings at all???
Jean: No Lisa and I actually feel very guilty now
Jean: I can't believe I just exposed Diluc's feelings like that just out on the groupchat without realising
Lisa: I think you should talk to him
Jean: I will
[Private message]
Jean: Diluc?
Diluc: Jean.
Jean: Oh thank god u are online
Diluc: Why? Did something happen?
Jean: Well, Lisa made me realise something…
Diluc: Oh god
Jean: What? Why?
Diluc: Nvm
Diluc: Do go on
Jean: I think I should start with apologising to you
Diluc: It's alright Jean
Jean: …..u didn't even let me mention what I am apologising for
Diluc: And yet I already know its not ur fault so u don't have to Jean
Jean: No I think this time it is my fault
Jean: So u know what I said on the gc the other day
Jean: About you and Venti?
Diluc: …..what about it?
Jean: I just…..didn't know…..I am so sorry
Diluc: Jean
Jean: It was very mean of me to just expose your feelings like that out in the public, Diluc I am so sorry I never realised that you had feelings for Venti until Lisa pointed it out to me. I am just so sorry for being a bad friend and never noticing it either, you must have been so annoyed with what I said.
Diluc: Jean.
Diluc: I was right when I said you would be apologising for something that isn't even your fault.
Diluc: I already knew that you were not aware of it.
Diluc: And you can't blame yourself for not noticing it. I never told you in the first place and that makes me the bad best friend because you share everything with me but I withheld this information from you.
Jean: No! Don't say that! You have every right to have your own secrets. Even if I am your closest friend, I would never ask you to tell me something so private.
Diluc: Exactly, then stop blaming yourself for not noticing something I intentionally hid from you.
Jean: Oh
Diluc: The fact that Lisa knows……does it mean it's too obvious..?
Jean: I wouldn't say that, Lisa is just very smart and has a strong intuition when it comes to matters like these
Jean: But um
Jean: Are u like
Jean: Ever going to confess?
Diluc: No
Jean: Why???
Diluc: There's a lot of reasons actually…
Diluc: Firstly, I am happy with how we are currently. We can at least hang out with each other every now and then. If I were to confess and Venti ends up rejecting me it would become too awkward for us to even hang out with each other.
Jean: Oh Diluc
Diluc: Besides, Venti is a free spirit. Matters like love and feelings aren't something he should be tied down by, unless he is interested in someone and I hardly doubt it would be me. Venti is too nice and friendly and kind, he gets along with everyone and wouldn't hesitate to help anyone. I am just some guy who scares everyone off with my appearance. And I am hardly as nice as him. He deserves someone so much better than me. Someone who would complement his personality and style. Not me who isn't worthy of being with him.
Jean: At the beginning of your reasoning I could see what you meant and why you didn't want to confess but by the end of it I feel like punching you right through the screen
Diluc:
Jean: How can u look down on yourself so much Diluc
Jean: You have done so much for Mondstadt. If anything, I think you two do complement each other! And both of u help Mondstadt behind people's backs and without taking any credit for it. Diluc I understand when u say that u wouldn't confess ur feelings to him because u dont want things to get awkward between u guys but I will absolutely not stand by and watch u put urself down like this
Diluc: It's the truth Jean, I can never be good enough for Venti, he's done so much more for Mondstatd then I could ever compare
Jean: Will you shut up. You literally used to go out every night to make sure the streets of Mondstadt are safe for everyone and Venti knows how much you do for Mondstadt too. If anything I think he was impressed when he learnt that.
Diluc: I still don't think I am someone people, especially Venti, would want to date
Jean: Shut the fuck up Diluc "voted the most eligible bachelor of Mondstadt for three years straight" Ragnvindr
Diluc: You swore, I am telling Barbara
Jean: you won't
Diluc: ….
Jean: Learn to be a bit more appreciative of yourself, Diluc. In all matters, not just this.
Diluc: I will think about it
Jean: Where are you right now Diluc
Diluc: The cafeteria why
Jean: I am coming over to give you a hug
Diluc: You don't have to
Jean: Too late I am already on my way
[Osmanthus Wine]
Ei: I just saw Jean Gunnhildr randomly show up in the cafeteria and give the red haired kid a hug are your juniors okay Venti?
Venti: Nah they all need help
Venti: which red haired kid
Lumine: Pretty sure there's only one in Mondstadt
Ei: Your crush
Venti: AJSJBSJDDNR DILUC IS NOT MY CRUSH
Lumine: Lmfao no one said he is u literally exposed urself
Aether: Venti u literally wrote a whole poem on Diluc and his 'gorgeous red hair' and 'beautiful copper coloured eyes'
Venti: (1) It was a ballad know the difference u heathen (2) I never mentioned who it was yall are just making assumptions
Aether: You literally
Aether: The description was so accurately Diluc
Lumine: That even a kid could figure out it was Diluc in the ballad
Venti: I was just using him as my muse that doesn't mean I have a crush on him what are u guys even talking abt
Zhongli: But you did say that he suits the title of Mondstadt's most eligible bachelor given and I quote, "How charming and gentlemanly his personality and looks are."
Venti: WHEN DID I SAY THAT WTF
Lumine: Venti ayxitydfjgug7gh that is so cringe I am crying
Venti: ZHONGLI IS TROLLING THAT DOESNT SOUNF LIKE ME AT ALL
Zhongli: You were drunk.
Venti: Oh then maybe I did say that
Venti: BUT IT STILL DOESNT MEAN I HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM
Zhongli: Venti there have been more than one instances where you have been drunk and intruded into my house and waxed poetry about Diluc Ragnvindr and his, I quote, 'perfect looks'.
Aether: LMFAOOO U GO ZHONGLI EXPOSE ALL OF VENTI'S PINING LOVERBOY TENDENCIES
Venti: WHAT THE FUCK I DID THAT?????????
Zhongli: I will record it next time.
Venti: NO FUCKING NEED
Venti: I can wax poetry about the guy I consider my muse nothing gay abt that
Ei: Keep telling yourself that loverboy.
Venti: Ei??? You too???
Ei: I stand by my words.
Aether: Venti bullying era
Lumine changed the group chat name to [Loverboy Venti bullying hours]
Venti: LUMINE WHAT THE FUCK
Venti: I FUCKING HATE THIS FAMILY
Ei: You sound a lot like Kunikuzushi when u say that
Venti: Dont compare me to ur demonspawn kid
Ei: I already told u he's a lot better once u get to know him
Venti: Ei he literally tried to bite me when I asked him to call me uncle
Ei: That's ur fault for treating him like a child
Venti: But he is a child!
Ei: He is sensitive when it come to his height so he doesn't like it when people call him or treat him like a child.
Venti: Well at least I can relate to him on height matters
Lumine: You must be the shortest guy I have ever met tbh
Venti: Xiao exists
Lumine: Oh right lol
Aether: Dont talk shit abt my boyfriend u heathens
Lumine: BOYFRIEND?
Aether: Future* boyfriend
Lumine: so u finally accepted it
Aether: I saw Venti and decided I do not want to be like him
Venti: This is slander
Aether: I try my best
Lumine: So when are u going to ask him out Aeth
Aether: Let's not get ahead of ourselves Lumi
Lumine: Coward
Aether: Childe literally had to ask out ur girlfriend for u
Lumine: SHUT
Notes:
Azdaha vs Dvalin. Who do u think would win? Your answers will decide the outcome of their match so choose wisely (no seriously I thought and thought about it but couldn't pick a winner so I'd really appreciate some extra opinions on this matter)
Chapter 9: Xingqiu's Auntie
Summary:
Shady business
Notes:
I have so much to say but I forgot half the stuff so let me start by apologising for the extremely late update, my school started a week after I posted the previous chapter and I got so busy I had no time to type at all TT I also leveled up by a year that same week (all my friends either forgot or did not know it was my birthday but eh). Besides that, I FINALLY got a new computer this week!!! (And preformed terribly on all my tests but thats smth I will worry about later) So I can finally type on an actual keyboard instead of my phone screen!!
I also reached ar 56 which further solidifies the fact that I have no life and actually need some grass.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Zhongli: We urge everyone who is coming along to exercise caution and remain within the safety line throughout the battle. Venti and I will set up a barrier of Geo and Anemo to make sure no attack lands on the spectators, but we still hope you will maintain caution.
Xiao: I am actually worried
Ganyu: We should probably go just to make sure everyone is safe

Xingqiu: No carrots please
Xiangling: Depends on how fast you show up :>
Notes:
I swear I wanted to finish up the Azdaha vs Dvalin showdown in this chapter but couldnt fit it in TT and thanks y'all so much for the comments in the previous chapter it really made me sit and think more about Azdaha, Dvalin and Durin more than I ever did! Don't worry the next chapter will definitely have the winner of the duel.
On another note, Yelan turned out a bit OOC in my fic but thats probably because I started writing her in this before 2.7 was released so I apologise for that I will try to stick to her character better in the future.
I cannot promise when I will post the next chapter however TT like I said school has made me busier and its high time I start focusing on my grades if I am to do well this year. But thank you guys so much for all the support and encouragement it motivates me very much!! I also have lots of other fic ideas and plan on writing them when I take a break from this fic after one or two more chapters.
Also did you guys watch the 2.8 livestream? It was pretty wild with all the lags and glitches lol but all the trailers and events have got me very excited for the version!! And Diluc and Fischl's new skins oh my god they loook absolutely amazing!! And the banners too!! I cant wait for 2.8 to go live it seems very fun especially since it will have the golden apple archipelago rerun (I started playing during 2.3 so i missed the first one) so yeah, it sounds very exciting!!!
Chapter 10: 3...2...1
Summary:
Fight!
Notes:
Okay let me start off by thanking each and everyone of yall who replied to my Azdaha vs Dvalin question it was really fun to read each and everyone's opinions and views on the battle I learned quite a lot of new things from yall too! I compiled all the comments into votes and as for who won, u will find out in the chapter below! I for the love of god can't write fight scenes well but tried my best for this one even if it was just narration from one of the characters but it was fun ngl so I am not very disappointed either hehe.
Enjoy your reading byee (✪‿✪)ノ
(oh yeah also not beta read so if u see any mistakes i am very sorrry i will correct them when i reread it later (;´瓜`) )
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
[Teyvat Gays]
Xingqiu: I am betting my money on Dvalin winning the match
Xiangling: You’re a Liyuen, you should be supporting Azdaha!
Bennett: I think Azdaha will win!
Fischl: I, Fischl, Prinzessine der Verurteilung, do not stand with the declaration of my good companion and will remain loyal to the land which offered me a dwelling when I was banished from my magnificent homeland of Immemachtreich, and shall place my honor and belief upon the glorious Wind dragon whose humble name one has known to be Dvalin
Oz: The Prinzessine wants to say that she’s placing her bets on Dvalin
Venti: As she should thank you for the support Xingqiu and Fischl
Beidou: We have a betting pool now eh?
Beidou: Well my bets are on Azdaha cause he looks tougher
Ningguang: My bets are on Dvalin for reasons I don’t think are necessary to disclose
Beidou: Ning??
Ningguang: You are going to lose the bet darling
Beidou: HAHA We will see about that!
Beidou: Kazuha who are u supporting my son?
Ningguang: Surely it’s me, the smarter mother and the one who gives your daily allowance
Beidou: Thats cheating Ning you cant influence our son with money
Ningguang: It’s not cheating if I win
Beidou: Which you won’t
Ningguang: We will see about that

Ayato: I am placing my bets on who’s going to come out more injured, its going to be Dvalin regardless of who wins
Childe: My bets are on Azdaha because I believe in Zhongli
Lumine: Simp
Childe: No you
Aether: Alright everyone dm ur bets and then stfu its starting now
[Teyvat Gays]
Hu Tao: Oh ho hooo I can smell the Dvalin betters losing ya boi got hit and is injured badly
Xingqiu: I think u mean the Azdaha betters because Dvalin is not the one who is too heavy to dodge attacks
Ningguang: @Ganyu what’s happening
Ganyu: Uh..a lot
Yanfei: Allow me
Yanfei: So the duel started with both of them greeting each other very politely
Lumine: Nothing new
Yanfei: And so when the battle started, Dvalin immediately took off to the skies without giving Azdaha any chance to hit him, so yeah the next several minutes was spent in Azdaha throwing elemental attacks on Dvalin and Dvalin dodging them all and occasionally sending an attack or two towards Azdaha but apparently Azdaha’s skin is too sturdy so it didn't affect him much
Yanfei: Actually I cant do this alone, anyone willing to join in?
Kuki Shinobu: I can help senpai
Yanfei: Thanks Shinobu u can continue where i left off
Kuki Shinobu: So Azdaha unleashed several deadly attacks but since they were all Geo and affected the ground more than the sky, they dint do much. But then he went underground with his tail sticking out I think Dvalin saw this as a chance and swooped down and shot anemo bullets at Azdaha and I think he was going to unleash a stronger attack but then Azdaha came out and slammed Dvalin straight on his head with his horns
Hu Tao: Those who placed their bets on Dvalin regretting life rn
Hu Tao: OH WAIt
Yelan: What’s going on?
Yelan: My bets are on Dvalin and i dont want to lose
Yanfei: You should do something about your gambling addiction Yelan
Yelan: never
Keqing: Okay whats going on u cant just leave us hanging like that
Ganyu: Dvalin seems to have gained an advantage over Azdaha
Ningguang: I didn’t take you to be someone interested in betting, Keqing
Keqing: I am not, I just want to know the result of this match because I am curious
[Private message]
Keqing: Is it too late to change my bets from Azdaha to Dvalin
Aether: yes
Keqing: Fuck.
[Teyvat Gays]
Yanfei: Sorry sorry I dropped my phone because of the earthquake so anyways after Azdaha slammed Dvalin with his horns, Dvalin fell to the ground and you know Azdaha could have actually finished him off with one last attack if Dvalin had not blinded Azdaha with anemo before falling so yeah Azdaha was just blindly attacking the ground while Dvalin was struggling against the tremors to try and fly again
Yanfei: On to you Shinobu
Kuki Shinobu: Like senpai said, Azdaha unleashed a very strong shockwave which could have ended the match with him winning but Dvalin was on the other side of the arena so even though he got fatally injured because of Azdaha’s other ground based attacks, he avoided the elemental ones because Azdaha couldn’t see properly
Kuki Shinobu: He managed to gather his remaining strength and fly up in the sky and oh he’s actually bleeding…a lot
Keqing: What’s Azdaha’s state?
Yanfei: I think he’s still partially blinded because of Dvalin’s anemo attack, other than that, he seems tired and I can’t quite make out if he’s injured or not since he isn’t bleeding but his attacks and movements have become slow and a little bit weaker than before especially after he entered his elemental infusion state
Lumine: wait lets ask Zhongli
Lumine: @Zhongli what do u think of Azdaha’s state right now?
Zhongli: I am afraid that despite how he looks on the exterior, the fatigue of the battle is getting to him. Although he is in a much better state compared to Dvalin, he is also in a much worse state compared to all the other battles he had fought. He does not bleed like Dvalin since most of his skin is rock but you can make out by the fissures on his skin that Dvalin’s attacks have taken quite a heavy toll on him.
Zhongli: I will be honest, I am impressed by Dvalin’s power.
Venti: Azdaha doing great too tbh its the first time I have seen Dvalin so injured in a battle
Jean: Are you sure this is alright? They both seem to be in terrible states, what if one of them ends up so badly injured that the consequences end in something we could never imagine.
Lisa: Jean darling, are you okay?
Jean: I am just a bit scared for them, Lisa. I don’t know Azdaha but I have met Dvalin personally but either way I don’t want something disastrous t o happen.
Venti: Jean jean jean jeeeaaaan
Venti: I understand your concerns Jean, but this is not a battle to death. We asked Azdaha and Dvalin if they would be interested in dueling each other and they happily agreed. If either one of them had said no or expressed any reluctance, neither Zhongli nor I would have forced them. Because as much as we like holding onto our reputation, they are our friends and we would never ask them to do something they don’t want to, even if it costs our reputation.
Aether: Holy shit I was ready to believe that Zhongli was typing from venti’s phone but no its Venti I can see him typing
Zhongli: The bard can be quite eloquent when he wants to be
Venti: ehe
Lumine: Aaand its ruined
Zhongli: Anyways, as the bard said, please do not worry, Jean. We have asked Azdaha and Dvalin both to forfeit the match should they find it too hard on themselves and as much as they pride themselves on their strength, both of them are aware of their limitations and will withdraw immediately should they realize they can go on no longer.
Jean: You are both older and wiser than me so I believe you
Venti: Akdjjfh Jean dont lump me in with that old man
Lumine: Lmao old man Venti
Aether: Old man Venti
Venti: HEY HEY
Venti: STOP THAT
Kaeya: Cool cool cool now can someone update us on the match I dont wanna buy Rosaria drinks for a whole month if I lose my bet
Rosaria: Get ur wallet ready
Yanfei: Sorry yes let me just go through what happened
Yanfei: So Dvalin did this attack that Venti called Celesti smth smth
Venti: Caelestinum Finale Termini how hard is to remember
Yanfei: Very much.
Yanfei: Anyway so the ground underneath azdaha cracked but mind u that he had entered his dual elemental fusion state by now so while dvalin was swooping down to do the celesti smth smth attack, azdaha hit him with zaps of electro and a hailstorm of cryo
Kaeya: Rosie looks like its u who’s gotta buy my drinks for the next month
Rosie: we will see about that
Kuki Shinobu: But while Azdaha attacked him, Dvalin attacked him too so there was a huge shockwave that resulted in a swirl between cryo and electro with continuous anemo ripping against Azdaha’s skin from the ground beneath him. At first Dvalin was caught in the elemental strom but he managed to use his anemo burst bombs to tear open a passgage for himself now onto u Yanfei senpai
Yanfei: Azdaha is still stuck in the storm and taking a lot of damage I think its the electro ad cryo backfiring at him along with the sharp gales from Dvalin’s Celesti attack
Venti: Caelestinum Finale Termini I literally thought of it like minutes ago how hard can it be to remember
Yanfei: Not commenting on that. So yeah, Dvalin seems like he is on the verge of falling out of the sky but Azdaha is doing worse than him given how he is taking damage from three elements all at once aaand he went down into the ground
Zhongli: Azdaha is too injured to arise out of the ground again I am afraid the battle has come to an end
Ei: Suffice to say, the victor has been decided
Yae Miko: It was a very exciting match, even if I did lose my bet
Lumine: Dvalin wins!
Ningguang: I knew it
Beidou: Damn but Azdaha put up a tough fight too so no regrets for betting on him
Rosaria: @Kaeya get ur wallet ready bitch
Xingqiu: And you all were slandering me for betting on Dvalin
Ayato: I would have won either way because like I predicted, Dvalin is in a much much worse state than Azdaha despite winning
Aether: Speaking of which @Venti Dvalin needs immediate medical attention and @Zhongli will Azdaha be alright
Zhongli: I spoke to him and he says that the fight had quite the impact on him so he will remain in the ground for several months to rest and recuperate and also @Venti, Azdaha expresses his sincere gratitude and appreciation for this match and has a newfound respect for Dvalin. He says he would like to "hang out" Dvalin sometime in the future when they are both in better conditions.
Venti: Ayyy das so cool yea I'll let Dvalin know
Venti: Also I will take Dvalin to his lair, he’ll probably need to sleep for months or years depending on his injuries but dw I will make sure to patch him up properly once we reach there
Aether: @Venti HE’S FALLING VENTI HE’S FALLING VENTI DO SOMETHING DVALIN IS FALLING
Venti: WIAT I AM GETTING TO HIM
Aether: Oh
Venti: Wow okay that was unexpected
Lumine: Everybody say thank you Durin for saving Dvalin from a fatal fall
Venti: @Albedo please thank him from my side
Albedo: I will

Rhinedottire: Is it done? How'd it go?
Albedo: Dvalin won
Rhinedottire: Fuck I owe Dain 100 bucks now
Rhinedottire: Anyway did u children have fun? How did Durin feel?
Albedo: It was actually very fun and Durin got along quite well with many people too
Albedo: He also managed to speak once to Dvalin before the match began and mother I think he's too far gone
Rhinedottire: Ah, young love
Albedo: He tried to break into the arena every time Dvalin got hit in the name of avenging him but fortunately the barriers were too strong for him
Rhinedottire: That's my boy
Albedo: Mother.
Rhinedottire: Ahem
Rhinedottire: So did he manage to finally grab a date with the dragon of his dreams??? Pls say yes or I will cry
Albedo: He saved Dvalin from falling and was asked to accompany Dvalin till his lair by Venti so that counts I suppose
Rhinedottire: YES. THAT'S MY BOY.
Rhinedottire: You all are growing up so fast it makes me emotional
Rhinedottire: Soon Klee will grow up too and will have to leave me and Alice and we will be all alone
Albedo: Mother, Klee is a preschooler she won't be leaving you and Aunt Alice anytime soon
Rhinedottire: That's what they said about you and now look! You are already in university and soon Durin will want to leave too
Albedo: Mother are you drunk
Rhinedottire: A little
Albedo: ….it's four in the afternoon
Rhinedottire: Alcohol don't need no time!!
Albedo: I am telling Aunt Alice
Rhinedottire: WAIT ALBEDO DONT

Albedo: Sorry to disturb you Aunt Alice but Mother is drinking again

Ei: Wait tell me when is our duel and then go
Aether: It's too late Ei he's gone

Paimon: Paimon thinks it's the same thing
Itto: The floating lavender melon is here too???
Paimon: WHAT DID U JUST CALL ME U BULL CHUCKER
Aether: Paimon is always there

Chongyun: Mr. Zhongli asked u what the best disguise was and u told him fake mustaches and round glasses???
Hu Tao: The ones that come as a set with a big fake nose too
Xingqiu: Lmaooo classic

Hu Tao: For what? To go undercover in a museum???
Hu Tao: Relax I am sure he knew I was joking what type of an idiot grandpa would he be if he doesn't

Zhongli: Hu Tao suggested this disguise to me. Do you think it's good enough?
Ei: I can't quite say I am not very well versed in the art of disguise like Miko.
Ei: I think it works well enough, now what do you think about mine?
Zhongli: Thank you for saying that, I think yours is pretty effective too, although I must ask, do those shades and the scarf belong to Yae Miko?

Chapter Text
[Before the events of ch11]
Putting away his phone, Diluc sucked in a deep breath as he got ready to head out.
It's no big deal. It's no big deal. It's just a date. He kept telling himself in an attempt to calm his nerves except somewhere along the way his thoughts had shifted to It's just a date. What if Venti doesn't want anything more to do with him after this? What if Venti finally realised what a loser he was halfway through the date and decided that it was simply not worth it? But what if none of that happened and this actually worked out? Was he even good enough for Venti? Would he ever be good enough-
Stop. Stop overthinking. A voice that sounded a lot like Jean's shouted in his head. Diluc sighed. The voice was right. He should worry about all that afterwards. For now, the only thing that mattered was that he was going on a date with the most beautiful and angelic and amazing and-
Ahem. The point is he was finally going on a date with the person he was in love with so it was an occasion to be excited about, not nervous. So steeling himself and trying his best to calm down his hammering heart, Diluc finally headed out.
****
Venti was feeling…..jittery. Which was weird because he had never felt like this before. Sure he had gone on dates before but this particular one was somehow making him feel unusually cheerful and restless compared to all the others. And his date hadn't even begun yet.
At the same time he couldn't help but feel like there was something off in his surroundings. Like something was watching him. Lifting his head up from his phone, he surveyed the area but could notice nothing different. There was a rustle in the bushes a few feet away from him. Curious, he was about to approach it when a gray kitten jumped out and ran past him.
Venti immediately put as much distance between him and the cat and the bush as possible. Nope! Today will not be the day he would embarrass himself by having an allergic reaction and spending the whole day sneezing and coughing instead of enjoying the company of the most handsome and amazing and charm-
Ahem. The point is he did not want to have Diluc deal with his sick self so he opted to make sure none of the cat's hair or anything related to it got onto him. Luckily he retreated quickly enough. There were no signs of any sneezing or coughing threatening to over take him, which was a relief.
****
"Why would you opt to hide in a bush of all places??" Ei asked in an irritated voice as she plucked out a leaf stuck in her(Miko's) scarf.
"Well, when I asked Hu Tao which would be the best hiding place to spy on someone, she confidently suggested a bush." Zhongli replied in a matter-of-fact voice.
Ei opened her mouth to argue but realised that it would be a futile attempt since she hardly had any better options to suggest for hiding anyways.
Zhongli carefully observed Venti through the thick lenses of his fake glasses and remarked, "Venti somehow seems more excited than usual."
Ei nodded, "I noticed too, maybe this is the one after all."
Zhongli agreed, "I thought so too, oh, here he comes."
****
"Where the fuck are they?"
The parents of the children standing around them gasped in disapproval and quickly covered the ears of their young ones.
Childe sincerely apologized to them with a guilty smile on his face and turned to Yae Miko, "There are children around, can you not swear so casually?" He hissed.
Yae Miko ignored him and continued to look around for any traces of Ei or Zhongli. She found neither and was thoroughly disappointed.
"Do you see them, young one?" She asked without looking at Childe.
Childe cringed at being addressed as 'young one', surely she couldn't be that older than him. Regardless he replied, "Nope, not a clue- oh wait I see Diluc."
Yae Miko perked up, "Where?"
Childe's eyes followed the red haired youngster's movement, "He went inside."
Yae Miko smirked, "Perfect. Let's follow the bait, we will get our catch soon enough."
*****
Jean thought that maybe Lisa was right after all when she said Jean behaved more like a mother than a best friend.
After all, how else could she describe the wave of pride she felt when she saw Diluc walk upto Venti as confidently as possible and greet him properly for once. He was nervous, true, but only Jean could notice it. Perks of being best friends since childhood she supposed. She was also aware that behind her, Lisa was admiring the newest set of books that had arrived at the bookstore they were currently hiding in. She only hoped that Lisa wouldn't tire of this soon.
Lisa was already tired. She was all for gossip and for finding out the latest tea on all matters. But this one was just…..boring. It was quite obvious that Venti and Diluc were pining for each other and this date would probably go well enough even without her darling chaperoning it. But when she saw Jean's determined and excited face, she couldn't say no. So here she was, on a Saturday afternoon, tailing two idiots in love with her girlfriend instead of lying in bed and snoring.
"I am so proud of him." She heard Jean sniffle and smiled to herself.
Maybe just a little longer.
****
When Diluc arrived, Venti seemed to be looking around for something. The latter hadn't noticed him yet.
Unsure on what to say, he coughed once to catch the other's attention.
Venti turned back around immediately at the sound and his eyes lit up when they landed on Diluc. He was taken aback by how particularly handsome the other looked today. Venti had always thought that black was Diluc's colour and he was undoubtedly right. Coupled with his sharp copper coloured eyes and his flaming red hair tied in a high ponytail, Venti could see why the young man was fawned over by many in Mondstadt. He really was too lucky to be going on a date with someone as dreamy as Diluc Ragnvindr.
On Diluc's side, he was internally panicking when Venti just looked at him with a surprised look without saying anything. Did he wear something wrong? Was Jean right after all about his dressing sense? But this outfit was Jean approved so it had to pass the vibe check, right? Right???
While Diluc was lost in his own thoughts, Venti finally spoke up, "You look amazing today, Master Diluc!"
Diluc tried his best to fight the blush threatening to overcome his face and replied without looking at Venti, "Th-thanks…you too…."
Venti chuckled, "Won't you at least look at me while you say that?"
Diluc felt his face flare up in embarrassment and immediately looked at Venti and tried to explain, "N-no I wasn't-I meant-"
He stopped short when he finally saw Venti's appearance. There wasn't much difference in his attire compared to his usual green clothing but today Venti had decided to discard his usual braids for a simple ponytail hanging down at the back of his head, there were still a few strands falling over his turquoise green eyes and Diluc had to resist the urge to brush them away with all that he had in him.
"You look beautiful."
The words were out before he could stop himself. Diluc realised how unimaginative he sounded but he couldn't help it. There really was no other way to describe Venti. He avoided looking at the bard's face after saying that and turned towards the entrance, "Shall we?"
Venti, who had been too flustered to speak after Diluc's comment finally managed to come to his senses and let out a low laugh. He stepped forward and wrapped his hands around Diluc's arm, "Let's go." He said with a smile.
Ignoring the heavy thumping of his heart at the gesture, Diluc nodded with a flushed face, simply because he knew that at the moment he could not speak without becoming a stuttering, blushing mess.
****
"Zhongli, surely I am not that old that my eyes would deceive me….but did Venti just blush?" Ei lifted her glasses over her head to get a better look at the couple, convinced that she must have seen wrong.
"I am sure that I saw him blush too." Zhongli said in an impressed voice, "The Ragnvindr youngster is full of surprises. I doubt I have seen anyone make Venti blush so vehemently with just a few words."
Ei nodded, "But we are still yet to see how he fares for the rest of the day."
Zhongli leaned forward on his hand, the sunlight glinted against his thick framed fake glasses, "Of course." He said while nodding slowly. The fake mustache felt itchy against his skin but he did not want to risk removing it and being recognised.
“Let’s go.”
****
Their first stop for the date was the Good Hunter cafe, after all every good relationship starts with a lovely shared meal. Venti was the one who suggested it and Diluc barely had the time to agree while he was already being dragged through the entrance.
“I come here often with Ei and Zhongli, their apple cider is amazing….well still not as heavenly as the one at Angel’s Share, but good enough!” He said excitedly.
Diluc couldn’t help the pride he felt when Venti mentioned that he still liked the apple cider at Angel's share the best. He didn't often bartend at the tavern but whenever he was lucky enough to bartend at the same time that Venti was visiting, he would always make sure to be extra conscious of the drinks he made…..not that he would admit that to anyone.
Once they settled down at a table close to the window, Venti spoke, "So? What would you like to have?"
"Whatever you would suggest." Diluc replied and immediately thought about how rude he sounded. He was about to apologise when Venti clapped his hands and grinned, "Great choice! I was about to recommend the caramel pudding! Oooh there's also grape soda, you might enjoy that, since grape juice is your favourite, right?"
Venti stopped and looked at Diluc expectantly. Diluc was taken aback for a moment, "How did you know that grape juice is my favourite?"
"Because you are always drinking it, Master Diluc," Venti laughed again, "I have heard that you aren't a fan of wine, but that doesn't stop you from making the best drinks in Mondstadt. I can vouch for that too!"
Diluc blinked in surprise. Venti had really noticed such a small detail about him? Could this mean that Venti was actually interested in him? At least a little bit?
"Hm? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Oh..uh, nothing….speaking of which….which is your favorite drink of choice? Besides wine, that is." Diluc was genuinely curious, although he already had an idea of what it could be.
"Apple cider!" Venti replied and Diluc was about to speak when a movement at the corner of his eye caught his attention.
Was it just his imagination or did a familiar head of blonde hair just dart past him?
Venti noticed his shift in attention and turned to look out the window.
And that's when he saw it.
He had the biggest urge to curse.
Those two fucking idiots.
Who the fuck. Just who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to let them just walk out their houses looking like the two shadiest people on the planet. And he nearly cried when he realised that Zhongli was wearing not only a fake mustache and fake glasses but a huge fucking fake nose too. Not even children would be stupid enough to wear that in public what the fuck. He was this close to praying to Celestia when the two of them took the newspapers thrown to the side and sat down with their faces hidden. It was fucking afternoon and those papers were days old not to mention that there was literally no lighting in the spot they were sitting in what the Celestia is wrong with them. And what the hell was Yae Miko thinking giving Ei the most suspicious batch of scarf and sunglasses he had ever seen in his life. It was freaking neon pink and the glasses were gold plated. She might as well be holding a board displaying the words "Notice me!!!" in the boldest font.
Taking a deep breath, he turned back to Diluc who was looking at him in confusion and worry.
"Venti, are you okay? You look distressed."
Venti's heart softened at the concern, "It's nothing, just something I remembered, shall we order?"
Diluc nodded and was about to reply when he finally noticed it.
He had to hold back a sigh. Diluc should have more or less expected it. But the whole excitement about going on a date with Venti had made him forget all about his best friend's over protective nature. And of all places, she chose to hide behind a recommendation board. Classic, Jean. Just classic.
Diluc looked back at Venti, "Would you excuse me for a moment? I will be right back."
Venti nodded, "Sure, I will order for you meanwhile."
"Thank you," he said as he stood up.
This could not have been a more perfect opportunity. Good thing Venti had already decided what he would like Diluc to try from the menu, so as soon as he was done ordering, he went to finally confront the two idiots who thought taking inspirations from a trashy children's magazine was a good way to spy on someone.
[Present]
Venti wasn't even surprised that Zhongli didn't notice him show up right behind him. The blockhead was texting Ei while she was sitting literally right next to him.
Upon reading the latest text Zhongli sent to Ei, Venti finally snapped,
“Or maybe you should stop spying on someone else’s date and mind your own business." The smile on Venti's face did not falter even as his two friends turned around in shock and nearly fell off their chairs.
Zhongli, being the idiot he was, tried to play it off cool, "I am afraid I do not know what you are talking about, stranger."
Ei, being the smart-ass she is, decided to go along with his charade, she cleared her throat, "Uh-huh, that's right….who are you and what do you want from us?"
Venti was this close to chucking the both of them off the topmost floor of the building. But being the patient person he was, all he did was reach forward and rip both of their pathetic cheap disguises right off their faces with a still smiling face, except there was now also a vein throbbing on the right of his forehead.
A dark shadow loomed over the smiling bard's face, "What do you guys have to say for yourselves?"
****
Jean made a run for it the moment she got Lisa's text but it was just her luck that the path she took had just been freshly mopped and she ended up slipping and landing face first on the floor. At least there was no one around to witness her pathetic fall.
Or so she thought.
"You deserved that." A familiar, tired voice spoke.
She got up and turned around with the fakest smile she could manage, "Oh my god! Fancy seeing you here, best friend!" Aaand she had already blown it up with the weird as fuck greeting.
Diluc's expression remained deadpan even as he heard those words.
Jean laughed awkwardly, "Aren't you going to say anything?"
Diluc sighed, "I don't know what to say."
And now the guilt hit her in full force, "Are you…..disappointed in me?" She asked in a low voice.
Diluc rolled his eyes, "Who am I? Your parent? Of course not, but care to explain why?"
Jean let out a sigh of relief, "Well this may seem stupid but I was just, uhhhn you know, just a little worried….."
Diluc shook his head, "I am fine, Jean. I know you are only trying to help….but really I am okay."
"I-I know….but you just seemed so nervous….and I know I shouldn't have- a good friend wouldn't do this I know but-"
"Jean." Diluc interrupted her, "Let me stop you right there. You are my best friend and nothing would change that. On another hand, I understand that you were worried and trying to help me. And you did. The reassurance you send me through your texts every time I feel low means a lot to me, you know? And even now, although it is a major breach of my privacy, I know you did it for my sake."
Jean felt emotional on hearing those words, holding back tears, she asked "So we good?"
Diluc scoffed, "I wouldn't dare pick a fight with you, Lisa would have my head for that."
Despite herself, Jean burst out laughing but then stopped short when she realised she abandoned her beloved somewhere in this maze of a shopping center.
Diluc smiled amusedly, he pretended to think for a while, "I believe I saw a beautiful woman with a purple hat standing by the movie theater, she gave me a message to pass onto her beloved dandelion, too bad I wouldn't know who that is. Do you, by any chance?"
Jean raised her eyebrows, "Oh! I wouldn't know either, but it would be a shame to leave a lady hanging. So being the gentlewoman I am, I will do the honorable job of accompanying her!"
Diluc nodded profoundly, "I'd expect no less from Master Gunnhildr."
Jean replied with a serious nod of her own, "Which does remind me that wasn't there a certain bard Master Ragnvindr was dining with? What a shame it would be to have kept his beloved waiting for longer than expected."
Jean smiled at the sudden flush that appeared on Diluc's face, "He isn't- we aren't-"
"Not yet," Jean provided, "But soon." Her smile turned mischievous, "See you later, Master Ragnvindr." And with that, Master Gunnhildr made her way towards the movie theater to accompany the love of her life.
Diluc opened his mouth and closed it again. Finally, when Jean's words caught up with him, he realized how long it had been since he left Venti at the Cafe and turned around to hurry to his date as soon as possible.
Beloved. The blush on his face deepened at the thought of using that word to refer to Venti.
****
"Well that worked out," Aether remarked while still readily holding the sack meant for Jean.
The twins were hiding behind the wall next to which Jean and Diluc had been talking.
Lumine nodded, "Better text Barbara that we won't be kidnapping her sister after all."
****
"We were-Uh…."
"Practising."
"Yes. That."
Venti's expression did not waver, "Oh? I see. And what for exactly? The new ballad?"
Zhongli nodded with the confidence of a thousand scholars, "Yes. That one."
"Mhm." Ei agreed.
Venti's smile grew colder, "The one titled, 'That time my idiot friends dressed up in the most ridiculous disguises to spy on me'?"
"Yes that on- wait there is a ballad like that?"
"There will be after I write it," Venti said through gritted teeth.
Ei looked at Zhongli as if waiting for him to say something. Zhongli looked back at Ei, as if expecting her to say something. The two stared at each other blankly while Venti felt another vein throb at the side of his head.
"Okay that's enough. We will talk about this later. You two are such idiots. I need to have a thorough talk with you guys about disguises and discretion and I can't do it now because I am on a date with someone I might actually really like a lot and I do not want to disappoint him by being MIA when he returns to the table."
Without waiting for either of them to reply, Venti turned around and started walking away.
"So-" Ei started
"Go.home." Venti said without looking back.
"Ah," Zhongli said while sipping onto his osmanthus tea which tasted the same as he remembered but where are those who shared the-
"SHUT.UP." Venti shouted one last time before disappearing from their sight completely.
"It seems we have touched a nerve," Zhongli said while taking another sip of his tea.
Ei looked at him with disbelief and incredulity clear, on her face, "Ya think???"
****
When Venti finally returned to the table, he was relieved to find that Diluc hadn't returned yet. Making himself comfortable, he picked up the menu again just to distract himself and let his annoyance at the two idiots die down.
He heard a cough and looked up to see Diluc sit down opposite to him, "Sorry….did I make you wait too long?"
Venti immediately felt his spirits lift up, "Not at all! Also, I ordered for both of us!"
Diluc let out a sigh of relief internally, "Thank you," he said.
Venti looked at him for a while and then spoke in a careful tone, "Say, Master Diluc-"
"You don't have to-"
"Huh?"
"I mean….you don't have to….address me by the title…..just Diluc is fine…" Diluc did not look Venti in the eye while he spoke those words, hoping the heat he felt on his face was not as visible as it felt.
Venti felt his heart soften again at the awkward sweetness of the young heir. Smiling, he continued, "Alright, then, Diluc,
would you be interested in accompanying me to a place after this?" He asked expectantly, "Although I have to warn you that it is quite a long way-"
"Yes." Diluc replied and immediately regretted it, "Did I speak too soon? Sorry- I, I just would have agreed regardless….I mean-" Diluc cringed when he spoke, realising how stupid and embarrassing he sounded, "It's something you suggested….I would have agreed to it anyways…." He ended lamely.
Venti blinked at Diluc's flushed face and smiled even more. Cute.
He then laughed, "I am thankful that you would have so much trust in me…but it's a really long way and time consuming too, are you up for it?"
Diluc nodded confidently, "I am sure I can take it."
****
Ei and Zhongli walked out of the mall with matching disappointed looks.
"So what now?" Ei asked while lifting the sunglasses above her eyes.
Zhongli hummed, "We go home?"
"Ah….alright…." Ei said.
Just then a familiar voice spoke up from behind them, "Good. While you are at it, take these with you too."
Ei and Zhongli turned around in surprise but before either could react, a large wriggling sack was tossed at each of them.
Lumine dusted her hand and spoke, "Now that everything is taken care of, excuse us."
Aether had a hand on his shoulder and was massaging it, "And maybe don't put your phones on dnd next time."
Zhongli, "....."
Ei, "...."
Before anyone could reply to the twins, the two blonde haired outlanders had already turned around and left.
The struggling sack in Zhongli's hands finally opened up to reveal a familiar bush of ginger hair at the same time that Ei's revealed a head of bright pink hair.
"Jhogbi jhanshen!" Childe exclaimed excitedly despite having a tape tightly bound over his mouth.
"Mmm! MMHMGHMMVEIF" This time it was Yae Miko's muffled voice that was speaking, or rather, attempting to speak against the tape on her mouth. She glared at the rope binding her hands and then looked at Ei expectantly.
Ei, who was only coming to terms with the bizarre situation in front of her right now, looked at Miko in puzzlement. Miko rolled her eyes and gestured wildly at her bound hands with her eyes.
"Oh!" This time Ei finally managed to understand what her fiancée was trying to convey. Setting the other down, she got to work and removed the ropes binding Yae Miko's hands and legs.
On the other hand, Zhongli had started by removing the tape on Childe's mouth.
"Zhongli xiansheng!!" He exclaimed.
Despite himself, Zhongli couldn't help but smile at the younger's enthusiasm, "Childe." He greeted back, "What are you doing here?"
"Oh….uh…" Childe sneaked a glance at Yae Miko who was still trying to signal to Ei to remove the tape on her mouth and smiled guiltily at Zhongli, "You see….it's a long story…."
Finally, the itchy tape was off Yae Miko's mouth, "Why would you take that long to remove the tape?! You should have started with that?!" The pink haired woman asked in annoyance.
Ei looked like she seemed to have had a realisation, "Ah..I didn't think of that…"
Yae Miko looked at her in disbelief.
****
Venti wasn’t joking when he said it was a long way. They had left the city behind them and had already traveled past the Whispering Woods. But Diluc did not feel like complaining or questioning Venti even once. Rather, he enjoyed the company of the older, singing and chattering away throughout their whole trip. Diluc did join in once in a while to speak his own matters or to answer Venti, but mostly he was content with hearing the bard’s voice rather than his own.
“Ah, we are here!” Venti exclaimed when they had finally trekked up a path filled with cecilias to the topmost point of Starsnatch cliff. The sun was setting and when Diluc looked at Venti surrounded by the soft orange glow of the dimming sky, he felt his heart skip a beat.
Wordlessly, Venti led him to the very edge of the Starsnatch cliff and sat down. Diluc tried his best to not combust at the thought of them sitting so close to each other, their shoulders nearly touching, their knees bumping against each others.
“Hm…the view is better at night, but the evening sky is quite a sight too, won’t you agree?” Venti mused as he watched the scenery with bright eyes.
Diluc followed his eyes to the sky and inhaled a sharp breath. Oh.
The ocean was dyed in a myriad of golden hues being reflected from the glimmer of the setting sun. The whole sky seemed to be dipped in an orange glow, there was a patch of dark sky slowly blending with the warm coloured clouds, welcoming the steady incoming of the dark night sky. A view like this……with all the trees and and the mountains, the lakes and the ocean, all blanketed by several shades of the dusky sun, Diluc knew that he could never have discovered something so beautiful on his own.
“Oh..” He whispered, this time loud enough for Venti to hear.
Venti gave a light laugh, “I come here often when I am at a loss for inspiration….it’s…a special spot for me..” He avoided looking at Diluc while he said the last part, not aware of the red flush that had occurred on his face.
Diluc felt his heart skip several beats and had to actually catch his breath for a moment, “Venti-” he started at the same time that Venti said, “Diluc-”
They both paused and looked at each other, Diluc blushed in embarrassment. Again. Venti only burst out laughing, “Please, do go on.”
Diluc cleared his throat, “Uh no…you first..”
“Alright!” Venti accepted, “So..uh…I am not, huh, I really don’t know what to say…..” Venti realized with a blank look on his face. Diluc raised an eyebrow at him, “Cat got your tongue, bard?” He asked with a smirk.
Venti gasped in mock surprise, “That’s probably the most you thing you have said the whole day!”
Diluc sputtered, “Wh-what..”
Venti, “Hm…you just seemed so unusually nervous today, Master DIluc, this isn’t quite like you. Although,” He looked carefully at Diluc while he said his next words with a smile, “I Find it quite adorable tehee~”
“I-that, well….I- I am bad at this…” Diluc admitted and decided well, they were at the end of the day, might as well say it, “I was very awkward…sorry…its just…I-I have never really done this before…at least not with someone I genuinely like….a lot.”
His gaze was fixed on the bowtie at Venti’s neck while he spoke, “And…I guess I let the nerves get to me…..because I like you…..I really really like you…Venti…” he ended, with his gaze still fixed on the black and white striped bow tie. Diluc felt like his heart would burst out his chest given how fast it was beating…but at least he did it…now whatever was Venti’s answer…he would- he would just deal with it….yeah, even if Venti decided that Diluc was not worth his time-
Diluc’s train of thought was cut off by a pair of warm hands cradling either side of his face and lifting it up so that his gaze was right on par with a pair of green eyes which shone like jewels in the soft evening light.
“Won’t you at least look at me while you say that?” The bard said with a smile. Venti leaned forward and placed his forehead against Diluc’s, “I like you too, Diluc….in fact…I really really really like you….so much that I could write a whole ballad about my fondness for you..” Which he already had apparently when drunk but that is not something he would admit to Diluc right now.
Diluc’s eyes widened when he heard Venti’s words, “Oh….” he said for the third time since arriving there. Venti chuckled, “May I kiss you?”
Venti could have sworn that Diluc’s face was nearly as red as his hair while he nodded, but he did not stop to notice it as he leaned forward with closed eyes and pressed his lips against the younger man’s.
Diluc wrapped an arm around Venti’s waist and pulled him closer to himself, deepening their kiss while doing so. He could feel his heart soaring and a myriad of thoughts running through his head. The most significant one being, how did he get so lucky?
****
Ei sipped on her dango milk while staring at Yae Miko with questioning eyes, “So you came all the way till here…..along with Tartaglia…..just to spy on us spying on Venti and Diluc?”
Yae Miko shrugged and pretended to admire her nails.
“Miko.”
“Fine. Okay….but I was bored…..and- pfft..”
“Miko…?”
“Sorry sorry….but…” Yae Miko looked at the love of her life in a neon pink scarf and the ridiculously large sunglasses and couldn’t help but burst into another fit of giggles. The thing was….when Miko wore the, coupled with her already bright hair, the scarf didn't stand out much…but on Ei’s dark hair…it just looked…..hilarious was an understatement.
“Babe stay still,” Miko said and whipped out her phone and snapped a picture of Ei before the other could refuse.
“What-Miko, who are you sending that to?”
“You will see.”
Ei heard a ping from her phone (she had turned off dnd after the encounter with the twins) and the first thing she saw was a message from her sister making fun of her attire.
Makoto: You might as well have carried a board saying notice me . One of her texts read.
Ei looked at Miko in betrayal, “Miko….” she pouted.
Yae MIko felt an arrow through her heart on seeing the cute expression on Ei’s face. Dammit, she really knew her weaknesses well. Yae Miko cleared her throat, “Do you want another serving of tri-colored dango?”
Ei’s face lit up, “Yes please!”
Yae Miko smiled coyly, “Well, then earn it~” She leaned forward and turned her cheek towards Ei and closed her eyes. When the kiss she was expecting was delayed for longer than expected, she opened her eyes and looked at Ei, “Ei?”
And that was when Ei leaned forward and grabbed Miko’s chin, pressing their lips together firmly. Yae Miko was too stunned to react, but Ei boldly leaned forward and tightened her hold on Miko. There were a few gasps and exclamations from people around them but Ei didn’t care, the passion in her kiss didn’t waver.
When she finally pulled back and placed her finger on her lower lip, her eyes were fixed on Miko, who was still red in the face and reeling from Ei’s abrupt display of affection.
“Will that be enough?” Ei asked with a smirk.

“Where do you want to go, Zhongli xiansheng?” Childe asked excitedly while walking next to Zhongli in the crowd.
Zhongli hummed, “Hm..I wouldn’t quite know, Childe…how about you suggest a place for us?”
Childe was more than happy to oblige, “So is this a date now?” He asked with a smile.
Zhongli answered him by reaching out for Childe’s hand and intertwining their fingers, he smiled as he spoke, “You tell me.”
Childe could feel his brain and his heart and his everything short circuit because of this simple gesture from his boyfriend. Come to think of it, they never did get to go on a proper date after their first one…only happening to meet every now and then to talk and enjoy each other's company.
“Childe?” Worry was evident in Zhongli’s voice as he called out the other man’s name.
“Huh? I mean-yes! I would like very much for this to be a date!” Childe declared while blushing furiously.
Zhongli smiled again and Childe decided that dear god this was not good for his weak weak heart.
“Me too,” Zhongli said, “Would you like to accompany me to Yuijing terrace? The glaze lilies will be in full bloom soon, it’s quite a beautiful sight…I would like to witness it with you.”
Childe’s heart swelled up with pure affection for the man next to him, he smiled and replied,“I would love to, Zhongli.”

“Well, everything worked out in the end I suppose.” Aether was still rubbing his aching shoulder as he and Lumine made their way towards the theater. The premiere was happening soon and he’ll be damned if he missed even a second of it.
Lumine sipped on her Rainbow aster as she juggled the two buckets of popcorn her brother had dumped on her by giving the excuse of being the ‘weaker’ twin. Bullshit. Lumine had argued. You are just lazy.
Ehe. Aether had replied and she had come this close to chucking everything in her hands at him. She didn’t though, after all she still needed his help to bake Ayaka’s cake.
“Yeah,” she agreed with his earlier statement, “Look, there’s Jean and Lisa in the front row.”
“Dammit. How’d they get so lucky? I wanted front row seats too!” Aether complained and Lumine shrugged, “Be grateful we at least got a seat given how late you made us.”
“Hey! It was your idea too!”
“Potato. Po-ta-to . Let’s go, it’s starting.”
Aether huffed in annoyance but followed his sister nonetheless.
Notes:
I actually dont remember the sunset view from starsnatch cliff very well but i know that the night sky looks wonderful so obviosuly the evening sky must be beautiful too, right??
Lol anyways, I might have to go on a longer break than usual this time since my quarterly exams are coming up soon and I havent even started preparing for them ;-; And I have plans to write a collection of Genshin ships as Classic/Disney fairytales AU and I have an idea of a tale for each ship and plan on starting it whenever my next vacation rolls in (October maybe) but hopefully I dont get side tracked and end up forgetting it...haha.
Oof and like i said earlier, I would love opinions on this so I can decide how to write another Extra chapter if I have to in the future and as always, thanks a lot for reading and commenting, it really boosts my motivation!!
Chapter 13: No bitches?
Summary:
*insert megamind face* no bitches?
Notes:
Suuuup y'alll my tests are over but my exams will be starting in a few weeks so I wanted to post at least one chapter before I disappeared into the void again
Also I have a very bad habit of finishing my chapters late in the night and posting them immediately without beta reading them hehe but dont worry by the time a day or two goes by after this update, it would be beta read and any errors corrected
All that aside, happy reading~!
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Diluc: I would never even think of hurting Venti in any way I have loved him for a long time and will continue loving him forever, in fact I consider myself very lucky to be with him I still can't believe someone as amazing as him is my boyfriend
Childe: damn bro that was so touching
Diluc: Tell anyone I said that and I will break ur neck
Childe: yikes fine calm down I wasn't planning to
Yae Miko: U better stick to those words or else
Diluc: I will.

[Adepti Family ヾ(*´ ∇ `)ノ]
Guizhong: So was someone going to tell me that Zhongli finally started dating that snezhnayan boy he was smitten with
Guizhong: OR WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIND THAT OUT MYSELF FROM MY GIRLFRIEND WHO FOUND OUT FROM HER SISTER WHO IS ALSO ZHONGLI’S FRIEND BUT IS SOMEHOW MORE UPDATED ABOUT HIS LOVELIFE THAN I AM. HIS FRIEND OF MORE.THAN.A.DECADE.
Xiao: Zhongli didn’t tell you?
Guizhong: NO??? THAT TRAITOR TOLD YOU GUYS???
Ganyu: Well to be fair his boyfriend did ask him out on the general chat
Ganyu: It was a Teyvat gc so ig u wouldnt know since u dont go to Teyvat academy
Guizhong: He could have told me in person or at least through a personal message ;-;
Zhongli: Yes I could have.
Zhongli: And I did.
Guizhong: No????
Zhongli: Guizhong.
Guizhong: Bitch why would I lie to you??
Yanfei: I just heard Mr. Zhongli let out the most tired sigh ever what happened
Zhongli: Yanfei, aren't you supposed to be in a lecture?
Yanfei: what who told u that
Xiao: U did
Ganyu: U told all of us this morning and I quote, “I’d rather kill myslef then listen to another boring lecture of Professor Istaroth.”
Ganyu: Why did you even take her subject if it tires you so much?
Yanfei: oh wait i did say that
Yanfei: ahhhh how was i supposed to know that study of horology meant sitting for hours together listening to an old woman drone on about the beginnings of teyvat and whatnot
Zhongli: Professor Istaroth is a respectable person, Yanfei, please do not slander her like that.
Yanfei: gahh okay
Zhongli: Now about why you are not in class.
Yanfei: Or we could talk about why u didnt tell Guizhong that u are dating Tartaglia
Zhongli: I did tell her.
Guizhong: WHEN
Zhongli: I sent you a selfie I took of me and Tartaglia on our first date and sent a corresponding text message saying that it was our first date.
Guizhong: That picture??? Was the two of you on a romantic date??? But you go out to dinners like that every three days or something???
Zhongli: I believe I sent a text saying we were on a date.
Guizhong: Platonic dates exist, Zhongli. And the two of you go out together so frequently it would have been hard to make out whether you guys were together or not either way
Zhongli: Ah I see, then it is a folly on my side, I will make sure to be more specific next time.
Guizhong: PLEASE DO
Guizhong: now all that aside when are u going to ask out that cute blonde outlander boy @Xiao
Xiao: I don’t know what u are talking abt
Guizhong: There's no need for pretense with me Xiao my boy, I already know everything
Xiao: How are u so kind and polite while talking irl but become Hu Tao 2.0 while texting
Yanfei: Objection. I will not stand for the slander of my girlfriend.
Guizhong: 2.0??? BITCH I AM THE ORIGINAL
Ganyu: So then is Hu Tao Guizhong 2.0?
Yanfei: Actually after hearing that I am scared of letting them meet now
Guizhong: No I want to meet her
Guizhong: She is Zhongli’s third hypothetical child right i should be allowed to meet her, it is my right as her hypothetical aunt
Guizhong: OH WAIT SO YANFEI IS ZHONGLI’S HYPOTHETICAL DAUGHTER IN LAW UR FATHER WOULD BE PROUD YANFEI
Yanfei: UHHHH I THINK U ARE THINKING TOO FAR GUIZHONG HU TAO AND I STARTED DATING ONLY RECENTLY
Ganyu: Should we make a hypothetical family gc for zhongli, childe and hu tao @Xiao
Xiao: we can leave childe out
Ganyu: That won’t do then who will be our second parent?
Xiao: We dont need one
Ganyu: Who hurt you
Xiao: Our father by deciding to date that damn ginger loser
Zhongli: Language, Xiao. I understand you are not very fond of Childe, but he is the person I love so I would still ask you to at least not call him rude names.
Zhongli: A hypothetical family group chat sounds like a great idea, Ganyu. I am sure Hu Tao and Childe would be delighted to join too.
Xiao: UGH
Xiao: i cant deal with this i am going offline bye
Guizhong: Smh kids and their emo phases these days
Zhongli: I just don’t understand why Xiao seems to despise Childe so much now. The other day I saw him ready to defend Childe’s honour. What changed?
Guizhong: He has looked up to you since we were kids. He’s just very over protective of you. Don’t think too much about it, Zhongli, I am sure he will come around eventually
Zhongli: Thank you Guizhong. I do hope he does.
Guizhong: He will, I am sure of it.
[Inazuman Comrades]
Aether: So what do yall think of Shikanoin Heizou?
Kujou Sara: No one likes him
Kazuha: He’s a good friend!
Gorou: Kazuha says tht about everyone his opinion is invalid
Kuki Shinobu: Heizou is annoying
Kokomi: I have met him only once he was pretty nice
Thoma: Heizou…..is a character i’d like to say
Lumine: Damn even Thoma what did he even do to yall
Kazuha: He’s just misunderstood
Thoma: Nothing! Just….he has a peculiar way of making conversation I think
Aether: We were thinking of adding him here if thats okay with yall
Kazuha: Yes!
Kokomi: Sure go ahead
Lumine added Heizou to [Inazuman Comrades]
Kujou Sara: Dont add Shikanoin he’ll only be a nuisance
Gorou: I agree with her for once he’s very nosy and makes people uncomfortable
Thoma: I dont think we shld be that harsh on someone even if we dont like them
Heizou: What a warm welcome! Can't say I didn't expect it!
Kujou Sara: …
Gorou: …
Thoma: …
Thoma: …its not what it looks like
Heizou: oh dont worry i already know all about it
Thoma: Ahaha I see…okay I have something important to do see u guys later bye
Aether: The whole chat
Aether: The whole chat went offline
Heizou: Nothing new
Kazuha: I am still here
Lumine: You are an angel Kazuha do u know that
Kazuha: I wouldnt go that far but thank u anyways
Kazuha: welcome to the chat @Heizou
Heizou: Lumine is right, u really are angel Kazuha, thanks for the welcome
[Private message]
Lumine: Buddy.
Lumine: Do you have any friends at all?
Heizou: Kazuha is my friend
Lumine: Kazuha is everyone’s friend by default so he doesnt count
Heizou: …
Heizou: Okay fine so some ppl find me unsettling and my methods of investigation unconventional so what I dont care as long as i can do my work in peace
Lumine: do all criminology majors think like that or is it just u
Heizou: Point is I am fine having you, aether and kazuha as my only friends i dont care abt the others
Lumine: Heizou, buddy
Lumine: u shld meet venti i think yall will get along
Lumine: and xiao idek why but u shld
Heizou: I appreciate u trying to get me more friends Lumine but I am fine really
Lumine: Is that a no to the drinking party we are having tonight
Heizou: Yeah not a fan of alcohol
Lumine: Kazuha will be joining
Heizou: sigh
Heizou: I will think about it
Lumine: YES
Heizou: I didn’t agree yet
Lumine: You will soon I know it I can feel it in my bones
[Inazuman Comrades]
Kokomi: Oh sorry I didn't mean to be rude I had something come up so couldnt look at the chat
Kokomi: Nice to meet u, Shikanoin, I am Sanganomiya Kokomi of Watatsumi island
Heizou: Same! And I have heard of you, Kujou’s girlfriend right?
Kokomi: Yes that's me!
Heizou: Okay so I need to tell you about this one time Kujou Sara got a text from you and was so flustered that she ended up tripping on thin air and fell face first onto the cold hard ground
Kokomi: Oh my god when did this happen?
Heizou: a few months ago, I didn't see it but being the genius detective I am, I figured out the situation when she walked into the morning class with a bleeding nose but a very satisfied smile on her face
Kokomi: Wow you sound smart
Kujou Sara: SHIKANOIN HEIZOU
Heizou: Well speak of the devil I must now leave urgently to investigate clues to a certain case before rain washes them away
Lumine: lmao gg
Kokomi: He seems like a nice guy. Why does no one like him?
Kujou Sara: Heizou is quite smart but I am afraid I could only ever get along with him as a colleague and not a friend
Thoma: Exactly. And I am too dumb, I doubt someone as intelligent as him would have time to listen to me ramble on about kitchenware and whatnot haha
Kuki Shinobu: Heizou has a talent of guessing what’s on people’s minds, he’s correct more than half of the time. That’s what makes him unsettling in my eyes
Lumine: Perks of being a part time private investigator ig, ngl sounds pretty useful in investigations
Kujou Sara: It is
Aether: How are you so sure of that?
Kujou Sara: Shikanoin and I are both training to join the Inazuman police force after university. We have a few classes together here and at the training center
Lumine: How are u guys juggling that AND university courses at the same time it sounds tough
Kujou Sara: Not really I enjoy doing it
Aether: yeah these are the type of ppl that scare me
Kokomi: Dont worry, you shouldnt be scared of Sara unless you are a criminal which I am sure you are not
Kokomi: You aren’t right
Lumine: Not at the moment
Kujou Sara: And what is that supposed to mean.
Aether: Heyyy Lumi did u feed the fish yet its time already oh no we didn’t feed Paimon too she should be hungry lets go!
Lumine: Riiiiggghhht we were supposed to do that let’s go let’s go
Itto: Istg those two are the most sus ppl I have ever seen
Ayato: Right? Especially Lumine. I dont like her at all
Yae Miko: Are you sure that’s not just because she is dating your sister, little one?
Ayato: Oh no not at all I don't mind that all! Really I am quite alright with it, even though I know Ayaka deserves much better and think about poisoning Lumine everyday
Thoma: Yes I deal with this shit on a daily basis
Ayaka: Big Brother you made Thoma curse
Ayato: Thoma is a grown adult capable of making his own choices. How is him cursing my fault??
Thoma: My lady, my lord, please calm down I dont understand why the two of you are bickering so much theses days
Ayaka: Oh no, did we make you worry Thoma? I am so sorry we will behave better from now on
Ayato: You have been working hard Thoma, why don’t you take a day off tomorrow and join me and Ayaka on a fun outing?
Thoma: There’s no need for u to go that far my lord I enjoy housekeeping so I dont mind really
Ayato: And I enjoy your company so won’t you join us for the sake of that at least?
Thoma: Oh
Thoma: I mean
Thoma: Haha sure yeah cool let’s go out why not
Ayaka: Lets go to the amusement park, Lumine and I were planning on going on a date there, you two can join us too
Ayato: Why is Lumine coming
Ayaka: Because I love my girlfriend
[Private message]
Ayaka: I am giving u an opening, take it!
Ayato: But I dont want it to be at the cost of you going on a date with Lumine
Ayaka: That’s my reward actually but thats not the point SAY U WILL GO OR I WILL THROW OUT YOUR BOBA STASH
Ayato:WHY ARE YOU THREATENING ME WITH THAT I WASN’T PLANNING ON REFUSING IN THE FIRST PLACE
Ayaka: Oh you weren't?
Ayato: I wasn’t
Ayato: It has been a long time since Thoma and I got to spend time alone together
Ayato: I don’t know when I will confess my feelings to him or how I will do it but all I know for now is that I love every minute that I spend with him so even if you asked me, I wouldn’t refuse any opportunity to be in Thoma’s presence
Ayaka: Ayato….I hope you know that you two deserve each other
Ayato: Well
Ayato: Only time will tell
Notes:
How are you guys liking Sumeru so far? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Besides the fact that the archon quest was very interesting, the terrain of Sumeru, the new animals, DENDRO ELEMENT, new exploration material everything is just so fun and amazing adksjgd and THE MUSIC AHH WHEN I TELL U IT FEELS LIKE HOME. Genshin impact really never disappoints when it comes to new areas and new music and new story lines I am having so much fun doing the new events too and ahhh I cant wait to have a pet seelie.
That aside, did u guys get the characters yall were pulling for?? I had to skip the first phase banners since my pity is high and I really want Ganyu TT but its a 50/50 and my shitty luck made me lose my previous two 50/50s TT Hopefully it will be different this time ooof
Anyways, all the best on your pulls!! Hoping you guys get the characters you want!!!

Ningguang: Beidou
Beidou: yes babe?
Ningguang: I have reasons to believe that our son
Ningguang: Has a crush
Beidou: Oh my god my boy is growing up
Beidou: Who is it who is it
Ningguang: I was unfortunately not able to find that out
Nigguang: But no worries I am going to hire a well known detective to find out about it for us
Beidou: Uh Ning wait calm down isn't that a bit too much
Ningguang: I just want to make sure it's not anyone dangerous I won't do anything out of the line don't worry
Beidou: why dont we just ask him
Ningguang: That won't work beidou imagine how awkward it would be talking to your parents about your crush
Beidou: Okay that makes sense but isn't hiring someone to spy on him a bit over the top
Ningguang: No one is going to spy on anyone, the detective will only have to figure out his crush that is all
Beidou: Yeah you won't listen to me will you
Ningguang: <3
Beidou: At least tell me who you are hiring
Ningguang: Oh you know
Ningguang: That Inazuman boy
Ningguang: Shikanoin Heizou
[Private message]
Heizou: How do you get a rich Liyuen lesbian to stop pestering you about following her self proclaimed son, who also happens to be your friend, around to figure out who he is in love with
Lumine: What sorta life are you living bro
Heizou: I LITERALLY TOLD HER NO SO MANY TIMES BECAUSE KAZUHA IS MY FRIEND BUT SHE WON'T LISTEN
Lumine: Oh its Ningguang
Lumine: lmao atb she's the most stubborn woman I have ever seen
Lumine: So how much did she offer you
Heizou: I don't know and I don't care just tell me how to throw her off my trail
Heizou: Everytime I block her on one chat she contacts me through another
Lumine: Ye she's rich af
Lumine: What does she want you to do?
Heizou: Find out who Kazuha likes
Heizou: I didn't even know Kazuha had someone he liked
Lumine: You sound disappointed
Heizou: No I don't
Lumine: Hmm
Lumine: Tell u what
Lumine: Accept it
Heizou: Excuse me?
Lumine: It's just to find out Kazuha's crush right
Heizou: And to judge whether or not this the said person is I quote, "Dangerous, shady or in any way a threat to Kazuha"
Heizou: I am hundred percent sure Kazuha can take care of any threats by himself this is literally so unnecessary
Lumine: all the more reason to accept it
Lumine: she just asked you to judge the character of the person, not to reveal their identity
Lumine: Which means you will not be revealing Kazuha's secret but only whether or not the one he likes is a good person
Heizou: It still means I have to pry into his personal life
Lumine: Or you just happened to find out about it in passing because you two are good friends
Heizou: …..
Lumine: Heizou
Lumine: Look me in the eye and tell me you don't want to know who Kazuha is in love with
Heizou: Love is a strong word don't you think
Lumine: I wouldn't know that's for you to figure out
Heizou: Sigh
Heizou: Do you think she will accept my terms of not revealing the concerned party's identity to her?
Lumine: Ningguang is a reasonable woman, I am sure she will
[Private message]
Heizou: I’ll accept your commission but I have certain conditions
Ningguang: Speak
Heizou: (1) Before your hired private investigator, I am Kazuha’s friend so I will not be prying into his personal life to find out his secret
Ningguang: Well of course I am aware that you are smart enough to figure it out without nosing into Kazuha’s private life
Ningguang: That's why I hired you
Heizou: Flattering but anyway
Heizou: (2) You only asked me to be a judge of character so upon finding about this person I will only tell you whether they are a threat or not. I WILL not reveal their identity to u
Ningguang: Sounds fair enough
Ningguang: I just want what's best for Kazuha nothing more
Heizou: Alright then this officially seals our agreement
Lumine created [New Groupchat]
Lumine added Aether, Heizou, Kazuha, Xiao and Venti to [New Groupchat]
Lumine changed [New Groupchat] to [5wirl]
Lumine: This was Venti's idea not mine so if y'all wanna chase someone down with pitchforks it's him not me
Lumine: Also I am staying because drama
Aether: All of them are too drunk to even realize it
Venti: Hoooooooossssssssssss druunklkjo noy meeeee
Xiao: Not another one
Lumine: lmao Xiao never drinks i forgot
Lumine: Why tho I’ve been meaning to ask
Aether: Is it because you are a lightweight??
Xiao: ….
Xiao: I don’t need to answer any of your questions
Lumine: Tch
Lumine: Emo
Xiao: ….
Venti: WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINhkjhui
Aether: You had enough Venti
Venti: nmooooooooooooooiopu
Lumine: It’s no use he’s wasted
Xiao: I don't suppose I will be able to leave this group chat either
Aether: Hehe Nope
Lumine: You are welcome to try tho
Xiao: I’d rather save my energy for driving you all back home
Lumine: As you should
Aether: As you should
Venti: SD tyshkdf d
Aether: Yeah Imma call Diluc to pick u up
[Private message]
Lumine: So….. ?
Heizou: Okay fine they were nice it was nice
Lumine: Mhm and what, exactly, was nice?
Heizou: ……drinking with new people
Heizou: ……making friends
Heizou: It was cool
Lumine: Ayyy it worked
Lumine: Now tell me what u think of each of them
Heizou: Venti is the oldest one here and he looks and acts very cheerful but is actually very depressed deep down, my intuition tells me it's because he lost someone very close to him at a young age. He drinks alcohol as a means of escapism, shows signs of imposter syndrome. Overall a very nice guy, maybe should start giving himself a little more credit rather than just hating on himself.
Lumine: ……I meant what you think of them…..not a whole analysis of their personalities
Heizou: Ohhhhh you mean whether I have something positive to say about them?
Lumine: Bro….
Lumine: Nvm did you enjoy it?
Heizou: Oh yeah! Man alive, that was the most fun I have had in ages!
Lumine: That's good to know, we will be having get togethers like this more often so don't miss out
Heizou: Uhhh I'll see
Lumine: Say you will join us
Heizou: I can't guarantee it
Lumine: You don't want me to send Kazuha to pick u up everytime do you now
Heizou: Actually
Heizou: That doesn't sound so bad
Lumine: Huh I was only kidding but ooohkay ig
Heizou: Another thing
Heizou: There is something going on between your brother and that emo Liyuen, isn’t there?
Lumine: Lmfaooo not you calling Xiao an Emo too
Heizou: Look usually I can make out stuff easily whether they are dating or not but these give out such mixed signals that even I, great detective Shikanoin Heizou, am left confused
Lumine: Is it because Xiao was glaring daggers at everyone but immediately softened once Aether showed up
Heizou: Yeah but then they sat so far away from each other, and kept sneaking glances at each other the whole time
Lumine: But they wouldn’t talk
Heizou: But they wouldn't talk! Exactly!
Heizou: And then you have Aether getting drunk and literally leaning his whole weight on Xiao who doesn’t look bothered in the least
Lumine: But then he immediately pushed Aether away once someone pointed it out
Heizou: And very gently too, not to mention he made him lean against you instead as comfortably as possible
Lumine: Yeah that’s Xiao for you
Lumine: Wait you noticed all this while drunk
Heizou: You’d be surprised to know I am actually a heavy weight
Heizou: And another thing-
Heizou: I swear I saw him leaning towards Aether and whispering something in his his ear
Lumine: Huh when did that happen
Heizou: Y'all fell asleep in the car, including Aether, that’s when he leaned over and whispered something, I didn't hear what tho, cause you know, invasion of privacy and all
Lumine: Oh my god if Aether heard about this he would combust
Heizou: So you are not gonna tell him?
Lumine: What sort of a supportive sister would I be if I didn’t tell him of course I will tell him first thing he wakes up tomorrow
Heizou: Wait did you drink at all
Lumine: Yeah but I can handle more glasses than my brother soo
Lumine: Will have a terrible hangover tomorrow though
Heizou: Get some rest buddy
Lumine: Yeah yeah and you too
[Private message]
Ayaka: I can't help but feel that Lumine is avoiding me
Ayato: Good
Ayaka: Excuse me??
Ayato: Ahem, I mean you two are going on a date tomorrow aren't you? Why don't you ask her then
Ayaka: It's a double date Ayato. You and Thoma are coming along too
Ayato: That doesn't change anything
Ayaka: I know, I am just reminding you to not chicken out at the last moment
Ayato: I would never
Ayaka: Now that's the big brother I know
Ayaka: You know the consequences if you chicken out
Ayato: You weren't serious about that
Ayaka: Who knows, maybe I was, maybe I wasn't

Lumine: FA
Aether: A LONG LONG WAY
Cyno: Alright alright I get it
Cyno: In light of your recent help towards the smuggling case I was investigating I'll overlook the fact that you had in fact typed Dori, instead of Dore
Lumine: Thanks Cyno my man you're the best
Cyno: You still however have to answer a question of mine
Aether: Uh sure go on
Cyno: Why shouldn't you trust atoms
Lumine: What
Tighnari: Oh lord of dendro not this again
Aether: …..why?
Cyno: Because they make up everything!
Cyno: Get it??? Because atoms are the primary unit of all things, so they literally make up everything??? Because everything is made of atoms?? And saying you shouldn't trust them because they make up everything is actually a play on the words and
Cyno: This is Tighnari, I have seized Cyno's phone for the time being no need to thank me
Aether: You are doing God's work
Aether: Please don't tell cyno I said that
Tighnari: Wasn't planning on
Dehya: Lmfao you are literally the only one who can keep him in check
Lumine: It's called ✨️boyfriend privileges✨️
Tighnari: What
Tighnari: Cyno and I aren't together
Aether: Dafuq
Dehya: Nah they be trolling we been knew
Paimon: Almost got Paimon there!
Tighnari: It's the truth
Kaveh: Yeah I don't know what goes on or what this gc is for or who the fuck some of u are but Tighnari and Cyno not being a thing has got to be the biggest fucking lie I have ever heard
Alhaitham: Language Kaveh
Kaveh: Fuck you Alhaitham
Alhaitham: Maybe later
Tighnari: THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE YOU BIG LUMMOXES
Dehya: Tf is a lummox
Cyno: It's one of Tighnari's favourite words to insult people with
Cyno: it just means u are an idiot btw
Dehya: How do u know that
Dehya: Yall living together or smth
Collei: Yeah we all live together
Dehya: ??? When did yall adopt a kid
Tighnari: a long while ago
Cyno: Long before Collei joined highschool actually
Nilou: So you ARE together
Tighnari: ???? No?? Why would u assume that?
Nilou: Well because you have adopted a kid together??
Tighari: Well she was Cyno's ward earlier but knowing him he probably wouldn't have been able to do it on his own so I decided to co parent Collei with him
Cyno: And so we made it legal to have joint custody of Collei
Aether: Why do I feel like y'all are gonna next say that you are married too
Tignari: Ah no that would be Kaveh and Alhaitham
Lumine: TFFFF?????
Dehya: THE FUCKING WHAT NOW
Kaveh: WAIT WTF HOW DO U KNOW THAT
Tighnari: You called me to be the witness
Alhaitham: ….
Rukkahadevata: Oh cool you have my blessings children
Collei: ….congratulations?
Alhaitham: Please don't congratulate us we were drunk and it was the biggest mistake of my life
Nilou: I thought you guys hated each other?
Kaveh: WE DO
Alhaitham: I would rather be married to a tree than him
Aether: Why didn't u guys just annull it?
Kaveh: WE WANTED TO
Kaveh: Fuck I even suggested to him right away
Alhaitham: I said our reputation would be tarnished if word got out so it would be best to just forget about it and pretend it never happened
Dehya: So what about annullling it now since everyone knows
Lumine: Or you could just trust us and let it be
Lumine: since none of us are, you know, snitches?
Aether: Not to mention there's barely like twenty people here so
Alhaitham: So long as it's never brought up again ugh
Kaveh: It should literally be me saying that I can't believe I am stuck being legally married to YOU of all people
Alhaitham: You mean the guy who gave you a place to stay after you got kicked out of yours?? Yes you are very much welcome Kaveh
Kaveh: I DIDNT ASK YOU TO AND I STILL PAY HALF THE RENT
Alhaitham: It's my house you are supposed to pay FULL rent, TO ME
Alhaitham: But given your drinking habits that probably won't be happening anytime soon
Kaveh: Don't bring my drinking into this you asshole
Alhaitham: Why? Don't want to flaunt your alcoholism now is it? Oh and a gentle reminder that I also pay for those drinks for yours that you chug down like water
Lumine: Hm….now who does this remind me of
Aether: I think they definitely have a better relationship than whatever these two got going
Lumine: Yeah Diluc would literally personally mix and serve the drinks if Venti asked
Aether: Ikr
Dehya: Wait wait so Kaveh and Alhaitham (1) live together (2) are legally married (3) hate each other but for some damn reason Alhaitham also pays for Kaveh's drinks????
Dehya: Nahhh cause y'all clearly have some issues you need to work on
Kaveh: HE stole my heating apparatus to COOK FOOD
Kaveh: LIKE LITERALLY!!! IMAGINE USING EXPENSIVE LABORATORY EQUIPMENT FOR COOKING??
Alhaitham: I literally got you another one why are you still complaining
Kaveh: BECAUSE WHICH IDIOT SEES A BUNSEN BURNER AND GOES AH YES PERFECT FOR MY GRILLED CHICKEN
Aether: Alhaitham apparently
Rukkhadevata: Okay okay now let's all calm down children
Lumine: Stop talking like an old woman oh my god 😭
Rukkhadevata: Never
Candace: If I may say something that is not about whatever messed up stuff the eccentric scholars have got going
Rukkhadevata: Go ahead Candace
Candace: Cyno and Tighnari (1) get along very well (2) adopted a kid together(voluntarily) (3) live together (also voluntarily) (4) from what I have seen clearly trust the other with their life
Candace: (5) Tighnari is the only one Cyno listens to (6) Cyno randomly showed up with a kid one day and Tighnari's only reaction was ah yes this is now our daughter and we will raise her together like one big happy family
Candace: And you guys are still not together??
Tighnari: Well when you put it like that
Cyno: It's complicated
Collei: It really isn't
Tighnari: Collei?
Collei: The two of you just make it seem more complicated than it is
Tighnari: What do you mean
Collei: ….
Collei: Sorry you will just have to figure it out on your own I need to go check Cuilein Anbar now bye bye
Tighnari: Huh
Cyno: Collei don't forget to be home before six it's quite dangerous around the forest after dark
Collei: I am literally a forest ranger in training dad
Collei: MASTER CYNO*******
Collei: I MEANT MASTER CYNO****** I AM SO SORRY MY KEYBOARD JUST AUTO CORRECTED THAT
Cyno: It's alright Collei I wouldn't mind it even if it wasn't a mistake
Alhaitham: Cyno of all people can actually sound that polite?
Cyno: For the sake of Collei I am gonna hold myself back from saying anything to you at all
Cyno: Come home safe Collei
Collei: YES MASTER CYNO
Cyno: You don't have to call me Master Cyno even over text, Collei
Cyno: Actually I already told you not to call me that at all
Tighnari: Cyno is right, before being your teachers, we are your guardians
Collei: I knowww but it just feels disrespectful to call you by your names especially now that I am older and know better
Tighnari: Take your time, there's no hurry, we'll wait
Cyno: Yes, I agree with Tighnari. You should go at your own pace, what matters most is your comfort
Collei: Thank you dads
Collei: MASTER CYNO AND MASTER TIGHNARI***************
Collei: I AM SO SORRY I DONT KNOW WHY I KEEP DOING THAT
Tighnari: Haha no need to apologise we don't mind
Cyno: Yeah we were aparent about it after all
Tighnari: Cyno.
Cyno: What? That was funny! Let me explain
Tighnari: please don't
Collei: It WAS funny but you don't have to explain it Master Cyno
Cyno: Well as long as it made you laugh
Collei: It did, thank you
Lumine: You guys make a lovely family I hope you know that
Cyno: Yes I am aware
Cyno: I am very proud of them
Tighnari: Look at you acting all sentimental
Cyno: You two mean a lot to me, why won't I?
Tighnari: Cyno…
Layla: UM UM SO SORRY TO INTERRUPT THIS WHOLESOME FAMILY MOMENT BUT SOME IDIOT BROKE INTO THE GREENHOUSE AND NOW EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE IF ANY OF YOU GUYS HAD SOMETHING IMPORTANT THERE BETTER HURRY UP BEFORE IT GETS BURNT TO ASHES
Tighnari: WAIT MY RESEARCH NOTES ON MUSHROOMS ARE THERE
Cyno: We can still save them if we hurry
Lumine: Nice can't wait to introduce y'all to the Teyvat gc
Notes:
So I lost my 5050 on Ganyu's banner to Jean at 75 buuuut Ganyu came home in 35 pulls so win win! Hah but also because this game hates me despite all the time I spend on it I lost my 5050 on Cyno's banner to Diluc at 78 which sucks because I really wanted Cyno for a long long time but oh well what's done is done I will just make sure to get him at any cost on his next rerun!
Anyway, the Desert region is LIT like brooo the OST?????? The new enemies???? All those beautiful ruins??? And the new Archon Quest OMG Amdhjdkjed in short, this version is amazing!!! I love everything!!! What abt y'all??? Are you enjoying the new region and quests??? And how did your pulls go??
P.S. Managed to get c3 Candace hehehehe I just love her so much she can have my life my soul and my everything
Chapter 15: Ohana means family
Summary:
And remember folks, families come in all shapes and sizes
Notes:
I know I said somewhere in the earlier notes that this chatfic doesn't have a set plot whatsoever but I think I am slowly getting there, I have notes and dialogue ideas and everything so progress!
On another note, my exams were supposed to get over today but fate likes toying with me so my last exam got postponed to nearly a week after TT Which means another week of endless stress for me TT But obviously I won't start right away and will take my time to get check up and finish the current events and spiral abyss for the version heheee.
(As usual, the chapter's not yet beta read but will be in a day or two!)

Cyno: Collei you are not allowed to curse again and Tighnari LANGUAGE in front of the kid at least
Tighnari: Sorry will watch my mouth next time
Collei: Sorry I won't do it again
Cyno: Good that you know it
Kazuha: What an interesting dynamic
Kazuha: Are you guys a family?
Collei: In a way. Master Cyno and Master Tighnari adopted me when I was young and are now my dads
Collei: NO WAIT I MEANT GUARDIANS***** OH GOD
Collei: GUARDIANS**** WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS
Yoimiya: But aren't they ur dads anyways if they adopted you
Collei: Well yes
Collei: Wait no I mean
Collei: Uh
Collei: Um
Tighnari: We never had this conversation with Collei, so I understand she'd be confused
Cyno: Collei you don't have to worry about how you address us, you know we care about you regardless right?
Collei: I know it's just
Collei: Uhh I think we better talk about this some other time
Tighnari: Maybe in person?
Collei: Yeah
Cyno: Alright
Cyno: Now, why shouldn't you trust Stairs?
Tighnari: Cyno.
Collei: Um why?
Cyno: Because they are always up to something!!! Get it??? Because a staircase can take you upstairs so they are always leading upwards, which can be said as they are up to something which also means that they are suspicious. Isn't it so funny?
Xiao: wtf that was the lamest joke I ever heard
Itto: BWHAHAHAHHAAA WAIT THAT WAS ACTUALLY FUNNY
Albedo: I found it pretty amusing too
Cyno: Wait really? I have more if u wanna listen
Aether: Not here please god not here
Lumine: Hey uh Cyno my man why don't u save the rest for later, eh?
Cyno: Sure
Cyno: I wanted to tell you a joke about clocks but I suppose it's about time
Itto: WAAAIT I GOT THAT ONE LMAFOOO THAT WAS ACTUALLY FUNNY @Yoimiya LOOK
Kuki Shinobu: I can't believe u got that joke
Itto: Hey what's that supposed to mean
Yoimiya: LOL ABOUT TIME??? That was genius
Tighnari: Oh my god ppl who like Cyno's jokes actually exist
Collei: I like Master Cyno's jokes
Tighnari: You don't count Collei
Cyno: My jokes are quite punny if I do say so myself
Xingqiu: AN excellent play on words! Do you have more?
Cyno: Have an ajilenakh nut, and I'll ca-shew later.
Xingqiu: Oh that was a good one
Itto: Wait I didn't get it this time
Cyno: Let me explain
Tighnari: Cyno I am locking you out of the house if you continue
Cyno: Ruffled your fur, did I?
Tighnari: I am gonna skin you
Cyno: Okay I'll stop
Alhaitham: Coward
Tighnari: Stfu or u will be next
Alhaitham:
Lumine: The man was too stunned to speak
Aether: lmao deserve
Thoma: Oh wow new people!
Thoma: Nice to meet you guys! I am Thoma from the Kamisato Estate!
Candace: Hello, I am Candace from Aaru village
Tighnari: Tighnari from Gandharva Ville
Rukkhadevata: You kids know me!
Scaramouche: Wait who tf added her here I thought this was a students only chat

Yae Miko: Your son's failing his biology class
Ei: Again?
Scaramouche: ??? I literally took Biology this year???
Ei: Oh wait, then which one did you fail last year?
Kaveh: Architecture
Kaveh: I know because we were in the same class
Scaramouche: Is everyone from the Sumeru akademiya a damn snitch
Dehya: Is every brat from Inazuma so fucking rude as you???
Scaramouche: What did you say you sucker???
Scaramouche: wth
Scaramouche: sucker*
Scaramouche: the heck
Scaramouche: ????
Scaramouche: HECK
Dehya: Lmfao what are you? A middle schooler??
Scaramouche: HECK OFF
Dehya: LMAO
Scaramouche: NO WTH
Ei: Someone pls get to him before he breaks another phone
Ei: @Yae Miko what did u do
Yae Miko: Something goes wrong with ur son and u immediately assume it's me <//3
Yae Miko: But yea I enabled swear word censor on his phone using mine hehe <33
Lumine: Yae Miko the girl boss we all need so true
Ei: How did you do that??
Yae Miko: With the help of our dear traveler twins who hacked into his system and installed a parental control app for me
Aether: She paid us so
Nilou: Families…..really do come in all shapes and sizes
Lumine: You'd be surprised
Nilou: Actually is this the general chat? Who do we have here exactly?
Aether: Well it was supposed to be
Lumine: But we uh got a little carried away
Aether: So we have students from everywhere with a bunch of highschoolers and maybe a professor
Yoimiya: Professor??? Who????
Yoimiya: Wait we have highschoolers too
Xiangling: Ooh it's me!! Me, Xingqiu and Chongyun all go to the same highschool!!
Xiangling: Xinyan and Hu Tao used to go with us but they are older than us so they graduated a year ago
Bennett: Me, Fischl and Razor go to the same highschool!!
Bennett: Barbara and Noelle too!!
Lumine: We don't have highschoolers from Inazuma I just realised
Aether: Yeah same
Collei: Am I the only one from Sumeru?
Aether: It seems like it for now
Layla: Wait so uh @Bennett if u are a highschooler how did u get into the greenhouse at the uni?
Bennett: Oh it's a long story
Bennett: Sorry again
Layla: Oh it's okay, don't worry, not much damage done I keep most of my research notes at the Sumeru Akademiya anyways
Lumine: Wait then why are you here
Layla: I visit here once in a while for special lectures from Prof. Istaroth
Keqing: Wait, you mentioned there's a professor here who's that?
Rukkahadevata: Oh hello that's me! I have phDs in several fields but prefer teaching botany and silvology
Beidou: Oh isn't that the class Kazuha is taking
Kazuha: It is
Zhongli: Greetings, Rukkahadevata, I see your teaching career is still going strong.
Rukkhadevata: Indeed it is! I must say though I didn't expect all three of you to show up here again at the same time!
Zhongli: I didn't expect it either, to be honest.
Aether: ???
Aether: You two know each other?
Lumine: And wdym again
Venti: Oh heyaaaa it's been a while @Rukkhadevata
Rukkahadevata: Venti! Are you sure you really don't want to take my class this semester?
Venti: Maybe next time when Ei's demonspawn kid isn't in the class too
Scaramouche: What the heck did u just call me???
Scaramouche: AH HECK
Scaramouche: HECK
Scaramouche: @#%%@^@^@^#
Venti: Anyway
Venti: To answer your question @Lumine
Venti: Rukkhadevata, Zhongli, Ei and I are all from the same highschool and studied in years more or less close to each other
Kaeya: Wait a damn minute
Kaeya: Won't that make you as old as professor
Venti: Uh yeah?
Venti: I hope you kids know that Zhongli, Ei and me are not actually fresh highschool graduates or smth
Zhongli: Indeed, we each got our preferred doctorate years ago, along with a few other degrees up until now.
Venti: Zhongli wanted a teaching license in Art History so that he could teach here as a professor and I was bored so u thought I'll tag along
Venti: We managed to convince Ei to join us because Miko was studying here lol
Lisa: Never thought I'd say this but with all due respect, why the fuck would anyone want to do that
Jean: You are one to speak Lisa
Lisa: Babe these ppl are crazier than me u gotta accept that
Jean: I mean I'd say that's just you in the future
Lisa: NO
Lumine: So what do u guys plan on doing after graduating from ur 12456764435677th degree
Zhongli: That's an impossible number of degrees to have.
Hu Tao: Sarcasm peepaw
Zhongli: Ah, in that case, like Venti said, I'll obtain a teaching license and join the faculty here.
Venti: Imma go back to my music career and Ei's gonna go back to handling her Family business along with Makoto
Aether: Isn't Makoto a student too? If she's the same age as Ei why hasn't she graduated yet?
Ei: Ah that's on me, I suggested that Makoto and I should do a course together for mutual benefit but she ended up choosing Celestia Academy while I chose Teyvat Academy
Aether: So who's managing the family business in y'all's absence?
Ei: Our friend Saiguu and others
Lumine: That’s quite a number of revelations I gotta say
Kaeya: ayo wait @Venti what music career??
Xiao: You guys dont know?
Kaeya: You do?
Xiao: I am literally not even from Mondstadt but yeah I do
Ganyu: Oh no no let me butt in to say that he MORE THAN KNOWS
Xiao: GANYU WHAT ARE U DOING
Ganyu: NO I NEED TO TELL THEM
Ganyu: SO BACK WHEN WE WERE IN HGHSCHOOL XIAO WAS A BIG FAN OF BARBATOS’ MUSIC
Barbara: Oh but who wouldn't be, he’s a sensation in the music industry after all
Yae Miko: Pfft they really don’t know
Yae Miko: Ur juniors are cute Venti
Jean: Actually I know
Jean: Lisa and Diluc know too
Kaeya: ???
Kaeya: Know what??
Venti: Nothing very important dont worry
Childe: Now why does this read like a conspiracy theory thread
Lisa: I think the travelers know too
Aether: we do, and are frankly a bit surprised that even though Ei said it right on the general chat no one either noticed or didn’t realise it
Yoimiya: Oh now I am curious what are you guys talking about??
Mona: I realised it, I am not the genius astrologist Mona Megistus for no reason you know
Lumine: Yeah yeah we know
Lumine: If Childe was a *little* smarter he’d have figured it out too
Aether:Pity he isn’t
Childe: Ohhkay so I am being roasted here for being dumb nothing new now will anybody tell me what’s going on
Ganyu: Everything aside do you guys know that Xiao owned a shirt with the words “BARBATOS’ MUSIC SAVED ME” written in big bold letters on the front?
Xiao: WTF NO
Ganyu: 100 per cent sure he still owns it
Aether: NO WAY OMG @Venti u seeing this
Venti: Heyheyhey leave the poor boy alone he has good taste in music so what?
Aether: I'm just genuinely surprised Xiao enjoys Barbatos’ music of all types
Venti: Like I said ✨good taste✨
Barbara: Hey I agree! I have been a fan of Barbatos since I was a kid!
Ganyu: But do own a teal colored T-shirt saying “BARBATOS’ MUSIC SAVED ME” in big bold letters
Barbara: ……no
Xiao: If anyone asks I died in a ditch and it’s all Ganyu’s fucking fault
Ganyu: @Zhongli Dad Xiao is cursing again
Hu Tao: Lmao tough luck dad isn’t gonna be checking his phone for a while
Ganyu: What why what happened
Xiao: Is it that fucking ginger again?
Hu Tao: You mean our step dad? Yeah he took dad out for a date
Xiao: Where
Hu Tao: Now why would u think that I would tell u the answer to that
Xiao: ….
Xiao: Where
Ganyu: You sound like a broken recorder
Keqing: I didn't know Ganyu had a mean side to her too
Ganyu: Oh sorry was it too much I didn't mean to be that mean
Xiao: Tf
Keqing: What no! Not at all, everytime I find out something new about you I fall in love even more so what I am trying to say is that it's nice to see more sides of you
Keqing: I realise now how cringe that sounded lemme just
[Action denied]
Keqing: What the fuck I can't even delete my own messages????
Lumine: I mean why would u wanna delete that that's a pretty sweet msg
Aether: Fr so poetic from you of all ppl

Shenhe: BUT SHE MADE U CRY
Keqing: YES BABE SHE'S RIGHT I DESERVE TO DIE
Ganyu: THOSE WERE HAPPY TEARS
Keqing: Oh
Shenhe: You can cry from happiness?
Ganyu: Yes and Keqing's text made me so happy that I was overwhelmed with tears she didn't hurt me rather she makes me so happy I can't quite describe it in words
Keqing: Are you sure you are okay? Where are you rn? I am coming over
Ganyu: In my dorm room you can come over right now if you want
Keqing: Coming
Yae Miko: It's still daytime so remember to keep your voices down
Ganyu: MIKO
Jean: THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE
Yae Miko: What I was just telling them speak in low voices what's wrong with that
Yae Miko: Unless you little ones are the ones of thought of something
Lisa: Oh my, Jean?
Jean: No Lisa it's not what it looks like I-
Ganyu: Miko ur teasing really gives me a heart attack sometimes
Yae Miko: Hehe~
Keqing: Ganyu I am outside open up
Shenhe: So I am not allowed to kill Keqing?
Ganyu: NO I love her very much if you kill her then I will be very sad :(
Shenhe: Understood. Will add her to my unhit list
Ganyu: Thank you 😊
Xingqiu: Out of curiosity, what's an unhit list?
Shenhe: Something u are not on
Xingqiu: Ahaha I see…..so who's there on it?
Shenhe: Chongyun, Master, Ganyu, the travelers, Xiao, Yunjin and some other people I tolerate
Yelan: What about me darling?~
Shenhe: Who even are you
Yelan: Your future wife
Shenhe: I dont need one
Yelan: I can change your mind <3
Shenhe: No thank you
Lumine: Ayo @Xingqiu and @Chongyun ur aunties are flirting on general chat
Xingqiu: How many times do I have to tell you guys Ms Yelan is not my auntie
Chongyun: Auntie u have someone u like???
Shenhe: I dont think I do
Yelan: You will soon ~
Aether: Take this to the dms please those of us single folk are offended by your blatant display of flirtation
Lumine: Now what's stopping you from flirting with you-know-who
Venti: Lmao why u gotta make it sound like a forbidden name that will curse u if u say it
Lumine: It could
Xiao: Who is it?
Lumine: Who is what
[Private message]
Xiao: The one Aether wants to flirt with
Lumine: Uh
Lumine: Why the sudden question
Xiao: I was curious
Xiao: I understand if u can't tell me for Aether's sake
Lumine: Xiao I want you to answer my next question very carefully
Xiao: Yes?
Lumine: Are you an idiot?
Xiao: Excuse me?
Lumine: Yes or No
Xiao: No?
Lumine: Well I think yes
Xiao: Why did u ask me if u already had an answer
Lumine: So that u'd know how stupid u sound

Notes:
Yooo guyss the 3.2 livestream??? Couldnt see it properly because of my exams but it was sooo cool! And interesting!! And Nahida's trailer dropped yesterday and man that was the saddest character trailer I had ever seen, how could they just lock up a child like that. Hope I'll get to kick the sages' asses in the upcoming update for what they did to her. Ooh and the Scaramouche mecha was pretty sick looking too ngl. Cant wait to go into that domain and immediately die lmfao.
I am actually trying very hard to not spend my fates until the 2nd phase of 3.2 (like twt said, pretty archon wives banner) but my gacha addiction made me do another 10x TT (which gave a me a beidou con so yay) but I swear that was the last of it! No more pulling until Childe and Yae Miko's banners!!
Also, who will you guys be pulling for in 3.2?? And are Nilou and Albedo wanters now Nilou and Albedo havers?? Hoping all of ur pulls go well and u get the characters y'all want <333
(On another note, I have plans to write a multi chapter plot oriented fic sometime within the next month. I know which ship to write for, and I have drafted a basic plot outline all I need now is time and motivation to get started! So wish me luck <3)
Chapter 16: Operation Thomato
Summary:
With a bonus of Damn what's going on in Sumeru?
Notes:
Guysss I am alive and I am soo sorry for going MIA for so many months my finals were coming up and being in the final year of school meant barely no free time for me TT. But now that my board exams are done, I can finally relax for a while before starting uni later this year! I really meant to release two chapters as an apology but getting back on track with my writing is taking time so my writing speed and creativity has taken a hit ahahaha.....
But for those of you who are still reading this fic and supporting me thank you so much! Your support means a lot to me!! I couldn't be more grateful than anyone to my readers for motivating so much to continue writing!!! LI love y'all so much!
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Totally cooler and awesomer BOSS: SHIT WAIT I AM COMING TOO
Best bro: Ahaha what’s going on here
Totally cool and awesome deputy: Penance for past actions
Best bro: Ahaha I see…
Best bro: So um I am accompanying my lady and my lord along with Lumine to the amusement park today
Best bro: And Idk why I feel kinda nervous
Ramen fox lady: Oooh a double date little one?
Best bro: Whaaaat its nothing like that its just a casual outing with my lord and my lady and Lumine and I am just tagging along
Totally cool and awesome deputy: Sounds more like a double date if u ask me
Best bro: Look I thought abt it too but then the rational part of my brain woke up and made me realise there's no way THE Kamisato Ayato of THE Kamisato clan would ever ask ME, just a regular half foreigner housekeeper working for them, out on a date
Best bro: Like the elders in the clan prolly want him to marry some high class noble woman maybe idk I never stood a chance
Ramen fox lady: Hmmm but is that what you want?
Best bro: It doesnt matter what I want
Ramen fox lady: Okay let me rephrase that
Ramen fox lady: Do you think it is something that Ayato would want?
Best bro: Um
Best bro: Honestly…I don’t know….
Ramen fox lady: What do you think?
Best bro: Maybe
Best bro: Not
Best bro: I really dont know
Ramen fox lady: Okay little one lets sit down and analyse the possibility that Ayato does accept marriage from a high class noble lady
Ramen fox lady: Thoma?
Best bro: Um yes sorry I just thought of it and kinda lost myself there for a moment sorry
Ramen fox lady: Okay
Ramen fox lady: Now think about it, you have more or less promised to serve the Kamisatoes for as long as possible, meaning that you will likely still be around when Ayato gets married and afterwards too
Ramen fox lady: How do you feel on imagining that?
Best bro: Sad
Best bro: I MEAN HAPPY
Best bro: For my lord he deserves happiness after everything he’s been through
Ramen fox lady: Oh little one
Ramen fox lady: I wasn’t done yet
Ramen fox lady: Can you imagine what Ayato would be like? To be trapped in a loveless marriage?
Best bro: He will learn to love his spouse. That’s how this works
Ramen fox lady: But what if he doesnt
Ramen fox lady: What if everyday you wake up only to see your lord be an empty husk of who he used to be, tired and hurting…knowing you could have changed it
Best bro: No I couldn’thave its not like I can giv ehim a better life
Ramen fox lady: But you can give him a chance
Ramen fox lady: Isn’t it time u face ur feelings head on?
Best bro: I dont know
Best bro: I am just their servant it would be inappropriate of me
Ramen fox lady: Oh dear boy ever since when did Mondstatders care about all that?
Best bro: How did you know?
Ramen fox lady: I just did
Ramen fox lady: Now go embrace the spirit of freedom in you and listen to what your heart says
Best bro: But what if it doesnt work what if he doesnt see me that way
Saviour: Worst case scenario you can always just move to Liyue or Mondstadt
Saviour: Sorry I have never met you in my life but that discussion you had with Ramen fox lady was kinda deep and emotional and so I was just suggesting
Best bro: No worries! Thanks a lot for the suggestion tho!
Saviour: In case you decide to come to Liyue ask for Adepti legal consultancy firm I will show you around Liyue and help introduce you to the locals
Best bro: Haha that's really nice of you thanks!
Best bro: But if worst comes to worst I think I will go back to Mondstadt I have friends there and I think it will be nice to see my home again after a while
Ramen fox lady: Tch tch look at you being so negative go shoot your shot first little one and then decide your escape plan based on the results
Best bro: Thank you Miss Yae
Ramen fox lady: You can thank me later by letting me officiate yours and Ayato’ wedding at the Grand Narukami shrine
Best bro: Oh
Best bro: If by some miracle he does accept my confession then sure ig ahaha
Totally cool and awesome deputy: Sorry I missed most of the convo while supervising Itto and Yoimiya’s work but all the best Thoma!
Best bro: Thank you Shinobu
Scary lady from the chasm: Good luck
Scary lady from the chasm: I have placed bets so don't forget to let us know the outcome
Best bro: I am sorry but who are you again?
Scary lady from the chasm: Scary lady from the chasm
Best bro: Ohkay….thanks I think?
Saviour: Best of luck!!
Best bro: Thank you guys, all of you, really.
Best bro: I’ll see you guys later!!

Notes:
Thank you so much for sticking with me up until now. I've decided to take a break from this fic for a while. I'll be working on my other fics and wips meanwhile. I'll update the newest chapter for this one whenever I am able to finish it. But again, thank you so much for all ur support and encouragement to keep me going until now!
On another note, it's really refreshing to get back to writing after such a long time.

I am a proud Hu Tao and Cyno(finally) haver it made me so happy to get him at early pity and win my 5050 after losing it on his first banner. Anyways do let me know how's it going for you guys too!
