Genjin: I don't want to fall in love with Yae Gongji

Chapter 389 The arrival of the Wine Festival
[I suspect that with Keli’s crayon, he can pierce the eye-like core of the ruins guard (just don’t try). 】

[The scout discovered that [Captain] had been ordered to go to Nata three days ago. We don’t need to devote energy to guarding against him in the future, and we can have a good sleep. 】

[I admit that some of his actions helped a little, but from this perspective, he still owes us. 】

[The [Returning Wine Festival] should be approaching in Mondstadt now. Unfortunately, I can’t celebrate the festival with you this year. 】

[Everyone misses Mondstadt’s wine all the time, and the days spent with you. 】

[Celebrate the festival well with the people of Mondstadt. By the way, drink a few more glasses of wine for us. Just drink the wine that is limited to the annual wine festival of Dawn Winery. 】

[May Lord Barbatos bless Mondstadt, and may our thoughts return to you with the returning wind.Falga. 】

[Also: If you want to ask who is more powerful, [captain] or me, I am the leader!Captain, we have ten knights, hahaha. 】

"The letter ends here. I have finished reading it. Thank you everyone."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mika."

"Captain Qin, um... I found that there seemed to be something written on the back of the last page of the letter..."

"[Again: I don't have enough letter paper, so I wrote it here, Lisa. Here is a message for you]...Ah, it seems to be written by the grand leader to Miss Lisa."

Lisa also didn't expect that at the end of the letter, the grand leader would write a message to herself.

"Oh, for me?"

"Since it's a special message...Lisa, let's talk in private."

"Everyone, as the grand leader said, the [Wine Festival] will be in a few days. We are lucky to receive the news that the expedition team is safe at this time."

"Although they can't come back to Mondstadt to celebrate the festival with us, the Wine Festival is always something everyone looks forward to."

"For the sake of the expedition team working hard outside and the hard-working people of Mondstadt, I hope everyone can stick to their posts and fulfill their responsibilities."

"Of course, please relax moderately during the break and enjoy this long-lost festival."

"That's all for today's meeting, dismiss it."

Hearing the end of the meeting, the knights of the Knights of the West Wind left one after another.

"Did I hear that right? I actually mentioned the captain of the Fools... uh... it feels like it's a very important thing..."

"But don't worry about the fools, [Green Wine Festival] sounds like a festival where you can eat and drink for free?! Really? Any more news?"

"Not surprisingly, this is indeed your style." Ying said from the side.

"Little cuties, do you want to go and talk to Qin together? There were too many people just now, and we didn't even have a chance to say hello."

Paimon felt good about this suggestion.

"Okay, okay, let's go there quickly."

However, the two of them did not rush and followed Lisa to see Captain Qin. Instead, they walked to Mika and Kaia. As for Lisa, they just waited on the side.

"Wow, hello, um... you are looking for Captain Kai, please don't pay attention to me!"

"Actually, I came to see you and wanted to say hello to you."

"Eh, no, what should I do?! Ah, Captain Kaia... I, what should I say?"

"Haha, Mika, you have been in the expedition team for so long, why are you still the same?"

"Didn't you just ask me about the dragon disaster? The person standing in front of you now is the legendary honorary knight."

"Hmph, yes, there is also the legendary Paimon!"

Hearing this, Mika became even more nervous.

"You... Hello, you are very strong, I... I admire it very much. Uh... I have to go to the guerrilla team, I'm sorry to excuse you!"

After saying these words, Mika quickly ran away.

"Ah, he left... What a pity. I wanted to ask him more about the expedition." Kaia felt a little regretful about this, and even shared the secret of getting along with him.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, but don't worry about it. In his eyes, you are [the center of attention in the city]."

"Time can solve these problems. When we meet next time, maybe we can get along naturally."

"I'll share a secret with you. You can try talking to him about wild exploration. It's easy to gain his trust."

After ending their conversation with Kaia, the two followed Lisa into the acting head's office.

"Lisa, you are here. The letter from the Grand Master is on the table."

"Traveler, Paimon, long time no see. I was a bit busy just now, so I didn't say a few words to you. I'm sorry."

"If you have some free time recently, how about spending a little more time in Mondstadt? We will be celebrating the [Wine Festival] soon."

"Don't look at Qin like this, she has been talking about you a few days ago." Lisa said beside her.

"Lisa..."

"Haha... you guys chat first, I'll go read the letter."

After saying this, Lisa turned around and read the letter on the table.

"We also miss Mondstadt very much. Recently we received an invitation from Wendy. When we finished our trip to Sumeru, we rushed back here to participate in the festival here."

"Yes! Mondstadt is also the starting point of our trip. We have many precious memories."

"By the way, Captain Qin, neither the travelers nor I are very familiar with the [Fine Wine Festival]. Can you tell us a little bit about it?" Paimon asked.

"Well, of course."

"[Wine Wine Festival], like [Badminton Festival] and [Wind Flower Festival], is a very ancient Mondstadt festival, and it is also the most important festival in autumn."

"The west wind blows in Mondstadt every autumn. Legend has it that this is because the aroma of wine during the harvest is so attractive that it attracts the wind god who loves drinking."

"No matter where he is, he will turn into a breeze and return to his hometown."

Regarding this statement, Paimon felt that it was indeed the impression given by the God of Wind.

"Uh...it's very similar to Fengshen's impression..."

"Therefore, the people of Mondstadt also call the west wind the [Returning Wind], and the [Wine Festival] was originally a festival established to welcome Lord Barbatos."

"In the past, every household would brew new wine at this time, and the wine would be sealed until at least the [Returning Wind Day] of the Wine Festival the following year before being unsealed."

"When people open the aged wine, it means inviting the God of Wind to drink together. Legend has it that if the God of Wind is satisfied with the taste of the wine, he will gladly call up the breeze and send precious blessings to people."

"Precious blessing?" Ying asked.

"According to his character, is he wishing everyone...that they can also drink good wine in the coming year?"

Qin wasn't sure what the specific blessing was.

"The specific content of the blessing... I really don't know."

"These stories are so old that the details have been lost."

"Some stories have been passed down for a long time, and they will become completely different! For example, the Mond people now have disputes over [what is the flower of the wind]..."

Lisa, who had just read the letter, came over and said.

"This is part of the so-called humanistic inheritance."

"Well, coming back to the present, the tradition of worshiping the God of Wind on [Returning to the Wind Day] still remains. The Wine Festival has always been a festival for Mondstadt people to share the joy of harvest and taste fine wine."

"At this time of year, many Mondlanders who have been wandering around return to their hometown. For those who cannot return to their hometown, the Wine Festival is also the time when they miss their hometown and relatives the most."
