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

Chapter 401 Return to the Wind

Regarding Lei Ze's speech, Wendy thought it was quite wonderful.

"Wonderful speech. As a bard, I have nothing to add."

"Next, bury the wine and wait until it becomes mellow."

So then everyone buried the barrel in the soil together.

After finishing this matter, Paimon felt that it was time to celebrate.

"It's finally finished, and I want to celebrate!"

"If I remember correctly, tomorrow is [Returning to the Wind], right?"

When she heard that tomorrow was the day to return to the wind, Keli was very happy. After all, it was the day when Lord Fengshen returned.

"Wow! Master Fengshen is going home——"

"Ahaha, remind me. I haven't finished memorizing the ballad yet. I have to go back and prepare for the toasting ceremony. Dear friends, we will see you tomorrow."

"Sleep well tonight, remember to wake up to the cool breeze tomorrow morning, and then come and listen to the best minstrel performance."

After saying these words, Wendy turned and left.

Keli praised Lei Ze's previous performance.

"Leize was so handsome just now!"

Lei Ze was a little confused about what Keli said was handsome.

"What does handsome... mean?"

"It's amazing!"

"Um...no. Keli is handsome."

After everyone talked about some things in Fengqi, they went back to rest.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Ying and Paimon got up early and arrived at the venue of the Wine Festival, waiting for the toasting ceremony to be held next.

"A lot of people, everyone has come to greet Fengshen, hey, why are they all gathered in front of the [Angel's Gift] booth?"

Lisa, who was standing aside, explained to Paimon why so many people gathered in front of the [Angel's Gift] booth.

"According to tradition, the best quality wine at the Wine Festival cannot be sold until the toasting ceremony is presented to Lord Fengshen for tasting. Everyone is waiting in line."

"Hmph, for these guys, welcoming the Wind God is just a formality. Miss Lisa, are you here to see Lei Ze?" Paimon asked.

"Well, I was a little worried before. I just had a few chats with Lei Ze and I heard that your brewing trip went smoothly. I can have a drink with peace of mind today."

Paimon didn't expect that Lisa came here also to taste the fine wine, just like the people lined up there.

"Wow...you too..."

"Hehe, Lei Ze and the others are already over there, hurry over there." Lisa reminded.

So the two came to where Bennett and others were.

Seeing the appearance of the two men, Bennett stepped forward to say hello.

"Yo, you guys are here!"

Paimon was a little surprised to see so many wine bottles here, because he thought they were going to set up a wine stall here.

"Wow, what's the matter with so many wine bottles? If you didn't know better, I would have thought you also had a wine stall."

"Hahaha, we prepared these for Lei Ze!" Bennett said from the side.

"Mom said that today we will welcome Master Fengshen and invite him to drink. If Master Fengshen is happy, he will turn into wind and bless everyone."

"We want to make Mr. Fengshen happy and ask him to help Lei Ze. Sister Honorary Knight, look, this is what Brother Albedo lent to me." Keli said while pointing to the wine bottle she brought.

"This bottle was given by my fathers. Fortunately, it didn't fall on the road... I just pretended to bring it back to them after I used it up." Bennett also introduced the bottle he brought over.

"Mom said that Mr. Fengshen has a very strong drinking capacity. If he wants to, he can drink up the fruit wine lake in one breath!"

"Is this, plus the wine left by Lei Ze's parents... enough?"

Lei Ze said something when he saw Wendy's appearance.

"Ah, green poet."

Everyone looked in the direction he was looking and found Captain Qin and Wendy standing on the stage.At this moment, Wendy cleared her throat and began to speak to everyone in the audience.

"Ahem, everyone, I am very honored to be here. Today I was invited by Miss Qin, the acting head of the Western Knights, to play a song for you - [Qianfeng Wine]."

"I will dedicate my best song to Fen and to all of you here——"

After saying these words, Wendy started playing the organ in her hand and singing.

[We sealed these things into buckets and waited, waited, and waited for the wind to rise.Put wax on the mouth of the bottle of fine wine. The south wind is gentle and the north wind is strong. 】

[What does fine wine taste like?Mond's name, his own dream.What exactly ferments into fine wine?Courage to explore, tenderness to love. 】

[The duty of guardianship remains the same as before, accompanied by thousands of blessings, the sour juice becomes sweet, the rough barrel is moistened, waiting, waiting, waiting for the wind to rise. 】

[What's in the wine barrel?The golden color of wheat, and the verdant verdant potential.The fine wine is out of the barrel, what's floating in it?The sound of wind chimes, the eternal sky. 】

[We sang songs with these fine wines, waiting, waiting, waiting for the wind to sing.What did Qianfeng take away to drink?The story on the strings, the sweet dream tonight. 】

After listening to Master Fengshen's singing, Qin began to speak to everyone in the audience.

"Friends, let's start the wine together——"

Everyone in the audience said the same thing, "Honor the God of Wind!"

Keli didn't feel the breeze, and she was a little disappointed.

"Eh... there's no wind..."

"Kelly, don't be sad."

"Why is this happening, Lei Ze? Master Fengshen didn't come back. Does it mean that he doesn't like the wine we prepared?"

"It shouldn't be like this." Ying explained at the side.

"No way! Does Xiao Keli know? Master Fengshen can not only turn into the wind, but also into other forms, so he must have come back in other forms this year!"

"Hmm? Really? Become...become a bouncer?"

"Okay, let's become Bengbeng! Do you hear Fengshen!"

The first sentence Paimon said was to Kelly, and the second sentence, in a loud voice, was said to Wendy on the stage.

"Hehe... Lei Ze, has Lord Fengshen brought you a blessing?"

"Yes." Lei Ze nodded and said what he thought was a blessing.

"With you, I talked a lot and learned a lot."

"Now, I won't be afraid."

"This... is a blessing."

Bennett said that after the wine is brewed, he will taste it.

"Don't forget, when your wine is brewed in the future, I'll come and drink it too!"

"I have a share too?"

"Well, let's share and make memories together." Lei Ze said that was no problem.

"Yeah! But... Keli is thirsty..."

"We're just talking, let's go have a drink?" Paimon suggested.

“I heard that the new [Holiday Fruit Brew] at the [Angel’s Gift] booth is delicious!”

Kelly said she wanted to drink this.

"I want to drink, I want to drink!"

"Well, everyone, let's go."

So everyone prepared to taste the holiday fruit brew.

While wandering around, everyone heard the sound of the wind blowing and the sound of wind chimes ringing.

Everyone is very happy about this, but Keli is the happiest one among them.

However, the wind blew through every corner of Mondstadt, reminding those who were resting of the past.
