The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 105: Liar and Sourness

"If, I mean if, if it's just a story about the East Wind Dragon reappearing in Mondstadt, there's no need to... join a band and become an idol, right?"

Jean paused, trying to veto the orchestra plan: "We can do this in other ways."

"Unfortunately, when the Wind God and the Sky Dragon first met, the Sky Dragon was attracted by the Wind God's singing and became the East Wind Dragon that protects Mondstadt."

Chen Tianfeng shook his head and said, “So, now that Tevarin is affected by the poisonous blood, he only recognizes singing.”

"There are many bards and orchestras in Mondstadt. We can entrust them with our services." Qin continued to struggle.

"No. Tevarin is the Dragon of the East Wind, one of the Four Guardians of the Winds. We must take this seriously: the bard must be the best bard in the world, and the orchestra must be the best orchestra in Mondstadt."

"But even if I join the Wind Poetry Band, it doesn't mean that the Wind Poetry Band is the best band in Mondstadt, right?"

"Captain Qin, please don't underestimate yourself. As long as you and Miss Eula join the band, Wind Poetry will be the best band in Mondstadt. There will be no dispute about it."

Chen Tianfeng looked determined, and then he glanced at Lisa who was laughing at the side, and said meaningfully: "Of course, if Captain Qin is worried, you can also invite friends to join the band."

Lisa's smile froze, and she stood up immediately, saying lazily, "Oh, it's tea time, you guys chat, I'll go make some coffee."

The Rose Witch maintained a charming yet frivolous smile, and was about to turn around and leave when her smooth wrist was grabbed by the Dandelion Knight.

"Lisa..." Qin tilted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes flickering, as if a hint of shyness and pleading appeared, and then disappeared in a flash: "Help me, please?"

"..."

The Rose Witch took a deep breath, held the Dandelion Knight's soft hand with her backhand, and sat down again: "Okay, okay, but let me make it clear in advance that I'm not good at any musical instrument, so don't blame me if you don't do well."

"Yes, I know." Qin nodded gently, letting Lisa hold her hand, and whispered, "Thank you, Lisa."

Lisa didn't answer, but held Qin's hand with a little force, giving her encouragement and support like a sister.

"..."

Qin pursed her lips, feeling a little warm in her heart, and turned her gaze to Chen Tianfeng, picking up the topic again: "Then there is only the [best bard in the world] left. Does Mr. Chen have any candidates?"

Chen Tianfeng nodded: "Yes, the bard Wendy, he is the best bard in the world."

"Oh? Why do you think so?" Lisa raised her pretty eyebrows slightly.

"Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, told me." Chen Tianfeng said calmly, "He said that there is a bard named Wendy in Mondstadt. He is the best bard in the world. His singing can even move gods."

"Since Lord Barbatos approves of this, then Mr. Wendy must be the best bard in the world." Qin nodded: "Then the preliminary conditions for resolving the dragon disaster have been met. Does anyone have anything else to add?"

Chen Tianfeng, Eula and Lisa all shook their heads.

"So be it."

Qin thought for a moment and looked at Chen Tianfeng: "Mr. Chen, I will find a place suitable for the band to rehearse later. If other members of the band need any instruments, they can also tell me after we meet up."

"I understand. Thank you, Captain Lao Qin, for your concern."

……

So, three days later.

The Wind Poetry Band’s new practice room is several times more luxurious and spacious.

"What is an idol? Hmm, let me think..."

"The duty of an idol is to make everyone like them, and good idols can heal people's hearts. Yeah, yeah, anyway, that's it."

Mondstadt's idol girl Barbara thought for a moment and gave her answer. Then she became curious and glanced at the layout of the practice room. She looked up at her sister and said, "Sister... why did the acting leader suddenly ask this?"

"...In order to save Mondstadt." Jean tried to make her expression look serious and solemn: "So, I need to become an idol."

"Eh? Save Mond?"

Barbara was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding the connection between saving Mond and becoming an idol.

"Let me explain, Jean."

Lisa walked forward, chuckling, and recounted the whole story.

“Is that really the case?!”

Barbara covered her lips with her hands, shocked. Then she noticed Huadian and asked in confusion, "But does joining a band mean I have to become an idol?"

Jean & Lisa: "..."

Eula, who happened to pass by and heard it, said: "..."

Yes, yes. No one says that you have to become an idol if you join a band, right?
If you're not an idol, can you not play in a band?

"...It seems we have been cheated." Eula gritted her teeth and looked in the direction of Chen Tianfeng: "I should have thought of it earlier! He is the guy who has a good chat with Kaia, and he is a born liar! Damn it!" "So, do we want to go and talk to Mr. Chen?" Qin sighed.

"Then he should come up with a new excuse." Lisa shook her head and said, "I am sure that Mr. Chen can definitely say, 'This is the will of the Lord Wind God.'"

"..."

"We can't let him go so easily!" Eula thought about it, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she whispered something to Barbara.

"Eh? This is not good..."

"It's okay, he deserves it."

……

"Everyone has worked hard. Please have a drink. It was made by Miss Barbara herself."

"Oh, thank you Miss Barbara!"

Wendy stopped playing the harp, thanked Barbara with a smile, and took a glass of apple juice.

Ying and Paimon also chose a cup each and thanked Barbara.

"You're welcome. Miss Eula also helped. It's not just my credit."

Barbara smiled gently, then glanced at Eula with a slightly strange look. The knight lady was walking towards Chen Tianfeng with a cup of warm red drink.

"Hey, you guys, thank you for your hard work."

Eula handed over the drink.

"Thank you."

Chen Tianfeng took the cup, glanced at it, and his eyes twitched slightly. He raised his head, looked over the mountains, and met Eula's sincere eyes: "Is this Miss Barbara's work?"

If he remembered correctly, Barbara's favorite drink and the one she was best at making should be spicy.

Moreover, there was something wrong with Eula's expression, as if she was expecting to see something...so there was a high probability that there was something wrong with this drink.

Did he offend this Wave Knight in some way?
Chen Tianfeng thought about it, but couldn't find the answer for the time being.

"No, I did it."

Eula sat down at her own performance position, her beautiful eyes wandering around, a smile on her lips: "As a thank you."

"You're too polite. Actually..."

"Thank you for what?"

Before Chen Tianfeng finished speaking, Ying came over and glanced at the drink in Chen Tianfeng's hand. She asked in surprise, "Is there watermelon in this season?"

"Who knows? Teyvat even has elemental power, so it is not impossible for cold-resistant watermelons to appear." Chen Tianfeng smiled.

"That's right." Ying thought about it and nodded.

What is the relationship between cold-resistant watermelon and elemental power... Eula frowned slightly, not understanding what kind of encrypted communication these two people were having. Moreover, she felt very uncomfortable because she couldn't fit in the topic.

Youla suppressed the awkward feeling in her heart and reminded with a smile: "Drink it quickly. If this drink is left for too long, the taste will deteriorate."

"This is a drink made by Miss Eula herself. I think it must taste great. I really don't want to waste it like this." Chen Tianfeng smiled sincerely and put the cup on the table beside him: "How about this, after the rehearsal is over, I will take a shower and change clothes before tasting it?"

"Do you suspect there's something wrong with this drink?" Eula folded her arms, looking even more majestic.

"How could that be? I just want to take it seriously." Chen Tianfeng denied it immediately.

Ying's eyes moved between the two of them, finally landing on the cup of fiery drink. After a moment's thought, he picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Huh? It tastes delicious!"

Ying blinked her eyes, put the cup into Chen Tianfeng's hand, and said with a smile: "Tianfeng, this is Miss Youla's gift, don't hesitate. Don't worry, I have tried it for you."

Chen Tianfeng was stunned for a moment, looked at the cup, then looked at Ying's clear golden eyes, and after a little hesitation, he took a big sip.

Then his face twitched suddenly.

Why is this sour? Why is it so sour? What on earth did Eula put in it?
"Hahaha! Ah, so sour!"

Ying no longer pretended and couldn't help laughing out loud. Then she gently hit Chen Tianfeng's shoulders twice with her white fists, as if this could ease the sourness in her mouth.

Youla pursed her lips. She clearly didn't drink the special sour drink, but a sour feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
