Chapter 60 A God's Rant
What should I do today? Let's go find Venti. Which tavern is Venti drinking at? Let's go find Venti at Diluc's tavern then.
I opened the door. Where's Wendy? Charles, get me some juice. Let's see if I recognize anyone. I looked around. Suddenly, my eyes lit up. Isn't that Yora?
Hello Yura. Hello Yulai. Kids shouldn't be coming to bars all the time. It's harmless. Besides, I don't drink. But you seem to like drinking. I happen to have a good bottle of wine around here. Want some?
Uh, that's not a good idea. It's alright, I brewed it myself. The flavor is rich and full-bodied, definitely a fine product. Want some? (Smells it.) Wow, this wine smells amazing!
No, you can't have it. How dare you tease me! I'll remember this. Yura is so cute. Just kidding. Drink up, it's on you.
After some time, I said, "Okay, I have to go on my mission now." So I left first. "I want to go too." "That's dangerous." "It's okay." "No, you're a child, I have to be responsible for your safety."
But... looking at the tiny water droplets on Yu Lai's face... Don't look at me like that. No, I want to go. I just can't do anything with you. How could you be so careless about your own safety? I'll remember this grudge. Let's go, I'll protect you.
What mission do we have? Yura. It's to take down a treasure-hunting gang's hideout. But we need to investigate first.
This is it. The merchants were robbed of their treasure here last time. Our main objective is to recover their lost treasure.
After some time searching and investigating, we've found that the cave ahead is the treasure-hunting group's hideout. You stay outside. I'll go in and be right back.
We found treasure! Lots of it! Let's go submit the quest. Okay! (After leaving the Adventurers' Guild) Yura, aren't you a member of the Knights of Favonius? Why are you doing an adventurer's quest?
To earn Mora. What's the use of earning so much? Actually, you haven't earned that much. Yura, would you like to go shopping with me? Shopping? We're not going. Why? Because I'm Lawrence. Surnames aren't that important, are they?
How can it not be important? If it weren't important, why would I have endured so many years of harsh words? Let me tell you a story.
In ancient Mondstadt, our family, along with the wind god, overthrew the tyranny of Decalatien. Wasn't that a good thing? Let me continue. Then, several thousand years passed. Lawrence began to have ambitions.
Bring back slavery, Mondstadt. Then, a woman led the common people and overthrew Lawrence. And then we, Lawrence, became the descendants of sinners. Yora, don't be sad. I'm not actually that sad. But thank you for your concern.
I felt warm and safe by your side. Thank you for being with me for so long. Okay, goodbye, Yura.
There's still plenty of time, let's go find Venti. Venti is playing music on the statue of Anemo. He finishes playing. "That was a good conversation, Venti." "Would you like to have a drink with me?" "Hmm, sure, let's go."
We drank for a long time. The problem was that one sentence. Yu Lai, do you know? Your name is the same as that of an old friend of mine. But that old friend of mine hasn't been seen for thousands of years. He helped me overthrow the rule of Decalabian.
But now he's vanished without a trace. He's the God of Wind. He overthrew those old friends, and he's the only one left. Amos was taken away by him, and there's been no news of him either. Sigh, saying all this won't change anything.
Yeah, it's just a rant from a god. Don't take it too seriously. Poor thing. But don't try to kill me anymore. I didn't have a knife, I meant don't tell me those touching stories anymore. Ah, I understand.
