"Count in." Just as the bartender was about to head downstairs, Wendy quickly added.
Actually, she had originally wanted to drink with Miko, but after thinking it over, she decided to have sothing else. No matter how you looked at it, alcohol was still a bit too unpleasant for her to drink. She would probably be unable to stomach any more before she could even get drunk.
"Understood, valued custor." After saying this, the bartender went downstairs.
"See? I wasn't wrong to call you little girls normally, was I? Two little girls who don't even drink alcohol."
Seeing that Lumine and Wendy obviously had no intention of drinking, Miko took the opportunity to tease them. Of course, it wasn't really a big deal. Drinking alcohol wasn't a necessity, but since she had the chance to tease Wendy, she definitely wasn't going to pass it up.
Several tis before, she had thought Wendy wouldn't make snide remarks at her anymore, but she was proven wrong so quickly every single ti. Therefore, now that she had the chance to mock Wendy, she absolutely had to do it imdiately.
"That's right, Granny Miko. Us two little girls wouldn't drink alcohol like you do."
Faced with Miko's teasing, Wendy changed her approach and counterattacked directly by targeting her age.
"Tch, little girl."
Not expecting Wendy to change tactics, Miko felt a bit helpless.
"Haha, doesn't that make a grandpa-level figure then?" Laughing out loud, Venti, who had walked right over and grabbed a few bottles of wine from Miko's table, mocked himself in this manner.
"Oh? If you take this much all at once, what am I supposed to drink?"
Not expecting Venti to be so impolite, Miko couldn't help but make this remark. If he wasn't the forr Anemo Archon, she really would have hit soone.
"Hehe, then should I go down and get so more for you?" Looking at the wine he had taken, Venti felt he might have taken a bit too much, so he offered to go downstairs and help her fetch so more. Since she was treating them anyway, helping her fetch so wine was the least he could do.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
After thinking it over for a mont, Miko nodded.
"Bring so non-alcoholic beverages up for while you're at it. That bartender is too slow." Seeing that Venti was going down, Wendy also asked him to help bring up so drinks. There was no helping it; the bartender still hadn't brought up the drinks for her and Lumine.
"No problem, I'll go down right now." Nodding, Venti went straight downstairs. Just running a quick errand in exchange for drinking so much wine was an incredible bargain.
"Drink up, drink up." Because Miko had directly asked them to bring up whole bottles of wine, she had to pour the drinks herself.
And after pouring herself a glass of wine, Miko looked at Wendy, thought for a mont, and said, "Little girl, do you want to have a little sip? Or... does that guy not let you drink?"
"No, I just think this stuff tastes bad. It's not as good as juice."
Pushing a glass toward Miko, Wendy, who was sitting across from her, shook her head. The truth was simply that she didn't like drinking alcohol. She thought it tasted bad, and there weren't really any other complicated reasons for it.
"That's exactly the kind of reason a little girl would give." Regarding Wendy's words, Miko smiled, and then poured less than a quarter of a glass of wine into the cup she had pushed over.
There was no helping it. Since Wendy didn't like drinking, she would just pour her a little bit. Afterwards, under Miko's watchful gaze, Wendy took the wine glass and took a tiny sip.
"How is it?"
Watching Wendy take a sip like that, Miko asked with so anticipation.
"It tastes so bad. I feel like all alcohol tastes this bad." Swallowing it with so difficulty, Wendy frowned and stated that it tasted terrible.
"Hahaha—"
Seeing Wendy like this, Miko couldn't help but laugh out loud. Now, the impression of Wendy being a little girl was completely solidified in her mind. In the past, she had wondered if Wendy might actually be older than her, but looking at it now, such a thing was simply impossible.
"Is this kind of thing really that funny?"
Not expecting her earlier words to make Miko laugh so happily, Wendy was quite curious.
"Yes, it's very funny."
Upon seeing Wendy's curious expression, Miko suddenly felt that this little girl Wendy had beco cute again, although she would definitely beco uncute again later.
If Kaito's side said this, it definitely wouldn't be funny...
Regarding Miko's words, Wendy thought this to herself. She felt that the reason her earlier words had amused Miko definitely had sothing to do with her current appearance on this side. If it were Kaito's side instead, it probably wouldn't have had the sa effect.
"If it's funny, then laugh a bit more." Regardless, Wendy felt that if Miko could be happy for a bit, then she should let her be happy.
Alcohol really does taste bad...
Listening silently to the conversation between Wendy and Miko from the side, Lumine also thought this silently in her heart. However, since Wendy had already said it, she wouldn't repeat it again.
"Here they co, the drinks and snacks are here." At this mont, Venti finally ca upstairs carrying the drinks, snacks, and so other alcoholic beverages.
"Thanks."
Taking the non-alcoholic beverages and so snacks from Venti, Wendy said her thanks. Afterwards, Venti took so wine and went back to his own table.
Because Miko and Wendy were there this ti, him fetching the wine from them went quite smoothly, completely lacking the usual situations where he would be suspected of not having Mora just to get a drink. It had to be said, this kind of situation was truly wonderful.
Drink!
After returning to his seat, Venti started drinking on his own. He felt that Wendy and the others coming here to drink probably had sothing on their minds, so he wouldn't bother them.
Mhm...
Good wine!
After downing a glass in one gulp, Venti quickly poured himself another. Even if the sky fell tonight, he was going to drink to his heart's content.
And while Venti was drinking alone on the side, Miko was also drinking the wine in her glass. As for Wendy and Lumine, they were drinking their non-alcoholic beverages and eating so snacks.
Sigh...
It's ti for Kaito's side to make an appearance.
I wonder how Miko will react when she sees his side?
Silently drinking the fruit juice in her hand, Wendy didn't know what would happen once Kaito's side appeared. Although Miko had been laughing and chatting with Kaito's side when they first arrived in Liyue, she seed to have developed an issue with him later on.
But no matter what, Kaito was already at the city gates now, so he definitely had to co over.
"Kai is here."
After Kaito's side entered the tavern, Wendy imdiately said this.
Kaito is here?
Hearing Wendy suddenly say this, Lumine, who was next to her, instinctively looked toward the stairs. As for Miko, she paused her drinking.
"How does he know we're here? It was definitely you, little girl, wasn't it?" Setting down her wine glass, Miko looked at Wendy and asked with a hint of suspicion. Because Wendy had been with them the entire ti, she could only guess this way.
Right...
Kaito's ability... At this mont, Miko suddenly recalled the ability Kaito and the others had to speak directly into people's minds.
That's right...
That must be it...
But Wendy suggesting we co to Mondstadt... could that have been arranged by that guy?
Suddenly thinking of this, Miko imdiately felt the urge to hit Kaito.
This guy!
Thinking this, Miko picked up the glass she had just set down and downed the wine in one gulp.
Tap, tap, tap—
At this mont, the sound of footsteps ca from the stairs, though it was unclear whether it was Kaito or the bartender.
"It's quite lively here." As soon as he ca up, Kaito said this.
Actually, Kaito hadn't planned on coming at first; he had rely intended to let Miko finish her drinks here and then have Wendy's side bring her back. But after thinking it over, he felt he still needed to make an appearance.
"Isn't it usually much more lively around you?"
In response to Kaito's words, Miko couldn't help but make this retort.
"It's a different kind of lively." Saying this, Kaito sat down directly across from Lumine, perfectly filling up the table.
"Good wine, good wine..."
At this mont, Venti's voice suddenly ca from the other side, looking as though he was already quite drunk.
"If it's good wine, then drink so more."
Looking at Venti, Kaito suddenly didn't quite know what to say. He had to admit, Venti truly loved drinking. He even wondered if Mondstadt's wine was so famous precisely because Venti loved drinking so much.
"Drink, drink..."
Continuing to drink, Venti acted as if he hadn't even noticed Kaito's arrival.
"He still loves drinking just as much..."
Also looking towards Venti's side, Miko couldn't help but make this remark. She hadn't even drank that much herself, yet Venti was already this drunk.
"Yeah, he should be called the God of Wine." After thinking about it, Kaito felt that Venti could just change his title to the God of Wine. There was no helping it; he could truly drink way too much.
Hmm...
Annoying guy...
Snapping back to reality, Miko suddenly realized she had almost forgotten about Kaito.
"Why are you looking at like that? Am I that handso?"
Withdrawing his gaze and noticing that Miko was staring at him, Kaito cracked this joke.
"You are handso, so how about coming to drink with ?"
After a mont of thought, Miko decided to have Kaito drink with her. No matter what, she was going to drink to her heart's content today. Since neither Wendy nor Lumine drank, she would let Kaito do it.
"Sure."
Seeing Miko like this, Kaito didn't refuse, simply getting into position and preparing to drink. Although he didn't drink and didn't like drinking, he decided to have a good drink with Miko right now.
"Let's go sit at another table, Lumine. We won't join these two drinkers."
Feeling that it was better to let Kaito's side and Miko drink alone, Wendy told Lumine to move to another table.
"Okay."
Nodding, Lumine stood up, taking so of the non-alcoholic beverages and snacks, and walked over to the neighboring table with Wendy.
Afterwards, Kaito took Wendy's seat, ready to have a thorough drinking session with Miko. Even though he had no idea how much he could actually handle, he would at least give it a try.
