    Summary

    "Acting Grand Master," Lawrence says, "we have another noise complaint."

    Kaeya leans against the doorway, watching as Lawrence places at report atop Jean's desk. Sighing, Jean tiredly rubs at her brow, before offering a curt nod.

    "Thank you," she says. "I will deal with the complaint shortly."

    Pushing off the doorway, Kaeya saunters past Lawrence, picking the report up, and casually flipping through it. Jean shoots him a stern look, but does not tell him to put it back down.

    "It's from one of the sisters," Kaeya observes, and reads aloud. "Perpetrator scaled statue outside church while drunk and sang loudly for three hours."

    Lawrence lets out a delicate cough.

     

    As Weinlesefest draws near, Kaeya notices a new mystery in the city of wind and wine — Jean and Diluc have been oddly permissive with Venti since the Stormterror Incident. Mischievously determined to get to the bottom of this, Kaeya soon makes a discovery that threatens to upend everything he knows. In the process, he must reconcile what it means to be Khaenri'ahn, and to love a city that belongs to a god.

    Summary

    Jean set down her pen. “Sorry, Klee brought how many explosives?”

    Venti shrugged. “This land has survived an awful lot of flattening. It can survive a bit more.” He, nearly alone, still remembered the mountains. “Ah—but in the spirit of helpfulness, I should add that she’s testing a rather potent mix, if you know what I mean. It might be less ‘flattening’ and more ‘cratering.’ The lake can always stand to be deeper, but, well—“

    He didn’t have to finish. Jean had taken off halfway through, far more focused on containing Klee than on deferring to Venti, which was wonderful improvement.

    A compilation of tiny, between-the-scenes Genshin oneshots.

    Summary

    "Mr. Zhongli," Chef Mao says suddenly, "is a little strange, don't you think?"

    Surprised by the sudden and completely unsolicited comment, Xiangling looks up from her wok, tracing her father's eye to said Mr. Zhongli, leaning over an antique vase at one of the roadside stores. In her time at Wanmin Restaurant, however, she has certainly seen her fair share of strange customers, so after a moment, she just turns back to her frying, flipping the xianbing in the wok over one by one.

    "Why do you say that?" she asks, reaching across the counter for the cooking oil.

    "Dearest daughter," Chef Mao says then, "he is lecturing the seller on the origins of his own vase."

    Liyue Harbor is hive full of incorrigible gossips. Xiangling navigates the rumor mill, goes ingredient hunting with Zhongli, and in the process, finds out that Zhongli is very, very bad at pretending to be human.

    Summary

    “Six thousand years, Childe,” Zhongli hisses, taking another swig of the vile alcohol the Fatui import from their homeland. “Six thousand years. It was unavoidable that I misplace something.”
    “And I am so glad it was pitiful, whiny love letters,” Childe snickers, topping up his glass. “To a colleague, no less.”
    There is nothing to do but drink. Zhongli will have to endure weeks of this, more if nothing more titillating comes along to distract the people’s memory once the exhibition has run its course.

     

    Zhongli had completely forgotten about these unsent letters, until Hu Tao comes up with her ridiculous plan. Now he has to cope with the reactions of everyone in Liyue Harbor and beyond, and not least of all, those of the intended recipient. What is Venti to him, in this new era?
