"Y/N? Hello? Are you daydreaming again?" The hand waved close to my face and I jumped, it was Blanche.

"Ah! Blanche! Sorry..ehe..~" I laughed nervously and scratched behind my neck. Blanche rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Thinking about being the most popular pianist in Monstadt again, are you Y/N? Why don't you take a break from selling these goods and head over to the statue? I heard there's a super talented bard playing there today, perhaps you two might get along. I can watch over the shop for you while you're there." the shopkeeper smiled and gave you 4 apples and 500 mora.

"Oh, really? Okay! Thank you Blanche!" I hugged her and waved goodbye.

Walking over to the statue, you heard the beautiful voice of the bard. The bard sang tales for the city of freedom and romance. Though, you were far away, you couldn't see him because the crowd was blocking your view. But, you could hear his angelic voice and lyre. It made your heart flutter. As soon as you got there, it already ended. You frown,

"aw, dang. I missed it." sighing, you looked down and walked away. Y/N didn't even had a chance to see him play his lyre. Y/N felt a sudden hand on her shoulder.

"Huh?" I turn to face the mysterious person and looked up,

"Hey! What's wrong? You look upset." the aqua guy frowned, he was holding a lyre.

He had dark blue hair, with short twin braids that  fade into an aqua colour. The eyes were also aqua coloured. He wore a frilly white top with a corset-like leather midsection, along with teal shorts and gold embroidery, a matching teal cape held together by a deep blue and gold bow, white stocking with 3 diamond shaped along each leg, and a beret-like hat with a Cecilia flower. (Got that from Genshin-impact.fandom.com! 😜) 'Man, he's very beautiful.' My cheeks turn a bit pink and I started to stutter,

"I-it's just that.. I didn't see the bard play his songs." sigh, "Anyways, lovely lyre!" I smile.

"Eheh! Thanks! Also, you're looking at the bard  right now y'know." he grinned and put his hand to his chest,

"I'm Venti the bard. Three-time winner of the "Most Popular Bard of Mondstadt," to be precise."

He rest his arm, "So, any song requests? You missed my playing after all."

"Actually I-" I got cut off by Venti.

"Oh that reminds me, are you the pianist that everyone keeps talking about in Monstadt?"

I nod, "I-"

"Oh! Y/N L/N! Monstadt's favourite pianist,  hehe, I finally got to meet you!"

Groaning. 'Wait favourite? Woah, maybe my dream did come true.'

"Aha~ sorry.. I couldn't help myself. Continue on, please, Miss L/N!" Venti chirped

"M-Miss L/N?! Um.. anyways.. I want to hear your wonderful voice and lyre again! Please! Any song will do but please-"

Venti blushed at her words, "alright! It'll cost you an apple and 50 mora!" He giggled.
