Genshin Impact Reacts: Devils Never Cry

Prologue, Act II - For A Tomorrow Without Tears (Part 2)

[The scene begins inside of the Angel's Share Tavern where Diluc, the red haired man from the previous quest, was seen speaking to Charles]

Diona hissed at the sight of Diluc at the screen, like a feral cat baring its fangs at its prey - not liking Diluc's presence on the screen. She will destroy Mondstadt's Wine Industry - one way or ANOTHER.

Charles:Master Diluc, these are this week's accounts.

Diluc:Hm... It seems that this whole Stormterror disaster has greatly affected business.

Venti's smile immediately faded as he poured himself a glass of dandelion wine before looking at said glass. He tossed the glass away and simply just downed the whole bottle without any hesitatiton...

"Barbatos..."Zhongli muttered underneath his breath and facepalmed, wondering if he even took this whole situation seriously rather than waste his time mourning his wine...

"I AM being serious!"Venti shouted to no one apparently as he continued to down the whole bottle of dandelion wine without any signs of stopping.

Charles:Let's hope this whole shtick ends soon, Master Diluc...

[The door then bursts open as Aether, Kiran, Yūrei and Paimon along with Venti enter the Tavern whilst panting]

Venti:Hello there! We'd like a seat at your, uhh... Least suspicious table!

Cue facepalms from Aether, Kiran, Yūrei and Paimon along with the rest of the room when they heard Venti's attempts to sound less suspicious in the screen.

"Are we sure that he's actually the Anemo Archon...?"Paimon asked, scratching her head in confusion - now actually wondering if Venti is actually Barbatos...

"I don't even know, Paimon..."Yūrei said exasperatedly as both ignored the fact that the ex-Sixth Harbinger called her by her name rather than use a teasing name on her.

"I'm starting to have regrets..."Kiran said, his palm was still on his face - now wondering if helping Venti was a regrettable decision.

Diluc:The second floor has less customers. But... Would you rather be in the center rather than upstairs?

[Venti laughs and scratches the back of his head]

Venti:Let's save the paid performance for next time. We'll be heading up now, see you in a bit!

[They ran upstairs as Diluc watches them move onto the second floor suspiciously before facing Charles]

Diluc:Watch them. There's something strange about them, particularly that bard. I'll go ask around...

Charles:Hm? Ask who exactly, Master Diluc?

[Two members of the Knights of Favonius entered the Tavern as Diluc crossed his arms with a displeased look]

Diluc:The "protectors" of Mondstadt...

Jean and Kaeya sigh in exasperation with how Diluc emphasized the word 'protectors' in a spiteful manner...

"Diluc..."Jean muttered under her breath, wondering when will Diluc choose to let go of what has happened in the past. Aether looked curious on why the Wine Tycoon despised the Knights of Favonius so much - he raised his hand to ask a question but was stopped by Kiran, who shook his head.

"Some things are better left untouched, kid. Don't try to dig up that hatchet..."He whispered, hoping that Aether would choose not to pry on this matter any longer as Aether sighed and nodded, but deep down - he was still curious.
