Genshin React - Stories Teller

Chapter 5 - Venti Story [Part II]

Okay, now back from a technical glitch - the new chapter is now here. Currently, at the time of this chapter, my schedule is mixed with other items such as PSO2.

"Oh! I can't wait to see this." Bennett said as he picked up a brochure that advertised the facility's other entertainment system, this one being the holodeck and featuring an observation site seen of forest worlds.

"Do you have to bring the bard along?" Beidou said as she returned from facility lounge halls as almost half of her crew discovered that this place also served alcohol, and by now - local time - it was evening.

"Well, at least it's the station problem and not Mondstadt there. Those drunkard!" Diona said as she also returned to the theatre with her father before seating him - with help from Ran and a few from Springvale - at the back row of the seat for him to sober up.

"At least it was only your father there, this Tone-Deaf never knows how to stop himself!" Paimon said while neglecting her assistance as behind the fairy was Aether holding Venti before Ran rushed to assist him with the bard.

"More! Let's drink like no tomorrow!" Venti said as his face was drunk from the amount of alcohol that he drank alone before promptly collapsing face to the floor first.

"You said as if you are struggling but clearly - You aren't" Aether remarked as he alongside Ran seated Venti near the back seat of the theatre for him also to sober up. "This ale... Pale Ale... Well, this little french bottle really done it. At least it wasn't Romulan Ale, cause he wouldn't be moving anytime soon." Aether said as he held a blue-glassed Weinss-shaped bottle with the content liquid the same in his hand. 

Unknown to him, Ran act insisted the main girls as they were currently exchanging a few words that were mild at best.

"Oh, come on. Paimon is here for moral support!" Paimon said, but this comment was ignored as everyone looked at her with a deadpan expression.

"Hm... I do wonder, what will or will happen if Aether has god of wind beside him." Yae Miko whispered to Ei.

"Anything that bards cause for Aether, I'm sure he can handle it." Ei whispered back.

"Okay, settle down now. The view will be continued soon." Ran said as people were getting into their seats.

The room dims to a low level with few limits for guidance, and the screen begins to play.

The scene opened with the trio materializing from their transit via the teleporter just right in front of the ruined domain. 

"Transit completed," Aether said as he quickly stowed away his equipment and walked toward the domain. "Ready?" He asked while looking at his travel group who is trailing behind. 

Venti only nodded back and with that, Aether pressed the door open and began his search for Ellin's contact.

"Okay, now the real thing can begin, said Aether about those teleporters." Beidou said as she noticed while brief, she could deduce why Aether was suddenly from one location to another almost kilometers away from his previous location.

"Please refrain yourself for now, Captain." Ran said to address her with her official rank within the Crux Fleet that is considered universal or has there equivalent to it.

The trio soon arrived at the Temple of the Lion at the expected levels and looked around the area for any sign of Ellin's friend.

"The Temple of the Lion... We explored this place once before, didn't we? During the Stormterror incident." Paimon remarked as she miraculously remembered that they had come here by this time almost half a year at this point.
