"Yes! It was her, the one who kicked me last night!" Yu Jin said excitedly, looking at a graceful figure at the bar.
The woman wore a feathered nun's coif, which at first glance could be mistaken for her long hair. Below the coif were lace shorts and sexy thighs wrapped in black stockings.
Coupled with her appearance in the tavern at this time, she gave off a sense of being unconventional.
Of course, Yu Jin wasn't really qualified to judge others as unconventional.
Rosaria heard a somewhat familiar shout, turned her head, and saw Yu Jin.
This made her a bit awkward, but that was all. She picked up a glass of wine, walked over to Yu Jin on her own, and said:
"What I did last night was wrong, but you weren't hurt, were you? Let me buy you a drink as my apology."
Yu Jin was momentarily stunned because he didn't expect her to be so polite. Mainly, Rosaria's attire was different from that of a typical nun, which led him to a wrong judgment.
But it was good that she apologized. Yu Jin smiled and said, "I accept your apology. It's good to meet you. I'm Yu Jin, and you?"
"Rosaria," Rosaria replied indifferently.
"Can you let me respec my stats?" Yu Jin suddenly said something unclear.
"What?" Rosaria was a bit confused. Respec stats? What was that?
"Nothing, I was just talking nonsense," Yu Jin chuckled.
Rosaria didn't mind. Was it strange for someone as unconventional as Yu Jin to say difficult-to-understand things?
"Here, you drink this first. Order whatever you want, no need to pay." Yu Jin secretly moved a glass of unknown liquor next to Rosaria under Venti's gaze.
"Oh? So generous? Then I won't be polite." Rosaria's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this, but it was far less than Venti's, whose eyes were still glowing.
"By the way, as a nun, why are you out beating people up instead of sleeping at night?" Yu Jin asked, curiously observing Rosaria.
Because in his impression, nuns didn't seem to do such things.
"What nun? I don't acknowledge that identity. I'm just performing my duties." Rosaria seemed very resistant to Yu Jin calling her a nun. As soon as Yu Jin finished speaking, she retorted.
"What duties?" Yu Jin asked curiously.
"Clearing the darkness of Mondstadt," Rosaria said indifferently, as if it were an insignificant matter.
Yu Jin pointed to himself and said, "Then do I look like darkness to you?"
Rosaria couldn't hold back her composure. She remembered Yu Jin wandering around the Church of Favonius this morning and retorted:
"No, you're a grown man, and you weren't hurt. Do you really need to be so bothered?"
Yu Jin showed no sign of embarrassment. He shook his head and said, "No, I just think your job is a bit dangerous. Do you have friends?"
Often accompanied by darkness, one might unknowingly become deeply entangled in it. Yu Jin was once like that, but someone pulled him back.
"Not many, but yes, I do." As if remembering something, Rosaria's sharp eyes softened.
"That's good. I was thinking if you didn't have any friends, I'd be one." Yu Jin nodded and said nothing more.
The light in one's heart can dispel the deepest darkness, even when in You Sui.
"Hahaha, Yu Jin, that's not how you hit on someone. Wait until I finish my drink, I'll teach you how to flirt with girls." Venti almost spat out his wine when he heard Yu Jin's words.
It was his first time seeing such a direct and simple way of hitting on someone.
Yu Jin felt Rosaria's strange gaze on him and immediately became displeased.
"What do you mean? What do you mean? It's just making friends, does it need so many twists and turns? Boys and girls can have pure friendships, okay!"
Like him and the Fire Keeper, Yu Jin thought proudly.
Venti looked at him with some surprise, then smiled and said, "As expected of my best friend, your thoughts are the same as mine!"
Yu Jin glanced at Venti, thinking, 'You just want a drink ticket, okay?'
However, he thought of something else and teased Venti, saying, "By the way, are all the Anemo God's nuns like this? Why are even nuns starting to fight?"
"Isn't that just right? Who stipulated that nuns can only heal?" Venti showed no embarrassment at all; instead, he became proud.
He was happy that an anomaly like Rosaria could appear among the nuns, as freedom was the most fundamental attribute of Mondstadt.
"It's just me," Rosaria said, seeing Yu Jin and Venti chatting happily.
"Most nuns still conform to their identity. It's fine if I'm the only anomaly." Rosaria explained further, fearing they wouldn't understand.
"I see," Yu Jin pretended to understand, then asked her, "What do you think of the Anemo God?"
"Hmm..." Rosaria didn't expect Yu Jin to ask this question. She frowned in thought for a moment before saying:
"The Anemo God? I'm indifferent to him. He hasn't appeared in Mondstadt for a long time, but I'm very grateful to him for establishing Mondstadt."
"I don't think so. This Anemo God is always so unserious, not even managing his own nation," Yu Jin said, putting his arm around Venti's neck.
"What are you saying? The Anemo God must have his reasons," Venti retorted, displeased.
Then he asked Rosaria, "Rosaria, what would you do if a powerful person who hides his strength appeared in Mondstadt?"
"Albedo?" Rosaria's delicate brows furrowed. She looked at Venti. Albedo's friend?
But she still calmly said, "I would usually monitor him. If he has no intention of harming Mondstadt, then so be it; if he does, I will do my utmost to stop him."
Towards the end, Rosaria's aura suddenly became murderous, but neither Venti nor Yu Jin took it seriously.
Yu Jin looked at Rosaria's nun's coif and asked, "Since you're from the Church of Favonius, you should know a bit about the Anemo God, right? Tell me about him."
"What do you want to know? I only know a limited amount more than the average person." Rosaria reverted to her lax demeanor. Anyway, she wasn't very concerned with all the duties of a nun.
"For example, how old is the Anemo God this year?" Yu Jin asked a question that neither Venti nor Rosaria had expected.
"I remember Barbatos, no, I think it was Bartobas... never mind! Anyway, Lord Anemo God has been awake from a wisp of the thousand winds for over three thousand years."
Rosaria, unexpectedly, didn't even remember the Anemo God's name clearly. But even so, she at least answered Yu Jin's question.
"Over three thousand?" Yu Jin rubbed his chin, not minding Rosaria's disrespect towards the Anemo God, and then said, "How does that age rank among the gods?"
"This..., I only know about the Anemo God. I don't know much about the gods of other nations." Rosaria shook her head decisively. She didn't care about such things at all.
"Hehe, that's quite old," Venti chuckled, saying with a hint of pride.
"Hey, hey, don't look at me like that. I'm the most learned bard in Mondstadt, okay?" Venti quickly explained when he saw Rosaria giving him a suspicious look.
"How come I've never heard of you, a famous bard, in Mondstadt?" Rosaria muttered.
"Now you have!" Venti stood with his hands on his hips, very confident.
"I say, if a guy tens of thousands of years old came to Mondstadt, what do you think Barbatos should call him?" Yu Jin asked Venti casually.
"Uh..., I think gods wouldn't care about such titles," Venti scratched his head and said with a smile.
"Is that so? I think so too." Yu Jin also smiled, though it wasn't obvious.
Rosaria watched the two chatting animatedly, only finding their way of thinking truly peculiar. Everyone else discussed the gods' great power, only these two were here making fun of the gods.
Shaking her head, Rosaria downed the cocktail she ordered, then stood up and said, "Thanks, it's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying drink!"
"Rosaria, if you need anything, you can find me at the Church of Favonius."
With that, she walked out of Angel's Share.
Yu Jin felt he had been sitting long enough. He looked at the numerous empty glasses in front of Venti and also stood up, saying:
"Alright, I've been sitting for too long. I need to go for a walk. You keep drinking."
"Hehe, bye-bye. I'll find you for drinks again later." Venti remained seated at the table, showing no intention of getting up.
"Oh, right, Mondstadt won't have any problems, will it?" Just as Yu Jin was about to walk out of Angel's Share, Venti's casual words came from behind him.
"What bad things could someone who doesn't even drink do?"
Hearing this, Venti looked at the still full glass of wine on Yu Jin's seat and drank even more heartily.
