Seeing Venti's pitiful state, Makoto nodded and said, "Alright, then you can stay at my place tonight."
Fortunately, there were enough rooms at home, so letting Venti stay for a night was not a problem.
Makoto helped Venti walk out of Wangshu Inn.
When they arrived, Venti had used his Anemo element to bring Makoto, but when they left, Makoto borrowed the Anemo element to take Venti away.
The two of them took turns exerting effort.
Makoto supported Venti's arm, then leaped down from the high vantage point of Wangshu Inn, and then used Kaedehara Kazuha's 'Chihayaburu' to fly high into the air, gliding towards Liyue Harbor.
Perhaps because Venti was originally a Wind Sprite, his weight was lighter than Makoto had imagined.
And Venti, who was completely drunk, kept his gaze on Makoto for a moment longer before falling asleep.
This young man named Makoto was indeed as Morax had said; he could use elemental power without using a Vision...
...
Not long after, Makoto brought Venti home.
It was already late, but Ningguang, Beidou, and Shen He, these Little Ones, still hadn't gone to sleep.
Even though they were extremely sleepy and kept dozing off on the sofa, they were unwilling to go to bed.
The reason was simple: the Little Ones were all waiting for Makoto to come home.
They were worried that the house would be completely dark when Makoto returned, so they specifically sat in the living room to wait.
If Makoto didn't come home, they couldn't sleep peacefully.
As the doorknob turned, a creaking sound came from the door.
The little girls immediately sat up straight, their gazes all turning towards the doorway.
When they saw Makoto return, they all swarmed towards him.
At this moment, everyone noticed that Makoto was also supporting a young man whose clothes looked like they were from Mondstadt.
The young man looked harmless and honest,
but he had a strong smell of alcohol on him.
Looking at Ningguang and the others, Makoto asked with some surprise, "little girls, why haven't you gone to sleep yet?"
Ningguang tugged at Makoto's clothes and gently shook her head: "Brother Makoto didn't come home; I always felt like something was missing in my heart, so I couldn't sleep."
Beidou also followed up, saying, "Brother Makoto isn't home; Beidou isn't used to it either."
Shen He, on the other hand, raised her head to look at Makoto and said in a childish voice, "Brother Makoto, can you come home earlier next time? Shen He worries about you..."
Qiqi blinked his big eyes and said to Makoto, "Qiqi... can accompany Makoto when he goes out... to protect Makoto..."
Each of the little girls had eyes full of Makoto, and their voices were also full of worry and concern.
In response, Makoto's emotions also welled up in his heart.
He felt like an old father looking at his well-behaved and sensible daughters.
"I'll come home earlier from now on, so no one has to worry."
"Now, Little Ones, hurry up and rest; it's getting late."
The little girls then nodded and returned to their respective rooms.
Before leaving, Ningguang specifically ran to the kitchen to boil a pot of sobering tea.
She brought the tea to Makoto and then said with concern, "Brother Makoto, drink some sobering tea; it will make you feel better."
She smelled alcohol on Makoto and was worried that he had drunk too much and would harm his body,
so she specifically boiled sobering tea.
Ningguang paused, then looked up at Makoto, and seriously said, "Also, Brother Makoto, can you drink less alcohol in the future? Mother said drinking is bad for your health."
Seeing Ningguang's face full of concern, a warm current flowed through Makoto's heart.
Indeed, they say daughters are like little padded jackets, and this is truly correct.
He reached out and rubbed Ningguang's little head, then softly said, "Okay, I promise Ningguang, I'll drink less alcohol from now on."
Hearing Makoto agree, Ningguang's face also showed a joyful smile; she nodded vigorously: "Mhm, then Brother Makoto, get some early rest. Goodnight~"
Soon, all the little girls went upstairs to rest.
Makoto helped Venti sit on the sofa and gave him a bowl of sobering soup.
He pushed Venti's shoulder, but Venti was unresponsive, sleeping very soundly.
"Venti, can you hear me?"
Venti did not respond.
"Get up and drink the sobering soup."
Upon hearing the word "alcohol," Venti immediately sat up straight and excitedly said, "What kind of alcohol? Please give me a bowl! I can drink more!"
He truly is a complete drunkard.
He couldn't hear anything else,
but he could react immediately to words related to alcohol.
He truly doesn't know if he's deliberately playing deaf or if he genuinely loves alcohol that much.
After seeing Venti consume a bowl of sobering soup, Makoto also helped this so-called Anemo God to a room to rest.
There was a room specifically for temporary guests, and Makoto settled Venti there.
As soon as Venti's head touched the pillow, he was already snoring loudly.
He seemed to be mumbling about more alcohol.
This Lord Barbatos truly doesn't do anything serious.
Makoto exited the room and closed the door.
