The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [454]

“Eh… ehehe?”

Standing awkwardly in his little skirt, Venti stared at Jia Changjiang for a moment before tapping his head playfully and sticking out his tongue.

“…”

Jia Changjiang studied Venti quietly, deep in thought.

A short skirt, braided hair, his usual hat and flower still perched jauntily atop his head…

Had Venti finally embraced the path of cross-dressing?

Still, is that it? Even the clothes he wore as Barbatos revealed more skin than this…

“Not bad,” Jia Changjiang nodded approvingly, before casually taking a seat. “Don't just stand there—carry on.”

He waved a hand dismissively. “Keep the music going; keep dancing.”

“Mister Jax, why are you so calm?!” Paimon flew over in disbelief. “Aren’t you even a little surprised seeing the bard in women's clothing?”

“No matter what you guys get up to, I honestly wouldn't be shocked anymore.” Jia Changjiang crossed his legs lazily. “Lumine, Venti, Klee… with you three, anything is possible.”

“You could tell me right now that you blew up Mondstadt Cathedral, and I'd probably believe you.” He shrugged indifferently. “So there's nothing worth fussing about. Go on—keep dancing.”

“If you have more outfits, bring them out. Or are you waiting for me to put one on myself?”

“Ugh, this is no fun at all!” Lumine sulked. “Venti in a dress was supposed to surprise you! You're ruining my fun by being this calm!”

“Can’t you let me have a little entertainment for once?” Lumine huffed indignantly.

“Ahahaha~” Venti laughed lightly, holding up his hands helplessly.

While Lumine dragging him into women’s clothing was certainly unexpected, truthfully, he found the experience quite amusing.

“Hmph!” Lumine pouted defiantly. “Marjorie, make sure to get me a copy of those photos later—I’m going to make an entire album!”

“Of course, no problem!” Marjorie happily agreed.

After all, she’d run With Wind Comes Glory for years, expanded her business, and gotten involved in various trades around Mondstadt…

She wasn’t exactly as wealthy as Diluc, but she’d long since lost interest in Mora itself.

Buying [Anemo Sigils] from adventurers had just been one of many ways to amuse herself.

Yet even Marjorie hadn’t expected that Mondstadt’s most notorious bard-slacker would look so surprisingly cute in a skirt.

She felt like a door had just opened into a whole new world.

So… cute outfits aren’t exclusively for girls after all?

Surprisingly, Venti seemed perfectly comfortable wearing the little skirt, as if it wasn’t his first time at all.

“Jax, are you really just going to sit there and watch?” Venti smiled mischievously. “Don’t you want to join in?”

At Venti’s teasing invitation, Jia Changjiang actually paused to consider it seriously.

“You know… now that you mention it, it might be kind of interesting…”

Hearing Jia Changjiang’s unexpected interest, Lumine perked up immediately. “You wanna help pick outfits for Venti? Or maybe try one yourself… It’s actually pretty fun!”

Paimon, meanwhile, buried her face in her hands in embarrassment, shocked that Jia Changjiang was considering joining Lumine’s antics.

Klee watched wide-eyed, pure curiosity sparkling in her gaze.

...

About ten minutes later…

Jia Changjiang emerged confidently from the changing room, striking a casual pose in a pale purple dress.

“My eyes!”

Lumine hurriedly shielded Klee’s innocent eyes, dramatically lamenting the visual torture she'd just experienced.

“Ahahaha~!” Venti burst into delighted laughter at Jia Changjiang’s appearance.

Jia Changjiang, meanwhile, appeared perfectly composed, unfazed by his unusual attire.

“As expected of Mister Jax… just as shameless as the bard…” Paimon muttered dryly.

After their playful dress-up session concluded, everyone changed back into their regular clothes. Jia Changjiang stifled a yawn, while Klee clutched the new clothes Lumine bought her, bouncing cheerfully back toward the Knights of Favonius.

“My eyes…” Lumine was still reeling from the trauma of seeing Jia Changjiang’s confident pose, clutching her forehead dramatically.

Eventually, after recovering from her suffering, Lumine reconfirmed their plans with Venti.

“Remember, Venti—tomorrow at Windrise! I’ll bring Klee along.” Lumine reminded firmly.

“Yes, yes, I know. When have I ever gone back on my word?” Venti winked playfully at Lumine and Jia Changjiang.

“Then it’s settled.” Jia Changjiang nodded decisively.

After safely escorting Klee back to the Knights’ headquarters, Jia Changjiang, Lumine, and Paimon returned to the Serenitea Pot for some rest.

Having a Serenitea Pot was truly convenient—no more lugging around tents.

Lumine had already prepared guest rooms inside, conveniently close to her own.

Before they knew it, morning had come.

As arranged earlier, Jia Changjiang and Lumine headed to the square in front of Mondstadt Cathedral, where Barbara had asked them to wait.

When they arrived, Jean, Barbara, and Klee were already standing there waiting for them.

“Haah…” Lumine sighed wistfully at the scene. “Everyone here is a cute girl—except for Jia Changjiang. Such a waste…”

“You’re definitely plotting something again. With me and Paimon here, you can forget any shady plans.” Jia Changjiang crossed his arms suspiciously.

“Hmph! What’s wrong with a little girl-on-girl bonding?” Lumine shot back defiantly.

“You know, Lumine, whenever you keep quiet and stop thinking, you’re actually a pretty cute girl. But as soon as you start scheming, forget ‘cute girl’—I'm not even sure you're a girl at all,” Jia Changjiang teased mercilessly.

Soon, they reached Jean and the others.

“Jean, Barbara, Klee,” Jia Changjiang nodded in greeting. “We’re all set.”

“Barbara and Lisa already spoke with me,” Jean hesitated slightly before continuing. “I've thought it through carefully. Regardless of whether I approve or not, Klee will inevitably go. She’s always been this way.”

Klee blushed sheepishly at Jean’s words.

“So…” Jean paused briefly, then made up her mind. “I've decided—I will accompany you all.”

“Please allow me to join your journey.”
