When the oversized "pink cat" suddenly jumped out of the bushes, not only Adeline and the others were frightened, but even Ganyu's heartbeat accelerated. Mondstadt actually has such a big cat that can talk? Wait, this isn't a cat, is it?

Ganyu looked carefully and realized that she had misunderstood. That was not a big cat at all, but a cute little girl with cat ears and a cat tail. She had lively pink hair and a delicate face that always had a stubborn and proud expression. Of course, there was a reason why she was mistaken for a big cat. After all, the furry ears and tail, plus the tiptoes when walking, really looked like a cat.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally drove the wild boar here. Are you all right?" The girl ran briskly to the crowd, looked at everyone first, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Her name is Diona Katzlein, and she is a bartender at the "Cat's Tail Tavern" in the city. Usually, she occasionally goes to the wild to find some strange ingredients for making cocktails. She always says: "Drink this lizard sea salt wine, and your alcoholic life will end!"

However, for some reason, the drinks Diona mixes always taste particularly good, as if cursed. So she keeps looking for unpalatable ingredients, hoping to make those drunkards vomit. Today, while looking for ingredients, she accidentally ran into a group of wild boars, and her hunting instinct was aroused...

"Miss Diona, are you chasing wild boars? So they were chased by you?" Seeing Diona's embarrassment, Adeline couldn't help but sigh. In the neighboring town of Qingquan, Diona's father, Duraf, was the best hunter in the town and had a close relationship with the "Morning Light Winery". Adeline naturally knew them. The commotion just now was obviously caused by Diona, who was of hunter descent, chasing wild boars on a whim.

"But when chasing wild boars, you can't drive them into the crowd. If Miss Ganyu wasn't here, it would be troublesome." Although no harm was caused, Adeline still severely reprimanded Diona.

"Well... I'm very sorry. There won't be a next time." For Diona, who regarded "Dawn Winery" as her mortal enemy, it was not easy to accept Adeline's criticism, but she knew that she had done something wrong, so she had to bow her head and apologize.

"Haha, it has cat ears and a tail, but its movements are so clumsy." The maid Haley said with a laugh.

"What...what a mess! Who is clumsy!?"

"Whoever refutes it will be the one to do it, puff puff puff."

"Oh! Meow!"

Diona must be very angry. The cat's tail is straight up and its ears are standing high. Huh? Aren't these ears and tail decorations?

Ganyu looked puzzled when she saw some of Diona's body moving.

"The ears and tail are the symbols of the Katzlein family. Their family has a fusion of non-human blood." Adeline noticed Ganyu's confusion and explained casually.

"The Katzlein family, there is such a family, is it common in Mond?"

"No, from what I know there are only Diona and her father Duraf, both of whom are natural hunters with the keen senses of a cat."

When mentioning Duraf, Adeline's mouth curled up slightly. Obviously, she thought that the burly man with cat ears was a little weird and not as cute as Diona.

Non-human blood, half human, half cat? Looking at Diona chasing and playing in the vineyard, Ganyu's eyes were full of doubts. She and Diona have many similarities, both are human-fairy hybrids, one is the daughter of Qilin, and the other is the daughter of cat demon.

Just like the unicorn horns on Ganyu's head, Diona's cat ears and tail always show her non-human identity. But why can Diona get along with humans without any barriers? Why do others have no prejudice against her because she has non-human blood?

Ganyu saw something incredible in Diona.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Do you want to fight?" Just as Ganyu was looking at Diona in confusion, the kitten who had just finished cleaning up Haley also walked up to her. In fact, Diona had been curious about Ganyu since she came to the winery.

Who is this big sister? She looks so pretty. And the horns on her head... well, they are prettier than my cat ears. I'm so jealous.

Perhaps it was because of Ganyu's gentle appearance, or the closeness of being a fairy beast, Diona had a good first impression of this big sister. Of course, even so, you can't stare at Diona, or she will get angry, hum!

"Sorry... I'm just confused."

"Confused? Is there anything about me that confuses you?"

As she spoke, Diona waved her tail casually, and the tail immediately formed a question mark.

"Your Katzlein family is a family of special bloodline, different from ordinary people."

"That's right, what next?"

"Your physical features are obviously different from those of ordinary people. Don't you think others will look at you differently?"

"Huh? Why should I care about that? What other people think is their business, not mine."

Diona seemed to find Ganyu's question strange and responded with disdain.

"This... Even if you don't mind, others will mind."

“I do mind.”

"That..."

"There are always drunkards who want to touch my ears and tail, and say it's fun. What fun is that? My noble ears and tail are not for them to touch! Humph!" Diona proudly complained about those drunkards in front of Ganyu.

But this was still not the answer Ganyu wanted. What she wanted to know most was how Diona would deal with the relationship between half-humans and humans. And Diona's answer was simple: I have never thought about such a boring thing.
