A story about Venti. Everyone's favorite shota-trap God of Anemo. You can read the title and the description, you know what this is about. A little slice-of-life, romantic-comedy-drama story.
"Come on Traveler, let's go! The world is full of..." Venti's gaze towards Aether, the traveler that helped him and the Knights of Favonius save Mondstadt and Dvalin, became sharper as his words stopped. Venti noticed Aether wasn't even paying attention to him and Aether looked like he was paying close attention to something in the distance. Amber and Lisa were with the two males on a little commission to get rid of an unusually large amount of hilichurls and slimes on the outskirts of Mondstadt. As the Outrider and Librarian effectively used the Overcharged elemental reaction to beat down their enemies, Aether's eyes couldn't be taken away from them.
"Those thighs..." Aether says softly as he looks at the skin revealed by Amber's outfit and then the big melons on Lisa. They appealed ever since Aether met them, of course he hadn't made moves yet even if they were all good friends.
"Traveler? Is everything okay?" Venti asked with a small tap on Aether's shoulder to snap him back to reality. Aether looked back to Venti and smiled at him.
"Yeah, everything's fine. Just fine." Aether's tone suggested he was gleeful about something as his eyes gazed upon his allies like Xiangling stalking her next ingredient.
"Miss Lisa and Amber are certainly skilled. They're pretty good at fighting. It's cool to look at them go all out on those hilichurls!" Venti points out as he joins Aether in the staring at their female companions, but Aether wasn't looking at them for what Venti was pointing out.
"That's not all to look at." Aether remarked with a smirk on his face. He turned to Venti and put a hand on his shoulder, "Venti. You wouldn't get it. I'll treat you to some wine if you don't ask any further." Aether then walked over to the two girls to assist them in speeding up this situation and Venti follows suit after being left in confusion as to what Aether meant.
Angel's Share... Near Midnight...
Venti downed his next out of several dozen wines that Aether agreed to buy for him just to get Venti off his back for perving on his female companions. "Ah!" Venti puts down the bottle next to all the others in a large pile. Diluc was staring at him, generally calm, but annoyed at the situation, his natural state for all things. Diluc was aware that Venti was way older than he let in on, so there was no harm in letting him drink, especially since Venti didn't even go down after 30 bottles. Aether sat right next to Venti on the front bar and he gazed at someone else in the room as he wasn't of age to drink.
At a different table, Jean was sitting with Kaeya and Noelle at her side, they seemed to be discussing paperwork while drinking at the same time. As Venti glanced over at what Aether was looking at, Noelle bent over to pick up a dropped paper and put it back on the table. "What a great ass." Aether murmured to himself as he kept looking.
"What?" Venti wasn't sure he heard that right as he leaned over to Aether.
"What?" Aether immediately acted as if he didn't say anything when he realized Venti heard what he said. The two stared at each other in awkward silence for a bit until Aether finally broke the silence. "I'm tired. I'm going to head out." Aether gets up and heads out the door after putting the mora he owed Diluc for Venti's drinking spree on the table.
"What's up with Aether?" Venti says as he scratched his head. As an Archon, Venti didn't exactly get the best social experience over the years. He went around and played music ever since the times of Vennessa, but he never really settled down. Needless to say, Venti had never experienced the effects of hormones and lust, at least not towards women.
Jean and Noelle also head out the door as Kaeya sits down next to Venti and throws some mora on the table. "Make it a double." Diluc gets Kaeya his order right away, though he clearly didn't like taking any orders whatsoever from Kaeya. "Hehe. I ought to give Aether a talk about eyeing women. He won't be getting any of them with those perverted actions." Kaeya makes it apparent that he knew exactly what Aether was doing and had the sharpness to notice exactly what Aether was doing even while talking to Jean.
"Perverted?!" Venti says with a surprised look on his face. He didn't think Aether was that type of person, which also showed that while sometimes Venti could read people like books, other times he was clueless as ever.
"Heh. Can't blame the guy too much. He's in that age." Kaeya says with a chuckle as he enjoyed seeing people make fools out of themselves, even if it was his friends. "What was your first guess bard?" Kaeya says as he downs the glass that Diluc puts in front of him.
"Don't forget you were once the same." Diluc says as he finds Kaeya's talk about Aether's behavior hypocritical. "Perhaps even worse." Diluc and Kaeya grew up with one another, so they knew what the other was like some time ago.
Kaeya scoffs and waves his hand off, "Tsk. You don't have to bring it up." Kaeya clearly regretted some of his unspeakable actions, but he wasn't going to talk about it now.
"Mr. Kaeya? Can you explain?" Venti felt like Kaeya knew more about this than him, so he may as well get the story of Aether's actions.
Diluc walks away as Kaeya began to explain. "It's real simple. Aether's got eyes for the girls, the women, the cats."
"Cats?" Venti took that one seriously because he was allergic to cats, he may have to avoid them if Aether was eyeing some.
"Just a saying. Let's just say there's a time in every man's life where he wants to get a girl." Kaeya winks at Venti as he takes another sip. "And why wouldn't he? If you didn't know, women have extraordinary powers."
That was a new one for Venti, in all his time being around Mondstadt, he never heard of women having these extraordinary powers. "Powers? What powers?" He asked curiously.
"You see. They can get people's attention just by proudly walking around, crossing their legs and swaying their hips. They can make guys buy them drinks, jewelry, flowers, all for a sweet few words or a seat beside them on a full moon night. And when they've done something wrong, all they have to do is make a pretty face and they're forgiven." Kaeya was clearly exaggerating, he was trying to mess with Venti because that was just how he was. Kaeya really did wonder how Venti would take it.
"Wow! Who knew?" Venti's eyes were widened by Kaeya's words and right after, Kaeya stood up and sets his glass on the counter.
"Later." Goodbye to Venti, gives Diluc a little 'this is just harmless fun' look before leaving the bard to think about what he said. Diluc didn't have much to say about that and just goes to attend to other business as Venti is left to think about what he was just told.
Windrise... Vennessa's Tree...
Venti stood right on the shore of the water that was just below some rocks nearby the great oak tree that Vennessa was said to have ascended to the heavens at. He stared at his reflection, which was clear in the blue water, illuminated by the bright moonlight. 'Women have extraordinary powers.' He couldn't forget what Kaeya said to him. He just had to find out if what Kaeya said was true.
'Maybe if I was a girl, Aether would want to pay attention to me too.' Venti decided then and there that he was going to try this himself. Most people were unaware of this, but Venti's appearance wasn't an actual body of his, he was simply creating a body using his Archon powers, even the vision on his waist was a fake one so that people wouldn't realize that he was using the power of Anemo without a vision. However, that also followed that Venti didn't have to stay in his current appearance, he could change it at will. Venti didn't want to make too many changes, so he keeps them to a minimum.
Venti's body is engulfed in a bright green energy as he hovers slightly above the ground. Wind surrounds his body and the transformation started. As Venti gazed at his reflection, his hair grew a little longer and the hair at the sides of his face curved in to frame his face more. It made his hairstyle even more feminine than it already was. His clothing started to change too, his vest changed into a blouse as his chest also got larger with a bit of skin showing on top. His shorts changed into a light green miniskirt and his white stockings no longer connected to said skirt, so a bit of skin of his thighs was now exposed. His legs also grew a little bit plumper and his body shape became more like the hourglass figure, though it kept Venti's height and size generally the same. Thus with just a few edits, Venti was a fully-fledged girl.
Venti stared at her new reflection, it looked strange at first, but Venti then winked cutely at her reflection and smiled, thinking that this should suffice. "Okay." Venti's voice had changed to, it was much more feminine, as soft as a dandelion that rode the gentle breeze. Teyvat was about to get a taste of the Goddess of Anemo.
Mondstadt City... The Next Morning...
Venti walked through the streets as the sun was on the horizon and the morning light filled the city of Freedom. 'What was it that Mr. Kaeya said? Walk proudly, cross your legs and sway your hips.' Venti thinks that as she holds her head high and starts to cross her legs as she walked. One foot in front of the other, a simple elegant walk that girls like Jean and Mona did. As Venti walked like that, she got the looks of onlookers right away. Some of the male Knights of Favonius that were patrolling early couldn't bare to walk by without looking at the beauty that was Venti and even some of the women that were around stared at Venti. Venti was taking in the spotlight with cute smiles and waves towards everyone that looked in her direction.
"Uh, hey ma'am! Do you want to sample a breakfast bun?" Venti's attention is grabbed by an open food cart that was selling some baked buns early in the morning. However, this merchant offered Venti the bun for free, which was really the only way Venti could afford anything because Venti had no mora in general, though Venti was a god and didn't really need to eat so she didn't die of starvation.
"Oh, thanks mister." Venti took the bun into her hands and took a big bite right away. "Wow. This is amazing!" She smiled kindly as she found the taste of the bun quite good.
"The least I could do for someone like you." The merchant chuckled sheepishly as he spoke. Venti was a bit confused as to why the merchant was doing that, completely unaware that she was actually being flirted with.
"I'm sure you'll sell cartloads of these!" Venti says as she continues her walk and she leaves the merchant flustered at her kindness.
On the roof of one of the buildings of Mondstadt sat a curious fellow, Albedo the Head Investigator of the Knights of Favonius, a master alchemist. He noticed Venti's little pride jog and was sketching her in the process. He soon had a nice drawing of the new female Venti. "Now where will this go?" Albedo looked like he just found his next topic of investigation, but obviously he did take note that the bard that constantly wandered Mondstadt had suddenly changed genders, even if the public didn't realize it right away due to not really paying too much attention to Venti in the first place.
Elsewhere in the city, Aether had woken up and was walking around ready to go on his daily activities. "Come on, Paimon wants to get breakfast at Good Hunter!" Paimon was being a bit pushy in the morning when it came to food, as usual, however both of them have their attention redirected to Venti as she walks up.
"Hey! Traveler!" Venti yells out as she walks towards them in the same elegant way she's been doing all morning. Aether and Paimon's eyes widened as they looked at Venti. It look a few seconds to process what had happened. Aether was at a loss for words as to what he was looking at, not only was he staring at one of the most beautiful girls he's ever seen, that girl happened to be Venti. It had to be Venti, she looked way too much like him.
"Tone-Deaf Bard?! Is that you?!" Paimon asked with a startled tone.
"You bet it is Paimon." Venti says with a smile, but whatever gender, Paimon still called Venti by that annoying nickname. "Aether, I heard you wanted to look at girls. So do you like what you see?" Venti twirls around for Aether to take a good look at her. She was just as shapely as Amber and infinitely more useful as a teammate.
"Venti... What the hell is this?" Aether looked like he was very torn between screaming in frustration and screaming in joy.
"The knight would seek his princess far and wide only to realize his best friend was his princess all along." Venti says with a cheeky tone, another one of his tendencies to phrase things like a story rather than actually explaining things. "Mr. Kaeya told me women have extraordinary powers, and they you had eyes for them, so I decided to give it a try myself." That was Venti's simple explanation.
"Huh? Kaeya?" Paimon had a feeling that this was one of Kaeya's schemes again.
"Venti, whatever Kaeya told you is probably a load of crap." Aether says very straightforwardly. He and Paimon were tricked by Kaeya before and while it did work out in the end, they didn't exactly appreciate being tricked.
"Oh? You don't like this Traveler?" Venti was afraid that she might have made a mistake by doing this. That would suck to embarrass herself in front of Aether like this, for some reason that felt a lot more shameful than Venti thought it should be.
"No, no! I do." Aether corrects himself and clarifies that he did like Venti's new form. "You're... uh... very cute." Aether didn't know how to put it, but that was the first thing he thought of when describing Venti now. She was cute indeed, very visually appealing, Aether could stare at her all day. "Let's... get something to eat. I'll pay." With that, Aether, Paimon and Venti head for Good Hunter for a little morning meal, but what was going to go down was just beginning.
