Dragonspine, the Winter Resort,
What an interesting place it was~
*Not just as a unique vacation spot,
But also as a good place to conduct his research~
*It was so great, he somehow made a small poem!
How was that even possible?!
-Uncle Tirzad, can't you continue with your research later...? We are still supposed to be on vacation, right...? -A familiar, yet quite annoyed voice was soon heard from nearby, as a pouting Jeht had just put the middle section of the snowman on top of the bottom one. -At least come and join me in making the Snowman!
-...As sudden as Jeht's request is, I have to agree with her. We came here to "relax", right...? -Tadhla soon added, looking and sounding quite thoughtful. -Besides, making a snowman should be easier than skiing. Shouldn't require as much energy, either.
-Your Snowman is sure to become very Energetic. -Cyno couldn't help but soon say, as he was currently working on his and Tighnari's Snowman. -...Unlike our Snowman, which is clearly Frosty.
-Cyno, stop with the stupid puns. -Tighnari said a moment later, looking and sounding mostly calm, as he continued working on their Snowman. -We are currently making a Snowman, not whatever you are trying to do.
He made sure to add with as much annoyance as he could,
And failing miserably, since he couldn't really bring himself to be annoyed...
*Sure, Cyno's puns were really bad most of the time, which made them annoying,
But his friend was clearly feeling much better now and he wanted it to stay that way...
...
...
Not like he would ever admit it to Cyno.
-Fischl, I just finished with the Fantasy and Adventure sections! -Bennet told the other, as soon as he came out in between the bookcases. -Is there anything else you need help with...?
-I also finish help. With Humor and Horror section. -Razor was the next to say, as he came out from between another pair of bookcases. -...Can help more, but better not reading book for "Summary". Only book or section title. Read whole book is hard for me...
-There is no need to. Your help is already more than enough. -Fischl reassured him, as she glanced between him and Bennet, before turning her gaze towards the library itself. -...I always loved reading fantasy books, but I never imagined that someday I would become a Librarian, albeit a temporary one. Having to take care of the whole Library, including the Forbidden Section, is still mostly an unfamiliar responsibility to myself. As such, I cannot help but be most grateful for the assistance that both of you so earnestly provided me and as such...
-Fischl, you are starting to talk formally again. -Her words were soon interrupted by Bennet, as he motioned to the third person in the room. -Soon, Razor wouldn't understand what you are saying.
-...I already not understand some words. -The Wolf boy admitted moments later, as he looked a little confused. -...But I understood you thank for help and not need more. -He soon added, before there were a few seconds of silence, as his expression soon turned thoughtful. -...I not know much about being Librarian, but I can promise you do a good job, Fischl. -He made sure to add with a small smile on his face, before he proceeded to approach and pat her on the head. -You do very good job. I sure Lisa be proud.
-He is right, you know. You only recently took over as (Temporary) Librarian and you are already doing very well! -The now-lucky adventurer agreed right away, as he approached the two of them, a reassuring smile soon appeared on his face. Was it just his imagination or was her face becoming redder and redder...? She was getting embarrassed just from this...? -...Fischl, are you alright...?
He couldn't help but soon ask her, in reply to which Razor moved his hand away,
As he and Bennet were now looking towards her in some confusion and slight worry,
All the while the person in question couldn't help but think back on what just happened…
*Hearing that she was doing great as the Temporary Librarian was really embarrassing,
The praise and the Razor's spontaneous action making it hard for her to even think straight...
…
…
Feeling like this responsibility was too much for her to take on alone,
She asked her two friends for help, before long feeling grateful for them agreeing...
...
...
This help was more than enough for her and yet,
Saying she did well and then...E-even...
...
She was supposed to be their contemporary!
So why did they, as if towards a young child...?
*She found that she didn't dislike this kind of attention from them, feeling like a sibling,
But considering her job as both the Adventurer Guild Investigator and currently also the Temporary Librarian...!
...
And where did Oz vanish to, once again...?
*It seems to be happening quite frequently these days...
...
...
Knock! Knock!
-I apologize for interrupting your discussion, but seeing as I currently have some spare time on my hands, I would like to join you in the task of "Library organizing". -The familiar voice of Emilia was soon heard from the direction of the closed door, sounding mostly serious, yet also slightly sad and unsure. -I was told by the Winds that you have already done most of the organizing and would like to volunteer my help in the more..."Complicated" management matters, if you do not mind.
The Alchemist explained, soon calmly waiting for a reply,
Which didn't come for a while, since Fischl was still wondering what just happened...
*First she was really embarrassed by being told she did a good job and the...P-pat...!
And then Alchemist Emilia knocked on the door and that sudden proposal...
...
...
Though she still wasn't quite sure how to go about the Library's Forbidden Section...
*Some help with that will be greatly appreciated...
...
Especially from someone who was an expert in Alchemy,
One of the few people who learned this, until-recently, mysterious knowledge...
...
"Laws of the universe interact with one another, creating this wondrous world. Seven elements of the world come together, weaving your journey. Through this ancient and mythical practice, can you create your own world with all things you've gathered on your journey?"
...
...
Now that she thought more of it,
The Traveler must be one of these "few people".
"How in Teyvat's name did it turn out this way?!",
Was the question Venti couldn't help but keep asking himself over and over,
As the Archon was pouting hard, which only made his situation that much more "problematic"...
...
This very embarrassing situation that he found himself in...
-VENTI, YOU ARE JUST SO ADORABLE!~
-VENTI'S SO CUTE!~
-DADDY'S THE CUTEST!
-MY LITTLE BROTHER IS BACK!~
-I am sorry, Father...But I am going to call you "Little Brother" now too.
-Benti is cute, yes.
-Vepti is like small kitty.
-Venmi still smells nice~
-I want to rub small Fenti.
-I want to adopt Vanti...?
This and more was soon heard from both the children and the cats,
As everyone was practically gushing over his smaller form now...
*While neither Jean, Barbara or any of the "Other Adults in the room" was helping him!
...
...
Yes, he was currently in his "Toddler Form",
And he couldn't help but recall the way it happened!
...
"Deaconess Barbara and Acting Grandmaster Jean will be arriving at your location soon, so you should go and meet them.
...Actually, the two asked about how the "meeting" went and so we told them, in summary. They became understandably worried and wanted to see you as soon as possible."
After the Winds informed him of this,
He didn't lose time in going to meet the two...
...
"Oh, it's Venti! They got Venti!"
"Venti, are you okay now...? Or are you still sad?"
"Everyone was worried about you, Father."
"We wanted to help you feel better, Daddy, so we waited for Miss Jean and Miss Lisa to get you!"
"Venti, Venti, do you want to play?"
"Play? What if Venti wants to do something else?"
"...Right, Venti is sad, so he should decide. What do you want to do now, Venti...?"
"We will join you, so choose what you want!"
The children(except for Lily) were patiently waiting near the city gates, by Swan and Lawrence,
Who made sure to keep them company, while Jean and Barbara left to "fetch" him...
*The children wanted to come along with the two, but still patiently waited,
Understanding that this was done to keep them safe, in case something happens...
...
It was truly admirable how much patience those small children had!
It was way more patience than even some adults had!
...
...
And then they all decided to go to Cat's Tail and check out this new "Rent a Cat" service...
*It was actually his idea, one they were happy about, since he wanted to check out what it was for himself.
...
Then, as soon as they entered the Tavern, came the cat's chorus,
Which, thanks to him being an elemental, he understood perfectly...
...
"It's the Windblume Festival, everyone has lot's of fun~
Everyone gathers around, playing together~
They look very happy, enjoying their time~
Happy Windblume Festival!
...
It's the Windblume Festival~
Everyone has lots of fun~
So happy, we want to join in~
...
Join the fun, get belly rubs~
Join the fun, eat lots of fish~
Join the fun, longue in the sun~
Big and small Human, pamper us now~
...
It's the Windblume Festival~
Everyone has lots of fun~
So happy, we want to join in~
...
Human, are you sad?
You love us, right?
Hey human, want to cuddle?
If you do, you will feel better!
...
It's the Windblume Festival~
Everyone has lots of fun~
So happy, we want to join in~
...
So play together with us~
Have a Happy Windblume!"
...
Those cats, they sounded just like small children...
*Though since animals were usually way more innocent that humans,
It was not that surprising they reminded him of human children, right...?
...
All in all, the song was both nice and cute~
...
...
Then they decided to try this "Rent a Cat" service,
And that's when the trouble started...
"Oh, this very "amusing" memory of "Cherub Venti"~
*If he was still in this adorable form, it could have been even better~
Not just the Adorable children and cats, but their Adorable Archon could have also...~"
As he heard Lisa's words and then...

He got turned small again...
*It was clearly HER doing, considering that "contemplation"...
...
And what did she mean by "Should also greatly help strengthen Mondstadt people's bond" with him...?!
*Rather than "strengthening their bond", this situation is extremely embarrassing for him!
...
"...I...I am really tiny now and I can't change back!
I know what to do! I just need a power boost and then I could change back to my teenage form!
Tadaaaaaaaaaa! It should be a "breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze" now! Am I smart or not...?
...
...
I can't change back...
I can't change back to my normal teenage form! I am now stuck like this!"
Well, at least it was not as embarrassing as last time,
Since he didn't foolishly change into his "Cherub Form"...
...
And since it was originally Lisa's idea, basically her death wish,
He was going to go along with this "Change".
*It should be temporary anyway, right...?
...
Even though this situation is still really embarrassing...
...
...
-Venti~ How about we cuddle?
-Daddy, Daddy, I also want to cuddle with you!
-Cuddling with my Little Brother will be nice~
-Can we take the kitties with us too?
-Both small and cute Venti and the soft Kitties…~
-Also want to cuddle with Genti~
-Verti smell nice~ So want to cuddle, too~
-Big cuddle pile~ Warm and smell nice~
...
...
Which keeps getting more and more embarrassing by the second,
And neither Jean or Barbara look like they plan to stop it…
…
…
…
They actually look like they want to join in…
