Halloween. Cold days, bare trees, roads covered in golden leaves... Nothing that would stop the drunkards from coming to Diluc's tavern, of course.

As expected, Kaeya, Rosaria and Venti showed up. The two former had pretty high alcohol tolerance, so it took a while for them to start slurring their words. Venti, seemingly owning the least of IQ points, decided to try and summon a demon, or whatever will come out.

Diluc couldn't help but scoff at the idea, finding it ridiculously surreal. The three will soon pass out anyway, so no use trying to fight them.

...oh, how he regretted that night. Turns out they did summon a demon, except... It clung to Diluc, not them. That, made his work even harder to do, and nights even more deprived of sleep.
