Chapter 36

Klee was really confused.

Unexpectedly, Mondstadt's Anemo Archon was actually by their side.

And also an alcoholic.

Klee said that her worldview had been shaken.

The three Archons are quite pitiful.

An alcoholic, a scumbag, and a dead man.

Keqing, who was listening to Takumi, twitched the corners of her mouth slightly.

Although she doesn't worship the gods, Takumi must be slandering them, right?

How bold!

After muttering in her heart, Keqing inexplicably admired Takumi.

He didn't care about the gods at all.

Awesome!

Keqing said, "You will be my idol from now on."

...

When they arrived at the General Affairs Department, Takumi parked the car directly.

The Qianyan Army stationed there was immediately surprised to see the vehicle.

But soon, they also noticed the people inside.

Takumi, Keqing, and Klee got out of the car.

After locking the vehicle, Takumi and Keqing walked in with Klee.

"Is Ganyu here?"

As soon as they stepped into the General Affairs Department, Takumi asked a young lady passing by.

Hearing his words, the young lady was momentarily stunned but quickly responded.

"Mr. Takumi, Lady Keqing."

"Miss Ganyu just arrived."

"She's handling official matters inside."

After confirming Ganyu's presence, Takumi didn't hesitate and walked in.

As he walked, he said to Keqing,

"Aqing, call for Ningguang."

"And also Miss Yanfei."

"Regarding traffic laws, we still need Miss Yanfei's input."

Takumi had met Yanfei before, but only briefly.

They hadn't had any deep conversations, so they weren't very familiar.

Hearing Takumi's words, Keqing nodded and immediately set off.

Meanwhile, Takumi took Klee to find Ganyu.

They found Ganyu buried under a mountain of paperwork.

Takumi was instantly speechless.

As expected of Ganyu, the ultimate workaholic.

Klee, on the other hand, curiously looked around.

Ganyu seemed to sense someone approaching.

Without looking up, she said,

"Just put the files aside."

"I'll deal with them in a minute."

"By the way, these are already processed."

"Someone take them out."

...

Cough, cough!

Takumi cleared his throat.

Hearing the sound, Ganyu hurriedly raised her head.

When she saw Takumi, she was taken aback.

"Takumi?"

"Why are you back?"

After saying that, she put down the documents and stood up.

Soon, she noticed Klee as well.

Klee and Ganyu looked at each other.

Upon seeing Ganyu's black horns, Klee immediately made a decision.

This is a good person.

"Who is this?" Ganyu asked with some curiosity.

"This is Klee," Takumi introduced. "Klee, this is Sister Ganyu. She's an Adeptus."

Hearing Takumi's introduction, the two quickly greeted each other.

"Hello, Klee."

"Hello, Sister Ganyu! I'm Klee, the Spark Knight of the Knights of Favonius."

Seeing the adorable little girl, Ganyu smiled warmly.

After all, this little cutie was truly endearing.

"Let's go," Takumi said. "Let's wait for Ningguang in the conference room."

"The Emperor will also arrive soon."

"There are some matters we need his assistance with."

After saying that, Takumi took Klee towards the conference room.

Ganyu quickly followed after hearing his words.

Not long after they settled down, Zhongli arrived.

"You were looking for me?"

As soon as he arrived, he asked directly.

Hearing this, Takumi explained everything right away.

"It's nothing serious."

"I just need you to build a bridge."

"One that can withstand a few hundred tons."

"With your abilities, it should be easy, right?"

"Cars are in use now, but the bridge outside Liyue Harbor needs to be rebuilt."

"Otherwise, there will be problems sooner or later."

"But it's too late for people to fix it now."

"The cars are about to start running soon."

Hearing Takumi's words, Zhongli was silent for a moment.

"That bridge outside?"

"Yes, it is indeed problematic."

"Leave it to me."

"By the way, about your car…"

"Can you get me one?"

"It seems very convenient for traveling."

Speaking of this, Zhongli suddenly became interested.

The idea of having a car for personal travel sounded appealing.

Hearing his request, Takumi was dumbfounded.

"No problem."

"I'll get you one later."

"Let's wait for Ningguang first."

"We also need to discuss traffic laws."

"After all, it concerns the safety of the people."

"This is the other reason I called you over."

New laws in Liyue must be witnessed by the Emperor.

This was the tradition of Liyue.

Any new law must be presented to the Emperor during the annual Rite of Descension before it could be implemented.

However, since Zhongli was already present, the process could be simplified.

Hearing this, Zhongli did not refuse.

Instead, he found a seat and sat down.

Klee looked at Zhongli curiously.

After a moment's hesitation, she ran over.

"Are you the Geo Archon?"

"Then do you know our Anemo Archon?"

Hearing Klee's words, Zhongli looked at her with interest.

Upon seeing her face clearly, realization dawned upon him.

"Alice's daughter?"

Upon hearing her mother's name, Klee's eyes lit up.

"Wow~!"

"You actually know my mom?"

"Are you my mom's friend?"

Klee's eyes widened in disbelief.

Zhongli nodded.

"Yes."

"I once traveled to Liyue with your mother."

"But that was a long time ago."

"I never thought I'd meet her child here."

"As for the Anemo Archon, I know him too."

"Is there something you want to ask, little one?"

He did not hide the truth and answered honestly.

After learning that Zhongli knew her mother, Klee was overjoyed.

Her mom was really amazing, being friends with the Geo Archon.

This was truly incredible.

"Brother Takumi said that our Anemo Archon is an alcoholic."

"Is that true?"

Klee voiced her curiosity.

Hearing this, Zhongli glanced at Takumi with a strange expression.

Why is this guy talking about Barbatos everywhere?

But thinking about it carefully… that lazy wine lover…

Well, he's not wrong.

Zhongli nodded, acknowledging Takumi's words.

This time, Klee was in shock.

So, the Anemo Archon really was an alcoholic?
