Chapter 121

Klee quickly left the area with Hu Tao and the others, looking forward to what was coming next.

As for Xiao, although he didn't know exactly what Takumi was planning, he didn't linger either and also chose to leave.

Once they had all left, Takumi quickly ran to higher ground.

He first reinforced himself with a shield, then glanced around to ensure Klee and the others were far enough away before activating his power.

A giant bouncing bomb materialized in the sky.

Klee, who was running in the distance, couldn't help but turn her head. 

When she saw the enormous bouncing bomb that Takumi had summoned, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

The entire bomb was massive, around 5x5 meters in size.

As it descended, Takumi swiftly moved away, sprinting toward Klee and the others.

'Boom~~!'

A deafening explosion roared behind him as a mushroom cloud slowly rose into the sky.

Klee's entire world became fixated on the sight before her. 

Takumi had told the truth—the most powerful bomb in the world really did create a mushroom cloud!

Her heart pounded with excitement.

She made up her mind—one day, she too would create such an incredible bouncing bomb!

The explosion was even more powerful than Takumi had expected.

The shockwave sent him flying, but thanks to his shield, he remained unharmed.

After regaining his footing, he quickly made his way back to Klee and the others.

"Brother Takumi!!" Klee shouted excitedly. 

"That was amazing! So awesome!"

"Can you teach me how to make that bouncing bomb?" 

"Woo~~! Klee really wants to learn!"

She clung to Takumi's arm, acting adorably spoiled.

Hearing her request, Takumi didn't know whether to laugh or sigh.

"Alright, alright!"

"I'll teach you how to do it later."

Who could possibly resist her enthusiasm?

Hearing Takumi's promise, Klee was overjoyed.

"Yay!"

"Thank you, Brother Takumi!"

"I like Brother Takumi the most!"

Klee was completely thrilled.

Hu Tao, who had been watching their exchange, suddenly looked at Klee with a new sense of caution.

From now on, she definitely couldn't afford to mess with Klee. 

If Klee had something like that bomb, it would be terrifying.

And was it really okay for Takumi to teach her something so dangerous?

If Klee returned to Mondstadt with this kind of power, Jean, the Acting Grand Master, probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Thinking about this, Hu Tao gave Takumi a strange look.

The people of Mondstadt were truly unfortunate—Takumi was about to raise a true force of destruction.

As the aftermath of the explosion settled, the once-solid ground had turned into a deep crater.

Seeing this, Takumi immediately walked over.

When the others arrived at the scene, they found the area completely unrecognizable.

The spot where Chi had once been was now nothing more than a massive pit.

Spring water had begun seeping from the ground, meaning it wouldn't be long before this area became a lake.

Chi's body had completely vanished.

Judging from the dissipating energy in the air, it was finally over.

Xiao confirmed this as well.

"It's gone."

"I can no longer sense Chi's presence."

"It seems like it has been completely destroyed."

Hearing Xiao's words, Takumi nodded.

It was finally over.

If Chi had survived, that would have been a real problem.

Satisfied, Takumi stretched and turned to the others.

"Alright, let's head back."

"There's no reason to stay here any longer."

Xiao nodded but remained behind, busying himself with purging the remaining traces of Chi's energy.

After bidding farewell to Xiao, Takumi led Klee and the others back to Qingce Village.

During the journey, Klee excitedly chattered about how she could make a super-sized bouncing bomb.

She bombarded Takumi with questions, and he answered some of them.

Each response left Klee more thrilled.

After Alice, her mother, Takumi had officially become the person Klee admired the most.

By noon, they arrived back in Qingce Village.

They had set out at noon the previous day and returned at noon today.

Perfect timing.

Seeing Takumi return safely, Granny Ruoxin finally sighed in relief.

Everything was fine.

Takumi spent two more days in Qingce Village, ensuring everything was stable before deciding to leave.

Before departing, he handed Sucrose a walkie-talkie.

"If anything happens, contact me right away."

Sucrose needed to stay behind.

She planned to monitor the crops until they had fully grown before leaving.

That would take around two months.

Takumi had no complaints about this.

Right now, Sucrose was completely engrossed in her research, unable to pull herself away.

Even if he asked her to leave, she probably wouldn't listen.

So, he simply entrusted Granny Ruoxin with taking care of her.

After that, he took Klee and the others back to Guiliyuan.

As for Hu Tao, she decided to return to Liyue Harbor instead.

She had been away for a long time and had played enough.

Work awaited her.

With so many people passing away recently, she had many funerals to handle.

Thus, only Takumi and his group returned to Guiliyuan.

Upon their arrival, Takumi noticed that the city had grown even busier.

More and more people were returning to the area.

Many shops had already opened.

Cars were frequently parked in front of stores.

Even Keqing's clothing store had opened.

Takumi saw several shops selling clothes he had designed before.

There were outfits for men, women, and even children.

Several stores displayed his designs, drawing in large numbers of women eager to shop.

Driving toward his office, Takumi observed everything outside with satisfaction.

Things were progressing smoothly.

Returning to his office, Takumi parked the car.

Klee immediately jumped out with Yaoyao and Qiqi.

"Brother Takumi, we're going to play!"

"I'm going to find Brother Albedo!"

With that, Klee, Yaoyao, and Qiqi ran off excitedly.

Takumi shook his head and smiled, not thinking much of it.

After locking the car, he and Shenhe entered the office lobby.

Looking around, Takumi quickly noticed that Ganyu was nowhere to be seen.

Some others were also missing.

"Are you looking for Miss Ganyu, Lord Takumi?" a passing secretary asked.

"She went back to Liyue Harbor."

Hearing this, Takumi nodded.

"Understood."

Without thinking much about it, he returned to his office.
