Chapter 159

Everyone ate the breakfast prepared by Noelle at the hotel.

Then, they went out together.

we started to wander around the city of Mondstadt, led by Klee and Noelle. Takumi followed them around in Mondstadt.

When they arrived at the Knights of Favonius headquarters, Takumi took out a box and handed it to Noelle.

"Noelle."

"Put this box in the bell tower and install it."

Hearing Takumi's instruction, Noelle nodded.

"Okay, Mr. Takumi."

"I'll go up now."

After saying that, Noelle took the box from Takumi and headed toward the Knights of Favonius headquarters.

Jean, the Acting Grand Master, had already spoken to her. No matter what Takumi asked today, she was to follow his instructions. Takumi also wanted to install some equipment, and Jean had given her approval.

Takumi and the others waited below.

After about ten minutes, Noelle returned.

"Mr. Takumi, it's already installed. Do you want to check?"

Hearing this, Takumi took out his phone and looked at the screen. Then, he nodded and said,

"Okay, that's fine."

"In the future, when mobile phones become popular here, you'll be able to communicate remotely."

"But since you haven't developed wired infrastructure yet, I won't give you a phone now."

"Charging it would be troublesome, after all."

"If there's no electricity, it'll be a problem. So, when mobile phones are eventually sold here, you can get one yourself."

Hearing Takumi's words, Noelle was a little puzzled.

"A cell phone? What is that?"

Seeing her confusion, Takumi continued walking and explained mobile phones to Noelle.

Listening to his explanation, Noelle was amazed and shocked.

Mobile phones sounded so convenient.

Takumi even described a few possibilities for the future, and everyone was astonished.

If that time truly came, people would be able to contact others far away anytime, anywhere.

That would be incredibly convenient.

Not long after, Klee led Takumi and the others to the church.

As they approached, a very cute girl appeared.

"Hmm?"

"It's you!!"

It was Barbara.

However, when she saw Lumine and Paimon, she glared at them angrily.

"You two are the bad guys who broke the Holy Lyre der Himmel!"

The thought of it made her angry.

The church's sacred relic had been stolen and damaged, causing Barbara a night of deep regret.

Remembering this, Barbara's eyes turned red.

Lumine and Paimon looked embarrassed.

"Uh... I can explain," Lumine said, feeling awkward.

She really didn't want to take the blame for this.

Damn it, Venti!

"Sister Barbara!" Klee called out.

Hearing Klee's voice, Barbara took a deep breath, calming herself before turning her fierce gaze back to Lumine.

"Little Klee! Where are you going?" she asked.

"And Qiqi, Yaoyao, and Diona too!"

Then, Barbara's gaze landed on Takumi.

When she saw him, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

Such a handsome man!

Barbara realized she had never seen such a good-looking young man before.

Her face turned red at the thought.

"Hello, Miss Barbara. I'm Takumi from Liyue."

Barbara was momentarily stunned upon hearing his name, then quickly composed herself.

"Oh! So you're from Liyue?"

"Nice to meet you. I'm Barbara, a Deaconess of the Church of Favonius."

She politely greeted Takumi.

"Hello, Barbara. I've heard so much about you. I didn't expect to meet Miss Barbara in person here."

Takumi smiled slightly at the cute girl before him.

Barbara was still adorable, even in person.

"Sister Barbara, do you want to come play with us?" Klee asked.

She didn't want the conversation to stop there. She wanted to have fun together.

Hearing Klee's invitation, Barbara hesitated for a moment before glancing uncertainly at Takumi.

"Ah... will this be a bother?"

Her church duties were mostly done, so she had no reason not to go.

Besides, she was very curious about Takumi.

She had heard many things about Liyue's changes from others, especially Klee, who had shared a lot of stories about Liyue upon returning.

Takumi was also Jean's guest. Would it be inappropriate for her to follow along?

Takumi shook his head.

"It's no trouble at all. It would be an honor to spend time with Miss Barbara."

Takumi shamelessly praised Barbara.

"Come along, little cutie. I'll show you some goldfish."

Barbara blushed when she heard that.

"Just call me Barbara, Mr. Takumi. Then, I'll humbly accept the invitation."

Since that was the case, she decided to join them.

And while they played, she could also learn more about Liyue.

She was curious to know what was happening in other nations.

After all, she had rarely left Mondstadt since childhood.

And so, Barbara joined the group.

You have obtained Barbara.

Please upgrade her artifact sets!

For the rest of the day, Takumi and the others spent their time exploring Mondstadt.

By noon, they had lunch together before heading off to other places.

At that time, the Knights of Favonius were already clearing out monsters around Mondstadt, ensuring peace in the region.

Even when they encountered Hilichurls along the way, the small girls in their party could easily handle the situation.

As they traveled, Takumi installed several signal transmitters at elevated locations.

Some were even buried within rocks to prevent wild monsters from destroying them.

Barbara was very curious about what Takumi was installing, and Noelle explained their purpose to her.

Upon learning about these devices and the future potential of mobile phones, Barbara was amazed.

She hadn't expected Liyue to have advanced this far already.

Along the way, Lumine also discovered several treasure chests.

Takumi found this strange.

He hadn't paid much attention, yet Lumine always managed to spot chests hidden in corners and collect various items.

Hmm...

Did Lumine have a built-in treasure chest radar?

No matter where they went, she never missed a single box.

Takumi had seen her skills firsthand.
