Chapter 198

When Klee and the others received their bike, their eyes lit up with excitement.

Takumi explained to them at that moment:

"This bike is similar to ours."

"However, you must not go too fast."

"I'm worried about your safety."

"So I've limited the speed."

"You also can't fly too high."

"Even so, it's enough for flying around the city."

Hearing Takumi's words, the little ones quickly nodded.

"Uh-huh!"

"I understand, Brother Takumi!"

"Is that red one mine?"

Klee was ecstatic.

Looking at the four-leaf clover-printed bike, she was beyond excited.

She couldn't wait to ride it.

Takumi nodded in response.

"Yes, that one's yours."

"Give it a try."

"But don't go outside just yet."

"Klee, you know how to operate it, right?"

Klee immediately nodded.

Of course, she knew what to do.

Takumi had taken her flying many times.

She had also observed how he operated his own vehicle.

Without hesitation, Klee rushed up to the red bike.

She excitedly placed her Vision on it.

Then, she pressed the start button.

Slowly, the bike began to lift off the ground.

"Wow\~!"

"This is amazing!!"

Klee was thrilled.

Her legs reached the pedals just right.

Unlike Takumi's bike, where she struggled to reach the bottom.

The others couldn't hold back either.

They quickly hopped onto their own vehicles and started testing them out.

Takumi was slightly concerned about Qiqi.

Would she be able to handle it?

But soon, he realized his worries were unnecessary.

Qiqi was perfectly comfortable and started riding her bike smoothly.

Seeing this, Takumi nodded.

"Alright!"

"Now, follow me as we head to the tavern."

After confirming there were no issues, Takumi took the lead.

The little girls followed closely behind.

They all lifted off into the air and began flying toward the tavern.

Takumi chose to fly rather than move through the streets.

He didn't want the girls accidentally crashing into crowds.

Flying was safer.

The vehicles had built-in stabilizers, preventing them from easily falling.

Along the way, Takumi gave the girls more instructions.

Most importantly, they had to avoid hitting people.

If they ever found themselves in danger, they should immediately jump off and use their Wind Gliders.

They all had gliders and even pilot's licenses.

Once Takumi was sure they understood, he felt relieved.

Before long, the group arrived at the tavern.

As soon as they landed, Takumi spotted Diluc standing in front of his tavern.

Diluc also noticed the flying vehicles approaching from the sky.

Recognizing Takumi, he nodded.

Takumi landed and greeted him with a smile.

"Grandpa Lu, we meet again."

"Are you here to check on the new tavern?"

Hearing Takumi's words, Diluc nodded.

"That's right."

"It's my first time opening a business abroad."

"I need to see if everything is running smoothly."

"Also, the new building I purchased is almost ready."

"So I came straight here."

Diluc wasn't just here for the tavern.

He had also bought a building.

Not to mention, another shop dedicated to selling wine.

He had a lot of things to oversee.

He was even considering forming his own fleet.

That way, he could transport his wine efficiently.

Hearing this, Takumi nodded.

"I see."

"The new shopping district is almost finished."

"You're going to be quite busy soon."

Diluc nodded in agreement.

His gaze shifted to Diona and Klee behind Takumi.

To be honest, he was speechless.

These little girls had opened a tavern?

And it was directly across from his?

He didn't even know what to say.

But then he remembered Diona's talent for mixing drinks.

He sighed.

Maybe their tavern would actually work out.

After all, that's exactly how things were in Mondstadt.

"Let's have dinner together later."

"For now, I have work to do."

"I won't hold you up."

After chatting for a bit, Takumi led Klee and the others inside their tavern.

As Diona followed him in, she made a playful face at Diluc.

Seeing this, Diluc sighed in exasperation.

He shook his head but didn't say anything.

Instead, he focused on his work.

Next, he had to oversee his building's renovations.

Once it was ready, he could start transporting a large stock of wine for export.

Rumor had it there was a shipyard nearby.

He wondered if they had large ships for sale.

He needed to make some inquiries.

Meanwhile, Takumi entered Diona's tavern.

Looking at the decorations, he fell silent.

It was covered in doodles and cat-themed decorations.

Emmm…

It looked more like a children's play area than a tavern.

After mentally complaining for a while, Takumi decided not to say anything.

Whatever worked for them.

Perhaps many girls would find it appealing.

Takumi then started helping them fine-tune some aspects of the tavern.

He adjusted the lighting to improve the atmosphere.

With better lighting, the place felt much more comfortable.

Seeing the changes, the little girls' eyes sparkled with excitement.

They loved it.

Takumi even installed some speakers.

Now, they could play music whenever they wanted.

"Wow!"

"This is awesome!!"

Diona was thrilled.

Klee eagerly nodded.

She loved the ambiance as well.

After finishing up, Takumi said:

"Once you finalize everything, you can officially open."

"Diona, you should know how to handle the business side of things."

Hearing this, Diona quickly nodded.

"I got it, Brother Takumi!"

"I'll open in a few days!"

"Yay!!"

Diona was beyond excited.

The decorations were nearly complete.

They just had to wrap things up today.

After that, the drinks would arrive, and they could start business.

Having helped Diona and the others, Takumi left the tavern.

Next, he headed for the shipyard to take care of other matters.

He didn't have time to linger.

Leaving the tavern, Takumi hopped onto his vehicle and drove toward the shipyard.
