Chapter 208

Lumine, ah, if you are a waiter, your salary is super cheap.

And it's buy one, get one free.

So, Diona decided to give Lumine a job when she arrived.

When Takumi heard Diona's words, he was dumbfounded.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Lumine's work is still very good.

Anyway, just pay her a salary.

After all, that girl is planning to buy a house in Liyue.

Who knows how much money she has saved?

Right now, she's eating and staying at Xiangling's place.

Not spending a single Mora every day.

Sometimes, she goes to the Adventurer's Guild to catch slimes or something.

It's said that she earns tens of thousands of Mora a day?

That's outrageous.

Lumine is really a money-maker.

Now, offering her a job at night is a great idea.

She might even be happy about it.

She has completely given up on her brother and is focused on buying a house to become an independent woman.

The next day, Takumi went straight to the radio station.

He asked Baiwen to announce the opening of Diona's tavern that night.

Hearing Takumi's request, Baiwen was a little surprised.

"A tavern?"

"I see."

"I'll make the arrangements later."

"We'll include it in tonight's news."

Takumi nodded.

Then he continued:

"By the way, mention the department store too."

"Let's warm it up."

"Make sure people know there's a place to shop and have fun."

Takumi then explained the future development model of the department store.

Upon hearing about it, Baiwen became excited.

A place where you can buy various things and have fun?

Isn't that what girls dream of?

A huge variety of shops, everything for sale.

Even food, drinks, and entertainment.

Sounds like a fantastic place.

"I'll take care of it."

"I'll make sure it airs on tonight's news."

Everyone in Liyue must know.

Especially the women.

After talking to Baiwen, Takumi left.

Meanwhile, Diona also found Lumine.

"Honorary Knight."

"Can you help me in my tavern at night?"

"I'll pay you a salary."

Hearing that there was payment, Lumine suddenly perked up.

"How much per hour?"

"I just happen to be free tonight."

She didn't hesitate at all.

Another job meant another step closer to buying her house.

She currently had millions of Mora, but it wasn't enough.

She needed tens of millions.

Moreover, she planned to ask Takumi for a discount.

The house she wanted was in the villa area managed by Takumi.

She aimed for the best.

She didn't want an ordinary house.

Since she wasn't looking for her brother, she might as well enjoy life.

Live in the best house, drink the best wine, eat the best food.

And, find the most handsome boyfriend.

Then, when she had children, she could make her brother jealous.

Thinking of this, Lumine nodded silently.

She thought of Takumi.

That guy was really nice.

Maybe she should give it a try?

Maybe she could marry into a wealthy family!

Seeing Lumine agree so quickly, Diona was pleased.

She even arranged a time with Lumine.

Lumine would come over at night.

The tavern would open at seven o'clock.

People in Liyue usually ate around five or six.

Seven was just right.

By then, Lumine would be finishing work.

After talking to Lumine, Diona left with Klee and the others.

She returned to her tavern to finish the final preparations.

Looking across at the Angel's Share tavern, which was almost fully renovated, she smirked.

She was opening first, so she had the advantage.

This time, she was determined to outdo the tavern across the street!

Diona wasn't someone to be underestimated.

If she could defeat that tavern, Mond's wine industry would take a huge hit, right?

With such a naive thought, Diona began her preparations.

In reality, Diona's idea was impossible.

After all, Diluc opened his tavern just as a hobby.

Destroy Mond's wine industry?

Not happening.

But Takumi, Diluc, and the rest of Mond didn't have the heart to crush a girl's dream.

After all, dreams are important~!

Time flew by, and soon, night arrived.

Many people in Liyue Harbor were having dinner and listening to the radio.

Then, the radio started its news segment.

Some minor news was mentioned, followed by the announcement of the tavern's opening.

Hearing that a bartender from Mond had opened a tavern in Liyue Harbor, many people became interested.

Some who lived nearby even said they'd drop by later.

Meanwhile, at noon, Takumi had informed Ningguang.

He invited her for a drink at night.

After learning the details, Ningguang did not refuse.

She agreed to show her support.

Not only that, but she also brought Ganyu along.

After dinner, Ningguang and the others joined Takumi and headed to Diona's tavern.

Everyone had their own car.

Even Ganyu had one now, courtesy of Takumi.

When they arrived at the tavern, it hadn't officially opened yet.

But the door was already open.

Takumi and the others parked their cars and walked in.

Inside, a few young girls were busy.

As soon as Takumi stepped inside, he caught a familiar scent.

It smelled like medicine.

Takumi was confused.

"Yaoyao, Qiqi, are you brewing medicine?"

Looking at the two young girls mixing herbs, Takumi was baffled.

What was going on?

Wasn't this supposed to be a tavern opening?

Why was medicine being brewed?

Hearing Takumi's voice, the young girls turned their heads.

Seeing him and the others, their eyes lit up.

"Brother Takumi, Sister Ningguang, Sister Ganyu, Sister Shenhe, Sister Keqing!"

"You're here!"

"Come in!"

Diona quickly welcomed them.

Yaoyao then explained.

"Klee said that since so many people will be drinking, we should prepare some hangover medicine."

"This way, when they get drunk, they can take the medicine and keep drinking."

"Diona hates drunks."

"This will prevent people from getting too drunk."

Yaoyao looked a little awkward as she spoke.

She was just following Klee and Diona's request.

Hearing her explanation, everyone was speechless.

Were they serious?

Drinking and taking medicine at the same time?

Wasn't this practically a crime?!

Even Ningguang was surprised by these girls' "genius" plan.
