Chapter 275

Klee said to Takumi with excitement on her face:

"Brother Takumi."

"Next time Klee catches a big fish, she will definitely take a picture."

"Then, I'll show my mother the fish I caught."

"Hee hee~~!"

She eagerly shared her thoughts.

Hearing what Klee said, Takumi was momentarily stunned.

Her mother?

Was she talking about Alice?

"Of course, that's a great idea."

"I'm sure your mother would be very happy."

Saying that, Takumi gently ruffled Klee's hair.

He wondered when Alice would show up.

Or perhaps she was already here but just staying hidden?

After all, Alice was a master of disguise.

While Takumi was chatting with Klee, the others arrived one after another.

Even Hu Tao showed up.

This was because Paimon had posted about Klee's catch in the group chat.

Knowing that there was delicious food at Takumi's place, Hu Tao wasted no time in coming over.

Seeing Hu Tao, Takumi was a bit puzzled.

"Say, Hu Tao."

"You seem to be free a lot lately."

"Aren't you supposed to be busy at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"

Hearing Takumi's question, Hu Tao replied as if it was the most natural thing in the world:

"The Funeral Parlor?"

"Isn't Lao Meng handling things there?"

"Besides, it's just minor business. Lao Meng can take care of it."

"I'm currently preparing to open a branch of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

"So, I have plenty of free time."

She spoke with complete confidence.

Since she was busy setting up a new branch, she didn't have time to deal with minor matters.

Shouldn't the people she paid to work be handling those things?

If she had to do everything herself, what was the point of hiring them?

So, for smaller matters, she left them to Lao Meng and the others.

Hearing Hu Tao's reasoning, Takumi was speechless.

Had she learned how to slack off from Zhongli?

Ever since she came here, Hu Tao seemed to rarely return to the parlor.

Perhaps it was because no major families had passed away recently.

That was why she stayed here all the time.

Takumi decided not to argue with her.

Meanwhile, Xiangling had finished preparing dinner.

Everyone gathered around the table, where a full-course fish feast was laid out.

Even Diluc's famous Kuo Le soda was served as they raised their glasses for a toast.

The Cola Company co-founded by Diluc and Takumi had been incredibly successful.

Now, many people had a bottle of cola or juice with their meals.

Diluc's grape juice varieties were also selling very well.

In fact, Diluc realized that selling drinks was more profitable than selling alcohol.

If wine weren't the core product of Dawn Winery, he might have considered reducing wine production.

Instead, he was now planning to expand cola production.

The existing production line at Dawn Winery wasn't enough to meet Liyue's demand for cola.

So, Diluc had gone back to Mondstadt to build a new factory to ramp up production.

As they ate, Amber spoke to Takumi.

"Takumi, I'm heading back to Mondstadt tomorrow."

"I won't be around for a while."

Hearing her words, Takumi wasn't surprised.

She had mentioned this before.

Even Hu Tao was aware of it.

"Alright."

"I'll give you some mobile phones to take back to Jean and the others."

"With the new phones, it'll be much easier to keep in touch."

Amber nodded.

She was well aware of how useful the new phones were.

"Got it!"

"By the way, Takumi, are you planning to visit Mondstadt?"

"Jean mentioned that the city's power grid is fully installed."

"The power generators are in place."

"Soon, they'll begin testing the electricity supply."

Amber looked at Takumi with anticipation.

Hearing this, Takumi shook his head.

"Not for now."

"Liyue's Rite of Descension is coming up."

"I can't leave."

With the ceremony approaching, he needed to stay in Liyue.

A series of important events were about to unfold, and he had to be present for them.

Only after that would he have time to visit Mondstadt.

Hearing this, Amber felt a little disappointed.

But she understood.

Takumi was busy.

She wouldn't insist.

This time, she would be returning to Mondstadt alone.

Barbara would stay in Liyue to continue studying radio broadcasting.

She might be here for quite some time.

Once Liyue's TV station was set up, Barbara needed to learn how to manage one.

Eventually, she could bring that knowledge back to Mondstadt to establish a Mondstadt TV station.

She had already discussed this plan with Takumi.

As for Noelle, she was staying to take care of Klee.

So, Amber had to return alone.

Fortunately, travel between Liyue and Mondstadt had become much easier.

With the flying motorcycle, she could reach Mondstadt in no time.

Because of that, Amber rarely used her Wind Glider anymore.

She only used it for gliding now.

After dinner, Hu Tao, Lumine, and the others left one by one, heading back to their respective villas to rest.

Meanwhile, Takumi packed up and prepared a batch of mobile phones, handing them to Amber.

She would take them back to Jean.

The next morning, Amber got up early, packed her things, and said her goodbyes.

She then set off for Mondstadt.

At the same time, on Inazuma's side, Beidou's ship was also loaded with Electro Crystals.

She was preparing to return to Liyue.

This time, she had two additional passengers on board.

One was Kaedehara Kazuha, a wandering swordsman.

The other was the renowned Lady Fox herself—Yae Miko.

Yae Miko was already familiar with Kazuha.

A descendant of the Kaedehara Clan.

Unfortunately, by Kazuha's generation, all that remained was the name of a once-great noble family.

A few days ago, his close friend had been struck down by the Raiden Shogun.

All that remained was his fallen friend's Vision, glowing faintly in remembrance.

Now, Kazuha was on the run from the Shogunate's forces.

Beidou, seeing his predicament, had taken him in.

She planned to bring him aboard her fleet and take him away from Inazuma.

When Kazuha saw Yae Miko, he was nervous at first.

However, after realizing that she wouldn't expose him, he felt relieved.

Once everyone was aboard, Beidou gave the order.

The ship set sail for Liyue.

As Beidou's ship passed through the stormy waters of Inazuma, a flicker of light appeared in the eyes of the Raiden Shogun, who was far away in Tenshukaku.

Raiden Ei, sensing something, took control of her body.

She gazed outside with suspicion.

"Miko?"

Had Yae Miko left Inazuma?

This puzzled Ei.

Why hadn't she informed her?

Frowning slightly, Ei pondered the situation.

Then she remembered—

Previously, Miko had mentioned something about changes happening in Liyue.

Was she heading there?
