Chapter 287

Beidou's ship docked.

Soon, the crew began to disembark.

"Have you built my ship yet?" Beidou asked the moment she stepped off the boat.

Hearing her words, Takumi rolled his eyes.

"You only have ships on your mind, don't you?"

"It's under construction, but it will take a while before it's ready for launch."

"After all, this ship is massive."

When Beidou received confirmation, she immediately became excited.

"Hey! This time, you're not just making empty promises."

"I'm going to check it out."

"You guys talk among yourselves."

With that, Beidou ran off, leaving Yae Miko and Takumi behind.

At this moment, Yae Miko slowly stepped off the boat.

Seeing her, Kamisato Ayaka quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Lady Miko!"

Hearing Ayaka's greeting, Yae Miko smiled.

"It looks like you've been enjoying your time in Liyue."

"Your outfit looks wonderful."

She examined Ayaka's attire, a glimmer of admiration flashing in her eyes.

The clothing suited Ayaka well, making her look even more elegant and youthful.

Hearing Yae Miko's praise, Ayaka felt slightly embarrassed.

"Not at all!"

"These are just the usual clothes people wear in Liyue."

After chatting for a while, Yae Miko turned her attention to Takumi.

"Hello~!"

"We finally meet."

"Miss Yae."

Hearing Takumi's greeting, Yae Miko nodded.

She carefully observed him, sensing the energy within him.

The priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine couldn't help but be secretly amazed.

This man's power was formidable, possibly even surpassing the Raiden Shogun herself.

Just who exactly was Takumi?

For a moment, Yae Miko was filled with curiosity.

"Hello, Takumi."

"I am Yae Miko."

She withdrew her gaze and formally introduced herself.

"This way, please~."

"If you have matters to discuss, let's talk over there."

"Ayaka, please accompany Lady Yae."

With that, Takumi turned and walked ahead, gesturing for Ayaka to bring Yae Miko along.

Hearing Takumi's words, Ayaka quickly extended an invitation to Yae Miko:

"Lady Miko, please follow me."

She then hurried to keep up with Takumi.

Yae Miko followed closely behind.

When they reached the vehicle, Takumi waved his hand, hopped on his bike, and left.

Ayaka was about to get into the car when Yae Miko stopped her.

"Let me drive."

"I know how to as well~!"

A smirk formed at the corners of her lips.

She had already practiced plenty with Beidou's vehicles while on the ship.

Hearing this, Ayaka was momentarily stunned but quickly stepped aside.

She let Yae Miko take the driver's seat.

Yae Miko placed her Vision in the slot, started the car, and said, "Get in!"

Her skillful handling of the controls left Ayaka momentarily dazed.

Once Ayaka settled into the passenger seat, Yae Miko instructed her to hold onto her.

Then, she sped off to chase after Takumi.

Holding onto Yae Miko, Ayaka felt slightly embarrassed.

With Yae Miko at the wheel, they quickly caught up to Takumi.

Judging by her precise driving, she had definitely spent a lot of time behind the wheel of Beidou's vehicles.

Takumi was mildly surprised to see Yae Miko catch up so easily.

"She's quite skilled."

After briefly musing over this, Takumi pushed the thought aside and led them to the General Affairs Department.

Once they arrived, Takumi stopped his vehicle and prepared to head inside.

Behind him, Yae Miko turned to Ayaka and said:

"Little Ayaka, could you fetch Ganyu for me?"

"Tell her I've arrived."

Hearing Yae Miko's request, Ayaka immediately understood.

"Understood, Lady Miko. I'll contact Miss Ganyu now."

Yae Miko clearly wanted to speak with Takumi alone.

Catching the hint, Ayaka quickly agreed.

Seeing this, Yae Miko nodded and then entered the General Affairs Department.

Meanwhile, Kamisato Ayaka contacted Ganyu and also began preparing a meal.

Inside the General Affairs Department, Yae Miko curiously examined the unfamiliar computers.

A look of fascination flashed in her eyes.

On her journey here, she had observed many things in Liyue.

The difference between the Liyue of her memories and its present state was immense.

It was hard to believe this was still the same nation.

To an outsider, it might even seem like an entirely different world.

As she observed her surroundings, she followed Takumi to his office.

Many employees glanced at Yae Miko in confusion.

Who was this guest?

She was stunning!

Entering Takumi's office, Yae Miko closed the door behind her.

"Your work here is truly fascinating."

"It doesn't feel like something that belongs in Teyvat."

Before Takumi appeared, none of these innovations existed in Teyvat.

Hearing her remark, Takumi shrugged.

"These things don't originate from Teyvat."

"As a visitor from another world, isn't it natural for me to bring some changes?"

"Please, have a seat."

He gestured toward the seating area.

Then, Takumi began preparing tea.

Yae Miko wasn't shy. She sat down on the sofa and immediately found it incredibly comfortable.

Her mind wandered.

"Mmm, so soft, so nice."

"This must be great for napping."

The moment she sat down, the first thought that crossed her mind was how comfortable it would be to sleep there.

Outrageous!

Takumi poured a cup of tea for Yae Miko and took a sip himself.

Yae Miko quickly regained her composure.

After taking a sip of tea, she asked:

"Is what you said before true?"

She set down her cup and looked at Takumi with a serious expression.

Hearing her words, Takumi nodded.

"Of course, it's true."

"There's no reason for me to lie to you about this."

"However, it's not ready yet."

Hearing this, Yae Miko raised an eyebrow.

"Not yet?"

"Do you need a Gnosis?"

Saying this, Yae Miko retrieved the Electro Archon's Gnosis.

She recalled Takumi's request for her to bring it along.

Was there a specific reason for that?

Seeing this, Takumi took out two additional Gnoses.

The sight of them left Yae Miko utterly stunned.

"What is this?!"

"The Gnoses of the Anemo and Geo Archons… are in your possession?!"
