Chapter 331

The three sat and chatted for a while.

It wasn't long before Yanfei came running in again.

"Wow~~! Eula!!"

Her exaggerated acting was apparent.

Seeing Yanfei's dramatic reaction, Takumi's mouth twitched slightly.

She had obviously seen Eula arrive earlier.

Now she was pretending to be surprised.

Finally, she put on a shocked expression.

When Eula saw Yanfei's antics, she sighed in exasperation.

She had noticed it too.

Yanfei was obviously putting on an act.

Yanfei ran straight to Eula, feigning surprise.

"Alright, stop pretending!"

"You already knew I was coming, didn't you?"

Eula rolled her eyes.

Hearing Eula's words, Yanfei giggled.

"Hehe~~!"

"I only found out not too long ago."

"Come on!"

"Eula, let's go eat."

"I've already arranged everything."

She then started pulling Eula up.

Hearing this, Eula quickly protested:

"Slow down!"

"No need to rush."

She then turned to Takumi.

"Mr. Takumi, would you like to join us?"

Takumi shook his head.

"No, you go ahead."

"I still have work to do."

He declined without hesitation.

There was still much to be done.

Hearing Takumi's response, Eula didn't insist.

If Takumi was busy, she wouldn't press the matter.

"Alright then, we'll be off."

After saying goodbye, she allowed herself to be dragged out by Yanfei.

Seeing this, Amber quickly followed.

Once they left, Takumi resumed his work.

There were still many documents waiting for him to process on his computer.

Fortunately, he had a computer, or managing everything would be much more difficult.

Meanwhile, Yanfei led Eula to Wanmin Restaurant.

"Xiangling, get the food ready!"

"My friend is here."

Yanfei shouted as she entered.

It wasn't peak hours, so there were fewer guests in the restaurant.

Hearing Yanfei's call, Xiangling poked her head out from the kitchen.

"Got it! Go upstairs and take a seat."

"I'll bring the food soon!"

Xiangling quickly responded.

With that settled, Yanfei led Eula to a private room upstairs.

Once seated, the conversation flowed naturally.

They had endless topics to discuss.

Yanfei was delighted to have Eula visiting Liyue.

Eula had once saved her, and they had frequently exchanged letters since then.

After acquiring mobile phones, they quickly exchanged numbers and stayed in touch more easily.

They had always gotten along well.

Yanfei was one of Eula's few close friends.

So it was a joy for them to meet again.

Yanfei treated Eula to a meal, then took her on a tour of Guili Plains.

Eula first stopped by the bank to withdraw some Mora.

Then, she visited the marketplace to shop for a while.

Along the way, Eula curiously turned to Yanfei and asked:

"When will Liyue Bank open a branch in Mondstadt?"

"Liyue Bank is much more convenient than Northland Bank."

This was something she was genuinely interested in.

When withdrawing money earlier, she found Liyue Bank's services highly efficient.

Amber had simply inserted her card and completed the transaction with ease.

Eula had even opened a bank account and deposited her money.

If Liyue Bank expanded to Mondstadt, it would be a game-changer.

Northland Bank wouldn't stand a chance.

Hearing Eula's question, Yanfei shook her head.

"Hmm, I'm not sure."

"It depends on Ningguang's decision."

"I believe she's discussing it with Grandmaster Jean."

"Opening a bank branch isn't simple."

"There are many things that need to be arranged."

"But I think it will happen soon."

Yanfei wasn't certain of the specifics.

But it wouldn't be long before Liyue Bank expanded to Mondstadt.

Liyue Bank was incredibly convenient, and Jean likely wouldn't oppose its presence in Mondstadt.

Eula nodded thoughtfully.

"To be honest, coming to Liyue made me realize just how far behind Mondstadt is."

"Liyue's development is astonishingly fast."

She sighed.

Mondstadt was improving too.

But compared to Liyue, the gap was enormous.

Liyue had already pioneered technologies they were only beginning to comprehend.

Fortunately, the two nations had a good relationship.

Liyue was willing to assist Mondstadt's development.

Once electricity was fully implemented, Mondstadt would advance rapidly.

Power plants had already been built, and by the time Eula arrived, Mondstadt's system was in the debugging phase.

On her first day in Liyue, Yanfei had taken Eula around the city.

That evening, Yanfei brought Eula back to Takumi's manor, where they were temporarily staying.

The next day, Eula and Amber planned to buy a house.

It would serve as Mondstadt's property in Liyue.

After all, it wouldn't be appropriate to stay at Takumi's place indefinitely.

The villas nearby were impressive.

Eula and Amber intended to ask Takumi if any were for sale.

It was time to purchase a place.

Yanfei also followed them to Takumi's home.

She didn't seem eager to leave.

That evening, Barbara also returned.

Knowing that Amber and Eula had arrived, of course, she came back.

Klee was thrilled to see the Spindrift Knight.

Dinner was hosted at Takumi's manor.

During the meal, Eula brought up a topic.

"Takumi, are the villas below for sale?"

"We'd like to buy one as property for Mondstadt."

"That way, anyone from Mondstadt visiting Liyue will have a place to stay."

Takumi was slightly surprised.

"That's fine."

"Come to the General Affairs Department tomorrow, and I'll have someone assist you with the process."

The villas had been built, but Takumi had not originally intended to sell them.

Even many merchants had inquired about purchasing them.

However, the sales office had turned them away, as there had been no official decision to sell.

Since Eula wanted to buy one, he saw no issue with it.

Selling a few villas to foreign clients might be a good idea.

Hearing Takumi's response, Eula nodded.

"Great!"

"Thank you."

"One more thing—I'd like to buy a motorcycle."

"For personal use."

"How much would it cost?"

She had been envious of Amber's bike.

Taking the opportunity, she brought up her request directly.
