Chapter 476

Ms. Alice said she wanted her daughter to go to school.

But her daughter didn't want to go to school—she wanted to go out and blow up fish instead.

Takumi, acting as an intermediary, expressed his frustration.

"Silly Klee."

"They all have to go to school together."

"That way, you can be with your friends."

"Klee doesn't want to make her mother sad, right?"

Seeing Klee's conflicted expression, Takumi was a little amused.

Klee's eyes lit up at Takumi's words.

"So, does that mean Qiqi, Yaoyao, and I will go to school together?"

"That sounds fun."

"Then Diona and Sayu should come too!"

"But… what if they don't agree?"

As she spoke, she began to worry again.

Qiqi and Yaoyao weren't here at the moment.

Instead, they were helping Diona.

It was a great idea, but what if Qiqi and Yaoyao didn't want to go?

Hearing Klee's concern, Takumi suddenly smiled.

"That's easy."

"Sister Ganyu is Yaoyao's guardian, so she'll definitely be happy to send Yaoyao to school."

"As for Qiqi, Keqing will surely agree."

"And Sayu? Well, if she doesn't have to work, do you think she'll refuse?"

"If she refuses, just talk to Ayaka."

"If Ayaka doesn't listen, go to Yae Miko."

"If Miko ignores you, then go to Lumine or Lady Ei."

"And if all else fails, let her return to Inazuma and become the Wind God herself."

"After all, there aren't many people brave enough to pull that off."

Listening to Takumi, Klee was completely stunned.

It really seemed like there was no way for them to refuse.

Keqing and Ganyu also looked over, having overheard Takumi and Klee's conversation.

Sending those little ones to school?

That actually sounded like a great idea.

After all, many kids were already attending school these days.

It was a shame that these girls hadn't joined yet.

If they went to school, at least someone could keep an eye on them.

But Keqing and Ganyu also had one concern—

Would Klee blow up the school?

Emmm…

Just thinking about it was already terrifying.

"Alright! Klee agrees!"

Now that Takumi had explained it, Klee had no more objections.

She didn't want to disappoint her mother.

As a well-behaved child, Klee decided to listen to her mom!

She'd go to school properly.

Plus, she could even learn alchemy.

Maybe she could invent an even stronger bouncing bomb!

Thinking of that, Klee no longer resisted the idea.

At this moment, Himeko and Ningguang finished their conversation.

Their attention turned to Takumi and Klee.

They had heard their entire discussion.

Their gazes then fell on the letter in Takumi's hand.

Alice's letter?

That Great Demon King!!

Ningguang muttered in her heart.

That woman must be keeping an eye on her daughter at all times.

Otherwise, how would she know Klee was in Liyue?

Ningguang didn't think too much about it.

Her work was done for the day, so she decided to relax a little before heading back.

She got up and extended an invitation to Himeko.

"Himeko, let's go out and have some fun."

"It's rare for me to have free time, so I won't be going back tonight."

Hearing Ningguang's invitation, Himeko didn't refuse.

Instead, she agreed.

With that, the two of them decided to go out for a stroll.

Seeing this, Ganyu and Keqing decided to join them.

Noticing that everyone was leaving, Klee quickly took back her letter from Takumi.

She then hurriedly said:

"Klee is coming too!"

"Wait for me!"

With that, Klee ran after them.

Seeing this scene, Takumi was speechless.

Shaking his head, he stretched his arms and prepared to leave work.

But at that moment, Nuwa's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Master Takumi.]

[The Dawn Winery ship has returned.]

Hearing the news, Takumi raised an eyebrow.

"Diluc's ship is back?"

"Alright, I'll check it out."

It had been a while since Diluc's ship set sail.

He hadn't expected it to return so soon.

Thinking about it, Takumi decided to head over and see for himself.

Leaving the General Affairs Department, he made his way straight to the docks.

By the time he arrived, the ships had already started docking.

Diluc and Eula were both there.

When Diluc saw Takumi approaching, he greeted him.

Takumi, seeing Diluc, couldn't help but ask:

"How did those Colas sell in other nations?"

"Did they sell out this time?"

As he spoke, Takumi used his ability to scan the ship that was slowly approaching the shore.

Were they all sold out?

"The sales were great. People from other nations loved them."

"The merchants we worked with quickly bought up every last one."

"On the return trip, we brought back some raw materials and goods requested by certain merchants."

Diluc looked at the ship, a rare smile forming on his lips.

Business was booming.

And they were making an incredible profit.

Hearing this, Takumi nodded.

"That's good."

"But now, you're out of stock."

"When are you setting sail again?"

Takumi was curious.

What were their next plans?

Would they continue selling drinks?

Or shift to other merchandise?

"We're setting off again in half a month."

"That gives us time to restock and sell what we have left."

"I also need to replenish supplies."

"Our production isn't keeping up with demand—it's insane."

But that wasn't a problem. He had already set up an alchemy workshop to keep the production line running.

Soon, a massive beverage factory would be established in Liyue.

This would save time and boost efficiency.

With any luck, once Kaeya returned, he'd set out again.

It was best to make use of every opportunity.

Diluc didn't mention this to Takumi.

If Takumi knew his plan, he'd definitely complain.

If he worked Kaeya too hard, Kaeya might just quit.

And then Diluc would be the one placed on a statue of Barbatos as punishment.

The ship finally reached the dock.

As soon as it stopped, Kaeya stepped down.

At this moment, Kaeya's skin had darkened from the sun.

He looked like someone who had just crawled out of a mine.

Even his clothes had dark patches from the wind and sea spray.

Traveling across the ocean had been rough.

Stepping onto solid ground again, Kaeya let out a sigh of relief.

Then, the moment he saw Diluc, he rushed toward him.

"Where's my villa?"

The first thing on his mind was his villa.

Diluc glanced at him.

Without a word, he pulled a document from his Vision and tossed it over.

"See for yourself."

With that, Diluc turned to oversee the unloading of the ship.
