Chapter 356: Miko? Here, Take a Holy Gatling Gun

Every new city Takumi built inevitably attracted people to move in.

Liyue Harbor was no exception.

Aside from the steady stream of newcomers that Zhongli kept sending over, Liyue Harbor also drew individuals from other worlds.

For example, people from the world of Food Wars or even from Suna.

Some folks just loved that style.

Once Inazuma gets developed, maybe people will move there too.

Shops in Liyue Harbor had already started opening up.

While strolling through the area, Takumi quickly spotted Keqing.

She was seated outside a teahouse, working on official matters.

Seeing her, Takumi's eyes lit up.

Without hesitation, he shamelessly walked over and sat down across from her.

Keqing looked up, puzzled by someone taking the seat in front of her.

When she saw Takumi, she blinked in surprise.

"Mr. Takumi?"

Seeing it was Takumi, she was clearly caught off guard.

"Keqing."

"Are you settling in alright?"

Takumi smiled warmly as he greeted her.

Hearing his words, Keqing waved her hand, closing the light screen in front of her, then began chatting with him.

"It was a bit uncomfortable at first."

"But I've gradually gotten used to it."

"So many things here are incredibly convenient."

"The people from Liyue are also adapting to life here."

"Many of them have even started their own businesses."

"Overall, things are going well."

"No one really resents immigrating to this world."

As she spoke, a smile bloomed across her face.

She really liked Takumi's world.

Especially meeting all kinds of unique people.

And she didn't have to stay in an office to work.

She could work wherever she wanted.

Orders could be issued from anywhere with ease.

It was wonderfully comfortable.

Even if her workload increased, she felt she could manage it all.

Thanks to Prometheus, everything was just so efficient.

Seeing her smiling, Takumi nodded.

"As long as you're comfortable."

"That's all I could ask for."

"That's great to hear."

"Takumi, how come you have free time today?"

"You actually came all the way here?"

Keqing looked at him curiously.

Wasn't Takumi usually a homebody?

What brought him out today?

"Just wandering around."

"Everyone at home is busy. I was the only one left, and it got boring."

Bronya had gone off into space.

Xiaoji had locked herself indoors.

Gabriel was still with the Godslayers.

Liliya was managing Velrie's affairs.

He was alone at home.

So, feeling bored, he stepped out.

Hearing this, Keqing nodded in understanding.

"I see."

"No wonder."

"Being home alone really is boring."

She would feel the same way.

Takumi's wandering made sense now.

"Want to go for a walk with me?"

Takumi invited her.

Since they were both free, might as well walk around together.

"Sure!"

"I was actually planning to head over to Wuwang Hill."

"To check out the Underworld."

"Want to come with me?"

Keqing's eyes lit up.

Without hesitation, she mentioned her destination.

She knew about the Underworld, but hadn't visited it yet.

That was Hu Tao's jurisdiction.

Recently, Hu Tao had taken Xingqiu and the others there.

Keqing had originally planned to visit today.

Now that Takumi had shown up, she suggested they go together.

"You're going to the Underworld?"

Takumi was a bit surprised.

Why the sudden interest?

"Yep."

"Hu Tao said it's the place for the dead."

"We'll inevitably interact with it someday."

"I was thinking—if a murder ever happens, could we go to the Underworld to ask who the killer was?"

"These things need to be thought through carefully."

Keqing explained her reasoning with a serious face.

This was part of her job, after all.

Takumi's expression turned strange.

"Well... fair enough."

That was a solid idea.

There were no rules in his world about the living avoiding the Underworld.

If you needed answers, just ask Eiki.

No wonder she wanted to check it out.

Without further thought, Takumi accompanied her.

He opened a spatial rift, and the two of them stepped into Wuwang Hill.

There were a lot more tombstones here now.

It seemed more people had died recently.

Takumi could even hear the sound of a suona horn.

Clearly, a ritual was happening.

The atmosphere had become eerie.

Yin energy was gathering.

Takumi sensed it and realized Hu Tao was the one performing the ritual.

Poor Chongyun had been roped in as a helper.

Seeing this, Takumi chuckled.

"If you want to talk to Hu Tao, you might have to wait."

"She's busy right now."

Keqing shook her head.

"Let's go to the Underworld directly."

Since Hu Tao was occupied, no point in disturbing her.

With Takumi there, they could go directly.

She only needed Hu Tao to get access anyway.

Now she could just chat with the Underworld folks herself.

"Alright."

Takumi didn't argue.

A magic circle appeared beneath them, and they vanished.

They reappeared in the Underworld.

It was still under construction.

But some residents had already moved in.

For instance, people from Gensokyo who originally lived in the Underworld.

Keqing looked around with great curiosity.

There was no sun, but there was still light.

Truly a mysterious place.

Takumi led Keqing to Eiki Shiki's place.

But while they made their way to the Yama Palace, a new member entered the group chat.

[Yotsuya Miko has joined the chat.]

Yotsuya Miko: [Another world?] [Help! Is anyone there??]

As soon as she entered, Miko sent out a desperate cry for help.

She looked like she had just seen her savior.

She'd really had enough.

She hadn't slept in ages.

Was there a ghost-exorcist expert in the group?

Of course, Takumi saw the message.

Recognizing the name, he immediately laughed.

Without saying a word, he conjured a modified Gatling gun.

Takumi: [Yotsuya Miko's exclusive red packet.] [Here, take this—Holy Gatling Gun, the ultimate anti-ghost weapon!] [200 rounds of holy light per second. You deserve this!]

Takumi fully understood why Miko was asking for help.

It was because of all those evil spirits.

Too easy to fix.

Ever heard of a Holy Gatling Gun?

The others in the group were just about to chime in—then they saw what Takumi did.

And immediately, everyone was stunned.

Damn, seriously?
