Takumi arranged everything.
When the time was almost right,
Takumi then took Makoto and Buyeer to Diona's tavern.
When they arrived, the others had not come yet.
But the tavern had already been cleared.
Seeing Takumi arrive, Diona greeted him with a happy face.
"Brother Takumi, you're here?"
"Come in and sit."
"And Lady Electro Archon, Lady Dendro Archon!"
"It's been a long time."
Diona greeted everyone.
She also knew Makoto and Nahida.
And she was quite familiar with them.
Several times when she went to play in Inazuma and Sumeru,
she was mainly led by klee.
She also knew about Liyue's former god, the very tasteful Mr. Zhongli.
Diona also knew that the Geo Archon was in suspended animation,
all for the sake of retirement.
After all, she lived in Takumi's house, so she knew many things.
She had already seen four of the Seven Archons.
There were still others she had not seen.
However, she was very dissatisfied with Barbatos, the Anemo Archon.
An alcoholic, after all.
She hated drunks.
So Barbatos had become the person she disliked the most.
But some time ago, Barbatos gave up his position to Jean.
She did not dislike him anymore.
Anyway, he was retired.
If Barbatos came here, Diona would still sell him a drink.
Everyone sat down in the tavern, and Diona quickly served the food.
Knowing that Takumi and the others were coming,
she had even prepared dinner in advance.
Eat first, then drink.
That way, no one would get drunk too easily.
Nuwa Al also went up to help at this time.
Not long after Takumi and the others arrived,
Zhongli and the others also arrived one after another.
Azhdaha, Cloud Retainer, and Venti all came together with Zhongli.
"Yo, you've already started drinking?"
"Makoto, Buyeer, lumine, Takumi."
"How long are you planning to stay in Liyue?"
As soon as Venti entered the tavern, he greeted everyone cheerfully.
He was now retired and living comfortably every day.
Originally, he planned to go to Angel's Share to continue drinking.
But unexpectedly, the old man sent him a message,
telling him to come to Diona's tavern and saying that Makoto and Buyeer were here.
A gathering tonight.
This made him even happier.
Because someone invited him again.
Hearing Venti's words, Makoto and Buyeer smiled.
"I plan to stay here for a while."
"I don't know the exact duration yet."
"I'll decide as things go."
"Barbatos, you've been enjoying retirement quite a bit."
"It's said you drink every day until dawn?"
Makoto looked at this alcoholic with great interest.
She had just learned about Venti's recent lifestyle from Takumi.
To be honest, Barbatos had really let himself go.
Drunk and dreaming every day.
Hearing this, Venti smiled.
"My hobbies are only a few."
"So that's just how it is."
"I'm currently learning music composition."
"After a while, I'll release a song, you all have to listen carefully."
"I've already decided."
"I want to debut and become an idol!"
Venti began to enthusiastically talk about his next plan.
Hearing this, Takumi almost spat his drink out.
"Good grief!"
"You want to debut as an idol?"
"Do you want Barbara to manage you?"
I am Venti, who has practiced for two and a half years.
Good at singing and dancing… basketball?
Hey!
That flavor was strong.
Hearing Takumi's words, Venti smiled.
"No need!"
"I can handle it myself."
"With my ability, becoming a singer is not difficult!"
After saying that, Venti gave a thumbs-up.
He was very confident.
As for why he wanted to be a singer,
it was mainly to make money.
Although Jean gave him some funds every month,
he still wanted to save more to buy things.
So he wanted to earn money.
Everyone looked at Venti with strange expressions.
The retired Anemo Archon going to work.
Debuting as an idol?
Shocking.
"What a disgrace."
Diona was clearly unhappy when she heard Venti's words.
How could the Anemo Archon do something like that?
If people knew Mondstadt's Archon debuted as an idol,
Mondstadt would definitely be laughed at.
So Diona felt very uncomfortable.
"Well!"
"It's just dinner."
"And if you don't say it and I don't say it, who would know I'm the Anemo Archon?"
"Right?"
Venti did not care at all.
Instead, he smiled.
He thought his plan was excellent.
"Actually, it might be better if you debuted as a girl."
"After all, girls are easier to become popular."
"Look at Eden, she's now the top idol in Teyvat."
Takumi looked at Venti with a smile.
A male idol turning into a female idol.
For someone like him, changing gender was not difficult.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became strange.
"Well, that's a good idea."
"I support it."
Makoto actually agreed with Takumi at this moment.
Indeed, becoming a girl might make it easier to succeed.
Everyone began to seriously discuss Venti becoming a girl.
This made everyone very interested.
"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense!"
"Azhdaha, help me out here!"
Venti hurriedly called for help.
"Really."
"I also agree with Takumi."
"Wouldn't it be nice if you turned into a girl?"
Azhdaha looked Venti up and down.
It really didn't seem like a bad idea.
As soon as he said this, Venti's face filled with question marks.
Shock.
Has Azhdaha changed?
Damn!
This time, Venti really felt like exploding.
Everyone chatted and drank together in the tavern.
They teased Venti nonstop, and the atmosphere was lively.
Even Buyeer joined in the jokes.
Only Miss Shadow had no interest in this topic.
She focused on eating the food on the table.
Nuwa Al and the others kept bringing out dishes,
and helped Diona take care of everyone.
When things settled down, Nuwa Al also sat down
and drank with everyone.
In this scene, everyone drank until late into the night.
No one used divine power to digest the alcohol.
Doing so would be boring.
So everyone was a bit drunk.
Takumi and Zhongli separated,
and Takumi directly opened a space passage and stepped inside.
When everyone returned to the manor,
Makoto took Buyeer to Ganyu's manor next door.
Before leaving, Makoto gave Takumi a meaningful look,
signaling him to come over later.
Takumi understood immediately.
By the time he returned home, it was already late at night.
After taking a bath, everyone went to rest.
But Takumi was not done yet.
