Acting Grand Master Qin had expected Xavier to make a more troublesome request, but she hadn't thought he would only want to eat a meal.
"Acting Grand Master Qin, you wouldn't refuse, would you?" Amber asked nervously.
Snapping back to reality, Acting Grand Master Qin shook her head and smiled, "How could I refuse?"
"If we're counting, Xavier is a hero of our Mondstadt, and if we can't even fulfill such a small request, then we'd be tarnishing the name of Barbatos."
Seeing Acting Grand Master Qin agree to Xavier's request, everyone was very happy.
"That's great! Let's go eat together!" Barbara was also very happy.
Xavier touched his nose, thinking to himself, "Your Barbatos doesn't need to be tarnished; he's already tarnished enough."
"In that case, I'll go to Goth Grand Hotel now to arrange a banquet." The busy Acting Grand Master Qin intended to personally go to Goth Grand Hotel.
However, Xavier stopped her, "There's no need for such trouble!"
"But, isn't that proper hospitality?" Acting Grand Master Qin looked puzzled.
Xavier looked at his hand and said, "Actually, what we eat isn't important at all. What's important is who we share the food with. I think Good Hunter is quite good."
Acting Grand Master Qin was slightly taken aback.
Good Hunter's food indeed had a good reputation, and everyone liked it very much; sometimes she even ordered takeout.
But even so, it didn't mean that Good Hunter's quality was higher than Goth Grand Hotel.
More importantly, Good Hunter was just a small restaurant, and using it for a banquet seemed a bit strange.
"I didn't expect you, Xavier, to be such a connoisseur! Actually, I also really like Good Hunter!" Eula seemed to agree with Xavier's suggestion.
Lisa also agreed, "Not bad, little one. Good Hunter indeed captures the Mondstadt flavor."
"This…"
Even if Acting Grand Master Qin felt it was a bit impolite, it was ultimately Xavier's idea, so she could only agree in the end.
"Wait a moment, I heard someone say they're going to eat. Am I included?"
The door to the room was pushed open, and the dark-skinned Kaeya walked in.
"Kaeya, how many times have I told you to knock before entering?" Acting Grand Master Qin shook her head helplessly.
Kaeya could be considered an anomaly within the Knights of Favonius; his actions and words were very unconventional.
Sometimes she even suspected that Klee's constant mischief had something to do with Kaeya.
"Kaeya, your ears are too sharp! How is it that whenever we talk about food, you show up?" Amber complained.
"Haha, of course!" Kaeya said with a laugh, one hand on his hip, "It would be even better if it came with a glass of fine wine!"
At this moment, he also noticed Xavier and quickly went over.
"Wow, if I'm not mistaken, you're Xavier, right? It's truly an honor to finally meet you!"
This made Xavier a little embarrassed, and he greeted him, "Hello, Kaeya."
Half an hour later, at the entrance of Good Hunter restaurant.
Good Hunter was originally a small restaurant and did not offer banquet services.
In addition to a few tables inside the restaurant, there were also a few placed outside the entrance.
When the weather was good, many people from Mondstadt would come here to enjoy delicious food and experience the freedom bestowed by Barbatos.
Only today was a bit different, because there were many people sitting at the entrance of Good Hunter.
"Sara, you'll have your work cut out for you today!" Amber greeted the owner warmly.
"I didn't expect everyone from the Knights of Favonius to come, and even Acting Grand Master Qin made time to come. It's truly surprising!"
Sara's words made Acting Grand Master Qin's face flush slightly; she was always busy with work and hardly ever went out.
"Everyone, please order without worry. I'm paying today." Acting Grand Master Qin said generously.
As Acting Grand Master Qin's sister, Barbara was not at all polite and shouted, "Then I want grilled fish!"
"Then I want Steak, the juicy kind!" Bennett's mouth was watering just thinking about Steak.
"Then I want a serving of Bolognese!"
"And me, and me…"
Everyone ordered their favorite food, and Sara wrote them down in her small notebook.
While Sara went to prepare the food, two familiar figures passed by.
"Albedo, Sucrose!" Seeing the two people approaching, Amber waved and greeted them.
"Oh, it's Amber." Albedo stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect everyone to be here."
"Um, hello everyone…" The somewhat socially anxious Sucrose hid behind Albedo, gently waving her hand.
"Albedo, you've come at just the right time. This is Xavier, whom you've always been very interested in."
Acting Grand Master Qin introduced Xavier to Albedo.
"So this is Xavier, what a coincidence."
Albedo didn't have much inflection in his voice when he spoke, but one could still sense his goodwill towards Xavier.
"Since it's such a coincidence, why don't you both sit down and have a meal with us!" Xavier invited the two.
Albedo was not the type of person to refuse, so he sat down with Sucrose.
Although Sucrose was a bit socially anxious facing so many people, thankfully Amber was there to take good care of her emotions.
"We just finished an alchemy experiment and were planning to go out for a meal, and we unexpectedly ran into you all. It seems it really is a coincidence."
It turned out that Albedo was also planning to go out to eat.
"Acting Grand Master Qin, the task you gave me has been completed. Do you have any other instructions?"
Albedo and Sucrose had just sat down when a cold voice came from a corner.
This startled some people, and they quickly looked over.
"Rosaria? When did you appear here?!"
She really didn't know what was going on with this rebellious nun, how she could be so elusive.
Acting Grand Master Qin, however, didn't react much and nodded, "It's good that it's handled, after all, that group of Treasure Hoarders has always been very arrogant."
"Hmm? Who is this? He looks very unfamiliar. Could he be an undercover agent sent by another nation?"
Rosaria quickly noticed Xavier and came closer.
This made Xavier blush, and he turned his head to the side, shyly saying, "I'm not a spy; I'm just here to play."
The reason Xavier blushed was not for any other reason, but because Rosaria's clothes were simply too revealing.
If he looked for two more seconds, he would easily see things he shouldn't.
"Is that so? All the villains I've met say that." Rosaria didn't believe him at all.
"Alright, Rosaria, Xavier is a guest of our Mondstadt. You also sit down and have a meal with us." Acting Grand Master Qin said helplessly.
This nun's efficiency in handling matters was indeed very high, but her personality was truly strange.
"Since Acting Grand Master Qin has said so, it would be overstepping for me to press further." Rosaria followed Acting Grand Master Qin's arrangement and sat down beside her.
Her long legs were simply too eye-catching, even among the crowd, they were quite striking.
And she kept looking at Xavier; she said she didn't consider him a spy, but it always felt like she was guarding against something.
"Hey, you drunkard, why are you taking your wine to another place to drink, meow!"
Xavier was trying to avoid Rosaria's gaze when a soft, yet fierce, voice came over.
