Meanwhile, Mr. Faxun recounted many stories about Liyue to Raiden Makoto.
Throughout the entire process, Raiden Makoto listened very intently.
Makoto rested her chin on her hand, a faint smile on her face.
Her gaze remained fixed on Mr. Faxun the entire time, never leaving him.
After finishing the stories, Makoto picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Mr. Faxun.
"Listening to Mr. Faxun, I think Liyue must be a very nice city."
Mr. Faxun nodded, agreeing with Raiden Makoto's statement.
"It is indeed very good. How should I put it, Liyue is a city suitable for retirement."
"After I travel through the Seven Nations, I will likely settle in Liyue in the end."
For Mr. Faxun, among the Seven Nations, Liyue was the city he felt the most affinity for.
Of course, besides the affinity for Liyue, there was also a most important point:
His home was there.
Mr. Faxun looked at the Little Cuties and said with a light chuckle, "No matter when, there will always be someone waiting for me to return there."
As he spoke, Mr. Faxun paused slightly,
Because he noticed that the Xiao Jiahuo had already started yawning,
They looked like they were sleepy.
Every time after lunch, these little girls would get sleepy.
After a long time, it had become a habit.
Raiden Makoto also noticed this and said with a smile, "Are the Xiao Jiahuo going to take a nap?"
"Then let's find a quiet place for them to rest well."
"But where should we choose for the Xiao Jiahuo to rest?"
If it were Inazuma from several centuries ago, Raiden Makoto would have a place to arrange for the Xiao Jiahuo,
But now Inazuma had changed too much, and Raiden Makoto could not offer suggestions; she herself was not familiar with Inazuma.
Mr. Faxun pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he immediately had an idea.
"Makoto, I know a quiet place where the Xiao Jiahuo can take a good nap, and we won't be bored either."
"What place is it?"
"Yae Publishing House!"
Mr. Faxun stood up and began to recall the small dark room Yae Miko had taken him to.
"As far as I know, Yae Publishing House has several rooms in relatively secluded areas. They are absolutely quiet and not far from here."
Raiden Makoto blinked her big eyes and said earnestly, "Mr. Faxun, the Yae Publishing House you mentioned was created by Miko, wasn't it? Ei mentioned these things to me earlier."
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen that Xiao Girl Miko. Since that's the case, let's go see how she's been recently."
When Yae Miko was still a pink-haired fox, her favorite thing to do every day was to lie in Makoto's arms and sleep.
Speaking of which, their relationship was very good,
So good that Raiden Makoto regarded Yae Miko as her second younger sister.
It was precisely because of this that Raiden Makoto felt it necessary to see Yae Miko.
Seeing that Raiden Makoto had no objections, Mr. Faxun began to plan their afternoon itinerary.
"The Xiao Jiahuo can comfortably take a nap there, and we can also read some light novels."
"I heard that Yae Publishing House recently has several light novels that are quite good, saying they make people feel like falling in love after reading them."
Mr. Faxun paused, then looked at Raiden Makoto: "Speaking of which, Makoto, have you read light novels?"
Raiden Makoto gently shook her head: "I regret to say, I have not read light novels, and I have very little understanding of them."
"I only occasionally heard Ei mention light novels; she said there are only two best things in this world: desserts and light novels."
"She also emphasized to me that reading light novels is also a way to temper oneself."
"I'm not sure if light novels can have a tempering effect, but sometimes when I see Ei rolling around and giggling with a light novel, she looks quite silly."
"I asked her to show me the contents of the book, but she would blush and hide it. I always felt something was strange."
Raiden Makoto blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion, "Mr. Faxun, do light novels truly possess such great charm?"
Mr. Faxun also didn't know how to answer; he just smiled and said, "Let's go to Yae Publishing House, and perhaps you will find your answer there."
Raiden Makoto gently hummed in affirmation, then put her mask back on.
Not long after, Mr. Faxun led the Xiao Jiahuo down to the second floor.
Seeing the little girls so sleepy they were dozing off while walking,
Mr. Faxun decided to quickly take the Little Cuties to rest.
As he left, he glanced at the restaurant's main entrance.
The first floor was empty, with no customers.
He could see the manager cleaning up, holding several jades in his hand.
They were Liyue's special jade stones, appearing crystal clear and very beautiful under the sunlight.
The manager mumbled as he tidied up, "Using jade stones for transactions, this is the first time I've encountered that."
Mr. Faxun walked over and asked, "Manager, may I ask who gave you these jade stones?"
He could tell that these jade stones were likely treasures from Azhdaha.
This meant that Azhdaha had been here.
However, Mr. Faxun was not certain, so he decided to inquire about the situation first.
Facing Mr. Faxun's question, the manager happily replied, "Oh, a young couple gave them to me, and they also had two strange friends with them."
A couple, two strange friends?
The couple should be Morax and Guizhong,
And the strange friends would be Venti and Azhdaha.
As for why Venti and Azhdaha were called strange, Mr. Faxun didn't know,
But what the manager said seemed to make sense.
Mr. Faxun continued to ask, "How long ago did they leave? And in which direction did they go?"
The manager casually replied, "They just left not long ago, in that direction..."
As he spoke, the manager froze,
Because there was no one in the direction he was pointing.
The manager scratched his head and said in confusion, "That's really strange, I just saw them here a moment ago, how did they disappear in the blink of an eye?"
"It's fine, thank you."
"That's just their style; in the blink of an eye, you don't know where they've run off to."
"They always come to find me; it's quite difficult for me to find them."
