"If you're talking about the idea of setting up a tourist route between Snezhnaya and the Herta Space Station, of course I have that thought."
La Signora pursed her lips and said.
Although wearing this outfit was an accident, she couldn't deny her desire for Takagi to set up a route in Snezhnaya.
No matter what, she was currently loyal to the Tsaritsa.
"Indeed, this outfit of yours is not as simple as you say."
Cloud Retainer pushed up her glasses, a glint flashing in her eyes.
Lisa and Nahida nodded in agreement.
[Columbina: La Signora, you're quite something.]
[Arlecchino: Although her wearing that outfit was an accident, if it can lead Lord Takagi to set up the Astral Express route in Snezhnaya, that would be excellent.]
[Dori: No way, is Snezhnaya going to snatch it up?]
[Ningguang: I don't think it will be that easy.]
[Rosaria: It won't be easy or simple to convince Lord Takagi.]
[Eula: Perhaps we can let Lisa try to win him over again.]
[Yanfei: Go, Cloud Retainer!]
[Shenhe: Go, Master.]
"I already said, I didn't change into this outfit for this reason."
La Signora looked at the expressions of the people in front of her, and at the discussions on the forum, and helplessly put her hand on her forehead.
Seeing this scene, Lisa chuckled twice and turned to look at Takagi.
"Lord Takagi, can I ask Asta for some new clothes too?"
"My previous clothes were also damaged in the battle."
Lisa said.
Takagi: "Didn't you bring new clothes yourself?"
Lisa: "But the ones I brought are all witch's outfits, and they only have black stockings, no white ones. Don't you want to see me in white stockings, Takagi?"
"Hmm... that is indeed a problem." Takagi stroked his chin, nodded seriously, and said:
"Alright, if you want them, go ask Asta for them."
"A few outfits or something, I think she should be able to give them to you."
"Thank you then, Takagi." Lisa smiled and looked at Cloud Retainer next to her:
"Cloud Retainer, do you need some new clothes?"
"Your disciples are cheering you on too."
Cloud Retainer: "..."
"It's getting late today, I need to go to my room and rest for a while."
"If there's nothing else, we'll see each other tomorrow."
"Don't cause any trouble at the Space Station while I'm sleeping, okay?"
Takagi placed the unread book in his hand on the table and stood up from the sofa.
"Are you going to rest so early?"
"Do you need me to sing you a lullaby, Takagi?"
Lisa said with a smile.
"I'm not a child anymore, what lullaby? I'm leaving."
Takagi waved his hand and walked towards the sleeping carriage, quickly disappearing from La Signora and the others' sight.
"You're not really going to Lord Takagi's room later, are you?"
La Signora frowned and asked, looking at Lisa, who was still staring at the adjacent carriage.
"What, are you worried that I'll get too close to Takagi and it will affect you?"
Lisa said to La Signora with interest.
"Hmph! I just want to warn you to show more respect to Lord Takagi."
"Don't think that just because you have some looks, you can joke around with Lord Takagi casually."
La Signora snorted coldly.
Hearing this, Lisa became even more interested in La Signora.
"It seems that after being saved by Lord Takagi once, you've become quite respectful of him."
"Should I understand that you don't want the person you respect to be led astray by a bad woman?"
"Should I understand that if I accidentally really become Takagi's person, you'll worry that you'll have to be extremely respectful to me too?"
Lisa rested her hand on her chin and said with a smile.
La Signora: "..."
"Forget it, it seems I can't talk much with you."
"I'd better go experience the Forgotten Hall."
Seeing La Signora's silence, Lisa said no more and walked with her long legs towards the Forgotten Hall in the corner.
"This woman..."
La Signora glared at Lisa's back unhappily, and also stepped towards the Forgotten Hall.
She didn't want to fall behind Lisa in obtaining materials from the Forgotten Hall again.
Cloud Retainer: "The emotions of mortals are truly difficult to understand."
Nahida: "Lord Takagi is so extraordinary, it should be normal for him to attract the attention of some women, right?"
Cloud Retainer shook her head and said:
"Although that is true, Lord Takagi is a Long-Life Species after all. It will inevitably be extremely difficult for mortals to be with him."
"Unless it is an existence like us Long-Life Species, perhaps there is a slight possibility."
"However, Lord Takagi's lifespan should be longer than the Long-Life Species in Teyvat, right?"
"In this case, even Ganyu wouldn't be able to be with Lord Takagi, right?"
Thinking of this, Cloud Retainer couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
Nahida rested her hand on her chin, seemingly also thinking about something.
[Ganyu: Master, why are you using me as an example?!]
[Yanfei: Perhaps, Cloud Retainer wants to introduce you to Lord Takagi, hehe.]
[Ganyu: This, I...]
[Dehya: But Cloud Retainer is right, Lord Takagi will definitely live for a very long time. Ordinary people simply can't marry and have children with him.
Speaking of which, does Lord Takagi, as the Aeon of Trailblaze who is gradually recovering, really need to marry and have children with a woman?]
[Candace: The Aeon of Trailblaze is very close to humans, and Lord Takagi behaves very humanely,
He should be able to become companions with someone according to his own will, right?]
[Baizhu: Although Lord Takagi is [The Trailblaze], he can use The Power of Destiny of Abundance.
Perhaps he can also make an ordinary person with only a hundred years of life live much longer, right?]
[Hu Tao: I have to say 'Abominations of Abundance warning' again at this time.]
[Baizhu: Lord Takagi has mastered multiple Paths. If he takes action directly, will he have the power to directly grant someone Immortality?]
[Ningguang: Is Mr. Baizhu setting his sights on Lord Takagi this time?]
[Baizhu: I'm just proposing an idea. I think with Lord Takagi's power, he can at least ensure his companion has the same lifespan as himself.
So I think if a woman wants to pursue Lord Takagi, she doesn't need to worry too much about the lifespan issue.]
[Keqing: I can't tell, you're quite good at being a matchmaker, Baizhu.]
[Baizhu: Thank you for the compliment, Miss Keqing, for now.]
[Dori: Whether I can be Takagi's wife or not is another matter for now,
Let's consider how to get Lord Takagi to build the Astral Express station at my doorstep first.]
[Dehya: Hey, why your doorstep?!]
[Rosaria: If Lisa changes into the clothes Asta brought, can she make Takagi set the Astral Express in Mondstadt?]
[Columbina: I'll still vote for La Signora.]
[Shenhe: Master, go for it.]
[Cloud Retainer:...]
...
Teyvat.
Mondstadt.
Windrise.
"Our people in Mondstadt and your people in Liyue are fiercely competing."
"Everyone wants to build a tourist route in their own area."
Venti said with a smile, looking at Zhongli, who was sitting opposite him and sipping wine.
"The things shown by the Herta Space Station far surpass Teyvat."
"It's normal for people to be interested in going there."
Zhongli put down his wine glass and said calmly.
"However, it is precisely because the things displayed there far surpass Teyvat."
"It will be more difficult for people from Teyvat to get something from there than to get something in Belobog, right?"
Venti said with a smile.
Zhongli nodded in agreement.
In Belobog, passengers from Teyvat might still be able to exchange something using Teyvat's resources.
But in the Herta Space Station, what can Teyvat offer in exchange for what it wants?
"To exchange for things beneficial to Teyvat at the Herta Space Station."
"Perhaps it's more difficult than exchanging for something in the Xianzhou Alliance that Lord Takagi once mentioned, right?"
"After all, in the Xianzhou Alliance, you Liyue can still use things like culture to communicate."
Venti said, smiling towards Zhongli beside him.
"The matter of the Starskiff is still very far away."
"Let's discuss matters related to the Xianzhou Alliance later."
"As for the route between Teyvat and the Herta Space Station."
"Where do you think Takagi intends to set it up?"
Zhongli asked.
"Since Nahida proposed it, Takagi will likely set the Astral Express in Sumeru."
"Provided that Nahida solves the problems in Sumeru first."
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Venti's face.
"However, Nahida has already stepped onto a Path."
"She has also broadened her horizons through the trip to the Herta Space Station."
"Presumably, she will be able to solve the current problems in Sumeru well."
"Compared to Sumeru, we should worry about other things."
Speaking of this, Venti's expression instantly became extremely serious.
"You mean the Gnosis that Takagi mentioned unintentionally is a curse, right?"
Zhongli let out a breath, his expression also becoming serious.
Venti nodded and said,
"Although Lord Takagi is from outside Teyvat, he seems to be extremely knowledgeable about internal matters in Teyvat."
"I don't think he would joke about a special item like the Gnosis."
"Since he said the Gnosis is a curse, then there must be a problem with the Gnosis."
Saying this, Venti took out his Anemo Archon's Gnosis.
Zhongli did the same.
Just by looking at their Gnosies from the outside, they resembled beautifully shaped chess pieces.
They didn't seem to have any connection to curses or the like.
"If this thing is a curse, I wonder how that person will handle it after getting these things, and what kind of impact it will cause."
Venti shook his head and sighed.
Although Venti didn't say that person's name, Zhongli understood that he was referring to the Tsaritsa, who was currently collecting the Gnosies.
"Although the object before us might carry a curse, Takagi also mentioned that it does contain power."
"Perhaps that person can truly achieve something with this power."
Zhongli said casually and put his Gnosis away.
"Even so, there are currently Paths that are much more useful than this thing."
"Or is it that she feels she doesn't have much hope of getting on Takagi's Astral Express?"
Venti chuckled.
Zhongli: "..."
"Forget it, if she wants it, let her have it."
"I don't want to keep curses or anything like that around."
Venti tossed the Gnosis in his hand as if it were a toy, saying with a smile.
Zhongli: "Decided?"
Venti nodded and said,
"Mm, I was originally hesitant, but after Takagi's words, I could only make this decision."
"Actually, this is good too, it's just everything returning to the original plan."
"Old man, you should have similar thoughts to me, right?"
Hearing this, Zhongli silently looked up at the sky:
"Let's take it one step at a time."
"The changing wind has not yet blown to Liyue."
Venti raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhongli with a smiling face:
"Wind? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for me to say that?"
Zhongli: "..."
...
The next day, dawn.
Space Station
"I say, you few haven't been grinding in the Forgotten Hall all night, have you?"
Takagi looked at Cloud Retainer, Lisa, Nahida, and La Signora, who were sitting on the sofa looking tired, and asked.
"Well, well, it wasn't grinding all night."
"I still took an hour off in between to rest."
Lisa smiled and raised her hand to show Takagi the rewards she had obtained after working in the Forgotten Hall all night.
"Just one hour of rest isn't enough."
"Even if it's to save time and get enhancement materials."
"You'd best do what you can."
Takagi shook his head and stuffed the breakfast bread he hadn't had time to eat into Lisa's hand.
"Thanks, Takagi. By the way, do you think this outfit I'm wearing today looks good?"
Lisa smiled, especially stepping her leg, clad in white stockings, towards Takagi.
"Of course it looks good, but you've stayed in the Forgotten Hall for too long and expended too much energy."
"The skin on your face looks a bit tired, you know."
Takagi chuckled.
Hearing this, Lisa was startled and quickly took out a mirror to look at her face.
"Speaking of which, Dottore didn't come back all night."
"Has he been busy with his experiments at the Space Station?"
Takagi didn't sense Dottore's presence on the Astral Express, so he looked at La Signora next to him and asked.
La Signora, who was also holding a mirror and looking at her face, heard Takagi's words and quickly turned around to look at Takagi and said,
"As for him, he probably wanted to take advantage of Lord Takagi's Blessing not having disappeared yet to quickly complete his research and step onto a Path through his research."
Cloud Retainer: "Lord Takagi, is your Blessing still ongoing?"
Takagi: "It's still ongoing, but there isn't much time left."
Although the duration of the Blessing buff has been extended after starting the second journey.
It's still far from being able to cover the entire duration of the journey.
[Pantalone: It seems there isn't enough time left for Dottore.]
[Arlecchino: Could it be that he really has no way to step onto a Path?]
[Tartaglia: If he loses this opportunity, I think I can laugh at him for a long time.]
"Lord Takagi, may I come in?"
At this moment, a gentle voice came from the Astral Express entrance.
Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a woman with beautiful black hair, wearing a long dark green dress with plum blossom decorations at her waist, standing at the Astral Express entrance.
"What a beautiful woman!"
La Signora's beautiful eyes widened.
Even as a woman herself, she had to admit the excellence of the woman before her.
"Indeed, not only is her appearance beautiful, her temperament is also very beautiful."
Nahida nodded in agreement.
"What an elegant woman."
"And her attire seems somewhat similar to yours, Cloud Retainer."
Lisa looked at Cloud Retainer next to her and said.
"Is she a Xianzhou native?"
Cloud Retainer muttered to herself, looking at the back of Takagi who was walking towards the woman at the entrance.
"Ruan Mei, have you arrived at Herta Space Station?"
"Come in quickly."
Takagi extended his hand, inviting Ruan Mei in with a smile.
[Alhaitham: Ruan Mei? She's the genius Takagi mentioned who is on the same level as Herta!]
[Faruzan: The genius who built the Simulated Universe with Herta is actually also a beautiful lady.]
[Yae Miko: Even as a woman, I have to admit her beauty.]
[Kaveh: I wonder what this genius is here to see Lord Takagi about?]
[Albedo: Could it be that Herta's Simulated Universe has been maintained, and we can see things about the Aeon of Propagation again?]
[Sucrose: Are we, are we going to see that bug... Aeon again?]
[Rosaria: Although learning about Aeons is a good thing, thinking about seeing those disgusting bugs makes me feel a bit unhappy.]
[Jean: Perhaps we can learn more about [The Trailblaze], about Takagi.]
[Rosaria: That point is quite good.]
