It was dinner ti, and the second floor was about to close.
The hour had co; now it was the first floor's turn to make money!
The three gods bid farewell to Mu Yang and Lumine before leaving separately.
The player side displayed: Activity continues in two days...
[That's it? I haven't had enough yet]
[Be content; three old friends getting to et like this—what a blessing]
[Prison Yang is a god too, the god of wish-fulfillnt]
The player event ended, but the part-ti life in Teyvat did not.
The entire afternoon was packed with custors; the little shop's business was booming.
Lumine and Paimon were both feeling the pressure maxed out.
Lumine slumped over the bar counter. "I'd rather fight Hydro Specters than listen to those annoying requests..."
Paimon was already lying flat on the counter, serene.JPG
"Hard work, Lumine—and Paimon too."
Lumine lifted her head. "Before we ca, was Mu Yang handling everything alone?"
This intensity—he'd probably work himself to death.
Mu Yang tidied up, smiling faintly.
"Not exactly, but I sent them for training. After all, they're not as talented as you—understanding everything with just a hint."
When Wendy praised her, Lumine put her hands on her hips, looking badass.
When Mu Yang praised her, Lumine suddenly grew shy. "Hehe..."
Paimon jolted upright from her near-death state. "Stop!"
"My! Stomach! Is! Hungry!"
Mu Yang understood this hungry dragon's roar.
Today's Paimon was not only useful but extrely obedient.
To ensure dinner, she perford her duties diligently and didn't dare covet the custors' things...
Mu Yang personally cooked, preparing a sumptuous banquet for the two.
Only then was Paimon satisfied.
After eating, Mu Yang sent them to rest.
"You should rest early too."
"Mhm, goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Mu Yang could actually slack off and let the system handle these tasks, but he didn't.
He was enjoying the tranquility after the bustle.
Moreover, he had a premonition that soone would co tonight...
Under the lights, the young man was wiping wine glasses.
The door of [Muyu Snow City] was pushed open. "Closing ti?"
Mu Yang looked up; the visitor was beyond his expectations.
"Since I sent an invitation, there's naturally no such thing as closing."
"Good, I ca specifically for the old acquaintance freebie."
Rosaria skillfully sat on a bar stool; she was no stranger to taverns.
"From your earlier look, you didn't expect to show up?"
"A bit unexpected." Mu Yang didn't deny it.
He knew this Mondstadt nun had another identity.
She was active under the silver moonlight.
Using Cryo elental spells and a polearm to judge those who threatened Mondstadt.
Thus, she always ended her nun duties on ti to begin her 'night life'...
For soone like her, it should be hard to invite.
But the two had fought side-by-side at Mondstadt's gates.
Afterward, Rosaria even found Mu Yang and gave him a bottle of wine.
So Mu Yang likewise sent an invitation to the Favonius Cathedral.
That ti, the two didn't exchange a single word.
Because Mu Yang back then was playing the aloof pretender. (not really)
Rosaria didn't know what topic to bring up with him.
They simply stayed silent and drank dry.
But now it was different; this environnt was familiar enough for Rosaria.
"Honestly, if I wasn't curious about the Liyue mark up there, that letter would've been trash."
Rosaria pulled out a 'mosquito coil.' "Mind if I?"
"Go ahead."
She puffed clouds while flipping through the nu.
"You'd better satisfy here. For this few-day vacation, next month I have to join Barbara's choir."
Mu Yang had been mixing drinks since earlier.
This one was made by feel.
After all, he truly hadn't expected Rosaria to co.
Even Lisa had a higher chance than her.
Mu Yang went through the motions and pushed a pale purple iced drink forward.
"[In the Night]"
"You didn't just co up with that na, did you." Rosaria said flatly.
She extinguished her smoke, picked up this drink that seed custom-made for her, and took a sip.
"Not bad, for a rcenary who switched careers."
Truthfully, Rosaria ca not because her bond with Mu Yang was that strong.
Strong enough to join the choir for overti to trade for vacation.
She just found it intriguing that a rcenary who casually talked about slaying dragons had opened a tavern.
The matter itself was interesting.
If it was to disguise and approach a target, there was no need to invite Mondstadt friends over.
Otherwise, the target's vigilance was high, and the act wouldn't fool without full commitnt.
No matter the case, Rosaria wanted to co see.
After all, Mu Yang's performance in Mondstadt was too eye-catching.
Soone who could give him trouble must be very interesting.
Unfortunately, she seed to have overthought...
Mu Yang naturally wouldn't seriously answer her question, just kept serving her drinks.
Not bad, huh? Tsundere, huh? Drink for .
Drink until you say it's good...
The door of [Muyu Snow City] opened again.
Mu Yang couldn't help wondering just how many night owls he knew?
"The maid downstairs seems to think the second floor is where I should go."
Yelan looked at Mu Yang, who was pouring drinks for the pretty lady, and asked.
"Is this where I should be?"
Rosaria downed the last half-glass in one gulp.
"I'm out. Better than [Angel's Share]. Thanks for the treat."
With that, she stood and left, passing Yelan.
The two nodded casually in greeting, yet both clearly sensed the other was the sa type.
Tonight was destined to be a long night; who knew what sparks these two would strike?
Yelan retracted her gaze. "The Adeptus's friends really are all over the Teyvat continent."
"What Ade finalize? Just an ordinary tavern owner."
Mu Yang organized the bar, wiping his hands with a handkerchief.
"What'll you have."
"Didn't you predict I'd co?"
Yelan looked at [Orchid in the Rain] on the nu, and in the illustration, the drink's color sche and dice garnish.
It was this direct; why ask more.
"Then, add so Jueyun Chili-flavored sparkling water?"
Yelan was speechless; she did like spicy food.
But Jueyun Chili plus sparkling water was a bit devilishly unorthodox.
"Can't say I'm impressed."
...
Mu Yang stood at the shop door, seeing off the last custor.
"Take care; co pick it up anyti after drinking."
That custor didn't vanish into the shadows as usual.
Because she was carrying a case of Jueyun Chili-flavored sparkling water...
(Tomorrow: Liyue's little ones and Changsheng, then The Crane Returns on the Wind)
