Lumine dragged her exhausted body back to Liyue Harbor.
If she had known Suru's commissions were so troubleso, she wouldn't have gone there to earn money.
Originally, because of Mu Yang's presence, they were never short on money.
But after the adventures in Suru, especially after eting Dehya.
The two felt that if they had the ability, they should help those children in Suru.
So they went back to their old job of taking commissions.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Aranara along the way.
These Aranara commissions ca one after another.
By the ti Lumine finished resolving their issues.
She felt like her whole body was about to fall apart.
Fortunately, they earned quite a bit of money in the end.
After donating the money to the orphanage, the two planned to rest for a while.
No matter what, her body couldn't withstand such abuse.
As for Fontaine, let's go a bit later.
Lumine still wanted to see Nasida resolve the desert issue.
Only then would she feel at ease.
Back in Liyue, the two headed toward [Three Bowls Won't Cross the Harbor].
Although Mu Yang wasn't there, fortunately there were still Shenhe and Xinyan.
One cold, one hot—pretty good confidants.
However, the Aranara matter couldn't be ntioned...
Just thinking about where to start, arriving at the door of [Muyu Snow City].
The two were stunned by the scene at the entrance.
Why did it suddenly close for renovations out of the blue?
Lumine thought for a mont; before she left Liyue.
The business here had indeed been stolen by so competitors.
She and Shenhe had tried to salvage it.
But the two were accustod to using fists rather than brains.
Paimon was even less reliable; not eating the shop bankrupt was already a blessing.
So in the end, they couldn't pull the custors back.
This grand renovation shouldn't be Shenhe's doing.
"It's Mu Yang; it must be Mu Yang who's back!"
Lumine couldn't hide her excitent and shouted out loud.
"Where is he, where? How co I don't see him?"
Paimon looked around but didn't spot Mu Yang's figure.
It had been too long since she ate Mu Yang's cooking.
Although they had just eaten at Xinyue Kiosk and Liuli Pavilion during Lantern Rite.
But how could that compare to Master Chef Mu!
Mu Yang would even design new desserts for her...
Lumine gave her a white eye; truly, besides eating, she was no help at all.
At this ti, the milk tea shop's little sister ca over.
She truthfully told Lumine what Mu Yang had instructed earlier.
Only then did the two learn that Mu Yang had taken this ti to go to Mondstadt for the Windblu Festival.
"Windblu Festival, Windblu Festival is great; gentle breeze carrying flower fragrance, the air everywhere sweet and delicious... hehe..."
Who knows what Paimon was imagining.
At this mont, she had already started drooling.
Lumine wasn't thinking about that; it wasn't her first Windblu Festival.
The novelty had worn off a lot.
But Mu Yang—she hadn't seen him in over two hundred days.
What she couldn't understand most was the last ti Mu Yang suddenly left without saying goodbye.
Then disappeared for so long.
Lumine just wanted to see him quickly and ask what exactly happened.
The two imdiately set off, hurrying from Liyue Harbor to Mondstadt City.
The players' event main storyline thus began.
As soon as they entered the city, the two ran into Katheryne.
However, since it was Windblu Festival period, no need to worry about sudden commissions.
According to Mondstadt customs, [Windblu Festival] gifts should be prepared by one's own hands.
It was precisely because of this custom.
That every year's Windblu Festival was the off-season for the Adventurers' Guild operations.
The people of Mondstadt were all enjoying the sweet and leisurely festival atmosphere.
Even the little cats at the Cat's Tail tavern were lazily cuddling together.
The two enthusiastically greeted Katheryne.
Sure enough, no strange commissions... right?
"Lumine, Paimon! Great, I found you; there's sothing I want to ask for your help with."
Lumine heard the voice sounded like Sucrose.
She was used to it.
It seed every festival started with solving a friend's small troubles first.
Then enjoying it peacefully.
Even Mu Yang's Moonchase Festival was like that.
"You take a breath first; speak slowly."
Clearly, Sucrose had run over.
And for the introverted Sucrose to speak up so directly.
It might be sothing important.
"Huff... okay."
Sucrose rested a bit before telling Lumine her commission.
This year, she was selected by the Knights as the special Windblu Festival ambassador.
To do so good deeds within her ability for everyone during this festival symbolizing gratitude and love.
Lumine listened; it did sound quite important.
With Sucrose's personality, she probably felt embarrassed to ask everyone directly.
So she sought her help.
But she was a bit curious; everyone knew Sucrose's temperant.
Why choose her specifically?
Paimon straightforwardly asked, "Not bad, but how was this selected?"
"Using an empty bottle sponsored by [Angel's Share], spinning it against a circular chart with nas written all over; whoever the bottle mouth points to when it stops is the one."
Lumine and Paimon facepald.
Sotis you really have to admire the people of Mondstadt.
"Is this freedom or just randomness..."
Sucrose explained a bit embarrassedly.
"I also thought it was a bit too casual, but everyone said it was to maintain fairness. So everyone has a chance to beco the Windblu Festival special ambassador."
Paimon hands on hips, "Why do I feel like this was Kaeya's idea?"
[No need to feel; it was him]
[This is the free Mondstadt]
[Honestly, I like Liyue the most, but for retirent, Mondstadt is the choice]
Although Lumine and Paimon were complaining about the selection thod for the special ambassador.
Seeing Sucrose happily talking about her ambassador role.
They understood that this thod could work smoothly; there was indeed reason to it.
As the special ambassador, Sucrose's idea was:
To have the helped person breathe a 'breath of happiness' into a test tube.
Then use alchemy to transform...
For Sucrose's wild imagination.
Lumine was already used to it.
Just everyone breathing into it.
Wasn't that a bit...
But Sucrose had already reached the final step; only one last 'happy breath' was missing.
Lumine didn't say much more and pushed Paimon forward.
Paimon said, "I thought it was sothing big; this is easy to solve!"
"Just treat to a Sweet Mada, and I can blow what you want."
This ti, she really found a loophole.
Help first, then breathe!
Seeing Sucrose silent for a while.
Paimon pressed, "Could it be you need a more serious 'happiness'?"
Sucrose shook her head; actually, the reason she wanted Lumine's help was to use her connections.
To find people who truly needed help.
In Mondstadt City, she had already asked everyone she could approach herself.
Now only one last breath was missing.
Paimon pondered deeply, "For Windblu Festival, it feels a bit difficult?"
Sucrose visibly wilted, "If even an experienced traveler like the Honorary Knight has no way..."
Lumine quickly stopped her, "Maybe there's one person who can help you; he's also co to Mondstadt."
Hearing that, Paimon also realized, "You're not talking about Mu Yang, right?"
