Several hours later.
Dusk was gradually falling.
Takagi and Lisa were chatting and laughing at the dining table.
"Takagi, does Mondstadt's cuisine suit your taste?" Lisa asked.
"Mm, it's very refreshing cuisine," Takagi said.
"As long as it suits your taste. By the way, is someone messaging you privately again?" Seeing that Takagi seemed to be looking at something in front of him, Lisa asked curiously.
"Yeah, this time it's a very interesting person." Takagi looked at the account named 'Aether' and laughed.
Lisa: "An interesting person, huh?"
Takagi: "Although interesting, there's no need for a special reply. Anyway, I've already turned on 'do not disturb' mode."
Lisa: "Is that really okay?"
Takagi: "It's fine, it's fine. Besides, with a beautiful lady like Miss Lisa here, I have no interest in replying to these private messages."
Lisa: "Your words are truly sweet, Takagi."
Takagi: "After all, you invited me to dinner, didn't you?"
Lisa covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Seeing Takagi put down his knife and fork, she called for the waiter to get the bill. Immediately after, Lisa led Takagi toward the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
"Speaking of the remaining iconic buildings in Mondstadt, there is the Knights of Favonius Headquarters here. Takagi, are you interested in going inside and taking a look?" Lisa smiled.
"The Knights of Favonius Headquarters? I am indeed interested. But can an outsider like me go in?" Takagi asked.
"If it were an ordinary person, naturally they couldn't go in. But it's clear, Takagi, you are not an ordinary person." Lisa smiled, turning her head to glance at the two Thunder Cicin Mages lingering not far behind.
"That is truly my honor," Takagi said.
"In that case, please come in." After Lisa finished speaking, she took the initiative to reach out and pull Takagi's hand toward the main entrance.
Takagi didn't stop her. As for the two Thunder Cicin Mages who had been following them, they naturally had no way to enter the headquarters. Having no other choice, they could only open the forum and contact La Signora through the private message function.
Inside the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
"Wow, you! You're the big brother from the forum during the day!" Takagi was quietly walking down the corridor with Lisa when suddenly an enthusiastic voice called out.
"Klee, why are you still here?" Lisa looked at Klee, who was running over quickly, and asked in surprise.
"Be-because I also want to go and see the outside world. But Acting Grand Master Jean isn't willing for me to go along. So, I hid inside the headquarters!" Klee pursed her lips, looking at Takagi with anticipation.
"Don't blame Jean; she's just worried about you." Lisa smiled at Klee, then turned to Takagi: "Takagi, this little girl is Klee. Don't look at her age; she's also a knight of our order. Everyone calls her the Spark Knight."
"That's truly amazing." Takagi squatted down and patted Klee's head. "You also want to go and see the Star Dome Universe?"
"Mm, Klee wants to go! Klee also wants to be able to go to different worlds, just like her mommy. Big brother, can you take me?" Klee nodded heavily.
"Hehe, such a cute visitor like Klee is naturally welcome. How about this: I'll add your name to the selection list. Afterward, if you're selected, I'll take you to Belobog. Speaking of which, I remember there's a little girl in Belobog named Hook. If you two were to meet, perhaps you could become very good friends." Takagi laughed.
Teyvat's Klee is the Spark Knight, skilled with explosives. Belobog's Hook is the leader of 'The Moles,' also skilled with explosives. If these two could meet, the results would be interesting.
Klee: "That's great! Thank you, big brother!"
Takagi: "Go back for now, Klee. I'll notify you when you're selected."
Klee: "Okay, I'll listen to big brother!"
After getting a satisfactory answer, Klee happily ran back in the direction she came from.
"If Jean knew about this, she'd probably be quite worried," Lisa smiled.
"Well, she'd only worry if Klee gets selected. Besides, I can't bear to refuse such a cute little girl," Takagi said as he followed Lisa toward Jean's office.
Lisa: "Takagi, do you like children very much? Could it be that you are also a parent?"
Takagi: "Although I really want to have my own child, unfortunately, for now, no beautiful girl has taken a fancy to me."
Lisa: "You're joking. A mysterious man like you... I believe many girls would like you."
Takagi: "Is that so?"
Lisa: "At least, I am very interested in you."
Takagi: "That would truly be an honor. If I could have a child with a beautiful lady like Miss Lisa, I would also be very happy."
Lisa: "Children... a fascinating topic. But for now, let's go see Jean."
Lisa suddenly stopped and pushed open the door to the office. At this moment, the originally spacious room was quite crowded. The people inside were discussing the journey intensely.
"Everyone is here." Lisa's lazy voice attracted everyone's attention.
"Lisa, you're back! Takagi is here too!" Jean said.
"Good evening, everyone." Takagi waved a greeting, his gaze sweeping over the faces in the room. Aside from Lumine, Paimon, Barbara, Kaeya, Noelle, and Diluc, he saw Rosaria, Sucrose, Amber, and Eula gathered there.
Rosaria: "Good evening."
Sucrose: "H-hello."
Eula: "To make me see you so late... I've marked this as a grievance!"
"Good evening, Takagi! I finally see you. I'm the Outrider of the Knights of Favonius." Amber enthusiastically approached Takagi, then looked at Eula: "Please don't mind Eula's words; she's not really holding a grudge."
"I understand." Takagi nodded, looking at Eula with a smile. Tsundere behavior was something Takagi was quite familiar with.
"Speaking of which, are the people here the ones who plan to travel with me to Belobog?" Takagi asked.
"To be precise, besides us, there are others who couldn't make it in time. But I think that shouldn't affect your random selection, right? Your train is so fast; if you draw someone not present, you can quickly find them," Kaeya said.
"If I draw someone, I can indeed be responsible for picking them up and dropping them off. This can be considered my freedom as a guide," Takagi laughed.
"Paimon, I think you should learn from Takagi," Lumine said.
"What do you mean? My self-cultivation as a guide is also very good!" Paimon stomped the air, then quickly flew to Takagi's side. "Takagi, Lumine and I have both decided to travel with you. But I don't want to be separated from Lumine. Can one of us be selected, and the other follow along?"
