Chapter 437: Chapter 437
Mooncakes were undoubtedly Klee's favorite.
As soon as she took a bite of the sweet mooncake, her eyes lit up immediately.
"Delicious!! Takumi big brother, I want more!!"
Hearing Klee's words, Takumi was speechless.
"We'll have dinner later. Just have a taste for now."
Takumi rubbed the little girl's head and handed her a piece of five-nut mooncake. However, Klee didn't like five-nut mooncakes. She took a small bite and put it down, uninterested.
Of course, some people liked it, while others didn't. Takumi, for example, liked all kinds of mooncakes.
Both Qiqi and Ganyu preferred lotus seed paste mooncakes. Especially Ganyu—after eating just a small piece, she stopped because it was too sweet.
She liked it, but she was afraid of gaining weight.
After eating mooncakes, dinner began.
At the table, Yae Miko looked at Takumi curiously and asked:
"Is Liyue's Moon Festival coming up next? What do people do for it? Is it fun?"
She was curious.
Faced with her question, Takumi was momentarily speechless.
"You're asking me? I don't even know. You'd be better off asking Yaoyao."
"Ask her? Are you joking?" Yae Miko looked doubtful.
Yaoyao, who was busy eating, heard Takumi's words and raised her head.
Looking at Yae Miko, she answered seriously:
"It's fun! Super fun! Sister Miko, you should definitely go out and enjoy it."
Although others might have different opinions, Yaoyao found the festival extremely fun.
"Alright, I'll look forward to it then."
For children, most festivals were fun no matter what. Yae Miko didn't overthink it.
However, the fact that Takumi himself didn't know whether the Moon Festival was fun was quite surprising.
"That's really puzzling. You're the manager of Guili Plains, yet you don't know if the Moon Festival is fun? Are you even from Liyue?" Yae Miko teased.
Hearing this, Takumi blinked.
"Has no one told you that I'm from another world? I'm really not from Liyue."
Sorry, but he was genuinely not from Liyue.
Upon hearing this, Yae Miko finally realized. "Oh, I forgot! In my mind, you're already a Liyue citizen."
She was a little helpless. Takumi had assimilated so well that she had subconsciously thought of him as a native of Liyue.
Takumi chuckled.
"Well, I am indeed a Liyue citizen now. It's written on my ID card."
As soon as Takumi finished speaking, Klee excitedly added:
"Klee is also from Liyue! It says so on my ID card too!"
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
If Jean were to hear this, she might cry.
A knight of Mondstadt had switched allegiance to Liyue?
With the arrival of the Moon Festival, many people returned to Liyue for the celebrations.
Beidou, for instance, timed her return to coincide with the festival. She even brought back fewer goods this time.
At this moment, Beidou was already on her way back to Liyue.
However, what she didn't know was that an unexpected passenger had boarded her ship—the Wanderer.
After backstabbing Childe and escaping with the Gnosis, the Wanderer had decided to visit Liyue.
Many things had happened in Liyue, and the appearance of an outsider from another world intrigued him.
So, after obtaining the Gnosis, he sneaked onto Beidou's ship.
Beidou had no idea.
At this moment, the Wanderer sat in an unoccupied corner, staring at the dark sea, lost in thought.
Although he now possessed a Gnosis, he couldn't use it.
Raiden Shogun had discarded him because he lacked the ability to contain a Gnosis.
Now that he had obtained it, he felt more lost than ever.
He had always yearned for the Gnosis, but now that he had it, he felt emptier than before.
He had betrayed the Fatui.
So, what was next?
Where should he go?
Lost in thought, he drifted along with Beidou's ship, heading toward Liyue.
Back in Liyue, the festive atmosphere was growing stronger.
With the Moon Festival approaching, the streets were getting livelier.
Schools were also on holiday for the occasion.
During holidays, students had designated breaks. As a result, little children in school uniforms could be seen running around the streets.
After years of development, many had settled in Liyue.
This had become their new home.
Children from Qingce Village had also returned home for the Moon Festival.
Meanwhile, the mooncakes Takumi had ordered Xiangling to make were finally ready, just one day before the festival.
A cartload of mooncakes was transported to the General Affairs Department.
The distribution process had already been arranged.
Xiangling had been extremely busy preparing them. In addition to the mooncakes for Takumi, she had also made extra batches to sell.
Wanmin Restaurant had temporarily closed to focus on mooncake production.
When they finally reopened, people were thrilled.
Seeing the mooncakes, many were curious.
Upon learning that Takumi had personally commissioned Xiangling to make them, even more people became interested.
One by one, they bought some out of curiosity.
Some even tasted them on the spot, savoring the delicious flavor.
Some customers immediately decided to buy several more boxes to take home.
Because of this, the extra mooncakes Xiangling had prepared sold out within the morning.
Xiangling was shocked by how quickly they sold out and immediately led her team to make more.
She hadn't expected them to be so popular.
Meanwhile, after confirming that all the ordered mooncakes had arrived, Takumi said to Keqing:
"Let's start distributing the mooncakes. Each employee at the General Affairs Department gets one box."
"We have about 500 boxes here."
"I didn't prepare enough this year, so I'll make more next year."
"For everyone else, we'll serve spicy pork buns instead."
Looking at the mooncakes in front of him, Takumi made his decision.
The supply was limited this year.
Giving mooncakes to everyone was impossible, so only the General Affairs Department staff would receive them.
For other workers, they would receive monetary bonuses.
Next year, he would prepare more.
Hearing Takumi's arrangement, Keqing had no objections.
"I'll handle it now!"
"I'll also notify finance to start distributing salaries and bonuses."
She glanced at the mooncakes, then at Takumi.
Keqing felt that Takumi should be the one to hand them out personally.
After all, he had arranged for their production.
