Even Losing the Lord of Geo, People will Still Continue to live

In the vast majority of cases, Ganyu is a secretary worthy of trust. It's hard to imagine anyone who could outperform her in the face of such a huge workload. Not to mention her unique and sharp insights into everything in Liyue. But Ganyu's reliability can only be maintained under "the vast majority of circumstances". The more she tries to be flawless at crucial junctures, the more nervous she becomes, often making mistakes under enormous psychological pressure.

Qilin is a celestial beast that doesn't partake in the mundane world's affairs, and in Ganyu, the bloodlines of the Qilin and human often conflict. Even if people know Ganyu's status, they may find it hard to link the secretary of Yuehai Pavilion with the girl who quietly enjoys her breakfast at the dock at dawn.

As the secretary of Yuehai Pavilion, Ganyu undertakes many jobs that ordinary people cannot see. The data behind each resolution of Liyue, the excerpts and summaries of every new regulation are meticulously completed by Ganyu. At dawn each day, Ganyu would enjoy her breakfast at the dock. But before the sunrise, she would return to Yuehai Pavilion high atop Yujing Terrace, continuing to fulfill the contract she signed with the Geo Archon.

Ganyu's hobby is her work, as long as she is working, she feels happy. Her work is to follow the "contract" with the Lord of Geo, to seek the greatest welfare for most of the lives in Liyue. Compared to the Lord of Geo who has a panoramic view of the past and the present but is forced to give up his own life, she, with ordinary vision and ordinary responsibilities, is much more relaxed.

This is the driving force behind Ganyu's work, she works with a heart to live up to Liyue's prosperity where "all merchants gather, a thousand ships follow, a hundred goods emerge, all seas in view".

"I wonder Miss Ganyu, what brings you to our New Century Comic Shop today?" Takarou stood up, looking at Ganyu, he smiled.

"That... Excuse me, are you the Mr. Owner, Takarou, that Lady Ningguang mentioned?" Ganyu asked.

"Yes, I am." Takarou affirmed.

"I heard from Lady Ningguang last time that you can get rewards for reading comics at the New Century Comic Shop. Since I have some free time today, I thought I'd come and have a look."

"The comic books are all on the shelves. You can choose whatever you want to read, or you can let Noelle introduce them to you." Takarou said.

Now that Noelle was an employee in his comic shop, Takarou would naturally delegate some tasks to her. For instance, introducing the comic books to the customers, and explaining what kind of rewards they could potentially earn from the books.

"That would be very helpful, Miss Noelle."

Being her first time visiting the New Century Comic Shop, Ganyu wasn't familiar with how things worked there.

Noelle gave a slight smile and approached Ganyu.

"Miss Ganyu, please."

Next, Noelle guided Ganyu towards the comic bookshelf, introducing the various books to her.

Watching Ganyu, Takarou couldn't help but note that despite her being over three Hundred years old, she seemed quite shy. A person constantly busy with work. In her life, apart from work, there was only rest. After all, Ganyu was an Adepti. It was hard for her to blend into Liyue Harbor, and Ganyu herself didn't know how to blend into the crowd.

However, Takarou recalled that Ganyu seemed to be taking care of Yaoyao. He had hoped that Yaoyao would be part of the character selection pool when he first arrived in Teyvat, but was disappointed that she hadn't appeared even after his arrival. Nonetheless, now that he was in Teyvat, he was hopeful to meet Yaoyao someday.

With Noelle's guidance, Ganyu finally chose the "Pokemon" comic book. Ganyu sat down with the comic book in her hands, appreciating the stories within it at a leisurely pace.

Seeing Ganyu immersed in her comic book, Noelle went to prepare some beverages.

"Pokemon," too, was a comic book of adventure stories.

Ganyu wasn't particularly interested in adventures.

However, she did have a strong interest in the cute creatures found within Pokemon. After all, most people have a soft spot for adorable animals. After some time, Ganyu finally finished reading the comic book "Pokemon". She stood up, closed the comic book, and placed it back on the shelf.

"Mr. Owner," she started, "Thank you for your comic book. The Pokemon inside have piqued my interest; their appearance is very adorable."

"However... It's surprising that those creatures can live in harmony with humans..."

Be it humans or animals. As long as you treat them with sincerity, they will reciprocate with goodwill. Humans and animals, in some aspects, are somewhat similar. When someone is kind to them, they'll remember it deeply.

Take the Geo Archon, for example. Everyone knows what the Geo Archon did for Liyue. Therefore, they've always revered, appreciated, and thanked him. And the Liyue Qixing, they too are always busy working for Liyue's development. People naturally respect the Liyue Qixing.

"Geo Archon..."

Hearing this name, Ganyu's face fell even more.

"If you have time, you can sit in my shop for a while, and we can chat later," Takarou offered.

Takarou knew that ever since the news of the Geo Archon's demise, Ganyu had been distraught.

She used to come to Liyue Harbor as per her contract, assisting the Archon with Liyue's affairs. But now, with the Geo Archon gone, Ganyu seemed lost about her future. She was uncertain whether she should stay in Liyue Or whether she should return to Jueyun Karst to resume the life of a celestial being.

"I won't be a bother to you, Mr. Owner, will I?"

"Of course not. Now that you've finished reading 'Pokemon,' you can collect your reward."

(Customer Ganyu has finished reading 'Pokemon' and has received the reward: Alolan Vulpix.)

(Alolan Vulpix?) It's actually this?

Hearing Ganyu's reward, Takarou gave a slight smile. Alolan Vulpix, a creature resembling a fox. And Ganyu, she frequently corresponded with Inazuma's Miko, who herself resembled a fox.

What if one day, Miko saw that Ganyu had a fox of her own? Wouldn't that be a bit awkward Thinking about Ganyu and Miko's next meeting, Takarou found it amusing.

"Mr. Owner?" Ganyu was a bit puzzled when she saw Takarou suddenly laughing.

"Apologies, I just thought of something amusing. Here's your reward."

As he finished speaking, a flash of white light appeared, and a creature resembling a fox with six tails appeared in front of Ganyu.

"Eep~"

Upon appearing, the Alolan Vulpix, with its snowy white appearance, looked incredibly adorable! Seeing such a cute creature, Ganyu's eyes lit up.

"Eep~"

Alolan Vulpix noticed Ganyu, and then directly hopped into Ganyu's arms, nuzzling its head against her. Seeing this creature be so affectionate with her, Ganyu couldn't help but think back to Miko when she was a kid. Back then, Miko was also a fox and very close to her.

________

"Its name is Alolan Vulpix, it also has ice attributes." Takarou watched Alolan Vulpix in Ganyu's arms, he gave a slight smile, then explained.

"Alolan Vulpix?"

Ganyu looked and discovered that this creature, similar to a fox, indeed had six tails.

But its name, is it too simple?

Was it named according to its name?

"Mr. Owner, from what you're saying, are there six-tailed creatures of other attributes apart from Alolan Vulpix?"

"Exactly, if Vulpix evolves differently, its evolved form will also be different."

'There's also a Fire attributes Vulpix it evolve into Fire Ninetales and this Alolan Vulpix you've obtained is ice attributes , as long as it's well trained, will also continue to evolve.'

"In the end, it will evolve into Ice Ninetales."

"While Alolan Vulpix is of ice attribute, if you want to train it, you need to prepare Ice Mist Flowers for it. Moreover, Alolan Vulpix also loves snowy mountains."

"You can take it to play on Dragonspine Mountain, it will be very happy."

"Dragonspine Mountain, Ice Mist Flower, thank you for informing me, Mr. Owner, I understand." Ganyu nodded, thanking Takarou.

At this moment, Noelle had also prepared the drinks.

"Boss, Miss Ganyu, please." Noelle placed a cup of drink in front of both Takarou and Ganyu.

"I...I don't need it." Seeing Noelle's enthusiasm, Ganyu hurriedly shook her head.

Honestly, she really didn't know how to interact with people.

'It's fine, Ganyu, this is Noelle's intention, you should give it a try.' Takarou smiled.

Hearing Mr. Owner's words, Ganyu nodded.

"Well... Okay." Afterwards, Ganyu lifted the cup and took a sip.

"Hmm??" After taking a sip, Ganyu found that the taste of the drink was somewhat off. It was slightly bitter, and it tasted very similar to Qingxin.

"This is a Qingxin drink I had Noelle prepare especially."

Seeing Ganyu's surprise, Takarou explained.

"Qingxin?"

"Mr. Owner, how did you know I like Qingxin?"

To know, she and Takarou had never met before, and this was the first time they met, yet Takarou understood what she liked.

This greatly surprised Ganyu.

"Actually, it was my guess."

Takarou smiled, he couldn't possibly tell Ganyu that he'd played Genshin Impact, right?

"You are a celestial from Jueyun Karst, and the specialty of Jueyun Karst is naturally Qingxin. And celestials usually do not eat the food of mortals, if you want to taste something in Jueyun Karst, Qingxin is naturally indispensable."

"I see."

"Miss Noelle, thank you for preparing this Qingxin drink, I really like it."

"No... it's nothing, it's all ordered by the boss." Upon hearing Ganyu's words of thanks, Noelle quickly shook her head shyly.

'Ganyu, how about we sit down and chat?' Takarou left the counter and invited Ganyu to sit.

Upon hearing Mr. Owner's invitation, Ganyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Ever since she learned of the news of Morax's death, She has been unable to settle down to work peacefully. Every time she looked out the window, she would recall the moment of Morax's death.

So, she wanted to go out for a walk, to clear her mind. However, she was somewhat lost about her future path and did not know where she should go. And now, her only place to return to was Jueyun Karst.

"When you came in, I saw you looked troubled."

"Ganyu, are you feeling very lost about Morax's death and your own future?"

"Mr. Owner, you're... not wrong, I am indeed very lost right now."

Ganyu was confused, she didn't understand how Takarou knew her inner thoughts.

"Actually, whether it's you or the people of Liyue, the news of Morax's sudden death is perplexing to all."

"After all, Morax had been protecting Liyue all this time and all the people of Liyue, they admired Morax.'

"But then, one day, Morax was killed, and it happened during the Exuvia Ritual, anyone would feel panic and confusion."

"You can say, many people in Liyue Harbor are now scared and grieving."

"However, don't forget, the prosperity of Liyue has a lot to do with Morax."

"But the prosperity of Liyue Harbor has a lot to do with every single person in Liyue Harbor too. Since Morax established Liyue, you've been here in Liyue Harbor, helping him develop Liyue. And in this, your contribution is the greatest. Next are the seven stars of Liyue. If I may say, even if Liyue lost its seven stars, even if it lost Morax, Liyue cannot lose you."

Ever since she took up the secretary's position, Ganyu has been handling all matters, big and small, of Liyue. If someone else were to handle it, they wouldn't be as fast or as good as Ganyu.

"Mr. Owner, I.. I am not as important as you say." Upon hearing these words, Ganyu quickly shook her head.

She believed that what she has done is not as perfect as Mr. Owner said. She still has many shortcomings.

"I know, Morax has disappeared now, and you're very lost about your future."

"Actually, why not take a walk on the streets of Liyue Harbor and see the people there?" takarou suggestion.

"Although they are still in brief grief, I believe that before long, those people will return to their original selves, and they will continue to live as they used to."

"But... even though I've been in Liyue Harbor for many years, the things around Liyue Harbor are still very unfamiliar to me. To me, Liyue Harbor is not my home." Ganyu shook her head.

"In that case, why don't I accompany you on a walk around the streets of Liyue?" Takarou stood up, inviting Ganyu.

"Mr. Owner wants to accompany me?"

"But.."

'There's no but, some things are better experienced firsthand.' Takarou interrupted Ganyu's words, then without a word, took her hand.

"I..." Ganyu was somewhat startled when Takarou suddenly grabbed her hand. She struggled a bit, but couldn't break free.

Seeing Takarou's sincere gaze, Ganyu had to silently let Takarou hold her hand. However... she didn't dare to look ahead, she could only keep her head down.

"Miss Ganyu, please."

"Mr. Owner, then... thank you."

"It's no trouble."

After giving a brief instruction to Noelle, Takarou left the New Century Comic Shop with Ganyu.

As soon as Takarou and Ganyu stepped out of the New Century Comic Shop, the clamor of the street rang out.

"See, I told you right? Even though Liyue lost Morax, people still live their lives as they used to. Respect and admiration for the Exuvia can be kept in their hearts. Although Liyue Harbor is now very prosperous, but... people won't just stop here. Ganyu, have you thought about this, even though Liyue Harbor is so prosperous, there are many places in Liyue that are not as prosperous as Liyue Harbor. If the whole of Liyue could be as prosperous as Liyue Harbor, don't you think that's what Morax would've wanted to see?" Takarou give words of encouragement to ganyu.
