This older person naturally refers to Morax. Although Morax is the oldest Archon in this world, this does not mean he is stuffy.
On the contrary, Morax actually likes innovative children, it's just that Hu Tao is a bit... well, *too* innovative.
Her erratic thinking always leaves him dumbfounded, but in a sense, Morax's own thoughts are quite erratic too.
After all, no one would think of holding a concert, especially a rock concert, in a funeral parlor.
The thought of Morax earnestly inviting Xinyan to hold a concert at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor made Shiki's expression turn strange.
"What's wrong?" Ayaka asked curiously, noticing the strange look on the girl's face.
"Nothing, I just recalled the consultant who loves sending bills."
Shiki shook her head, then continued gazing at the moon in the sky.
Bathed in moonlight, Ayaka looked at the girl's flawless profile, momentarily stunned.
The gorgeous white Furisode Kimono enveloped the girl's slender figure. She realized that while the girl looked beautiful in her Modified Kimono, the classical beauty of this traditional kimono suited her better.
Hmm, thighs and classical beauty cannot coexist, so alternating between them is perfect.
"Sure enough, Shiki looks better in traditional kimono."
"Is that so?" Shiki chuckled upon hearing this, then retorted, "Who was it who said there was no need for me to wear Modified Kimono?"
Unexpectedly, Ayaka replied earnestly:
"That's why I think Shiki should alternate, changing outfits every now and then. For example, those Furisodes you wore when modeling for Ogura Textiles."
"Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter—the four seasons evolving on your person. Doesn't that sound very poetic?"
"No, that's too much trouble."
Shiki immediately refused upon hearing this. She only wore a few sets of clothes normally.
One set of long-sleeved kimonos brought from Earth, one set of modified kimonos, and two sets of plain kimonos for convenience.
Now you're telling her you want to add four more sets, isn't that a hassle?
"Oh, just wear it!"
Ayaka reached out and grabbed Shiki's soft hand, swaying it back and forth. No one would have expected that the dignified Young Miss of the Kamisato Clan would actually act spoiled towards someone else.
This was something unimaginable before, but who made someone so domineeringly sever the shackles on her?
"Even if you say that, I won't wear it..."
Shiki said, glancing away. She couldn't stand Ayaka's expressive eyes.
"..."
Her hand was still swaying. Shiki couldn't help but glance towards the girl, and her teary-eyed expression came into view.
"..."
"Alright, alright, I'll wear it, okay?"
"Yay!" Ayaka excitedly raised her hands.
"Sigh..."
Seeing this, Shiki sighed helplessly. She had been completely won over by the girl.
The next day, 10 AM...
At Ayaka's urging, Shiki put on a long-sleeved kimono named "Spring." Her neat short hair was coiled at the back of her head with Ayaka's hairpin.
Although her hair length hadn't changed, she looked much softer overall.
"As expected of Ryougi, she looks good in anything!"
"Would I be wearing this if it weren't for you? Those few outfits were already enough. You just had to add these four sets," Shiki said, annoyed.
"Oh, but it looks good, doesn't it?"
"This outfit is like a dessert; you can't always eat the same thing, right?"
Ayaka smiled sweetly. At this moment, she had also changed out of her original skirt armor and put on a white long-sleeved kimono.
This was what she usually wore when practicing kendo. After all, they were going to Liyue for a festival, so there was no need to dress so formally.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm truly defeated by you..."
Shiki was speechless. She could only take Ayaka's small hand and walk to the Waypoint in front of Kamisato Estate, then teleported to Liyue.
It was still a noisy environment, but Shiki had gotten used to it after her night tour yesterday. It was Ayaka who felt a bit shocked.
Complex red buildings rose from the ground, a huge ramp led to the sea, and above the ramp was an aerial wooden bridge.
And such wooden bridges were everywhere in Liyue Harbor; this one was just the largest among them.
Although these buildings were not as tall as Tenshukaku, there were many of them, and they were interconnected like works of art, looking much more impressive than the single-story houses in Inazuma.
"Is this... Liyue?"
Ayaka's small mouth was slightly agape. She finally understood the difference between Inazuma City and Liyue Harbor.
"Are you feeling shocked? Precisely because of this, I want to... never mind, now is not the time to discuss this," Shiki shook her head.
"Let's go, we'll go to Yujing Terrace first to meet Liyue's Adepti."
"Adepti?"
Goodness, they're meeting important figures right from the start!
But she heard that Liyue's Adepti were all various immortal beasts, so what kind of Adepti would they meet later?
With this thought, Ayaka followed Shiki to Yujing Terrace.
They had to go to Lotus Pond first, pass Bubu Pharmacy, and then climb a long flight of stairs to reach Yujing Terrace.
If they were in Inazuma, Shiki would have just carried Ayaka and flown over.
However, this was Liyue. Whether it was out of respect for the rulers of other nations or to maintain her persona, Shiki chose to walk on foot.
Passersby on the street were slightly curious about the two Inazuman Young Misss who suddenly appeared, but they merely stopped to observe for a moment before continuing with their own business.
In this bustling harbor, everyone had something they needed to do.
For some, it was responsibility; for others, it was for money.
It was like a journey; you could stop for a moment for the scenery along the way, but you couldn't stay here forever, because you would eventually go home.
From this Waypoint on the north side of Liyue Harbor to Yujing Terrace, it would take about half an hour.
The two formed a unique scenic line on the street, making people willingly stop for a moment, and at the same time, giving rise to a thought in people's minds.
That is, are all Inazuman girls so beautiful?
Meanwhile, on the other side of Liyue Harbor...
"Mmm~ It really has to be Wanmin Restaurant! Chef Mao's Boiled Black-Back Perch is just too delicious!" Paimon patted his little belly, looking satisfied.
"Hehe, you flatter me, you flatter me," Chef Mao said with a smile.
"After we eat, let's set off! Guoba is back too, he's doing somersaults at the entrance!" Xiangling said.
Guoba: "Lululu~~~"
