"Speaking of which, aren't we going with Seele?" After Seele left, Takagi looked at Natasha curiously.
"I'm a bit concerned about the Mutual Aid Society mentioned earlier. Also, I want to go see the patients who used the special medicine. If possible, I plan to use the Light Cone you gave me to heal them—to prevent what happened to Jennifer from happening again. Takagi, can you come with me to take a look?" Natasha asked.
Takagi: "The Mutual Aid Society... No problem."
Natasha: "Thank you."
After getting Takagi's response, Natasha quickly finished dealing with the matters in the clinic. Then, she took Takagi and left the clinic together. With the relevant information provided by Jennifer, Takagi and Natasha smoothly resolved the issues of the other patients who had used the special medicine along the way. At the same time, they also found the organization selling the medicine and dealt with the remaining stock. This process made Takagi feel as if he had accompanied Natasha on a companion quest in the real world.
...
"...So, Vache, who invented the special medicine, is your older brother," Takagi said as he followed Natasha forward.
"Yes, the older brother I once admired. It's just that he went down the wrong path and invented these medicines with side effects. Thank you, Takagi, for giving me the power to heal them. This way, I can finally lessen Vache's sins a little," Natasha said gratefully.
"Yes, I think the Mutual Aid Society won't be selling those unqualified medicines anymore. Also, please don't carry Vache's sins on your own shoulders. You've already done enough for everyone in the Underworld. Be careful not to wear yourself out." Takagi patted Natasha's shoulder, comforting her.
"Thank you." Natasha stopped, looked up at Takagi, and smiled: "If it were before, I might worry about wearing myself out. But now, with the Light Cone you gave me, I think I shouldn't be. I hope so."
Takagi shrugged and looked straight ahead. "Speaking of which, why are you staring at me like that?"
"Although it might be inappropriate to say this, but... can you run the clinic with me? No, don't misunderstand; I just think with your medical skills, we can work together." Natasha rubbed her hands together, looking at Takagi expectantly.
"Working at your clinic? That might be a good job. But unfortunately, I already have a job I like. So I can only say sorry to you, Natasha," Takagi shook his head.
"I see..." Natasha pursed her lips. "Then will you leave the Underworld in the future?"
Although she hadn't known Takagi for long, she inexplicably felt that he wasn't the kind of person who would stay in the Underworld. Perhaps he was an influential figure from the Overworld. Otherwise, as the leader of Wildfire, she would have no reason to have no impression of him, or of Jean and Lumine, especially the mysterious flying creature Paimon. However, she understood that Takagi's arrival was not bad for the Underworld.
"I will," Takagi nodded. "But as I said before, I should also come to the Underworld from time to time to take a look."
"I understand," Natasha nodded slightly, suddenly stopping. Turning around, she looked at Takagi with a smile. "So, at least before you leave... let me give you a hug of gratitude."
Natasha stepped forward and tightly hugged Takagi around the waist, resting her head against his chest. Takagi was stunned for two seconds, then also smiled and placed his hand on Natasha's back.
"Hmm? What is this?" Suddenly, Takagi looked at the private message from Lumine that popped up in front of him and muttered softly.
"What's wrong, Takagi?" Natasha asked.
Takagi: "Something came up with my friend; I need to go over there."
Natasha: "Is it urgent? Or should we go to Gertie's hotel now?"
Takagi: "We're already at the warehouse; let's hand over the supplies to you first."
Natasha: "Alright, if you say so."
Takagi quickened his pace toward the warehouse, his eyes fixed on the Teyvat Forum panel.
[Lumine: Takagi, do you know Cocolia?]
[Takagi: Cocolia, the Supreme Guardian of Belobog. Lumine, where did you hear that name?]
[Lumine: I had a dream, and I dreamed of her.]
[Takagi: A dream?]
[Lumine: Yes, and I also saw her talking to someone named the Stellaron. Although it was a dream and I forgot a lot of the content, I feel this is not a simple dream.]
[Takagi: This is interesting.]
[Lumine: Interesting?]
[Takagi: Yes! Lumine, your guess is correct; this is indeed not a simple dream. I'll be back soon, and I'll explain it to you then.]
[Lumine: Okay, I'll wait for you.]
Takagi closed the panel and looked at the sky of the Underworld with interest. 'Lumine can actually see Cocolia's past, just like the Trailblazer. It seems the Traveler's physique is also quite special. With a physique like this, it would be unreasonable not to embark on a Path,' Takagi thought.
...
Goethe Grand Hotel. Jean, Lumine, Klee, Barbara, Paimon, and others were gathered in a room.
"So, you saw people you didn't know and heard words in your dream?" Paimon looked at Lumine and asked curiously.
Lumine: "That's right."
Jean: "Will there be any danger?"
Lumine: "I've already messaged Takagi privately, and he said he'll be here soon."
Barbara: "Since Mr. Takagi said so, then we can rest assured."
Paimon: "So, are we just going to wait like this?"
Lumine: "What else?"
Paimon: "It's just that many people have messaged me asking to watch Barbara repair the Holy Lyre der Himmel."
Lumine: "Barbara probably still needs to rest, right?"
Barbara: "Well... I actually feel like I've recovered quite a bit." Barbara looked at the lyre in her hands, her face showing an eager expression.
"Then, how about I start the live stream now?" Paimon moved closer to Barbara.
"Yes, let's do it now." Barbara nodded firmly.
Paimon reopened her live stream. Before long, a large number of Teyvat people flooded in.
[Tighnari: Oh, is Paimon live streaming again? I shouldn't have missed anything, right?]
[Cyno: It looks like Barbara is planning to repair the Holy Lyre der Himmel.]
[Tighnari: That's great news. It's better to witness such a significant moment.]
[Alhaitham: If Barbara can truly heal the lyre with the power of Abundance, then it will be even more meaningful to the Teyvat people.]
[Vacher: There's no need to even think about it; Barbara will definitely be able to repair the lyre!]
[Navia: Vacher is really invested in this.]
[Scaramouche: Start already; I'm getting impatient.]
[Rosaria: Fatui people, just wait patiently.]
"Barbara, are you really ready?" Jean asked.
"Yes, I'm ready. I can't sleep now anyway," Barbara said with certainty.
Barbara took a deep breath and lifted the Holy Lyre der Himmel. Soon, the entire artifact was surrounded by emerald green light.
Slowly, under the gaze of the Teyvat people, the damaged lyre began to show signs of being repaired. As time passed, the cracks vanished. By the time the light dissipated, the Holy Lyre der Himmel had been completely restored.
[Vacher: I knew it!]
[Zhongli: With the power of mortals, an item of a god has been repaired! This scene will surely be recorded.]
[Alhaitham: I wonder if the Anemo Archon will feel relieved seeing this scene.]
[Venti: Probably, yes, ehe.]
[Furina: It actually succeeded... mortals healing a divine artifact. Could it be that in the future, mortals will become even more powerful than gods?]
[Nahida: That possibility might not be zero.]
