Chapter 307

The cries of vendors rose and fell in succession.

The people of Liyue looked on.

They discovered that there were actually many foreigners here.

For instance, from Fontaine.

There were even people from Sumeru.

However, it seemed the celebration had only just begun, with many soldiers still decorating lanterns and setting up various advertisements.

As for those who wished to become merchants,

or those who wanted to set up stalls here,

they could all register with the soldiers stationed nearby.

They only needed to pay a portion of money.

Then they could open their stalls.

It was considered a very conscientious place.

Time passed minute by minute.

More and more people joined the celebration.

Along with the flow of the crowd,

two figures slowly descended from the train.

"Look... isn't this lively? But... Su Han really is something; why didn't he hold such a great idea in Liyue and Inazuma..."

"That way, we wouldn't have to take such a detour."

Hearing his friend's complaint,

Zhongli smiled calmly: "Inazuma indeed has many problems recently; Su Han likely thought of this plan at the last moment, so don't worry too much..."

"Besides, a celebration is the same wherever it is held."

"As long as one is happy, that is enough..."

Originally, he had been staying in Liyue to listen to opera.

Yet unexpectedly, an hour ago,

Venti came before him and invited him to join the celebration without giving him a chance to refuse.

Thinking that he hadn't visited Inazuma in a long time,

Zhongli decided to stretch his limbs.

Thus, the two boarded the train.

And arrived in Inazuma.

Indeed, it was extremely lively here.

The two wandered around; after all, Zhongli did not carry any money.

Whatever caught his eye,

Venti beside him would naturally pay for it.

However, as Zhongli bought more and more,

Venti simply made an excuse and ran off at full speed.

"Phew... this Morax is still the same as before, never carrying Mora; if I continue playing with him, my money will surely be gone within a few hours..."

"Forget it, I'll find him again in a few days."

The celebration would last for a week.

So, Venti certainly did not want his wallet drained on the very first day.

"Oh my... I never expected to find so many delicious treats here; if I'd known, I would have come straight away regardless of the thunderstorm."

Venti held a slice of chocolate cake in his left hand.

In his right hand was a cup of milk tea.

He was having an absolute blast.

Meanwhile, under the banner of the festival, Inazuma had also begun other activities.

By now, it was already afternoon.

The number of tourists continued to grow.

Sales of pastries were doubling.

Because BIG·MOM was notoriously picky about desserts, the items she collected were invariably of the highest quality.

Even the slightest flaw in flavor was unacceptable.

Thus, the people of Teyvat currently present.

Were naturally tasting the finest goods available.

Just as Venti was enjoying himself, a large crowd gathered in grand procession at the Yae Publishing House stall for a speech.

With the lifting of the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree.

The books recorded by Yae Miko were officially put on sale.

Currently, the two hottest titles.

Were the story of Luffy!

And that one called Naruto!

Right next to Yae Publishing House.

Was the recruitment center for ninjas, alongside the enlistment point for Inazuma's soldiers.

As long as one had a clean background.

Possessed potential, and was willing to dedicate oneself to Inazuma.

Then one could join either of these two organizations.

"Everyone look... this Armament Haki within Conqueror's Haki; some always thought the power of Armament Haki was fake... well, now you can see for yourselves!"

Whoosh.

That soldier.

Had his arm turn black.

A nearby soldier swung a blade with force toward him.

There was only a dull thud.

The man was unharmed.

But the sword snapped.

The power of Armament Haki.

How terrifying it truly was.

Subsequently, the soldiers also demonstrated the power of Observation Haki.

After glancing twice, Venti suddenly understood everything.

This so-called Haki.

Was simply the training method of the Knights of Favonius.

Indeed, some members of his own Knights of Favonius used this cultivation style, a grueling path that nonetheless led to strength.

On the other side, the ninjas.

Were performing under the leadership of Kukuchi Shinobu.

"One can wield elemental energy even without a Vision; witness this technique... Lightning Release: Chidori..."

"Water Release: Water Wall!"

Two ninjas sparred on the ring.

Their movements were incredibly swift.

Those flashy ninja arts opened the eyes of both locals from Inazuma and foreigners alike.

Just as Venti was watching with delight.

A sigh came from beside him.

He turned to look and saw a man squatting on the ground, drawing circles with a face full of despair.

"Eh... Little brother, what's wrong with you?"

Venti is a kind god.

Such a joyful celebration.

Yet someone wore an expression of sorrow.

Naturally, he wanted to help the other person.

Hearing someone comfort him, Gorou raised his head and sighed again... for he didn't know how to explain it either.

At that moment, a loud voice came from nearby.

"Cough, cough... Brothers, we are Miss Hina's fan club! We cannot disturb the celebration..."

"Think about how understanding Miss Hina is; it won't do for her to be troubled on our account now..."

"Well said!!!"

The happier the people became,

the more withdrawn Gorou's expression grew.

That group of fans stood before Hina's signboard, solemnly vowing to protect Miss Hina.

Listening to them made him feel dizzy and disoriented.

Because... because that Miss Hina was actually himself!

That detestable Yae Miko had turned him into a woman.

She was simply a demon.

No, even demons weren't as terrifying as her.

Alas, Gorou was no match for her...

Venti glanced at the signboard behind, then looked at Gorou, finally wearing an expression of sudden realization.

"Little brother, could it be that you..."

"Shh... I am like this, but I truly have no way out... I'm desperate..."

Gorou guessed the other had noticed the resemblance between the poster and himself.

So he hurriedly stopped him.

As a result, the great Anemo Archon, Barbatos, misunderstood.

He thought the other wanted to become a beautiful, understanding older sister.

"It's fine, it's fine... I won't expose you. By the way... since I'm so happy to be in Inazuma, why not grant you a wish? Although this spell only lasts one day."

"But... you should be very happy, right?"

"What?"

Gorou listened, utterly bewildered.

How strange this person spoke.

Seeing Venti squat down and pat Gorou's shoulder, he said: "Don't worry, little brother... since we've met, we are friends! Having such a hobby isn't really a problem.

Let me help you...

Even if it's just once, I'm willing to fulfill your wish. Enjoy the rest of the day..."

A gentle emerald light.

Following Venti's hand, it surged into Gorou's body.

The other party still didn't know what was happening.

But the next second, a shocking scream erupted behind him.

"Oh my... Miss Hina has appeared!!!!"

"What? It really is Miss Hina..."

"Why is Miss Hina squatting on the ground!!!"

"Who dares bully Miss Hina..."

Gorou turned around, watching the figures rushing over in a rush.

His heart immediately froze with fear.

What Miss Hina? I am not!!

He stood up and instinctively protested: "I am not Miss Hina.... You have the wrong person..."

But after the words left his mouth.

Not only did they lack his usual male tone.

Instead, they were a soft, delicate voice.

This shocked Gorou immensely.

He looked down at his body; where his chest had been flat, it was now bulging.

What on earth happened!

However, the scene that followed.

Was beyond Gorou's imagination.

Seeing his panicked look, that group automatically stopped in their tracks.

Some even stepped in front to shield her.

"Everyone, don't scare Sister Hina!!!"

"Look what you've done... You've terrified Miss Hina!!!"

"Today Miss Hina came secretly to watch our fan club, don't mess this up..."

Accompanied by angry shouts.

Everyone gradually came to their senses.

Subsequently, order was directly restored.

Even the leader went so far as to flash a sycophantic smile at Gorou.

"Miss Xina, is there anything you would like to command? We are ready to serve you directly..."

Looking at that disgusting smile,

Gorou nearly threw up.

However, just as he was about to tell everyone to leave, a thought floated through his mind.

So many free laborers.

Why not make use of them?

And promote Watatsumi Island along the way?

Thinking this,

Gorou cleared his throat lightly and said, "Please do not be so fanatical. If you truly wish to help me, then simply purchase more products from Watatsumi Island.

Help us spread the word..."

"What? Watatsumi Island is Miss Xina's hometown? I'll buy everything until it explodes!!!"

"Buy, buy, buy! Don't stop..."

"Did you hear? Miss Xina wants to promote Watatsumi Island..."

With a rush, over a hundred people sprang into action.

The intensity of it.

Was incomparably stronger than if Gorou had promoted it himself.

Especially when other support groups heard Gorou's words, they also joined in one after another.

Consequently, the stall for Watatsumi Island was instantly crushed by the crowd!

Inside a pavilion in the distance,

Yae Miko, witnessing everything, laughed until she shook with mirth.

"Hahahaha... This Anemo Archon fits my tastes perfectly. I never expected Gorou to accept his other identity.

Hmm, not bad...

He has great potential for development.

Look... this is the advantage of being a woman...

This young man is quite good.

I approve..."
