Ningguang ultimately softened.
But who was Keqing? She was the Yuheng of the Seven Stars, a workaholic, a relentless striver, a career-driven woman!
Besides, who doesn't have parents?
While Keqing's parents couldn't assist with her career, they were always willing to offer guidance and support to their daughter.
Such opportunities were rare!
The next day, Keqing had adjusted her mindset and gradually returned to her work at the General Affairs Bureau.
Lin Ze, full of energy, left the villa as well.
With nothing pressing to do, he decided to visit a teahouse for a relaxing afternoon.
He also planned to listen to Old Ironmouth's storytelling.
While he was at it, Lin Ze opened his Diary System.
I wonder how Ganyu is doing right now.
Well, every challenge can be overcome. Wait a minute...
[Kirara.jpg]
Look what I found! A wandering cat!
Isn't Inazuma under lockdown? How did Kirara get to Liyue?
Is Komaniya that powerful? Did they establish international operations even during Inazuma's isolation?
How did she cross the thunderous seas? Did she hitch a ride on Beidou's ship?
Just as Lin Ze was about to use the System to send Ganyu some encouraging words, his attention was suddenly drawn to two tails.
A genuine Catgirl!
Lin Ze had been in Teyvat for several days, and this was the first time he'd seen one!
Unlike Diona, who was of mixed heritage, this was a true youkai in human form.
"Hmm?"
Kirara, who was following a map to find the General Affairs Bureau, suddenly paused.
She began studying the angle of the photograph in the Diary Replica with renewed focus.
Quickly, Kirara pinpointed the direction and turned her head.
The crowd was dense, and she couldn't immediately lock onto her target.
Perhaps it was because her two tails were too eye-catching.
In that direction, Lin Ze wasn't the only one observing her.
Everyone was curious about the origins of this two-tailed girl.
Was she a youkai? A celestial being? Or perhaps... someone with a special lineage from Mondstadt?
Lin Ze had changed his clothes, making it impossible for Kirara to identify him by his attire.
Liyue was full of wealthy people, and many dressed lavishly.
Scratching her head, Kirara decided to focus on finding the General Affairs Bureau first.
She pulled out her map again and resumed studying it.
The map was quite detailed, but the only problem was that Kirara couldn't find her current location.
Has Kirara encountered the biggest setback of her career?
She came to Liyue but can't find the recipient?
This is getting interesting. She was looking for me earlier, so it's confirmed that the little kitty has a Diary Replica.
Lin Ze deliberately wrote this in the Diary System, indulging his mischievous side.
He eagerly anticipated Kirara's reaction when she saw the entry. After all, he had directly called her "little kitty"!
However, contrary to his expectations, Kirara showed no reaction whatsoever.
She had seen the entry, but she didn't care at all.
Everything written was true. She had indeed encountered the biggest setback of her career.
Not being able to find her location on the map was a real problem!
As for Lin Ze calling her "little kitty"?
Kirara found it perfectly normal. She *was* a little kitty, after all!
Even if a cat cultivated enough to grow two tails, it would still be a cat!
"I should just ask someone for directions," she decided after staring at the map for a long time. Kirara resolved to rely on her social skills and ask for help.
While she was at it, she might as well try to find Lin Ze.
With this thought in mind, Kirara headed in the direction where Lin Ze was likely to be.
After carefully observing her surroundings, she noticed several people were watching her.
She decided to approach the most handsome one.
"Hello, young man! I'm a delivery courier from Komaniya. I have a package that needs to be delivered to the General Affairs Bureau.
But this is my first time in Liyue, and I've gotten a bit lost.
Could you tell me how to get to the General Affairs Bureau?"
Kirara wasn't sure if she had found Lin Ze, but she wasn't worried about her safety.
Not only did she possess a Vision, but she was also a youkai.
The Millelith soldiers patrolling the streets gave her a strong sense of security.
Besides, she was heading to the General Affairs Bureau. Even if this wasn't Lin Ze, she would only have to wait a little longer to see him.
"The General Affairs Bureau is quite a distance from here. I'll take you there myself."
Lin Ze was surprised that Kirara had found him so quickly.
But judging by her expression, she clearly didn't recognize him.
*Isn't this amusing?*
"Thank you so much, young man! You're such a kind person."
"Oh, right, I still don't know your name, young man."
Having given Lin Ze a "good person" card, Kirara began to probe.
Was this random person she'd picked out actually Lin Ze?
Lin Ze had never revealed his appearance in the Diary Replica.
She could only choose the one she found most handsome.
But what if Lin Ze's actual appearance was utterly unremarkable?
"Me? Just call me 'Great Good Person.'
Doing good deeds without seeking recognition, you know? There's a saying in Liyue: 'Good deeds bring good fortune.' I'm just accumulating virtue."
Lin Ze chuckled, refusing to reveal his real name to the little cat girl.
Exposing himself now would spoil the fun.
He was determined to keep his name and identity hidden, refusing to tell Kirara he was Lin Ze.
He eagerly anticipated the expression on her face when she finally realized he was Lin Ze.
"Then I'll keep calling you 'Great Good Person.'"
Since Lin Ze wouldn't tell her, Kirara didn't press the matter. She simply followed his lead and struck up a casual conversation, mainly asking about fun things to do in Liyue Harbor and any interesting recent events.
Though she had achieved cultivation and could transform into a human form, Kirara's continued discomfort with shoes—and her deliberate retention of her feline paws—revealed that she still retained much of her cat-like nature.
Cats are naturally playful, and Kirara's curiosity about Lin Ze quickly faded from her mind. She didn't even notice that the Diary Replica hadn't been updated.
*Maybe Lin Ze has already left?* she thought. *I should deliver this package first, then have some fun in Liyue Harbor.*
Liyue Harbor was far more bustling and vibrant than Inazuma City. You'd never see so many people or such lively scenes in Inazuma City.
Lin Ze answered every question Kirara asked, which only made her more certain that he wasn't the Lin Ze she knew.
"Kirara, look—that's the General Affairs Bureau. The delivery area is over there; just head straight over."
"This package is for the Tianquan Star herself. I'm here at the General Affairs Bureau to find a way to get to the Jade Chamber. Thank you, you're a lifesaver! I need to get going now, but I'll definitely thank you properly if we meet again."
