NOVEL NEXT Chapter 212: Chapter 212
Barbara had her own vehicle, so she didn't travel with Amber.
Amber was driving a car that was originally purchased by Grand Master Jean.
She had also been assigned one.
This time, she arrived in her own car.
She had become quite a skilled driver.
However, what she really wanted was Barbara's motorcycle.
It was said to have been specially given to her by Takumi.
It was equipped with numerous weapons.
Amber had once seen Barbara use it to attack a Hilichurl camp.
It was truly impressive.
The Qianyan Army stationed nearby saw Barbara's motorcycle approaching.
Upon seeing it, they didn't even bother checking Amber's documents.
Instead, they simply stepped aside.
"You can go right in."
Amber was stunned.
They weren't going to check her identification?
Although filled with curiosity, she didn't question it further.
She simply drove her car inside.
Barbara followed closely behind.
Upon arriving at the General Affairs Department's parking lot, they saw the neatly arranged parking spaces.
Barbara also spotted Takumi's car.
There were also other cars of the same type.
Did they belong to someone else?
Seeing this, Barbara parked her motorcycle alongside them.
After securing their vehicles, the three of them proceeded inside.
"This should be the place, right?"
Amber looked at the building before them, speaking with a hint of uncertainty.
Hearing her, Noelle and Barbara exchanged glances.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
At that moment, a young receptionist noticed the unfamiliar visitors and approached them curiously.
Hearing the question, Amber quickly responded.
"Hello!"
"We're from Mondstadt."
"We're here to meet Mr. Takumi."
"Is he available?"
She looked at the receptionist nervously.
Hearing this, the receptionist glanced at the trio.
"You're looking for Lord Takumi?"
"He's inside. You can go right in."
"Just ask the staff inside, and they will guide you to Takumi's office."
With that, the receptionist walked away.
After she left, the trio didn't hesitate and headed inside.
Upon entering, they were immediately impressed.
The doors of every office were open.
Inside, people were busy on their phones, making calls and discussing matters.
The entire place was bustling with activity.
Some people glanced at the newcomers as they passed but quickly returned to their work.
Amber quickly approached a passerby to ask for directions.
"Excuse me, where is Takumi's office?"
Hearing Amber's question, a woman looked up at them.
Then she pointed toward an office in the middle of the hallway.
"That one in the center."
"Lord Takumi is inside."
After saying that, she continued on her way without looking back.
Now knowing where to go, the trio hurried toward the office.
Upon reaching the door, Barbara peeked inside.
She saw Takumi working at his desk.
Without hesitation, she knocked on the door.
"Brother Takumi~!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Takumi looked up.
Seeing Barbara, he put down his work and said:
"You're here."
"Come in."
He got up and walked toward the coffee table.
The three entered the office.
Noelle greeted Takumi politely.
"Mr. Takumi, sorry for the sudden visit."
"Mr. Takumi, we meet again."
Amber also greeted him.
Takumi smiled at their politeness.
"It's fine."
"Have a seat."
"I'll make some tea for you."
Takumi got busy preparing tea.
Seeing this, Noelle immediately stepped forward to assist him.
Takumi, already familiar with Noelle's helpful nature, wasn't surprised.
Noelle was always considerate.
To be honest, Takumi sometimes wanted to ask Noelle if she'd consider coming to Liyue to serve as the Geo Archon.
After all, Morax had retired.
Perhaps it was time for a new leader.
Today, Noelle was dressed in casual clothing rather than her usual maid uniform from Mondstadt.
She still looked adorable.
Once the tea was ready, Noelle quickly offered to help.
"Let me handle it, Lord Takumi."
Takumi smiled and handed her the teapot.
Then, he took out his phone and said:
"I'll call Klee over."
With that, he dialed Klee's number.
Noelle paused for a moment, then chuckled.
She carefully poured tea for Barbara and Amber.
At that moment, both Barbara and Amber felt as though Noelle was the true owner of the office.
It was impressive.
She had only just arrived, yet she had taken charge so naturally.
Noelle was amazing.
After finishing the phone call, Takumi sat down.
"Klee will be here soon."
"Are you three here for Mondstadt's warehouse?"
Hearing Takumi's question, the three nodded.
"Yes!"
"Grand Master Jean sent us to handle the warehouse matters."
"We'll be staying here until the warehouse is fully operational."
"Once that happens, the Grand Master will send replacements to take over."
Amber explained their mission.
After she finished, Noelle added:
"Grand Master Jean also asked me to look after Klee."
"So I'll be here for a while as well."
Her role was different.
Amber was in charge of the warehouse, while Noelle was responsible for keeping an eye on Klee.
After all, Grand Master Jean was always concerned about Klee's mischief.
So she had sent Noelle to take care of her.
Albedo was also in Liyue.
However, he was usually preoccupied with his research.
There was no way Albedo or Sucrose, two dedicated researchers, could manage Klee's energetic nature.
Hearing this, Takumi was slightly surprised.
But he didn't dwell on it.
"No problem."
"You can stay at my manor for now."
"Once your tasks are done, you can head back."
"What about you, Barbara?"
"Did you have a mission here as well?"
Amber and Noelle had official tasks.
But what about Barbara?
Hearing Takumi's question, Barbara looked a bit embarrassed.
"I came to play."
Yes, Barbara had come purely for leisure.
She had no assignments.
When she learned that Noelle and Amber were coming to Liyue, she immediately asked to join them.
She wanted to explore Liyue and experience the culture.
Hearing her answer, Takumi was momentarily speechless.
After a brief thought, an idea struck him.
Barbara!
She could debut in Liyue and become an idol, helping to bridge Mondstadt and Liyue through music!
