"Eat slower, don't choke. No one's going to snatch it from you."
"How many days have they been starving? They're about to eat the plates too..."
Inside a restaurant, the clatter of dishes echoed.
Watching Venti and Azhdaha wolfing down their food, Makoto couldn't help but sigh.
The Little Cuties beside them were also dumbfounded.
They hadn't expected these two to eat so much.
The big brother in green clothes, who called himself a Bard, held a wine bottle and guzzled down many bottles of wine in one go.
It was no exaggeration to say he drank wine like water.
As for the other big brother wearing glasses,
He looked refined, but he ate so, so much.
The stacked plates alone were almost as tall as the Xiao Jiahuo.
Was that brother's stomach a bottomless pit?
Why could he eat so much?
These two together were truly two extremes.
One could drink an exceptional amount, and the other could eat an exceptional amount.
"Finally, we're alive again."
After an unknown amount of time, with a sigh from Venti and Azhdaha, they both leaned back in their chairs, thoroughly satisfied.
Venti looked up at Mr. Faxun, his tone filled with gratitude: "Mr. Faxun, it's thanks to meeting you today."
"Otherwise, I don't know when I would have been able to drink wine again."
"Ehe, thank you! I'm going to write the great story of you rescuing a Bard into a song!"
Azhdaha also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Faxun, if we hadn't met you, we would still be starving right now."
Because they didn't have a single Mora on them, their lives had been very tight.
It was Mr. Faxun's arrival that solved these problems.
In the eyes of Venti and Azhdaha, Mr. Faxun was not family, but better than family.
They had to find a way to cling to him.
Looking at the two gluttons in front of him, Mr. Faxun said helplessly: "It's fine, as long as you're full."
He seemed to remember something and added: "Oh right, don't eat too much. Moderate exercise promotes digestion, so you'll still have room for dinner tonight."
After all, today was the last day of the festival, and there would be a grand fireworks display tonight.
Mr. Faxun was thinking of using this rare opportunity to gather everyone for a meal.
Anyway, for him, eating didn't cost Mora and he could even earn Mora, so why not?
At these words, Venti and Azhdaha's eyes lit up instantly.
The two of them looked very excited.
"Mr. Faxun means he's inviting us to dinner tonight? That's wonderful!"
"Listen to me, thank you, because of you..."
Venti sang while making a heart shape with his fingers at Mr. Faxun.
Looking at these two clowns in front of him, Mr. Faxun's expression was a bit complex.
He seemed to have made the wrong choice.
He shouldn't have taught Venti these flashy things.
He shouldn't have invited these two idiots to eat.
After this, Mr. Faxun entrusted the Little Cuties to Raiden Makoto's care.
He himself walked out the door, intending to find Morax.
Currently, Morax was accompanying Guizhong as they admired the scenery within Inazuma City.
The restaurant Mr. Faxun chose had a good location; just by standing upstairs, one could take in the bustling Inazuma.
One could see the lively streets without even going outside.
Hearing Mr. Faxun's footsteps, Guizhong and Morax also withdrew their gazes.
Guizhong greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Faxun, hello!"
Facing Mr. Faxun, Guizhong's heart was always filled with gratitude.
After all, it was Mr. Faxun who gave her a second life.
If it hadn't been for Mr. Faxun's help back then, she wouldn't have been able to stay by Morax's side.
At this moment, the intelligent Guizhong immediately saw that Mr. Faxun had something to say.
She directly said: "Mr. Faxun, is there something you need from us? Please speak freely."
"As long as it's within our capabilities, we won't hesitate."
Morax nodded, indicating his agreement.
Because over the years, the constant passing of old friends had caused Morax to suffer deeply from erode.
And Mr. Faxun was the one who helped him fight against erode.
By all accounts, Morax would do everything in his power to help Mr. Faxun.
Seeing their reply, Mr. Faxun got straight to the point: "Mr. Morax, you have a way to contact Xiao, right?"
"What I mean is, arrange for Xiao to rest for a day and let him come to Inazuma to see the fireworks display."
Mr. Faxun's idea was simple: to gather everyone together for tonight's fireworks display.
He first thought of Ganyu and Xiao, who were in Liyue.
Mr. Faxun wasn't worried about Ganyu's side.
Because according to Yae Miko, Ganyu had completed her overtime task at the Listening Rain Pavilion.
She was already on her way to Inazuma by ship and would arrive at the Port before the fireworks display began.
At that time, Mr. Faxun could just go to the Port to pick up Ganyu.
It was just Xiao's side that was more difficult.
Because with Xiao's personality, he definitely wouldn't come to Inazuma, as he had to protect Liyue's safety and wasn't accustomed to crowded environments.
Unless... it was an order from Morax.
In Xiao's heart, Morax's words still held great weight.
After hearing Mr. Faxun's idea, Morax's golden eyes were thoughtful.
He was considering whether Xiao's departure would affect Liyue's public order.
After some deliberation, Morax slowly said: "Mr. Faxun, I understand."
"I will inform Xiao of this matter, but as for whether he will accept the invitation, I cannot make a guarantee."
Hearing Morax's reply, Mr. Faxun smiled and said: "I believe Xiao will definitely come."
Mr. Faxun looked up at the sky and murmured softly: "That guy, although he looks cold and unapproachable on the outside,"
"In reality, his heart still has warmth; I can feel it."
