Amber told the story of how she met Hiroshi over breakfast at the Good Hunter restaurant.
When she said that Hiroshi's shop was at the deepest part of the commercial district, and it had a "Pokémon Home" sign on the front, Lisa, who had just delivered hot coffee, was confused.
Jean, who stayed up all night to review the dragon disaster reconstruction plan, rubbed her eyebrows and thought carefully for a long time before saying:
"Do we have such a store in Mondstadt?"
Kaeya spread his hands and smiled bitterly.
"I often go to that street, and the Angel's Share tavern is nearby."
"But... maybe it's because I've been busy with official duties recently, so I go less often?"
"So you didn't find out about Mr. Hiroshi's new store?"
Jean took a heavy breath. The matter of the Dragon Calamity and Dvalin has not yet been completely resolved. Now, there is another strange person with an unknown purpose and a strange shop that appeared out of thin air.
"So what? You went in, and what did you find?"
Hearing this, Kaeya and Amber looked at each other.
"Acting Grand Master, this is the device called the 'Pokédex' that I reported yesterday."
Amber handed over the smartphone-like device she got from the store.
"This is free for every customer."
"After registration and certification..."
"I drew an initial Pokémon..."
Um?!
Jean was looking through the Pokédex and marveled at the beautiful appearance and sleek technical design. Her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the detailed biological data.
"How much Mora did you spend?"
"Also, since you are already a customer, have you joined the so-called 'Customer Group Chat'?"
In Amber's report yesterday, the group chat was a part that Jean was very concerned about.
Because the voice messages greeting the Travelers that came out of the group chat were all from terrifyingly big names. The Tianquan Ningguang, the Yuheng Keqing... at this moment, there is even a "Childe" who is the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui!
Amber's face turned red. "I joined."
She hesitantly unlocked the Pokédex and opened the group chat interface.
Even though it was early in the morning, new voice messages kept buzzing.
When the voice button was clicked, Jean and Lisa looked strange. They suddenly understood why Amber, the always sassy and capable Outrider, was showing coyness and shyness.
Hu Tao: Amber, this newcomer, is really an innocent girl. She was so easily deceived into taking photos and revealing her measurements... Hehe!
Xiangling: Hey, hey! I finally have a partner in the group chat! @Outrider_Amber, sisters unite! But we are not afraid. If we pass on this "excellent tradition" of deceiving newcomers, there will be more and more sisters among us!
Tartaglia: Interesting. @Amber @Kaeya, hello to you two from the Mondstadt area. Has the branch of Mr. Hiroshi's shop opened in Mondstadt?
Ningguang: No wonder my God-brother suddenly closed his shop in Liyue. He is expanding his empire.
Keqing: I passed by the store just now and wanted to talk to Manager Hiroshi about the follow-up cultivation plan for Ralts... When I got to the door, I suddenly remembered that the store was closed!
Listening to these voice messages, Jean and Lisa could hear a bit of their respective personalities from their tone of voice.
Especially Ningguang; when sending voice messages, she occasionally included a sentence or two to give instructions to the secretary next to her about Liyue's governance.
As for Keqing, the background sound was simply the bustling city of Liyue Harbor.
So far.
Jean and Lisa no longer had any doubts about the authenticity of the "Pokédex" and its connection to Liyue's elite.
From the group chat interface, Jean switched to the Pokédex entry.
The Pokémon Amber drew was a Swablu, which cost her Three Million Mora.
Pointing to the blue bird with wings like balls of white cotton on the screen, Amber did not hide her joy and excitement.
"Manager Hiroshi said that Swablu are easy to cultivate and do not consume too many resources."
"After evolving into Altaria, it becomes a rare Flying + Dragon type Pokémon..."
"More importantly, even if I don't use my Wind Glider in the future, I can ride on the back of Altaria and patrol every piece of land in the Mondstadt area!"
Good guy!
Amber's eyes lit up when she described her heroic appearance when she went out to perform reconnaissance missions in the future.
A Reconnaissance Knight driving a flying Dragon-type Pokémon?
Amber, who is already excellent and can complete various reconnaissance missions, will be even more efficient. The monsters and Hilichurls' nightmare is coming.
"Kaeya, what about you?" Jean asked, turning to the Cavalry Captain.
Unexpectedly, Kaeya waved his hand. "Stop talking, acting Grand Master. I will go home and get the money first, and so will you, Amber. Don't keep Manager Hiroshi waiting for a long time."
"Oh, yes!"
"Only after the account is settled can I get my baby Swablu!"
Amber, who was anxious to finalize the adoption, followed Kaeya and rushed out of the office to gather funds.
Good Hunter Restaurant.
Hiroshi didn't expect that going out to have breakfast at the Good Hunter would be so productive. He met Amber and Kaeya by chance, and then essentially completed two orders early in the morning.
The limited-time operation task he received just last night had now reached 2/10.
But only when the two of them bring the Mora will they truly be counted as safe sales.
As for the reason for going to the Good Hunter for breakfast, it's hard to understand for a non-gamer. This trip is considered a pilgrimage.
The Good Hunter is one of the top gourmet restaurants in Mondstadt, and you must visit it to check it out. In the game, the Traveler and Paimon were obsessed with the Sticky Honey Roast.
Hiroshi had eaten it just now and said it was very good. If he accidentally opened the SR Purple Cooking Skill Card later, he would secretly learn the recipe and eat it until he vomited every day.
"Next, it's time to consider how to advertise."
"Should we use Amber and Kaeya as a breakthrough point? Let them drag their colleagues with them, and bring the entire Knights of Favonius?"
While Hiroshi was planning the time-limited mission, there was a jingle at the door of his shop.
Ding-dong!
The store door was pushed open by a group of customers!
The leaders, Amber and Kaeya, walked straight to the counter after entering and slapped the Mora deposit slips on the table.
Then in unison:
"I want to take the Pokémon baby home!"
Hiroshi's eyes fell behind them, and his mood was very subtle. He counted the characters of the Knights of Favonius who followed Amber and Kaeya one by one.
"Acting Grand Master Jean."
"Librarian Lisa."
"The Dutiful Maid Noelle."
"The Nun Rosaria..."
Now, there are six people. If this business is completed, the task progress will be 60% instantly.
Hiroshi's smile was brighter than ever.
No need to fight for advertising. The Knights of Favonius have come directly to my door for a large group purchase!
"Welcome to the Knights of Favonius."
He nodded politely, then turned around and shouted to the back of the store.
"Cresselia, take four blank Pokédexes out here."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Whoosh!
On the shelf, four Pokédex devices wrapped in pink telekinetic energy floated out of their positions. They crossed the entire store and hovered in mid-air at the front desk, waiting to be grabbed.
Hiroshi motioned to the knights, who watched with different expressions of shock and curiosity, to take one for themselves.
"Whatever color case you like, please feel free."
"Registration and certification are also very simple."
After saying that, Hiroshi accepted the two deposit receipts from Amber and Kaeya. He smiled at the two who were looking forward to their partners.
"Please wait a moment while I take out the babies for the two guests first."
