Time passed, and several days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Just before the Lantern Festival, Liyue Harbor welcomed two familiar old friends.

Ying and Paimon, who just returned from Inazuma, have tiredness written all over their faces. After a long journey and countless tasks, both of them feel exhausted both physically and mentally.

"I just want to have a good sleep now..." Paimon yawned slightly. Even she was exhausted now.

"I'm just too tired."

She sighed, "Who would have thought that Inazuma would have so many tiring tasks, stepping on the sand... Tsurukan... Oh my God! It feels like several months have passed."

"This is also part of the journey." Ying also felt very tired, but her mental state was better. The moment she returned to Liyue Harbor, she felt that her energy was slowly recovering. This might be the feeling of being home.

"Yeah!" Paimon nodded his head and regained some enthusiasm: "We are finally back, let's go to the Adventurer's Association to rest!"

"The beds at the Liyue Harbor Adventurer's Guild are pretty comfortable to sleep in!"

Her eyes were filled with anticipation: "Hehe~ Maybe I can meet Feng Luo and the others. I wonder how they are doing now that they came back early. They must be doing better than us!"

"I have to find a way to get him a meal!"

Just thinking about Feng Luo's cooking skills, Paimeng's saliva was almost drooling. After Feng Luo returned to Liyue, the food standards of the two of them suddenly plummeted!

Originally, we ate delicious food and drank spicy drinks every day. Even if the adventure was difficult, at least there was some hope in life.

But after Feng Luo was gone, Paimeng felt that every day was no different from eating grass. The food in Inazuma was already very poor. Thanks to Ying's ability to teleport, she would always save some strength to teleport to Haizhi Island every time, which could barely solve Paimeng's gluttony problem.

They had teleported to Narukami Island before, and after eating a meal of so-called oden, they never went there again...

The smell is really unbearable!

Now that he has finally returned to Liyue Harbor, Paimon has decided to have a big meal!

"This is my little Paimon's cafeteria and playground!"

Facing the bustling port, Paimon couldn't help but make a loud declaration, and then he was grabbed by Ying and carried away: "Alright, alright, stop embarrassing yourself, let's go quickly, or we'll be late for lunch."

The two walked on the streets of Liyue Harbor, which they had not seen for a long time.

“There are a lot more people here!”

Paimon looked around curiously: "Are you all here for the Lantern Festival?"

"That should be the case. Otherwise, there is no other reason."

Although Ying noticed it, she didn't take it too seriously.

"Aren't we here for the Lantern Festival?"

The two chatted as they walked to the Adventurer's Association.

“It’s much more lively here than before!”

Paimon looked at the crowd surrounding the Liyue Harbor Adventurer's Guild in amazement.

"So many Liyue people are willing to become adventurers? It's really booming!"

"No, it's not like they were adventurers. They weren't wearing adventurer clothes."

Ying fell into deep thought: "And they gathered in a group, more like they were just watching the fun or something?"

"Is there nothing exciting to see in the Adventurer's Guild?"

Paimon scratched his head, then flew over curiously: "Let's go see what happened!"

So the two of them came to the outskirts of the crowd and slowly began to look for gaps to squeeze in.

As we all know, when you want to squeeze into the crowd, it is very easy because most people don’t want to stand in the first row, so when they see someone trying to squeeze in, they will make way for them, just like in class, no one will rush to sit in the first row.

So Ying and Paimeng came to the front smoothly, and then the scene in front of them made them open their eyes wide.

"One, one bucket?"

Paimon couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, because the person who was surrounded at the center at this moment was a tall man named Aradaki Ichito, with two red devil horns on his head, messy white hair draped over his shoulders, and dressed as a warrior!

He had a sack on his shoulder, which made some clanking sounds, as if it was filled with a lot of things. Jiuqi Shinobu was standing next to him, and the two were handing over a mission to Miss Catherine from the Adventurer's Association.

"Eh? I think I heard my friends' voices!" Aratake Ichito turned around and saw Paimon and Ying, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Aren't these my best friends! You're here too!"

"Long time no see, Ying, Paimon."

Kuki Shinobu also greeted the two of them.

It was at this time that the onlookers realized that the people who came were Ying and Paimon. In the previous defense of Liyue Harbor, Ying's heroic performance had already been spread throughout Liyue Harbor by the Thousand Rocks Army, so now everyone regards Ying as a hero.

"Our hero is back!"

"I heard that she went to Inazuma before, and then Inazuma's isolation order was lifted!"

"This is amazing! You are worthy of being our hero!"

"Ying! Ying!"

Waves of cheers rang out, making Ying feel a little embarrassed.

"So you're so famous here!"

Arata Ichito was a little surprised, and then his eyes lit up with fighting spirit again: "In that case, after I finish handing over the mission here, fight me! I also want to make a name for myself in Liyue Harbor!"

"Let's talk about this later. We haven't had a good rest yet. So you are handing over the task?"

Paimon quickly jumped out to stop him.

The street is almost congested, we can't let the two of them compete here, otherwise they will be taken away by the Qianyan Army!

That would not be good, we might even miss the Lantern Festival!

However, who would have thought that Aratake Ichito would become an adventurer? With his personality, Paimon thought he would be a laborer at the docks moving goods!

"Of course I am a glorious adventurer now!"

Arata Ichito smiled triumphantly, revealing a row of neat, white teeth.

"Soon, my name will spread across the entire continent! As the strongest adventurer!"

"Oh! You look very motivated, Ichito!"

Paimon's middle school spirit was also ignited, and he crossed his arms across his chest, looking like a master Paimon.

"But... becoming the strongest adventurer is not necessarily a guarantee! Ying is still here! What's more, there is Feng Luo!"

"Hehe! Then just wait and see, I am not just an ordinary guy!"

Aratake Ichito and Paimon both laughed at “Hehehehehehehe”.

Ying and Jiuqi Shinobu both had frowns on their faces.

"Um, Boss, did you forget that we are still handing in the mission?"

Jiuqi couldn't help but remind.

"Oh yes, help us finish these tasks quickly!"

Aratake Ichito took the sack and poured it onto the counter.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

A large number of various materials were piled up on the counter to form a small hill!

"Wow!"

Paimon's eyes widened.
