Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Although they were very happy to reunite with their good brother, they spoke very little along the way.

They passed through Konda Village and the White Fox Wilds, where the population was sparse. Not even old ladies were chatting along the way. Thomas saw Xinyang's confusion and explained, "Inazuma isn't as peaceful as Mondstadt and Liyue. The shogunate army and the rebels are still fighting. Young people either join the army or go to Inazuma Castle to make a living. Naturally, the population here is sparse. Once you get to Inazuma Castle, it's very prosperous."

When they arrived at Inazuma City, it was indeed bustling with people as Thomas had said. Seeing Xinyang's tattered clothes, Thomas felt embarrassed. He patted Xinyang on the shoulder and said, "There are too many people here. Let's go around through the side road. You follow me closely."

Both of them were very skilled. They climbed over the outer wall of Inazuma Castle, jumped onto the roof, and moved around on the roof.

They soon arrived at the Mulou Teahouse. Xinyang followed Thomas downstairs. The guard at the door of the teahouse was already used to this and opened the door for Thomas and the others without saying much.

As soon as he entered the door, Thomas greeted Taromaru, the dog of the owner of the Mulou Tea House, Kamisato Ayaka, "Hi! Taromaru, I'm back."

Taromaru: "Woof, woof woof~~"

On the surface, the Mokuro Tea House is just an ordinary tea house, but in fact it is the base of the Sha Bugyo, one of the Three Bugyo of Inazuma, in Inazuma Castle.

After entering the teahouse, Thomas took Xinyang to the innermost room. "This is my territory. When I first came to Inazuma, I felt uncomfortable with Inazuma's clothes. There are clean new clothes of mine in the closet inside. Pick one to change into. Have some tea first. It's getting late today. I'll go out to buy some food later. Let's make do with this for now. I'll take you out for a big meal tomorrow."

Xinyang stopped Thomas who was about to go out and said, "Don't bother. I see there are kitchen utensils here. Let me show you my cooking skills today."

"Hey, you're a guest, how can you let others cook? You just arrived at Inazuma, so I won't trouble you with these little things." Thomas walked quickly to the door.

"Don't you want to try some home-cooked food? I used to cook at the Deer Hunter Restaurant in Mondstadt. If you don't want to eat it, just pretend I never said anything." Xinyang took out a bucket of dandelion wine he had received from the angel's gift and deliberately made a loud noise, playing hard to get. "It's a pity that my dandelion wine is gone. I brought it all the way here, and someone can't drink it."

As expected, Thomas retracted his foot after hearing this. He turned around and was surprised to see a large barrel of wine. "You can actually bring dandelion wine to Inazuma and even work as a chef at the Deer Hunter Restaurant. How come I didn't realize you were so amazing before? Just for this barrel of wine, I want to test your cooking skills."

The two smiled knowingly. Xinyang went into the house and quickly picked out a nice piece of clothing to change into. When she came out, Thomas had already prepared the kitchen utensils.

Looking at the ingredients in front of him, Xin Yang already had an idea of ​​what dishes to cook. There were several classic hard dishes, "Sweet Flower Stuffed Chicken", "Pan-fried Pork with Honey Sauce Carrots", "Wind God Stew", "Radish and Vegetable Soup", as well as the cold dish "Cold Meat Platter", and the staple food "Mond Potato Pancakes", a standard four dishes and one soup.

After finishing his work, Thomas couldn't hold back any longer, but he still tried to hold back his saliva and complained, "Oh, why did Xinyang make so much? How can the two of us finish it? What if there are leftovers?"

Xinyang rolled her eyes at Thomas's drooling mouth and said, "We haven't seen each other for such a long time. Let's have fun and do more today. We won't leave until we're drunk tonight."

At the dinner table, Xinyang and Thomas chatted about everything, from Inazuma's policy to interesting things in life, from Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore, from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the fact that pasta should be mixed with No. 42 concrete.

After three rounds of drinks, Xinyang keenly sensed that there was someone outside the house. He raised his head and saw the person outside pushing the door open a crack. Their eyes met, and the scene was as awkward as it could be. Thomas saw that Xinyang did not answer and just looked outside the door. He turned around and looked back and found someone peeking at him. The alcohol took effect at that time, so he stood up and opened the door.

"Who doesn't want it..." When he saw a handsome man with blue hair and a white suit outside the door, Thomas immediately came to his senses and lowered his head, "Master of the family." The man outside the door quietly gestured to interrupt Thomas.

The man walked into the house and greeted Xinyang, "Hello, I'm Thomas's friend. I'm sorry for disturbing you just now. I hope you don't mind."

Seeing that the visitor was Kamisato Ayato, the current head of the Kamisato family, Xinyang, as a community leader, immediately stood up to say that it was no problem. He stepped forward and shook Kamisato Ayato's gloves, almost saying, "Hello, Thomas is my brother, and his friends are my friends. Let's get to know each other. My name is Xinyang."

"That's true. I'm Kamisato Ayato."

Xinyang pretended to be surprised and said, "Kamito, could it be that you are from the Kamisato family, one of the three magistrates of Inazuma? I have heard a lot about you."

Xin Yang pulled out a chair on one side and said, "Have you eaten yet? If you don't mind us sitting down, let's have a simple meal together."

Ayato didn't refuse and sat down as Xinyang asked. "Then I'll obey your order. Hey, these dishes don't look like Inazuma dishes, do they?"

Xinyang pulled Thomas to sit down and said with a smile, "Good eyesight, this is indeed not Inazuma food. I am originally from Liyue. About a year ago, I went to Mondstadt and met Thomas, but not long after that, Thomas came to Inazuma. I just came to Inazuma today too. When I met Thomas, I thought of making some hometown dishes and reminiscing with Thomas. If it's not to your taste, we can go out and buy some local food." With that, Xinyang was about to go out.

Ayato quickly stood up to stop Xinyang. "No need. I'm not hungry right now. Besides, I've always heard Thomas praising his friend's cooking skills. I think it must be you. I've always wanted to try some exotic food. Don't bother."

Xinyang looked at Thomas and thought: I hadn't become a chef when you left. This brother-in-law is really a smart guy.

"No, no, I just help cook some dishes at home. It would be great if Mr. Ayato doesn't mind. I happened to cook too much today, so let's have a simple meal together. In fact, Liyue cuisine is my specialty. I'll treat you to Liyue cuisine next time."

Ayato was also very happy. "Then I will wait for your good news. Calling me sir is too formal. If you don't mind, just call me Ayato."

Thomas, who was standing by, watched the two of them chatting happily and felt like he was the outsider.
