A fateful encounter led them down a different path.

******

One day later...

"..."

The white rabbit boy with dark circles under his eyes hadn't slept all night either.

He couldn't sleep at all.

Whenever I close my eyes, all I see in my mind is that dazzling, approachable, and incredibly gentle (?) smiling face.

Lingering.

You should know that since stepping into the gates of Orario, the boy has endured far too many cold shoulders these past few days.

The initial elation and fearlessness have long been worn down by the harsh reality.

But it was that person... because they had made eye contact, the boy was certain that she was genuinely paying attention to him.

There was no contempt, no ridicule.

With a touch of goodwill.

I should have been the one to thank them, but it was the other person who approached me first.

She seemed to have forgotten who she was.

"That's true. 'Heroes' save many people, how can they all be remembered?"

The boy comforted himself in this way.

But... the day before yesterday, it was that very 'hero' who saved the entire continent who said he was 'interesting'.

"emmmm~"

The boy was unsure of his exact feelings at that moment.

I just felt a little lightheaded...

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Hello~"

My thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a loud knock on the door.

The boy, who had calmed down a bit, quickly got out of bed and went to open the door.

The innkeeper stood at the door.

"Today is the fourth day. If you want to extend your stay, the cost for another three days will be 2,500 fali."

"Ugh?"

The boy was stunned when he heard the price.

Because, even according to the original price the shop owner mentioned, it should only be 2,400 fares.

After all, the price in big cities is 800 fiat for a night's lodging (in my opinion).

Why……

What are you staring at?

The shop owner acted as if it were perfectly normal, saying, "You initially said you wanted to stay for three days. If you want to extend your stay now, it means there's one less room that could have been reserved for other guests... The extra cost is the handling fee."

"..."

The naive boy, after putting himself in the shop owner's shoes, realized that the other person's words made sense.

Yes, I'm the one who caused trouble for the shop owner.

He didn't think much about himself.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he took out his money pouch and handed over almost all of Fali.

"Thank you, I'll stay for three more days."

"..."

Now it was the shop owner's turn to fall silent.

But the boy didn't look at the other person's expression.

He quickly changed his clothes and hurried out the door.

because……

"We have no money left for food."

"We must find a 'family' to join as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, we'll be sleeping on the streets in three days."

Anxious and running out quickly, the boy didn't notice the subsequent change in the shop owner's expression.

Its name is: Self-condemnation of conscience.

******

That morning.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

At the entrance of the Deankaite Familia's residence, Amid, dressed in a white dress with light pink accents, greeted the blonde, golden-eyed girl who had been waiting by the street for some time.

As she slowly approached...

"Uh, Miss Amid, is this your 'casual clothes'?"

"Yes, I was wearing this outfit when I was preparing the potion."

The silver-haired, purple-eyed beauty asked with a hint of doubt, "Is something wrong?"

"..."

So, it's still work clothes.

Ying felt she shouldn't worry too much about these things, so she changed the subject, "Are you sure you're not busy today?"

"Yes, I worked overtime yesterday and planned out all the things I need to do today in advance."

"Cough cough~"

For some reason, the silly girl felt a pang of heartache when she saw Miss Amide say these words so calmly.

"Well, anyway, just do as I say today."

Ying raised her hand and patted her chest, saying confidently, "I've rented a kitchen in advance. No need for breakfast, just enjoy my cooking."

"Please take care of me for the rest of the day."

"Yes, please guide me."

A hopeful smile appeared on Amid's face.

Chapter 211 Amid's Conditions

As is well known, the rating of "Development Ability" is generally very difficult to improve.

For example, Rivera, who was born into the Elf royal family... This 'strongest mage in the city' has been an adventurer for decades, but her highest-level development ability, 'magic,' is only 'e'.

Currently, Ying's 'Cooking' rank is 'h', which is the second rank from low to high among the ten ranks from 'i' to 's'.

This corresponds exactly to the 'one-star' category of Genshin Impact cuisine.

Of course, compared to the original 'i' rank, Luminous has now advanced a rank because of her cooking ability, and can easily make Genshin Impact dishes with the 'delicious' prefix.

That is: the kind of 'glowing dish' that is more effective and seems to have added special effects.

However, at present, only two categories of dishes can be made in Genshin Impact: 'Resurrection Dishes' and 'Recovery Dishes'.

Furthermore, the former, which has the characteristic of 'external binding', only has seven dishes, and to this day, most of them have already been used.

Fortunately, once Luminous raises her cooking ability to the 'g' rank, she will be able to unlock 'two-star' Genshin Impact dishes.

At that time, all sorts of "monkey show cornerstones" that boost attack, defense, critical hits, and critical damage will be able to make their debut.

today……

"Is this the special dish that Miss Tione and the others have mentioned so many times?"

"It's so easy to make... and it takes so little time!"

"As long as there are enough materials, it could even be mass-produced?"

When Ying brought Amid to the small kitchen she had rented in advance, and demonstrated the unique cooking methods of the "Teyvat Chef King" that were comparable to alchemy in front of this "Battlefield Saintess," the latter, who had made countless potions in the past, couldn't help but show a surprised expression on her face, even though she had been warned in advance by Tione and others who were not present.

Her eyes widened slightly, her amethyst-like pupils suddenly contracted, and coupled with her earnest observation and attitude... it truly possessed a unique beauty.

Seeing this...

"Try it."

Ying smiled and gestured, "Although it's not advisable to eat too much meat at breakfast, my 'glowing dishes' are special in nature, so I have no worries about that at all."

She sounded so confident...

"Alright, I'll start eating now."

Amed very modestly took a small bite of each dish.

This includes Teyvat Omelet, Grilled Pork Ribs, Okra, and Sweet Shrimp Sushi, all of which have already used up their 'external resurrection effect binding qualification'.

As for the remaining three one-star resurrection dishes, namely 'Stir-fried Meat Slices, Mondstadt Grilled Fish, and Mora Meat', Ying chose to keep them.

Not long after...

"!"

You could tell just by the joy that unconsciously appeared on Amide's face... Every dish, even those that didn't quite suit her personal taste, was exquisite and incredibly delicious.

The silver-haired girl began to slowly savor the memory.

a long time……
