As they took a breath of the Prosperous air of Liyue, they began looking at the surroundings with joy.

They noticed the stalls selling items, elegantly built buildings and ships docking in and out from the harbor.

They said their goodbyes to Beidou and the rest of the Crew, and headed off into the scenery ahead. They went to the inn Kazuha was staying at and began to leave their luggage there.

They then went to Chihu Rock to get their Breakfast by visiting Wanmnin resteraunt. After they had arrived, a familiar friendly voice greeted them.

"Kazuha!!" A girl spoke.

Kazuha looked around trying to figure out who it was. Heizou pointed at a girl who was waving at them and asked, "Do you know her?"

It was Xiangling. Xiangling ran over to the two and greeted them.

X: "Hello! What are you doing here,
      Kazuha?"

K: "Xiangling! It's nice to see you. We're
      here to get some food."

X: "I see... Here, take a seat! I'll prepare
      your food! What would you like?"

K: "A plate of Dry-Braised Salted Fish.
      Heizou what would you like?"

H: "Hm... I've heard good things about
      Liyue Harbor's Golden Shrimp
      Balls.... I'll have that."

X: "Coming Up!"

Xiangling began to prepare the food. An enticing aroma began to surround the atmosphere. Xiangling then looked back and asked Kazuha who the gentleman beside him was.

Heizou coughed and began introducing himself.

"The name's Shikanoin Heizou, sharpest and most successful detective of the Tenryou Commission."

Xiangling smiled and introduced herself aswell.

"Hello! My name is Xiangling! I'm a chef from Liyue! My favorite place is the chicken- err... I mean kitchen. Hehe..."

Heizou paused and looked at Kazuha, wanting to ask if it's okay to say that he was his boyfriend. Kazuha understood the meaning his eyes spoke and nodded.

As Heizou opened his mouth trying to say the words, Kazuha said it for him. "He's... my boyfriend." Xiangling then reduced the flame and stopped moving.

Suddenly, She turned back at them with excitement, Turning the flame up to the maximum.

"He's your boyf-"
"ohmygod..."

Xiangling covered her mouth with her hands but couldn't contain herself.

"Eeeek! How cute!~"

Heizou and Kazuha blushed out of embarrassment. Kazuha then suggested to change the topic by telling Xiangling about the smoke. Soon, Kazuha yelled, "Xiangling! The food's burning!"

Xiangling frantically turned the gas off. Fortunately, The food was not burnt. After she added her personal touch to the food, it was served.

They began to devour the delicacy, tasting its rich flavor. Kazuha and Heizou's eyes widened, as they both said, "So... Good!" Subconsciously.

Xiangling laughed in pride. They then began to chat. "Where's Chef Mao Been?"
Kazuha asked. Xiangling replied, "Oh... dad's enjoying his hiatus."

Heizou looked at Kazuha's handsome and charming face while he was talking. He looked even cuter while eating.

After a while of chatting, Heizou ordered 2 plates-worth of Golden Shrimp Balls for takeaway so that he and Kazuha could enjoy them at the inn. Suddenly, a powerful yet familiar feeling could be felt by Kazuha, as though he was in the presence of a powerful political figure.

His Intuition was correct. He saw a dignified woman with elegant purple hair. It was Keqing, The Yuheng Of the Liyue Qixing. Keqing walked towards Xiangling and asked her if she had finished the special lunch for her.

Xiangling nodded happily and handed over the box. Keqing then thanked her and looked back, seeing Kazuha. She greeted him sincerely. She noticed the Maroon-haired gentleman standing beside him and asked if Kazuha knew him.

Kazuha introduced him to her.

Several minutes later...

"He's your boyfriend?... That's nice... Beidou must be proud and happy." Keqing teased. Kazuha waved his hands and brushed it off. Kazuha then asked what she was doing here.

Keqing told him everything. "I asked Xiangling to prepare lunch for me since she is the most talented chef I know. I was supervising the construction of Liyue City and looking after such a big project and helping it gets tiring."

"Say... were you two heading to the construction site?" Keqing asked.

Kazuha nodded yes.

Keqing offered, "If you want, you can come with me and enter the site instead of observing it from the outside. Even though it's restricted for citizens to enter, I could let you and your boyfriend in. We're friends after all..."

Kazuha agreed but offered to help as a thanks. Keqing agreed to it. They then headed towards the North of Liyue Harbor to the construction site.
