Meanwhile, several people arrived at the Moonlit Pavilion on Yujing Terrace. They saw Ganyu standing alone, with one of Ningguang's secretaries by her side.
"This is how it should be. Hurry up and get it done. The Lantern Rite is fast approaching; there's no room for delay," Ganyu said softly.
The secretary quickly replied, "Understood. I'll get right on it." With that, she left. Ganyu turned her head and saw the group approaching, a hint of surprise appearing on her face.
"Why are you all here? Is there something you need?" Ganyu's face showed some fatigue. With the Lantern Rite nearing, her workload had become significantly more complex, and her body was more worn out. It was impossible to say she wasn't tired.
"Sister Ganyu! Didn't Yaoyao tell you last time that you don't need to work so hard? Why are you still like this? Fine, I can't convince you. I've dried some Qingxin leaves here, so take them back and make some tea. Oh, and Lotus Seed buns too, take those as well."
Looking at Yaoyao's solicitousness, Ganyu felt a little embarrassed. It was always her being cared for, even though she was the elder sister. What was she supposed to do?
"These two look like they've swapped roles. Shouldn't Ganyu be taking care of Yaoyao normally? How has it become the other way around?" Paimon's comment made Ganyu even more mortified. She placed her hands behind her back, fidgeting quickly, trying to release her inner pressure. Her head drooped slightly, her face etched with embarrassment.
"Paimon! I'm sorry, Ganyu. This little one just likes to speak her mind. Don't mind her if she says something wrong. This emergency food is too talkative." Lumine hit Paimon on the head with her hand. It wasn't a hard hit, but how could the Oscar-worthy Paimon miss such an opportunity?
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts... Traveler, you've changed! From today onwards, you've been so caring towards me, and now you dare to hit me... Have you lost your feelings for me? Traveler! Has some other floaty creature stolen my throne, and you no longer dote on me?"
Lu Ze, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh. Paimon was truly a comedian. If someone didn't know better, they'd think this was a major breakup scene.
"I... I... Paimon! Stop talking nonsense, don't say such things outside, it's so embarrassing! If you don't shut up, your three Sweet Flower Wine Ham will be gone!"
Threatened with her beloved food, Paimon immediately covered her mouth with both hands, terrified of making a sound that would cost her the three Sweet Flower Wine Ham. This was a delicacy she had worked hard to obtain!
"That's more like it. If you don't talk, no one will think you're mute. Every time you say something surprising, you truly give me immense joy!" Lumine grabbed Paimon's head with both hands and ruffled it vigorously. In no time, Paimon's hair was a mess, and her clothes were disheveled.
"Traveler! Don't eat Paimon! Paimon doesn't taste good! Don't undress me, okay?" Lumine's toes felt like they could dig out a three-bedroom apartment. *Is this okay? This isn't good, is it? The way you're talking makes me sound like some kind of pervert!*
"Ahem, you two, that's enough. Know when to stop, alright? Paimon, are you channeling an Oscar-winning actor? Stop acting. We're here to talk about important matters. Dvorak is waiting here."
Dvorak, who had been spectating, was suddenly mentioned and completely taken aback. He had been enjoying the show and didn't want it to end.
"Oh right, alright, alright, Traveler, I won't mess around anymore. You don't mess around either, okay! Let go of my head, stop messing with my clothes!" Lumine was close to actually stripping Paimon, but that was Paimon's own doing for saying such things. The more she said she wouldn't, the more Lumine wanted to do it. Of her 200 jin of weight, 140 jin was pure defiance, and the remaining 60 jin was something else entirely.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's talk business. Ganyu, we need your help. The situation is this: this Uncle Dvorak wants to hold a 'Red Tour' concert during the grand Lantern Rite. Do you think it's possible?"
Upon hearing Lumine's words, Ganyu's embarrassed expression immediately shifted into a work-focused demeanor. Everyone had their strengths, and Ganyu's greatest strength was probably her work ethic.
"Holding a concert during the Lantern Rite might be difficult. As you know, the Lantern Rite is a traditional festival, and it must align with the public's wishes. I'm not sure if they would accept such a concert. However, I could consider having the 'Red Tour' as the grand finale of the Lantern Rite. That might work." Ganyu's expression was one of deep thought, truly earnest, making it hard for anyone to interrupt.
"Is that really possible? I don't care about the specific format, as long as it can be held, everything else can be discussed." Dvorak was extremely excited. He hadn't expected it to actually succeed. He had tried several times before, but his proposals either vanished without a trace or received no response. Even after waiting for days, there was no news, which made him realize that the higher-ups here seemed to not care at all.
"Naturally, it's possible. We can draft a proposal now. With the Traveler's strong recommendation attached, even the Liyue Qixing would have to give it serious consideration." The Traveler, being a person of great renown, even a minor suggestion from her would receive considerable attention. With her strong endorsement, it would likely be approved soon. Dvorak also understood that this wasn't due to his own efforts or the appeal of the 'Red Tour' itself, but rather the contribution of the yellow-haired traveler by his side.
"By the way, if Lu Ze also recommends it, I'm 100% confident that this performance will be approved." Lu Ze was also a heavyweight. After all, he had saved Liyue from peril multiple times. His opinions would not only be highly valued but would also have an over 85% chance of approval. If the two of them combined, wouldn't that be 100%? Perhaps even over 150%.
"Thank you all so much. It is my honor to be able to hold the 'Red Tour' in Liyue!" Ganyu smiled slightly and continued, "If Lu Ze doesn't mind, I'll write it in the report like that. Also, Dvorak, come and discuss the specific details so I can write the report and submit it." Dvorak walked over. The two of them chatted for a long time, and Ganyu continuously wrote on her notebook. Soon, a draft was completed.
