A gender-neutral Y/N works for Dr Baizhu at Bubu Pharmacy alongside the young Zombie girl Qiqi but what confuses Y/N is that they have no memory of their time before working at the Pharmacy.
And Liyue commerce is already quite competitive, but what...
Y/N: "Say Hu Tao? Do you think maybe, when you have time, could you maybe help me with a couple things in the meantime?"
Hu Tao: "Sure! I've actually made plans to have the rest of the day off now... f-for no reason at all! Althoughhhhhh... how do you plan to repay me, hmmmm? Teehee!"
Y/N: "Well... I already owe you so much for all that you've done already, so I guess you could ask for anything at all in return! ... Oh, everything except Qiqi! I mean, I've been trying so hard to fix her disdain towards you for you to throw it all away now!"
Hu Tao: "Heehee! Anything but Qiqi huh...? You have a deal! So what first then?"
* * *
Hu Tao: "Well, here we are. This warehouse is owned by the Wangsheng Funeral Parlour, almost all of the articles within these walls were the effects of a past client. Come come, what we're looking for is over here!"
Y/N: "A-Are you sure it's okay? Isn't it some sort of taboo to use the possessions of the uh... those that have passed on?"
Hu Tao: "Oh no no no! That's just something that the everyday folk believe, y'know the same folk who are deathly afraid of ghosts, curses and all things afterlife! In fact, most of the clients whom I help to pass on actually want their effects to be used to help the future generations!"
Y/N: "Oh, really?"
Hu Tao: "Yea! Normally, they have a particular heir in particular so said items are usually delivered to them, but when they aren't specific their stuff tends to gather dust in here because nobody dare use them in case of some super spooky curse or something!"
Y/N: "There uh... won't be any super spooky curses though, right?"
Hu Tao: "Aiya! Of course not! And even if there were, you're fortunate enough to know me! Teehee!"
Y/N: "Huh... seems being Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlour handles a lot more duties than I thought!"
Hu Tao: "Ayup! We are entrusted by the people to loyally see out their wishes. Wangsheng Funeral Parlour is special, in that it carries a dual responsibility, to those both of this realm, and the next."
Y/N: (The next huh...)
Hu Tao: "Well, here we are! This is where we store every weapon that the blacksmith dare not take off our hands!"
Looking around where the two of us were currently stood, I could see at least a dozen racks of weapons around us, carrying weapons of all designs: swords, bigger swords, polearms, bows and... I guess those books and the weird constructs are magical items?
