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...
It had been a couple of days since my trip to The Chasm, and the dimension that everybody involved in that adventure had gotten trapped into. Yanfei and Shinobu helped me find my way back to the Funeral Parlour, to which we were greeted by consultant Zhongli at the door.
A day of rest later, and I was up and able to hang out with the two Inazumans as they explored the city. At first they questioned why I wore a hood despite the blaring hot sun, but when I told them it was to avoid discrimination and for the two guests from afar getting lumped in with my bad reputation... well, Itto had a real issue with that.
I guess because of Itto's past experiences with his being an Oni in a human world, but he said he'd stand by me no matter what people thought of me or the company that I keep. Shinobu also agreed, and said she'd have no qualms with being around me, as she has to deal with the reputation of the Arataki Gang at home anyways.
A couple days later of exploration and touring, and the two of them had to return back to Inazuma again, having now received Shinobu's certificate of passing that she had originally come to Liyue to collect.
And now, with a couple of days as buffer to allow things to cool down, I was now making another trip out of the city. This time though, I was heading to somewhere a little more civilised, to Wangshu Inn...
Y/N: "Thanks again Ganyu, for accompanying me. I'm not entirely sure how this would go if I was alone... "
Ganyu: "I'm sure you'd be fine! Xiao isn't that scary nowadays!"
Y/N: "I know but... what I have to tell him... I'm not sure how best to do it... I might mess up my words and cause issues where there shouldn't be."
Ganyu: "You'll be fine I'm sure! But... what is it that you need to tell him? You didn't really say..."
Y/N: "I... I guess I haven't told you yet, have I? Well, the thing is—"
???: "What are you two doing here?"

Ganyu: "Oh, Xiao! What are you doing out here?"
Xiao: "I always patrol these lands, for the last couple centuries... but what are you doing here? Do you not have work to do with the Qixing... or are you here for more training?"
Ganyu: "Actually... I came here with Y/N. They wanted to tell you something."
Xiao: "... I see. Aether told me you would be visiting me for that reason..."
Y/N: "y–Yeah, I... I asked him if he'd be able to do that for me... neither of us were really in the state back then to have a proper discussion..."
Xiao: ". . ."
Y/N: "p–Perhaps it would be better if we went back to somewhere else? Somewhere that isn't the main road, maybe..."
