Angels Share tavern.
Diluc frowned, looking at Kai who had walked in again.
He suddenly felt extremely annoyed.
"I've ordered food from Good Hunter, and I'll be borrowing this place for a bit later."
"That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Kai raised his hand in greeting, asking with a smile.
Kai had shares in Angels Share.
Although he only owned half, borrowing the venue for a simple meal was, of course, no problem.
However, seeing Diluc's somewhat strange expression, although he didn't know what had happened, Kai thought about it.
He still decided to ask first.
"Go ahead."
Seeing Lisa and Jean following him in, although he now desperately wanted to draw his great sword and cleave this annoying fellow in half, considering he was once a junior in the Knights of Favonius, Diluc thought about it and finally suppressed his inner irritation.
He continued to busy himself with his own affairs.
Fortunately, this time, Kai had no intention of continuing to bother him.
After finding a spot, in just a moment, Good Hunter restaurant delivered all the previously ordered meals.
"I'm full."
Taking a deep breath, after half an hour of eating, Kai quickly filled his stomach and let out a sigh of relief, as if a great burden had been lifted.
At this time, as women whose appetites were not particularly large, Lisa and Jean had naturally finished their meals much earlier.
Seeing that Kai had also filled his stomach, Lisa, with a contented expression, couldn't help but show a lazy, cat-like look.
Leaning back in her chair, she said softly, "Thank you for your hospitality today, Kai~ Though it's a bit of a shame I didn't get to taste your homemade cooking."
"If you really want to, next time I bring takeout for Jean,"
"I'll prepare a portion for you too."
Kai scratched his head and chuckled.
He naturally remained quite polite when praised.
"So, it's just a 'by the way'... We've known each other for a long time, haven't we? Can't you specifically cook for me next time?"
"Sorry, I'm married. I can't specifically cook for other women."
To be fair... although Kai's cooking skills were good, he was also quite lazy normally.
That's not to say in terms of daily life.
After all, as someone with mild mysophobia, keeping the house clean and tidy was simply Kai's instinctive behavior.
As for cooking, he simply didn't have much interest.
Rather than cooking alone at home, Kai would prefer to frequently patronize Good Hunter; he certainly wasn't short on that bit of Mora.
One could say that cooking for Jean, in a sense, truly was a special effort.
But there's no helping it... after all, there's only one wife!
"Eh~ Alright, alright, I know you two are in love."
Looking at Kai's smiling face, Lisa sighed helplessly.
She always felt completely superfluous in front of these two.
"Anyway, I'll head back to the library now. See you tomorrow, Jean."
"Oh~ Take care."
Waving her hand, Lisa's figure soon disappeared from the tavern.
Looking at Jean, who was sitting beside him, enjoying a rare moment of rest, Kai propped his chin and quietly asked, "So, shall we go for a stroll in the city?"
At this time, there was still a long while until nightfall.
Although the festival activities only started in the evening, as a rare large-scale celebration, many merchants had already begun to prepare in advance, coupled with the rare clear weather.
Going shopping at this time was clearly not a wrong choice.
"Then I'll listen to Kai."
Looking at Kai's somewhat expectant eyes, Jean nodded hesitantly.
"But if we're going shopping, we have to buy something..."
"The Mora for the household should all be used up, right? Do I have to use Kai's Mora again?"
"I didn't say I was taking you to spend it."
Kai showed a puzzled expression: "I just asked you to accompany me for a walk."
"Of course, if there's anything you want to buy, I can lend you some Mora, but the interest is very high. If I lend you one Mora, you have to return two Mora."
"Then I probably wouldn't be able to pay it back at all. My salary isn't even enough for household expenses."
Jean lowered her head, feeling a little guilty.
Her salary wasn't even enough for household expenses, and she worked all day, neglecting her home.
From that perspective, it was indeed a bit excessive.
"Good that you know, so before you pay it back..."
"You can't just run off and go too far from me."
Kai propped his face with one hand and very naturally took Jean's hand.
"Otherwise, what if I want to find you to get my Mora back that day but can't find you?"
"I... I know."
Jean nodded, letting Kai lead her out of the tavern.
Looking at the clear sky above, she quietly added, "Even if I didn't owe you Mora, I wasn't planning on leaving."
Huh?
He was too busy enjoying the long-lost bustling street.
Kai was slightly startled, not quite hearing what Jean said.
"Nothing, let's go."
She lightly coughed twice, and Jean quickly changed the subject.
Of course, it was impossible to repeat what she had just said.
After all, as the Acting Grand Master and an excellent Knight raised by a Knight family, Jean was very easily shy when outside.
Naturally, this only happened when something related to Kai occurred.
As the Stormterror disaster was temporarily resolved, the entire Mondstadt seemed to have regained its former vitality in a celebratory atmosphere.
Although the houses in the depths of the streets still showed obvious damage, with Kai's previous assistance, the entire Knights of Favonius's work was orderly, without any sense of haste.
"I say, you're not trying to go to work again, are you?"
Walking aimlessly on the street, looking at the long-unseen vendors on both sides, plus the busy City Guard around, Kai seemed to notice that his wife's attention was a bit off and shot her a displeased look.
He directly blocked her path.
"Kai..."
Jean seemed not to have expected Kai to suddenly step in front of her.
For a moment, she clearly didn't react and directly bumped into him.
Seeing Kai, who seemed a bit displeased, she then managed to stop her steps.
"I'm telling you, it's a rare day off, so don't always think about work."
(A certain energetic voice in the distance: Jean... Jean!)
"Go for a good stroll and relax."
Kai raised his hand and pinched Jean's nose.
He clearly had no way to deal with his wife.
"In short, today, your eyes can only be on me."
"Understand?"
"Jean!"
The energetic voice sounded again.
Kai sighed, annoyed that he was interrupted at such a time.
He immediately turned around, not in a good mood, following the voice.
"Who?"
