Chapter 443: Rolling into the General Affairs Department
Anyway, after chatting with Mr. Okazaki Rikuto for such a long time, Gu Chen can be said to have gained a lot.
After silently blessing the old man in their hearts, Gu Chen and Paimeng continued to eat and drink.
Before long, they had almost finished eating.
After looking at the night scene outside, Gu Chen realized that it was getting late and it was time to leave and return to the castle tower.
So, leaving the leftovers behind, Gu Chen took the satisfied Paimeng with him and staggered down the second floor to the first floor of Wuyou Pavilion, intending to say goodbye to Xiao Gong.
When they arrived on the first floor, Xiao Gong was wiping the sweat from his head, sitting in a corner, drinking hot water in small sips.
Judging from her appearance, she must have been busy for a long time and finally got a chance to take a break.
Gu Chen observed the guests around him and it seemed that there were indeed not that many.
Xiao Gong, who was taking a short break over there, also saw Gu Chen and Paimeng coming down. She immediately stood up:
"Brother Gu Chen, and Paimeng, have you guys enjoyed your meal and drinks?"
Paimon nodded with a smile:
"Well, I enjoyed the meal very much. Thank you Xiao Gong for your hospitality."
"No, no, just enjoy your meal."
Seeing Xiao Gong so busy and tired, Gu Chen couldn't help but feel distressed and reluctant:
"Xiao Palace, tonight's expenses..."
When mentioning this, Xiao Gong smiled:
"Oh, I already said that I'll treat you tonight, so you don't have to worry about so much, Brother Gu Chen.
And, I have good news for you..."
When he said this, Xiao Gong lowered his voice, his expression mysterious:
"Mr. Okazaki and you struck up a good conversation and it felt like we were old friends. He heard that it was my treat tonight, so he gave you a free meal!
You must not tell Erika about this, or Mr. Okazaki will be punished again!"
Hearing this, Gu Chen didn't know how to describe his feelings.
He couldn't help but look at Okazaki Rikuto behind the counter.
The old man also noticed Gu Chen's gaze.
Unfortunately, his wife was not far from him, and because of the lesson he had just learned, the old man didn't dare to come over and greet her directly.
So, he secretly made a toast gesture to Gu Chen through the blind spot of his wife's sight.
The meaning is very clear, we will have the chance to get together again and drink together again!
Gu Chen immediately laughed and returned the gesture of holding up the wine glass, which made the old man laugh out loud.
In any case, it is a good thing to be able to get a free meal. At least it will not put pressure on Xiaogong's personal finances again.
After confirming that Xiao Palace would still be busy for a while and could not leave work for the time being, Gu Chen and Paimeng said goodbye to Xiao Palace.
The two of them left Wuyou Pavilion and returned to the castle tower in a relaxed atmosphere.
At the same time, on the other side of the sea in Liyue Harbor, three people were walking hurriedly.
Because these three people had different speeds, in order to save time, they rushed to their destination in batches.
The first and fastest thing to be hit was a roller-like wind element ball that rushed forward quickly.
Looking closely, there seems to be a child wrapped inside this wind element ball. I wonder what kind of journey this child is in.
There are so many people in Liyue Harbor, and everyone is quite knowledgeable.
But this way of traveling by rolling over and over was the first time they had seen it.
But to be honest, this fast rolling method of traveling, coupled with the blessing of the wind element, does make the forward rushing speed quite fast.
Look, the Wind Elemental Wheel rushed all the way into Liyue Harbor's main gate, across the long arch bridge, across the dock square, and up the long steps...
Under the surprised gazes of many Liyue people, she rushed straight to the General Affairs Department!
It was already late, and it was the time when the General Affairs Department was closing for the day.
The reason why Wind Element Ball was so anxious was probably because she was afraid that when she finally arrived at the General Affairs Department, they would turn her away at the door after get off work.
Look, there are only a few civil servants left in the General Affairs Department. Most of them have already left work, and the remaining few are also planning to leave.
Just when the last few people were about to leave the General Affairs Department, the wind element ball finally arrived!
Moreover, the wind element ball rushed directly into the gate of the General Affairs Department!
They rushed in so fast that the Qianyan Army standing guard at the door didn't have time to shout "Stop!"
In short, the wind element ball rushed all the way.
After rushing into the General Affairs Department, it slammed into a wall with a bang. The wind elements were scattered, and the true appearance of the rolling ball was finally revealed!
Poor Zaoyou broke away from the wind element.
The little guy leaned against the wall he had just bumped into, his head feeling dizzy and his eyes turning into spinning mosquito-like eyes.
She tried hard to stand up, but she was staggering and unable to maintain her balance, muttering to herself:
“So… so dizzy!
Never... has it ever been so long... ever!
I feel dizzy... the sky is spinning!"
The Qianyan Army that had chased in and the remaining civil servants couldn't help but look at each other in surprise when they saw this.
They thought that unknown people had attacked the General Affairs Department.
I didn’t expect that it was such a little kid who rushed in and bumped into the wall!
It's hard to feel wary or disgusted when faced with such a cute and pitiful little guy, right?
So the civil servant from the General Affairs Department squatted beside Zaoyou and asked her with concern:
"Little boy, what's wrong with you?
Why are you rushing into the General Affairs Department so hastily? Are you in trouble?
Zaoyou's eyes are still like those of a mosquito coil:
"General... General Affairs Department?
Oh! I remember now! General Affairs Department!
The General Affairs Department...isn't off work yet? Am I on time?"
The civil servant's mouth twitched:
“You made it, our General Affairs Department was almost off duty.
"Little friend, calm down for a moment. What brings you to the General Affairs Department in such a hurry?"
Zaoyou's eyes are finally no longer those mosquito-repellent eyes.
She barely recovered, stood up shakily, and shouted anxiously to the people in front of her:
“I…we are here to apologize to Liyue!
Luckily I made it today!
If we miss it and it gets delayed until tomorrow, that will be terrible!"
That's right.
Before Gu Chen left Liyue for Inazuma, didn’t he give a death order to Kamisato Ayaka, Kuki Shinobu, and Hayateu?
They were required to kill all the Inazuma people with ulterior motives in Liyue within three days.
After killing them, he asked the three of them to go to Liyue Harbor openly to apologize to the Liyue officials.
Today is the last day of the third day.
If they fail to apologize, they will have to wait until tomorrow, which will exceed the time limit.
Because she was afraid that the General Affairs Department would go off work, and because time was really tight, Kamisato Ayaka had no choice but to send Zaoyou to rush there in a rolling manner, making sure that Zaoyou arrived there before the General Affairs Department went off work!
