The traveler receives a call from a spooky girl.

"Scam likely"?
Hmm…
You know, normally when I get a spam call, I just let it ring through.
Buuuuuut….
Heh heh

. . .

Yes, hello? Byleth Eisner speaking.
Wait…
HU TAO?!
Why does your number show up as "scam likely"?
Wait, don't answer that.

Anyways, I see business has now spread to telemarketing, heh heh.
Wait, it hasn't?
Oh no…
I've doomed us all, haven't I…

Okay, look, I don't need a coffin right now.
Paimon does, though.
With all the floating she does, it's about time we bring her back down to earth.
Haha! She's having a ballistic fit right now.

Wait, Hu Tao, I was kidding!
I'm not going to bury Paimon yet.
As much as I'd like to be of use to you and the parlor, I'd rather not be a customer for a good long time.

When I go, I want to be satisfied with the life I've led.
And right now, I'm on a mission to find my sister.

You know, you're absolutely right. I should follow my aspirations.
Heh heh. I'd rather not have something morbidly unfortunate occur on a mission.

But let's see…
What are my aspirations? Besides finding Lumine, of course.
That's my top priority, but once I find her, then what?
We used to like travelling to different worlds together.

But if I'm being honest, I… I kinda like it here in Teyvat.
I've made so many friends, and the whole world is so beautiful.
But I guess I haven't really thought much about my dreams.
I mean, Lumine and I just wanted to visit other worlds.

Heh heh. Gee, thanks, Hu Tao.
I feel much better knowing my corpse will be safe in your hands.
Haha!

Hey, so, um…
Last time I was on a trip to Bubu Pharmacy, you asked me to drop off a package at the front desk.
I wanted to ask you about it, but… I didn't want to pry.

Huh? Coconut milk for Qiqi?
Aw, that's so sweet!
Hey, I really hope you're able to make things right.
I know she's probably still a little wary right now, but…

In time, I hope you can become good friends.
And if you'd like, I could help out!

No?

You know what? I will respect that.
I admire your drive to fix things on your own.
So, I will just send my support in the form of positive vibes. And maybe a hug too.

You know, I'm glad you tried to prank-call me.
Because we had this time to chat!
Maybe next time I'm in the area, we could sit down for tea?

Oh, and Mr Zhongli is invited too. Tell him I said "hi," by the way!
No, not "hi by the way," just "hi."
I haven't really talked to him in a while, so I probably should give him a call here.
Unless he's over there with you and you could turn the phone on speaker.

Oh, perfect!

Ahem…
Hi, Mr Zhongli!
Wait, what the carp, man?!
I'm not dating Keqing! Geez!

You're never going to let that go, are you?
No, Hu Tao, don't listen to him.

Maybe that should be one of my goals, haha!
Find a girlfriend so you three can stop asking me about it.
Three? Oh, I was on a call with Childe a few weeks ago and he was asking me too.

Anyways…
Let's see, I don't really have much to do today.
Though, I did promise Ganyu I'd handle a commission for her so she could finish another assignment.

She tried talking me out of it, haha!
But knowing how much work she has on her hands, I wanted to help ease her workload.
That girl is so sweet, but I don't think she knows her own limits. Last time I helped her with some paperwork, she fell asleep in the middle of writing a report!

What do you mean, "she needs someone to watch over her?"
I mean, if she needs someone to help out, then I'd gladly-
Oh wait, I see where this is going.

You guys!
I'm not dating Ganyu! Geez!
What the carp? I just want to be friends with people and help them out…
Stop shipping me with every girl I mention, haha!

No, I know it's all in good fun.
And thank you for looking out for me, guys.
I guess I'm not very good at looking out for myself, so… it's nice to have someone back me up.
Even if those people who back me up also want to put me in the ground.
For crying out loud, I'm in my early twenties!

Hey, so, it was a lot of fun getting to speak to you guys again!
I gotta go deal with that commission right now, so I'll talk to you later.
I'll see if I can stop by the parlor later.
Aight, see ya!
