The traveler receives another call from the lilac electro cat princess.

Hello?
Hello, Keqing?
Hi?

Uh… hello? Can you hear me?

. . .

Service here sucks.
Beidou, can you give me the wifi password?!

"NingguangSux69"
Got it.

Aight, now to call Keqing back…

. . .

Heya, Keqing! Sorry about hanging up on you earlier…
Cell phone service here is terrible…

[No worries, Traveler. I have some important news to discuss with you!]

Important news? Uh… did you complete the Rex Lapis action figure set?

[What?! No! Shush, you!]

Hahaha! I'm only kidding.
Anyways, what's up?

[How familiar are you with Mt. Tianheng?]

Mt. Tianquan? Please don't tell me that's a euphemism for Ningguang's-

[The tourist attraction, Traveler.]

I mean, I knew a lot of people think she's hot, but I didn't know it was a common attraction for tourists too.

[No, no, no, not Ningguang! Mt. Tianquan! Wait, carp, now I'm doing it too. Traveler!]

You're doing Ningguang too?

[Your honor, I confess to the murder of one Blue Strreekk. In my defense, he was asking for it.]

Pfft hahaha!
Okay, okay, okay.
Jokes aside, I am familiar with Mt. Tianquan.
Wait, daggummit!
Tianheng. Tianheng.

I'm familiar with Mt. Tianqua-
You know what? Never mind. We both know what we're talking about.

[I'm not yet convinced that your mind isn't still on Ningguang.]

Why, you wound me! Do you take me for someone so dirty-minded?
Also, fair.

[Anyways, as you know, Mt. Tianheng is a popular tourist attraction because it boasts a view of Liyue Harbor.]
[The harbor itself is quite the sight to see at nighttimes, especially from that height.]
[As such, it is also a popular dating location.]

Keqing, I didn't want it to come to this….
I know that we're such good friends and have been for a while….
And I don't want to shatter your dreams, but…
My heart belongs to another.

[Yes, I'm aware of that. I'm not asking you out, Traveler.]

I know, I'm sorry-wait, what?

[I graduated from MiHoYo's School of Wingmanning with a Master's in Wingwomanning.]
[Ever since you asked me for help with Ganyu, I've been putting in a good word for you and trying to help you two out.]

When did I ask you for help with Ganyu…?

[Heh heh. Remember a while back when I asked you to help me clear out a mission at the Chasm?]

Ah yes, the Chasm mission. Yeah, I think I remember that.

[I made you sandwiches to bribe you into accepting my request.]

Definitely remember the sandwiches.

[Of course you do.]
[After the mission, you insisted on watching the sunset. So, we sat and chatted.]
[That's when you told me about Ganyu, and I offered to help you out.]

I must've been half asleep or something, heh heh.

[Surely you remember texting me, asking for help with Lisa?]

Yeah, I remember the Lisa call… yeesh.
Thanks for helping out back then.

[Heh heh. Don't mention it, Traveler. I have your back, and I told you I'd help you with Ganyu.]
[Speaking of which, back to the Mt. Tianheng topic.]

Yea, what's up with that?

[I was able to secure a date for you and Ganyu!]

Ah, lovely-wait, WHAT?!

[I booked the location for you and I'm in the process of ordering catering.]

Woah, woah, wait a minute, Keqing…

[I selected an evening timeframe so that you guys can watch the sunset-I know how much you like that.]

Keqing…

[And then you can also observe the view and the city lights.]

Keqing.

[I organized a flower arrangement and I've ordered a new suit for you, and-]

Keqing!

[Yes, Traveler?]

I am on a boat.
Heading to Inazuma.
Right now.

[Okay, and when you get there, use the teleport waypoints to come back in time for your date.]

Hey! Breaking the fourth wall is my thing!

[Seriously, though, Traveler. You two need this time together. You've hung out before, like the many times when you came to her office-yes, I noticed.]
[And remember when you and that adeptus and chef came to help her work overtime.]
[And when we all went on vacation together.]
[You've spent a lot of time with her. I think it's time you took the next step, or you'll miss your shot.]

I mean…
I was about to say I'm not ready for such a thing…
But I guess you're right.

At the same time, though, I've already started my journey to Inazuma.
Once I arrive, I'll need to get settled.

[You will have enough time to settle in.]

Plus, I have Bennett, Fischl, and Xingqiu with me, and I have a feeling that leaving those three alone will be a really bad idea.

[That's completely valid; I agree.]
[But you won't need to worry about them for a little while.]
[Unfortunately, due to scheduling, the Mt. Tianheng venue is booked for the next few weeks.]

What the carp?! Then, why are you telling me about this now?!

[Better to be prepared for the future.]

Three weeks in advance?!
I mean, fair…
But still!

[Don't worry, Traveler. I've taken care of most of the planning.]
[All you need to do is show up on time.]
[Do not be late for her, you hear me?]

Yeah, I hear you…

[Good. Show up on time, wear something nice, be yourself. That's all you need to do.]

Heh heh.
Thanks, Keqing.

[You're very welcome, Traveler.]

I owe you one. If there's anything you need, please tell me, okay?

[That won't be necessary. After all… it was you who told me that friends help each other, not owe each other.]

I-
I dunno what to say, haha!

[Have a safe trip, Traveler. I'll talk to you later, okay?]

Sounds good.
Take care, Keqing.
