After bidding farewell to Barbara and the other two, Siegfrieda and Amu drove the carriage into Mondstadt, heading toward The Good Hunter Restaurant.
Along the way, they saw patrolling Knights everywhere, volunteers wearing masks, and ordinary citizens queuing up for testing.
"Amu, let's first deliver the goods to Miss Sara, and then we'll go deliver the letter to Acting Grand Master Jean and the others."
"Mm."
The streets were sparsely populated. The usually bustling roads were deserted and quiet. The shops along the roadside were doing miserably, with only two or three customers scattered about, completely lacking the liveliness of the past.
"Two of you, please present your negative test certificates."
"If you do not have a certificate, please proceed to the nearest testing station for examination."
Siegfrieda quickly searched through her belongings, looking for the proof of testing that Barbara had given them earlier.
"Amu, do you remember where I put the certificate Barbara gave us?"
"I have it."
Amu took out three testing certificates from her pocket and handed them to the Knight of Favonius who had stopped them.
The Knight of Favonius carefully inspected the seals and signatures on the documents. After recording the information, he returned the certificates to Amu.
The Knight of Favonius performed a formal Knight's salute and said loudly, "Thank you for cooperating with the work of the Knights of Favonius."
After saying goodbye to the diligent and responsible Knight of Favonius, Siegfrieda and Amu drove the carriage onward.
The Good Hunter Restaurant was not far from the city gate, and the two soon arrived at their destination.
"Good morning, Sara."
"Good morning, Miss Sara!"
Siegfrieda parked the carriage by the roadside, then she and Amu carried the carrots into The Good Hunter Restaurant.
"Oh, it's you! Welcome, welcome!"
Sara, who had been leaning on the counter, propping her chin with her elbow and idly watching the passersby due to the lack of customers, immediately perked up and greeted the two with a smile.
When she saw the boxes Siegfrieda and Amu were carrying, the smile on her face became even brighter.
Sara asked excitedly, "This is what I was hoping for, right?!"
Siegfrieda showed a hearty smile, patted her chest, and said:
"That's right, it's the magical carrots from Springvale Farm."
Saying that, she opened the wooden crate and handed a carrot to Sara from inside.
"Here, inspect the goods!"
Sara carefully took the carrot as if it were a treasure. She held it with both hands, slightly inclined her body, her delicate nose twitching, and took a deep breath next to the carrot like an obsessed fan.
The fresh fragrance of the carrot instantly filled her mind.
"That's right, it's this smell!"
Sara excitedly gave a thumbs-up.
She carefully put away the carrot, then called the back kitchen staff of The Good Hunter to help weigh this box of delicious carrots before moving them to the storage area.
"Five times the market price, multiplied by the weight of these carrots, the total is... 105,000 Mora."
Sara took out a large bag of Mora from under the counter and handed it to the two.
While the two were counting the Mora, Sara asked with anticipation mixed with caution:
"Freya, is Mr. Arkz satisfied with our price?"
Siegfrieda smiled as she counted the Mora. It was the first time she had ever seen so much Mora.
She nodded and said, "Mr. Arkz said he is very satisfied and agreed to cooperate with The Good Hunter Restaurant."
Sara happily waved her small fists and cheered:
"That's wonderful!!!"
"Thank you both, Freya, and Amu!"
"From today onward, all shipping commissions for Springvale Farm will be entrusted to you two!"
"Also, these fifty-percent-off coupons are a small token of my personal appreciation, please accept them."
Sara pulled out a thick stack of coupons from under the counter and stuffed them into their hands. Her attitude was so determined and enthusiastic that the two simply couldn't refuse.
Looking at the coupons in her hand, Siegfrieda was very happy.
Although the chef at The Good Hunter wasn't as skilled as Arkz, the chef's skills were still among the best in all of Mondstadt. Whether it was dining with friends or celebrating an event, The Good Hunter was an excellent choice.
Amu blinked, tugged at the mask on her face, and said in a low voice:
"Sara, you're celebrating too early!"
Sara: "???"
Siegfrieda quickly explained, "Amu means she has more good news to tell you."
"Right, Amu!"
Amu nodded, confirming that was what she meant.
Sara immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two with a pout.
"You two little sweethearts, don't hold your breath like that when you speak. You scared me into thinking this business deal was going to fall through."
"Amu, hurry up and tell me the good news. Sister Sara will give you candy."
Amu took the honey candy Sara offered and stuffed it into her pocket. Although her sense of taste hadn't fully evolved yet, and she couldn't taste anything except the special effect foods made by Arkz, this was still a kind gesture from Sara, so she accepted it. She could take it back for A Qiu to eat. A Qiu really loved candy.
Amu said, "Arkz said that the other crops planted on the farm are also about to mature, and their quality is no worse than these carrots. If The Good Hunter is interested in cooperating, he will bring some samples during the next delivery."
Sara's eyes immediately lit up with little stars.
"There are other delicious ingredients!"
"This is... too wonderful!!!"
Sara tightly grabbed Siegfrieda's and Amu's hands and said loudly, "Please make sure to relay this to Mr. Arkz!"
"The Good Hunter will absolutely be his most loyal partner!!!"
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from outside The Good Hunter Restaurant, the sound of high heels tapping on the ground interrupting their conversation.
"Sara, long time no see. Why is it so lively in here?"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Sara immediately put on a professional smile and said:
"Miss Lisa, long time no see."
"What can I get for you?"
The purple Rose Witch, Lisa, walked slowly to the counter, her steps languid yet elegant, like a cute yet aloof cat.
She leaned down, resting on the counter. Her voluminous witch's robes couldn't conceal her prominent curves behind her, and the expanse of white and the deep shadow in front of her chest were captivating, even for Sara and Siegfrieda, who were women.
Sara's gaze drifted, awkwardly looking around.
Siegfrieda looked up at the sky, meticulously studying the patterns on The Good Hunter's ceiling.
Unintentionally, the two made eye contact, and upon seeing the blush on each other's faces, they shared an awkward smile, their mutual understanding unspoken.
Sara & Siegfrieda: "Damn, phantom limb got hard!"
Lisa chuckled softly, "No rush. I saw you all chatting so happily, I got interested too~"
