Chapter 102

Jirachi sat on Takumi's lap. It happily took the square snacks that Takumi brought from the shelf and ate them one bite at a time.

"Yummy~"

"It's my taste, Takumi~" A pure and sweet voice sounded in Takumi's ears through telepathy.

Takumi gently scratched Jirachi's chin like a cat, and it made a comfortable purring sound. Chewing the energy cube, it squinted its eyes slightly in comfort. In the system authority lottery, every mythical Pokémon has the highest intimacy with Takumi.

Moreover, Jirachi had been sleeping at home for a while, and it was actually close to waking up. Jirachi gradually became conscious and could more or less perceive the outside world.

Therefore, after fully waking up, Jirachi did not act unfamiliar at all.

"Takumi, give me a hug~"

"Hug~"

Jirachi finished a box of energy cubes and stood up unsteadily on Takumi's lap. It also stretched out its hands, with a child-like expectation on its soft and cute face.

Takumi couldn't help but smile at the scene. It was just like a human child!

In fact, Takumi had some sympathy and pity for Jirachi. This kind of Pokémon only wakes up for seven days every thousand years and spends the rest of the time in a deep sleep.

Therefore, although Jirachi has existed for a very long time, the time it has spent really laughing and playing adds up to only "seven days"—barely the experience and knowledge of a child a few years old!

"Alright!"

"Hug!"

Takumi didn't hesitate. He regarded Jirachi as his daughter, picking it up and letting it sit in his arms. Jirachi turned around and looked at Takumi's guests—Signora and Yelan on the sofa—and cast a timid look.

"Jirachi, say hello to the guests too."

It seemed to be a good child that obeyed the orders of its caretaker. Though timid and afraid of strangers, it mustered up the courage to say:

"Hello, hello."

"My name is Jirachi..."

This little cutie seemed to have an aura that drew people in. The usually strong and aloof Signora had a soft smile on her lips.

Of course, this Signora is not the Fatui Harbinger.

Or, rather, she has reclaimed her real name.

Only Takumi and Signora understood each other tacitly.

"Hello!"

Yelan kept holding the Pokédex and looking at the scanned information:

"Jirachi, Steel and Psychic type, Wishing Pokémon.

Characteristic: Serene Grace.

Level: Lv.120 (Tier 1 Legendary).

Moves: Future Sight, Psychic, Wish... Since ancient times, there has been a legend that Jirachi will grant the wish written on the wishing tags on its head when it wakes up..."

Yelan didn't know that Takumi had more detailed store manager information. She was surprised that this cute little creature was actually level 120!

You know, in the arena earlier, Hu Tao's Gabite, which showed off its ferocious power and wasn't weak compared to some of the elite monsters in the Chasm, was only level 25.

Of course, Yelan hadn't joined the group yet and hadn't adopted an initial Pokémon, so she didn't know about the Pokémon's potential limits.

Level 120 is exaggerated, but what is really "exaggerated" are the extreme bottlenecks such as level 80 Champions and level 90 Masters that cause countless trainers to despair.

There is also the power to surpass the false gods, third-tier legendaries, and second-tier legendaries!

In other words, the Tier 1 Legendary Jirachi that Takumi drew has far more perfect wish-granting powers than those of a Tier 2 Legendary!

Its ability to fulfill wishes is probably among the best among all the mythical Pokémon.

This was good news for Takumi.

Who would dislike having a "universal wishing machine" by their side that is so powerful?

Even if Takumi doesn't have many wishes—or, rather, within Teyvat, there are no wishes for Jirachi to fulfill for the time being—it is always good to have as a strategic reserve!

"Jirachi."

There was a subtle smile on Takumi's lips.

Yelan felt a sense of impending danger.

"Miss Yelan, she just mentioned that she wanted to drink a certain kind of tea..."

He repeated Yelan's joking and casual remarks word for word.

Dried Jueyun Chili!

The stamens of Glaze Lily!

Yunlai White Tea!

Jirachi had a serious expression as if it was collecting detailed information about the wish. After a while, Jirachi nodded confidently:

"A very simple wish~"

"Do you want it now?"

Its big eyes, as black as the starry sky, looked at Yelan.

The little creature's gaze fell on her.

It was obviously a cute and innocent-looking Pokémon, but Yelan felt inexplicably nervous. She pressed her legs tightly together on the sofa.

Takumi glanced over and said, "Miss Yelan, if I were you, I would turn on the video function to record this."

"Jirachi's wish fulfillment video."

"This will go down in Teyvat's history. None of the Seven Archons have such power and divine authority!"

Yelan worked in investigation and intelligence. After Takumi's reminder, she immediately realized how valuable such a "video" was.

"I'll add you to our celebrity customer group."

"Please post the video later. I guarantee that you'll become the most popular one in the entire group chat... No, the coolest girl!"

After Takumi finished speaking, he started operating.

Ding dong.

Welcome Yelan (mystery Woman) to the group chat.

This prompt popped up on the Pokédex screen.

Yelan was stunned and clicked on it, and the group chat interface immediately appeared.

On the list of group members, they were all celebrities from the Mondstadt and Liyue areas.

At this moment, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Yelan's mature and mysterious face.

No one knew that Yelan, who had been involved in various secrets and dangerous places, had developed a peculiar addiction—she enjoyed the thrill of danger and the sense of accomplishment.

Just as Takumi said, she recorded the video and uploaded the precious footage of Jirachi granting her wish to the group chat.

It caused a heated discussion.

The sight itself was a sense of accomplishment!

So, Yelan immediately understood what Takumi had meant.

Yelan: (Jirachi Pokédex) A gift from a newcomer. Is this the mythical beast of Club Manager Takumi? A Tier 1 Legendary? Surely you haven't gotten one like this...

Hu Tao: What's going on? The Hall Master just left!

Xiangling: Wow! This mythical beast finally woke up!

Ningguang: It's... the mythical beast that originally appeared with Cresselia, but because it hadn't awakened, we couldn't get its Pokédex entry!

Klee: It's so tiny, almost like a puppy...

Venti: Look at the pattern, everyone. Pay attention to its description—Tier 1 Legendary!

Zhongli: A wishing Pokémon? It can make wishes come true... This kind of power and authority, in terms of universal rationality, seems incomparably close to the domains of time and space.

Prince: What the hell is a Tier 1 Legendary?! You mortals know nothing about the cuteness of mythical beings all day long. You've never been defeated by a Tier 1 Legendary! You don't know how terrifying it is!

Naganohara Yoimiya: Who's this guy above? A member of the Ghost group? From your tone, it sounds like you've been educated by a Tier 1 Legendary...

Prince: I have indeed...

Dainsleif: Believe him. When Manager Takumi went into the Abyss once, there was a legend in the underground civilization. One day, when the new moon came, their prince surrendered...

Yelan: Dainsleif, I know you! Listening to your insinuations, Your Highness, I also know who you are!

Klee: Manager Takumi, can Jirachi really grant any wish? Klee has lots of wishes!

Jean: (gentle smile.JPG) Klee, what are you doing here? Just give me time to stay in Mondstadt!

Kaedehara Kazuha: A wish... A friend's wish...

Lisa: Manager Takumi, actually, witches also have many wishes. If the manager asks Jirachi to grant me one... I would be willing to provide bed-warming services to Mr. Takumi...

Group chat system prompt: Lisa has been banned by Mona, the administrator of this group, for 30 minutes...

Reason for banning: All kinds of escort services are prohibited in this group!

Yanfei: I swear, if you want to climb into the manager's bed, do it privately and don't pollute the group chat!

Hu Tao: Yanfei, Ganyu, I'm raising a serious academic question. You are half-adepti, with the blood of adepti beasts flowing through you. If you and Takumi have a child, will the next generation be half-adeptus?

Ganyu: !!! (hair standing on end).JPG

...

The dangerous topic Hu Tao brought up left Yanfei and Ganyu speechless. No one dared to continue that thread of conversation.

At the same time, Jirachi released its wish power. Its soft body floated away from Takumi's arms and rose into the air.

A trace of starry power was projected in the living room.

If Mona were there, she would surely have been amazed by the magnificent sight of the entire starry sky falling into view.

If Mona took the opportunity to use hydromancy to divine someone's fate, the image she saw would be incredibly clear.

Whoosh!

Directly above the store, in broad daylight, a shooting star streaked across the sky.

Only Venti and Zhongli, who were playing "Pokémon Auto Chess" in the research institute, noticed the power of the meteor lingering and raised their heads to watch the meteor streak across the sky and disappear.

Venti: "Hey... did we already achieve a wish?"

Zhongli didn't care about the final round on the game screen. He exited the game and opened the group chat interface:

A meteor just streaked across Liyue's sky. It was the power of a wish.

Group members: ???

In the living room.

Yelan stood in shock, staring at Jirachi floating in the air.

At that moment, a single eye suddenly opened on Jirachi's belly.

The Eye of Truth!

This was Jirachi's third eye. Whenever it opens, a wish is granted.

"Uh-huh."

Yelan was attracted by a wisp of heat.

On the coffee table in the living room, at some point, there was a pot of hot tea that had just been brewed.

The steam and aroma of the tea filled the air.

This aroma... it was her favorite drink, Yunlai White Tea!

Next to the teapot, there were two small plates containing dried Jueyun Chili and powdered Glaze Lily stamens.

"Hahahaha."

The eye on Jirachi's belly closed, and it fell back into Takumi's arms.

"Are you okay, Jirachi?"

"This wish was very simple. It didn't consume anything at all. It was easy.~~"

Yelan couldn't wait any longer. Based on her taste, she opened the lid of the pot, added the appropriate amount of powdered ingredients, and then made herself a cup of hot tea.

After drinking it and savoring it carefully, Yelan was amazed.

It was simply the highest quality she had ever tasted!

The tea, the water quality... everything was perfect. There was nothing wrong with the powdered Jueyun Chili and Glaze Lily stamens!
