Subject: Housekeeping Classes!

Hello everyone! My name is Thoma! Nice to meet you! ▽･ｪ･▽ﾉ” (That’s a dog.)

I was just thinking that there are a lot of us here who might be new to living alone or managing things around the house and I wanted to help out. I’m a housekeeper back home, and my duties include cooking, cleaning, mending, laundry, and a few things in-between. These are all valuable skills to have in everyday life!

Usually, I am happy to help where I can, but realistically I can’t clean every house in all of Reverein, so I would like to teach the basics of housekeeping instead. Please let me know if you’re interested and I will schedule some classes! ♡(ᐢ ᴥ ᐢし) (That’s another dog.)



Oh, I also knit so if you want to learn how to do that, I can help there too!

Thanks for reading. Take care everyone!

These are all very practical skills to learn. I know how to cook and clean well enough, but perhaps learning a few extra skills could be beneficial while out in the wilds or on a commission. Especially mending.

If you are offering classes, I would like to participate.

[burnbrighter]

That’s great! The more the merrier!

When you say “commission”, does that mean you’re an adventurer?

[pureyang]

Something of that nature. I am an exorcist by trade. While there are no shortages of exorcism requests around Liyue, during times where there aren't many requests available I will go to the Adventurer's Guild to take up some extra commissions to help fill in any gaps in my work.

It is not quite the same as a dedicated adventurer, but I do spend plenty of time outside of the city.

[burnbrighter]

So you are from Teyvat. I knew there were some of us floating around that I haven't met yet. Nice to meet you!

I don't know too much about Liyue myself, apart from a few stories I've heard from Captain Beidou, but your work sounds really fascinating!

[pureyang]

I am, yes. I was surprised to see others here from Teyvat as well, even if not everyone here is from Liyue. It is a pleasure to meet you as well.

Oh, have you met Captain Beidou? I know my friend speaks quite highly of her. And yes, exorcism is a very well respected art, as there are plenty of ghosts and evil spirits that plague Liyue. It is difficult work, but worth it to help keep the people of Liyue safe.

If I may ask, where are you from then?

[burnbrighter]

I'm originally from Mondstadt, but I've been living in Inazuma for a while now. Beidou's ship was one of the few to make it through the storms on a regular basis, and we met on one of her visits.

Now that the Sakoku Decree has been lifted, I'm hoping we'll see many more visitors from Liyue and beyond!

[pureyang]

Ah, Mondstadt and Inazuma? I have not been to either place myself, though I have met a few people here who were from Mondstadt. It seems like quite a lively country.

As for Inazuma, I have a friend who was preparing to go there for a festival of sorts. I remember him talking about making preparations for travel.

[burnbrighter]

Oh, would that be the Irodori Festival? By my reckoning, it’s already happened, but time is a little weird here!

[pureyang]

Yes, I believe that's the one! He mentioned he was appearing as a guest there and was making preparations to leave soon.

That festival has already happened for you? Hmm... time really is strange here, isn't it?

[burnbrighter]

Well, I should clarify that I fell asleep here for a month, and while I was sleeping, my consciousness returned home and I got to experience the festival. At least, that’s what I assume happened.

Still, it’s all very strange!

[pureyang]

Is that how it happened? I had heard stories of such things occurring, but I haven’t seen it for myself. That does indeed sound quite strange, even if that is how things work here.

Well, since it already happened, I trust the Irodori festival went well? Perhaps you saw my friend there; he mentioned having a booth to help with his book signing.

[burnbrighter]

It was very weird to wake up with memories I didn’t have when I went to sleep. At first I thought maybe I had a weird dream, but the more I thought about it, the more real it seemed.

Oh, yes! The festival went very well! When you say book signing… does this mean you’re friends with Zhenyu?? That’s really amazing!

[pureyang]

Hmm... That does sound strange. I wonder if the phenomenon is common for others as well. Likening it to a dream within a dream... It is fascinating to discover.

Zhenyu? Oh, yes, his pen name. Yes, that is my friend, although I know him as Xingqiu. I have known him ever since I was young, and he is a dear friend of mine. I am a little disappointed that I was unable to come experience the festival alongside him, but I hope his book signing went well.
