"After all, Sister Natasha is such an unremarkable gloomy woman~"
Sparkle spoke ill of Natasha with the expression of a smug little brat.
Everyone merely took it as entertainment. Sparkle was obviously stirring things up; anyone who took her seriously had already lost.
"Just like how some people are still hung up on things like the girlfriend or maid persona."
"Welcome back, Mr. Liu Bai."
Gray Serpent walked over at that moment, his hoarse voice carrying a courteous respect.
"Do you have any plans for this return?"
"...A few."
Liu Bai took two steps outside and looked at Sparkle, who had started indiscriminately taunting everyone, with a slight headache.
"Does Sky Dome Zone have any festival plans coming up?"
"Yes."
"When?"
"When would you like it to be?"
...Wasn't that exactly why Gray Serpent was so good at handling things?
Clearly, there had been no festival planned for the area lately, but Gray Serpent had deftly sidestepped that point.
Liu Bai asking that obviously meant he wanted one!
"Wouldn't that cause trouble?"
"No. On the contrary, it could promote commercial prosperity and stimulate consumption in a short time."
Gray Serpent continued to reassure Liu Bai, though it wasn't really flattery, since it was true.
It was just that promoting commerce and stimulating consumption weren't necessary for World Serpent and had little to do with their pharmaceutical industry. But if the big boss wanted to hear some good news, then they would do it. It was an inconsequential good deed, not some atrocious wrongdoing.
"Then make some preparations."
"What kind of festival would you like? A Japanese-style one, a Shenzhou market temple fair, or something like Halloween?"
Gray Serpent's attitude was simple: whatever you wanted, he could provide.
"Something a little Japanese... like fireworks." Liu Bai glanced at Sparkle again.
"Understood."
