At the flagship bar in Nasha Town, on the night the Moonhunter had defied fate and successfully "won back his wife," the people who had "helped" him were celebrating.
The Moonhunter's exile meant Nod-Krai had successfully weathered the crisis.
So the local Voynich Merchants Guild covered all the expenses for the celebration banquet.
After all, the Frenzied Hunt was wreaking havoc outside, which seriously affected trade routes. Every extra day the disaster lasted cost Nod-Krai's merchants a great deal of money.
That included super-merchants like Dori.
As someone who was never flush with Mora, Lumine naturally wouldn't refuse a free meal.
Despite having plenty of Credits, she couldn't use them directly on the Teyvat Continent and had to make do with the small amount of Mora she'd exchanged during an earlier visit to Mondstadt.
The cash-strapped Astral Express crew naturally wouldn't refuse a treat, either.
Besides, only those involved could attend this celebration, so everyone felt free to let loose.
Even Sunday, who'd stayed behind on the train, had been dragged out. The guests split into several groups around the bar and chatted merrily, while everyone drifted between groups to join in on different conversations.
For example, Himeko, Lauma, and Nephren had formed the mature women's group at the bar. After a couple of drinks, Nephren couldn't help asking about the Astral Express Crew's plans.
Nephren's cheeks were flushed, and she was already tipsy. After raising her glass once more, she asked casually,
"Miss Himeko, now that the Moonhunter crisis has been resolved,
your mission from that Aeon of Permanence is complete. What are you all planning to do next?
Will you stay in Nod-Krai a little longer, or visit another nation?"
Nephren wasn't fishing for information. The Astral Express's purpose in coming to Teyvat had already been made clear.
