Anime chat group , you let me come only after the world is destroyed?

Takumi followed behind Keqing, strolling through Liyue Harbor.

Many shop entrances were already decorated with lanterns in anticipation of the Lantern Rite. Everywhere had discounts and sales going on.

Takumi looked at everything with great interest.

He had only experienced the Lantern Rite in the game, never in real life.

Perhaps this time, he could fully enjoy the festivities.

Keqing noticed his interest and couldn't help but comment:

"You've never experienced our Lantern Rite, have you?"

"Then this year, you definitely need to enjoy it. The Lantern Rite is really lively. Lots of people from Teyvat come to join."

It would be a shame to miss such a traditional festival.

Keqing started enthusiastically recommending the festival to Takumi.

Takumi nodded.

"I'll definitely come. And when I do, you have to show me around."

A wide smile spread across his face.

You're not going to ditch me, are you? If you're not there, it's no fun.

Keqing was briefly stunned by Takumi's comment but quickly agreed.

"Alright! If you come, I'll definitely show you around. I'll be your personal tour guide."

She didn't think too deeply about it and accepted immediately.

As they wandered through Liyue Harbor, they ran into some familiar faces.

Xingqiu and Chongyun.

The two were also out for a stroll and were a bit surprised to see Takumi and Keqing.

"Mr. Takumi? Miss Keqing? Are you two shopping?"

Xingqiu greeted them quickly, not expecting to run into these two.

Keqing usually didn't work in Liyue Harbor, and Takumi almost never visited.

So this meeting was pure chance.

"Yo, Miss Xingqiu and Young Master Chongyun! Long time no see."

Takumi greeted them with a grin.

Hearing the title "Miss Xingqiu," Xingqiu nearly cracked.

Ever since arriving in this world, many had mistaken him for a girl.

Some even joked that he should just be one—and with the tech in Takumi's world, changing genders was actually very easy.

If Xingqiu was willing, it could be done in minutes.

"I am NOT a miss! Damn it, could you not joke like that?"

Xingqiu looked exasperated.

Keqing nodded slightly to them but remained quiet, watching silently.

"Are you sure you're not? Really?"

Takumi asked with a mischievous smile.

Suddenly, something began to change.

Just as Xingqiu was about to speak, Chongyun stared at him in shock.

Xingqiu's Adam's apple disappeared.

His hair started growing longer.

And certain parts of his body... began to develop.

Chongyun blushed furiously.

Xingqiu suddenly felt a heavy sensation on his chest. Looking down, he screamed.

"AHHH!!!"

A sharp shriek filled the air.

"What's wrong, Miss Xingqiu?"

Takumi beamed at the now-feminine Xingqiu.

With just a thought, Takumi had transformed him.

Xingqiu stared at him in terror.

"Change me back!! Chongyun, stop looking at me like that! Miss Keqing, say something! Tell him to change me back!!"

She was about to cry—and ironically, that teary look only made her more adorable.

Female Xingqiu was easily as beautiful as Keqing.

Chongyun couldn't stop staring.

In his mind flashed memes like:

"My bro turned into a girl and I couldn't be happier."

"If your best friend suddenly became a girl, what would you do?"

Algorithms always knew your hidden interests.

Chongyun was no exception.

At that moment, he felt like his dream had come true.

Wait... no. This wasn't right!

"Okay, enough. Don't scare the poor guy."

Keqing was speechless watching the scene.

Look at how terrified Xingqiu was—give him a break.

Takumi chuckled and finally reversed the transformation.

Once back to normal, Xingqiu looked at Takumi in horror.

That experience had clearly traumatized him.

He'd probably run the next time he saw Takumi.

After chatting for a while, Takumi and Keqing left.

Only then did Xingqiu let out a sigh of relief.

"That scared the hell out of me! I really thought I was stuck as a girl."

Takumi had given him a terrifying glimpse into girlhood—an experience he never wanted again.

Chongyun, however, spoke up.

"Actually... I thought it was kinda nice. Maybe if you were a girl, it'd be pretty great."

A strange feeling stirred within him.

His words gave Xingqiu the chills.

"Don't joke like that!!"

What the hell?! Chongyun had those kinds of thoughts too?

This was getting way too creepy.

Something about you isn't right, man. Not right at all.

The two immediately started arguing.

Xingqiu swore he would never become a woman.

...

"You've got some twisted humor. Doing something like that to him..."

Keqing looked at Takumi with a face full of disbelief.

Did he realize how much psychological damage he'd just caused?

That was way too much.

"It was just a prank. Letting him taste the life of a lady for a moment."

"Honestly, I think he makes a great Miss Xingqiu. He really does look like a girl."

Damn you, HoYoverse, for not making Xingqiu a girl.

Such a missed opportunity.

Teyvat lost a potential beauty.

Keqing rolled her eyes at his words.

You really said that with a straight face?

If Xingqiu heard this, he'd probably go berserk.

Still, when she thought about it—Takumi wasn't wrong.

Xingqiu had been beautiful since childhood.

Many in Liyue Harbor lamented the fact that the second young master of the Feiyun Commerce Guild wasn't actually a young lady.

If he had been, marriage proposals would be piling up at their doorstep.
