Chill with us!

The Shivada Jade Gemstone was still in his possession, and he wasn't sure what to do with it.
After killing the Cryo Regisvine, this gemstone dropped as some sort of mineral residue of its core.
(The gemstone could be grinded into powder and consumed to increase the potency of a Cryo Vision Avatar...So is it basically an upgrade for a Cryo Vision User? I see no other possible use for it. The only Cryo user I've met was Kaeya. I might give it to him as a gift or something. No...wait...)
Kaeya wasn't the only Cryo User he met.
There was one more person...
A person he wasn't very fond of meeting in the first place, actually.
(There is still that bitch from Mondstadt who defended her uncle. Eula or something... Then again, I wouldn't give it to her in the first place so it doesn't really matter.)
Remembering her face only brought back bad memories, so Yomite forced himself to put those thoughts aside.
He still planned on paying that uncle of hers back in the near future though.
(What an asshole that was.)
He glanced at the clerk and noticed her peering out suspiciously behind the counter at him again.
"I would like to ask, do you have any idea how to restore the text on this gemstone," He handed it to her, "It's one of the items I found during my adventures, I would pay you well if you could repair it."
She took the gemstone and looked at it closely. As soon as she did, her expression shifted into shock.
"Isn't this from an adult Cryo Regisvine!?" she exclaimed, a touch of fear coloring her tone. "...and a gemstone in a near perfect quality..."
"Eh...?"
"…I can't imagine...How did you manage to collect such a rare gemstone from a monster that old! How is that even possible!? They usually drop small fragments if they even drop anything at all...and even those small fragments are sold for a fortune! This huge chunk can easily buy you a piece of land in Liyue!"
"Is that...sort of a big deal?"
Yomite was in the dark on why this jewel had such importance.
He believed he had more than enough money to buy a piece of land at any time, but why would he do so when he already had a mansion?
Still, the fact that it was expensive brought him joy.
"A big deal? A big deal!? It's an adult.....an adult Regisvine core...of course it's a big deal! Are you dumb!?" She growled at him, now in visible anger, "There is no more than twenty people in Liyue who could hunt a monster that strong! In all of Liyue!"
Yomite furrowed his eyebrows. Something seemed oddly off about that statement.
(Was it truly that strong? Sure, we fought it as a group, but I'm sure all of us could take it on alone after so much training in the past months. It's not impossible...)
"...Erm, either way...thank you for explaining."
He wasn't really sure why she was so mad at him though, so he decided not to push the issue.
Of course he would be clueless about a lot of stuff, it's been only about five or so months ever since he'd arrived to this world, while the woman in front of him had lived here her whole life...
"You are welcome. But honestly! What kind of idiot would choose to battle with such a dangerous creature?!"
"..."
She continued staring at him for a moment before she sighed and replied, "I don't know where or how a dork like you got this from, but this is priceless. Not only is it an expensive material for alchemists, it's also used to make special artifact jewelry...and to top it off...there seems to be some history, written on the back...Is that what you wanted me to repair?"
"Yeah, if possible, I'd appreciate that."
He was getting annoyed by her attitude by now and how impolite she acted, but seeing that she most likely knew far more about this topic than him made him shut his mouth for now.
"Alright, I should be done in a few days. What should I do with the residue of the gemstone?" She inquired, holding the gemstone carefully between her hands.
"Residue?"
"Once I successfully polish it, there's bound to be a lot of dust or remains after I'm done. Do you want me to scrap them, or should I keep them for alchemy? You don't look like an alchemist, but the remains are still very much valuable."
Yomite saw no harm in keeping the residue, so he agreed.
"Hm... I have no alchemy skills, but I want to ask...is it possible to turn the remains into a jewelry instead?"
She tilted her head slightly and replied, "Perhaps. If I'm allowed, it should be done with ease. What kind of jewelry would you like? A bracelet or a necklace?"
"If possible I'd prefer you to make two rings."
Her eyes widened, "…why two rings?"
"For two of my lovers. I was thinking of... making them happy soon."
There went the pride in his voice, that two amazing women wanted to spend the rest of their lives with him.
"Two...lovers...?..." She muttered in disbelief.
"Yeah, two," Yomite repeated without elaborating further.
It was a personal issue and nothing anyone else needed to know in detail.
She eyed him inquisitively for a moment, like she was evaluating whether or not he truly meant it.
"Um, hm. W-Well then…let me think about it. Please come again next week when it will be finished..."
Yomite nodded at her, before asking, "Do you need to know the size for the rings?"
"No, it will be adjustable. Adjustable setting is getting popular lately, therefore I'll do it like that."
While she was keeping a straight face in front of him, deep down inside of her mind, the clerk was screaming.
(This man isn't a Normie?! He is a Monster Normie!!! Two women!? Two!? Polygamy in Liyue!? No...he must be from Mondstadt...There is no other explanation...)
