A Painting Open for Business

Look. Very spacious for a Backyard, right?

The mountain has terrific environment. Crops grow faster and yield better harvests. Some ingredients only grow here as well.

We use the harvests to make food for our menu. Every dish is a Yuanyuan special.

Ah, yeah, well... We got some ingredients left in the pantry. I got a bit lazy and haven't sowed the seeds.

But if you wanna grow something, just place the plots and let Auto-Farmer over there take care of the rest, dear patron.

If you're interested, we can head over for a closer look. And once you're done, I'll tell you more about beast pens.

A machine jointly developed by Wuling Tianshi Bureau Academy and Endfield. I bet it arrived when it heard you're here. Even the bot wants to help.

This is a Pen. A special place for raising beasts without needing to worry about them wandering off.

Make sure the feed is available and you'll regularly receive food ingredients.

Why don't you try it out? It's pretty fun.

Oh! My dear patron! Why didn't you tell us that you're visiting?

Nothing much, actually... And since our favorite patron is here, it's really nothing much anymore.

So our Lady told us that Endfield is sending people over to help. But you know, this inn has not received outsiders for quite a while...

I was worried about the quality of our reception to your Endfielders. If services are bad, you will be unhappy. And if you are unhappy, our Lady will be unhappy.

But I have to be realistic. Ugh. I did ask our Lady. She did say if our dear patron...

Ahem...

If our dear patron is here, everything would be set in order to ensure that every Endfielder is served PROPERLY!

Oh? Does my presence here come as a surprise?

That being said, I've heard that Endfield is sending their operators to help. I must be here in person to welcome them.

Why? Is this a place that I shouldn't be visiting?

I heard that Endfield operators have arrived at the Inn, so I wanted to see how they're holding up. Didn't expect you to arrive first.

Wonderful! Our dear patron is here to save the day!

You're here to help? Then ... I'll let you run my inn. Nothing too challenging, actually. It'll give you some exercise for your physical rehab.

Innkeeping isn't that complicated. Just set the menu of the day, prep the ingredients, then open the inn for the visiting patrons.

You probably won't remember every single step if I kept droning on. Maybe we should try handling some work at the Main Hall.

Not bad. Quick on your feet and skilled with your hands. I almost thought you'd be fumbling around in confusion.

Don't get too full of yourself. Innkeeping takes a lot more than this.

What's next? Let me show you the Backyard, dear patron. We skipped the details last time, so this is a great opportunity to catch up...

Hmm? Skipped the details last time?

Of course! It's my job!

Yeah. And that's everything about the Backyard. I have to head back to the Main Hall. Can't let our Lady wait too long.

The inn *is* actually an important matter to our Lady.

In her own words, our Lady said she didn't provide Endfield with inn access so she could just relax while our Endfielder friends do the hard work.

Alright. I'll be heading back.

If you're missing things like seeds, fertilizers and other stuff, come talk to me.

Most of them, actually. Some of the plants have yet to be domesticated. You'll have to forage for them in the mountains.

Hmm... The Backyard is not quite at its full potential. We hardly have any guests, so I hardly spent time to work on it.

But if you're going to stick around and help, we'll get the Backyard cleaned up and make it more productive.

If you're ready to get things moving, come talk to me. I'm usually the one running the Inn for our Lady, so I naturally know more than the other two.

That's it for now. We can talk about the rest later. That crate still has some food left in it. It's yours.

And pay close attention when hiking the local mountains. You might find other crates like it.

Back so soon, my dear patron? Something I can do to help? Feel free to ask.

A whole lot. Take a look and see what you need.

If run low on these supplies, come back to me any time.

Oh, silly me! I almost forgot something! It's super important!

We just went through things about the Inn and the Backyard.

But that's not all. If you need details while running the Inn, come by the Main Desk.

In fact, interact with it right now if you're interested. The Main Desk has every bit of information about the Inn.

"Witty" will take over if I'm off doing something else. We do our best to serve every patron.

(Hmhmph)

Probably not the thing you're thinking about. Our Lady actually prepared it for the Endfield operators coming to help the inn.

Our Lady said you once visited this place for therapy. She even said the sight of this thing might get you working on something again.

However, without this facility and the power it supplies, your Endfielders might have trouble working at this place.

Glad it could help. If you want, give it a try and see how it compares to the one you usually use.

I'll wait for you at the plot. Come find me when you're done here. There's plenty to do in the backyard.
