With Makoto's talismans, Qiqi can now go out during the day without any issues.
However, he could clearly feel the Liyue citizens' occasional strange glances.
Those glances held surprise and curiosity,
but most people looked at Qiqi with fear, as if he were an anomaly.
This made Qiqi very sad.
He didn't want to scare the citizens, so every time he went out during the day, he would act cautiously and try to be as low-key as possible.
If he did attract attention, he would try his best to be friendly.
After a while, Qiqi felt uncomfortable.
Being constantly watched with wary eyes made him very uneasy.
Qiqi really wanted to go out at night.
He wanted to go out when it was late and quiet, and there was no one on the streets.
Because only then would he not have to worry about scaring others,
nor would he feel those unfriendly glances anymore.
Hearing Qiqi's request, Makoto didn't even think about it and immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay."
For Makoto, he would try his best to fulfill every request from a member of his family.
For no other reason than these Little One were family members.
At this moment,
Little Ayaka also appeared at the doorway.
She hugged Makoto's other arm and said playfully, "Makoto Gege, can I go out with you two?"
"I... also want to explore Liyue."
It should be known that Little Ayaka had lived in Inazuma since she was little.
She had only occasionally heard people talk about the two nations of Mondstadt and Liyue.
She heard that Mondstadt was covered in dandelions, and the wind of freedom blew throughout Mondstadt.
And Liyue was a city of trade.
Besides its weighty rocks, Liyue emphasized the execution of a contract.
Liyue's architecture was also very distinctive.
Especially the Lantern Rite.
Ayaka had only heard about it, but she didn't know much, and it was very vague.
Now that she had finally come to Liyue, she naturally wanted to take this opportunity to get to know this city-state well.
Looking at the Little One's watery big eyes, Makoto didn't know how to refuse.
After all, Little Ayaka even dreamed of Ayato leaving home and Makoto becoming her brother.
Just based on the weight of this in her heart, Makoto had no reason to refuse.
"Alright, then let's go out and explore."
Hearing Makoto agree, Little Ayaka happily hugged his arm.
"I knew it, Makoto Gege is the best! I love Makoto Gege the most!"
Makoto looked at the situation, somewhat amused and helpless.
How could the future Damselette of the Shirasagi Himegimi also seem a bit naive and adorable?
Just agreeing to go shopping with her made her cheer with joy.
Perhaps all children are like this, easily satisfied.
Soon, the three of them left the house under the moonlight.
Liyue had already undergone tremendous changes, and Qiqi felt both strange and familiar with the city.
Little Ayaka, of course, was even more so; it was her first time in Liyue, and everything here was so amazing to her.
On the other hand, Makoto, the outsider, gradually became familiar with the city after staying in Liyue for a while.
He acted as a guide, explaining the current Liyue to Ayaka and Qiqi.
"That's the Port, Little Ayaka, you came by boat from there."
"Eh, Qiqi, you're asking where the coconut milk comes from? Hmm... that's the location of Yuehai Pavilion, I get my stock from there."
"You can only get one bottle at a time; if you exceed that, there won't be any left, so you have to drink it sparingly."
Makoto held the hands of the two little ones and walked slowly down the street.
The moonlight stretched their shadows long.
Unlike the bustling daytime of Liyue,
the night of Liyue had a few more touches of tranquil beauty.
The moonlight quietly spilled onto every brick and tile of Liyue, as if silently narrating the stories of these thousands of years.
Little Ayaka looked up at Makoto and asked curiously, "Makoto Gege, what kind of god is Lord of Geo?"
She grew up in Inazuma and only knew about the Raiden Shogun.
But for the two gods of Mondstadt and Liyue, Little Ayaka had no concept.
Makoto instinctively wanted to say that Morax was an old schemer.
He spent every day thinking about how to retire and slack off.
And he liked to spend Mora and make others pay.
However, these words reached his lips, and Makoto swallowed them back down.
Although Morax was now lying flat and slacking off, his contribution to the construction of Liyue was undeniable.
Makoto looked up at the sky and couldn't help but sigh, "You're asking about Lord of Geo...
"I don't know much about him. If I had to guess, his personality might be like an old-fashioned person, and he's particularly meticulous in doing things."
"But overall, he should be a good person, at least he has managed Liyue quite well."
Speaking of Morax's governance of Liyue, a Damselette's figure subconsciously appeared in Makoto's mind.
Keqing Ke Shifu, who cuts down all kinds of monsters.
Despite being one of the Liyue Seven Stars, she was quite dissatisfied with Morax's governing methods and lacked reverence.
In Keqing's view, the current Liyue no longer needed the governance of adepti.
The Liyue Seven Stars alone were already completely sufficient.
Perhaps Keqing was the only one who dared to openly defy the Lord of Geo?
That girl was very tsundere; interacting with him should be quite interesting.
Speaking of which, Xiao Keqing shouldn't be very old now.
Despite being a noble young lady, she wanted to experience life.
Was she mining coal or moving bricks?
Makoto's thoughts suddenly stopped.
Because he saw a little girl not far away.
The little girl was wearing a purple dress.
The dress looked luxurious and noble; even the fabric used was the highest quality in Liyue.
The girl also had cat ear ornaments on her head, and an old, somewhat worn hairpin.
Although her pretty face was still childish, it was not hard to see that she would surely grow into a beautiful girl in the future.
When Makoto first saw the girl, his immediate reaction was, isn't this Keqing Ke Shifu?
He didn't expect to meet Keqing while taking a walk at night.
What was Keqing doing up so late at night, not sleeping?
I've checked a lot of information, but I don't know much about Keqing's background story.
I'm quite unsure, but I'll try my best to write Keqing well.
Although Ke Shifu's DMG is low, his long black legs look good.
Finally, everyone, get some rest early.
