Late at night, at the Kamisato Family of Shirasagi Himegimi.
"Mr. Faxun, Ningguang isn't sleepy, can I stay up a little later?"
Ningguang, lying on Mr. Faxun's back, asked in a sweet, childish voice.
It wasn't just Ningguang;
the other Little Ones also blinked their big, watery eyes at Mr. Faxun, their gazes filled with pleading.
Although Mr. Faxun was quite susceptible to this, he would not indulge the Little Ones when it came to matters of principle.
Because staying up late would affect the little girls' physical development, he couldn't let these Little Cuties develop bad habits.
"It's already very late now; you must go to sleep."
Mr. Faxun paused, then continued, "Besides, didn't we agree to wake up early tomorrow to watch the sunrise?"
"If you don't go to sleep now and can't wake up then, missing the sunrise, don't you dare cry."
In Mr. Faxun's opinion, since they had finally made it to Inazuma, they should definitely take the time to appreciate Inazuma's scenery.
And watching the sunrise was an excellent choice.
Standing on the mountaintop, overlooking all of Inazuma, feeling the cool summer breeze,
as the first ray of morning sunlight rose from the east, illuminating this city named eternity, the scene should be beautiful.
Sure enough, after hearing Mr. Faxun say they were going to watch the sunrise, all the Little Ones obediently went to bed.
Because they had never watched the sunrise from a mountaintop, especially with Mr. Faxun;
they absolutely couldn't miss something like that!
Soon, these Little Cuties were all tucked into their respective beds.
The Kamisato Family, to make it easier for Mr. Faxun to care for the children, specially prepared a large room and designed it to look like a kindergarten.
The beds where the Little Ones slept were divided into two neat rows, left and right.
Watching the children all go to bed, Mr. Faxun finally revealed a satisfied smile.
Just as he was about to turn off the lights, he heard Ningguang's faint voice from the room.
"Mr. Faxun, can you sing a song to lull Ningguang to sleep? Ningguang is still a little restless."
"Mm-hmm, Shen He also wants to hear Mr. Faxun sing, can you?"
These Little Cuties were now harder to coax.
Before, a bedtime story would have them sleeping soundly.
But now, they would make all sorts of strange requests.
When they grew a bit older, who knew what even more outrageous bedtime demands they would make.
Yet, Mr. Faxun couldn't refuse.
After all, these little girls were all so well-behaved and adorable, and when they acted spoiled, Mr. Faxun's old father's heart almost Melted.
If they wanted the stars from the sky, Mr. Faxun would probably find a way to pluck them down.
To this, Mr. Faxun said with a wry smile, "But I don't sing well."
"It's good, as long as it's Mr. Faxun singing, it's good~"
"That's right, that's right, we love Mr. Faxun's singing!"
Mr. Faxun stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.
"Alright, let me think about what song to sing to lull you to sleep... I've got it, that song."
"Rock, rock, fifteen rocks past the vernal equinox is Grandma's Bridge."
"Longing, longing, sweet calls for Grandma..."
This song, named 'Grandma's Bridge,' was what Mr. Faxun used to fall asleep to before he transmigrated.
In Mr. Faxun's opinion, this song possessed a magical healing power, quite suitable for falling asleep.
Sure enough, under his soft humming, the Little Ones quickly drifted into dreamland.
Taroumaru, curled up at the doorway, was also sound asleep.
...
On the other side, in a secluded small dark room at Yae Publishing House, the lights were bright.
Inside the room, Yae Miko and Raiden Makoto sat facing each other.
Yae Miko was preparing for Mr. Faxun's new book.
After all, the new book was about to be released to the public, so she had to consider every possible issue and arrange everything in advance.
As for Raiden Makoto, she was bored and had come to Yae Miko's place to read light novel.
Although she said she was reading light novel, Raiden Makoto's gaze rarely stayed on the book; more often, she looked up at the window.
Why was the sky outside still completely dark?
When would it finally get light?
The reason Raiden Makoto constantly checked the time outside the window was that Mr. Faxun had agreed to watch the sunrise with her today.
For Raiden Makoto, she would soon leave Inazuma, but there were still many scenic places she hadn't had time to appreciate.
Given this, Mr. Faxun suggested watching the sunrise together in the early morning.
Raiden Makoto gladly agreed.
Now she was waiting, waiting for the sky to lighten.
Then she could go find Mr. Faxun.
At this moment, Yae Miko's voice came from beside her.
"Look at you, so distracted; you don't look like you're reading light novel at all, do you?"
"Although you're staying at Yae Publishing House, your thoughts have long flown elsewhere, haven't they?"
"Alright, alright, if you want to go find Mr. Faxun, then go find him; didn't you two agree to watch the sunrise today? You can go find him now."
Raiden Makoto did want to go find Mr. Faxun, but she glanced at the pitch-black sky outside the window, then shook her head.
"It's still too early for the sunrise; I'm afraid I'll disturb Mr. Faxun's rest if I go now."
Yae Miko rested her chin on her hand, her intelligent eyes looking at Raiden Makoto.
"If you want to become a qualified girlfriend, you must first learn to find your own food."
"Huh?"
Raiden Makoto's eyes showed confusion.
"Never mind, if you don't understand, then don't."
"Anyway, just go directly to Mr. Faxun; he's definitely not asleep at this hour."
