As Makoto gently pushed open the room door, he immediately heard a weak greeting from inside.
"Makoto... Good morning."
It was Qiqi who greeted Makoto.
Due to his constitution, Qiqi doesn't need to sleep.
In addition, since he started learning the shuttlecock dance with Makoto, Qiqi's body has become very flexible, and he doesn't need to do exercises all night every day.
So on many nights, the Little One would lie on the bed, blinking his peach-colored eyes, staring out the window in a daze.
Now, seeing Makoto enter the room, Qiqi quickly got up from the bed.
Seeing the adorable Qiqi, Makoto felt his mood improve significantly today.
He also smiled and greeted him, "Qiqi, good morning."
As his words fell, another sweet, childish voice came from the room, "Brother Makoto, good morning ~"
It was Sara who spoke.
Little Sara sat up from the bed and waved to Makoto.
Looking at Sara, who was the first to wake up, Makoto was very surprised, "Sara, how did you wake up?"
Sara smiled and explained, "Because I'm usually a light sleeper, I wake up with the slightest disturbance."
"So when Brother Makoto pushed open the room door, I woke up."
Hearing Sara's explanation, Makoto understood.
Because Sara grew up in the mountains since he was a child,
He could encounter danger at any time in the mountains, which also made Sara develop a vigilant habit; any movement would startle him awake.
"Little Sara, since you're up, go brush your teeth and wash your face first. I'll wake up the other Little Ones."
"Okay, Brother Makoto, I'm going to brush my teeth!"
Sara originally didn't know how to brush his teeth, and even if he wanted to, there were no such facilities in the mountains.
Makoto taught him everything by hand.
Fortunately, Sara was also very intelligent; Makoto didn't spend much time teaching Sara how to wash up.
Immediately after, Makoto went to wake up the other children.
He walked to Little Ayaka's bedside and then softly said, "Little One, get up and watch the sunrise. Didn't you always want me to watch the sunrise with you?"
Hearing Makoto's call, Little Ayaka groggily sat up from the bed.
She still looked half-asleep, confusedly saying, "Is Teyvat going to be destroyed?"
Then she lay back down and fell asleep.
Looking at Little Ayaka's inexplicable sleep talk, Makoto couldn't help but laugh.
"What is that about? What kind of things does this Little One dream about?"
He tried calling Little Ayaka again.
"Little One, get up, let's go watch the sunrise."
Little Ayaka was still half-asleep, her voice lazy, "Mmm..."
The Little One's current state was: he was up, but not completely.
To this, Makoto continued to press, "Can you hear me speak?"
"Mmm..."
Listening to Ayaka's somewhat groggy voice, Makoto wasn't sure if she was truly awake.
"Then tell me, who am I?"
"Mmm..."
Alright, no matter what Makoto asked, the Little One would only answer "Mmm."
It seemed she hadn't fully woken up yet.
It's understandable, the Little Ones went to bed late last night, and now they have to get up early, which is indeed not easy.
Looking at Little Ayaka's adorable appearance, Makoto couldn't help but laugh.
"What a silly Little Turtle."
"Mmm..."
A moment later, the Little One retorted in a sweet, childish voice, "No, I'm not!"
"Hmm?"
Now it was Makoto's turn to be confused.
"Ayaka is not a Little Turtle, she's Brother Makoto's Little Treasure."
The Little One was clearly not fully awake, yet her tone was so serious.
Her words amused Makoto, who gently asked, "You're my Little Treasure?"
"Mmm... When I grow up, I want to... I want to stick to Brother Makoto."
"What if I don't let you stick to me?"
"Then I'll bite you... Like this, 'ao wu ao wu' bite."
The Little One was adorably fierce, looking very cute.
Makoto rubbed Kamisato Ayaka's head and said with a smile, "You, Little One, have such trouble getting up, you should just save your energy."
Little Ayaka snorted indignantly, "I'll get up! I want to go watch the sunrise with Brother Makoto."
After chatting with Makoto for a while, the Little One gradually became more clear-headed.
Immediately after, Makoto went to wake Ningguang.
"Ningguang still wants to sleep... but he wants to go watch fireworks with Brother Makoto even more."
Ningguang rubbed his eyes, clearly exhausted, but still forced himself to stay awake,
Because he didn't want to miss any memorable moment with Makoto.
Immediately after, Makoto went to wake Keqing, Shenhe, and Beidou.
These three Little Ones usually wake up early to practice martial arts, so there's no problem with them oversleeping.
So they got up very quickly.
All the Little Ones from Liyue Kindergarten were now awake, and after meeting up with Raiden Makoto, a long line of kindergarteners headed towards the mountaintop.
They were going to the mountaintop to watch the sunrise.
Fortunately, the path to the mountaintop wasn't difficult to climb, and with Makoto using An element power to assist from behind,
This made it less strenuous for the Little Ones to walk the mountain path, and they successfully reached the mountaintop before sunrise.
Just then, an enthusiastic voice of a little girl came from ahead.
"It's you guys! We meet again! Are you also here to watch the sunrise?"
"Come quickly, come quickly! I know a good spot, it's perfect for watching the sunrise!"
Hearing the voice, Makoto instinctively looked up.
He saw that the person standing there was Yoimiya.
Yoimiya waved at them, her face beaming with an enthusiastic smile.
