"For me?" Makoto was stunned for a moment.
Ningguang risked danger to pick glaze lily, not to earn Mora, but to give it to him?
Ningguang nodded and gave a soft hum of agreement.
"Because when we were in Inazuma, Brother Makoto gave Ningguang a souvenir."
"At that time, Ningguang thought that she should also give Brother Makoto a souvenir."
"This kind of glaze lily is rare, so it should count as a souvenir, right?"
Makoto remembered. Ever since their trip to Inazuma ended, Ningguang had been searching everywhere, not knowing what she was looking for.
Every time Makoto asked her what she was searching for, the little girl wouldn't say.
So it turned out she was looking for a souvenir for Makoto.
That silly little girl probably felt that since Makoto was good to her, she had to be good to him in return.
So, even though the wild glaze lily grew on steep cliffs, she still risked it to pick them.
Ningguang liked Mora very much, but she liked Makoto even more.
For a moment, Makoto felt a complex mix of emotions.
He hadn't expected that everything Ningguang did was for him.
Makoto looked at Ningguang with a gentle gaze: "Ningguang, thank you for the souvenir, I really like it."
"But you can't act recklessly again in the future, okay?"
Ningguang nodded and replied in her milky voice: "Okay, Ningguang won't do that again in the future. Let's make a pinky promise."
Makoto looked at the glaze lily in his hand and decided to make it into a specimen, because that way it would last longer.
Of course, Makoto hadn't forgotten that he wanted to give Ningguang a surprise upon his return.
He deliberately said to Ningguang: "Little One, I'm a very forgetful person, and I lose things easily."
"So, please keep this souvenir safe for me. I'll ask for it when I need it. Don't you have a box specifically for collecting things?"
Ningguang, innocent and naive, didn't even think about it and took the specimen directly.
"Then I will put this souvenir in the Qunyu Pavilion and keep it safe for Brother Makoto."
For Ningguang, the Qunyu Pavilion was currently just a small storage box.
The castle in the sky that Makoto had described to her was something the little girl had never dared to imagine because it was too far away.
It was so distant that she didn't even dare to think about it; it was a dream she could never reach in this lifetime.
At this moment, Makoto feigned confusion and asked: "Qunyu Pavilion, what is that?"
Ningguang, who had originally stopped crying, began to cry even harder now.
Back then, Brother Makoto had described so many wonderful things about the Qunyu Pavilion to her, so how could Brother Makoto have forgotten it all now?
Could it be that those promises were just to trick a child?
Had Brother Makoto never taken them to heart at all?
Ningguang cried very sadly because Brother Makoto had forgotten the promise they had made back then.
Watching the cute little girl wailing, Makoto quickly said: "I'm teasing you, I'm teasing you."
"I have always remembered the promise of the Qunyu Pavilion, and I have already built it for you."
Ningguang's long eyelashes were still wet with teardrops, and those magnificent, bright eyes looked at Makoto.
"Really?"
