Now, back to Makoto.
After Yae Miko left, only he and Ganyu remained in the room.
Logically speaking, the script should have them sitting face to face, then Makoto would say something like, 'These things shouldn't be done by you,'
And also tenderly take Ganyu's hand to check on her fatigue...
The script was perfect!
But at this moment, the token in Ganyu's hand was somewhat glaring, making Makoto's thoughts race.
In his opinion, the token was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
The most pressing matter was to get rid of the token.
"I've been writing a novel about Inazuma recently, and what you're holding is a key item in the plot."
Makoto glanced at the token in Ganyu's hand, his voice as calm and composed as usual,
Because it was also the truth; Makoto had revised Inazuma's plot, where the Traveler relied on the token to withstand the Raiden Shogun's Musou no Hitotachi.
As for why the character of Ye Tiandi was cut,
It was because at that time, Ye Tiandi might not even be in Inazuma, but in Liyue.
Who said kindergartens don't accept boys?
"Oh."
Hearing Makoto's explanation, Ganyu nodded sweetly and innocently.
Ganyu had always trusted Makoto; she would believe every word he said.
Even if Makoto said tomorrow was the end of the world, Ganyu would believe it and immediately prepare.
So, after learning that the token was Makoto's work tool, Ganyu immediately returned it to him.
"Don't, don't just put important things on the table; you need to keep them carefully."
Ganyu quietly reminded Makoto.
Seeing Ganyu's serious expression, as if she were in work mode, Makoto couldn't help but tease, "Alright, Ganyu-daren."
Immediately, a blush spread across Ganyu's pretty face; she was a little embarrassed.
"Others call me Ganyu-daren, but why do you also call me that...?"
"Just, just call me Ganyu."
If it were anyone else, they would have heard Makoto's teasing, but Ganyu took it seriously.
Perhaps in her view, 'Ganyu' and 'Ganyu-daren' were clearly two different forms of address.
The latter sounded distinctly more distant when spoken, and she didn't want to be distant from Makoto, which was why she cared.
"Okay, I'll listen to you then."
Makoto's gaze fell on the token in his hand.
At this point, his suspended heart finally relaxed slightly.
There was a clear difference between the token being in Ganyu's hand and in Makoto's hand.
If it were in Makoto's hand, this time bomb could explode a little later.
In fact, at this moment, he had already prevented the arrival of a'shuraba.'
However, Makoto always felt that this wasn't perfect enough; it should reach a point of sublimation.
"I previously took the Little Ones to the Summer Festival in Inazuma, and there I met several lovely children, such as Sara, Yoimiya, Arataki Itto..."
"Everyone agreed to watch the sunrise together, and when we were on the mountaintop, a friend from the kindergarten gave me this token as a souvenir."
Perhaps Ganyu wouldn't ask how the token came to be, but Makoto couldn't not explain.
Because doing so subtly told Ganyu that Makoto cared deeply about her feelings and was willing to tell her everything.
Actually, Makoto's words were very clever; he said the token was given by a friend from the kindergarten,
But he didn't specify whether it was a Little Cuties from the kindergarten or a teacher.
"Oh." Ganyu listened intently, nodding slowly.
Ganyu was truly sweet and innocent.
Whatever Makoto said, she believed without any doubt.
Following that, the room fell into a long silence.
Makoto sensed the atmosphere was off and immediately stepped forward to check the situation.
"Ganyu, what's wrong?"
Ganyu said somewhat aggrievedly, "We, we haven't watched the sunrise together."
Makoto was stunned for a moment; it turned out Ganyu was jealous.
Her way of being jealous was also very special: she sat there silently, sad, looking pitiful.
"Then let's go watch it; we'll go tomorrow morning."
Ganyu looked up, her gaze meeting Makoto's: "Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you? I never lie!"
As he said this, Makoto's usually unblushing face actually flushed.
Well-intentioned lies don't count as lying; yes, that's it.
Even Barbatos wasn't ashamed; what did he have to be embarrassed about?
"Then it's settled, we'll go watch the sunrise tomorrow morning!"
"Okay."
Ganyu looked up, her eyes sparkling with light, filled with joy like a young girl.
The room fell silent again, but this time the atmosphere was completely different.
Ganyu could clearly feel Makoto's gaze.
Ganyu felt her heart suddenly quicken, thumping non-stop.
She didn't know what to do.
Was this the time to close her eyes?
"Brother Makoto, Auntie is bullying the Little Ones again!"
"Brother Makoto, quickly go manage Auntie..."
At this moment, the Little Cuties's cries came from outside the door.
Ganyu stood up as if electrified, her face flushed as she said to Makoto, "I, I'll go take a look."
"Forget it, I'll go too,"
Makoto sighed.
"The Little Ones came looking for me."
Makoto noted this grudge today!
Sooner or later, he would make that mischievous fox cry and admit she was wrong.
