Makoto suddenly felt that occasionally teasing Ganyu was quite interesting, and the time spent at the night market flew by.
It wasn't until the Little Ones started yawning that Makoto took everyone back to the inn.
Before returning to her room, Ningguang turned to look at Makoto: "Good night, Makoto Gege!"
Kamisato Ayaka stepped forward and instructed: "Makoto Gege should rest early, I'm going to bed."
Qiqi, holding Taroumaru's hand, kept waving: "See you tomorrow... Makoto..."
Makoto also patiently bid good night to each Little One.
After all this was done, Makoto saw Ganyu still standing at her room door, apparently waiting for him.
"Ganyu, what's wrong?" Makoto walked over and asked.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow we'll go watch the sunrise."
Ganyu was worried Makoto would forget about watching the sunrise, so she stayed there specifically to remind him.
When talking about watching the sunrise, Ganyu was full of anticipation, like a young girl.
Makoto nodded: "Okay, I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."
At this moment, Ganyu asked again: "Didn't you tell Ningguang and the others about watching the sunrise?"
She thought back carefully; Makoto didn't seem to have mentioned it to anyone. Had he forgotten?
Upon hearing this, Makoto gently shook his head: "I didn't plan on calling those Little Ones, because they can't get up in the morning anyway. It's better to let them sleep in."
Makoto recalled the last time they watched the sunrise; the Little Ones waking up early only resulted in them being sleepy all day.
Watching the sunrise was like self-torture; one experience was enough, there was no need for more.
Wouldn't it be better to use that time to sleep?
"Mm-hmm." Ganyu nodded lightly, and after a brief chat with Makoto, returned to her room.
However, just as Makoto was about to leave, Ganyu's door opened again.
Her hurried appearance made Makoto think there was something important she hadn't said.
"Good, good night."
After saying this, Ganyu returned to her room.
Makoto stood in place for a while, then smiled.
She had already returned to her room, yet she specifically ran out just to say good night. Ganyu was simply adorably silly.
Immediately after, Makoto returned to his own room and began planning his itinerary.
Tomorrow, after watching the sunrise with Ganyu, he would guide Eula in swordsmanship.
It seemed he still had plenty of time.
Of course, the most important thing now was to find the 'Witch's Treasure'.
After all, opening the treasure chest could yield three intertwined fates, which was quite appealing to Makoto.
As for why he was going out now,
Because he had to take care of the children during the day, Makoto had no time to go out.
He could only go out treasure hunting when the Little Ones were resting.
Lisa had once told Makoto that the treasure was located between Thousand Winds Temple and Starsnatch Cliff.
With a general search area, finding the treasure shouldn't be difficult.
The only problem now was that Makoto lacked a guide. Who should he find?
Amber was definitely out of the question; it wasn't appropriate for little girls to go out so late.
As for Eula, there was even less to say; that child was already asleep.
At this moment, Venti's figure slowly appeared in Makoto's mind.
That old fox Venti had been slacking off all day; it was time for him to do something.
Makoto came to Venti's room and knocked on the door.
"Venti, I suddenly feel like having a drink. Shall we go to the tavern?"
The moment the words fell, the door opened with a bang.
The speed at which the door opened made Makoto suspect that Venti was right behind the door, but he also noticed that Venti was barefoot on the wooden floor, indicating that Venti was probably lying on the bed before.
This drunken poet truly loved good wine.
Hearing about going for a drink, he didn't even bother to put on his shoes, opening the door for Makoto first.
"Mr. Faxun, is that true? Are we going for a drink?" Venti's eyes shone with light.
Only when drinking was mentioned would his eyes sparkle with such light.
"Fake. I was just checking if you were asleep."
"Since you're not asleep, come out with me."
Makoto understood Venti too well.
If he had just asked normally, Venti would probably have feigned sleep to get out of it.
But if drinking was brought up, Venti, this drunken poet, would 100% respond.
As the words fell, Venti froze for a moment.
He probably didn't expect Makoto's tactics to be so deep,
Using 'going to the tavern' to determine if he was asleep.
Even the weak, pitiful, and helpless Anemo Archon was deceived. How outrageous!
Was this a moral decay or a distortion of human nature?
Venti thought to himself that he must write Makoto's evil deeds into a song and sing it day and night.
This would serve as a warning to future generations: not even Makoto's punctuation marks could be trusted!
Guard against fire, guard against thieves, guard against Makoto!
"Here, this bottle is your payment for tonight."
Makoto didn't have mind-reading abilities and didn't know Venti's thoughts, so he handed the wine bottle to Venti.
Makoto knew very well that 'wanting a horse to run without feeding it grass' was definitely unrealistic.
He had to let Venti get the wine bottle first, then he would be proactive.
"Mr. Faxun, you are really too kind."
"Isn't it just accompanying you out? This is a small matter. Isn't giving me wine being too formal?"
"Even without wine, I would be happy to go out with you!"
Looking at the wine bottle in Makoto's hand, Venti's attitude immediately changed.
He wished he could immediately write Makoto's good deeds into a ballad and sing it day and night.
However, when he took the wine bottle from Makoto's hand, Venti froze.
The weight of this bottle was wrong; it felt light when lifted.
"Mr. Faxun, why is the bottle empty?"
Makoto spread his hands: "I didn't say there was wine in the bottle. I just thought this bottle looked good, so I gave it to you."
"Venti, didn't you just say that you would come out with me even without wine?"
Venti:...
He silently emphasized in his heart that not even Makoto's punctuation marks could be trusted.
"The wine is at the inn entrance. The little girls don't allow me to bring wine into the inn."
Seeing Venti's crestfallen face, Makoto stopped teasing him and explained the situation.
Venti followed Makoto to the inn entrance and saw three full bottles of dandelion wine.
Makoto looked at Venti: "Can we set off now?"
Venti nodded heavily: "Of course, no problem, Mr. Faxun, where are we going?"
"To find treasure."
