As the [Divine Priestess], she must understand the cruelty of reality and also have her own understanding of people's hearts.
She could gently take care of others, and also snuggle up to you because her own social energy was insufficient…
Thinking about it this way, Kokomi really did fit the old uncle's pursuit of a partner quite well. Being able to pull her strongly proved that their XP matched.
In terms of personality, they could indeed complement each other, and both were the type who, although they handled big matters, actually had mostly small daily things in their hearts…
They could take care of each other, and there would be no situation of energy shortage when the two of them were together.
After all, little Kokomi's immature inner self, to the old uncle…
The immaturity that you feel ashamed of is, in my eyes, a treasure that I want to keep in my heart for a lifetime.
"Old uncle, mm… keep it up!"
Little Kokomi watched the old uncle swimming as slowly as a turtle and considerately slowed down her own swimming speed.
Well, what a pity that they were born at the wrong time.
Little Kokomi… was truly still too young right now.
"Little Kokomi, move aside a bit. This old uncle is going to perform a brute-force miracle!"
Little Kokomi obediently swam a little farther away…
Then she saw the old uncle performing a brute-force miracle by swimming backward…
"Old uncle, how about… we start with playing in the water first?"
"I think that's fine. When it comes to playing in the water, I actually know how to do a few things — diving, front somersaults, back somersaults…"
The subsequent result was…
Little Kokomi dove to the bottom, while the old uncle felt he ran out of air and floated back up.
When trying somersaults in the water, the old uncle got his nose severely choked by seawater…
In the end…
"Little Kokomi, I've really troubled you, haha…"
After persisting with his brute-force miracle swimming style, the old uncle finally succeeded in swimming himself to exhaustion. He floated on the sea surface and let little Kokomi pull him back to shore with great effort.
"It's fine. I feel like I had a lot of fun swimming today."
Little Kokomi did not feel that anything was wrong.
If there was anything to say…
I swam past Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou. I'm really amazing.
The old uncle gave up.
Embarrassing. It was truly too embarrassing.
In terms of swimming stamina, he actually could not compare to little Kokomi…
Fortunately, he had long since gotten used to not being able to compare with children in various things.
When it came to holding funerals, he was inferior to little Hu Tao. When it came to cooking, he was inferior to little Xiangling. When it came to making desserts, he was inferior to little Eula. When it came to singing, he was inferior to little Barbara. When it came to flower arranging, he was inferior to little Ayaka…
Having one more thing — swimming — where he was inferior to little Kokomi was not a big deal either.
In the end, the old uncle lay sprawled on the beach with not a single bit of strength left…
Well, let me lie here for a while. I just came out of the seawater, and my body feels so heavy.
"Huh? Old uncle, my towel is gone!"
The old uncle suddenly sat up.
There's a child who needs my care!
He also came over to little Kokomi's side.
"Where did you put it?"
Little Kokomi pointed at a tree branch.
"I originally hung it there. It was still there the last time I came."
"Could it have been blown away by the wind?"
"This place was carefully chosen by me. There's a clip on top, and there are no Hilichurls or Floating Spirits nearby either. The wind would also be blocked by the trees…"
Hiss… As expected of little Kokomi, who uses exhaustive enumeration as a trump card. At such a young age, she could already consider so many things?
The old uncle also activated his elemental sight to see if there were any clues…
Then he saw residual Pyro energy…
And it looked like it had just passed through recently…
No, who was it? Using Pyro energy to burn a towel?
And it seemed they had not gone far…
The old uncle also activated Anemo to perceive…
Then…
"Little Kokomi, don't move from here. I'll go get your towel back for you."
