Adeptus secret techniques…!
The old uncle manipulated Electro and Anemo in quite a flurry of activity.
Trimming corners, leveling the ground, sticking Liyue-produced tiles with Electro, and even needing to apply fixing talismans…
The bloodline of the infrastructure maniac was awakening…
A mud-brick house? How could that satisfy the definition of a secret base?
Speaking of which, when he was young, he had also dreamed of building a secret base together with other children.
They used sponges that adults no longer wanted in the green belt, and even added some wooden frames to make it look more like a house…
In the end, it could only be said that it really looked decent, and sitting inside felt quite comfortable…
It was just that it was ultimately destroyed by rainwater…
Back then, all the children, including himself, stared silently at the soaked sponges.
In the end, they unanimously abandoned the secret base they had built together.
Therefore, this time while building the secret base, the water cycle had to be considered as well!
By the way, where would be the best place to install a water purifier…?
In any case, the old uncle spent a very busy and fulfilling afternoon.
Little Kokomi also seemed to be enjoying reading the novel very much.
It was just that she was reading it surprisingly slowly.
The old uncle also reached out and placed his hand on little Kokomi's head.
"It's about time. We should head back to Sangonomiya."
Only then did little Kokomi belatedly look up at the old uncle.
Time was already up?
No, I felt like I hadn't been reading for very long…?
"You seem to like this book very much?"
There was a hint of happiness in the old uncle's voice.
"Mm, I like Stargazer very much. She plans carefully and wins from a thousand miles away. But… old uncle, does Stargazer really exist?
I've also read Liyue's history. The story in this light novel seems extremely close to history…"
Ah… this question, huh…
Of course there was no such person. This old uncle wrote it himself. How could this old uncle not know?
But looking at little Kokomi's expectant expression…
"Ah, regarding this question, of course he exists…"
"So he really does exist? Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou and Stargazer have a very good relationship?"
Not just good — they were inseparable, alright…
The old uncle was already mentally wiping sweat.
"That's natural. Their relationship is very good."
"Then it seems Stargazer is also watching over Liyue like Liyue's Adepti, right?"
Little Kokomi's voice sounded very excited.
Faced with this question, the old uncle felt ashamed for the first time about being a fictional historian.
It's over. Little Kokomi has become my reader. If little Kokomi ever finds out about Stargazer's real ending in the future…
She would probably cry very hard, right?
The old uncle showed a complicated expression.
"That's right. Stargazer is definitely still watching over Liyue."
Little Kokomi looked at the old uncle and felt that something was very wrong.
As the future Divine Priestess of Watatsumi Island, she was different from ordinary children. She could sense some of the complicated emotions of adults.
For example, right now, she could sense from the old uncle emotions called avoidance and unwillingness to touch upon this topic.
So she appropriately changed the subject.
"Old uncle, it seems like you've been busy the whole day today. The secret base is said to belong to us, but I haven't done anything. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"There naturally is."
The old uncle smiled and rubbed little Kokomi's head.
"Later on, I'll still have to trouble Teacher little Kokomi to teach me how to swim~"
Little Kokomi looked at the old uncle's happy expression and came to understand one thing in her heart.
The old uncle seemed very happy… because of me?
"Mm, I understand."
