The Port was very lively today.
Many tourists traveled by ship to Inazuma specifically to enjoy tonight's fireworks display.
Looking out, the entire sea was filled with colorful ships, almost as far as the eye could see.
Giant iron-clad beasts broke through the sea, and deafening roars echoed throughout the Port.
To prevent traffic paralysis, the Tenryou Commission specifically dispatched personnel to maintain public order.
Mr. Faxun also arrived at the Port early, wanting to meet Ganyu the moment she arrived.
He looked up, intending to find the ship Ganyu was on among the many vessels.
It was actually quite easy to find,
because the sails of the ships would have patterns indicating their identity.
He only needed to find the unique Liyue pattern.
Makoto scanned around, and soon, he fixed his gaze on a ship that was about to dock.
The sail of that ship bore the unique rock pattern of Liyue.
After confirming his target, Makoto disappeared from his original spot.
...
At the same time, on the Liyue ship.
Xiao stood with his arms crossed, watching the approaching Inazuma City with an indifferent expression.
To be honest, Xiao had no intention of attending the fireworks display,
because he felt that a crowd would be too noisy, and it also didn't suit his identity as an Adeptus.
However, unable to resist the invitations from Morax and Mr. Faxun, Xiao reconsidered and decided to attend.
Looking at the various festival activities on the streets, Xiao murmured softly, "Is this a human festival? I cannot understand such joy."
"However... since Lord Rex Lapis and Mr. Faxun both wish for me to adapt to human life, then I will try to understand."
Seeing the ship about to dock, Xiao originally intended to use his element power to leave the ship,
but on second thought, he gave up.
Since he wanted to understand humans, he should act like humans.
He would disembark the same way everyone else did.
This was the first step in integrating into human life.
...
Xiao was not the only one thinking about how to disembark.
Ganyu, standing on the deck, wanted to get off the ship immediately,
because she wanted to see Mr. Faxun sooner.
Although she had only been separated from Makoto for a few short days, to Ganyu, it felt like a very, very long time.
The reason Ganyu had been working overtime frantically at Yuehai Pavilion during this period was to keep herself busy,
because only then would she not miss Makoto.
Now that she was about to meet Makoto, Ganyu felt a little nervous, and the single strand of hair on her head swayed with her emotions.
Ganyu lowered her head to check her clothes, to see if her attire today was neat.
Immediately after, she took out a mirror and looked at herself, checking if her condition was alright.
Thinking about seeing Makoto soon, Ganyu wanted to present her best self.
Just then, the ship docked, and the gangway opened.
Ganyu, who had already prepared, was the first to disembark.
Immediately after, she saw Makoto, who had been waiting for a long time.
The two didn't speak when they met; Ganyu directly threw herself into Makoto's embrace.
"I miss you..."
"These past few days, Ganyu has been missing Brother..."
Looking at the aggrieved Ganyu in his arms, Makoto couldn't help but smile.
It was truly not easy to make Ganyu, who had social anxiety, muster the courage to actively embrace him.
This also showed that Ganyu's longing had reached its peak.
Looking at Ganyu's cute appearance, Makoto said with a smile, "It's only been three days apart, not very long at all."
Ganyu shook her head and said seriously, "I don't know about three days, I only know that I haven't seen Brother for seventy-two hours, four thousand two hundred minutes."
Makoto gently stroked Ganyu's head, his voice tender: "I miss you very much too, Ganyu."
"I'm sorry for leaving you alone in Liyue these past few days."
"I won't leave you alone again in the future. I will stay with you."
"If you work overtime, I'll stay with you. If you rest, I'll rest with you."
"In short, I will be with you, by your side."
Hearing Makoto's words, Ganyu hugged Makoto even tighter.
Just then, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky.
Accompanied by crackling sounds, Makoto realized that the fireworks display had officially begun.
He took Ganyu's hand and ran towards Narukami Shrine.
"Ganyu, we need to hurry, otherwise we might miss a lot of things."
"There are many people here, so hold onto me tightly, or it will be troublesome if you get lost."
Ganyu nodded and said with a serious face, "Okay, I will hold Brother's hand tightly and not let go."
Makoto looked back at Xiao behind him and added, "Xiao, you hurry and catch up too, don't fall behind!"
Fortunately, Makoto had been in Inazuma for a few days, and although he wasn't too familiar with the terrain here, he still remembered the way to Narukami Shrine.
