For a moment, the Treasure Hoarders were stunned.
They had witnessed with their own eyes the Ancient Geovishap explode, leveling a mountain.
If it had been anyone else caught in that explosion, there probably wouldn't have been a speck left, right?
But Makoto was safe and sound, completely unharmed.
What was he if not an immortal?
At once, the Treasure Hoarders grew even more in awe of Makoto.
However, the Treasure Hoarders didn't have much time to reflect, because the Millelith had heard the huge commotion from the valley and rushed to the scene immediately.
That group of Treasure Hoarders was naturally taken back for interrogation to see why they appeared in the restricted area.
The mountain collapse caused by the explosion meant that many areas required the Millelith to clear and maintain.
The captain of the Millelith had originally intended to report the situation to Ganyu, but he saw that Ganyu was currently with Makoto, and Makoto was even lying in Ganyu's arms.
The Millelith captain was also an experienced person.
He knew it was best not to disturb Ganyu and Makoto at this time.
Because of this, the Millelith captain silently turned and left.
He looked at the Millelith members and then lowered his voice: "Brothers, put down your work, I have something to say."
"Lady Ganyu currently has very important work that concerns the future of Liyue."
"If you don't have important matters, don't disturb Lady Ganyu."
"Oh no, no matter what happens today, you must not disturb Lady Ganyu, understood?"
The Millelith all nodded.
The mission concerns the future of Liyue; it seems Lady Ganyu's task is arduous!
...
Back to Makoto's side.
Hearing Ganyu's chiding, he was first stunned, then couldn't help but laugh.
Words like 'idiot' should only be said by girls in some anime, right?
Frankly, Makoto was quite surprised to hear it from Ganyu.
However, Makoto quickly remembered that Ganyu and Yae Miko were close friends.
Could it be that lewd fox that corrupted Ganyu?
Actually, thinking about it, it's not impossible.
After all, this culture is very popular in Inazuma, so how could Yae Miko not understand?
But these things are no longer important.
Makoto felt that Ganyu looked very cute right now.
Her sapphire-blue eyes were glistening with tears, and her delicate face was filled with a nervous expression.
She was... like a resentful little wife, making one want to reach out and pinch her face.
"Ding! Detected that Ganyu's friendship with the host has increased from Level 3 to Level 4."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining an intertwined fate and an additional item 'Long Rope Binding the Moon'!"
The friendship increased again.
It means that his relationship with Ganyu has progressed further, and certain voice lines and actions have been unlocked.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Makoto looked at Ganyu and said with a light chuckle, "Miss Ganyu, this flower would look very good on you, would you like to try it?"
As Makoto spoke, he handed the white rose to Ganyu.
"Thank you..." Ganyu took the white rose and carefully placed it in her palm, looking as if she treasured it greatly.
The reason she cared for it so meticulously, besides her own love for flowers, was a more important reason: this white rose was picked by Makoto at great risk.
Ganyu naturally didn't want the white rose to suffer even the slightest damage.
She carefully placed the white rose on her hair, adjusting it slightly.
After all this was done, Ganyu finally looked up at Makoto and stammered, "Mr. Fang Xun, what do you think? Does it look good?"
As she spoke, Ganyu's fingers unconsciously clutched her skirt, looking a bit nervous, because this was the first time in a thousand years that she had tried to change her style.
Ganyu didn't know how it would turn out.
What if it didn't meet Makoto's expectations?
Mr. Fang Xun... wouldn't be disappointed, would he?
Makoto also looked up and carefully observed Ganyu in front of him, then nodded gently after a moment.
"Miss Ganyu, this flower suits you very well."
"Miss Ganyu is already very beautiful, and with this flower as an accent, she looks even more beautiful."
Makoto wasn't deliberately complimenting her; it was genuinely what he thought.
It really did look good.
Ganyu was already beautiful, and now with the addition of a flower, it had the effect of adding icing to the cake.
Hearing Makoto's praise, a blush rose on Ganyu's pretty face, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Even the stray hair on her head swayed slightly up and down, as if reflecting Ganyu's nervous mood.
Makoto also found that stray hair very cute and couldn't help but reach out and fiddle with it.
They say the stray hair is the true body.
At this moment, Ganyu's pretty face felt a bit hot.
If it were in the past, facing such a situation, Ganyu would have instinctively retreated.
But now, she just stood there blankly, somewhat at a loss.
Mr. Fang Xun... does he like her hair?
What's so fun about hair?
The innocent and kind Ganyu expressed her incomprehension.
But since Makoto liked it, then let him be, right?
