Makoto was completely stunned as he looked at the lively and adorable white-haired loli in front of him.
What's going on?
Little Turtle only returned to Inazuma yesterday, didn't she?
How is she in Liyue again today?
Did she run away from home again, and again, and again?
That shouldn't be possible.
Because Little Ayaka had already run away from home not long ago, she shouldn't escape again so soon, and the Kamisato Family would also strengthen their supervision.
Makoto guessed that Little One had probably negotiated with her family and was allowed to come to Liyue to play for a while.
That's why the little girl came to Liyue as soon as possible.
This also fits Little Ayaka's personality.
Because when she was in Liyue before, Little Ayaka was like Makoto's little shadow, always sticking to him.
If Makoto disappeared from her sight, Little One would become nervous and uneasy, pouting sadly.
Conversely, if Makoto was willing to play with her,
Little Ayaka would smile with her eyes crescent-shaped, happily wiggling her little feet.
At this moment, Little Ayaka looked up, her clear and bright big eyes gazing at Makoto.
Then she said in a gentle and cute voice, "Makoto Gege, I'm home~"
Looking at the clingy little girl in front of him, Makoto also had a smile on his face.
He had long since considered Ayaka a part of his family.
Now that Little Turtle was back, he was naturally happy.
However,
Looking at the well-behaved and adorable Little Cuties in front of him,
For some reason, Makoto suddenly had the idea of teasing the little girl.
Perhaps it was influenced by Yae Miko,
Makoto felt that teasing children was also an interesting thing.
He pretended to be full of confusion, then said suspiciously, "Little friend, what are you talking about?"
"Do we know each other?"
As soon as he said this,
Ayaka's smile on her little face instantly vanished.
She burst into tears with a 'waah',
Crying tearfully and looking pitiful.
She cried sadly while saying aggrievedly, "Makoto Gege is a big bad guy..."
"You said you'd remember me, but in a blink of an eye, you forgot Ayaka..."
"Makoto Gege doesn't remember me, Ayaka has no home in Liyue anymore..."
The little girl cried uncontrollably, sobbing.
Makoto had only intended to tease Little One, but he didn't expect Little Ayaka to cry so sadly.
At this, he no longer bothered with jokes and immediately hugged Little Ayaka.
"Poor little thing, don't cry. I was just teasing you on purpose, I didn't expect to make you cry, I'm very sorry."
"How could I not remember Little Ayaka? On the contrary, I remember everything about Little Ayaka very clearly."
Hearing Makoto's explanation, Little Ayaka finally stopped her tears.
Her eyes sparkled with tears as she said pitifully, "Really?"
"Does Makoto Gege really remember everything about Ayaka?"
The little girl pouted, looking adorable as she tried hard to stop her tears.
Makoto couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and flicked Little Ayaka's nose, then said softly, "Of course it's true."
"Little Ayaka likes desserts, likes ochazuke,"
"There's a temari named 'Acorus' at home, I remember all of these."
Makoto said many, many things in one breath,
All of them were things Little Ayaka had told him before.
Some of these things Little Ayaka had only mentioned casually at the time, but Makoto had carefully remembered them all.
For no other reason, Makoto had long considered Little Ayaka family.
Of course, it wasn't just remembering Little Ayaka's preferences,
Makoto also remembered all the preferences of Ningguang, Qiqi, Beidou, Shenhe, and Ganyu.
For example, Ganyu only eats vegetarian food and cannot touch any meat.
So Makoto's priority when cooking every day was Ganyu.
For example, Qiqi's favorite food is coconut milk, and every night Makoto would painstakingly stay up late to prepare a bottle of coconut milk for him.
Makoto would silently remember everyone's preferences in his heart.
This was also the reason why the kindergarten grew bigger and bigger.
Sincerity for sincerity.
Hearing Makoto list many things in one go,
Little Ayaka finally stopped crying.
It turned out that Makoto Gege really remembered these things clearly.
In an instant, a warm current rose in Little Ayaka's heart.
She just knew that Makoto Gege was the best.
If it were the smelly big brother Ayato, he definitely wouldn't remember so much.
Noticing that Little Ayaka's emotions had stabilized, Makoto reached out and wiped away the tear stains on the little girl's face.
Then he smiled softly and said, "How about it, little girl, you're not so sad anymore, are you?"
Kamisato Ayaka didn't answer, but instead aimed her little head at Makoto's arm and bit down.
It looked quite fierce, but in reality, the little girl was afraid of hurting Makoto and couldn't bear to use any force.
After one bite, there wasn't even a tooth mark on Makoto's arm, nor did he feel any pain.
Makoto was also at a loss whether to cry or laugh; the little girl was using this to vent her dissatisfaction.
After all, when they parted earlier, Little Ayaka had said that if Makoto forgot her, she would bite Makoto.
At the time, Makoto thought the little girl was joking,
He didn't expect Little One to actually follow through.
He couldn't make such jokes in the future,
Otherwise, Little Ayaka would bite him again with her little emotions.
After one bite, Kamisato Ayaka seemed to be in a much better mood.
She blinked her big eyes and asked in a childish voice, "Makoto Gege, did you miss me while I was away?"
Hearing this question, Makoto had a faint smile on his face.
They had only been separated for one day,
But from Little Ayaka's tone, it sounded as if they had been separated for a very long time.
Who would have thought that the White Heron Princess of the Kamisato Family would be so clingy.
"I missed Little Ayaka very much."
Little Ayaka blinked her big eyes and continued to ask, "How much is 'very much'?"
"How to put it... After you left Liyue, I felt like this home was missing a part, becoming incomplete."
"Now that you're back, this home has become whole again."
"In other words, with you here, this is a complete home."
Listening to Makoto's answer, Little Ayaka's watery big eyes were filled with joy and emotion.
The little girl giggled foolishly, without any semblance of elegance or dignity,
She was simply a little silly goose.
"Makoto Gege, Ayaka also feels that the place where you are is home."
...
At this moment, Kamisato Ayato rushed over, holding a gift box in his arms.
It had to be said that Little Ayaka ran too fast, leaving Ayato with only her disappearing back at the end of the street.
He hurried and managed to catch up, arriving at his destination.
However, Kamisato Ayato hadn't even stopped to catch his breath,
When he heard Little Ayaka's last words, 'The place with Makoto is home'.
Kamisato Ayato:???
Excuse me, is there no place for me in this family?
