Looking at the suddenly appearing Kamisato Ayato, Makoto was also a bit surprised.
He clearly hadn't expected Ayato to come to Liyue.
Was he worried about his sister being alone in Liyue, so he came to accompany her?
Makoto guessed that was probably the case.
At this moment, Kamisato Ayato took a step forward.
He first looked up at Mr. Faxun, then unhurriedly introduced himself: "You must be Mr. Faxun, correct?"
"My name is Kamisato Ayato, Ayaka's brother."
"It's a pleasure to meet you. Please guide me."
Kamisato Ayato's tone of voice was unhurried and refined.
After all, Kamisato Ayato was being groomed as the future head of the Kamisato Family,
and when conversing with others outside, he displayed the accumulated cultivation over time.
Makoto also nodded slightly: "Ayato, please guide me."
For some reason, Makoto always felt Kamisato Ayato's gaze occasionally observing him.
This made Makoto feel a bit strange.
Did he have something on his face?
That shouldn't be.
Just at breakfast, Ganyu had helped him tidy up his appearance, so how could there be anything on his face?
Then what was Kamisato Ayato looking at?
Makoto couldn't figure it out.
At this moment,
Kamisato Ayaka gently tugged on Makoto's clothes, interrupting his thoughts.
The Little One said in a soft, childish voice: "Makoto Big Brother, I brought gifts specifically for you and everyone from Inazuma!"
Kamisato Ayaka pointed to the beautifully packaged, brightly colored gift boxes piled up like a small mountain by the door.
She took out a purple gift box from among them and handed it to Makoto with both hands.
"Makoto Big Brother, this is a gift I prepared especially for you. Please open it and take a look!"
Under Little Ayaka's joyful gaze, Makoto quickly unwrapped the package.
When he opened it, inside was a set of black clothing with a distinct Inazuma style.
Makoto could tell that a lot of effort had gone into both the craftsmanship and the materials of this outfit.
While Makoto silently noted Little Ayaka's preferences,
the little girl also silently kept everything about Makoto in her heart.
She secretly noted Makoto's clothing size, then returned to Inazuma and hired a professional tailor to make this set of clothes.
Little Ayaka looked up at Makoto, her face full of anticipation as she asked: "Makoto Big Brother, do you like this outfit?"
Makoto reached out and patted Little Ayaka's head, then chuckled and said: "Little One put a lot of thought into it. I really like your gift, thank you."
Seeing Makoto happy, the Little One also started to giggle: "As long as Makoto Big Brother likes it ~"
The nearby Kamisato Ayato felt a pang in his heart upon hearing this.
Little Ayaka had never called him 'Big Brother' so sweetly.
At this moment,
Little Ayaka seemed to notice Kamisato Ayato's unusual expression.
She looked up and met Kamisato Ayato's gaze.
This made Kamisato Ayato feel a little better inside.
At least his sister still cared about his feelings.
Before he could be moved for two seconds,
he saw Little Ayaka look up at Makoto and say: "Oh, that's right, all these gifts are for Makoto Big Brother too!"
Kamisato Ayato was stunned.
It turned out Little Ayaka was looking at the gift boxes he was holding, not him at all.
Was she really his biological sister?
How could she not care about her own brother's feelings at all?
Makoto was also stunned for a moment, then said with some surprise: "All these gifts are for me?"
"Mm-hmm," Little Ayaka nodded vigorously, "Thanks to the potion Makoto Big Brother gave me, otherwise the Kamisato Family would already be in chaos right now."
Soon, Kamisato Ayaka also spoke about her mother's serious illness.
After hearing the whole story, Makoto secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had given the potion to Kamisato Ayaka back then precisely to prevent a tragedy from happening.
Now that Madam Kamisato had not passed away,
it meant that Little Ayaka could grow up happily without bearing too many burdens.
This was also what Makoto had initially hoped for.
"I'm happy that the potion could help you."
"In any case, a good outcome is a good thing."
Little Ayaka hummed, then opened one of the gift boxes.
"Makoto Big Brother, these are special fruits from our Inazuma, called violetgrass. You probably haven't eaten them before."
"Let's wash two to eat later, maybe you'll like them ~"
The little girl was also eager to share Inazuma's specialties with Makoto.
As she spoke, she pulled Makoto's hand and walked towards the house.
Kamisato Ayato, seeing this scene from behind, felt a mix of emotions, like a Vinegar Jar (vinegar jar) had been overturned.
Because he felt his sister had been 'kidnapped' by Makoto.
Ayaka had never been so gentle with him since childhood.
Indeed, love fades.
A biological brother is not as good as a newly met brother.
Thinking of this, Kamisato Ayato couldn't help but sigh.
Just at this moment, Kamisato Ayaka returned.
She handed the violetgrass to Kamisato Ayato,
"Big Brother, this first violetgrass is for you to eat."
Looking at Kamisato Ayaka's smiling face, and then down at the violetgrass in his hand, Kamisato Ayato felt a little touched.
He knew it.
His sister definitely wouldn't ignore her brother.
In Little Ayaka's heart, there must still be a place for him, her brother.
Giving him the first violetgrass to eat was enough to explain everything.
Kamisato Ayato took a big bite of the violetgrass, then nodded: "This violetgrass tastes good, not sour at all, the texture is really nice."
"Ayaka, I thought you didn't care about your brother at all, I was overthinking..."
Kamisato Ayato hadn't even finished speaking,
when Little Ayaka had already turned and ran into the house, and he heard her say loudly,
"Makoto Big Brother, those violetgrass are not sour and very sweet, eat them without worry, I've already had someone taste-test them."
Kamisato Ayato: ???
His sister gave him the first violetgrass just to let him taste-test it??
He was starting to regret it.
Regretting coming to Liyue.
For Kamisato Ayato, Liyue was a sad place.
He looked up at the sky, his expression melancholic.
The wind today was very boisterous.
