In the end, the misunderstanding was resolved.
Arataki Itto is a bit silly, but he is very upright and will not take advantage of anyone.
Ganyu apologized to Arataki Itto for her impulsiveness.
This burly oni man just smiled, brushed it off indifferently, and continued to stroll around with his underlings.
Looking at Arataki Itto's receding figure, Ganyu murmured.
"Perhaps this is the innocent heart that Cloud Retainer once spoke of. I heard that Senior Guizhong was also like this, with a childlike innocence, yet selflessly sacrificing herself at important moments."
"Ganyu is only called Aunt by Klee because she always looks back on the past. Come on, smile, let me take a good look at my wife's beauty."
Jack reached out and smoothed Ganyu's furrowed brow, making her smile.
Ganyu's cheeks flushed, and she twisted shyly.
"It's too close, the child is still watching."
"So what if they're watching? I didn't do anything strange."
"Woo... you even touched my horns, isn't that strange enough?"
"Cough cough, sorry, your horns feel too good, I couldn't help it for a moment."
Ganyu rolled her eyes at him.
Jack smiled shamelessly.
The two looked at each other, but the atmosphere became better and better, and it looked like they were about to get intimate again.
So Klee and Qiqi, these two little sisters, directly squeezed in between them.
Each pulling on one.
"Daddy, aren't we going to find Sister Yoimiya?"
"Um... She wants to find... Yoimiya."
Two little jealousy jars were overturned.
Jack pinched their little fleshy faces, squatted down, and picked up one in each arm: "Okay! We'll go find Klee's Sister Yoimiya."
"Yay! Let's go find Sister Yoimiya to fry fish!"
"Fry fish...Slightly..."
"N-No, it's not okay. Jean specifically told me not to let you play such dangerous games!"
One big and two small flew in front, and a Kirin chased behind.
Just like that, the group flew towards the island west of Konda Village.
...
Gankin Island.
An island full of festival atmosphere.
For the people of Inazuma, this place is like a park, a very lively place during festivals.
Even during the usual off-season, it is still bustling with people and vendors hawking.
However, in a corner of this bustling city, there is a lonely figure.
The blonde girl sat cross-legged on a stone, her palm supporting her chin, her eyes looking towards Inazuma City in the distance, but she couldn't find the focus in her pupils.
Yoimiya was in a daze.
For the stall owners who set up stalls here, this has become a unique attraction on Gankin Island.
At first, enthusiastic bosses would ask her if she had encountered any trouble when they saw her.
But now, they all know that Miss Yoimiya is waiting for someone.
Waiting for someone who may never come back.
Huff ~
A gust of breeze blew.
Blowing up the hair on Yoimiya's temples.
The ends of her hair scratched her face, bringing a hint of coolness, but she did not comb it, but let her golden hair flutter, and her mind repeatedly played the scene of watching fireworks with that person that summer.
"Yo! This little brother and madam look very unfamiliar, are you from out of town?"
"Do you want to buy some konpeito for the children? The children here all like to eat it ~"
Noisy voices came from behind.
But Yoimiya was used to it and did not care about the enthusiastic soliciting of customers by the bosses during the festival off-season.
Until a familiar voice came.
"Looks good, um, give me four boxes."
"Okay!"
The proprietress happily packed Jack with four full boxes of candy.
After taking it, Jack distributed a box each to Klee and Qiqi.
"I... I don't really like to eat sweet food."
"Is it that you don't like to eat or are you afraid to eat? It's okay, even if Ganyu gets fat like a ball, she's still my wife, here, take it."
"Woo... Why do you say girls like that..."
Ganyu took the konpeito with complicated emotions. Under the temptation of the delicious food, she still secretly tasted one behind Jack.
It's sour and sweet, and it's indeed much better than Qingxin.
No! Can't eat too much! Must restrain myself!
Looking at Ganyu competing with herself, Jack touched her little fleshy horns amusingly, and then looked at Yoimiya who was walking towards him step by step.
"Here, this box is yours."
Bang!
Yoimiya didn't catch the box of candy, but suddenly pounced on Jack.
"Finally... I finally waited for you!!"
Jack held the candy in one hand in mid-air and gently patted Yoimiya's back with the other.
"Didn't I occasionally not return to Inazuma for a month or two before? Why is your reaction so big this time?"
"It's different."
Yoimiya wiped the tears from her face and said, "In the past, no matter which country Traveler went to, as long as we were still on Teyvat Continent, we could receive your news, but this time... I really can't find you anywhere!"
"Sorry, I made you worry."
Jack apologized very sincerely, and then hugged Yoimiya tightly in his arms.
Seeing this scene, Ganyu was also a little touched.
Thinking back to that time, she was too.
She was restless, as if she could feel that Traveler would never come back.
Fortunately, it was all a false alarm.
Traveler not only came back, but also gave everyone an answer, although it was not the best answer in their hearts, but people cannot be too selfish, and they also understand the approach taken by Jack.
Currently, Ganyu is very satisfied with her current life.
"Sister Yoimiya, Klee has candy here. If you eat it, you will be very happy. If you are happy, you will not cry!"
Seeing Yoimiya weeping, Klee raised her share of candy.
Yoimiya came back to her senses and noticed Gong Qu's companions, one big and two small.
"Thank you, Little Klee, then you can also try this one of mine."
Yoimiya quickly adjusted her emotions, took the box of konpeito that jack gave her, took out one, and exchanged it with Klee.
"Thank you, Sister Yoimiya! Hehe!"
Two equally lively Pyro god's eye girls smiled at each other and ate the candy sweetly.
Seeing that Yoimiya was much more peaceful than he had imagined, Gong Qu was relieved and introduced her.
"Come, Yoimiya, let me introduce you. This is Liyue Qixing Secretary Ganyu, an immortal who has lived for more than two thousand years."
"Um, you don't have to introduce the age."
Ganyu resentfully patted Gong Qu's arm.
Yoimiya looked curiously at the horns on Ganyu's head.
"So amazing! Is it a race similar to a big youkai? That... Can I call you Sister Ganyu?"
"Yes, you can. Yae Miko also calls me that."
"Yae Miko?"
"That big fox from your Narukami Shrine in Inazuma."
Jack answered Yoimiya for Ganyu.
Yoimiya was stunned for a moment.
Then, she started calculating in her mind.
Yae Miko called Ganyu 'older sister,' and she also called Ganyu 'older sister.'
Roughly speaking, she and Yae Miko were now of the same generation.
Hiss! Doesn't this mean I can now walk sideways in Inazuma? Will it be okay to set off fireworks at the Tenryou Commission from now on?
However, thinking of this, Yoimiya's mood suddenly dropped.
Jack keenly noticed the change in her emotions.
So he took Yoimiya's hand.
"It seems our Summer Queen of Narukami Island has some worries. Why don't you tell me about them?"
Yoimiya used a smile to cover her shyness from Jack holding her hand and said shyly.
"Haha, it's embarrassing to say, but I originally wanted to give Ganyu an amazing firework as a welcoming gift. But recently, I don't know what's going on, all the fireworks I've made have various problems. After thinking about it, I decided not to take them out."
"It really is about this."
Jack and Ganyu exchanged glances, both thinking of the current situation of several girls in Inazuma mentioned in Yae Miko's reply.
So he raised Yoimiya's arm and said, "Alright! Little Klee! Next, we will carry out our third mission in Inazuma, named 'The Great Operation to Recover the Lost Firework Magic of the Summer Queen'! How about it?"
The childish naming method immediately attracted the children's interest.
Klee, holding Qiqi's hand, jumped high and shouted.
"Yay! Great Operation! Great Operation!"
The enthusiastic little sun scattered warm light, and even Yoimiya felt the warmth, suddenly gaining confidence in making fireworks, something she hadn't touched in a long time.
And...
She looked at the smiling Jack beside her and slowly leaned her head against him.
Yoimiya: If the Traveler is by my side, hehe, I feel like I can do anything!
