After all, besides a god, they really couldn't think of anyone who could suppress their captain's powerful aura.
"Then, Big Sister Head, please say hello to Mr. Qu for me."
"Oh? Kazuha, aren't you going to see him?"
Kazuha shook his head. "I'm a little worried about them."
He pointed to the crew members behind him.
This was an differentworld after all, and it would naturally be better to have someone familiar with it lead the way.
Kazuha didn't know Jack and Beidou's plan, nor did he have any interest in finding out. He just wanted to do something for these rough men who often took care of him.
"Good! Although it probably won't be a suitable occasion for you later, I'm relieved to have you look after these useless subordinates."
"Then... Big Sister Head, go ahead. Have fun."
"Haha! Of course! I've been holding it in for two whole weeks for this day! This time, I'm definitely going to pin that woman Ningguang down. No one can stop me! I said it!"
...
Sky City, dozens of kilometers away from Entara.
Compared to the bustling small town.
Although there weren't many decorations here, it gave off a warm feeling.
"A little more to the left, yes, right there!"
Keqing directed everyone to arrange the couplets, large red paper cuttings, and golden-red lanterns. All of these festive decorations resembled the Spring Festival in Jack's previous life's hometown.
"It's all set, Keqing. Are there any other places that need adjusting?"
Kujou Sara flew down, her wings tucked behind her, ready to spread again at any moment.
Keqing patted her shoulder.
"No more. And also, I told you to just call me Keqing. 'Keqing' or whatever, do you want Jack to say I'm putting on airs?"
"Sorry, it was a subconscious... Hmm, Keqing?"
"Mm! That's much better. I'll go check the back kitchen now. You can just wander around!"
Kujou Sara was stunned for a moment.
She only sighed after Keqing had walked away.
This sister from Liyue was a workaholic just like her.
But she was much stronger than a martial artist like herself who only knew how to fight. She seemed to know everything and be good at everything, which made her a little... envious.
"Hey! Sara-chan, why are you just standing there!"
"I... I don't know."
"Huh? What kind of answer is that?"
Lumine's eyes darted around, then she took Kujou Sara's hand and walked towards the "Lumine's Internet Cafe."
"I recently shamelessly begged Jack to open creative mode to improve the internet cafe. Why don't you come play a few games with me!"
"Eh? Didn't you say you'd play with me? Lumine, you... Hmph!"
Paimon's face fell, and she crossed her arms, tilting her head to the side.
"Uh... Paimon, look at the atmosphere, okay? On such a lively day, do you want Sara-chan to stand alone so lonely at the main entrance? Quick, take out your lollipops and share them. That way, you can show off your kind and noble character, Paimon."
"Ah?"
Paimon looked at Sara, then at Lumine.
Then, reluctantly, she pulled out three large lollipops from the magical small bag Jack had given her.
"Jack said eating candy helps to cheer up. Sara-chan, do you want to try?"
"I don't really eat sweets."
"It's okay, just try it! These are Paimon's special treats for children. Even Jack at home only gives them to a few little sprouts, and I don't even get any!"
"Hey! Who are the little sprouts?!"
Paimon had just happily licked her lollipop when she heard someone slandering her. She stomped her foot in the air and swore she would never give Lumine lollipops again!
Kujou Sara picked up the lollipop and unwrapped it.
The sweet scent of the candy made her mouth water, and she couldn't help but stick out her pink little tongue and lick it.
Sweet, like the taste of love~
Click!
A photo popped out.
Not far away, Jack obtained a CG, named "First Taste of Candy's Sweetness," starring Kujou Sara.
"Here."
Jack stood in front of Kujou Sara and handed her a photo.
"Hmm, this is..."
On the photo.
Kujou Sara saw an unfamiliar expression she had never seen before.
That smile, like a fresh dewdrop and a flower bud, was the most heartwarming, making one want to protect it forever.
"Although a poker-faced Sara is cool and beautiful, occasionally smiling makes her even cuter."
"Okay! I will... smile more often in the future!"
Kujou Sara took a deep breath, and as she recalled the bits and pieces of this time, a perfect smile naturally bloomed on her face.
Click!
This scene became eternal.
...
Night.
In the spacious courtyard, everyone sat in a circle around the central bonfire.
The surroundings glowed with golden-red light, filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.
Jack, at the head of the table, raised his wine glass and surveyed the "empire" he had built.
Mondstadt: Lisa, Eula, Mona, Amber, Jean, Klee, Diona, Barbara, Fischl, Noelle, Sucrose, Rosaria...
Liyue: Keqing, Shen He, Ganyu, Ningguang, Beidou, Hutao, Qiqi, Yelan, True Monarch Xian Yun, Xiangling, Yaoyao, Yunjin, Yanfei, Xinyan...
Inazuma: Kamisato Ayaka, Yae Miko, Yoimiya, Kujou Sara, Ei, Kuki Shinobu, Sangonomiya Kokomi, Saiguu, Raiden Makoto, Sayu...
Sumeru: Collei, Nilou, Dehya, Dinazade, Nahida, Candace, Faruzan, Layla, Dori...
And travelers from beyond the world: Lumine, Paimon, Alice...
These were all his wings!
Thousands of words finally converged into one sentence, blessing the first New Year of this world.
"Happy New Year, my wives, sisters, and pets!"
"Happy New Year!" x N
"Who's a pet?!"
"Happy New Year!" x N
Amidst countless blessings, a flying fairy's angry roar was mixed in, and everyone's faces were beaming with bright smiles.
At the same time, they also held aspirations for the new year.
Some wished to grow taller, some wished to earn a lot of money, some wished to become more competent, and some wished to become stronger...
Among them, naturally, there were some who wanted to add new members to this already large family.
At that moment.
All the "big sister" type characters seemed to be in soul resonance, looking at Jack at the same time.
Their ambiguous gazes seemed to melt him.
Jack stroked Klee's head, pretending to be calm as he drank the red wine.
He had a premonition.
Tonight... would be very~ long.
And it would be a sleepless night.
