Ganyu came and left in a hurry.
Makoto wasn't surprised by this.
After all, Ganyu, as Liyue's First Secretary, was always very busy.
In comparison, Makoto seemed like a leisurely person,
whose only job was to take care of Ningguang.
Makoto looked down at Ningguang, who was nestled in his arms.
It was clear that the little girl hadn't had a good rest in a long time,
so her nap was exceptionally sweet.
Even when Makoto was just talking to Ganyu, he didn't wake her up.
At this moment, Makoto noticed that the little girl seemed to be muttering something, so he leaned closer to listen.
"Ningguang, Ningguang wants to earn lots and lots of Mora,"
"So much that it's like the stars in the sky, countless!"
The little girl's tender voice was exceptionally serious,
which made Makoto unable to help but smile.
Even in her dreams, she was still thinking about making money. The little girl was truly a money-lover.
However, this couldn't be blamed on Ningguang's focus on Mora.
After all, she had lived a meager life since she was young, often not knowing where her next meal would come from.
So, Makoto could understand her earnest desire to make money.
Ningguang, in her sleep, paused, then continued, "Then I'll buy a really big house that doesn't leak wind, and bring my mother to live in it."
"That way, Mom won't wake up cold in the middle of the night, and we won't get wet when it rains."
"And Brother Makoto, Ningguang wants to bring Brother Makoto to the big house too!"
"That way, I can see Brother Makoto every day when I wake up~ Hehehe..."
The little girl's laughter was innocent, and her words were filled with longing for the future.
It made Makoto unable to help but smile along with her.
Who would have thought that the cool and dignified Tianquan Star adult was so cute when she was little?
Ningguang wanted to buy a new house and bring her mother to live in it.
Makoto could understand this point.
After all, the mother and daughter shared a deep bond, relying on each other for all these years.
However, Ningguang saying she wanted to bring Makoto to live there too was a bit surprising to Makoto.
It indirectly showed that Ningguang regarded Makoto as family.
Putting himself in her shoes,
Makoto also really liked Ningguang, this poor little thing.
He doted on this little secretary immensely.
He knew that Ningguang often didn't even get enough to eat,
so how good could her living environment be?
Given this,
it would be better to buy a house and improve Ningguang's family's living conditions.
Because he possessed the Talents of 'Money Scattered Returns',
Makoto would never lose money when buying things for Ningguang; instead, he would even earn money.
This could also be a surprise for Ningguang.
While the little girl was asleep, he would secretly prepare a house for her.
Her expression after she woke up would surely be wonderful.
No sooner said than done, Makoto carried the little girl and left Wangshu Inn, returning to Liyue Harbor.
Since Ningguang, the little guide, was asleep, Makoto didn't know where to choose a location, so he could only ask others for recommendations.
Soon, a relatively reliable person subconsciously came to his mind:
Ying'er's mother, Sister Yu Jin.
Previously, Makoto had learned from the Millelith that
the reason they were able to appear in time before the Treasure Hoarders made their move was entirely due to Sister Yu Jin's help.
It was Sister Yu Jin who worried about Makoto and his group, so she contacted the Millelith.
From this, it could be seen that Sister Yu Jin, that beautiful mature woman, was quite nice, besides her love for suggestive jokes.
Before long, Makoto carried Ningguang to the entrance of Sister Yu Jin's inn.
Sister Yu Jin sat on a chair, gently fanning herself with a slender, long hand.
She looked very elegant, with an indescribable mature charm.
Sister Yu Jin raised her beautiful eyes to look at Makoto, and spoke first, "You little rascal, you're not planning to bother your sister again tonight, are you?"
What kind of suggestive words were these?
Ying'er's skill in making suggestive jokes must have been inherited from Sister Yu Jin's genes!
Since he was already familiar with Sister Yu Jin, Makoto got straight to the point, "Sister Yu Jin, I'm planning to buy a house in Liyue. Do you have any recommendations?"
Sister Yu Jin fanned herself and pouted, "I knew you, this little troublemaker, never come to me for anything good. So you want me to help you find a house."
"Is it not simple to want to buy a house? Here, just buy the house next to my inn."
"We'll be neighbors in the future, and when you're free, you can come over and help me fix the pipes."
"Our two homes are close, so it'll be convenient for us to come and go."
Even though Sister Yu Jin made suggestive jokes now and then,
she still gave Makoto serious advice.
Upon hearing this, Makoto looked up at the two-story small residence next to the inn.
It looked very well-decorated, and the location was good.
Looking at the entirety of Liyue, it was indeed a relatively good house.
"That house is indeed quite good, Sister Yu Jin. Do you know the owner of that house? I'd like to discuss the price."
Makoto was not short of money now, so he could just ask for the price and buy it.
Sister Yu Jin said casually, "Oh, that house is mine, dear sister's."
"If you want it, I'll give it to you for free."
Upon hearing this, Makoto instinctively raised an eyebrow, very surprised, "Give it to me for free? Sister Yu Jin, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Sister Yu Jin fanned herself, then said reproachfully, "Who's kidding you? You little rascal, still pretending with me here."
"Alright, I've heard it all. You and Ganyu are dating recently, aren't you?"
"Ganyu has contributed a lot to Liyue, and she helped me a great deal before; I owe her a huge debt of gratitude."
"Now, what's wrong with me giving you two a house?"
Makoto felt a headache coming on.
He did want to make Ganyu his secretary,
but he hadn't even started acting on it yet.
Sister Yu Jin seemed to have heard some rumors??
"Sister Yu Jin, you've misunderstood. Miss Ganyu and I are currently just ordinary friends."
"So, I can't let you give me this house for free."
Makoto said with a righteous expression.
It wouldn't do if Sister Yu Jin didn't take his money.
Otherwise, how could he trigger the Talents of 'Money Scattered Returns'??
"Sister Yu Jin, how about two million Mora for this house? It's settled then!"
Sister Yu Jin: "???"
That house wasn't worth two million Mora at all; one million Mora was the absolute maximum.
Why would Makoto give so much money?
What on earth did this rascal Makoto want to do??
