Soon, Mr. Faxun also brought Ganyu to Narukami Shrine.
Here, Yae was waiting with the Little Ones.
Since Raiden Makoto and the others weren't present, Yae must have handled arrangements on that end.
The moment she saw Ganyu, Qiqi opened her arms and walked towards Ganyu.
She blinked her big eyes and said in a sweet, childish voice, "Qiqi misses Ganyu..."
It could be said that among the Little Cuties, Qiqi was the closest to Ganyu.
Seeing Qiqi, Ganyu also crouched down and ruffled Qiqi's head: "Qiqi, I miss you too."
"How was your time in Inazuma these past few days? Did you have fun?"
Hearing Ganyu's reply, Qiqi nodded: "With Mr. Faxun here... Qiqi is very happy..."
"If Ganyu was here too... Qiqi would be even happier."
Upon Ganyu's arrival, the Little Cuties all came forward to greet her.
Mr. Faxun also introduced Sara to Ganyu,
and informed Ganyu that Sara was a new member of the kindergarten.
Ganyu understood some Inazuman language and could communicate simply with Sara.
She noticed that although Sara timidly hid behind Mr. Faxun, her eyes were bright and spirited, the kind who would be the first to rush forward in danger.
Most importantly, when Mr. Faxun was mentioned, Sara's eyes were filled with admiration.
It was clear that this Little One liked Mr. Faxun very much.
At this moment, Yae stepped forward and said, "Since everyone is here, we can begin."
As she spoke, several shrine maidens from Narukami Shrine came forward, holding trays of bamboo slips.
Ganyu and the Little Ones didn't know what this was for, so Mr. Faxun explained from the side.
"It is said that on the day of the fireworks festival, people write down their wishes and hang them on the Sakura Tree,"
"They say it can use the power of the Sakura Tree to grant people's wishes."
"Although its authenticity cannot be proven, over time, hanging wishes has become a tradition of the annual fireworks festival."
"Everyone comes here to write down their wishes and then hang them on the Sakura Tree, hoping for good fortune."
Immediately after, Mr. Faxun took a bamboo slip and wrote on it: "May the Little Ones grow up healthy and strong, and may the kindergarten teachers be safe and joyful."
The others followed suit, picking up bamboo slips and writing their own wishes.
"What wish did Ganyu write?" Mr. Faxun leaned closer to ask.
As soon as he spoke, Ganyu immediately hid the bamboo slip.
"No... it cannot be said."
"If it's said out loud, it won't come true."
As she spoke, Ganyu's pretty face was a little flushed, looking very embarrassed.
Mr. Faxun didn't press her, handing his own bamboo slip to Yae.
After this, Ganyu and the Little Ones all finished writing their wishes.
Ganyu's wish written on the bamboo slip was: "Hope to reduce overtime, spend more time with my brother, and hope that every day when I open my eyes, my brother is by my side."
Ningguang's wish: "To earn lots and lots of money and buy my brother Makoto's time."
Qiqi's wish: "To have endless coconut milk every day, and for Mr. Faxun and everyone to be happy."
Beidou's wish: "To become a great captain and take brother Makoto and everyone to travel to other countries."
Shenhe's wish: "To learn immortal arts from Master Ganyu soon and protect brother Makoto and everyone."
Ayaka's wish: "To make the most delicious desserts in the world and invite brother Makoto and everyone to taste them."
Keqing's wish: "To master swordsmanship soon, become one of the Liyue Seven Stars, and protect brother Makoto in the future."
Sara's wish: "To learn to read and write soon, grow up quickly, and share brother Makoto's burdens."
On the Sakura Tree, bamboo slips swayed in the wind, bearing all sorts of wishes.
Raiden Makoto: "To become a qualified kindergarten teacher, and for the children to like me."
Raiden Ei: "Inazuma and Mr. Faxun's eternity."
Morax: "Wandering the mortal realm."
Guizhong: "Hope that foolish Shitou can wise up soon and not always make me angry."
Azhdaha: "Hope to eat my fill every day."
Venti: "Hope to have wine to drink every day!"
