Xiao: "No wishes (crossed out), to integrate into human life."
At this moment, clusters of brilliant and colorful fireworks exploded in the sky.
The fireworks festival had officially begun.
The fireworks in the sky formed various patterns, colorful and dazzling.
Among them, one fireworks pattern became the Qunyu Pavilion.
Ningguang's eyes sparkled; she recognized it at a glance as the custom fireworks Mr. Faxun had prepared for her.
Because this was the Qunyu Pavilion that brother Makoto had described to her.
Then, the next firework rose, transforming into a Little Sparrow.
Qiqi blinked her big pink eyes, pointed at the sky, and said in a sweet, childish voice: "Qiqi... likes Mr. Faxun's gift..."
The fireworks changed again, becoming the sweet flower pattern that Ganyu liked most to eat.
Ganyu knew this was the gift Mr. Faxun had prepared for her.
She didn't speak, only held Mr. Faxun's hand tighter.
Following that, the fireworks in the sky continuously changed.
The fireworks prepared for Beidou were large ships.
The fireworks prepared for Shenhe were talismans.
The fireworks prepared for Ayaka were white egrets.
The gift prepared for Keqing was a hair ornament.
The fireworks prepared for Sara were bows and arrows.
Mr. Faxun had meticulously prepared fireworks for every child.
For Arataki Itto, Onikabuto were prepared.
For Yoimiya, unique goldfish were prepared.
Arataki Itto, on his way to Narukami Shrine, saw the Onikabuto, crossed his arms, and laughed heartily: "Not bad, not bad, this lord likes this gift very much!"
Yoimiya at Naganohara Fireworks was also overjoyed when she saw the goldfish in the sky.
"Wow, it's a goldfish! Is this a gift from brother Makoto? I love it!"
...
Xiao sat on the rooftop, quietly looking up at the night sky alone.
When the fireworks in the sky turned into the pattern of a Yaksha mask, Xiao was visibly stunned.
After a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face, though his smile looked much like no smile at all.
"I think I'm starting to understand the joy of human festivals."
...
In another room,
Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei sat together, the sisters quietly watching the fireworks outside the window.
They didn't understand why Yae had arranged for them to be in the room, as if intentionally separating them from Mr. Faxun.
According to Yae's explanation, the sisters were about to part, so it was best for them to spend some time alone and cherish their limited time together.
They thought about it and found it reasonable, so they agreed.
When they saw the Naginata and Musou Isshin, the sisters exchanged glances, both knowing these were the custom fireworks Mr. Faxun had made for them.
"Makoto, I think the fireworks festival is quite interesting."
"Let's participate again next year? Call Mr. Faxun to join us."
"Yes, let's call Mr. Faxun to join us."
...
The last firework was somewhat special; when it bloomed, it lit up the entire night sky.
Accompanied by a rustling sound, a scene appeared in the sky.
It was a cartoon image of a Jumpy Dumpty.
Everyone only found it cute, unaware of the danger it contained.
Immediately after, the image changed, becoming a family of three, with a big hand holding a small hand.
On the left was the father, on the right the mother, and in the middle a little girl.
It was not difficult to see that the mother and the girl were elves, with long ears.
Without a doubt, this was a firework made by the witch Alice.
At the time, when Mr. Faxun asked her what kind of fireworks she planned to make, she was still being mysterious.
It turned out she had made a family portrait firework.
Amidst the explosions of fireworks, Ningguang felt a little emotional, wishing her mother could see such beautiful fireworks at this moment.
She thought her mother would surely love tonight's fireworks.
Just then, a familiar voice came from behind her.
"Ningguang..."
Ningguang subconsciously turned her head and found her mother standing behind her.
"Mother, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Inazuma?"
Her mother smiled and embraced her.
"Mr. Faxun arranged for us to come to Inazuma, saying he invited us to enjoy the fireworks,"
"The reason he didn't let us tell you was because he wanted to give you a surprise."
"Little girl, you look very happy."
Ningguang smiled and nodded: "Yes, because I have the best brother Makoto in the world~"
...
As the night sky filled with fireworks, Mr. Faxun and the others also sat together, beginning to eat dinner.
A group of people sitting together made for a very lively scene.
The Little Ones all had food in their bowls, and when they ate something delicious, they would happily swing their little feet while sitting on their chairs.
Mr. Faxun, meanwhile, took out unique sakura wine and invited Venti and Morax and others to drink with him.
"Xiao, I called you to Inazuma to drink. Tonight, we don't go home until we're drunk, understood?"
"Don't say 'but' here, there's no 'but'. I'll speak to the old man for you then."
"Morax, you thought I only told Xiao and not you, right? Fill it up, fill it up."
"Azhdaha, eat whatever you want, order more if it's not enough, just eat without worry."
"Venti, can you drink? If not, go sit at Taroumaru's table."
