[So Sister Baiyin, I'm really curious. Why is it that you never sleep?]
Miss Yuzu seemed genuinely concerned.
Lily, sitting nearby, glanced over with a somewhat blank expression.
[Actually, I can't sleep. I have neurasthenia and insomnia comes easily, so I often end up staying up late against my will.]
[But Sister Baiyin, she could fall asleep easily, yet she refuses to sleep.]
Her voice was soft and gentle.
[I'm also curious.]
It seemed Baiyin never talked about these things with anyone.
No one around her knew.
--+--
The audience watching from all over the world had their curiosity piqued too.
"Could it be some kind of psychological trauma?"
"Maybe~"
But alas, Baiyin still didn't say.
She just silently kept eating her snacks, over and over, until even Yuzu started feeling awkward. Fine then, if she won't tell, she won't tell!
As time ticked on, the seats in the back rows, and even those in the surrounding areas, began to fill up. Even the better seats further forward were now occupied.
Yuzu tirelessly continued her commentary for the stream.
Of course!
She was much more proper about it this time. Using her own power to muffle the sound, preventing it from disturbing others.
It seemed like almost everyone present was doing the same.
Even if acquaintances chatted, or friends and families gathered together, laughing and talking, none let their voices carry freely.
It was an unspoken rule in public places like this. Especially since this was the young lady's birthday ceremony.
Proper decorum was all the more important. What kind of spectacle would it be if everyone was noisy and rowdy?
As Miss Yuzu adjusted her camera angle, more important figures came into view.
Each one still drew exclamations of surprise from the audience.
So easily amazed.

[See over there?]
[That's the Liyue Qixing from the Liyue region of the Teyvat world.]
[Three seats are empty.]
[That's because Tianquan Ningguang, Tianshu Yelan, and Yuheng Keqing are the young lady's wives. Even though they're only Emanator-level, they get to sit in the seats of honor.]
Although the seating arrangements weren't strictly organized by world or faction, basically, everyone tended to adjust and group together on their own.
So initially, the seats were individual, and the platforms floated in isolation. But now, they formed clusters, some areas crowded, others sparsely populated.
The distinctions became quite clear.
Easy to tell apart.
Not just for the major factions.
Miss Yuzu, too, had sat down with her close friends. They were either the young lady's daughters or scions of other Aeons.
Of course, just like the young lady's daughters, the age range among the younger generation of Aeon families was vast.
Call them young, but some of the older ones were already tens of thousands of years old. Say they're not young, yet the younger ones were only seven or eight years old.
The girls gathered together, each with her own unique charm.
Generally, the younger ones were doted on a bit more. Miss Yuzu was among the relatively younger ones.
Everyone tended to look out for her.

"Wow, everyone is just so adorable…"
Elysia had been practically sparkling-eyed since a moment ago.
She looked like she was about to drool.
Gazing at the sky screen.
"My daughter, Eden's daughter, and that's Klee, right? Alice's daughter…"
"Ah, is that Dr. Mobius's daughter? A tiny Dr. Mobius, how wonderful!"
"Get lost." Mobius rolled her eyes.
But in the end, she also looked up, staring at her daughter, lost in thought.
Ego Vill-V couldn't find her own daughter. She was disappointed and went back inside.
The Conductor Vill-V came out to take her place, looked around, confirmed she didn't see her daughter either, and was also a bit frustrated.
After all, if nothing else, the young lady's daughters would all attend the ceremony. But they didn't necessarily have to gather right here, right now, did they?
If they were close by, naturally they'd be together. But if there was some distance… making a special trip over seemed rather unnecessary.
As Miss Yuzu had said, some of the girls were in other places.
Others were clinging to their mothers.
That was fine too.
"The younger generation of Aeon families…" Su slightly opened his eyes.
Actually, guessing whose descendants they were probably wasn't too hard, right?
Most likely they were from people like him, or Kevin, who later hitched a ride on the bandwagon and ascended to become Aeons. The Aeons from the old era probably had little interest in building families.
But even so, newcomers like them probably wouldn't deliberately go out of their way to do so, right? After all, with longer lifespans, the desire to procreate does decrease.
Having one or two was probably the most.
Families?
Perhaps they weren't as populous as one might imagine.
"I'm a bit curious, Su, what will your future wife be like?"
"I wonder if we can catch a glimpse of her here?"
Kevin slung an arm over Su's shoulder, teasing him with a sly grin.
"To be honest, I'm curious too," Su replied calmly.
You could see it!
In the picture, all the major factions across the cosmos had basically arrived. No matter their relations with each other, here, at the very least, they would coexist peacefully for now.
Setting aside their conflicts.
Besides the previously seen Garden of Recollection, there were people from the Antimatter Legion…the Self-Annihilators, the Doctors of Chaos, the Masked Fools, the Family… or members of the Genius Society, the Intelligentsia Guild, and, of course, the Interastral Peace Corporation…
Looking further ahead, you could see more girls, all familiar faces from the illustrated guides.
They were the young lady's wives.
And naturally, the leaders of the various major factions. The Aeons were in the very core area.

Closest to the central stage.
[See that handsome guy over there? He's the Aeon of The Hunt, Lan.]
[The beauty he's staring down so intensely is the Aeon of Abundance, Yaoshi.]
[They have a long-standing grudge.]
[Everyone in the universe knows it.]
Miss Yuzu aimed her camera at Lan and Yaoshi, whispering with a giggle.
[But I say, Lord Lan is actually quite good to Sister Yaoshi.]
[Yaoshi bestows blessings without a care for the consequences. Lan patiently follows behind her, cleaning up the mess.]
[Otherwise, with her 'you ask, I give' attitude, who knows how much chaos would erupt.]
[If she ever annoyed everyone, like the Aeon of Propagation did, she'd be in for trouble.]
[Don't you think Lord Lan is good to her?]
She laughed, covering her small mouth.
[So even though Lord Lan looks like he holds a mortal grudge against Sister Yaoshi, and is always chasing her down, according to unofficial histories, he actually has a crush on Sister Yaoshi, but she rejected him.]
[He's just acting out of spite~]
