Beidou's friendship has increased.
Including Shenhe's previous friendship increase, Makoto now has two intertwined fates.
However, he didn't receive any additional Rewards this time, perhaps his luck was bad.
He opened the gacha pool and performed two single pulls.
The first pull was a blue light.
When the light dissipated, what appeared was a bottle of pills called Harnessing Evil Dispelling Powder.
Taking this pill can effectively clear one's karma.
Makoto himself isn't entangled with any karma, but it's suitable for the one-meter-five-eight immortal.
Immediately after, Makoto performed the second pull.
This time, his luck was unexpectedly good; a golden light descended from the sky.
It was a weapon, named Musou Isshin.
It was a pale purple longsword, with a slender blade and black-and-white patterns on the hilt, appearing to be a sword primarily for female use.
In the game's background story, it was Raiden Makoto's personal sword.
However, the weapon Makoto obtained was incomplete, likely just a fragment, similar to the previous dustlock.
But that doesn't matter; using this sword for combat is definitely more than enough.
Makoto felt a bit emotional; he had previously obtained an Electro DMG Goblet, and now he had Musou Isshin, a weapon of such caliber.
It could be said that he was going further and further down the path of developing Electro characters.
But why hadn't he pulled an Electro skill yet?
This made Makoto feel like he had strength but nowhere to use it.
He organized the items in his backpack and then exited the system interface.
After a busy day, Mr. Fang finally had time to relax and eat.
As soon as he sat down at the table, someone had already served him food and placed it in front of him.
Makoto looked up and saw that the person who served him was Ganyu.
Ganyu looked up and met his gaze, then smiled and said, "Mr. Faxun, you've worked so hard making all these dishes tonight."
"Please sit down and rest properly; let me help you with some simple tasks."
As she spoke, Ganyu thoughtfully and meticulously placed some dishes into Makoto's bowl.
A Warmth rose in Makoto's heart.
Ganyu truly knew how to be considerate.
He chuckled and said, "Then I'll trouble Miss Ganyu."
Yae Miko, who was nearby, teased, "Gan Yu and I have known each other for many years, and I've never seen her serve me food..."
"To be precise, I've never seen Gan Yu serve anyone food; this is the first time today."
"Indeed, girlfriends are far less important than boyfriends."
Yae Miko raised her beautiful purple eyes to Ganyu and said with interest, "If Gan Yu resigned from her secretarial duties and stayed home to be a wife and mother, she would surely do very well, wouldn't she?"
Hearing Yae Miko's teasing, a blush immediately spread across Ganyu's fair face.
She stammered, "Miko, I haven't considered future matters yet."
Yae Miko picked up her teacup, took a light sip, and then slowly said, "Actually, Gan Yu, you can consider this matter now."
"After all, you can't be Liyue's secretary forever; eventually, you'll have to live a peaceful life."
"For example, after retirement, have two or three Little Cuties; if you can't manage them, you can hand them over to me, your aunt, to take care of. I love children the most."
"Just imagining that scene feels wonderful."
Upon hearing Yae Miko's words, Ganyu was stunned.
Having children?
Was that too far off for her?
Ganyu hadn't even thought about it.
Unable to answer, she could only say in a flustered tone, "I... I'm done eating. I need to go to work."
"Mr. Faxun, I'll take my leave now."
"I'll come back tomorrow to teach Shenhe how to cultivate."
Ganyu greeted Makoto, then lowered her head and hurried away.
And Yae Miko, who enjoyed teasing people, covered her mouth and let out a snicker, laughing so hard that her body swayed, and her Slime surged.
"My Gan Yu, she really can't take jokes. She always gets flustered and leaves with a red face, she's too cute."
"Forget it, she has her own thoughts, why should I worry so much?"
Yae Miko finished the fried tofu in her bowl, then put down her chopsticks and slowly wiped the corners of her mouth.
It was a very ordinary wiping motion, but Yae Miko performed it with exceptional elegance and charm.
"Mr. Faxun, I'll also take my leave now."
"Here is the Reward for my consumption this time, please accept it."
Yae Miko placed a white jade on the table.
She didn't give Makoto Mora because she knew Makoto wasn't short on money.
Instead, it was better to give something special and memorable.
Yae Miko looked at Makoto and chuckled, "Perhaps one day, this item might help you turn misfortune into fortune."
She paused, as if she had suddenly remembered something.
"Oh right, ever since my in-depth discussion with Mr. Faxun last time, I've really missed that feeling."
"I wonder, Mr. Faxun... can you let me experience that feeling again tonight?"
"Look at your flustered expression; I'm referring to Mr. Faxun's novel. Such a good novel, where have you written up to, Mr. Faxun?"
Makoto was a bit helpless.
Couldn't Yae Miko just urge him to write properly?
Why did she immediately start talking about sensitive topics?
When Makoto heard Yae Miko's words, he felt his heart skip a beat.
He wondered if anything had happened between him and Yae Miko.
Makoto chuckled and said, "Miss Miko, I'm sorry, I haven't thought about the plot for later yet. Let me brainstorm for two more days."
Low EQ: I haven't started writing yet.
High EQ: I haven't thought about the plot for later yet.
Yae Miko's beautiful eyes showed resentment, like a young wife in a deep boudoir.
"Alright, alright, then it seems tonight will be another night where my soul isn't nourished."
"But I still hope Mr. Faxun updates as soon as possible. In exchange, I'll try my best to bring Gan Yu to your house."
"As for whether you can seize the opportunity, that's entirely up to you."
After Yae Miko finished speaking, she said goodbye to the four Little One and turned to return to the inn.
Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly.
Yae Miko was as easy to get along with as Cloud Retainer.
Having a best friend who helps set you up is truly helpful.
The dinner was easily and pleasantly finished, leaving only many leftover dishes and plates.
Ningguang's mother originally wanted to clean, but Ningguang and Makoto stopped her.
The reason was that patients needed more rest, and it was better not to work.
The Little One also knew that Makoto had been tired all day, so they unanimously decided to let Makoto rest well.
In the end, Ningguang and Shenhe were responsible for washing the dishes.
Ningguang had been doing housework since she was young, so she was extremely familiar with these things.
Shenhe was also the obedient and well-behaved type at home, and she voluntarily offered to help wash the dishes.
Beidou, on the other hand, wanted to help but couldn't find a way to pitch in, anxiously watching from the side.
It was clear that she really wanted to do something for this family.
At this moment, Ningguang spoke, "Beidou, if you really want to do some chores, then sweep the floor with Qiqi."
Beidou turned to look at Qiqi, then took the broom from Qiqi's hand.
She not only swept the floor but also used a wet rag to meticulously wipe the floor inside and out, stopping only when the floor was spotless and reflective.
The children were eager to help with chores, and Makoto also enjoyed a rare moment of leisure.
