Divine Transformation: Evil Eye Opening.
When using this skill, a status called 'Evil Eye of Divine Punishment' will appear above the user's head.
Simply put, when attacking an enemy, the 'Evil Eye of Divine Punishment' will assist in the attack, dealing AoE Electro DMG.
This skill can apply Electro and has a DMG bonus effect, which is quite desirable.
Soon, Makoto unlocked 'Divine Transformation: Evil Eye Opening' and added it to his skill library.
After completing all of this, Makoto returned to Liyue Harbor with the three little ones.
...
Over the next few days, heavy rain once again washed over the land of Liyue, leaving the streets empty.
Many common people were unable to open their shops for business and could only rest at home.
Compared to the leisurely life of most Liyue common people, Makoto seemed a bit busy.
Currently, he had to teach Beidou and Shenhe about weapons.
He also explained some business strategies to Ningguang to help him avoid pitfalls.
He would also guide Ayaka and Keqing in their sword practice.
During this time, Keqing came very diligently, often running to Makoto's house before dawn.
Sometimes, when she was too tired from practicing swordplay, she would just collapse and sleep at Makoto's house.
This led to the Liyue common people spreading rumors that Keqing, instead of living the life of a Demoiselle, insisted on staying in a kindergarten.
However, Keqing paid no attention to the gossip; she remained her usual self-willed character, once she committed to something, she had to see it through to the end.
This stubborn nature also allowed her swordplay to advance by leaps and bounds during this period.
Similarly, Kamisato Ayaka also gained a deeper understanding of the Way of the Sword.
Unbeknownst to them, the sky over Liyue finally cleared, no longer oppressive and a dull gray.
As the sunlight pierced through the clouds and spilled onto the sea, trade ships resumed their voyages.
Little Ayaka also had to return to Inazuma.
After all, after running away from home for so many days, her family was very worried about Little Turtle.
Staying in Liyue Harbor indefinitely was not an option, as it was not her home after all.
It's not like she could marry into Liyue, could she?
Kamisato Ayaka left Liyue on a calm, sunny morning.
Makoto personally escorted her to the pier.
Little Ayaka looked back three times, tightly holding Makoto's sleeve, and tearfully said, "Brother Makoto, I don't want to leave you..."
After spending these past few days together, coupled with Makoto's gentle and considerate nature,
Little Ayaka had long grown accustomed to Makoto being by her side.
Now that they were about to part, Ayaka's heart was filled with sadness and reluctance.
Looking at the little girl's pitiful pouting, Makoto also felt a pang of sadness.
Having spent these days with Ayaka, he had also grown accustomed to the little one being by his side.
Now, watching Little Turtle leave, Makoto felt a sense of emptiness.
However, he couldn't show it, otherwise, Little Ayaka would probably be even more reluctant to leave.
Makoto reached out and rubbed Ayaka's little head, then chuckled and said, "Little girl, this parting is only for a better reunion in the future."
"If I have the chance, I will visit you in Inazuma, and it shouldn't be too long from now."
"We will meet again very soon."
Hearing Makoto's promise, Little Ayaka nodded vigorously.
"Mm-hmm, when Brother Makoto and everyone comes to Inazuma, I will take good care of everyone, just like Brother Makoto took care of me back then."
At this moment, a ship in the distance sounded its horn, and an Adventurer from Inazuma peered out from the deck.
She loudly announced to the passersby below, "The ship bound for Inazuma is about to set sail, please, all relevant personnel, board quickly, do not miss the time."
Makoto looked down at Little Ayaka, who was tightly holding his hand, unwilling to let go.
If he remembered correctly, Little Ayaka was taking this ship to Inazuma.
Hearing that the ship was about to set sail, Little Ayaka looked up at Makoto, her tender face filled with reluctance.
Even if there were a thousand words, at this moment, she didn't know what to say or where to begin.
Little Ayaka extended both hands and handed Makoto a bento box: "Brother Makoto, this is matcha that I woke up early this morning to make, consider it a farewell gift from me."
"I spent a long, long time making these matcha desserts, so you have to eat them all, okay?"
"I mean... don't share these desserts with the other sisters; I made them specifically for Brother Makoto alone."
"I also made desserts for the other sisters; they're in the kitchen. Please, Brother Makoto, give them to them to eat."
Looking at the desserts Little Ayaka handed him, a warm current flowed through Makoto's heart.
He had wondered why there was a clanging sound in the kitchen early this morning.
It turned out the little girl had gotten up early to make him matcha desserts.
Because she woke up so early, the little girl still looked half-asleep, which made Makoto feel a bit of heartache.
Makoto knew that only by treating this dessert well would he not let down Little Turtle's intention of waking up early to make him dessert.
He took the dessert and said with a light smile, "Little Ayaka, then I'll accept all these desserts."
As he spoke, Makoto opened the bento box, took out a small dessert, and began to eat it.
Watching Makoto taste the dessert, Little Ayaka watched intently.
Then, she asked with a face full of anticipation, "Brother Makoto, how does it taste? This time, Ayaka didn't mistake salt for sugar, did she?"
"It's delicious, the taste is very good." Makoto nodded repeatedly.
Unconsciously, he finished all the desserts Little Ayaka had made.
Listening to Makoto's praise, Little Ayaka's face showed a bit of shyness, but more so, happiness.
"As long as Brother Makoto likes to eat it, that's good. If there's a chance in the future, Ayaka will continue to make desserts for Brother Makoto."
"As long as Brother Makoto likes to eat them, then Ayaka is willing to keep making pastries~"
Little Ayaka knew that her love for pastries could only remain in Liyue Harbor.
Once she returned to Inazuma, she would have to settle down and return to her previous day-to-day life.
It was precisely for this reason that, at the time of parting, she gazed deeply at Liyue Harbor, wanting to remember all the tall buildings and local customs here.
Of course, more importantly, she wanted to remember this big brother in front of her.
To engrave him in her heart, never to forget.
At this moment, Makoto spoke, "Ayaka, you gave me dessert, and I also have a gift for you."
Makoto handed the red string he had won from the lottery to Little Ayaka, and at the same time, gently said, "This red string is a unique product of Liyue."
"It's probably impossible to buy the same red string in Inazuma. Now I give it to you, wishing you a bright future."
Makoto paused, then handed the panacea he had won from the lottery to Ayaka: "And this medicinal concoction, take it with you to Inazuma."
"Practicing swordplay inevitably leads to injuries, and this medicine has miraculous effects; even a terminally ill patient can recover after taking it."
"You must keep it safe."
Looking at the two gifts Makoto gave her, Little Ayaka's eyes were a little moist.
Makoto didn't explicitly say he cared, but every word was full of concern.
She nodded vigorously: "Brother Makoto, I remember."
"I will keep all these gifts you gave me safe and cherish them."
At this moment, the ship sounded its horn.
Little Ayaka realized she had no more time to linger.
"Big brother, I'm leaving now. You're not allowed to forget me."
"If, if one day I secretly run back to Liyue and find that you've forgotten me, then I'll bite you!"
"Similarly, I will always remember Brother Makoto."
"No matter how much time passes, Brother Makoto will always be in my heart; this will not change."
As she spoke, Kamisato Ayaka waved to Makoto, then quickly ran towards the ship.
She didn't look back.
Because if she looked back, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to bear to leave.
Although she was not from Liyue, she had a home in Liyue.
Looking at Ayaka's retreating figure, Makoto smiled and said, "Goodbye, little girl."
"If it's meant to be, we will definitely meet again."
As soon as he finished speaking, a lazy and charming voice came from beside Makoto: "Oh my, why are you getting so emotional?"
"It's just going to Inazuma for a few days, isn't it? If you really can't bear to part with this little girl, I'll send her back to you in a few days."
"Or, I can take you on a trip to Inazuma and introduce you to that Country bumpkin named Ei."
The speaker was Yae Miko.
....
Everyone, rest early.
