Takumi and Kamisato ayaka were both shocked by the scene before them.
They saw the "hunchback brother" revealing his true form—the fat dragon himself.
At this moment, the hunchbacked figure was moving forward continuously.
As he advanced, a road formed directly beneath him.
Azhdaha moved slowly while shaping the railway passage.
Takumi examined it carefully.
Wherever Azhdaha passed, the road solidified instantly.
The speed was a bit slow, but the road he made was very sturdy.
Kamisato Ayaka stared at the sight in astonishment.
"Is this for the railway?"
"Everything in Inazuma needs to be completed too, right?"
She was shocked.
Takumi nodded.
"It's almost done."
"Go a little further from here and you reach Sumeru."
"Once the Sumeru section is finished, he'll come back and go straight toward Mondstadt."
"By the time he returns to the starting point, the full loop is complete."
"After that, we can begin building the railway stations."
Looking at the road Azhdaha was creating, Takumi couldn't help smiling.
Hearing his words, Ayaka nodded.
She didn't know the full blueprint, but it seemed to form a giant circle.
On Liyue's side, it was almost finished.
Next would be Sumeru.
But then another thought crossed her mind.
If the dragon really ran straight into Sumeru…
Wouldn't he scare people?
Thinking this, she looked at Takumi and voiced her concern.
"If he goes straight into Sumeru like this…"
"Won't it cause a riot?"
Takumi laughed.
"Maybe."
"But it's not a big problem."
"After all, Azhdaha building roads isn't a secret anymore."
"People in both Sumeru and Mond know about it."
"Didn't you see the news a while ago?"
"It was mentioned multiple times."
"And when the time comes, we'll notify Sumeru."
"Let them announce it publicly."
"Otherwise, it'll scare the children."
Not a big deal.
Sumeru's TV station was also under construction.
Once television became widely available, they could announce it on the news.
Besides, many people in Sumeru already had mobile phones.
A mass message would be enough.
A trivial matter.
Kamisato Ayaka nodded.
The two watched for a while before leaving to explore elsewhere.
After Takumi and Ayaka disappeared, Azhdaha looked in the direction they vanished.
He felt puzzled but didn't think too deeply.
All he wanted now was to finish this task as soon as possible.
Honestly, Azhdaha felt his promise had been far too hasty.
He thought the job would be easy.
He thought he could do it using just elemental power.
But once he started…
Using elemental power without using his real body only created a few meters at a time.
It was inefficient.
So he had no choice but to use his full body.
He even had to be careful of people around him.
And he needed to watch carefully to avoid collapsing mountains.
In general… it was very troublesome.
It annoyed him greatly.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have agreed.
Grumbling internally, Azhdaha continued forward.
The ground sank continuously as elemental power seeped downward.
At the same time, he needed to avoid the ley lines.
If he couldn't avoid them, he had to reroute them.
Truly troublesome.
Takumi didn't know what Azhdaha was thinking.
At this time, he and Kamisato ayaka were enjoying the beautiful scenery of Liyue.
When noon came and hunger set in, they simply found something to eat.
Then continued sightseeing.
By the end of the day, Kamisato ayaka was fully satisfied.
The sun had gradually set.
The two stood atop Qingyunding Mountain, watching the sunset.
The atmosphere was perfect.
Ayaka looked at Takumi with a warm smile.
Then she said softly:
"Takumi, thank you."
"I'm really happy."
This was her first time traveling alone with someone like this.
Today's experience was something she would remember for a lifetime.
Takumi smiled.
"I promised you, didn't I?"
"As long as you're happy."
Then he glanced at her and teased:
"But if you really want to thank me, you could give me a sweet kiss."
As soon as he said that, Kamisato ayaka face turned bright red.
But she didn't refuse.
Instead, she looked at Takumi, hesitating.
After a moment of determination, she tiptoed and leaned forward.
Takumi stared at her in surprise.
Was she really doing it?
But if that was the case, he wouldn't be polite.
This was something he had long looked forward to.
After they parted, Kamisato ayaka didn't dare look at him.
She was extremely nervous.
"T-That… that…"
She stuttered, not knowing what to say.
Takumi chuckled and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Ayaka… from now on, you belong to me."
"Understand?"
Hearing that, Kamisato ayaka became even redder.
But after a moment, she gathered her resolve.
Taking a deep breath, she said solemnly:
"This humble girl is inexperienced… please guide me well in the future."
"Takumi."
After saying that, a soft smile appeared on her face.
Even though her heart was racing endlessly…
Kamisato ayaka was truly happy.
She had finally gotten her wish.
She liked Takumi very much.
She simply hadn't confessed earlier because of various reasons.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have followed his words so decisively.
The two held hands.
After watching the scenery for a while, they left together.
They returned to Guiliyuan.
Upon returning, Kamisato ayaka and Takumi reluctantly parted.
Watching Ayaka leave, Takumi couldn't help smiling.
He glanced at the sky— it was getting late.
He didn't linger and instead headed home.
When he arrived, Klee and the others were already preparing dinner.
Seeing Takumi return, little Klee cheered happily.
"Big brother Takumi, let's eat!"
Takumi nodded.
"Alright!"
He stepped forward.
Keqing still hadn't returned today.
She continued staying at Liyue Harbor.
She would probably stay there for a few more days.
Until everything regarding the demolition was wrapped up.
After all, demolition wasn't something completed in just a day or two.
