"Makoto, could you teach me how to practice the Sword?"
Little Ayaka, having come to her senses, looked up at Makoto and made her request.
At the Kamisato Family, the little girl often practiced swordplay with her older brother, Kamisato Ayato.
She was often bullied and teased by her brother because of this.
Little Turtle secretly wrote down these grudges in a notebook, thinking that she would definitely find a chance to defeat her brother in the future.
Now, having witnessed Makoto's exquisite Sword skills,
Little Ayaka realized her chance to surpass her brother had arrived.
If Makoto was willing to guide her, her Sword skills would surely improve by leaps and bounds, right?
At that time, winning against her brother wouldn't be impossible.
Thinking this, Little Ayaka's big, watery eyes looked at Makoto with pleading.
No one would refuse Kamisato Ayaka's adorable appearance.
Keqing's heart also stirred, and she immediately stepped forward to Makoto and said, "Big brother, can you teach me how to practice swordplay? I… I want to become stronger."
In Keqing's view, the future Liyue would be an era of human rule.
She needed to maximize her strength.
The Sword skills Makoto displayed made Keqing's eyes light up.
She saw the future of Liyue.
If she could possess such Sword skills, even with only the strength of an ordinary person, protecting Liyue would no longer be a pipe dream.
To some extent, the current Makoto was Keqing's best plan for the future.
Looking at the two adorable little lolis in front of him, Makoto couldn't bear to refuse their requests.
He nodded, chuckling, and said, "Alright, then tomorrow during the day, I'll teach you how to use a Sword."
Hearing this answer, Little Ayaka hugged Makoto's arm, happily dancing around.
Her long, white Horsetail also bounced up and down, very joyfully.
"Thank you, Makoto, you're the best~"
Keqing was also very happy to hear that Makoto was willing to guide her.
"Big brother, my name is Keqing, and my dream is to become a future Liyue Seven Stars who changes the pattern of Liyue."
"From now on, please give me more guidance!"
"I'm not very excited; this is just how I usually talk."
"My heart… is clearly very calm!"
Looking at Keqing's tsundere appearance, Makoto couldn't help but laugh.
He had thought that Keqing only became tsundere after becoming one of the Liyue Seven Stars.
It turned out Keqing had been so contradictory since she was little.
She was truly too cute.
Recalling his thoughts, Makoto looked at Qiqi.
He planned to have Qiqi spend more effort teaching Keqing swordplay.
This wasn't Makoto casually finding someone to share the pressure or slack off.
Instead, there was a clear introduction in the game:
Qiqi uses a Sword, and her Sword style is called Cloud-Parting Ancient Sword Art.
Keqing's Sword style, on the other hand, is called Cloud-Parting Sword Art.
Their Sword styles only differ by one word; is it really a coincidence?
Or are they from the same lineage?
So Makoto sometimes wondered,
To some extent, are Qiqi and Keqing relatives?
In the future, they'll each address each other differently: I'll call you Big Sister Keqing, and you'll call me Old Ancestor?
Forget it, the relationship is too complicated; Makoto didn't want to think about it anymore.
In short, he would let Qiqi help take care of Keqing more.
As for Makoto, he would also put effort into Keqing's cultivation.
Next, Makoto focused his gaze on the unlocked Luxurious Chest.
What would be stored inside this chest?
Makoto prepared to open the chest with Keqing.
As he was about to reach out, his hand hovered in mid-air.
Because he noticed the treasure compass in his backpack lit up.
And a prompt sounded in Makoto's ear.
"Detected two hidden Luxurious Chests within ten meters nearby!"
Makoto's heart stirred, feeling a bit surprised.
There were hidden Luxurious Chests?
And two of them??
Happiness came too suddenly.
Makoto immediately used the treasure compass to find the location of the two chests.
The compass needle spun, pointing Makoto in a direction.
Makoto followed the compass needle and found a rockery made of small stones not far away, with occasional flashes of light on it.
Makoto swung the katana in his hand, destroying the rock pile.
Then, with a thud, a Luxurious Chest appeared in front of him.
Little Ayaka and Xiao Keqing were both stunned.
They clearly hadn't expected a chest to be hidden in this place.
Makoto has such good eyesight!
Before the two little lolis could exclaim, Makoto activated the power of the treasure compass again.
The compass needle spun again, this time pointing towards a desolate, empty plot of land.
Makoto walked in the direction the compass pointed and noticed the soil beneath his feet seemed to be raised.
Something was buried beneath!
Makoto immediately dug, and sure enough, he found a chest underground.
Keqing and Ayaka exchanged glances, too surprised to speak.
Keqing had thought she was already amazing for finding one hidden chest.
She hadn't expected that Makoto had found two extremely well-hidden chests in the blink of an eye.
He was truly too amazing.
Keqing suddenly realized that she still had a long way to go if she wanted to become Liyue's administrator and usher in a new era for Liyue.
There were still many, many things she could learn from Makoto.
Thinking this, Keqing became even more determined.
She must diligently learn from Makoto!
Just as Keqing was secretly making up her mind, Makoto motioned for her to come over and open the chests together.
Any player seeing three Luxurious Chests placed together would probably not be able to sit still.
Makoto was the same.
He let Keqing open one of the chests, and then he, Qiqi, and Ayaka opened the other two chests.
They obtained some 4-star artifacts and some 3-star weapons.
For Makoto, these items were of no use.
"Host opened chests and obtained a total of three intertwined fates."
It was at this moment that the system's voice sounded in Makoto's mind.
Opening one Luxurious Chest yielded one intertwined fate.
It could be said to be a very generous system.
Makoto opened the gacha pool and performed three single pulls.
The first pull showed a blue light, and when the light dissipated, the item that appeared before Makoto was a packet of herbs called Heart-Calming Powder.
Even a critically ill patient could take this herb and it would have the effect of curing the illness.
Makoto wasn't sick, so he didn't need this item.
However, Ningguang's Mother hadn't fully recovered yet.
He thought that if he brewed this medicine for her, she could fully recover.
And Ayaka's Mother too.
In the game's background story, it was mentioned that Kamisato Ayaka's Mother passed away from illness.
This was why Ayaka, at a young age, had to shoulder the fate of the entire Kamisato Family with her brother.
If he could save Little Ayaka's Mother, perhaps Ayaka wouldn't live unhappily as she did in the background story.
Recalling his thoughts, Makoto started the second pull.
This time, a purple light descended from the sky, and when the light dissipated,
The elemental skill 'Jumpy Dumpty' appeared.
That was Klee's skill.
She throws a bomb forward, which explodes upon hitting an enemy.
In the game, Klee often ended up in the Forbidden Room because she used Jumpy Dumpty to fish.
The reason was simple: she couldn't control the bomb's power.
She often caused chaos in Mondstadt.
Because of this, Jumpy Dumpty was not only cute but also had considerable DMG.
Makoto quickly unlocked the skill and stored it in his skill library.
Soon, Makoto performed the third pull.
It was a purple light, and when the light dissipated,
A 4-star skill came into view,
Named 'Transcendence: Baleful Omen'.
That was the Electro Archon Ei's elemental skill.
