The afternoon was originally supposed to be just for resting, but unexpectedly it turned into giving Yumemizuki Mizuki psychological counseling…
Still, it wasn't entirely surprising. After all, considering the future where Yumemizuki Mizuki and Lady Yae would end up competing with each other…
Oh~ No wonder Mizuki suddenly got angry. She realized that Lady Yae wasn't treating her like a true best friend and was shouldering everything alone—that's why she was mad~
While flying through the sky with little Yoimiya in tow, the older gentleman finally figured it out and nodded to himself.
"Old uncle, what's wrong?"
After trying it out high in the air, little Yoimiya's courage had grown quite a bit. Now she even dared to spread her arms wide.
"Nothing, I was just thinking that next time I get the chance, I definitely have to teach you how to use the Wings of Anemo."
Although flying while tied to little Yoimiya wasn't impossible…
But still…
The older gentleman felt that flying like this made him look a bit like an airborne child abductor.
Tying up a kid and flying off with them…
It would be better to just teach little Yoimiya how to use the Wings of Anemo properly. The older gentleman still cared quite a bit about his reputation.
"Really? But… old uncle must be really busy as Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou, right?"
Little Yoimiya looked very happy, but she still instinctively worried about delaying the older gentleman's affairs…
Meanwhile, the older gentleman began mentally calculating his upcoming daily schedule…
He definitely couldn't skip the lessons with the Raiden Shogun. The afternoons were packed with study sessions, government affairs, and teaching time for little Sara…
The only free time he could squeeze out was in the evenings…
He still needed to hurry and work as a fictional historian to write The Glorious Nation of Liyue…
"Old uncle, actually I can learn by myself. You really don't have to force yourself."
Big sister Yoimiya instantly saw through the fact that the older gentleman was very busy.
"It's fine. I still have some time at night."
Writing could be pushed back a little anyway. The summer submission period for Yae Publishing House was quite long. At 4,000 words a day, that's 120,000 words a month—but a single volume only needed 100,000 words…
Thinking of this, the older gentleman nodded in satisfaction.
Anyway, nobody reads the book. It wouldn't matter even if he slacked off completely.
Mhm… though Miyuki might have opinions about it…
If I have time after a bath, I'll write a thousand words before bed to appease her.
"Really?"
Little Yoimiya sounded a little doubtful.
"Absolutely. Tonight after dinner, I'll come teach you how to play with the Wings of Anemo."
The older gentleman, having squeezed out the time, spoke with full confidence.
Once she was sure it wouldn't delay the older gentleman, big sister Yoimiya looked very happy.
"Mhm! Then it's a promise, okay!"
"Of course. It's a promise."
The older gentleman gave a gentle smile.
Come to think of it, this kind of "promise made" scene feels really familiar…
Back then, little Hu Tao even set up a death flag for me, saying something like "If I ever feel like I'm going to die, I'll change into that plum-blossom black outfit…"
But later I did return to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor wearing that outfit, and I really did lie in a coffin and come back once…
And then there was little Barbara, whom I actively sought out right after arriving in this world…
"How about we make a promise? Once you become an official idol, and I become a renowned great adventurer, you'll hold a grand concert just for me—how about it?"
Come to think of it, I should probably count as a renowned great adventurer by now…
But little Barbara probably hasn't become an official idol yet.
Still, it doesn't matter. The promise never said I couldn't attend little Barbara's concert.
And although I've sent letters, I don't know if little Barbara has forgotten about me…
I kind of want to go back to Mondstadt first, but Eula still hasn't found her own path yet, and I'm not at ease leaving her alone—so I can't return to Mondstadt just yet…
Damn it, am I really going to end up like Childe and be forever separated from Mondstadt?
