Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

Before long, a mature and dignified white-haired beauty rushed out.

Ayato Kamisato was also with her.

After some time apart, Ayato Kamisato has grown quite a bit taller, and his demeanor has also changed noticeably.

Although he is just a child, he has a maturity and composure that does not belong to his age.

When he saw his younger sister, Ayaka Kamisato, he was also overjoyed, but he didn't show it very clearly because there were too many outsiders around.

Before he knew it, Ayato Kamisato had grown up like a little adult.

Lady Kamisato first nodded to Fang Xun, then her loving gaze fell on Ayaka Kamisato.

She reached out and gently stroked Ayaka Kamisato's head, asking in a tender tone, "Was the boat trip tiring?"

"It's not hard work!" Ayaka Kamisato shook her head gently, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

Seeing that Ayaka was as lively and cheerful as before, Lady Kamisato breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her daughter must have been very happy during her time in Liyue.

"Mr. Fang Xun, I'm so sorry, my daughter has caused you trouble these past few days." Madam Shen Li bowed deeply to Fang Xun, her words full of apology.

Fang Xun waved his hand upon hearing this: "No, no, Linghua has always been very well-behaved and has not caused any trouble."

Well, aside from always walking barefoot on the wooden floor, occasionally staying in bed and refusing to get up, and once organizing a large-scale runaway operation, Ayaka Kamisato is still very well-behaved.

The little turtle is indeed cute, and it's also true that it likes to cause trouble.

However, in front of Lady Kamisato, Fang Xun still tried his best to praise Ayaka Kamisato.

"Linghua, you can't run around like this now that you're back."

At that moment, Ayato Kamisato walked up to his sister and spoke earnestly.

“Your family has been talking about you a lot lately, they miss you a lot.”

"Next month is your mother's birthday. Even if you're not focused on your studies, you should celebrate your mother's birthday before thinking about traveling."

Ayato Kamisato was truly terrified. Every time his younger sister stayed in Inazuma for a few days, she would go to Liyue with Fang Xun.

Those who don't know the situation might think that Ayaka Kamisato is from Liyue.

Therefore, the moment the siblings met, Ayato Kamisato told Ayaka in advance that their mother's birthday was next month.

The goal is to encourage my younger sister to stay home and spend some time with our parents during this period.

In the Shinto family and even in Inatsume, celebrating the birthdays of family members is a very important tradition, especially for parents.

“Next month is Mother’s birthday…” Ayaka Kamisato blinked. The little one had been too playful lately, and she would have forgotten about it if her brother hadn’t reminded her.

She was a little undecided and looked up at Fang Xun.

"Then stay here and keep your mother company," Fang Xun said with a smile and a relaxed tone.

"I'll come pick you up next month."

This was the first time Fang Xun had lied to a child.

Since he will be entering the snowy mountains next month, it will be impossible for him to come and pick up Ayaka Kamisato.

The promises made could not be kept.

"Okay, it's settled then. Brother Fang Xun will come pick me up next month, you can't lie to me!"

Ayaka Kamisato innocently extended her little finger: "Let's pinky swear."

"Okay, hook up."

Fang Xun chuckled and extended his little finger, hooking it with Ayaka Kamisato's finger.

"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now, never to be broken. If you lie, you're a dog."

Ayaka Kamisato spoke each word with utmost seriousness.

She knew that Fang Xun would keep his promise; he said he would come to pick her up next month and he would definitely come back.

So she appeared very relaxed and showed no reluctance whatsoever.

"Linghua, I won't be able to take care of you anymore, so you have to promise me a few things," Fang Xun said.

Ayaka Kamisato felt that Fang Xun was acting strangely today, and tilted her head in confusion, asking, "Brother Fang Xun, we've only been apart for a month, why are you suddenly so serious?"

Fang Xun smiled and said, "It's not that I'm being serious. I'm just worried that you won't be able to take good care of yourself, so I have some advice for you."

Ayaka Kamisato, unaware of the seriousness of the situation, nodded vigorously: "Okay, go ahead, I promise you!"

"First, you can't go to school on an empty stomach."

"Second, air out the blankets when the weather is nice."

"Third, when crossing the road, one must be wary of oncoming horse-drawn carriages."

Fourth, we cannot rely on the strength of others.

Fifth, you can't play barefoot on the ground.

Fang Xun rattled off five points in one breath, these instructions coming from Ultraman Jack's Five Great Oaths.

Fang Xun felt that it would be equally applicable to educating Ayaka Kamisato.

“Okay, I’ve got it.” Ayaka Kamisato nodded gently.

She hesitated for a moment, then spoke weakly, "Brother Fang Xun..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"You'll come pick me up in a month, right?"

Fang Xun laughed heartily: "Of course, we've already made a pinky promise, I'll definitely come to pick you up."

"During this time, you should stay at home and spend time with your family."

The final interpretation of Chapter 517 rests with Araki Kazuto.

In the end, Ayaka Kamisato left Fang Xun's team and stayed at home.

Although Fang Xun intended to keep the little turtle by his side, he knew that the child couldn't play outside forever and would eventually have to return to the family.

Everyone thought it was a temporary separation and didn't take it too seriously.

Only Fang Xun knew in his heart that this parting today meant that they would not see each other again for many years.

I wonder if Ayaka will burst into tears when she realizes she's been deceived.

Hopefully she won't hold a grudge.

"Ayaka, do you remember my name?"

Before leaving, Fang Xun asked a question.

"Of course I remember! Brother Fang Xun, you're acting so strange today." Ayaka Kamisato tilted her head and blinked in confusion.

"Maybe it's because you're leaving that you're feeling a little out of sorts," Fang Xun replied with a laugh, his tone relaxed.

"But it's okay, we'll see each other soon."

"Okay, see you next month!" Ayaka Kamisato waved goodbye to Fang Xun.

She wanted to continue going shopping with Fang Xun and the others, but her family seemed to prefer that she stay at home at this time.

Anyway, we'll be able to see each other again soon. It's only a month, it'll be over quickly.

With that in mind, Ayaka wasn't so reluctant to part with it.

"Okay, see you next month." Fang Xun smiled and waved goodbye.

He always pretends to be relaxed when he leaves.

Raiden Shin and Raiden Film, who were standing next to each other, exchanged a glance. They could also sense that Fang Xun seemed a little off today.

After all, they had spent so much time together, they knew Fang Xun all too well.

However, now is not the time to ask questions, because there are many children around, and we shouldn't spoil the happy atmosphere.

In addition, if Fang Xun wanted to tell them, he would definitely do so.

......

Time passed little by little, and soon it was night.

As agreed beforehand with Araki Ichito, Fang Xun brought the little ones to the beach.

"OiOi! Here! Here!"

Even from a great distance, Fang Xun could hear Arataki Ichidou's loud voice.

He suddenly understood why Araki Kazuto had chosen the suburbs as the venue for the roasted melon competition.

Because if this were in the city, such shouting would likely be considered a disturbance, and the event might even be forced to be canceled.

After all, he's Araki Ichito; nothing is outrageous enough to happen to him.

Beside Araki Kazuto were his three underlings: Mamoru, Akira, and Genta.

At this moment, four people were squatting by the fire, intently turning over the violets in their hands.

Don't think that roasting violets is easy; it's actually not difficult at all.

As long as you control the heat well and avoid burning it, it's fine.

It's actually very simple; a five-year-old child can do it perfectly well.

"Boss, your violet melon is burnt!"

At this moment, Ashou shouted nervously.

Araki Ichito quickly looked down and saw that the violet melons he was in charge of were as black as charcoal.

"How could this happen? I must have been so busy greeting them that I didn't notice that the violet was too close to the fire!" Araki Ichito exclaimed in frustration.

"Damn it! This is a violet that I painstakingly roasted, how could it be eliminated in the first round!"

Arataki Kazuto waved his hand and quickly made a decision: "This round doesn't count. I'm going to grill a violet melon again and I'm definitely going to win the championship this time!"

"Is...is this even possible?" Yuan Tai, standing beside him, was dumbfounded.

The agreed-upon competition rules were that each person would roast a violet, and the winner would see whose roasted violet was the most fragrant and delicious.
