Chapter 532: Inazuma's Yae Miko Festival (Please Subscribe!!)
The Shogun's Castle.
When Jiang Yan returned with Little Ganyu and the others, only Raiden Makoto and Lei Dianying were sitting there.
"Hmm? Where are Kitsune Saiguu and Chiyoko?"
Jiang Yan looked around but could not find any sign of Kitsune Saiguu or Torachiyo.
"Oh, Chiyoko went out and hasn't returned yet, so Kitsune Saiguu went to look for her out of worry."
Raiden Makoto explained to Jiang Yan.
"I see."
Jiang Yan nodded, then turned his gaze to Lei Dianying on the side.
Since Jiang Yan entered, Lei Dianying had been staring nonstop at the bag he was holding.
That's right; the bag in Jiang Yan's hand contained exactly Dango.
A deep look of longing flashed in Lei Dianying's eyes.
That's right; she had absolutely no resistance to sweets.
"No need to stare."
Jiang Yan said to Lei Dianying with a smile.
Then, he held the bag out in front of Lei Dianying and continued:
"I bought this for you, and Makoto, come have some too."
Lei Dianying's eyes suddenly lit up.
The brilliance that burst forth in that instant nearly dazzled Jiang Yan's eyes.
"Why did you buy so many?"
After hearing Jiang Yan's words, Raiden Makoto also walked over.
But when she saw that the bag in Jiang Yan's hand held more than a dozen Dango, she frowned slightly and said to Lei Dianying.
"Ayi, you can't eat too much; eating too many sweets will cause cavities."
Hearing Raiden Makoto's warning, Lei Dianying's hand, which had just reached for a Dango, trembled violently.
"It's fine, Makoto."
Lei Dianying looked at Raiden Makoto with a very serious expression.
"As for cavities, we can just change the set."
Obviously, Lei Dianying thought that everything Jiang Yan bought was for her.
Jiang Yan gently flicked Lei Dianying's forehead and said:
"You can only eat two."
"Eh?"
Lei Dianying widened her eyes, wearing an expression that said, "Why are you just like Makoto?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"Silly, these were bought to be shared with everyone."
"Not only is two per person just right, but if you eat too much at once, how will you eat dinner tonight?"
After Jiang Yan's explanation, Lei Dianying finally gave up the Idea of Dropping all the Dango in front of her.
Her drooling gaze made Jiang Yan wonder if he should go buy more.
After Kitsune Saiguu and Torachiyo returned, Jiang Yan and Raiden Makoto had prepared dinner and served it.
Little Ningguang and the other little ones were probably tired from playing; after dinner, they lay in Jiang Yan's arms, their small heads nodding, looking as if they were about to fall asleep.
After settling the little ones down to rest, Jiang Yan saw that the time was about right and said to Little Ganyu:
"Little Ganyu, I'm going to see Kamisato Ayaka; tell Makoto and the others, and I'll be back soon."
Little Ganyu knew about the arrangement between Jiang Yan and Kamisato Ayaka, so she didn't say much, just nodded.
"Then come back early."
"Okay."
Jiang Yan responded, then opened the Chuansong Sect and arrived directly inside Kamisato Ayaka's room.
At this moment, Little Ayaka was wearing pajamas, lying on the bed with nothing to do, feeling both excited and somewhat expectant.
Because Brother Jiang Yan had promised to come over tonight to tell her a story!
Sure enough, before long, a Chuansong Sect suddenly opened in her room.
It was Brother Jiang Yan!
Ayaka excitedly jumped off the bed; since she had stayed at Jiang Yan's house, she was naturally very familiar with the Chuansong Sect he opened.
"Brother Jiang Yan!"
When she saw Jiang Yan step out of the Chuansong Sect, Ayaka happily threw herself into his arms.
"Alright, it's almost time for sleep, so stop being so restless."
Jiang Yan carefully straightened the pajamas Little Ayaka was wearing; that sudden hug had messed up the little one's pajamas.
Then, Jiang Yan carried Little Ayaka to the bed, gently laid her down, and covered her with a small blanket.
"Brother Jiang Yan, what story will you tell today?"
Little Ayaka curled up in her blanket like a little dumpling; she poked out her small head and looked at Jiang Yan with a Face Full of Expectation.
"Hmm... let me think."
Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, and after a short while, he smiled and said to Ayaka:
"How about this, I'll tell you a story about a Princess."
"A Princess?"
Little Linghua voiced her puzzled question.
"Well, in a faraway land called the Frost Nation, there was a girl whose name was Snow White..."
That's right—after some rearranging, Jiang Yan had come up with a Teyvat version of Snow White.
The story itself was no different from the original; only the setting had been changed by Jiang Yan to the land where Snezhnaya lay.
Little Linghua listened utterly spellbound, and even let out a gasp when she heard the wicked old man called the Doctor pull out a poisoned apple and tell Snow White to take a bite.
"That Doctor is so mean!"
That was Little Linghua's very first impression of the wicked old man called the Doctor.
Well, the Doctor has plenty of segments; one wicked-old-man segment shouldn't be too much, right?
Jiang Yan muttered to himself.
"Yes, but Snow White had no idea, and after taking another bite of the apple, she collapsed onto the ground in a deathlike faint."
Afterwards, once Jiang Yan had finished telling of the Prince's appearance and the rescue by the seven dwarfs, this part of the story came to an end.
"Alright, little one, the story's done—time for bed."
Jiang Yan gently rubbed Little Linghua's head and spoke in a soft tone.
But Linghua clearly still wanted more.
Still, she also knew it was getting late and that she had to hurry to sleep.
"Brother Jiang Yan, when the festival starts in a couple of days, can Linghua come find you?"
