Chapter 541: Fireworks are fleeting, like flowers blooming then perishing
"Eh? You don't know what fireworks are?"
After hearing Sayo's words, Yoimiya clearly froze, then tilted her small head into a thinking pose.
"Then I really need to think hard about how to describe it to you..."
"Ah, I've got it!"
Little Yoimiya suddenly clapped her hands and said excitedly to Sayo.
"Fireworks are things that fly high into the sky, then boom and explode, and then whoosh down in a shower."
Yoimiya used her limited vocabulary to explain with great emotion to Sayo what fireworks were.
But little Sayo still listened in a fog.
"Oh well, oh well, it's fine, it's fine. It doesn't matter if you don't understand."
Seeing that after explaining for so long the other person still didn't understand, Yoimiya simply gave up on explaining what fireworks were.
"Wait a bit, I'll treat you to a firework show and you'll know."
"Let me tell you, our family's fireworks are famous throughout Inazuma."
"But to say it's good, after watching the fireworks you have to teach me archery!"
"Although I lost this time, it doesn't mean I'll always lose to you."
"Next time I'll definitely find another time to compete with you."
Yoimiya put her hands on her hips, looking cute and innocent.
Especially when mentioning her family's fireworks, Yoimiya's face was filled with pride.
It seems she really likes fireworks.
"Hmm, no, I have to ask big brother first."
Little Sayo looked like she really wanted to go see the fireworks.
But in the end, she forcibly held back her curiosity and politely declined Yoimiya's invitation, after all, this "453" matter needed Jiang Yan's approval.
"Is that so..."
"Then is your big brother around here?"
Yoimiya looked around in some confusion, while Sayo turned to look behind her,
Jiang Yan smiled slightly; he had been watching the movements of the two little ones the whole time just now.
Realizing he should make an appearance, Jiang Yan walked forward, gently rubbed little Sayo's small head, and said with a smile:
"If you want to go, go. Big brother has no objection."
"Just right, let's all go together; we were originally going to watch the fireworks at night anyway."
Sayo looked up at Jiang Yan, then nodded.
"Okay."
Then little Sayo looked at Yoimiya beside her who was observing Jiang Yan and said to her:
"Um, Yoimiya, I, I want to go see the fireworks."
"Hmm? Of course! I was originally going to take you to see the fireworks!"
Yoimiya gave Sayo a grin, looking very happy.
Like a sunny, cheerful big girl!
Compared to Yoimiya's sunny, cheerful, chattering non-stop appearance, Sayo spoke significantly less.
"Then, I apologize for the trouble."
This was the sentence Sayo thought about for a long time and then squeezed out.
"Alright, Yoimiya, right? You really are a cheerful and lively girl."
Jiang Yan said with a chuckle, then he continued:
"So next we are going to check out other activities. Little Yoimiya, do you want to come along?"
Jiang Yan naturally extended his invitation.
After all, one more kid doesn't make a difference, and one less kid doesn't either.
"Eh? Me? I won't go."
Although Yoimiya was socially bold, she hadn't reached the level of a silly social butterfly who would say "You're actually quite nice" even after being kidnapped.
After all, she and Jiang Yan and the others had just met, so naturally she couldn't go running around with them.
"I still need to go tell father about the evening firework display. Come and watch tonight, all of you."
Excitement and anticipation filled Yoimiya's tone.
"Okay."
Jiang Yan nodded with a smile.
Afterwards, after going on stage to receive the gift given by the organizers, Jiang Yan brought the little ones to the spectator stand where Ganyu and Raiden Makoto and others were located.
Raiden Ei was initially interested in the archery competition, but she did not take the field.
After all, as Inazuma's strongest combat power, competing with them would be purely bullying children.
"Little Sayo is truly amazing; even though she hasn't learned these skills, she still got such a high score."
Raiden Makoto praised little Sayo, who was walking over holding the gift.
"Yes, Sayo indeed has talent in this area."
Jiang Yan laughed heartily.
The other three little ones curiously gathered around Sayo, observing the prize Sayo had obtained in her hand.
"Look at this pattern, it's a little fox!"
"So cute!"
"And this one, and this one, this one looks good too."
Several little ones looked at the patterns carved on the statue, discussing excitedly.
"Alright, alright, let's study this thing when we get back."
Jiang Yan stepped forward and tapped the foreheads of all the little cuties one by one.
"Let's go; there are still many fun activities we haven't tried yet."
"Okay~"
Afterwards, Jiang Yan led Little Ganyu and the other women, along with the four little cuties, strolling leisurely through the streets of Inazuma.
Unknowingly, time had already reached evening.
Because he had promised Yoimiya to watch the fireworks together, Jiang Yan led the few little ones and the women all the way to the location of the Nagahara Fireworks Shop.
At this time, the Nagahara Fireworks Shop could not yet be called a shop; it could only be called a stall, not yet developed by Yoimiya's father, Long Zhijie.
"Yo, handsome Mr. and these young beautiful ladies, are you here to watch the fireworks too?"
At this time, Long Zhijie was still a relatively young lad; while fiddling with the black powder in his hand that looked like gunpowder, he smiled and spoke to Jiang Yan and the others.
"Yes."
Jiang Yan nodded with a smile as well.
"Invited by your daughter, Young Lady Yoimiya, we came over specifically to take a look."
"Oh, I understand!"
Upon hearing Yoimiya's name, Long Zhijie instantly understood everything.
"That girl, I was wondering why she locked herself in her room as soon as she returned, constantly fiddling with something."
"So it was because of this."
Speaking thus, Long Zhijie invited Jiang Yan and the group to come into his home.
"Yoimiya, your friends are here."
Upon entering, Long Zhijie shouted loudly.
"They say they came to see your fireworks."
"Coming, coming!"
Accompanied by a series of clattering footsteps coming down the stairs, Yoimiya walked out carrying a huge pile of things that looked like large firecrackers.
"Let's go; this firework was made specifically by me!"
