Chapter 1,143 Fireworks Take off
"It's finally about to begin."
Outside the guarded forest, Bai Qiyun stood on the high ground, looking at the dense crowd in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Thanks to the publicity of the Kamisato family, the number of tourists now is probably not even half of the people from the outlying islands.
Although more people may not necessarily mean higher consumption, more people is better than less people.
"Um."
Kamisato Ayaka stood next to him, wearing a blue and white kimono, with a snow-white long ponytail tied behind her head. Her whole body was like a frozen lake in the snowy mountains, extremely cold.
But there is always a warm smile at the corner of her mouth, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Such an inconsistent temperament is very appropriate on her body, making people feel that she was born this way.
"Is it really okay for you to be here now? The conference is about to start."
Bai Qiyun glanced sideways at the girl next to him.
Different from when she was practicing martial arts or receiving guests, the current Kamisato Ayaka had a faint "inviolable" sacred temperament.
This is also a peerless temperament that she has developed through conducting festivals for a long time. It is a special condition that ordinary shrine priests do not have.
For example, none of the palace ministers Bai Qiyun had met had such a temperament.
Hearing this, the smile on Ayaka's face grew stronger.
"No problem, there's still an hour until the opening ceremony...and my brother is hosting it over there."
"My brother...is it Ayato-nii?"
Bai Qiyun looked stunned. He thought Ayato Kamisari wouldn't be able to make it back in time for this event.
Well now, one of his activities has involved all the Kamisato brothers and sisters.
Seemingly sensing Bai Qiyun's thoughts, Kamisato Ayaka explained with a gentle expression.
"Mr. Bai, don't worry. The scale of this event has far exceeded usual. It's natural for my brother to come back from other places to support us."
"This... is still too much trouble for you."
Bai Qiyun sighed softly.
He really didn't want to make it so exaggerated, but he couldn't bear the fact that all the forces in this event had their own demands. He added layer by layer, and it became what he saw in front of him.
"No, these are nothing for Mr. Bai, not to mention the Kamisato family are not the only ones who have worked hard for this event."
Ayaka pointed at the wooden platform erected below, and saw that Xiao Gong, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, was busy setting up fireworks for various locations.
"That's... Xiao Palace?"
Bai Qiyun had excellent eyesight, and he immediately spotted the figure of the girl with golden-pink hair running below.
Xiaogong directed everyone and arranged the fireworks for the opening ceremony in order, just like a strategist directing soldiers to fight.
It's just that what the soldiers are holding is not artillery, but fireworks tubes.
"In addition to Miss Xiaogong, there are many people who are working hard on this."
"Yeah, I'll go catch up with them later if I have time."
Bai Qiyun was keenly aware of the strangeness in Kamisato Ayaka's previous words.
What does "for Mr. Bai" mean? Is his identity that important in the eyes of Kamisato Ayaka?
Although he is relatively satisfied with himself, he is not narcissistic to that point, even though the two of them did go through a different kind of journey before.
But if just such an experience can make this noble lady from a well-born family say such words from her mouth, then it is impossible anyway.
In this case, there is only one reason.
Bai Qiyun calmed down, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Ayato and Miss Ayaka must have talked about some interesting things recently."
As soon as these words came out, Kamisato Ayaka's face changed. The originally calm expression on the water seemed to have dropped a stone, and the water rippled slightly.
The two looked at each other, looking into the man's deep eyes, Linghua suddenly realized something and smiled.
She picked up the hem of her lower body, took a half step back, and bowed slightly.
"Kamizato Ayaka, Kamisato Ayaka, I am willing to do my best for Mr. Bai. If you have any expectations, my little girl will do her best. I hope that for the rest of my life, your glory will always shine on the lintel of Kamisato's house.
Come on, the little girl should also stand by and wait on you."
Kamisato Ayaka's words were extremely formal, and her posture could not be lowered.
Even today's Inazuma Raiden General couldn't let her say such a thing.
In other words, this is Kamisato Ayato's acquiescence to something, that is, Kamisato Ayato informed his sister about Bai Qiyun's true identity.
Bai Qiyun knew all this very well.
Seeing Ayaka Kamisato's sudden move, he was silent for a moment, then stepped forward to help the girl up.
"Ayaka, you are out of touch when you say that."
Hearing this, Kamisato Ayaka stood up and paused.
She tensed her face, trying not to change her expression in any way.
But Bai Qiyun still caught her strangeness from the slightly upward curve of the corners of her mouth.
This guy's thoughts are too guessing.
Can you be so happy just to be called by your name?
However, although Bai Qiyun complained secretly in his heart, he also understood.
What he said just now was actually Kamisato Ayaka's declaration of allegiance to him as the eldest princess of the society.
It would be very embarrassing if he didn't respond in this situation, so he directly changed his name to Ayaka, which was equivalent to acquiescing to her statement.
As for why he didn't make it clear, it can only be said that he is not as powerful as the God of Steel now, and he still cannot bear the high expectations of the people of Rice Valley.
The tacit understanding between the two now is more like an expectation for the future and a relationship based on the strong credit endorsed by General Raiden.
Just as the atmosphere between the two gradually became awkward, a bright light suddenly burst out from the darkening sky.
I saw the fireworks soaring into the sky like an arrow, exploding loudly at the highest point.
"Fireworks!"
When the crowd below saw it, they all shouted with excitement.
It seems that in Inazuma, no matter what time it is, as long as the fireworks rise into the sky, there will be people cheering anytime and anywhere.
Bai Qiyun looked down and saw Xiaogong test-firing fireworks on the beach.
"The celebration seems to be starting soon."
"Well, I'll go over now."
Kamisato Ayaka stepped forward, and the clogs on her feet kept stepping on the soil.
Suddenly, just as her figure was about to disappear from Bai Qiyun's sight, she turned around, smiled and waved to Bai Qiyun.
"Happy celebration."
The fireworks exploded in the sky again, and in the light night, the colorful rays of light tore through the night sky, falling like broken gold on everyone's faces, adding a bit of warmth to the girl's appearance.
Bai Qiyun's eyes engraved this scene deeply in his eyes.
