The Treasure Hunt ended when Yoimiya's team found the treasure chest and won the game. The treasure had surprises inside the chest for the winners to keep. 

Inside were free souvenirs. The team was overjoyed and thanked the host for the fun experience. "Congratulations Yoimiya and your team. That was so much fun" Momo said.

"Thank you Momo," Yoimiya said as her team aka the kids and Io were still looting the surprises inside the chest.

"Lady Momo look what I got," Io said she showed Momo a little figurine of a lucky cat. "It's so cute" Io added as she held it close. "I'm so happy I got this for free."

"Your cat figurine brings luck, you know. It's a charm for good fortune," Ayato said with a smile.

The kids got their souvenirs and they said goodbye to Yoimiya as they went to meet up with their parents.

"Where gonna go look around and see if Sayuri and Hiro are here," Kimi said as Yasuhiro and Io went with her. 

"Sure just meet us at the Mondstadt's food stall for dinner," Momo said. The group agreed as they left.

"Since we still got time before dinner why don't you take us to your stall so you can show us how you make your fireworks," Ayato said.

"Alright then follow me," Yoimiya said as she led Ayato and Momo to her workshop/stall which is right on the beach. After a five-minute walk, they went inside her tent that is filled with various materials for making fireworks and a table set up with all the tools.

"So this is where I make my fireworks and other stuff. This table is where I assemble the fireworks while this area here is where I store the materials." Yoimiya explained as she showed them around. 

"So to make fireworks, I start by selecting the right materials. I then shaped the metal into a tube, then coated it with a chemical and wrapped it with paper. I load the tube with a mixture of black powder and a special binding agent that serves as the fuel. After that, I add a layer of colourful pyrotechnic powder, which is what makes the fireworks so beautiful". 

"Finally, I seal the tube and let it dry for 20 hours. Me and my father already made lots of them for the fireworks show. He's at home making more fireworks so he will be coming and bringing them here in a few days to get everything prepared for the show" 

"I also make fire sprinklers out of thin metal stinks and paper. They're quite easy to make. I just need to soak the metal stinks in water until it's soft enough to bend, then I wrap the paper around it and let it dry. Once it's dry and ready, just light the top of the stink and it shoots out sparks. Those are always a big hit with the kids." Yoimiya explained.

"Let me show you how I make the fire sprinklers first since it won't take too long," Yoimiya offered, leading Ayato and Momo to a nearby worktable. She carefully soaked some metal stinks in a large basin of water, making sure they were thoroughly saturated. 

Once they were pliable, she wrapped them tightly with coloured paper, securing them with a dab of glue. She explained the process, pointing out which colours would create different effects when lit.

So these will be placed in front of your stall?" Momo asked, admiring the intricate design on one of the sprinklers.

"Yes, that's right. I'm going to put them out when it gets dark to make the stall more festive and I plan to set off a firework to get the customers' attention. I already made so many for the next four days" Yoimiya replied with a smile.

Yoimiya continues to work on the fire sprinkler, carefully wrapping each one with the intricate designs she's perfected over the years.

"It's amazing how you can make such beautiful things out of such simple materials," Ayato comments, watching her work with admiration.
