Genshin Impact: Great, you guys still remember

Chapter 257 Pink New Year Gift (Part )

Just like the immortals and beasts before Liyue attained enlightenment, Inazuma's monsters are actually indistinguishable from animals when they are young.

The same foraging, the same competition, the same obedience to the laws of nature, until one day their bloodline awakens or their spiritual wisdom is born, and they officially become monsters.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why monsters still retain their wildness.

However, the above monsters are all those who wander outside alone and are not family-based monsters. Compared with them, those monsters born in families seem much happier, such as the Baichen Fox Clan, the Yuyu Ghost Clan, the Tengu Clan...

But obviously, this little fox was not lucky.

Because she is pink——

Except for the Baichen fox clan, the other foxes in Inazuma's family are mostly khaki and pink foxes, which Inazuma had never seen before her.

...

The little fox always felt that he was different from other foxes.

This difference is not that my pink hair stands out among the rustic foxes,

But on the other hand -

When she saw other foxes fighting over food or territory, she always thought it was... well, childish?

It seems that these natural competitions should not belong to me.

No, it’s not that I shouldn’t, but I feel disdainful, as if I saw a group of little kids fighting over toys.

But territory and food are not toys, and foxes in nature are not little kids.

There is a golden rule in nature - rejection.

Those who stand out from the crowd will always be squeezed out in various ways.

You are all foxes, why are you pretending to be a grandson? You are covered in pink hair and are so coquettish. I have disliked you for a long time!

Two claws cannot defeat four hands. Don't look down on a poor fox.

Just go——

...

"Oi, slurp, slurp, do you want to eat this?"

In the summer, Inazuma Castle seems to have a festival every day, called something like "Summer Festival". The little fox likes the Summer Festival.

To be precise, she likes bustles, likes many people gathering together, likes the sparks exploding in the sky, likes the faint smell of gunpowder in the air, likes the red lanterns hanging on the eaves...

She likes the atmosphere of human life, which is not available in the wilderness.

Apart from--

"Uh-huh-huh-"

What are you sucking? She avoided the dried fish against her lips and rolled her eyes.

"Do you want?"

The peddler girl was still trying to persuade him with the dried fish in her hand, which moved closer and farther away:

"Bow, bow and I'll give you the food."

The free right hand on the other side was ready to touch her at any time.

I've never seen a pink fox before.

Besides these humans were all very interested in her.

Humph--

But the little fox was already holding its head high and walking away slowly with cat steps.

Want to touch me? No way. A gentleman does not accept food given out of pity.

But a gentleman can also starve to death.

After all, excitement can't be eaten.

...

Fishing for goldfish, lion dancing, crackling firecrackers, women twisting on the stage...

The mist dissipated, and the sun shone brightly, rising in the east and setting in the west, until now,

Smoke from cooking fires gradually rose from every household in Inazuma Castle. People who had come to the summer festival went home, and the lively day entered a brief cooling-off period.

The little fox casually lay on the eaves of a house, staring at the red sun in the distance, yawning, and occasionally lowering his head to take a bite of the fresh fish just caught from the river.

The breeze on a summer night is always a little cool. As the breeze blew, she wrapped her big tail and looked at the fresh fish in her mouth. Suddenly, she felt a little bored.

People always say that the most uncomfortable moment is the loneliness after the hustle and bustle. It is a kind of empty loneliness.

But the little fox now definitely doesn't understand these things.

She only knew that the only thing wrapped around her now was her tail, the only thing she ate was the fish she caught from the river, and the only thing that accompanied her was the upcoming moonlight.

And these have nothing to do with the summer festival.

In fact, all that excitement never belonged to her.

But she has gotten used to it, or rather, she feels that this is what is destined.

After all, her color was destined to be out of tune with her ethnic group.

...

But little one, you have to know that loneliness is never a habit.

That's because you've never had company.

...

Like all animals, the little fox doesn't like winter very much compared to summer.

Because winter is very cold,

I can still find food myself, but I can't find land.

Animals are more sensitive to territory than food, or in other words, food is already included in the territory.

When the first snow fell on Inazuma, she knew it was time to find a place to avoid the cold.

She had only experienced two winters. The first winter was spent in an abandoned ship. Later, a group of people came and the ship was cleaned up.

The second winter, there was a relatively large cave, but unfortunately it was soon occupied by several people holding cold and shining knives.

What about this year?

If you can't find it for now, you can only go to Inazuma Castle to avoid the cold.

Inazuma Castle is also very lively in winter. After the east wind blows the first snow, lanterns are lit up on the streets of the entire Inazuma Castle.

Lantern Festival,

The little fox heard these three words from people's words, and thought that this must be the winter festival of mankind.

Along with it, words such as 'Wish', 'Celebration', and 'Mr. Narukami' also appeared.

If you make a wish to these lights, Lord Naruto will grant it?

She looked at the lights that flowed like water and thought silently.

But...she doesn't seem to have any wishes.

Food and shelter are not wishes, but needs. Longing for bustle is not a wish, but a hobby.

She has no wishes.

Her heart is as lonely as she is.

...

In fact, before she was excluded, she heard other foxes say,

Small animals like them are a vulnerable group in the wild. Any wild animal, whether it is a wild boar or a wild wolf, can crush them.

But they have a great advantage - the Baichen Fox Clan,

The Mingjin Taisha Shrine was established, and Kitsuna-saigu became the chief priest. The status of the Baichen fox clan also rose, and these wild foxes became the auspicious animals of Inazuma.

So there was another way, which was to be taken in and raised by humans.

This is a huge thing that is recognized by almost all foxes. Food and shelter are all solved at once. If it is not a good thing, what is?

It was indeed a good thing. The little fox knew clearly that this was a step to success.

But for some reason, she could never accept being held in someone's arms and caressed as a pet.

That is the pride that comes from the blood.

But are there any foxes of pink bloodline?

I don’t know, so the other foxes just thought she was being pretentious and disliked her even more.

...

Maybe it's really pretentious.

...

The snow fell heavily until it covered the dead grass and the roots of the trees, and finally froze the river. She had no food left.

Hungry, thirsty, sleepy and cold, the little fox was already a little confused, and his beautiful fluffy tail began to become stiff.

With a kick of his legs, his whole body fell into the snowdrift, leaving only his small butt and big tail exposed.

I don't know what she was thinking when the biting snow enveloped her and the coldness penetrated her heart.

Do you regret not finding an owner?

Or do you feel regretful that in the end there is no one around you?

I don't know, but she was too weak to crawl out of the snow. Her mind gradually became stiff, her vision became blurry, and her ears began to buzz...

So be it.

She thought weakly, her eyelids about to droop...

Chachacha——

But at this moment, there was a sound of stepping on snow.

"what?"

This is a very pleasant female voice, soft, gentle and peaceful:

"Mr. Lei Long, do mushrooms grow in winter? They're actually pink."

"Mushrooms? Let me see."

There was another sound of stepping on the snow, accompanied by a man's voice, clear and mellow.

He seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then there were the sounds of footsteps approaching quickly.

"Hey, this is not a mushroom."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little fox felt his tail being grabbed.

Then—snap,

After a burst of dazzling sunlight, I saw an upside-down face. It was the man's face.

It was very strange. It was clearly the first time they met, but the little fox saw many emotions in his eyes that he had never seen before.

First there was surprise, then a flash of heartache, and finally the understanding that fell into the eyes.

There was also a strange sentence, which was the last sentence she heard before she fainted:

"Oh it's you."

...

It was also a sentence that troubled her for the rest of her life.

--------

It is really hard to find out the exact age of the little fox form of the Son of God, so just leave it as it is. If I’m wrong, just consider it a second creation.
