Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

The girl rolled back and forth on the ground out of boredom, her long hair tangling her into a black cocoon.

When the doll was a little anxiously wondering if she was trapped by her hair and needed help, the "black cocoon" began to "gurgle" like a bug.

After "gurgling" for a while, the black cocoon suddenly lay flat and motionless, as if the insect in the cocoon had lost its dream.

Puppet: ...

Su’s enjoyment was so short-lived. After all, it was really, extremely, boring here!

The puppet stopped making a bed with maple leaves and said, "Why don't I go climb the mountain? I'll practice more and I'll definitely be able to climb it!"

Upon hearing this, "Black Cocoon" made new movements. A crack opened at the end of its head, and its big dark eyes swayed left and right twice.

The puppet began to interpret, "Xi means don't go?"

This time the eyes moved up and down.

"I guessed right!" The puppet was very happy that he and the girl had such a good rapport. "Xi, you're probably worried that I'd get hurt. Thank you, Xi, you're so nice!"

Su, who had been behaving more and more like a female ghost recently, closed her eyes, not wanting to see the doll's happy expression.

She seemed to be tied to the puppet and couldn't leave on her own, and the puppet's ability to escape was negative.

In fact, she also saw that the doll didn't really want to go out. He was the type who liked to settle down in a fixed place.

Please, in this case you should go out and see different scenery and then choose a good place to settle down.

She really, really wants to go out and play! She wants to go out, wants to go out, wants to go out!

Then he really went out.

A group of strong men who came to the mountains to mine for unknown reasons discovered the huge rock that blocked the gate of the villa. After great efforts, they dug a small hole.

The doll was discovered by the samurai who came in to explore.

"Idiot! I told you to hide!" Su stood in front of the doll with a cautious look on his face.

The one who discovered the doll was an honest-looking Inazuma samurai. He looked at the doll, which was beautiful but obviously not human, with surprise on his face but no fear in his eyes.

"Are you being held captive here? Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Do you... want to come with me?"

Then the puppet followed him.

Sue floated backwards in front of the puppet, cursing, "Are you stupid? You believed him when he said he was a good man? You even took the initiative to follow him! You'll cry when he sells you out!"

She was so angry! Does this puppet have any common sense? How dare she follow someone she just met?!

When she first met Paimon and Sora, she observed them carefully and only followed them after confirming that their initial partners were all good people!

Paimon always says she has no common sense! She should see a puppet who really has no common sense.

Well, she wanted to Paimon...

"Don't worry," the puppet, sensing the girl's concern for him, explained, "I can sense that Katsuragi-kun is a good person."

The warrior looked at him without greed or fear, and reminded him to remember to hide the golden feather on his body.

"You... who are you talking to?" The people in the team who had been quietly observing the puppets looked pale.

"With my friend," the puppet introduced his friend to everyone, "She is here, her name is "Xi"."

After realizing that no one can see Su, the doll describes the girl's appearance, "Xi is very beautiful! Her skin is as white as frost on grass leaves, and her long black hair is like satin and falls on...Xi's hair covers her face again..." Is she shy? So cute!

The people in the team were terrified when they heard this. This... is this really not a female ghost or a monster? !

Their Inazuma, there really is such a strange creature!

"Don't be afraid!" Gui Mu said very experiencedly: "It should be an imaginary friend or something like that."

Lonely children will fantasize about non-existent friends who will always accompany them when they are young.

“So...so that’s how it is..." The team members who trusted their captain Katsuragi very much felt relieved.

These people are really good people. They brought the dolls to where they live and work - Tadashi Sand.

Tamashii Sand is the main forging place of Inazuma, and the people living here are basically swordsmiths, miners and their families.

Katsuragi's superior was a nobleman named Miyomi Nagamasa. Although he looked cold and serious, he easily agreed to take in the doll that was obviously not human.

Miyano Nagamasa and his adjutant Katsuragi are very busy on weekdays, so Niwa Hisahide, who likes the new young man very much, takes the initiative to take care of the doll.

The Niwa family is one of the "Issin Sanden" who inherited the sword-forging techniques of General Raiden. This young man, who is also from an aristocratic family, not only has a good appearance and great forging skills, but also a kind heart.

After realizing that the puppet was ignorant of the ways of the world, he taught him how to read and write, and taught him forging techniques, like a friend and a brother.

"Learn some skills to support yourself, and you will never have to worry about food wherever you go in the future!" Niwa smiled with his big white teeth.

Although the doll doesn't need to eat, he is very grateful for Niwa's kindness.

Su also thinks that the enthusiastic and kind-hearted Niwa is a good person, and there is a touch of red in his hair like Manyo!

Su also "advised" her to study, "It's good to have many skills! You should study hard and learn well." The most important thing is to find something to do, and stop following her every day!

Although Su couldn't run a few miles, he could at least walk around the area.

Su, who thought he had been transported to Inazuma early due to a bug, would go to the beach every day to wait for the boat carrying Sora and Paimon.

Although he couldn't hear what the girl said, the doll could sense her intention for him to study hard under Niwa.

The puppet followed Niwa obediently to learn, and would also take the initiative to help with chores within his ability such as cooking. The meals he cooked won unanimous praise from everyone.

The constant stream of praises such as "Delicious!" and "Gourmet!" gave the puppet some confidence in his or her cooking skills.

The doll came to the beach with a basket and saw from afar a translucent girl chasing after the children and blowing wind on their necks. Finally, the children, feeling something was wrong, all ran back home screaming.

Su: "The tide is coming in, and you're still playing! Still playing! If you get washed away by the waves, your parents will cry!"

Although I don't know what the girl said, but seeing her proud look with her hands on her hips, she must have felt a great sense of accomplishment.

The puppet waved at the girl and shouted her name.

"Are you looking for me to eat again?" Su was dissatisfied, but he still flew over and sat on the high reef with the puppet, "I told you I can't eat! You are just trying to make me greedy!"

After hearing that ghosts can enjoy food by absorbing the "qi" of food, the doll would prepare a portion of delicious food to share with the girl. In order not to waste it, the doll ate the food that had been absorbed by the "qi" and cooled.

It was the same today. The doll ate its own half, and then waited until the one in front of the girl got cold before eating it too.

"Eating half hot and the other half cold, I think you are really sick." It's not a ghost at all, there is no such thing as absorbing the "qi" of food. Su just thought it was a quirk of the doll.

After finishing his meal and packing up his things, the puppet reached out his hand to the girl. Su jumped directly onto his back, put his hands around the puppet's neck, and rested his chin on the top of the puppet's head.

She was a little tired after playing for a whole day, and it felt more relaxed without having to float herself. Besides, she was so light now that she wouldn't tire the weak doll at all.

Although I still can't touch her, the doll feels like there is weight on its head, giving it a strange sense of security.
