Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

After leaving the shrine, both Hanasari and Suu became very silent.

After Paimon and Sora exchanged glances for a long time, Paimon came up to the girl and showed concern for her: "Su, what's wrong with you? You seem to be in a bad mood all of a sudden, and so does Hanasari." Hanasari seemed to be worried about something.

Su asked in a depressed mood: "Which is more painful, waiting for someone who will never come back, or knowing that the person you are waiting for is no longer here?"

Paimon and Kong were extremely surprised and didn't understand why the girl suddenly asked this question.

"Su already knows..." Hanasari sighed and told what she knew: "Akira of Asase Shrine...was a human from hundreds of years ago."

Asase Hibiki is a little shrine maiden from a fishing village. She practices with Kitsunesaigumi at Narugami Taisha Shrine. Kitsunesaigumi likes this talented and simple girl very much.

Like the frivolous man Korekami Harunosuke that the Travelers saw in the commemorative mirror, Asase Hibiki also went to Kagemukaiyama and Tengu to practice magic, and was a top and powerful shrine maiden at the time.

When the dark disaster came, Hibiki Asase bravely joined the battle and made countless achievements. After the disaster, he returned to the fishing village and spent his old age in peace.

Even though Kitsusai Palace passed away, he subconsciously still wanted to protect his disciples, so the only thunder cherry tree on Qinglai Island grew in the shrine.

Paimeng thought again: "Couldn't Qinzi be hundreds of years old?!" Sure enough, Qinzi is not an ordinary cat!

Hanasari confirmed her guess, "Nenko probably embarked on a path of cultivation and became a monster-like being."

But Qinzi said that she doesn't need food...

Hanasari guessed that Neko must have... died once, and her current body was most likely the result of her huge longing for Ah Xiang.

"Asase Hibiki was a human of that time..." Paimon understood why Su said that Neko was waiting for someone who would never come back. After all, no matter how long-lived humans are, they cannot live for hundreds of years.

"Let's think positively. Asase Hibiki is a rare person who survived the disaster!" Paimon tried to comfort her: "With such a cute and smart bed and cat to accompany her, she must have spent a very happy old age."

Su shook his head. "I...saw Asase Hibiki's diary."

The content is very jumpy. It starts with a local ghost story of Inazuma, then turns into a spiritual experience. Later, it records her thoughts and sorrows.

Asase Hibiki fell in love with the "dumb uncle Kombumaru". Later, Kombumaru, who was much older than her, was granted marriage and was about to marry a lady from a prominent family.

Later, a disaster broke out, and the two who had been avoiding each other finally confessed their feelings. The silly uncle, whose real name is Kirikiri Takamine, confessed his love to Xiang and said he would elope with her after the war was over.

"Wow!" Paimon didn't dare to listen any further, "How can you say such things before going to a war..." It was indeed Uncle Dumb!

Can you say such things before the war?! Can he come back?! Ah Xiang is so miserable!

Takamine Kirigiri, who is an expert in both sword and archery, gave his beloved bow, the Flying Thunder String, to Xiang, hoping that this bow could protect Xiang on his behalf.

Later... Later, Kirikiri Takamine did not come back.

What crawled out from the dark abyss was a blind monster transformed from his obsession, and he couldn't wait to run towards the familiar breath.

"We will save him with our bows and arrows, and fulfill the promise that was destined to be lost."

'We will use our bows and arrows to shoot down the evil spirits and drive away delusion and unnecessary attachments.'

The heart-breaking and frantic words in the diary made Su seem to see the scene at that moment——

The no longer young witch recognized her lover, and her face, covered with the ashes of war, was furrowed by tears. The flying thunder string vibrated, and the magic-destroying arrow brought eternal rest and liberation to her lover.

Many years later, the old priestess met a pirate who looked like her and Kiritake Takamine's son. In order to protect him, she untied the barrier that sealed the hatred of the Purple Lightning Kite.

The thunder and lightning that penetrated the sky and the earth ended the battle between the shogunate and the pirates, and Qinglai Island has become a dangerous and deserted place.

Paimon couldn't stop crying, "War... war and disaster..."

"War and disaster will destroy all beautiful things." Hanasari sighed, "The shrine maiden who has been faithful to her duties all her life is actually tormented by her duties all her life."

Asase Hibiki has been dead for hundreds of years, and almost no one has commented on her merits and demerits.

Su just felt a little sorry for the ignorant and simple black cat who kept holding on to the memories and waiting for the person who would never return.

If we are destined to end up separated, wouldn't it be better if we hadn't met in the first place?

His hand felt warm, and it was Sora who took the initiative to hold the girl's hand.

The boy's golden eyes were like the warm sunshine, "Because the time we spent together was so wonderful, I am so looking forward to waiting for so many years."

The destination of the trip is not the purpose. The scenery along the way and the memories created together are the most precious things.

Su stared into Kong's eyes blankly, and suddenly he understood.

Yes, is it because she is afraid of separation that she doesn't want to get to know Sora, Paimon and Hanasari? Impossible!

It's decided! She will become more clingy! She will cherish the time she spends with everyone even more!

The last group of people were basically stuck together under the "bonding" of the girl, and moved with difficulty to the location of the stone.

Everyone except the girl breathed a sigh of relief when Daisuke was gone.

It’s really nice not having to be seen or explain this weird posture!

Daisuke left them a message, saying that he and Miss Etsuko were going to look through ancient books for more clues.

The team of travelers, who had already learned from Qinzi how to adjust the stone, got to work directly and unsealed the seal here in no time.

The Purple Lightning Kite was once a magical beast so powerful that it was almost as powerful as a demon god, and Heguan was once its territory.

Later, the Purple Lightning Kite went mad and sent down thunder to destroy the civilization of Tsurugan, but was killed by Lord Ogosho.

Its strong resentment lasted for a long time, and even formed a new monster. Asase Hibiki built a shrine and a stone seal to guard the new monster, until she personally opened the seal and let the resentful lightning come to the earth again.

"In fact, the seal has not been completely broken," Hanasari looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky, "otherwise the monster would have already escaped and destroyed everything it saw, instead of just sending down thunderbolts like it is now."

However, if one wants to seal the monster in the thundercloud again, it is not feasible to just adjust the suppressing stone.

Su: "So we have to beat it up, beat it into submission and weaken it, and only when it has no energy to make trouble can we seal it again, right?"

Hanasari laughed and stroked the hair of the girl who had learned to answer quickly, "Sou's understanding of the work of the miko is getting deeper and deeper."
