Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Paimon suggested: "Sora and Su should try fishing as well. I think everyone has a water ball!" They can keep it as a commemoration of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade Festival.

The owner of the water ball fishing game stall is a female monster with black hair and red eyes. She is dressed in a black and red kimono and has a gloomy temperament. The most special thing is the flower ornament on her face that covers one eye.

Su stared at her face. "How is this flower put on and fixed? Does it have eyes underneath? Won't it be uncomfortable...ah!"

Hearing the surprised voice of the human girl, Hanyuda Chizuru covered half of her face and said, "If you are scared, don't look..."

Humans are always like this! They easily disturb the hearts of monsters.

The human girl held her hand, and when she looked at her, her face showed not fear, but an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"So the eyes are in the middle of the flower," Su stared at the vertical pupils in the pistil and laughed, "How interesting, your eyes are like pearls!" There is a kind of gorgeous and weird beauty, worthy of being a monster.

“······” Facing the other party’s admiring eyes, Chizuru Hanyuda let go of the hands that were covering her face.

Humans are always like this... easily disturbing the hearts of monsters.

Before fishing away all the water balls on Chizuru Hanyuda's stall, the bonfire lit on the site attracted the attention of the traveler team.

There was not only a bonfire on the field, but also monsters dancing in a circle, with their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them, one on top of another.

"Hey boy!" The furry sickle-weasel monster Kamai invited enthusiastically, "How can you run away after winning the Akitsu Yuki? Come on, I want to take you with me in this Yulan Dance too!"

Looking at Kong who had no choice but to accept the invitation to dance with the monsters, Paimon and Su laughed and took pictures.

At this time, the fireworks that Shenzi ordered from Naganohara Fireworks Shop began to rise into the sky, adding more brilliant sparks to the lively photo.

Chizuru Hanyuda stared at Kamai who was laughing happily over there, and seemed to understand something in her heart.

She had always believed that monsters and humans had different natures and lifespans, and that monsters and humans should not have contact.

They are attracted to each other but eventually have to part in a hurry. When they wake up from the dream, only eternal longing and inconsolable pain are left.

If you can't form a bond, it will only increase loneliness. If you can't form a bond, it will only increase sadness.

But now she realizes that as a monster she should actually live a more free and easy life like Lord Kamai and most monsters.

After today, we will move the main body of the Haneko Board that has been damaged by moisture at the seaside to a more suitable place.

"Time flies and life is fleeting, so we should enjoy it while we can." A voice expressed what she realized at the moment.

Chizuru Hanyuda turned her head and said, "You...you are..." She shouldn't know such a big monster, but why did she feel somewhat familiar?

The Son of God just smiled and said nothing, walking towards the group of travelers not far away, "We should go back to Narukami Taisha." It's time to hold the final ceremony.

In the open space under the sacred cherry tree, the Son of God has already set up the training ground.

The fireworks heralded the end of the festival, and when the fireworks faded, the spirits of the monsters and the dead, who had enjoyed themselves so much, broke away from their paper figures and transformed into black mist, circling in the air, whispering to each other and making intermittent laughter.

Paimon was shocked. “Such a large area! Are they all...?” Although the festival was lively, it seemed that the number of monsters did not exceed a thousand?

"Those who can transform independently with the help of paper dolls are all big monsters. More small monsters rely on the combined power of many memories to form a paper doll." There are also many monsters that have transformed into the appearance of tools, so it is normal that Paimon did not notice them.

Holding the Kagura bell, the child of God looked up at the sky above, "It has been a long time since they have stretched their muscles and flown in the sky like this."

Let her lend them a helping hand.

The Kagura bells rang, accompanied by the glow of the sacred cherry tree. The black fog and light spots that were previously hovering in the air seemed to gain strength, and countless light spots, bright and dark, hovered up with the black fog and rushed towards the bright moon.

The full moon was completely covered, and every point of light was the memory of a monster. Looking up, it looked like the sky was filled with stars.

When the moonless night comes, the monsters form a new starry sky above Inazuma.

Looking at this scene, Paimeng couldn't help but murmured: "So this is the moonless night..." It is so similar to the murals in Yourakuzhai.

"The preparations for the ceremony have actually been made long ago," Shen Zi reminded the Traveler Team, "Do you remember the spell that I added to the novel that needs to be chanted on a moonless night?"

"Miss Fox's secret technique?" Su looked at this "Miss Fox".

Shen Zi nodded, "Yes, that spell is a technique that can soothe the memory of the earth veins. Let the people of Inazuma help send them off."

“They were all a bunch of noisy guys, but also a bunch of good guys. Even if they died in the brutal battle, their souls were never sad or confused. Unfortunately, time was short…”

The Son of God waved the Kagura bell. The Son of God, who had always behaved unruly in front of the group of travelers, now showed the compassion and holiness of a priestess.

The blessing Kagura dance and the formation resonated, and golden light shot up into the sky.

This is the belated and grand farewell between the Son of God and the monsters.

"The feast must come to an end. Say it with me."

The Son of God and the Traveler Team chanted together—

[Declare Baichen, the reason for calming the soul]······

At the foot of the mountain, the witches who had avoided this special ceremony and the little goblins in the forest put their fingertips together and chanted spells to soothe the earth veins.

······【Allow me to make a wish and lead the way home】

I remember that on the moonless night, people chanting incantations hurried out of the room, looking at the mist and stars in the sky, chanting devoutly.

······【Fear of divine power, terrified and fearful】

Golden spots of light flew out from all over Inazuma Castle, guiding the spirits of the monsters whose wishes had been fulfilled to return to the earth to rest in peace.

The Son of God watched the stars passing by, with light flashing in his eyes.

"Yourakusai, you asked me before if I was doing well, and I really am very happy every day."

But now watching you leave, I still feel a little lonely. Well, just a little bit.

When the souls of the monsters completely return to the earth, the bright moon hanging in the sky still emits a cool light.

"The ceremony went smoothly. Thank you so much this time." Shen Zi said with a smile, "The manuscript fee and the commission fee have been transferred to your account."

No one in the Traveler Team cares about this at all now. Su looked at the Son of God with a worried expression, "Son of God..." Are you okay?

After the One Hundred Demons Night Parade ended, even she felt a sense of loss. As the child of God who had a long and deep relationship with the monsters, she should not force herself to smile when facing another separation...

"Well, I'm fine." The Son of God still had that smiling expression, but his voice was a little choked.

"It's okay, I'm fine, I..." The child of God, who was hugged by Su, didn't know who she was explaining to, until a tear fell from her eyelashes. She suddenly stopped and buried her face in the girl's shoulder.

Feeling the Son of God's trembling body, the voice in Su's heart gradually became clearer.

She wants to cherish the connections with everyone and all the happy times.
