Genshin Impact: Hello! Traveler

"Of course one of my best friends!"

Linghua listened to these words but they did not move her much.

Or maybe that's how travelers treat everyone.

"I want to hear your most honest answer, please look at me carefully..."

Maybe it was the buff brought by the alcohol, Linghua suddenly leaned sideways towards the traveler and gently held the traveler's rosy cheeks with both hands.

When her palm touched the slightly warm skin of the traveler, Linghua felt that she was more "awake" than ever before.

She panted heavily, her eyes were full of affection, and she looked at the traveler's handsome face tenderly:

"Do you like me? The kind of love between lovers..."

"What?" The traveler suddenly cleared his mind.

"Do you... love me?" Linghua didn't even dare to say it to him in her dreams, but now she mustered up the courage to say it.

"..." The traveler was silent for a while, then slowly said:

"Linghua, do you know the meaning of love?"

"Falling hopelessly in love with someone and being willing to give everything for him..." Linghua expressed the explanation of love that was once found in a novel.

"Sora, you are the only person who has ever walked into my heart. By your side, I feel a warmth that I have never felt before."

"Unlike my family, you give me a feeling more like the relationship between the hero and heroine in a novel."

"At this point, are you still trying to avoid my feelings? I just want an answer from you."

As she spoke, tears appeared in Linghua's eyes, and she cried a little:

"I don't want to be just a passing guest on your journey."

"I'm going to die, and I'd like to experience this before I go--"

Suddenly, the traveler interrupted Linghua.

"What are you talking about? Aren't you fine, Linghua?"

Holding Linghua gently, the traveler comforts this elegant flower.

He carefully wiped the crystal in her eyes with his hands, held her in his arms, and gently stroked Linghua's silver hair.

"..."

Feeling his body temperature, Linghua pressed against the traveler's chest. The girl remained silent, feeling the wet heat from her ears.

"Is it because you are too lonely..." the traveler said gently.

For a traveler's good friend, his comfort is undoubtedly the best medicine.

His soft boyish voice and dazzling blond hair make him a good person to talk to when you are sad.

Even though he looks like a teenager, his rich experience is enough to support his somewhat didactic words.

"Yeah, I missed you..." Linghua curled up in the traveler's arms. The affection after drinking and the close contact of her skin against the traveler's exposed belly made the girl feel dizzy at the moment...

"I didn't expect that I hold such an important position in Linghua's heart..." The traveler looked at the white unidentified creature snoring in the distance, with a smile on his face.

"Today, please forgive me for taking up some of your time..." Linghua seemed to have made up her mind and suddenly exerted force to push the traveler down.

The feeling of déjà vu immediately dissipated most of the traveler's drunkenness.

"Wait……"

"Hmm..." The red lips with the smell of alcohol quickly attacked him...

……

The moon sets and the sun rises, the stars disappear and the clouds open.

The dewdrops in the early morning are still crystal clear, and the remaining mist in the air permeates the sky and the earth.

A pair of sparrows landed on a branch of a tree in front of Kamisato Palace to rest, preening each other's wings.

The crisp chirping of birds announces their joyful mood.

"Traveler, Paimon, take care." Thomas was eating a string of tri-color dumplings while greeting the traveler and Paimon who were about to go up the mountain.

"We still have a lot of things to do, so we won't accompany you. Take care on your journey." Ayato waved his hand.

"Well, Ayato Toma, Hayashi Ayahua, the traveler and I will be leaving now. See you later!" Paimon waved happily to the people who came to see him off.

"Goodbye, everyone." The traveler nodded, then turned back and walked towards the rugged steep slope - Shadow Mountain.

"Wait a moment--"

Suddenly he felt his wrist being grabbed, and when he looked back he saw Linghua holding his hand.

Linghua looked at the traveler with a somewhat shy face, as if she didn't dare to look at the three familiar gazes behind her.

Thomas at the back was stunned to see that the young lady, who was always very reserved around travelers, was so bold.

Ayato didn't seem surprised, but instead watched the scene with interest.

The meaningful look was looking at the traveler.

It seems to be saying:

If you make Linghua unhappy, don't blame me for being heartless...

Zaoyou on the side seemed a little bit unbelievable.

How come the young lady is so brave?

Are you still the young lady who writes letters whenever she has something on her mind, and frantically tells herself how to dress up before meeting a traveler?

"This is for you... I hope you can accept this gift." Seeing her hand accidentally touching a bracelet that a girl gave to a traveler, Linghua also had a sense of urgency to refuse to admit defeat.

A specially made sachet, carrying the girl's small but delicate thoughts, Linghua personally fixed it around the traveler's waist.

"Let's get together again when we have time, okay?" Linghua smiled.

It seems that last night's communication was quite pleasant.

"Yes." The traveler nodded.

Linghua's face turned a little red, but she still plucked up her courage and took a step forward.

"Wait for you."

!!!

Lingren's body was trembling. Masaka, they crossed the line of taboo? !

Without waiting for Lingren to say anything, Linghua ran back, grabbed her brother's hand and walked home.

"Come on, brother, there is still a lot to do."

"..." Looking at his sister's sincere smile, Ayato didn't know what to say.

"That's it, let's go."

Before turning around, he glared at the traveler fiercely and was taken into the mansion by his sister.

"Linghua, could it be that you guys did that last night!!" Paimon seemed to realize something.

"Don't think too much...what's in that little head." The traveler stretched out two fingers and tapped Paimon's head.

Feeling the remaining warmth between his lips, the traveler smiled slightly:

"It's just an agreement."

……

"Finally made it up..." Paimon looked at the stone steps in the distance that were about to end with difficulty.

"I finally understand the feelings of those who come to worship at the shrine. How can you pray for blessings without the perseverance to climb the mountain?"

"Traveler, Paimon—long time no see!"

Genfuyu Ringo, wearing the costume of an Inazuma shrine maiden, walked over slowly with a smile.

"Ringo? Long time no see. How are you doing?" Paimon greeted him in a familiar manner.

"The work of a shrine maiden really suits me. It allows me to truly experience the meaning of life. Interpreting divinations and praying for all kinds of people is a kind of salvation for me. Thank you for giving me a chance to be reborn."

"It's not that exaggerated. The Traveler and I came here just for Mora and the rough stones." Paimon touched his head and said embarrassedly.

"That's perfect. Let's take this opportunity to ask Miss Ringo to draw a fortune for us. Let's see how our fortunes are today." The traveler took out 100 Mora and wanted to give it to Xuandong Ringo.

"Uh, uh - it's free to draw lots! I'll come right away..." Rejecting the traveler's kindness, Xuandong Ringo hurried back to his work station and took out a tube of fortune sticks from the shrine.

"How about we each draw one this time?" The Traveler suggested to Paimon beside him.

"Well, with my luck, it will definitely be a lucky day."

Taking out the bamboo tube, Xuan Dong Ling Qin shook the bamboo stick inside and then placed it on the platform.

Paimon and the Traveler glanced at each other.

"You first, Paimon."

"Okay. You said so, don't regret it if you draw a lucky number later."

Looking at those identical fortune sticks, Paimon fell into deep thought.

(Which one should I choose~Which one should I choose~Which one should I choose~)

The decision is yours!

Suddenly, Paimeng's eyes flashed, and he stared at one of them with a sharp gaze.

He reached out and pulled out the stick.

Then he handed it to Genfuyu Ringo.

"Let's wait until the travelers have finished drawing before we interpret the lot together."

"Step forward." Xuan Dong Ringo nodded.

"Traveler, it's your turn—"

"Okay... I... emm will choose this one." Drawing a stick, the traveler handed it to Xuandong Ringo.

“Then I will start to interpret the signs.”

Xuandong Ringo placed the fortune slip under the stage, fiddled with it for a few times, and then placed it back on the platform.

"The interpretation is complete, please take it." He handed the bamboo sticks to them one by one.

"let me see--"

"Oh, great! I won!" Holding the fortune stick with "good luck" written on it, Paimon danced and cheered.

"Let me see my... um, my luck is not very good, it's really bad."

The traveler looked at the contents:

【It's a day when I feel empty inside. I may fall into a deep sense of powerlessness.

Many bad things start from a small thing, and if you go too deep into it, you can easily get into great danger.

Although everything is not going well, there is no need to be sad or discouraged.

If he can withstand these hardships, he will be reborn one day.

Today's lucky item is: an old cup.

Although it is full of cracks, I can collect a cup of dew in the early morning to heal my heart.

If you encounter a difficult situation, drink a cup of morning dew and drink the morning sun. Light will dispel darkness. 】

"Who wrote these words?" the traveler asked curiously.

"These fortune sticks were written by many shrine maidens and put into the fortune stick box. I don't know what they contain. If you really want to ask, you can ask Lord Yae."

"Oh my! Finally you're talking about me."

Suddenly a beautiful pink figure appeared beside the traveler.

The purple eyes looked at the traveler brightly:

"You haven't even reported to your Lord Yae Shinko before you come here. You are really becoming more and more ignorant of the ways of the world~"
