To the eternal you

After the figures of the two left, Zhong Li folded his hands on his chest, looked sideways at Xiang Qi, and said, "Sorry, I was the one who made a mistake."

"No...it has nothing to do with Mr. Zhongli. I'm really sorry for making you such a villain because of me."

Qi replied softly, looking at the way the traveler left.

"How much of Qi's memory has been retrieved?"

There are complex emotions in Gan Yu's eyes.

"Not completely... A lot of it is the memory of Liyue and mother, the memory of Dao's wife... probably also with the other me, but she still seems to be very ignorant."

She looked towards the distant sea, the island of everlasting cherry blossoms that she could sense in the dark.

"So, what do you think?"

After waiting for a while, the girl's hesitant voice sounded.

"...I shouldn't have gone there."

"But, do you want to miss Lord Thunder God...?"

Gan Yu's eyes showed concern and said in a low voice.

"Even if I miss it, I shouldn't go there... That will only bring unnecessary disputes, and my contract has not been completed yet."

Qi looked at Mr. Zhongli with burning eyes.

"I have never understood why I was able to be reborn in such a posture, but the only thing that is certain is that my existence consumes your divine power and the prayers of Liyue people all the time, so I shouldn't Abandoning everyone and chasing the past that has been over for so many years."

"The contract signed between us is only for you to participate in the big event of Liyue Port, and to witness where Liyue will eventually go, and then tell me the answer you got."

Zhongli, no.At this moment, he should be called Morax, he changed his usual casual attitude, and said very solemnly.

"I don't want you to bind yourself because of the burden of the contract, in fact - you have done enough for Liyue."

"And that answer, you actually told me at that time, that the eternity that exists in the concept of matter will end sooner or later."

"But before that, by virtue of my own efforts, the people of Inazuma can live a happy and stable life, and all of this will be recorded in the conceptual network of the earth veins, and the dead will be drawn by the gods to reach the realm of consciousness." eternal."

No matter how the world changes, or even the earth veins burn down, for Inazuma who has already stepped into eternity, the only thing left to do is to work hard and live her life steadily.

In other words, Qi succeeded. Although she fulfilled Lei Movie's wish in another way, it is undeniable that this is her realization.

This also made him think of himself, apart from that rainy morning, the more crucial reason for him to make such a decision, on the night when the girl passed away, he felt the long-lost anger, even now he can still clearly understand recall.

And I also sincerely understand that no matter how Qi's life stage changes, the choices she will make will never change.

As a god, she fulfilled her duty of guiding and protecting human beings. On the day she left, Daozu land had spiritual power again, awakened the lost blood of the fox, ended the chain of sorrow, and scattered countless rays of light to continue He guides those who are in trouble.

She has done well enough and fulfilled her mother's original wish.

I was just relying on my nostalgia for that beauty and my undeserved pity to pull her back who should have a good rest without authorization.

"Gan Yu, could you please go to the Wangshu Inn first, we will catch up soon."

Morax said apologetically.

"...Okay, okay, Dijun."

Gan Yu didn't understand the reason for the apology, but it didn't prevent her from agreeing to the other party's request. After saluting slightly, she turned around with some hesitation, but quickly disappeared.

After he left, one big and one small fell into silence until Morax spoke again.

"Qi, you should know about my bet with the Ice Queen, right?"

"Well, I know." When mentioning the God of Ice, the girl's expression didn't change much, she just responded gently.

"Do you think this is too reckless?"

"The contract is fair, and she has paid a commensurate bargaining chip. Since you have agreed, I will never influence your opinion with my own opinion."

"...I thought you would be very angry and blame me for signing a contract with her, even at the price of God's heart."

"No, even if you lose the heart of God, you are still the strongest Valkyrie, and I... I am nothing more than a patchwork of remnant souls and past memories. The important matter of the country's survival, I just fell into a deep sleep again."

Qi turned around, beckoned lightly with his slender hand, motioned Morax to squat down, and in his slightly surprised expression, stood on tiptoe and hugged him.

"Thank you, Senior Morax, you have been doing really well, so you don't have to worry about my affairs. I am very grateful for the opportunity you have given me."

"..."

Sometimes, he thinks that the existence named Qi is too pathetic and too fragile.

The nostalgia for life should be the common ground of all living beings, but she has no complaints about waking it up without authorization, and causing it to face a potentially endless sleep again.

"If there is only one complaint, it is probably that these days are so beautiful that I have the idea of ​​​​hoping that time will be suspended."

The girl had a relaxed smile, as if she had no worries.

"By the way, about sister Ying, can you keep it a secret for me?"

Qi let go of his hand, took a step back, and looked at him charmingly.

"Well, I will only tell her part of the truth, and the rest... leave it to your mother."

Morax said softly.

"It will be fine this way. I'm really looking forward to it. The other me... What kind of story will happen to her and the traveler?"

Qi gently lifted the hair hanging from his ears and temples, feeling the breeze blowing, looking at the lake as if thinking of him.

But it was only for such a short moment, and soon she turned her head and smiled peacefully.

"Let's go, Mr. Zhongli, it's time for us to find Sister Ganyu~ It's not good to delay her nap time."

"Well, let's go."

Morax's eyes lost their charm, and became restrained and ordinary again, moving forward with her.

"Having said that, you should be able to feel...Gan Yu's friendship with you seems to be far beyond the limit."

"That's right, it's all because of Mr. Zhongli and Master Liuyun taking advantage of Feng Zhenjun to mess around!"

Speaking of the girl looking at him angrily, it caused him to smile helplessly.

"Sorry, I just found out too..."

"Oh... I'm also responsible. In short, in the last period, try my best to make up for sister Gan Yu—"

A large and a small figure strolled on Dihuazhou and headed for Wangshu Inn.
