To the eternal you

A ray of light shone into the silent main hall today.

As if dispelling the desolation of no one, and bringing the vitality of a girl, she walked forward with her head down, holding the wooden box in her hand, and clasped the edge of the box tightly with her slender fingers.

She wasn't ready to face her mother, and she didn't know if she would satisfy her.

"You came."

Shadow's calm and indifferent voice sounded, it seemed to be on the left side, and it seemed to be on the right side, the empty room disturbed the girl's judgment because of the sound transmission.

"According to the order of the Great Imperial Palace, I have brought the documents of Nayan Pavilion, where should I put them?"

She restrained the sadness in her heart, told herself that what she should do was to draw a line like a subject, buried her head lower, lowered her eyes, and looked at the ground one foot below her feet.

"Just put it in a conspicuous place in the main hall."

Ying walked out from behind the screen, cold and lonely.

Unlike Qi, who had a fulfilling life, Kage stayed here as always, studying the secrets of dolls.

The limited life will be eroded by time, and eventually it will become different, and the wear and tear will take away everything she thinks is beautiful, including herself, but she is just a cherry blossom that blooms in a long time.

It may be hundreds of years later, or it may be thousands of years later, one day.

The prestige of General Thunder and Lightning is no longer known, and Daozuma will also lose the protection of the gods, so he has to abandon his body and make a [General] that can be repaired at any time even if it is worn out.

She looked at the girl, but she couldn't see the expression clearly on her lowered face, and her slightly distant and reserved attitude was like a child who had done something wrong.

Just like before, I was too greedy and aggressive to make my sister angry. Should it be said that it is a doll made by her own hands?

Ying also observed the child in his own way.

The more I observe, the more I am moved. Even the inspiration for the newly born General Thunder and Lightning came from her.

As the girl grew up, she seemed to see herself and her sister in the past.

After getting acquainted with the loyal Sasauri, she defeated him openly and squarely in the most proud way of the other party.

Accepted the brave Miyu Chiyo, witnessed the opponent's dance under the moonlight enough to attract the attention of the demon god, and also witnessed her laughing wildly on the battlefield, taking off the enemy's head with wild and graceful movements.

I was fortunate enough to become friends with Lord Foxzhai Palace, play with them, play kotatsu in my spare time, occasionally recite poetry in competitions, and compose a haiku for the occasion.

Qi now seems to have perfectly reproduced her past, and met Mitsuyo, the daughter of the head of the Tengu clan.

The other party will definitely become Qi's most trusted general, and also a good teacher and helpful friend who will always urge her to grow.

Chiyo's most beloved son, Yuyu Michiki.

No, it should be called Iwazo Doki now. Whether he admits it or not, he still has the blood of demons in his body, and he can see the unique qualities of Chiyo in the past from his eyes.

He will become a brave and unparalleled person who is better than his mother and makes him proud. The current polished kung fu may only be available in a dozen or so years.

To truly conquer Iwazo, Qi needs to work harder and beat him in the final contest.

Finally, Yae Kamiko, who for some reason has a strange affection for Qi, was obviously a stupid fox who could be fooled by fried tofu in the past, but now she is also scheming. Although she is gratified, it also makes her elusive The other party's inner thoughts.

In any case, the girl undoubtedly came into contact with beautiful people and things, and at the same time established a deep bond with this land of rice wives.

She is a well-deserved prayer, and it is also like a small wish she made to the stars outside the sky.

So even if it's for Qi, for herself, and for them who don't want to forget, Ying must take advantage of the good time together to bring this short rest of peaceful time into the eternal land.

In this way, the advanced prediction is not meaningless, nor is it arrogating the natural law.

Shadow secretly clenched his fists, and then looked at the little girl who seemed even more aggrieved because she didn't speak or respond to her.

She tried to comfort herself like her sister, although her cold expression was hard to soften, her tone softened somewhat.

"Come here, let me see you."

Hearing the sound, the girl raised her head in astonishment, and then quickly lowered her head. It is a great sin to look directly at the gods. While reciting the words of apology, she stepped forward with trembling shoulders. Her curled arms looked like a rain-drenched kitten.

"No need to be like this. Although you and I are the creator and the creator, we are more intimate. There are pregnant women in the world who conceive in ten months and give birth to babies. It takes more than ten months to shape your physical body. The materials consumed during this period are countless, and the effort is like a river. put in."

Ying stretched out his hand to gently caress the top of the girl's soft hair, and flicked Qi's stubborn hair up and down with the hand with the sleeve, and a certain smell that seemed to be mixed with the fragrance of ink and flowers gradually spread.

What she wants to express is that she treats girls as her own, no different from mothers and daughters in the world.

With Ying's touch, Qi's shoulders stopped trembling, and the hands that clenched the corners of her clothes gradually loosened. She closed her eyes and felt the short-term tenderness.

Then quickly opened it again, lightly pressed her hand, raised his face, and looked at her dignifiedly.

Ying can see his own face in those clear eyes, worn out by time, exhausted and exhausted, in the eyes of this child, he should be very incompetent.

"...Qi, I want to ask you something."

"It's okay, let's talk."

Although she doesn't know what the child is thinking, Ying hopes to bring her some warmth as much as possible, at least like her sister.

Every time she fights with the enemy, fights, or even steps into a chaotic battlefield, desperately fighting for the living soil for the creatures behind her, at night she will pamper herself with her lap as a pillow, humming an unknown song .

Accompanied by her sister's singing, she can get a good night's sleep, no dreams and no troubles, only the intimacy and peace of the most intimate and important people by her side.

"Yae... Yae Miko-sama, once told me that Shin-sama is mother's older sister."

When Qi said this, he looked at her cautiously.

Ying didn't respond to the girl's address, but just rubbed her head lightly.

"That's right, that's true. But with your relationship with me, it's okay to call her aunt. Did she tell you anything else?"

"She told me the truth... Auntie is a gentle demon god, and she seems to represent a lot of good things to the land of Daozuma."

Correction of the girl's awkwardness is called the true name.

"...Really, she thinks so." Ying said with a little nostalgia, and then quickly recovered, looked at the girl again and said: "Rather than saying that she represents many beautiful things, it is better to say that today's Inazuma must be the country that she and I, Sasauri, Mikoshiyo, and Kosaigong-sama achieved through the efforts of many people."

"Of course, what she said is also true. Many beautiful things are actually born of the thought of Zhenyi. For example, they used skill to create meteor blooms. They were originally entrusted by Zhen, and finally they worked hard to create what they are today What you saw... ah, you probably haven't seen it yet."

Ying showed a bit of embarrassment when he mentioned this, but the sensible girl quickly took the initiative to ask: "Is it the kind of pyrotechnic tube that uses gunpowder to send fireworks bombs into the sky to bloom?"

"Huh? Have you seen it before? It's strange...I don't remember that there were any fireworks recently. If there were, you should be able to see the fireworks display on Ganjin Island here."

The girl quietly moved closer, and said softly: "If there is a chance, can Mom go to the festival with me next time?"

The warm breath was like scratching a dandelion in his heart, and the roots of Ying's ears were dyed a little red.

"...Well, there will be a chance."

Her slightly flustered expression was cute, and it also brought the distance between the two of them closer.

"Then, this is the only thing I want to know!" Qi's voice was full of vitality, and then he quickly opened the wooden box, took out various commissions from it, and began to tell what he had seen and heard.

When hearing about the difficulties of the people, Ying frowns and thinks, and then promulgates appropriate policies one after another. These are the governance methods learned from Liyue, but her knowledge has almost been exhausted in order to pretend to be in front of Qi. .

She also has concerns about some difficult problems, and doesn't know what to do, but the girl always brings up solutions from an appropriate angle.

Probably just discussing like this, a smile gradually appeared on the faces of the two of them.

Shadow hoped that this kind of time could stop forever, but the girl returned the entrusted documents to the wooden box with unsatisfactory intentions.

Chatting from noon to night, during the period, Okuji seemed to have put a meal outside, but the two seemed to have forgotten it tacitly.

After satisfying Qi's strong desire to work, Ying took her hand and walked from the main hall to the inner courtyard.

Singing grass and a few Yuntian grasses moved from Qinglai Island are picked and planted here. This kind of crops can only grow in areas where thunder elements are dense but regular.

You can still hear a slight electric current when it is attached to the ear, and it looks much better than Mingcao in terms of appearance.

Ying quite likes this kind of plant, and while walking, she introduces the origin of these crops and what happened when she first planted them.

Because Mingcao likes the environment with heavy thunder elements, she summoned thunder and lightning, and struck down a thunder every hour. Before the Mingcao flowers bloomed, the roots and leaves were first squeezed by the overflowing thunder elements.

At that time, she once wondered whether she was not suitable for picking plants.

Qi listened all the way, the mother who hadn't had a good chat with her for a long time was rarely interested, so naturally she couldn't disappoint.

After coming to the dome pavilion where the girl once lived.

They looked in the direction of Ganjin Island, and Qi asked in a low voice, "Why does Mom want to embark on the eternal road? Or... Has Mom ever doubted herself?"

Not from anyone's mouth, but from the person himself.

Facing the evening wind, Ying gently raised the ends of her temple hair, revealing a slightly sad and soft face, and her purple eyes looked at Dao wife who was gradually turning on the lights.

"An important friend told me before he left, let me not be deceived, not shaken, and go straight on the path I firmly believe in."

"I think she's right that we paid too much for Dao Wife along the way."

She stretched out her hand in a daze, as if she wanted to hold back something.

"If even I give up, will there be a day?"

"Everything is worn down and never the past, and no one ever remembers how important a group of lovely people made for Dao's wife."

Qi looked at her quietly, feeling that her mother was very fragile at the moment.

"I'm afraid of that future, and even afraid of what will happen if Daozuma loses her god, so I must seize eternity."

"Pray, will you help me?"

Acknowledging means approving Ying's wish.

She agreed without hesitation.

To your creator, mother, or important person you admire, make a great wish to help him fulfill even if his body is broken.
