Chapter 107: Natural Phenomena Without Mothers
"There's a nostalgic smell in the air, and the touch of the body is real... It's been a long time since I've had this feeling. Shadow fingers caressed the railing on the side of the stairs, looking at the cherry blossoms flying in the sky, and his tone was very emotional.
"So, those desserts just given to you, you can't taste the real thing, right?" An Ping asked with some curiosity.
"There are slight differences, but they mainly come from the texture, and there will be no errors in the taste, otherwise I wouldn't have sent you to the Pure Land of One Heart."
"There's a difference in taste... Then you will have to taste the puffs again later, after all, the texture of the puffs is also a very important part of the taste. Anping still can't forget the appearance of eating puffs.
"This one does." Ying was very much in favor of An Ping's proposal.
"But when was this dessert invented? Before I entered the Pure Land of One Heart, Inazuma should not have such a sweet heart. ”
"Not even now, because this is a dessert that has only come out of Mondstadt in recent years, and even Liyue, which borders Mondstadt, has not been eaten by very many people, let alone Inazuma who has been in isolation for the past two years?" An Ping said with a smile.
The shadow fell silent.
"Well, don't you think change is necessarily a bad thing? Moving forward may indeed bring losses, but it also brings us many unknown surprises. The life of a human being is as short as a firework compared to that of a god or a demon god, and it seems that it is about to end before there is time to do anything. What can give human beings infinite possibilities may be this ephemeral scene, and it is precisely because of the shortness that human beings desperately want to make their lives as brilliant as possible, shining in the night sky only to leave their own momentary brilliance. ”
"Perhaps a person's light is weak, but human beings have never been a strong race because of the individual. Everyone blooms their own brilliance, and the spark inheritance from generation to generation gathers to light up the night sky and illuminate the darkness, which is also a kind of eternity, isn't it? Anping seized the opportunity and began to enlighten the shadow.
Shadow didn't speak, just nodded thoughtfully. It's too much, and Anping no longer talks too much about the big truth.
"Since you're here to change your mood, is there any place you want to go now?"
"I haven't been out in a long time... You can lead the way. Shadow shook her head.
"Alright then, let's go to Hanamizaka first. But there's a lot of people there... Film: Do you have any pressure? An Ping was a little worried that Ying hadn't come out of the Pure Land for too long, and would there be any psychological pressure if he saw too many people at once.
"It's okay, then let's go to Hanamizaka first." Kage, who led the shogunate army in the early battle of Inazuma, was not a stage frightening character.
In the final analysis, the image of the Raiden General in "Please My Fox Immortal Palace Division" is too much into Anping's brain.
"That's good. Don't worry, no matter how many people there are, I will protect you. Anping smiled confidently at the shadow.
"It's okay, although you are my bodyguard now, if you encounter danger, you don't need to block the knife. The general's structure is quite sturdy, and it can be replaced if it breaks, so if there is danger, just push the general's body to the front. Shadow said something very reasonable, but it seemed extremely unreliable.
Isn't this the same as encountering danger, and the bodyguard uses the employer to block the gun in front because the employer is wearing body armor?
If these words were heard by the general, would there really be nothing in his heart?
"No need, no need... I'm just kidding, how can you encounter any danger in Inazuma..."But Anhei thought about it, the general's body can still be replaced... Isn't that possible to change to a variety of other different styles... Let's say Lori... Girlish... Furry or something?
According to the needs of the core parts, you can also customize the famous device or something, is it not a problem... But did Shadow really give the General this feature?
Anping's brain was instantly stuffed with yellow waste.
"You seem to be thinking about me with some kind of rudeness." Shadow, who has god-level insight, noticed that An Ping's glance at him was very impolite.
"No, no... I'm just wondering how strong the general's body really is ... How much strength does it take to pierce through..."An Ping, who was seen through by the shadow, tightened his heart, and immediately put aside the thought of rudeness in his mind.
"If it were you, there would be nothing wrong with piercing this body, but why do I always think you mean something else?" Shadow frowned.
"No, no... Completely non-existent... Anyway, let's go faster, I'm so uncomfortable to be watched. An Ping excused himself in a panic, and then diverted the topic.
Now walking side by side with Kage, he endured the incredible attention of the shogunate soldiers who saw the shogun come to greet him.
Ying stared at An Ping for a while, and saw that there was nothing unusual about him, so he didn't ask for the time being. In this way, after the two of them left the castle tower, they came to the statue of a thousand hands and a hundred eyes.
The idols are still the same, but there are only a dozen or so Visions left on them. About half of the dozen or so Visions were left on them because the original owner had passed away and no one had come to claim them for the time being.
And the other half... Of course, because it's fake. Shadow's eyes lingered for a long time on the visions of the gods, which had been dimmed by the loss of their dreams.
"Do you feel a little guilty? It's okay, the gods will do wrong things, but as long as you apologize, I'm sure your people will forgive you..."
"No, the general can't be wrong, and he can't be wrong." Keying's attitude is extraordinarily serious.
"This..."Anping could understand what Ying meant, but it was not so easy to accept.
"But as a shadow, I still want to express my apologies." Shadow stretched out his hand to the Thousand Hands Hundred Eyes Statue, and those ownerless visions flew towards Shadow's palm as if they had been summoned.
An Ping was a little curious about how Ying would use to express his apology. Then he saw the gray eyes that swirled around Shadow's palm bloom again in the blink of an eye, though only for a moment.
"I hear your wishes." Shadow, who had witnessed the re-blooming of the Vision, closed his eyes and said silently.
Several Visions were then captured.
"What wishes do you hear?" An Ping asked curiously.
"It's not something you need to care about." Shadow's tone was extremely indifferent, and Anping was bored with himself, so he could only glance to the side.
"Well..."
"Anyway, most of them don't have a chance to do it anymore... Maybe in the future, people who have the same wish will be able to light up these visions again... Just like you just said about the inheritance—" Shadow's tone softened suddenly.
"I see?" Anping thought of the Divine Vision of his friend that Kazuha was holding, and it was no wonder that he had never found someone who could light that Vision.
Was it the same desire?
"Don't talk about this, who made those fake visions above?"
"This... I don't know..."Anping actually knows. Although the eye hunting order has now ended, if the general wants to settle accounts with the autumn queen one day, wouldn't this be a problem for Ayaka and Yoimiya.
"You're lying?" Shadow stared into Anping's eyes.
"No, no! I really don't know! An Ping's eyes immediately widened and he shook his head to reassure. But at this moment when An Ping would rather be questioned by the shadow than betray his teammates, a lively voice came.
"Little Klee, you know what? Originally, the Shogun, she confiscated the Vision of the Gods, and in order to protect the people of Inazuma Castle, the Vision of the Gods did not have to be handed over to the Shogun, but I asked Master Masakatsu to do a lot of forged Visions to hand them in... So Klee, you have to be obedient, you know? In Inazuma, I was disobedient but I was going to be built by the general... Brick to... Yoimiya, who took Klee out to play, was telling Klee the story of her rebellion against the Eye Hunting Order, but when she looked up, she saw the Shogun and Anhei standing in front of them.
"Your Excellency... I don't want to be built into a statue...", I found that the Shogun was looking at her with a frown, and Yoimiya's voice looked like she was about to cry.
An Ping slapped the door on the head.
"Brother Anping!" Klee lunged towards Anping and threw herself into his arms.
"Is Yoimiya Sister disobedient? That's why it was built into the statue of the god by the general? ”
"That's right... So Klee has to be obedient to know? Anping rubbed Klee's head. Ever since Klee and Yoimiya set off fireworks together, their relationship has become extraordinarily good.
Although the head of the koto group was a little worried about whether the two of them would get together and give Inazuma Castle to the order, but seeing that Yoimiya was very popular with the children, he should know that the severity of the matter would not let Klee play too much, so he did not interfere too much in the development of Yoimiya and Klee's friendship.
So if Klee can't find Anhei's brother to take her to play recently, she usually goes to Yoimiya. The two seem to have teamed up to invent underwater fireworks.
"Didn't I think I was already this image in the mouth of the Inazuma residents?" Shadow muttered softly.
Rather than forging the Vision, Shadow is more concerned about being used to scare children.
"What's your name?" Kage asked Yoimiya.
"My name is Yoimiya... It's the owner of the Naganohara fireworks shop... Shogun... I didn't mean to speak ill of you..."Yoimiya looked at the shadow pitifully.
"Naganohara Fireworks Shop... Oh, I remember, it turned out to be a fireworks... The one who creates the illusion of indulging in the illusion of summer, heh... Where are you going now? Shadow chuckled, unable to see her anger.
"I'm here with Mondstadt, this Klee kid is walking around Inazuma Castle... I'm going to go to the castle tower and show Klee how spectacular your place is, Shogun, after all, Mondstadt is a godless country..."Yoimiya explained, and Kage turned to look at Anhei.
"Did you bring this child?"
"No, Lord General, it's Klee who followed her sisters to find Brother Anping!" Klee preemptively explained.
"That's right, they were originally here to visit Inazuma... I heard that I received your invitation. Anping felt that Wendy had put himself on so much, and it shouldn't be too much for him to put him together.
"My invitation?" Shadow frowned.
"yes... A bard named Wendy took it out with your autograph..."
"Impossible!" Shadow categorically denied it.
"Then I don't know, could it be that this bard made a picture of your signature? Why don't you send someone to arrest him and interrogate him properly, forging an invitation letter is still a trivial matter, and if you forge an official document one day, it will be a big trouble..."An Ping directly fanned the flames.
"I see, I'll pay attention to this." Shadow nodded solemnly.
"Okay, Yoimiya, you don't have to worry about the shogun putting you in the idol, so let's continue to play with Klee." Anhei patted Klee on the back and put her down to look for Yoimiya.
"Really, Shogun!?" Yoimiya's eyes were suddenly full of surprise. Shadow nodded silently.
She is not still angry with her children for this little thing.
"But in the future, it is forbidden to spread the word that children who are disobedient will be built into the statue of the god by me, otherwise they will definitely not be spared." However, it was still difficult for Ying to accept the fact that the people were used to scare the children.
"Yes!" Yoimiya immediately stood up and saluted.
"Alright, you can go ahead and visit, this is my token, and you can enter and leave the castle tower freely with it." Ying could see that Klee and Anping had a good relationship, and thought of what Klee had just said
"Built into the idol by the Shogun", in order to avoid making any bad impression on the child or even reaching Mondstadt, he simply took out a token and handed it to Klee.
"Thank you, Sister General! Sister General is a good person! Klee didn't understand the preciousness of the token, but she thanked her politely.
"What a lovely child." Looking at the back of the two red girls leaving with big hands holding small hands, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of Shadow's mouth.
"Uh-huh... I hope you keep that idea up in the future..."Anping noticed that Klee's backpack was bulging.
"What's wrong?" Shadow looked at Anping suspiciously.
"Nothing... Anyway, I'm in a better mood..."It's not necessarily that Klee will blow up the castle tower, so Anhei didn't rush to get vaccinated, and continued to walk towards Hanamizaka with Ei.
However, while still on the way, thunder flashed in the sky, and a heavy rain fell without warning.
"This thunderstorm is just born, and the momentum is really a bit big..."An Ping hurriedly pulled the shadow and hid under the eaves.
"What is this, do you want to see a more powerful thunder? See that tree over there? ”
"No, no, no... Don't don't, don't..."An Ping hurriedly stopped Ei.
"But I really didn't expect that there would be a thunderstorm when you wanted to go out today, aren't you its mother?" An Ping looked at the thunderstorm that roared filial piety and was irritable.
"Mother? Where did the thunderstorm come from, what mother... Natural phenomena are not under my control, and of course, you can stop if you want to, but if it is not a disaster, the gods will not interfere with the celestial phenomena, and the land of Narukami Island will also need a rain to water. ”
"I see..."In this way, Anhei and Ying waited under the eaves until the rain stopped.
