Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

Rice wife, social practice.

Huaiyue left so suddenly that Ayaka Kamisato didn't know about it.

She just suddenly realized that she had not seen Huaiyue for three days in a row. She always felt that something was wrong and asked her brother, only to get a reply from Ayato Kamisato: "Huaiyue has returned to Liyue."

Kamisato Ayaka suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"So sudden?!" It was more astonishment than surprise. For the moment, she only thought of the contract that she didn't know much about but had heard about.

"...The contract is over?"

Kamisato Ayato heard this unclear murmur.

"That's not true." His eyebrows suddenly softened, "It's because Huaiyue received a letter. It probably contained some bad news. In short...she said something happened to an important person and she had to go back. .”

In a few words, Kamisato Ayaka knew that she had misunderstood.

She breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought the contract had expired, and I hadn't even had time to say goodbye to Huaiyue... After all, I don't know if we can see each other again."

Speaking of this, she inevitably thought of something, "Speaking of which, we have been with Huaiyue for so long, and I have already regarded Huaiyue as a relative. But I have never heard Huaiyue mention an important person... …Brother, aren’t you curious?”

Kamisato Ayato paused.

Kamisato Ayaka continued to ask: "Brother has been with Huaiyue longer than me. Have you ever heard of these...?"

Have you spent... longer with Huaiyue?

Kamisato Ayato's thoughts couldn't help but think of the first two years.

Except for the winter when Huaiyue fell into a deep sleep, they did spend more time together during her waking hours.

Because he still had a lot to learn in the first two years, and he wanted to stabilize the family as soon as possible, so he moved eagerly, always thinking of asking her for more advice, for fear that he would be a step too late.

When I came back to my senses, three years had passed.

Kamisato Ayato was sixteen years old when he met Huaiyue. In the first three years, he had no time to care about anything else. It was not until the fourth year, or even now the fifth year, that he finally realized something.

He couldn't say whether it was because of his reluctance in his heart, but he did rarely see Huaiyue again in the next two years.

Ayaka was right, even though it was out of contract... it was different after all.

He had to admit that Huaiyue and their siblings did have a very close relationship.

but……

Why do you subconsciously want to resist such a relationship?

This resistance came out of the blue when I thought of Huaiyue, and when I thought of myself a few years ago, it was like a seed that gained nutrients, quietly taking root and breaking ground in my heart.

A strange feeling ensued.

Shouldn't.

Huaiyue was a contractor who protected the Kamisato family when they were at a low ebb. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she is the patron saint of the Kamisato family.

Being close to her is a harmless thing until the contract is terminated.

...should not be.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" The soft voice of his sister floated in his ears, and Ayato suddenly came back to his senses.

"No, it's nothing." He was used to hiding his emotions, and the slight confusion on his face was almost invisible, "I just remembered something from a few years ago."

"A few years ago?" Speaking of this, Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but recall, "Speaking of a few years ago, when I first met Huaiyue, I really didn't realize that she actually lived under the tree in our yard. The Immortal in the Chun Tree... At that time, I just felt that her temperament was not that of a mortal, she must be some extraordinary person."

"Later I really got to know Huaiyue, and I felt that he was worthy of being an immortal, which made me a little timid even getting close to him." At this point, Kamisato Ayaka laughed sheepishly.

But after getting to know him for a long time, she realized that Huaiyue was actually a fairy who easily softened his heart.

Although he seems cold and ruthless, he will agree to many of her requests that now seem a bit excessive.

And since I am aware of this, my brother must be aware of it too.

Kamisato Ayato chuckled.

"...Indeed," he said.

In the first three years, although he shouldn't have thought this way, occasionally he felt that being close to him was considered an offense to the immortals. But because he had many things to ask, he could only try to use the etiquette learned in his family from elementary school to Huaiyue, even if When you speak, you must consider your words in your heart.

And in the last two years after finally getting some breathing room, because of the inexplicable but unignorable resistance in his heart to meet her, Ayato Kamisato occasionally pondered, and soon found some reasons.

He has grown up.

Therefore, we also need some people around us to treat ourselves differently.

Just like Toma's attitude towards him has changed from a pure closeness to a bit more respectful now, just like Ayaka's address to him has changed from "brother" to a more dignified "brother", Kamisato Ayato thought, he Probably because she didn't want to see Huaiyue as usual.

But if we want to talk about the reasons, if we want to talk about the reasons...

Kamisato Ayaka suddenly said: "But brother, you are different."

Kamisato Ayato suddenly looked at her.

"...Ayaka?"

The girl said seriously: "Toma and I both regard Huaiyue as a relative, but brother... is it because he has to shoulder the important responsibilities of the Kamisato family?"

He is more skillful and likes to use all available resources. He often says that as long as the result is correct, the means will only be secondary.

But I don’t know if it was because of the contract between the Kamisato family and Huaiyue. Kamisato Ayaka had a keen mind, and she had a vague feeling about Kamisato Ayato’s attitude towards the contract two years ago.

——That’s not to say I like it too much.

"When the contract ends, Huaiyue will leave." Kamisato Ayaka said, "...When I think of her leaving, I can't help but feel sad. Can you understand, brother?"

Because of this, Kamisato Ayaka cherishes the time she spends with Huaiyue more and more, because she knows that they will be separated one day, but Kamisato Ayato is just the opposite. He hasn't seen Huaiyue for a long time.

Even the rare time together would be left immediately by him on the grounds of "official business".

but why?

At first, Kamisato Ayaka thought she felt wrong, but as time went by, this feeling became more and more obvious.

Such questions lingered in her heart, and it was only now that she finally asked them.

Now that Huaiyue has left Dao's wife.

Before my brother's case.

In the long-lasting fragrance of toon flowers in the air.

Kamisato Ayato paused imperceptibly.

After a moment, he asked helplessly: "Linghua...how did you find out?"

Kamisato Ayaka covered her lips: "Brother, you can take a guess."

Kamisato Ayato was silent for a long time before saying, "Is it because... of the New Year's gift a year ago?"

That was the first time Kamisato Ayato rejected Huaiyue's gift.

At that time, Huaiyue was rarely able to go out despite being sleepy in the winter. After getting to know the Yaeguji-sama, she also bought some gifts with Inazuma's characteristics on his recommendation and brought them back to Kamisato as a New Year's gift. Two brothers and sisters, even Thomas has a share.

Kamisato Ayahua was very happy, and Kamisato Ayato looked at the gifts in his hands for a while, then asked: [Huaiyue, why did you think of giving these to us? 】

In previous years, most of the gifts she gave were small things made with fairy magic, but this special gift from Inazuma was particularly different.

Huaiyue said: [I met a miko. Maybe you also know her. Her name is Yae Shenzi. 】

She glanced at the royal guard in Ayato's hand and said: [Ye said these gifts are suitable for the younger generations in the family, so I bought them. 】

Then Kamisato Ayato said: [Really? I have turned twenty this year, so this royal guard... I will give it to Ayaka. 】

Huaiyue didn't say anything at that time. Kamisato Ayaka was stunned for a moment, but finally accepted it.

Thinking about it now after a year...

Kamisato Ayaka shook her head: "Brother's strangeness is earlier than the New Year's gift a year ago."

It's just that the New Year's gift thing is easier for people to notice.

The gift given by the elder to the younger one was given to him by him. It sounded like he started to refuse gifts just because he became an adult. But thinking about it carefully, she would not find it strange who the person who made this move was, but it was his brother.

My brother would never refuse a gift for this reason.

——Little popular science——

Neon becomes an adult at the age of twenty, but the law was changed last year and the age of majority was adjusted to eighteen. But I still use twenty years old here.
