Genshin Impact: Please don’t bully me, fellow stragglers

The skirmishers were also there, seemingly listening to Bai Mugui's complaints one-sidedly. They held their faces with one hand and were full of impatience. They didn't relax their eyebrows until Bai Mugui stopped.

However, he turned his head and saw Nan Ke, who was twisting it again. His eyes dropped and settled on the texture of the wooden table in front of him.

Even if it happened again, he would never let her get close to the battlefield.

but.

Obviously this made Nanke angry again.

In the quarrel and cold war, this time the skirmishers chose the latter.

The direct consequence was that he couldn't think of where else he could go.

After thinking about it all, he came to Baimugui, but he still bumped into Nanke.

What he did was absolutely right.

This time I will never bow my head first.

The skirmishers lowered their eyes and listened as Nanke's footsteps gradually approached, and then, without any pause, they passed by him again.

The skirmisher pursed his lips into a straight line and raised his eyes coldly, only to see the backs of Nanke and Asase Hibiki.

The hundred-eyed ghost who was chattering to him just now also turned his attention to the two people who had just entered.

The air in the entire room condensed into two words that densely filled the field of vision - "Superfluous", hitting him all over the face.

Hibiki Asase came to tell Hyakumeki about agreeing to participate in the war.

"Actually, I just received a letter of challenge from the shogunate..." Baimugui stopped talking, picked up a creased letter from the table and handed it to Asase Hibiki.

The general idea is that the Seira rebels will be defeated, Asase Hibiki will definitely die, and he will not accept surrender.

He also said that when the war started, Ah Wang's body would be hoisted on the mast in front of the two armies.

Ah Wang will be fine.

This is the result of Hibiki Asase's divination.

"Senseless killing..."

But despite this, Asase Hibiki couldn't help but wrinkle the paper.

Nanke listened and naturally noticed that the skirmishers got up and left without saying a word.

Nanke didn't follow.

Firstly, Asase Hibiki didn't want to be alone with the Hundred-Eyed Ghost anymore, so he called her. Secondly, Nanke still couldn't cross that hurdle.

If the skirmishers had let her down, maybe she would have been hurt.

But Asase Hibiki will not be injured.

They will not lose Ah Wang again.

She had obviously promised several times that she would not die easily again.

After talking about participating in the war, Hyakomeki invited them to have dinner together, but Asase Hibiki refused.

The sky darkened early under the thunderclouds. When they boarded the deck, oil lamps were already lit on the ship. Asase Hibiki raised his head and looked at the clouds, which were lower than usual, with a worried look on his face: "I'm afraid the evil spirit is coming."

"With internal worries and external troubles, Qinglai Island's chances of winning are too low." Nanke said.

"Yes." Asase Hibiki narrowed his eyes slightly, "But if everyone in the world knew that they were weak and did not engage in useless struggles, there would be no war in the world."

"Miss Xiang, you know that your defeat is certain, yet..."

"I have my own judgment on my matter," Asase Hibiki retracted his gaze and looked at Nan Ke, his eyes were warm, "Whether the pirates wait until the shogunate's food and grass are exhausted first, or the shogunate first waits for the disaster on Qinglai Island Come, Nanke, you and I are destined to be together here, and it’s time to go our separate ways.”

"...Yes." Nanke's voice was difficult.

It's not that I haven't thought about joining the war with Asase Hibiki.

But... no.

This is real war.

She can't die here yet.

"Farewell, Nanke." Asase Hibiki stepped back slightly and bowed solemnly to Nanke, "I hope you will have a long road ahead, be safe and sound, and hold hands with the important people... to the end of the world."

Nanke bowed his head and returned her greeting: "You too, Miss Xiang."

The dusk wind brushed against the tall masts, and among the hollow whistling sounds, Asase Hibiki seemed to laugh, and after a while, he let out a low sigh.

At dawn the next day, Nanke and the skirmishers were sent back to Yueshi Village.

The reason why I didn't go back to the shrine was because the war was about to happen. If there was a loss in the rear, with them here, at least Koshiishi Village would be safe.

Nowadays, there are no traces of men in the village. There are only old, weak, women and children coming and going. Anyone who can go to the battlefield has been incorporated into the Hundred-Eyed Ghost.

I haven't been back for a while, and a thin layer of dust has accumulated on the table. It took me most of the day to clean it up again. Nanke went to the statue behind Yueshi Village again.

The word "ying" she carved remains intact on the base of the statue.

The statue above is dim and broken, like a bare stone that has been exposed to wind and rain all year round, and there is not much divine power left in it.

Sure enough, two days later, a large number of feathers of the Soul God fell from the sky again.

The sky and the earth were dyed purple, thunderstorms were raging, and a protective shield of soft light enveloped the entire Koshiishi Village against this scene. It was the barrier that Asase Hibiki arranged last time that worked.

Nanke felt relieved and went back indoors. The skirmisher who hadn't spoken to her for several days appeared in the living room, sipping from a tea cup without looking away.

"The country collapsed." Nanke walked towards him.

The skirmisher had no expression on his face, so she sat down next to him and quietly held the corner of his sleeve.

-

The sound of gunfire coming from the front was deafening, adding an even more terrifying atmosphere to Qinglai Island, which was already at the end of the world.

Awang was put on a small boat by several soldiers and was said to be sent to the front line to be beheaded in front of Asase Hibiki in protest.

A Wang felt more disappointed and angry than fear of death.

Why do you have to force Master to go to this point?

Why can't we have a good conversation?

Why must we fight?

If it weren't for this war...

"Leave it to me." A deep voice made the soldier holding the rope on her hand stop.

Ah Wang looked up and saw Dao Qi, who was fully armed and imposing under the dim sky.

Hate burst into her eyes almost immediately.

Dao Qi sent the soldiers away to other boats and dragged A Wang onto the boat alone.

The ship floated with the ocean current, getting farther and farther away from the warship behind it. Dao Qi stood on the bow of the ship and used the compass to focus on detecting the direction. A Wang took the opportunity to lower his head and bite the knot in his hand.

The corner of his mouth was scratched, and bright red blood fell on the hemp rope, but the knot did not move at all.

"Don't waste your efforts," Dao Qi confirmed the direction and looked back at the stubborn little girl, "This is a special military knot that ordinary people can't untie."

Awang glared at him, biting the rope with his teeth and refusing to let go.

Dao Qi gave a short sigh and had no choice but to pull hard on the other end of the rope in his hand and pull A Wang in front of him.

"Follow this current to the north, passing by the east of Narukami Island, and there is a mysterious sea area shrouded in mirages." Dao Qi pulled a brocade bag from his waist and stuffed it into Awang's sleeve. At the same time, A package was also thrown on the boat. "The package contains food and water. Little girl, Nanke doesn't want to follow, so I can only let you go in and give it a try."

"What's inside?" Ah Wang suddenly had a bad premonition.

"The monsters guarding the tomb, and..." Dao Qi's eyes were slightly blank and he didn't say any more, "I wish you good luck."

After he finished speaking, he grabbed the hem of Awang's red skirt with one hand, tore it hard from the knees, grabbed half of the torn fabric and jumped into the sea.

Under the dark sea water, a sword ghost floated up, held up Dao Qi, and rushed towards the battlefield between the shogunate and Qinglai Island.

"Wait a minute! Stop!" Awang screamed hoarsely. He fell in the rocking boat and suffered large bloody scratches on his calf. "Let me go back! I want to go back -!"

Dao Qi did not look back, but looked at the blazing battlefield ahead, his face darkened, and murderous intent suddenly arose.

"The Chang Dao is magnificent, and the Ming Shen is eternal!"

Another small team shouted the flag and left in a boat to fight.

General Kujo was standing in the safest ship among the many ships, observing the battle ahead. When he saw Dao Qi and Sword Demon appear together, he looked at the mast of the war ship behind, and saw a wisp of red hanging high in the wind.

"Your Excellency Daoyin, did you do it yourself?"

"Yes." Dao Qi's face was expressionless.

General Kujo observed his expression for a few seconds before returning his gaze to the battlefield: "Very good. Did you see Zaemon and the miko standing on the bow of the rebel ship?"

Dao Qi followed and looked.

Those are the two most feared people among the Qinglai pirates. One is wearing a bunt and the other is wearing a miko uniform. Like them, they are still standing at the back of the battle formation and have not yet taken action.

"Kill those two people." General Kujo said coldly.
