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

The beauty of the sacred forest that had not been set foot in for a long time remained the same for ten years. The red branches swayed, and thin thin cherry blossoms fell in Asase's hair. Gao Ling walked beside her, deliberately slowing down his pace, which was a little awkward.

"We used to come here a lot when we were young."

"We are bitter against each other, and you begged me to teach you archery."

"In the blink of an eye, these trees no longer seem so difficult to climb."

"Look, Asase, are these the arrow marks we left back then?"

Asase Hibiki occasionally responded with precious words, listening to him tell how the sad little Mitsuyo cheered up and inherited the teacher's beauty and martial arts, and listened to him tell him about the nightmare of being beheaded by the enemy that once frightened him.

Other people's things, things that have no fate.

Xu Xu's words seemed to be trying to cover up the sadness of adulthood.

How wonderful it would be if time could stay in innocent moments forever.

Asase Hibiki's mind wandered for a moment, and suddenly he heard him pretending to be relaxed and said that he had received a military order to return to the battlefield with the general.

"Even you...!" Asase Hibiki lost her voice and stopped suddenly.

Kunbumaru took two steps forward before turning back and smiling at her: "Look, you still care about me."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" She frowned and glanced at Sakura Branch aside, "I'm just... worried about your wife, yes, that's all. It's already ridiculous enough on weekdays, without even leaving a child. If On the battlefield, why don't we leave her alone at such a young age to guard an empty room..."

"Uh, Asase, um... I'm not married yet."

The words in his mouth suddenly lost his voice.

Asase Hibiki suspected that his ears were wrong. He opened his eyes wide and slowly moved his gaze to look at Konbumaru's face.

He raised his index finger to touch his nose, his face slightly pale, "How could anyone be willing to hand over their daughter to an uncle who is not doing his job properly, is slovenly and loves gambling?"

half an hour.

"It's because you are like this that you can't even marry a wife. What's there to be proud of?" Asase Hibiki's heartbeat was inexplicably fast.

"Thanks to this, I didn't get married!" Konbumaru raised his voice, lowered his head, and his eyes kept turning between the toes of his left toe and his right toe, "I heard that as long as you come out on top on the battlefield, , you can go to the general to ask for rewards in person, and you will have all kinds of treasures and beauties, so, so... even if you are a witch... you see, you and I are already old enough, so we can make do..."

He spoke incoherently, his voice weakened as he spoke, and he raised his eyes to look at her carefully.

The flower forest in front of me all faded in this moment.

No beautiful scenery can compete with the person in front of you.

Asase Hibiki's entire vision and hearing were glued to him by some strange attraction.

She opened her lips slightly and was speechless. She saw his Adam's apple rolling, then lowered her hands, straightened her body, and asked solemnly: "Asase, are you willing?"

How could anyone... propose like this?

Asase Hibiki's fingertips hidden in his sleeves fell into his palms: "Now that our family and country are in trouble, where is the time to talk about children's personal affairs..."

"Are you willing?" Kunbu Maru took a step forward and asked her just this one question.

Asase Hibiki couldn't face the solemn look on his face at this moment, and tried his best not to back away, but still couldn't help but look away.

"The cherry blossoms on your shoulders," Konbumaru said in a deep voice, "until I take it away, if you don't hide, I will assume that you are willing."

Cherry blossoms?

Asase Hibiki lowered his eyes and saw a small patch of red on his shoulder.

Konbumaru raised his hand.

His movements were slow, giving her enough time to hesitate.

She is a witch.

How could more than twenty years of hard training be wasted for this idiot in front of me?

She doesn't want to agree.

But Asase Hibiki's body couldn't move.

I couldn't move.

Even if it's a gust of wind, hurry up and blow this petal away...

"It's mine."

Konbumaru picked up the petals with his rough fingertips and let out a long sigh of relief.

Asase Hibiki was stunned.

why?

She is obviously a miko.

But she made a life-long private contract with someone...?

"It's obvious that someone is going to the battlefield. It's ridiculous to want to decide half of other people's lives with just one mouthful..." She searched her guts, looking for excuses to regret it.

"Then this time, I will make a bet with you, how about? Just... use this bow as a bet," Konbumaru held Sakura in his hand and untied the weapon wrapped in fine cloth behind him with his other hand.

The unparalleled long bow was revealed.

"This is the treasured bow, Feilei, given to me by the general and given to me by Lord Lingshanfang. I will use this best bow in the world as a bet that I can come back here alive."

"If I, Gaoling, lose, this bow will be yours, but if I win..."

The look in Konbumaru's eyes was as bright and hot as flames.

So cunning.

Even his own life was included in the bet.

How far is this idiot going to push her?

The sound of the walls of my heart collapsing was so harsh.

Asase Hibiki stared at him, as if he had accepted the medicine he offered in a daze as a child, feeling uneasy, and finally——

He reached out and grasped Fei Lei's cold bow.

"I want to come back, Konbumaru."

This is a story that is too far away and too long.

"So," Nanke asked, looking at the long bow that shimmered under Asase Hibiki's palm, "Mr. Gao Ling didn't come back in the end?"

"..." Asase Hibiki was silent for a moment, "It doesn't matter who the winner is. The black beast that staggers back from the abyss, no matter who it is, is the target that we must shoot."

Use your noble bows and arrows to destroy evil spirits and drive away delusion and meaningless attachment.

Save the lost with the bow and arrow of forgiveness, and fulfill the promise destined to be lost.

Since she is destined to be a miko.

This sacred duty must not be desecrated.

But isn't this too cruel for you?

Nanke didn't ask any questions, and slightly grabbed the hem of his clothes on his knees.

"Nanke," Asase Hibiki put down the flying thunder, caressing her cheek like a weak petal, and his words brought out a touch of gentleness unique to the elders, "What I want to tell you is that words will make people... It is common for people to push away what they say. There are so many living beings in the world, and it is extremely rare to meet each other. Let alone, there is no telling when we will be separated, and we will never see each other again in this life. It is obviously important. Is it really okay for people to let the ravines and thorns between them grow?"

Important person?

Nanke held his breath slightly.

"You are right," she looked into Asase Hibiki's eyes, feeling an inexplicable impulse in her heart. "Kunibeng is a very important person to me. Thank you for your enlightenment."

"Go." Asase Hibiki let her go.

Nanke took a breath and stood up.

The anxiety and resentment that filled my heart not long ago have been swept away.

Why should one's good intentions of disbanding soldiers be distorted by one's own emotions?

It's not fair to him.

She knew exactly what kind of person he was.

It is as beautiful and transparent as glassware.

It is again sharp and fragile after being broken and bonded countless times.

Every fragment of light reflects pain.

However, he still gathered his strength and responded to her wish.

"Ah, by the way," Nanke pushed the door open a crack, and suddenly heard Asase's voice again, and said with a smile, "I couldn't finish what I told you last time - when I found you underground, Guo Bengzheng kisses you."
