Genshin Impact: I attack as Kevin

Kevin looked around to make sure there was no one around, then walked to the small pit where Jiuqi Shinobu was hiding.

"Shinobu, are you still there?"

"Of course, Kevin, you're so slow, give me the clothes and mask."

Shinobu Kuki reached out and took Kevin's pink and fox mask. The mask was fine, but the pink kimono made Shinobu Kuki a little suspicious. Would most men wear kimonos of this color?

But she didn't think Kevin was a loudmouth, so maybe it was just that Kevin had some peculiar hobbies.

"No, didn't your sister teach you etiquette? Why are you becoming more and more rude?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I have taught you, but etiquette is only for strangers."

"My sister said that friends should be open with each other. It's impossible to become close friends if you hide things from each other."

Kevin couldn't refute it, as he thought what he said was not wrong, but the problem was that they had only known each other for less than a day!

It's strange, why would an adult like him bother so much with a child? It seems that his body has become smaller and his thinking ability is not as good as before.

Kevin stuffed the clothes and mask into Jiuqi Shinobu's arms.

"Okay, I'll go check if there's anyone around, don't worry."

Just as he took a step away, his shoulder was grabbed by a familiar hand again. He turned around and saw Jiu Qi Shinobu rolling his eyes at him.

"Kevin, are you an idiot?"

Kevin wanted to curse back, but after thinking about how Kuki Shinobu had used the method of returning to the mountain, he decided to reason with Kuki Shinobu.

"Shinobu, we are already friends. If there is anything, we should just talk directly instead of swearing."

"Okay, then come in front of me and help me block it. I'll change my clothes now."

Kevin understood Jiuqi Shinobu's idea. This small pit was not very hidden. After all, it was not a cave.

If someone really comes over, you can see it if you pay a little attention.

Kevin's approach was not wrong. He had intended to look around and stop anyone who passed by.

But this is near Inazuma Castle, a favorite place for children to play, and Shinobu Kuki probably doesn't trust him to stop them.

Jiuqi Ren thought she was too cautious! But there was one thing he didn't understand, why did she trust him so much?

"No, are you really not afraid of me peeking?"

"Okay, but if you see my body you have to marry me. I feel a bit disadvantaged by marrying a fool like you, but considering how much you've done for me, I can tolerate this."

Kevin got a headache when he heard the word "marry". He finally understood why Kuki Shinobu was so fearless. Inazuma's Yaedou was really an evildoer. The child he saw now was as mature as the Hokage next door.

Kevin, as a staunch fan of mature women, would not actually go and watch. If he really wanted to see the body of a loli, he would have seen Xiao Palace tens of thousands of times. In fact, he has never seen it even once.

"Don't worry, since you trust me so much, I will never peek."

"That's best!"

Hisahi Shinobu sounded very calm, but her shaking hands as she changed clothes showed that she was very nervous. In Hisahi Shinobu's mind, boys are late bloomers, and they always do things that disgust her out of curiosity.

Kevin's current performance is considered acceptable in Kuki Shinobu's heart, but after all, they have known each other for too short a time. It would be a lie for Kuki Shinobu to say that she is not afraid. That's why she chose to let Kevin stand in front of her.

It was just a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils, a boy she didn't know at all, or Kevin, who she knew a little bit, she could only choose the latter.

Kevin did not disappoint her. Even after she changed her clothes, Kevin showed no sign of looking back.

From this moment on, Kevin was upgraded from a stranger in her mind to a friend worth making friends with.

"Okay Kevin, I'm done changing, you can come back now."

Kevin turned around and glanced at Jiuqi Shinobu casually.

"It looks like you have indeed changed it. What about your miko costume?"

"Find a safer place to hide. This place definitely won't work."

"That's right, then Shinobu, do you know where we can hide?"

"Huh? I've never been to a place other than the shrine or my home since I was born, Kevin?!"

"Well, to be honest, I've been to White Fox quite a few times, but I've never paid attention to a place like this."

"My sister should know. She especially likes to come here to find all kinds of strange things."

"No, we have agreed that only the two of us know about this."

"It's okay. My sister and I have a very good relationship. She won't tell anyone. The clothes you're wearing are hers."

"What! I was wondering why the kimono was pink, and you actually told others about me, Kevin, you treacherous bastard."

"No, calm down, I didn't tell anyone. I just borrowed the clothes and mask."

"Hmph, that's fine. Anyway, I'll leave the clothes to you to hide. I'm not familiar with the White Fox Wilds."

"Okay, I'll try to think about it."

Didn't Jiuqi Shinobu have a fever? When we first met, he was still weak in speech. Why did he become so energetic after just a few hours of sleep? Kevin wiped the cold sweat from his head.

Kevin feels that Inazuma is becoming more and more unfamiliar now. Whether it is Aoi or Kuki Shinobu, their characters are only half as similar as in the plot. He can't grasp it!

Kevin took out the Skyfire in his arms and complained in his heart: You bastard has caused me so much trouble, can you give me something in return! I really don't want to do this anymore, Brother Skyfire.

Skyfire seemed to have heard Kevin's thoughts. The red Herrscher core embedded in the safety pin emitted a dazzling light. The shrine maiden's costume in Jiuqi Shinobu's hand disappeared out of thin air, and a strange memory emerged in Kevin's mind.

[A white-haired young man frowned as he looked at a pile of strange objects in front of him. Kevin didn't recognize most of the things inside. The only one he recognized was a broken Homunculus doll.

"You want to bring a lot of things."

"No...I...am free...You...can do it"

"It seems that you have also experienced many things that ordinary people can hardly imagine. I understand, Lin."】

This large pile of items quickly entered the core of the Skyfire, and the memory ended here.

Jiuqi Shinobu hurried forward to check Kevin's hand and observe whether there was anything wrong with Kevin's hand. She asked with concern,

"Kevin, are you okay? What's that in your hand?"

It seems that the mystery of the origin of this mysterious skyfire is gradually beginning to be solved. Kevin carefully observed the skyfire in his hand, and could faintly see the red and white shrine maiden costume that was just in Kuki Shinobu's hand from the red Herrscher core.

The amount of information in that strange memory just now was so explosive that Kevin couldn’t figure out what had happened for the time being. The white-haired young man was also Kevin. Judging from his aura and clothes, he was probably the Kevin from the main world of the game.

Also, the Skyfire actually possesses the spatial power that should belong exclusively to the Herrscher of the Void. However, normally the Herrscher core of the Skyfire should be the Herrscher of Fire. This Skyfire does not seem to be the Skyfire from Honkai Impact 3.

At the same time, Kevin struggled to break free from Jiuqi Shinobu's hand, stuffed Tianhuo back into his arms, and said indifferently,

"You don't need to know Skyfire's information. The issue of the miko costume has been resolved. You can leave now."

Jiuqi Shinobu was stunned. She felt that Kevin seemed like a different person. She stared at Kevin's Skyfire. She decided to check the historical records carefully after returning. The Skyfire gave her a very uneasy feeling.

Kevin finally came back to his senses from his chaotic mood. He turned back to explain to Jiuqi Shinobu,

"Shinobu, I've already dealt with the miko costume. I'm not in a position to tell you the details, so let's go get our medicine quickly."

"It will be too dangerous for you to go back alone any later. Some things cannot be solved by wisdom alone."

Looking at Kevin who had returned to normal, Jiuqi Shinobu felt a chill in her heart. She suddenly wanted to escape from Kevin and go back to the boring and monotonous life of a shrine maiden.

But for some reason, she couldn't take that step no matter what. She suddenly said without thinking,

"Kevin, what do you think if I stop being a witch?"

Kevin paused, and he began to understand why Tianhuo asked him to help Jiuqi Shinobu in this incident.

I'm afraid that it was after this incident that Shinobu Kuki began to embark on the road to freedom.

If it wasn't me who saved her in the original world, who saved her? Could it be Yidou? Can Yidou say chicken soup?

No, there was no Tengu at that time. Ichito knew Tengu first and then Kuki Shinobu. It's really strange who solved it.

"Of course you can, Shinobu, you are a free bird. You should go to a wider place to learn. Narukami Taisha should not be your end."

Jiuqi Shinobu was stunned, and she suddenly understood why she was willing to follow Kevin so far.

Why she was unwilling to leave despite such a terrible situation was still a little unclear.

She bit her lips lightly, her face was moved.

"Kevin, you should know that our Jiuqi family is a long-standing family of miko maidens, and each generation is proud to serve Ming Shen."

"After my elder sister, Sachiko, entered the shrine, I was also sent to Narugami Taisha to train early on. For me, this is a family honor."

"Really? Are you happy working as a miko?"

"There are a lot of rules at Narujin Taisha: fasting for a few days to show your sincerity, bathing a few times to avoid blasphemy... Maybe it's not very happy."

"But Kevin, this is not a question of being happy or not. This is the fate of our Jiuqi family. It has always been like this..."

Jiuqi Shinobu suddenly got stuck, and she was confused: What's wrong with me? Why would I seek answers from a boy who is almost my age? For Kevin, isn't happiness the most important thing?

The reason why he called me a free bird was because kids of my age were running around everywhere and he couldn’t possibly understand me.

"Sorry, Kevin, I'm a little excited..."

"It has always been like this, so is it right?"

Kevin's words were like a thunderbolt that broke through the fog in Kuki Shinobu's heart, illuminating her heart, and tears flowed from the corners of Kuki Shinobu's eyes.

"You have to remember that no one can control your life. You have to walk your own path."

Kevin had a calm exterior but felt a little emotional inside, if he hadn't had foreknowledge of the plot of Kuki Shinobu's character.

He would never say that knowing that Kuki Shinobu had left the shrine long ago to become self-reliant.

If you really want to walk your own path, this is not the age for you to do so. Such a young child doesn’t know shit!

If someone says this to his child in the future, he will definitely slap the other person in the face.

"Kevin, will you still help me after I leave the shrine?!"

"Of course! I'll help you no matter what it is. We are friends, aren't we?"

Kevin answered firmly.

Kevin had never thought of changing someone who originally had a bright future, even if it would be more beneficial to him in the future.

Because that might not be good, and he hated the unknown.

But since Kuki Shinobu's past had been changed by Kevin, he would not be afraid to take the responsibility of being the original speaker.

Instead he will work hard to get Kuki Shinobu's future back on track.

Not only because he was once an adult, but also because he believes in a saying from Honkai Impact 3: fight for a better future!

Is he going to carry the burden of Shinobu Kuki's life? Kevin seemed to understand that maybe this was his destiny to become Kevin.

Jiuqi Shinobu was genuinely happy, she could hear the firmness in Kevin's words.

In that case, what does she have to fear? Sorry, sister, Shinobu has to take another path.

Even if the end of this road is not beautiful, she will never regret it, because her best friends are waiting for her along the way!

Suddenly, a shining divine eye appeared out of thin air in Jiuqi Shinobu's hand, and she, who had been feeling a little uncomfortable just now, suddenly recovered completely.

Shinobu Kuki, who has many years of work experience at Narukami Taisha Shrine, immediately recognized that this was the Eye of Narukami. She looked towards the castle tower of Inazuma Castle. Does Narukami also think that the path she is pursuing is correct?
