Genshin Impact: Hello! Traveler

"You are... Mei?!"

The old swordsman was surprised to see that familiar face looking at him with the expression of a former enemy.

[Play with him...]

[Yes, Master. ]

She didn't say anything, but held the wooden sword horizontally. With a flash of afterimage, she immediately slashed towards the old swordsman.

There was no sluggishness like in the previous duel, but rather the sharpness and murderous intent that belonged only to a swordsman.

"Zheng——"

The wooden knife was not at all inferior to the sword in the old swordsman's hand. The friction sound between the iron and the wood was so noisy in the empty autumn field under the moon.

"Oh - my little life is over..."

Feeling the force and the fact that Mei's eyes were not fake, the old swordsman said this, but his expression did not show any playfulness.

He launched a chop, but the latter blocked it with his sword, and the two of them once again distanced themselves from each other.

"Tick-tock-"

The rabbit tied around his waist slowly let out its hot red color and fell onto the cold autumn ground.

"Let me see how much strength I can force you to use with my abilities!"

I don't ask why, I don't ask what the intention is. Those who give me death, regardless of whether they are human or god, I return it with my sword, this is courtesy.

The old swordsman pulled the recently dead rabbit out from his waist, and the wound that had not yet completely healed was pulled, and dark red blood quickly gushed out.

He sucked on the bloody wound, drank the hot blood heartily, then poked the rabbit with the sword, and then swung it, and the cold blade was stained with the enchanting turbid blood.

Although it is not as invigorating as strong liquor, it is also a ritual.

On the other side, Mei quietly waited for the old swordsman's next move.

The old swordsman's bloodstained face was like a ghost seeking his life. He stared at the motionless Mei in front of him with extremely fanatical eyes.

Since human blood cannot be used, let me see if this sword can be stained with the blood of God...

It aroused the bloodthirsty arrogance of his youth, and how dare a mortal attempt to hurt a god.

but……

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

Is not it?

……

Dust Song Pot.

"I'm still so tired..." The traveler stretched helplessly.

After sleeping like this, the pain and fatigue cannot be eliminated when waking up.

It was like I felt a vague gaze.

The traveler turned around and found that Linghua had woken up and was looking at him with an extremely complicated expression.

"You're awake?" The traveler said with some surprise, then put away the diary, stood up and sat down beside Linghua's bed.

"Hmm..." Faced with the traveler's active concern, Linghua was at a loss as to what to say.

"What's wrong? Does it still hurt?" Seeing Linghua's pale face and recalling the worse-than-death experience of being injected with the painful water, the traveler was very worried about Linghua's current condition.

"Sorry... for making you worry." Although she really wanted to explain her physical condition directly to the traveler, seeing that he seemed to have been guarding her for a long time and the fatigue that could not be hidden in his eyes, Linghua softened her heart.

"I'll prepare some porridge for you to warm you up and replenish your nutrition." Looking at Linghua's somewhat thin body, the traveler stood up and walked towards the door.

"travel……"

"boom--"

She stretched out her hand, but before she could finish her words, the latter closed the door.

"..." The girl looked very struggling, which eventually turned into a sigh. She placed her hands on the quilt and looked down blankly.

It's obviously the most important thing, so why is it stuck in my throat and I'm hesitating and not saying a word?

If I keep it secret any longer, it will become a betrayal.

the other side.

After going down the stairs, I saw a short blue-white-haired loli jumping around, holding a thin wooden plate in her hand. On the wooden plate, there was a bowl of steaming hot, fragrant and tempting Qingxin yellow eel and lotus porridge, which was placed steadily without any spillage.

"You are... A Yuan?" A Yuan, who seldom showed her human form in front of him, surprised the traveler. After all, A Yuan's thoughts were the same as that woman's. Her original form was the most authentic and comfortable appearance. Deliberately transforming into a mortal form made her lack the unique transcendental aura of immortals.

"It's the mortal you brought with you. Most mortals will be emotional when they see immortals. Besides, she is a patient. If I give her things in my original form and scare her, her blood may rush to her and her condition will worsen." A Yuan walked up to the traveler and explained slowly.

"Oh, by the way... why did you come out? You are a patient and you need to rest well, you know?"

As if she had thought of something, A Yuan spoke to the traveler in a tone similar to Yaoyao's.

"Let me take it to her. Thank you for your hard work, A Yuan." Instead of answering directly, the traveler took the wooden tray she gave him with a smile, and looked at the two bowls of medicinal dishes on the plate: Qingxin, Liulidai... These are all nourishing to the body.

"Eh... is that Paimon?"

A Yuan seemed to sense the inexplicable gaze and took a step to the left. Following the direction of the traveler, he caught a glimpse of a small white figure flashing behind the beam on the second floor.

Hearing this, the traveler also turned around and looked up.

"Bang——" Only a loud sound of a door closing was heard.

"This guy is probably still angry with you." Seeing this, A Yuan also explained to the traveler about Paimon's condition these days.

Hearing her answer, the traveler couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and then said with some self-blame:

"I have neglected her these past few days. I will go talk to her now. Then, can you please deliver the porridge to my room, Yuan?"

"By the way, the girl in my room is Kamisato Ayaka."

……

After closing the door but not locking it, Paimon still felt a little bit of anticipation.

But she didn't know how to face the traveler, so she simply flew to the bed, facing the headboard and the wall, and acted as a wall-facer.

Let him start the conversation...

……

Click, the door slowly opened.

Seeing Paimon facing the wall with his back to him, all alone, made him feel inexplicably guilty.

He walked slowly towards Paimon step by step.

"Paimon, it's me..."

“…” She didn’t say anything, but when she heard the long-lost voice, she felt confused for some reason.

"Are you still mad at me?"

"..." Her heart was stirred when she heard that, but she remained silent. However, her body seemed to be trembling constantly as if she was enduring something.

"I'm sorry, can you forgive me?"

Listening to the voice, Paimon knew that the boy he was thinking about was only one meter away from him.

And listening to his apology, the emotions that had been accumulating in my heart burst out in an instant.

Bloody, unconscious...hiding your dark side from yourself. (In the original novel, the travelers always let Paimon avoid some bloody missions.) But why did you put your dying moment in front of me?

Do you really think I know nothing?

"I can forgive you——"

Turning around, her delicate little face was covered with tear marks.

"Can I forgive you just by saying sorry?!"

After saying that, Paimon immediately threw the soft pillow, which was bigger than himself but had no lethal power, at the traveler.

Without any suspense, the pillow was thrown at the traveler's face and then bounced off with incredible ease.

He calmly endured Paimon's anger.

Suddenly, a small piece of starry sky appeared before his eyes out of thin air.

At that position, Paimon instantly dodged and pounced on the traveler's face, and his soft and petite fists kept hitting the traveler's face.

"Why do you want to come back...why do you want to come back...if you have the guts, just don't see me for the rest of your life!!!"

Even though he was being bombarded with punches, Paimeng still didn't dare to use any force.

Because for some reason, I can feel that today's travelers are very tired and exhausted.

But if that's the case...

Who should I vent to?

You are all I have left! Bastard!!!

The tears of my best friend fell on my face at this moment, feeling extremely warm.

The emotions involved were so intense that he couldn't bear it. Paimon had been with him for nearly three years, and they had been inseparable for a long time...

After venting all her anger, she was left with only sadness as she landed powerlessly, her little face close at hand already wet with tears.

"Sorry..." At this point, there was nothing left to say, so the Traveler just reached out and held Paimon in his arms.

The body was soft and weightless, like holding a baby.

"..."

Paimon said nothing about the long-awaited warm embrace, but just held the boy's collar tightly.

"Next time, no matter (sniffle) life or death, you can't abandon me (sob)" With tears not yet dried, Paimon held the Traveler in his petite hands.

"Of course, of course..."

"Hmph..." Looking at the traveler's face, Paimon kept rubbing his cheeks with his hands. You did this to me before, and now I will do the same to you.

“Hehe——” Finally the tears stopped, and Paimon’s sad face turned into a smile.

"Hahaha——" Because he wanted to laugh but Paimon held his cheeks with his hands, the traveler's laughter sounded a little funny.

"Pfft - you still dare to laugh..." Seeing everything returning to the way it was before, Paimon's originally gloomy heart became bright. As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face.

Long time no see, traveler.

Our journey can begin again.
