The Kingdom of Qing is very lively today. Fireworks have been going on in the country since almost the night before.

After waiting until the early morning, it finally became quiet for a while. Lin was about to go to bed when she heard knocking on the door.

She felt a little strange. She shouldn't have offended anyone here, right?

The place where Lin is now is the main island of the capital of Qing Kingdom. The people living here can be said to be her colleagues.

Although Lin joined relatively late, everyone usually gets along well with each other. Who would come and bang on the door in the middle of the night?

"Hey, you with amnesia, don't go to bed so early. Help me prepare some gifts." The person outside the door shouted.

When Lin heard the voice, she guessed who it was - Sanwei Isobu.

Sure enough, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a gray turtle covered with thorns and with three tails blocking the door.

It’s not impossible to prepare gifts, after all, Lin is now his Jinchūriki, but Lin is very confused. Is today a holiday?

She let Isobu in, hoping to get an answer from him: "What gifts do you want? Um... Is it an important festival? I see it's very lively outside."

"Just prepare anything, a wreath, a bracelet, or candies will do, as well as a note with blessings." Ji Fu saw that others did the same.

He squeezed into Lin's room without any hesitation, then climbed onto the chair and waited patiently.

Isobu explained to Lin: "I heard that it is a tradition of Qing Kingdom. Every year on this day, everyone has to rest and send blessings to each other."

On the night before, people hid the gifts with blessings, and the next day the whole country rested to look for unknown gifts.

"The bees said it was a day of worship."

Isobu never thought that one day he would be so popular.

He was sleeping soundly in the pool under the main island, but several people came to him specifically to ask for clues about gifts.

Could he say that he was not prepared at all? Of course not, so he appeared here with Lin now.

Isofusa didn't think that he was bothering Rin. He had changed from a free tailed beast to a summoned beast, so no matter how you looked at it, she should be responsible for his future life as a beast.

Lin suddenly realized that it was no wonder that during the day, she saw her colleagues writing notes furtively and asking her which area she planned to be in.

That's what they meant.

"Then I'll prepare some too. How about a small shell pendant?"

"it should be OK."

The man and the tailed beast made gifts harmoniously.

In the early morning, as soon as the sun fell on the dew on the grass leaves, the country of Qing became noisy.

In the streets, alleys, mountains, forests and flower fields, there are people searching.

Lin thought it was a relaxing holiday, so she looked for gifts, and smiled knowingly after receiving the blessings.

〖I wish you prosperity!〗

The water ball in the box exploded, and the red sweet juice splashed all over Lin.

"..."

After being pranked with a gag gift for the third time, she started to take it seriously.

It turns out that it is not just a blessing day, but a legal prop competition for troublemaking?

Not only is it unexpected to find the blind box, it’s also exciting to open it. No one knows whether they will open a surprise or a shock.

Before she knew it, Lin had spent the entire day outside.

As night fell, the surroundings were still bustling, but Lin's hands were full. She returned to her residence with a bunch of surprises and shocks.

Fireworks started to be set off outside again, and Lin lay at the window and watched quietly.

Looking down from the floating main island, the mottled lights look like the Milky Way on the ground.

"That's great, I wish I could see it all the time."

Lin has no memory now, but today's experience was very novel, and it should be the first time.

She was just about to take a shower and lie down to rest comfortably when she caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye.

At the very edge of the main island, there is a circle of guardrails, and a little further in, there are some benches scattered around.

It's hard to hide gifts near the edge, so it's especially quiet here today.

Qinghe sat on the bench with her legs crossed. She leaned her head back against the chair and stared at the moon in the sky in a daze.

There were soft footsteps behind her, and then Lin sat down next to her.

"Master Qinghe, it's so lively today." Lin started the conversation first.

She tugged at her red-spattered clothes and said with a hint of regret, "I wasn't prepared and got fooled several times."

Qinghe smiled, she sat up straight and looked at Lin: "Did you have fun, Lin?"

"Very happy." Lin also smiled: "Next year, I have to make full preparations."

"Come on, maybe they will have new tricks next year." Qinghe withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the sky in a daze.

The noisy fireworks did not bring her any liveliness, but made her look even quieter.

Lin's fingers fiddled with the shell pendant in her hand. She hesitated for a long time and asked tentatively: "Master Qinghe, are you unhappy?"

Lin felt that she looked so empty, completely opposite to her usual behavior, as if she was isolated from the world.

"It's okay." Qinghe was just thinking about some problems.

"Yeah... it's okay..." Lin moved closer to Qinghe: "Then, can I listen to it? About your troubles."

Qinghe tilted his head slightly and looked at Lin. Oh, it turned out that he came to care about her.

Qinghe was indeed not unhappy, she was just thinking: "I wonder, is the person who starts over still the same person as before?"

The same soul, the same experience, the same personality, and even the same memories... does that mean that he is still the same person?

Or is it just a person who is infinitely similar?

People who start over will have different experiences. A new life will create new memories and will also make their personalities different.

Can we still determine based on the soul whether he is still the same person?

Is the essence of a person the soul? Is it memory? Or is it personality, values ​​and experiences?

Qinghe reached out and stroked the side of Lin's face: "Do you think you are still the same Lin?"

Or is he just another person with Lin's personality, values ​​and appearance?

"Hiss...what a philosophical distress." Lin's expression became conflicted.

"I may not be the same Lin as before, but I have grown up with more experiences and insights."

Lin held down Qinghe's hand that was against her cheek and answered seriously, "But I think I am still Lin."

"I think so, and you think so too, so I'm still the same person."

"..." Qinghe looked up at the sky again and sighed softly: "...It's really hard to understand."

It’s so complicated and hard to analyze.

A beautiful little blue and white shell appeared in front of Qinghe.

Lin handed the shell pendant in her hand to Qinghe: "Master Qinghe didn't participate in today's activities, did he? Please accept this as a small gift."

Qinghe took it and looked at the pendant.

The small shell is engraved with the symbol of Qing Kingdom, a closed eye on the front and a pentagon with an inverted triangle inside on the back.

Oh, and there must be blessings. Lin thought for a moment and said the most common blessing in Qing Kingdom: "May you be watched by the gods."

May you be watched by God, may you become God’s favorite, may you be safe and happy, and have no worries in the future.

"Thank you~" Qinghe's smile became more sincere. She put the pendant into her pocket, stood up and stretched.

She leaned close to Lin's face and looked into Lin's eyes: "Lin, do you know what day it is today?"

"The day to worship the gods?" Lin had just heard Ji Fu talk about it today.

"It's my birthday."

Little Bee turned the story of Kurama and Yamaubakiri leaving birthday gifts for Haruwa into a legacy.

"Huh?" Lin was stunned.

Haruka took her hand and pulled her up from the bench, "Come on, let's go to Konoha."

Then just treat it as the same person for now.
