Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

Nasita was taken aback upon hearing this, and then she remembered what she had said to the traveler.

—It seems...we'll meet outside the city, right?

Nasita, now in a meditative state, closed her eyes and found the traveler's trail in the void.

Judging from the direction the traveler is heading, it should be the Zen Garden of Mount Sumeru.

Nasita, having found the traveler's trail, opened her eyes, but this time she saw no trace of Mu Xian.

Mu Xian left quickly and quietly, and the little girl's eyes held a hint of disappointment.

But these emotions did not affect Nasita.

She knew that the more lost she felt, the more she needed to cheer up.

Nasida has experienced that feeling of hugging her knees and cowering in a corner many times.

That feeling was really, really unpleasant.

Despite thinking this way, the melancholy little grass god still glanced in the direction outside the city.

There were no familiar figures there, but instead, people dressed in clothing that did not belong to Sumeru appeared in that direction.

Behind that group of people was a large box placed on the car.

Nasita recognized them; they were diplomatic envoys from Inazuma.

It looks like they're about to leave Sumeru.

As for what diplomacy is...

The World Tree says that people from two different countries can become friends...

—So... staying in Sumeru and doing nothing was just making friends, right?

Nasita didn't know, but she remembered that the leader of the mission was said to be a member of the retinue of the god Inazuma.

With the intention of learning from Inazuma Raijin, Nashita once observed the Yae no Miko through the void, but...

Thinking of this, Nasita saw a pink-haired girl dressed as a shrine maiden gracefully appear not far away.

The pink-haired girl seemed to notice Nasita's gaze and gave her a sweet smile.

The smile was different from the girl's smile in Mu Xian's previous memory.

No matter how well it was concealed, Nasita could sense something inside.

Nasita often saw this on scholars who were engrossed in their research and were subsequently caught by the disciplinary officials.

That's called madness, the madness of doing anything for something.

This is not an illusion.

After all... the eyes above a smile can also speak.

Of course, the divine child also saw Catherine in front of him.

She could sense that something was off about the Catherine in front of her.

Especially those eyes, they reminded me of when I first met my attendant, or rather, my young master...

Chapter 160 The Clean Little Teacher

"Several hundred years later, the little girl who always loved to perch on other people's shoulders has grown up."

—Growing up..., huh?

—Why that relieved expression...?

—It's clearly not a good thing.

"My lord, everyone here is very clean."

"The cleanest things are nothing more than the babies who have just been born into this world."

"Liking children... is the purest form of liking."

"However... the children probably dislike you, Attendant."

"It's alright, I'm different from them..." I'll make sure the attendant is clean.

Only Yae no Miko knew that she was the first to meet the attendant.

She was even earlier than the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family.

Just like the girl at the fireworks shop...

At that time, the attendant was still a samurai, while Yae no Miko had already become the priest of Narukami Shrine.

Of course, he was a worried court official.

Many, many people died in Inazuma at that time. The little fox saw many people he knew grow old and die in front of him.

In the very end, only Yae remained at Narukami Shrine.

The person least suited to be the priest became the priest of Narukami Taisha.

The goddess still remembers the chaos and confusion of that time, and how she secretly cried while hiding in the prayer box.

Every morning, Shinko would look in the mirror and then flatten her round eyes.

It's because flat eyes make people feel scared when they stare at them.

The responsibilities of the priest made the goddess become rigid and cold, completely unlike the innocent and naive little fox she once was.

After all... there aren't many people I can rely on anymore.

The divine child also did not want those he depended on to disappear because of his dependence.

But... I'm really tired.

Who would have thought that the elegant and aloof chief priest of Narukami Shrine and the little auspicious grass king were not that different in age?

At that time, Yae no Kami would have been worried.

I'm worried about why things turned out this way.

I'm worried about how to revitalize the shrine...

I'm worried about when all this will end...

If she could, Yae no Miko would only want to be a lowly shrine maiden.

This way you don't have to worry about anything else; all you need to do is sweep the floor and interpret the fortune sticks.

Sometimes you can even take a walk on the beach.

A person's willfulness cannot be suppressed; if it is suppressed for too long, it will always leak out a little bit.

The first time Yae no Miko disregarded her status as a priestess and secretly slipped away to the beach to relax was during the summer festival.

Because fireworks can be seen on the night of the summer festival.

At that time, the goddess was at least dressed in a plain shrine maiden outfit.

After all, as the "priest" of Narukami Taisha, he has a lot of things to do during the summer festival.

If no other priestess were to exchange clothes or identities with the shrine maiden, the shrine maiden would be completely unable to leave.

The goddess was a little uneasy as she secretly went out to relax for the first time, disregarding her status as a palace priest.

She was grateful to the "Kano" shrine maiden, but also feared the damage to the shrine's reputation if the matter were exposed.

Anxiety caused the goddess to miss the fireworks.

She looked up at the gradually quieting sky and felt that this escape wasn't so wonderful after all.

Thinking that she would not do such a risky thing again, the goddess quickly looked away.

But the sudden explosion in the sky made the goddess raise her head again.

It was a rather ugly firework, so plain and lacking the dazzling brilliance of the fireworks at summer festivals.

Such insignificant things shouldn't have drawn too much attention from the divine child.

But the goddess still walked towards the direction of the fireworks explosion.

She realized that the exploding fireworks were very close to her, on the beach not far away.

Barefoot, she walked toward the spot where the fireworks had exploded.

The fireworks were set off by a little girl and a disheveled-looking man named Nobushi.

The two had the same golden hair, which led the priest at the time to believe that they were siblings.

It wasn't until they said goodbye to each other that the divine child realized he must have guessed wrong.

The little girl waved goodbye to the Nobushi-shu as she ran, but the Divine Child inexplicably approached the Nobushi-shu.

The divine child did not look at Nobushi's face.

Instead, his attention was drawn to the Eye of God hanging from his waist.

It was an extremely dazzling azure eye of God, so dazzling that it resembled a firework that could never be dimmed.

"Miss Shrine Maiden?"

The divine child's trance attracted the attention of the Nobushi-shu.

But instead of drawing his sword, he expressed polite doubt.

Doubt made the divine child look up at this wild...

No, it should be this boy.

Clean eyes and dazzling blond hair...

At this moment, the stars seemed to coexist with the sun...

Where are these wild, lurking creatures?

The divine child wanted to say something.

But she had no idea what to say or what attitude to adopt.

"Palace Master," is he still the same person he used to be?
