Genshin Impact, I, a mere mortal, cannot accompany you to the very end.

"Thank you for your concern—since I remembered some things, my life has been pretty pathetic and ridiculous, but now I suddenly feel that it wasn't so bad after all."

...

"Traveler, have a pleasant journey and safe travels."

...

The story of the wind has come to an end.

You've been weaving the wreath the whole time, there are still so many places in the Teyvat Guide you haven't visited, you clearly said you'd be strong for hundreds more years, and you haven't even eaten the grilled fish yet, why, why, why...

You broke your promise.

You said not to worry about where the wind went, but how can we forget the wind?

You wished me a pleasant trip and a smooth journey, but without wind, can a trip still be considered a "smooth journey"?

Answer me...

Answer me.

Tears streamed down her cheeks like wind sweeping across a lake. When Ying looked up again, her face was already covered in tears.

"Who killed him?"

"Under the bright spring sunshine, Ying asked softly."

"Who killed Kiyono Fuuin?"

Strictly speaking, this chapter isn't a three-in-one; it's still 500 words short of three chapters. But Si Gu just couldn't keep going. Besides, I feel this chapter is already quite complete.

I originally intended to evolve into a Three-Watch Beast today... but now, I guess I'd say I've only evolved halfway.

Then there's the issue of the reader group... Many readers have sent me private messages asking about it, so I'll give a unified response now.

I won't be building it for now, mainly because I'm not in a good state right now. Just typing is exhausting enough, and managing the group is a bit too much for me.

Volume 1: Chapter 67 This time, I won't disturb your life.

"Wow, it's a big sister, it's a big sister."

Klee tilted her head, stood on tiptoe, and tried to raise her little hand to attract Ying's attention. Her orange eyes were wide open. She swayed around Ying from side to side, puzzled, and said:

"Where is my older brother?"

Klee couldn't understand, and tilted her head again. "Let's go bombing...fishing together! It's a promise, we're all good friends!"

At this point, Klee proudly put her hands on her hips, raised her little head, and clucked triumphantly like a victorious little hen:

"One part sulfur, two parts saltpeter, three parts coal—Klee has learned all the secrets Big Brother taught me! Klee is a good girl; Klee didn't use the Bouncing Bomb to blast fish anymore. Klee kept her promise... Where's Big Brother?"

Where's the older brother...?

A slight pain, accompanied by a slight numbness, like the scab of a wound being torn off; the intense pain has passed, leaving only a faint lingering ache.

Ying gazed at Keli's cheerful eyes. In the splendid spring light, those amber eyes seemed to glow, like a lake reflecting the setting sun. Children are always happy, full of curiosity about everything, and deeply believe everything that adults tell them.

'Big brother is so kind. From now on, we're best friends.'

'This is a promise between friends!'

'Then we'll play together from now on!'

That bastard, Kiyono Fuyumi.

asshole.

"Big brother."

Ying calmed her voice, squatted down slightly, and smiled, "That old zongzi has gone on a trip and can't play with Keli for the time being."

"Eh..." The little hen's comb drooped, and Klee's mood visibly sombered. Her delicate white fingers unconsciously twisted together, and she muttered aggrievedly, "Eh..."

“But friends should say goodbye when they part ways,” she said naively. “He didn’t tell Claire!”

“Yes, he’s really awful.” Ying nodded and whispered in agreement, “Friends should say goodbye before parting ways. He’s such a jerk.”

"When will big brother come back?"

Klee tilted her head and asked, tilting her head to the side.

When will you come back...?

When will you be back?

Ying smiled again, her smile was very light, and although her lips were smiling, it gave people a thin impression. "Maybe he will come back in a few months, maybe in a few years, but as long as Keli is here, he will definitely come back."

"can."

The warm sunlight poured down, making the world crystal clear. Little Klee lowered her head and murmured to herself:

"That's what my mother said too."

She carried a small schoolbag on her back and clutched the hem of her clothes with both little hands. "Adults always like to say things like that."

Adults like to say things like that.

That's what my mother said too.

Pain remains, but the root of the pain is not sorrow. If it were just sorrow buried in your heart, that would be fine. The root of the pain is that you are clearly very sad, but you have to pretend that everything is fine and comfort others.

It's like a scab forming on a wound. Even though the wound is slowly healing, the scab is torn open again and again, exposing the flesh underneath, just to show others that 'I'm not hurt'.

Miss.

【Miss】

Wendy's words still echoed in Ying's ears.

Kiyono Fuukin was killed by the 'Lady', an executive officer of the Fools.

Angry...?

Perhaps not really angry.

It was just a quiet hatred.

Ying subconsciously stroked the sword she was wearing at her waist, her slender fingers touching the hilt and producing a crisp whistling sound.

“Kiyono Kazeka will definitely come back.” Ying ruffled Klee’s head, messing up her chestnut hair. “That guy will definitely come back, because it was a promise.”

"...Then," Klee paused, "where are you going, big sister?"

"I'll go find him and bring him back."

Longji Snow Mountain.

'You're going to the highest snow-capped mountain.'

It is a must-visit place in the Mondstadt chapter of the Teyvat Travel Guide. Legend has it that the poisonous dragon [Durin] died in this ridge.

Ying and Paimon climbed up the long ridgeline.

Withered leaves and fallen vines cover the road, pear blossoms are covered in snow and the mountains are sealed off. The snow is so thick that you can't distinguish between goose feathers and willow catkins. The wind is blowing so hard that you can't hear the sound of plum blossoms being cut and pear blossoms being blown across the mountains. The snow falls freely and gracefully along the mountain road, drifting and swaying across the mountain rocks. The rustling cold penetrates to the bone, and the whistling wind chills you to the bone.

This is the coldest place in Mondstadt, and also the most beautiful place in Mondstadt.

When you reach the summit, you can see the pale sunlight through the thin clouds, blending with the mountain lines and creating a hazy scene. The clouds are bathed in light, the frost is scattered, and the fluffy white snowflakes mingle with the morning light, making it impossible to distinguish where the sky ends and the mountains begin.

Legend has it that as long as you climb to the highest point of Longji Snow Mountain, you will receive the blessing of the dragon and have a smooth year ahead.

"We've arrived."

Ying stood atop the mountain peak, before her a breathtakingly beautiful view. She lowered her head slightly, took out the well-worn "Teyvat Travel Guide" from her bosom, and...

"On the 21st, I went up Longji Snow Mountain with Lao Zongzi and Paimeng to see the snow. It was very warm on the mountain, and the sunlight shone on the ridgeline, which was beautiful."

God kept it on her waist.

Ying has always had the habit of writing travel notes.

She would write down the locations she visited and then cross them off in the travel guide.

There were other notes on the title page, all of which she had written before.

"On the 18th, I went fishing at Guojiu Lake with Qingye Hua. The 'bomb' (a type of explosive) worked very well; I baited the hooks with the 'bomb' and that's how I caught my fish."

'On the 19th, after finishing with the last altar, we went to Takasō Beach and climbed Cape Oathguard. Kiyono almost fell. By the way, the wind on the cape was very pleasant.'

...

"There's still so much to see in Mondstadt... Let's take it slow."

Ying muttered to herself as she flipped through the Teyvat guidebook, "The next place is... Starfall Lake, Springvale, and Wolfrun?"

She is traveling.

Xingluo Lake is very beautiful.

It lies at the boundary between Falling Star Valley and Whispering Forest, reflecting the Milky Way at night. After picking some wild berries in the forest, and passing Starfall Lake, one arrives at Star-Picking Cliff. Ying climbed the mountain all day, and by the time she reached the summit, it was already dark. She tiptoed slightly, and the dazzling sea of ​​stars seemed within reach—she could pluck the stars.

"On the 22nd, we went fishing at Xingluo Lake, and then went hiking together. This time, Lao Zongzi didn't fall, but Paimon kept complaining about how difficult the path was... When we reached the top, we really could reach for the stars."

Qingquan Town is a very peaceful town.

The gentle breeze stirred the old windmills, and the field ridges were covered with dew. We ordered two bottles of ale at the town's liquor store, and then went fishing in the stream in front of the town. We grilled the fish we caught, and the tender fish skin was grilled to a golden brown. It was delicious, and we ate it with the ale. But we caught too many fish and couldn't finish them.

"On the 20th, I went to Qingquan Town with Lao Zongzi. The barley wine there was delicious; I let him try some of my homemade wine, and he praised it highly."

There are no wolves in Benlangling.

The boundless plains were covered with rolling green meadows, where grass grew tall and birds sang. Unable to catch any fish on the wolf's den, Ying tried hunting, but to no avail. He had no choice but to eat his dry rations and set up camp on the spot. When night fell, the stars hung low over the plains, their vast starlight spreading across the grassland as if shooting stars were falling.

It was nighttime, and Paimon, exhausted from a day of playing, lay down and fell asleep without a care in the world.

"On the 21st, I went to Wolf's Den, but caught nothing. I ate Qingye's 'French Weapons'—it's strange, I don't know why he gave hard biscuits such a bizarre name. The stars are beautiful."
