Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

"Hehehe..."

The laughter made Yi Chen's hand, which had just caught the protective charm, tremble violently.

He looked down at the exquisitely crafted amulet in his hand, which contained extraordinary energy, and then at the seemingly ruthless but actually somewhat panicked back of Yae no Miko. He was once again plunged into a great sense of confusion.

So... what exactly is going on here?!

Chapter 38 dokidoki

At that moment, behind a cluster of lush hydrangeas not far away, Ayaka Kamisato gently parted the leaves with her slender fingers, taking in the entire scene of Yichen's interaction with Yae no Shinji.

Her emotions rose and fell with the conversation between the two men.

When she saw Yichenjun immediately "discard the bridge after crossing the river" and laugh arrogantly after completing the "third confession," she couldn't help but facepalm helplessly.

The behavior after the onset of this illness is indeed illogical and full of contradictions.

However, when Yichenjun suddenly changed his tone, becoming incredibly serious and even resolute in saying "I will take responsibility," and almost blurted out the word "marry"...

Ayaka Kamisato felt as if something had gently bumped into her heart.

Even under such obviously morbid and uncontrollable behavior, did Yichen Jun still subconsciously maintain such a strong sense of responsibility and commitment?

Despite being relentlessly pressured and even teased by Yaezuki, he still felt the need to take responsibility…

As expected... Yichen-jun is truly a rare good man at heart...

This shining quality, even in illness, made Ayaka feel a touch of tenderness amidst her worry.

Fortunately, it seems that Lord Yae no Kōji was really just teasing Yichen-kun.

Judging from her flustered attempts to stop Yichenjun from saying anything even more shocking, and even her near-flight, she clearly didn't take this "joke during illness" seriously.

It seems Lord Gongsi is still sensible and doesn't really intend to take this opportunity to tie up Yichen-jun...

Ayaka Kamisato breathed a slight sigh of relief. If Yae no Kamiko really agreed, then Yichen-jun's morbid idea of ​​"taking responsibility" would probably cause endless trouble.

The crisis was temporarily averted. But Ayaka's sense of responsibility grew even stronger.

She lowered her head, her gaze falling on the thick psychology notebook in her arms, her fingers lightly brushing over words such as "compensation for emotional deficiency" and "substitution for maternal care".

The reason why Yichenjun has become like this is ultimately because he lacked the most fundamental, stable, and selfless care.

What he subconsciously longed for was perhaps not romantic love, but rather a warm and reliable sense of acceptance that was closer to familial affection.

Yae no Kami's teasing and dangerous charm obviously couldn't give him what he really needed, and might even have worsened his condition.

Ayaka Kamisato's gaze gradually became firm and gentle. A crystal-clear thought took shape in her mind, tinged with a hint of shyness, yet filled with an unwavering determination.

She gently closed the notebook, clutching it tightly to her chest, as if it were some important action plan.

Now that the root cause of his illness has been identified, as a friend and someone who cares about him, she should lend a helping hand.

Provide him with the stable and warm "care" he needs.

Things that Yae no Kōji cannot do, or rather, is unwilling to do seriously...

"...I'll do it."

She murmured to herself, two faint yet incredibly determined blushes rising on her fair cheeks.

Being a mother or something...

She can do it too!

To help Yichenjun overcome this strange illness, she, Ayaka Kamisato, felt it was her duty to make this small "sacrifice" without hesitation!

At this moment, after Yi Chen's figure completely disappeared at the end of the mountain path, the Eightfold Divine Child, who had maintained a lazy and composed posture, seemed to have had some kind of support suddenly removed, and gently leaned back against the ancient divine cherry tree trunk.

She raised one hand and gently covered her face, the wide sleeve hanging down to conceal her perhaps somewhat flustered expression.

The cheek that my fingertips touched felt slightly hot.

"...Really."

A very soft sigh, tinged with helplessness and frustration, escaped from between her fingers.

Although... I did have a tiny, insignificant fondness for that child, finding him interesting and pleasing to the eye, which is why I readily agreed to his inexplicable confession, treating it as a new game in the long journey of life...

This young man… why does he do things so unpredictably?!

After confessing his feelings, he became arrogant, and then suddenly became serious and wanted to "take responsibility," even almost saying the word "marry"!

That direct, clumsy yet exceptionally determined gaze, so devoid of any finesse, was a truly heartfelt impact…

This caused even the old fox who had lived for countless years to almost have her heart skip a beat for a moment, and she was unusually flustered!

Yae no Miko lowered her hand, revealing a face with a complex expression and a lingering blush. She shook her head, trying to shake off that unfamiliar flutter of emotion.

However, her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the scene just now, and she began to objectively re-examine Yichen as if evaluating a precious item.

Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, this child is indeed very good-looking, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, a tall and straight figure, and an air of nobility when he has a cold face, but he is also exceptionally cute when he is shy.

As for his character... he's beyond reproach. He'd risk his life for the people of Inazuma, and he even has such a rigid yet endearing sense of responsibility when it comes to relationships. He's so naive that you want to tease him, yet so upright that you admire him.

Strength and potential... He possesses the heart of the Wind God and is a "candidate" favored by Barbatos. He can withstand a blow from Wuxiang and survive the Pure Land of One Heart. His future is limitless.

Oh, right, there seems to be a faint but extremely pure aura of the Qilin clan on him...

It seems I have some kind of connection with Sister Gan Yu?

This background is getting more and more interesting.

And most importantly...

Yae no Miko couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile again, a hint of predatory interest flashing in her eyes.

—He's still that kind of innocent little boy who blushes, gets flustered, and acts all cute and innocent when teased! His reactions are so irresistible!

From this perspective, whether considering identity, ability, character, or even purely personal "hobbies"...

Yi Chen is really becoming more and more to her liking.

Thinking of this, Yae no Miko's gaze shifted slightly, landing on the flashy-covered romance novel on the recliner beside her. The pages were turning gently in the breeze.

She was silent for a moment, then, as if she had made a decision, she chuckled softly. The chuckle was no longer entirely playful; instead, it carried a genuine, tender quality.

Since you've provoked me so "seriously"...

So, this "playing house" game, which originally started just for fun, might as well be played by Yae no Miko...

Let's be a little more serious.

Her fingertips lightly traced the illustration of the male and female protagonists embracing on the page, her eyes gleaming with a deep purple, unfathomable light.

Chapter 39 The Mother's Love Completion Plan

At this moment, Yi Chen was already standing in the empty and solemn hall of the Sky Keep, facing the cold puppet general on the throne.

He took a deep breath, and with a flash of light, the long and ornate Zanpakuto—Senbonzakura—a reward from the system, was already in his hand.

The blade shimmered with a faint pink halo, a stark contrast to the black gold ancient sword he had previously used.

"I'm ready, let me in."

The puppet general's unwavering purple eyes swept over the new weapon in his hand, pausing almost imperceptibly.

Space shattered and peeled away suddenly, like a mirror.

The next moment, Yichen stepped once again into that desolate and lonely Pure Land, where only eternal lightning flickered.

Lei Yingdian floated in the air and slowly opened his eyes.

Her gaze immediately fell on the overly beautiful, even somewhat fragile, knife in Yi Chen's hand.

"Did they switch to a new weapon?"

"Come on, let me see what new tricks you have up your sleeve."

"Dream as one" coalesced in her hands, radiating a chilling aura.

Yi Chen didn't waste any words.

He held the thousand cherry blossoms upright in front of him and recited softly:

"[Swastika] Senbonzakura Kagegan!"

The moment the words fell, something strange happened!

The Zanpakuto in his hand suddenly emitted an incomparably dazzling pink light, and then, like a withering cherry blossom, it shattered inch by inch from his hand, turning into countless tiny blades that gleamed with a cold light and were extremely sharp!

This is not collapse, but true liberation!

Countless tiny blades, as if possessing life, danced joyfully around Yichen, then, as if drawn by an invisible force, scattered and fell, deeply embedding themselves into the illusory ground of the Pure Land of One Heart.

The next moment, accompanied by a deafening roar, enormous blades made of countless sharp edges rose up from the ground like a growing steel forest!

In an instant, the blades covered a large area in front of Yi Chen. Each blade stood tall and imposing, radiating a cold light and exuding a sharp aura that made one's heart tremble!

The countless blades that made up the giant blade decomposed again, turning into more and denser tiny blades like cherry blossom petals, forming a boundless, dazzling, and deadly pink ocean that illuminated the entire Pure Land of One Heart with a magnificent yet treacherous atmosphere!

Billions of tiny blades floated and spun slowly in the air, emitting an extremely subtle yet powerful hum that converged into a grand tidal wave of sound—it was both incredibly beautiful and incredibly dangerous!

The cherry blossom blades fluttering in the air almost filled a corner of the Pure Land of the Heart, exquisitely beautiful, yet exuding a chilling killing intent.

Lei Yingdian floated quietly, watching this unprecedented scene. She slowly stretched out a hand, letting a "cherry blossom" gently fall on her fingertips.

The petals felt cool to the touch, had sharp edges, and contained a peculiar energy.

"I see,"

"Disintegrating the blade into billions of fluttering cherry blossoms... an all-encompassing attack and defense technique, penetrating every nook and cranny. What a romantic yet dangerous move, Kujou Itsuki."

Yi Chen stood amidst the falling cherry blossoms, his eyes sharp, assuming a fighting stance.

"Come on, Lei Movie!"

The battle has broken out again…

In the afternoon, the setting sun bathed the area in front of the Kamisato House in a warm golden hue.

A small figure, about three years old, reappeared in front of the tall gate.

Little Yichen puffed out his chubby cheeks, his fair face clearly showing his displeasure, and he was still muttering unhappily.

"Damn it... As expected of a top-tier martial god who fought his way out of the Demon God War... he still couldn't win! He was so close... Hmph!"

He stretched out his short legs and kicked the door panel not very hard, then tilted his head back and shouted in a clear, childlike voice:

"Thoma! Open the door! I'm home!"

However, it was not Thomas who opened the door this time.

The sliding door was gently pushed open, and behind it appeared Ayaka Kamisato, who had been waiting for a long time, her face showing just the right amount of surprise and tenderness.

She looked at the little boy at the door, who was so angry he looked like a pufferfish, yet still incredibly cute. Although she was a little annoyed that he had once again recklessly challenged the general, she felt more of a helpless "I knew it" attitude, and a secret joy.

Although I'm angry that he doesn't take care of his body, but... with that three-headed figure...

Her "maternal love restoration plan" seems to be able to be implemented more smoothly and legitimately.

"Welcome back, Yichen-jun."

Ayaka Kamisato crouched down, smiling gently, and extended her hands.

"You've worked hard again this time, come in quickly."

First, use warmth and care to fill in the missing part of him.

This frees him from having to seek out those illusory and dangerous "alternatives" outside.

Xiao Yichen was stunned for a moment when he saw Linghua's unusually gentle smile and outstretched arms.

I feel like there's something different about Ayaka today?

But he was feeling down because he had lost the fight, so he didn't have time to think about it. He just pouted and instinctively took his little legs toward that warm embrace, letting Ayaka carefully pick him up.

Hmm... Even though I didn't win, I'll be back with a warm embrace... so it doesn't seem like such a bad deal?

Xiao Yichen subconsciously snuggled against Linghua's fragrant shoulder, finding a comfortable spot, completely unaware that he was stepping into a sweet "trap" called "motherly love".

As Ayaka Kamisato felt the little one's dependent movements in her arms, her smile grew even gentler and brighter.

From that day on, Kamisato Yashiki seemed to have become a huge, soft cocoon in the name of maternal love.
