Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

The day after Il was declared free, Seno was reinstated.

Just like what he told Little Lucky Grass King at the beginning, his suspension will last until Il returns to Sumeru City. He believes that it will not be too late, and the fact is just like his trust in Il.

——It is indeed not too late.

After receiving the news, Sano was about to go to congratulate El.

With a lot of words in his mind, he opened the door, excited and looking forward to what would happen next.

But he was stunned the next moment.

El seemed unhappy, her expression too calm.

The researcher lady just sat in front of the desk in the sunshine, looking at the large and carefully cultivated Xumi roses on the window sill in a daze.

Seno suddenly realized something.

"Are you reluctant to give up?" he asked.

El turned to look at him.

"I just heard that you were reinstated." She murmured, "...why?"

This question is a bit strange, as the words that are about to be spoken seem to be hidden before the "why".

Xeno paused for a moment and immediately realized what she was actually asking.

Now that we know that he has resumed his position, of course we also know what he has not said before.

There is actually no need for Seno to be exiled. The matter that confused Elle three years ago was finally answered, and she learned all the truth from the Little Lucky Grass King.

Seno followed her to the desert voluntarily. As one of the heroes who saved Little Lucky Grass King, how could he be exiled?

[He dealt a heavy blow to Azar and others who had been exiled, and then destroyed the Hermanubis' triangular pyramid seal. ] Nasida in the dream smiled softly, [What happened next... I shouldn't have condemned him like this, but he cares about you very much. 】

So he voluntarily suspended his duties until Il was declared fit to return to Sumeru City.

That's it.

Something that had not been exposed was placed in front of me so unexpectedly.

why.

she thinks.

She had no merit at all. At that time, the enthusiasm for research had just passed, and her huge heart was ashes. A bad sadness lingered in her heart, like a long-lasting wildfire, burning people until they couldn't survive.

She was in agony and felt no one had mercy on her.

So...why?

Seno looked at her.

His red eyes were as calm as ever, with a slight smile.

"Actually, you already have the answer in your mind, don't you?" He whispered the truth with great certainty, "El, your thinking is much faster than mine, and many things you haven't said clearly have already been concluded in your mind. "

"I like you, I love you...no matter what, you know."

The scene was silent.

The hot desert wind blows in from the window, and the air is filled with the fragrance of roses on the windowsill.

What everyone knew well finally became clear at this moment.

Xeno knew El as El knew him.

Because she is timid, cowardly, and weak-willed, if she were told this "love" suddenly, without much thought, El would definitely stay away from him subconsciously, and maybe even taunt her with a pretense of indifference, "Then your eyes are still there." It's bad".

He knew that even though so much time had passed and they had known each other for so long, he knew that El had never thought that he had any qualities worthy of being cherished.

He didn't understand it before, but he understood it later.

So he never took the initiative to express this feeling. He wanted to be with her and tell her that the world was not as bad as she thought.

He wanted to help her fit in here.

I want her to see the world outside of research.

I want her to experience rich emotions and perceive the many colors in the world, I want her to understand that things are not irreversible, and I want her to learn to cherish everything she has now.

Whether it's a healthy body or deep emotions, in short, he hopes that she can become a person who can truly let go of her guard and accept the world.

El has many beautiful qualities, but she doesn't realize them.

"So...what about you?" He looked at her with a smile, "Do you like me?"

After many years of concealment, the heartbeat that I realized in hindsight during my student days was finally spoken out so frankly at this moment.

El was stunned for a long time, with these words ringing in her ears, she finally came to her senses, and then she seemed to be burned by his gaze, and looked away hastily.

Just staring at her own shadow, she remained motionless, as if her body was imprisoned by something.

The researcher who is always trying his best to maintain his dignity did not expect that he could be so embarrassed.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her mind went blank.

The sudden surge of emotion in his heart made his chest swell, and El was almost unable to breathe. Just thinking about it made him feel that he had never been so bad.

"I, Seno..." She spoke incoherently, "I'm not, no, I want to say, I...Seno, are you kidding me?"

It seemed that she had finally found a suitable entry point. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her next words became much smoother.

"If you were joking, I'll give you a chance to take back those words."

Even though she said such words, she still didn't dare to look at him.

Sano saw that the tips of her red ears were partially covered by her hair.

"It's not a joke." His voice sounded from behind.

"It's not a joke, and you heard it right. If you need me to reiterate it again..." After a pause, Sano's voice ended with a faint but obvious smile, "I like you, I love you... no matter what. OK, I want to be with you."

The calm lake water was finally stirred up by just a few words. The wave was so big that Il had no way to stop it.

……like?

She was at a loss for a long time.

Then I finally found my voice.

"Seno." She said in a solemn voice, rarely escaping, "You are really going too far."

It was too much for her to answer the question so bluntly.

And he knew her, so this answer was already a kind of acquiescence.

"Sorry, it's my fault." Seno replied, "Maybe I should ask directly - can I hug you?"

"..."

So he sighed, hugged her from behind, and placed a gentle kiss on the top of her furry gray hair.
