Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

Chapter 496 Locking the country and visiting friends (page 13)



Maplehara Manyo left Inazuma.

With the magatama given by Rina Yae, and with the secret help of Kamiko Yae and Ayato Kamisato, he successfully boarded the Southern Cross fleet from Liyue, became a member of the fleet, and traveled across the ocean with Captain Beidou. The sea finally gained freedom.

Beidou smiled heartily, stretched out his hand to pat his shoulder, and congratulated loudly: "Congratulations, Manyo. In a situation like Inazuma's, it is wise to leave. You are free!"

free.

This word appeared repeatedly in his mind, like a silent and grand welcome party, making his mind buzzing. He looked at the magatama in his hand, silently and belatedly——

Yes, it's "freedom".

A few days after that, Inazuma officially began to implement the national lockdown order, and the sea that had been able to escape with luck before was no longer as calm as it was originally.

Maplehara Manyo keenly noticed that waves of daunting thunderstorms were rising in the vast sea surrounding Inazuma.

As soon as you get close to that area, the thunderstorm will be like a dense drum beat, which will frighten people and make you panic.

He knew the moment the thunderstorm appeared...

From now on.

People outside can't go back.

The people inside couldn't leave either.

——And Yae Rina, who gave herself this magatama, a bird that advocates freedom, has to be trapped in Inazuma like this?

Such an incredible answer gradually became clear with thinking.

He found in disbelief that... it was like this.

As a miko of Narukami Taisha Shrine, Yae Rina cannot leave Inazuma, and now...she can't leave Inazuma either.

When thinking of this, Maplehara Manyo's eyes dimmed slightly, and his mood did not feel relaxed at all because he successfully left Inazuma.

He thought of hearing her say "goodbye" in the small world.

He suddenly realized that Rina was following Yae Kamiko, and although she was usually indifferent and insensitive to it, she still knew some things that she should know.

Maybe the other party already knew something. The "goodbye" she said to herself was like a whitewashed canvas. After peeling off the colors layer by layer, the most tragic tone revealed might be "farewell forever". ".

"Rina..."

His heart felt a little astringent, a certain emotion filled his chest, and he was speechless.

The Ronin samurai stood on the deck, looking at the thunderstorm area that was gradually receding, and only the faint outline of the sacred cherry tree of Narukami Taisha Shrine was visible. The sadness in his heart was so profound that it was indescribable.

"Little brother Wanyu, Wanyu?"

A hand suddenly patted his shoulder from behind, and Maplehara Manyo came back to his senses instantly. He turned around following the force, and the person calling him was a crew member with whom he had just met when he boarded the ship.

"What's the matter?" Maplehara Manyo asked.

"Sister Beidou has something to do with you. What were you thinking about just now? You were so fascinated that I just called you several times."

"Okay, I understand, thank you for letting me know." Maplehara Manyo thanked him politely, and then turned around to find Beidou.

The Southern Cross fleet gradually moved away, and Maplehara Manyo became a member of this place. He had lived a homeless life for two years. Unexpectedly, he now changed from wandering on land to wandering on the sea.

...It seems that they are all wandering, and there is no difference.

Strange people and strange things will become familiar sooner or later.

only……

Maplehara Manyo took one last look in Inazuma's direction.

——There is no reason why he should leave with peace of mind while Rina is still there.

They also yearn for freedom, Maplehara Manyo hopes that Yae Rina can also be free.

On the other side, Narukami Taisha Shrine.

Rina Yae personally saw off Manyo Maplehara, and she returned to her usual place. Just after passing the torii gate, she saw Yae Kamiko standing there in the distance.

The little monster's nose felt sore and she almost cried.

Chuanhu comforted her along the fur: "Okay, okay, don't be sad."

She stretched out one hand to stroke Rina's long, smooth white hair, and with the other hand she held the little monster in her arms, patting her every now and then.

At this time, Yae Rina felt that the image of the fox suddenly became taller.

She sniffed, but she didn't speak harshly. She said very honestly: "Son of God, I feel a little uncomfortable."

The other party whispered: "Yeah."

Yae Rina thought that even though she had seen so many farewells with her own eyes, when this happened to her, everything was still different.

Yae Shenzi sighed.

"Rina, you have to know that not all promises can be fulfilled."

The little monster has already experienced this, right?

Whether it is a promise to travel together or a promise to share the scenery together, it seems that there is no way to be fulfilled.

As long as Inazuma's thunder continues, the little monster is trapped here and it will be difficult to gain freedom.

The word "freedom" seems to be just an empty definition most of the time, but when you are mentally trapped, the word becomes concrete again.

Yae Rina tightened her hands and asked the palace minister in front of her expectantly: "Will the lockdown order be lifted?"

The Eightfold Divine Son was slightly startled.

"Maybe... there will be one day." She said with a smile, but her tone was a little sad.

I just don’t know when that day will come.

No one can influence the god's thoughts, not even as a member of the Thunder God.

What's more... others don't know, but she knows.

That god has closed himself in the pure land of one heart for a long, long time.

The person who is now in charge is the puppet "Thunder and Lightning General" made by the gods.

The flowers of the sacred cherry tree are about to wither, and spring has come to an end.

Rina got a specious answer. She turned back into a bird and flew to the eaves and stayed motionless.

*

A month has passed.

After the lockdown, there seemed to be more people praying to and from Narukami Taisha Shrine.

Yae Rina has been busy for a long time, and she has become accustomed to standing next to the anchor point of Narukami Grand Shrine, waiting for the pilgrims who are about to come.

She saw a staggering old woman, who was walking up the mountain with a cane and was trembling to pray for blessings. The old woman had a stooped back and looked very old. Her hair was covered with silver hair, her face was sad, and her face was deeply wrinkled.

...As if anyone could push her down with just a touch, the old woman was so weak that she had to use all her strength to climb up Narukami Taisha Shrine.

Yae Rina walked to her side and stretched out her hand to help her.

"Please be careful," she whispered. "The path here is uneven and there is slippery moss on the steps."

Most of the people who come to pray are old people, and many people have fallen on these steps.

She probably knew the reason why everyone came to Narukami Taisha Shrine. It was probably due to the "Lockdown Order" that had some impact.

Either it affects lives, or it affects relatives and families.
