Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

Rice Wife, Kamisato's family.

This year's winter seems to be extremely cold. The sky hasn't cleared up for a long time, so forget about the sun. After a few days, it started to snow slowly.

The young white-haired girl stood in front of the eaves and looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky. She tilted her head in distress and had to turn around and go back indoors.

"Brother, when do you think the sky will clear up?"

The young man she called "brother" was sitting at the desk looking at an ancient book she found somewhere.

After hearing what his sister said, the boy with light blue hair put down the ancient book in his hand and said, "I don't know, does Linghua want to go out? It's really inconvenient for Xuetian..."

Kamisato Ayaka was a little embarrassed: "Father and mother haven't been back for a long time."

There are many things to do in the society. Now the head of the Kamisato family and his wife often go out and are so busy that they can hardly touch the ground.

Kamisato Ayato understood: "Is it because I miss my parents? Speaking of which, the things they have to deal with during this trip are not too heavy. They may be back in two days, so don't worry."

This should have been the most normal daily life for a brother and sister.

The Kamisato family encountered changes when the brother and sister's great-grandfather came to power. The Five Legends of Thunder and Lightning were massacred, and the status of the Kamisato family plummeted. After the death of my great-grandfather, both generations of my grandfather and my father worked hard to restore the status of the community.

Both Kamisato Aya and Kamisato Ayaka know these things.

Parents work hard to achieve this goal, but there is nothing they can do about it.

In order to divert the younger sister's attention, Ayato Kamisato suggested: "The tsubaki flowers in the yard should also be blooming around this time. When our parents come back, we can go and see them together."

Kamisato Ayaka opened her eyes slightly: "Really? But it didn't bloom last year..."

Last year, she visited it almost every day in late winter and early spring, but the chun tree had no intention of blooming at all.

It wasn't until summer came that Kamisato Ayaka accepted the fact with despair.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Kamisato Ayato comforted her: "Maybe this year will be different?"

He thought: temperature or moisture, or something else, it is always these reasons.

Because his parents are busy, they always have little energy to take care of the family, but he has not yet been involved in family affairs, and he still has enough leisure to take care of his sister.

After seeing his sister who was missing because the tsubaki flowers didn't bloom last year, Ayato Kamisato sent someone to ask a famous craftsman in taking care of flowers and plants for advice. If nothing goes wrong this year, they should bloom.

After that, Ayaka Kamisato held a hand warmer and went to the Tsubaki tree every day to observe.

Spring is cold.

But even though it was so cold, a few other flowers bloomed faintly, and only the Chinese chrysanthemum tree remained silent.

The young Kamisato Ayaka didn't understand.

When the birds that had disappeared all winter were occasionally seen flying back from far away places in the sky, Ayaka Kamisato still didn't understand.

Half a month later, the head of the Kamisato family and his wife finally returned. They also brought a child who looked very strange to him. As soon as they got to know each other, they found out that the child named Thomas accidentally drifted from Mondstadt to Rice. Now he has nowhere to go, so he was adopted by the community.

The brother and sister accepted him and were happy for a few days because their parents were home. At this time, Kamisato Ayaka suddenly remembered something and suggested: "By the way, my brother said that the toon flowers in the yard will bloom this year. When the flowers bloom, let's go and watch them together."

But I still haven’t waited until that time.

Kamisato Ayaka looked forward to watching the flowers bloom with her family every day, but the flowers still did not bloom, and her father became seriously ill due to overwork.

When he was dying, the brother and sister knelt silently in front of their father's bed. Their mother looked haggard, and the room was silent except for the cold spring breeze outside the window.

The man can feel that his life has come to an end.

Kamisato Ayato looked at his father on the bed and didn't know how to describe his state of mind.

"pat-"

With a gentle sound, the door was opened horizontally.

Perhaps a young man of his age had just learned some stories about supernatural beings. As he was filled with sadness, he suddenly saw the "spirits" written in the book in this trance.

She was a woman with extraordinary beauty, she looked to be around 20 years old, her dark hair was simply tied up with a hair tie, and she was also dressed in a very special way. Kamisato Ayato was born in a shrine, and he knew all about Inazuma's clothing and culture, but he had never seen anything like this.

Compared to Dao Wife, this seems to be more Liyue's style.

When she passed by, he vaguely smelled the scent of tonka flowers that his little sister had been looking forward to.

She just walked to her father's bed.

Because no one stopped him midway, for a moment, Kamisato Ayato couldn't help but think that this was some kind of illusion emanating from the urgency hidden in his heart.

But the next moment, the man with the scent of chun flowers spoke to his dying father, and his tone of voice was as cold as the collision of jade: "According to the contract, I can save you once."

……contract?

Everyone present looked confused, even the mother was stunned for a moment.

But, can he be saved?

They all looked at the person on the bed, but the person on the bed shook his head with his last breath.

"No, put... put this contract with the next generation of family heads." He said.

"Yes." The other party nodded slightly, and the next moment he turned his head and glanced at the two young brothers and sisters beside the bed. Kamisato Ayaka hadn't figured out what happened yet. She just knew that her father was going to die soon, so she knelt down and whispered. Sob.

And Kamisato Ayato met her eyes.

He saw endless indifference.

Regarding such a separation of life and death, there was no other emotion in the eyes of this person who had no idea what kind of contract he was holding.

Another trance, and she disappeared.

"...Chunhua?" He hesitated.

"It's Tsubaki." The father on the bed coughed and grabbed Kamisato Ayato's hand.

"She has a contract with the Kamisato family. I, ahem, forgive me for being mean...but...as long as she doesn't leave, the Kamisato family, which is now weak, will be protected."

Kamisato Ayato didn't quite understand the secrets of the family, but it seemed that his father had exhausted all his strength and closed his eyes after entrusting the burden to him.

Kamisato Ayato was slightly startled, and his father's hand loosened his grip.

Father is dead.

The disheartened mother ultimately failed to survive this harsh spring.

The society practices rituals and sacrifices. As the next head of the family, Kamisato Ayato knows how to handle various activities, but he did not expect that the first "ceremony" he presided over would be so sad.

And today, the white chrysanthemum flowers in the yard finally bloomed.

The fragrance is lingering, and when the wind blows, the petals fall like snow, as if they are also commemorating the departure of their parents.

From then on, Kamisato Ayato had to take over as the head of the family and shoulder the important responsibility in the precarious situation.

When he returned to his father's study to sort out his belongings, he finally saw the "contract."

What he had expected was right——

The being who carries the fragrance of the chun flowers is not a spirit in the story, but actually a real immortal.
