Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

At the very beginning, the story was so beautiful that it felt like you were witnessing something actually happening.

The ancestor of the Kamisato family saved a tsubaki sapling, so the immortal in the tsubaki tree made a contract with the head of the Kamisato family to "save his life" in order to repay it.

Before the contract is implemented, the immortal will always stay in the toon tree, which can be regarded as another layer of protection for the Kamisato family. But the Kamisato family never thought about troublesome immortals. In the hearts of the generation of family heads who got married to Huaiyue, this was a secret that no one had told anyone.

Kamisato Ayato knew that Huaiyue had stayed at Kamisato's house for at least two hundred years - that was what Huaiyue said personally. During the few times she was awake, at least two hundred years had passed.

In other words, including the time Huaiyue slept, maybe three hundred or four hundred years... Maybe the Shenli family at that time was still the Shenli family, not the Shenli family... But for how long is the specific time, Shenli Ayato doesn’t know.

But regardless of the specific age, apart from the contract to "save the life of the head of the Kamisato family", Huaiyue has also existed as the patron saint of the Kamisato family for so many years.

She witnessed the development of the Kamisato family, witnessed the long-term changes of Inazuma's country... and always abided by the contract of the year, and stayed in the chun tree for many, many long and lonely years.

Such a long time is long enough to be worth the "life-saving grace".

So a few years ago, Kamisato Ayato, who had just received the contract, didn't understand why his ancestor was unwilling to let Huaiyue show up, but now he understands.

Paimon asked, "What's that for?"

“Maybe it’s because of guilt,” the traveler said. “When a certain head of the Kamisato family realizes this, but fails to make up his mind to terminate the contract, that feeling of guilt will make it impossible to face her. "

The contract that cannot be terminated is passed on to the next generation by one person who is haunted by guilt. Even Kamisato Ayato has to admit that people are always afraid of carrying something.

——For example, let go of the responsibility of the guardian angel, such as the courage to terminate the contract.

The white chrysanthemum flower has become a symbol of the Kamisato family... How can someone take the step of change?

Later, after the Kamisato family's status plummeted due to the Thunder and Lightning incident, his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather... were even more unable to choose to terminate the contract at this time, thus letting the family's "security" go.

So they would rather cover their ears and steal the news. As long as they don't meet Huai Yue, the guilt that burns through their hearts the more they understand when they meet, can be alleviated.

Kamisato Ayato knew it, and of course he stepped into such a vortex of guilt.

If the Immortal could take the lead and propose to leave, every head of the family would not stop him.

But she didn't.

Because Huaiyue keeps his promise.

So Huaiyue noticed that the head of the Shenli family was avoiding her, so she took the initiative to fall into deep sleep.

But he will not actively choose to leave.

Then, when she was dying, Huai Yue emerged from a cloud of chrysanthemum flowers, stood in front of the dying head of the family, and said the same words as her father, "I can save your life." A lifetime of guilt, of course, comes back with a vengeance.

——Because of an unintentional act, the Kamisato family has been favored by immortals for hundreds of years. How can they dare to ask for another chance to live?

So the contract continues and continues.

Until Kamisato Ayato and Sage made a simpler... new contract.

Obviously, with the reason of "Huaiyue helping Ayato Kamisato" and the purpose of "restoring the status and power of the Kamisato family", Huaiyue did not take the initiative to fall asleep... He was sixteen years old at the time, thinking that he would wait until this inevitable event When the matter was completed and the hundred-year-long contract between Huaiyue and the Shenli family could finally be terminated, he even felt a sense of relief that he had never expressed before.

but……

Paimon asked: "But, if that's the case, then the termination of the contract is also a good thing you hoped for, and it is about to be achieved now. Why do you still look so... so unhappy at this time?"

Paimon didn't understand, but as a girl, a traveler has a keener understanding of emotions. She looked at Kamisato Ayato and said softly: "Paimon, human emotions are very complicated."

"Complicated? Could it be that Ayato doesn't want to terminate the contract now?"

"On the contrary." Kamisato Ayato shook his head and said, "No one wants to terminate this contract more than me."

"then you……"

"I just didn't think about it..."

Halfway through his words, he aroused Paimeng's curiosity and turned to talk about another thing: "Do you know when I first met Huaiyue? That year, my father and mother passed away one after another. My sister and I were suddenly the only ones left in the Shenli family... If Huaiyue hadn't been there, that journey would have been much more difficult."

At the age of sixteen, he had to shoulder the responsibility of reviving the family. If it weren't for Huaiyue...

This immortal, who is a little cold at first contact, will agree to all his requests in a calm tone. Every year when I wake up in the spring, I will see his and Ayaka’s wishes hanging on the branches of the Chinese oak tree. I will imitate them on New Year’s Eve despite being sleepy and give them the gifts they have prepared, and then I will accompany them through the New Year’s Eve before returning. Go to the chun tree and sleep soundly all winter.

As the young head of the family, Kamisato Ayato must maintain a strong posture no matter what the situation is. Because Ayaka is still young, she does not need to participate in the power struggle. He can just come.

But occasionally he would sigh that he was really tired.

Kamisato Ayato has been guarding his father's wishes and his sister's wishes. He has been busy for this and does not dare to slack off.

A breeze gradually blew up in Shefengxing, and the leaves of the Chinese chrysanthemum trees rustled and swayed, exuding traces of sunlight. In the quiet atmosphere with memories, time becomes longer.

"Then one day, she gave me a toon flower."

Kamisato Ayato said, "She said it was a reward, and I could ask her for a wish."

Unexplainable feelings slowly grew in my heart.

All his reason was telling him that he shouldn't make this wish. The Kamisato family already owed Huaiyue too much. It was time for her to leave and the contract should be terminated. but……

He thought again, if he could use this wish to make her stay.

No, you absolutely cannot think that way.

At the age of sixteen, when the contract was changed, Kamisato Ayato had already thought about it——

Restoring the status of the Kamisato family is something he must do.

...The same goes for letting Huai Yue leave.

*

After saying these words, Kamisato Ayato was silent for a while, and suddenly returned to a smile that made people unable to see his emotions: "I'm sorry, this story is indeed not a very good one. I can't tell Ayahua this way." If so, I have no choice but to tell you... I hope you don't feel bored."

The traveler was silent for a moment and then replied: "I won't be bored, but it suddenly felt a little..."

Paimon added what she said from the bottom of her heart: "Uh... I don't know why, but I feel a little stuffy."

After a long time, Paimon seemed to have thought of something and immediately asked: "What about Huaiyue? What did Huaiyue think?"

"Huaiyue only said that our long life is just a short 'moment' to her."

The traveler thought: But hundreds of years are not a short moment after all...

The immortals in Liyue still get together occasionally and can go wherever they want, but Huaiyue has stayed alone for so many years, and because she is keenly aware that the successive heads of the Shenli family are not very willing to have her show up, He took the initiative and fell into a deep sleep.

Until Kamisato Ayato changed the contents of the contract with her.

It was different from the indifference I felt when I first met her.

"Huaiyue is a very gentle immortal," the traveler said.

Ayato Kamisato said: "So, when she wakes up... I'll trouble you to make another trip and send her back to Liyue. This time, just take this chun tree with you. Wait until it's done. After that, you can come to Kamisato’s house to receive your reward.”

--small theater--

Ayato Kamisato (ooc version): Originally, I just wanted to find a reason to terminate the contract. After all, the Kamisato family has been favored for so many years, and my conscience hurts if I don’t let go.

Kamisato Ayato (ooc version): But my family doesn’t understand. I was just sixteen at the time. I didn’t have an elder but a younger one. I still couldn’t take over the burden on my shoulders perfectly for a while, but I was forced to To grow... At this time, an immortal who looks cold but is actually a very kind person suddenly falls from the sky and always helps me, even if I knew it was out of contract from the beginning, but is it the same? ! ! Now that the contract is about to be terminated, I can’t live with it emotionally!

Kamisato Ayato (ooc version) (bitter smile): I like it, but I don’t dare to like it.
