Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

"what--"

Ritsuka shivered.

"Senior, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just saw the disgusting side of capitalists and it made me a little disgusted."

"???"

Ritsuka looked at Kiritsugu Emiya with pity; she knew he was finished.

She had met that young man, Itachi Uchiha; his life was, if not utterly miserable, worse than that of a pig or a dog.

Leaving early and returning late every day? No, no, no, he doesn't sleep. He works 24 hours a day. When he gets really tired, he'll lean on his gun and doze off for a few minutes, only to be woken up a few minutes later to continue fighting.

Fighting relentlessly, like a weapon.

The most terrifying thing is that those demonic remnants, resentments, evil spirits, and so on will pollute the body and soul. If it weren't for the fact that he could go to the floating islands of Liyue to purify himself, he wouldn't even be able to get close to people.

Twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, he doesn't get a single day off. Especially during holidays, when the whole of Liyue is celebrating, it's his busiest time.

It's terrifying! The exploitation by capitalists is terrifying!

As expected of a merchant nation, are all the rulers of Liyue like this? I heard that Xiao used to live like this for over two thousand years. How did he manage to endure it?

Now that the Emperor has retired, Xiao has also retired, the Young Lord has succeeded to the throne, and the Young Lord's "Xiao" has also succeeded to the throne.

"Hmm?" Zhong Gui, who was talking to Kiritsugu, suddenly felt a sense of belittling towards Xiao, as if he had been compared to someone who shouldn't be compared.

Ritsuka: "Why are you looking at me?"

Zhong Gui: "...It's nothing."

Ritsuka: “…”

This is too dangerous. Does he know something?

But snap!

Ritsuka, feeling guilty, hugged the eggplant and dared not speak.

"senior?"

"Mash, don't be so noble in the future. Protecting your own life is the most important thing. If you're too selfless, you'll get captured by capitalists and forced to work for them."

"???"

……

"Damn it, you ran so fast!"

In a corner, Ishtar bared her teeth at Ereshkigal.

"Couldn't you have waited for me?! We're sisters! Blood sisters!!!"

"Huh? Sisters? You call yourself a sister?!" Ereshkigal glanced at her disdainfully, pointed at Sakura, and said, "That's my sister. Who do you think you are?"

"Sister?" Ishtar glanced at Sakura, then found her in the remaining memories of this body. "Pah, that's her sister, you shameless, gloomy woman."

"Hehe~ Anyway, we've already become family, so if you don't have to, stay away from me. I'm afraid Sakura will misunderstand." Eresh waved her hand as if shooing away a fly. "Also, let's not talk about our relationship before..."

There's not much to say about their past experiences; it's just that the older sister stripped the younger sister and hung her on the city gate, and the younger sister sent the older sister to the underworld, and so on...

"That's all in the past, let's not dwell on it." Ereshkigal seemed rather magnanimous. "But—"

"but what?"

"But what do you mean by bringing that person to the Underworld?!"

"I want you to help me kill her!"

"You want me to help you kill her? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" Ishtar said firmly, not to mention the shifty look in his eyes.

"You're just asking me to be played for you, aren't you? Do you think I don't know that?!"

"Ah... how is that possible~"

"Haha~"

Ai Lei was silent for a moment, then asked, "How were you captured?"

Sometimes I want to kill Ishtar, but after becoming one with that body, sometimes I can't help but want to say something.

"What else could it be? They just delivered themselves to my door."

Originally, Fujimaru Ritsuka was "playing" with Gilgamesh, and Gilgamesh "introduced" Siduri to Fujimaru Ritsuka. Up to this point, it had nothing to do with her, and then that day...

Ishtar felt an urge to cover her face whenever she recalled what had happened that day. She went to cause trouble for Gilgamesh, but he treated her warmly.

I initially thought Gilgamesh had taken the wrong medicine, but a little while later Siduri arrived with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Siduri pointed at Ishtar's nose and exclaimed, "My God, that is the most beautiful, richest, and wisest goddess in the world, the Babylonian goddess of nature and harvest, the goddess of love, fertility, and war, the symbol of Venus!"

Ishtar: "It's confirmed, she's my High Priest! Praise her more!"

Ritsuka: "Got it!"

……

Ishtar: "Just like that, I was captured. It's confirmed, it's my High Priest!"

"Heh, so that's the kind of person you are, which is why we have a high priest like this." Ereshkigal's laughter turned grim again. "So you shifted the blame and brought her to my underworld!?"

"It's been so long, what's wrong with seeing my dear sister!?"

"Watch my lips—beep beep beep!"

"can't read!"

"Stupid woman!"

"Huh!? Let me tell you, I am the wisest goddess, not someone a lowly country goddess like you could possibly understand!"

"I ran away."

"A country goddess! An earthworm in the soil!"

Gilgamesh also escaped.

"A country goddess! An earthworm in the soil! A cicada nymph in the burrow!"

"You didn't run away. Also, cicada nymphs are quite delicious~"

"what?"

"Would you like some?" Ai Lei asked, taking out the snacks Zhong Guifa had given her.

Ishtar: "???"

What are these things? They're all bugs!

"You... Ereshkigal, are you insane? Spit it out! Even if you live in the ground, you can't eat insects!!!"

Ishtar had never found this woman so terrifying—she ate insects!

Has the underworld become this terrible?!

What kind of life has she been living all these years? No wonder she hates me so much...

Ishtar suddenly felt that he understood this guy a little.

"Fine, I'm magnanimous. I'll take care of you when you come to Chaldea, at least I won't let you eat bugs anymore."

Ishtar has come to terms with it. What's the point of running away? In the end, she'll still be caught and brought back to Chaldea. After all, you can't escape this world.

“I have a job now,” Ellie said while eating. “The benefits there are great, with room and board included, and there are also sunflowers (a local social welfare program). It’s much better than my old job.”

"Wake up, stop dreaming, you still have to manage the dead."

"I'm going to manage the dead. I heard there's a princess there who doesn't manage things very well, so they want me to be the new princess." Ai Lei was somewhat excited. She was willing to go with Zhong Gui in the first place, especially since Zhong Gui showed her photos and videos of the underworld, which made her feel like it was paradise.

"Are you kidding me?! Where does the sun come from in the underworld?! Where does life come from?!" Ishtar panicked a little. If she runs away, am I the only one suffering? And are you sure you're talking about the underworld and not the human world?

"look--"

Aileen gave her a picture of a silly-looking black-winged girl hanging in the sky, radiating light and heat...

"sun???"

Chapter 272 Kiritsugu: Contracts are a great way to trick magicians!

Ishtar heard for the first time that there was a sun in the underworld...

But this... a crow?

She knew that there was a three-legged golden crow, the sun god bird, in the East, but this was not the radiant and majestic bird.

The girl looked dull and simple-minded, as if she didn't have a brain, but the immense power emanating from her terrified her.

She, Ishtar, is the embodiment of Venus, which sometimes represents the power of the sun. She could sense that the sun within this girl was not quite right.

It was clearly the sun, yet it was filled with resentment and the aura of death, as if it were the dark side of the sun, a black sun.

Most importantly, she not only possesses the mystical concept of the sun, but also the aura of the real-world sun—the scent of "fusion"...
