Honkai Impact 3: Taking Life as C? Even the Valkyries are afraid of me

Yaezakura carried a few packets of medicine and walked out the door along the cobblestone path.

She walked with an elegant posture and a gentle demeanor, and at such a young age she looked like a lady from a noble family.

Yaezakura is the future shrine maiden, and she is working towards this goal.

Stepping out of the pharmacy door, Yaezakura saw her sister enjoying the cherry blossoms, and a gentle smile appeared between her brows.

"Rin, we got the medicine, let's go."

Hearing her sister's pleasant voice, Yae Rin turned around, a smile as lovely as a little cherry blossom bloomed on her face, and she obediently let her sister Yae Sakura carry her on her shoulders.

Because of her illness, Yae Rin cannot move on her own, so she usually has to stay in the house. Even to go outside to the yard, she needs the help of her sister Yae Sakura. She is extremely weak.

The two sisters' home is in a shrine on the mountain, and Yaezakura is walking back with her sister on her back.

The sun gradually sets, and the west wind brings a cool breeze. There are more and more pedestrians on the street, including farmers returning home, stalls carrying shoulder poles, people selling herbal tea, ice cream, and tofu shops, shouting to passers-by.

"Fried tofu, delicious fried tofu." an old woman shouted.

Many people came forward and took out copper coins from their pockets.

Hearing the shouting, Yae Rin's eyes involuntarily looked towards the stall.

Pieces of golden fried tofu were placed there, exuding a tempting food aroma.

Yae Rin's favorite is the fried tofu made by the old lady at the foot of the mountain. Dip it in her secret chili sauce while it's still hot. The juice overflows with juice, the spicy taste of the chili, and the natural aroma of the fermented tofu burst in the mouth. It's so delicious.

When she smelled this, Yae Rin's throat moved involuntarily. She wanted to eat it so much. She wanted to eat it so much.

As if hearing her thoughts, Yaezakura stopped and walked to the stall.

"Grandma Shanxia, ​​two servings of fried tofu, take it away."

Hearing her sister's words, Yae Rin's mood suddenly became high, but she didn't have time to be happy.

Then I heard Yaezakura say, "Add chopped green onions, and don't make the sauce spicy."

Yae Rin was suddenly deflated. Fried tofu without chili sauce is soulless.

Yaezakura could only smile bitterly at this and felt deeply sorry. She knew that her sister liked to eat this, but patients needed to avoid it.

If you have a cough and then eat spicy food, it will put more burden on your body and make it more difficult to recover.

The old woman at the foot of the mountain has gray hair and is probably over fifty years old. One of her eyes is not very useful. It is said that the child sacrificed to the fox god ten years ago was her granddaughter, who depended on her for life. She was so sad that she cried so much that her eyes were damaged.

"It's Sakura and Rin." Old lady Yamashita smiled kindly, and the area around her face looked like toilet paper that had been crumpled into a ball and then spread out.

She only had one eye, but her hands and feet were nimble. She placed the fried tofu on the lotus leaf, poured soup on it, sprinkled it with chopped green onions, tied it tightly with a straw, and handed it to Yae Rin.

"Be careful, don't miss it halfway."

"Thank you, po... cough cough cough."

Halfway through his words, Lin couldn't help coughing again, and then smiled awkwardly.

"Thank you, grandma. I'm fine."

"This is not good. It's been half a month and it's still not healed. What if it turns into tuberculosis?"

Grandma Yamashita shook her head, then took out a small bag from her waist and handed it to Ying.

"There's a small piece of rhino horn in here, which my son left behind. Go back and grind it into water and give it to Lin to drink. It's good for the body and coughs. My granddaughter used to cough and she drank this and it healed immediately."

Rhinos are also dangerous beasts for experienced hunters. There are few rhinos and they only have one horn, so it is not easy for ordinary people to get them.

Yaezakura waved her hands: "This is too precious. We can't have it."

"The old woman is half buried in the ground. There is no point in keeping her. You, child, just take it if I give it to you."

Grandma Yamashita ignored their refusal and tied it around Yaezakura's waist. The two had no choice but to accept it.

………………

shrine.

The sisters' father, who was also the chief priest of the shrine, was busy with many affairs and never took care of his two daughters.

Whether it was when Yinglin's mother was alive or after she was castrated.

Yae Rin has also been taken care of by her sister Yae Sakura.

Therefore, for Yaesakura and Yae Rin, this so-called father is more like the shrine chief.

They don't seem like father and daughter, but more like relatives who are related by blood and live here.

Yaezakura boiled the medicine and gently fed it to her sister one spoonful at a time, but the effect of the medicine did not seem to be very good.

Ying gave Rin the rhino horn water that the old lady at the foot of the mountain had given her.

Immediately, Rin stopped coughing.

"Great, Lin has stopped coughing. Lie down and rest for a while."

Yaezakura was very happy. She quickly made the bed and let her sister lie down to sleep. Since Rin started coughing, she had trouble falling asleep. Even if she fell asleep, she would wake up from coughing. Now that she had a chance, she had to let her have a good sleep.

Because she was too tired, Yae Rin fell asleep quickly. Sakura stayed by her side and gradually lay down on the ground.

midnight.

"cough--!!!"

A violent cough sounded in the darkness.

Yaezakura woke up with a start and quickly turned on the light to check on her sister.

The pool of bright red blood on the white bed sheet almost made her heart stop.

In order not to worry her sister, Lin forced a smile: "Don't worry, sister, I'm fine."

Originally she said she didn't want her sister to know, but unfortunately that didn't happen.

Yae Sakura was even more heartbroken by her sister's understanding. She acted as if nothing had happened, wiped the blood clean, and comforted her sister to sleep.

Yaezakura covered her sister with the quilt again, walked out of the house silently, and came to the outside of the yard. There was no one around and it was dark. She could no longer hold back her tears, one by one, falling like pearls.

No matter how mature she is, she is just a seven-year-old child. Her mother is not around, her father doesn't care about her, and Rin is the person closest to her.

She didn't want her sister to lie in a coffin and be buried in the ground like her mother.

"Rin..." Yae Sakura covered her mouth and tried not to make any sound, but her sobs were still heard by Rin.

Lin did not fall asleep, but just lay in the quilt. At this time, hearing her sister sobbing, she could not help but shed tears secretly.

She buried her head in the quilt and sobbed softly.

"elder sister……"

Her sister Yaesakura is the person closest to her. She felt very sad when her sister cried for her.

Rin accepted her fate, but that didn't mean she really wanted to die.

If possible, she would like to be naughty like other children, stay with her sister forever, and witness her grow into an excellent witch.

………………

Yae Sakura found it difficult to calm down. When she thought of her sister's pitiful appearance, sadness was like a huge wave that hit her heart again and again and rushed out of her eyes.

Before she knew it, she had arrived at the shrine dedicated to the fox god.

Yaezakura knelt devoutly in front of the statue of the fox god and prayed.

She told the fox god about Rin's cuteness and beauty, and confided Rin's tragic experiences and the injustice of fate.

I hope the fox god will show mercy and save Rin's life because the Yae family has been worshipping him for three generations.

Yaezakura prayed to the fox god and begged him over and over again. After an unknown amount of time, she finally fell to the ground exhausted and fell into a deep sleep with traces of tears on her face.

Even so, the fox god did not show mercy.

During the follow-up visit, the pharmacist secretly told Sakura that given Rin's condition, she had at most three years left.

Ying walked out of the medicine soup with an extremely heavy heart. After returning, she was depressed and couldn't muster any energy at all.

But when I saw my sister's innocent smile and heard her comforting me, I felt even worse.

The love between her and her sister and her responsibility as an older sister forced her to stand up again.

Sakura let out an unwilling, hysterical roar:

I don't understand anything about fate. I just want Rin to live well. Is it really that difficult?

Is it too much for her to want to run around the streets and eat spicy fried tofu like an ordinary child?

Lin, sister will not let you die, sister will definitely heal you!

No matter where fate leads the future, Sakura decides to choose hope.

In the following days, Ying began to take active action. She asked passing merchants about medicines and asked the villagers and people around her about the more effective gods.

In Japan, at this time, and in little Yaesakura's cognition, God does exist, and this is what she was taught since childhood.

The evidence is that in this country, due to the lack of rivers, every village worships a rain god to ensure good weather and good harvests.

The one worshipped in Yae Village is the fox god, while others worship the cow god, horse god or some other god. In short, these so-called gods do make it rain.

After asking around, she actually found out some useful information.

This villager was the one Bai Ming saved at that time. Shikato Ka said to Yaezakura:

"Have you heard, White God?"
