Childhood Anime Grand Tour

Liu Yufei groggily opened his eyes, and a pretty face appeared before him. However, Liu Yufei didn't recognize who she was. Before, she was always someone like Dilraba or Yang Mi.

"Grandma, he's awake!!"

Liu Yufei closed his eyes, his mind still a little fuzzy, and a throbbing pain throbbed from the back of his head. Damn it, it felt like he'd been beaten up!

When she opened her eyes, the pretty young lady had turned into an old woman.

His eyes gleamed as he looked at Liu Yufei, and Liu Yufei's mind instantly cleared. He immediately shuddered and took a step back.

"What... what are you going to do?"

"Hehe, guest, you're awake!!"

"Where am I? Who are you?"

The old woman and the young woman next to her exchanged a glance, their eyes immediately filled with apology. The young woman also complained:

"How could you hit so hard! Really!!"

Liu Yufei shook his head. Jumping off a cliff, suicide, system, travel, time travel, what a mess.

Fortunately, after two minutes, Liu Yufei fully understood, and his eyes cleared. The old woman immediately realized what was going on.

"Guest, are you feeling better now?!"

"Ah! That's much better, thank you!!"

As Liu Yufei was about to get up, the young lady immediately blocked his way.

"You can't leave yet!!"

Liu Yufei immediately stopped moving. He wanted to leave, but where could he go now? Seeing this, he sat back down on the tatami mat. Only then did the old man speak:

"Guest, where are you from?!"

Liu Yufei knew he couldn't speak carelessly at this moment, so he immediately said:

"I came from across the sea, and I'm... a doctor!"

Keep in mind that this is still a primitive era. If Liu Yufei doesn't answer well, he will definitely be kept for dinner. Of course, dinner will be Liu Yufei himself.

The old man clearly didn't immediately believe Liu Yufei's words, but he still smiled and said:

"The Ming Dynasty! Haha, I visited when I was young. It was a peaceful time back then. Your emperor's name was Zhu something-or-other!"

"Zhu Qizhen..."

Liu Yufei clearly knew that the other party was testing him, so he immediately spoke up. In fact, he didn't know the specific timeline either, and could only use the information he knew to gain their trust.

Just then, two burly men rushed in carrying a person.

"High Priest, my brother has been bitten by a poisonous snake! Please take a look..."

The old man immediately stopped questioning and went over to check on the injured man's condition. He saw that the man's right leg was bruised and he was unconscious.

"It's that serious! Kaya! Quickly, go get some herbs..."

Primitive tribes and nature cooperate closely, so they are quite adept at this kind of thing. Seeing this, Liu Yufei knew his chance to shine had come, and immediately stepped forward and said:

"I'm a doctor, let me take a look..."

Upon hearing that Liu Yufei was a doctor, they did not immediately believe it, but Liu Yufei immediately pulled the two apart, looked at the black blood flowing from the wound, and immediately put his hand on the injured leg.

As Liu Yufei activated his ability, soft light emanated from his palm, and the bleeding wound began to heal slowly, while the dark bruises and toxins rapidly subsided.

Fortunately, his poisoning wasn't severe, so Liu Yufei didn't collapse from exhaustion. The two burly men were speechless with shock at the miraculous sight before them.

"Grandma, the medicine is here!!"

At that moment, the girl named Daya held herbs in one hand and a millstone in the other.

"grandmother..."

The old priestess stared blankly at everything before her. She was over ninety years old and had spent her life pretending to be a god. She had never believed in miracles, but now they were happening right before her eyes.

"grandmother!!"

"Oh!! Daya, here it is, quick..."

What's the rush! It's already done?

"Has the divine intervention occurred?"

In the end, the old priest could only mutter something, while Liu Yufei remained silent:

"Grandma, didn't I just say I'm a doctor?"

No one could believe it! This guy couldn't possibly be a doctor, could he? Wasn't he a sorcerer?

Just then, a young man rushed in from outside.

"Kaya, have any strangers come to the village today? The chieftain sent me to check!"

"Brother, you're back!!"

Ashitaka was carrying a longbow on his back, but no arrows were on his body. Although he was barefoot, the tight bandages could not hide the explosive power in his legs. His eyes were piercing, and even though Liu Yufei had not done anything wrong, he felt a little guilty under his gaze.

The "brother" Daya refers to doesn't mean an older brother, but rather because Ashitaka is her fiancé. For most people, that "brother" would melt their hearts.

Ashitaka glanced at Daya, then stared directly at Liu Yufei, while the two burly men carried their brother out.

Ashitaka is the young chieftain, responsible for guarding the village. He had just entered the outer edge of the forest and was only now returning.

Ashitaka, do not disturb the guest! How is the situation in the forest?!

Ashitaka then set his longbow aside, knelt down, and slowly said:

"High Priest, many more birds have disappeared from the forest, and the same is true in the north. The old man says something big might be about to happen."

Ashitaka's village is adept at coexisting with nature, so any movement in nature will be detected by the old men on the outer sentry posts. Because the village is wild and backward, it does not support idle people. Even the elderly are assigned some guard duties.

"Hmm! Is that so? The divination results are the same. It seems that even though we have been hiding here for a hundred years, we still cannot escape disaster!"

The high priest, undoubtedly the wisest man in the village, immediately realized that things were not simple. Seeing this, he was about to perform another divination, but upon seeing Liu Yufei, an outsider, he quickly said:

"Ashitaka, take the guest out for a walk..."

Liu Yufei had no interest in this and walked over to Ashitaka in a few steps.

"You're Ashitaka! I've heard so much about you!!"

As Liu Yufei spoke, he smiled, but Ashitaka looked at the person in front of him warily. How could he say such things as soon as they met? Are all outsiders so hypocritical?

What he didn't know was that Liu Yufei wasn't lying; he had genuinely admired Ashitaka for a long time.

Ashitaka, this is our translation. The original meaning is "flying bird," corresponding to the Asuka period in Japan, a time of great change.

The establishment of diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty marked a prosperous era, but times always pass, leaving only memories.

The story of Princess Mononoke is also known as Ashitaka's Tale or the Tale of the Birds, but when the old man finally decided to tell this story, after some discussions with friends, he ultimately decided to make Princess Mononoke the protagonist.

The Chinese version translates it as "Magic Princess," but clearly, neither "Ghost Princess" nor "Magic Princess" suits the story. Furthermore, the name "Ghost Princess" is too misleading, so I prefer to call her "Forest Princess"—okay, that's a bit of a lame name!
