Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

When the divine child left, he took Paimon with him. Paimon glanced back at the two of them, and then followed the divine child away from the place.

Chizuru and Hotaru arrived at a large rock on the beach. Chizuru stood in front, and Hotaru stood beside her.

"Phew... This is fine, thank you for coming with me."

"it's okay no problem."

"Actually, I was very happy when I first realized that I had turned into a human. I am a yokai transformed from Hagoita, a yokai born in a festival, and I have always loved excitement."

Chizuru found a suitable spot to sit down, let out a long breath, raised her head, and said:

“I want to participate in the festival, I want to make friends with humans, and I want to play the Akitsu games with others. But when the night is quiet, I think of the old samurai’s bitter smile when he put down the harpsichord, and I think of the lonely Kamai-san’s sigh as he drank.”

"Then I would think, if I made friends with a human, would that person also show the same sad expression in the future? So I felt that I couldn't do that. I told myself that I absolutely couldn't do that, and I couldn't repeat the same tragedy."

Ying sat down next to Chizuru, looked at her, and said gently, "I understand."

Yes, Ying understands, but the meaning of life lies in meeting different people and going against one's own heart, which would be very difficult...

Ying's gentle words warmed Chizuru's heart.

"I'm sorry, I kept speaking in languages ​​you couldn't understand when we first met, which startled you, didn't it? I thought you would be scared away, but you acted like nothing happened when we met the second time."

"I know you mistook me for one of the little monsters, but I didn't point it out. Instead, I played Akitsu Amusement Park with you—"

Ying asked, "Why?"

Chizuru: "Hmm... I'm not entirely sure myself. Maybe it's because I've always wanted to be like Mr. Kamai, playing a game of Akitsu with humans. Maybe it's because I know my time is running out and I don't want to leave this world alone..."

Chizuru turned her head to face Ying. Chizuru looked beautiful from this angle. The flower in her left eye looked strange before, but after learning Chizuru's identity, the flower added a lot to her beauty.

"Anyway, thank you for playing with me. At Akitsu Amusement Park, Paimon said that the winner can grant the loser one of their wishes."

“I said back then that my wish was for you not to appear in front of me, but you still came looking for me, and my wish wasn’t fulfilled. So… can I make a new wish?”

Ying smiled and said, "Of course, as long as I can do it."

"Let me think. [I hope you remember me]... Never mind, if I can only make one wish, I'd rather not make this one."

Chizuru stood up and said solemnly:

"Listen carefully, my wish is—"

"I hope your journey ahead will be as joyful as a celebration every day."

Fireworks prepared for the celebration also went off at this time, and under the beautiful fireworks, Chizuru made a heartfelt blessing to Hotaru.

Then, she slowly disappeared before Ying's eyes...

……

The world of players.

Chizuru, I will remember that you were here.

I'm crying so hard.

This place is so beautiful!

Ms. Hanyu is such a kind person.

What's wrong with miHoYo? They've hurt me again!

[The background music here is amazing! miHy is truly a musical genius!]

【…】

……

Ying gazed at the distant night sky, the evening breeze ruffling her hair and robes.

Another friend has left...

Ying's expression was very sad. No matter how many times she had been through it, the departure of a friend was always the hardest to accept.

"fluorescent!"

It sounds like Paimon's voice.

Ying walked towards the direction of the celebration and saw from a distance that Paimon was holding someone's hand and walking towards them.

Ying looked closely and realized that the person being pulled by Paimon was Chu Xi, whom they had been looking for for a long time!

Paimon: "Ying, look! I've found Chu Xi!"

The little one was very excited; she had just accidentally bumped into the other person.

Chapter 247 needs to be fully read.

Ying ran over quickly and stood in front of Chu Xi.

Ying's breathing was a little rapid, and her face was flushed for some reason; she must be angry...

Ying was indeed a little angry, angry that Chu Xi had left without saying goodbye.

She and Paimon searched many places and spent a lot of time, constantly worried.

Finding Chu Xi wasn't just because of Cyria's final request; the most important reason was that Chu Xi was also a good friend of hers and Paimon's, and absolutely nothing could happen to her!

In Chu Xi's memory, Ying rarely got angry; most of the time she was very composed.

But now, Ying seems genuinely angry…

Chu Xi felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look into Ying's eyes.

Where did you go during this time?

"I…"

Chu Xi didn't know how to say it. She couldn't talk about Aya, and even now she wasn't sure if Ying still remembered Aya.

If Ying doesn't remember, there's no point in revealing where she's been all this time.

Ying stared at Chu Xi, who didn't dare to look directly into Ying's eyes.

She turned her head slightly, sighed, and asked, "Ying, do you remember who saved Xumi?"

Before Ying could speak, Paimon interrupted:

"It was us and Nasita. We saved the Great Tree King together. Is there a problem?"

Paimon's answer was clearly not what Chu Xi wanted to hear. She looked at Ying, waiting for Ying's reply.

Ying's pupils dilated violently, showing surprise.

She could tell from Chu Xi's eyes that Chu Xi... seemed not to have forgotten Celia!

But... how is that possible?!

Chu Xi is clearly a native Teyvat. Even Nasita and the Great Tree King have forgotten about Cyria. How could Chu Xi still remember her?

Chu Xi noticed Ying's behavior. Although she had suspected this before, it was just a guess.

Now Chu Xi is certain that Ying also remembers Aya, just like she does!

Chu Xi stepped forward, speaking in a language Paimon couldn't understand.

"Ying, you still remember her, right? You still remember her, don't you?!"

Chu Xi was somewhat agitated, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She wasn't the only one in this world who remembered Aya; Ying remembered her too!

Aya's sacrifice was not unnoticed; at least her good friend and Ying, a witness, remember it!

Ying put her hand on Chu Xi's shoulder. Seeing Chu Xi like this, she felt a little sorry for her.

Chu Xi has already suffered enough; first her entire family was murdered, and now she has lost her best friend…

Ying's anger had subsided; facing Chu Xi like this, she couldn't muster any anger at all...

It seems that Chu Xi's disappearance was also because of Cyria...

Ying still had many questions in her mind, such as why Chu Xi remembered Cilia? Where did she go during the time she was missing? Was she investigating the Eye of the Grass Element? And why has she come to Inazuma now?

However, now is not the time to ask these questions. Chu Xi is feeling very down and needs their comfort.

Ying gently hugged Chu Xi. Chu Xi was a little taller than Ying, so she bent over slightly and rested her head on Ying's shoulder, her shoulder twitching.

Chu Xi had a very difficult time away from Ying and the others. The hardships of living outdoors were minor compared to the mental anguish she endured.

Her best friend left her by being deleted from the World Tree, and she went alone to find the truth and a solution.

Looking around, all was blank; there was not a single clue, nor any gain whatsoever.

Traveling alone can be lonely, especially for someone like Chu Xi.

Ying gently patted Chu Xi's back and said tenderly:

"Chu Xi, don't be afraid, you still have us. Paimon and I are your best partners!"

Although Paimon was completely confused, seeing Chu Xi so heartbroken, she flew over and patted Chu Xi's forehead.

"Don't be afraid, Paimon is here. If anyone dares to bully you, Paimon... Paimon... Ying will definitely go and settle the score with them. We will all stand up for you!"

Paimon nuzzled Chu Xi's shoulder with her head; she remembered that Chu Xi loved to touch her head.

Chu Xi, who was not in any particular state before, burst into tears after being comforted by Ying and Paimon.

It wasn't actually that sad...

……

In the live broadcast room.

[Waaaaah, I've finally found my Chu Xi...]

[Chu Xi has lost a lot of weight; she definitely hasn't been eating well. Luckily, Yun Ling is here now, so she can make sure she gets some nourishment!]

Why does Chu Xi remember Cilia?!

She is so pretty!

I'm still a little worried; it seems like the Doctor is targeting Chu Xi.

……

The final stage of the celebration.

Yunling walked over, carrying a large serving of ice cream and eating it as she went.

The celebration was almost over, and the boss and the others were packing up. Yunling had been busy all afternoon and definitely needed to rest.

The large portion of ice cream in her hand was something she had specifically asked Ying and Paimon to save for her.

No matter what, we can't let the chef suffer, right?

Hearing from the Divine Child that Ying and Paimon were over here, she came over to take a look.

Today, Yunling plans to rest at Ying's Dust Song Pot, where she also has a room. She has only been there twice so far.

As she got closer, Yunling saw Chu Xi crying her heart out while hugging Ying, and Paimon flying around offering words of comfort.

With a sense of doubt, Yun Ling walked over.

Yun Ling's footsteps were very light, and Chu Xi saw her when she leaned her little head closer.

Chu Xi released Ying and sniffed.

Yun Ling felt somewhat embarrassed; she suddenly realized she shouldn't have been here at this time…

"Hey, don't be sad, I have some delicious ice cream here, if you don't mind..."

"I don't mind it."

Chu Xi took the ice cream from Yun Ling's hand, scooped out a small spoonful with the spoon Yun Ling had used, and put it in her mouth.

The sweet taste dispelled Chu Xi's sadness, and she began to feel ashamed of her behavior just now.

This grown-up is still crying on Ying's shoulder, and Little Paimon and the little boss saw it...

Woo woo woo...

Chu Xi scooped out another spoonful and put it in her mouth before handing the ice cream to Yun Ling: "Excuse me, um, if you don't mind..."

Yun Ling: "I don't mind."
