The twinkling stars are not dazzling, but their abundance makes them stand out. These lights fly into the sky like Kongming lanterns carrying wishes.

Seeing this scene in the illustration, people's tears flowed.

It was such a beautiful scene, so romantic and heartwarming, that we should have been happy.

But for some reason, I felt a mix of emotions, and my tears welled up with emotion.

The light of each star in the picture represents the people praying at this moment, and the 'Secret Technique of Miss Fox' taught by Yae no Miko is this passage of guidance.

The people of Inatsuma believe that this can grant wishes, so when they recite this phrase, their 'wishes' transform into light and fly to the place of blessing.

When the people in the story saw this scene, even those who initially didn't believe it began to silently recite it.

[“A statement to Bai Chen, explaining the reason for suppressing the soul.”]

[“Allow me to offer my blessings, and guide the lamp homeward.”]

"Awe-inspiring divine power..."

【“Feeling extremely apprehensive”】

People's 'wishes' transformed into guiding lights, leading the monsters down their final path.

These are the lights of farewell, but also the beacon of welcome, welcoming the return of the monsters.

This was the farewell gift that Yae no Miko prepared for them.

This is a gift she carefully prepared for her old friends, even though she hates trouble the most.

[Yae no Miko looked up: "Yurakuzai, you asked me before how I was doing."]

"I'm really happy every day. It's just..."

"Watching you all leave now, I still feel a little lonely."

【"Um......"】

[Yae no Miko lowered her eyes and said, "It's only a little bit."]

These words, spoken without lifting their heads, seemed to be directed at themselves.

Readers truly couldn't bear to see the dejected Yae no Miko.

The contrast between someone who is always smiling and someone who suddenly becomes dejected is heartbreaking.

Just like back at the statue in Mondstadt, the usually cheerful Venti suddenly lowered his voice and spoke of his old friend.

This scene is just like what Fox Palace once said: "The autumn moon I saw last year is still bright tonight—but the person I saw it with is now forever separated by time."

The real-life Yae no Kami is a bit vulnerable. Too many things have happened recently, and with so many layers of vulnerability, it's hard not to break down.

First, Fox Palace returned, and then I saw Yurakusai in the story. Even with Yae no Miko's mindset, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the great Miss Fox is very good at hiding her emotions; at least others can't tell what she's feeling.

Of course, foxes weren't among the "others." Fox Palace lamented, "The autumn night's long sky has its name; a single glance is enough before dawn breaks."

Yes, it was only a brief meeting with an old friend before it was time to say goodbye.

Yae no Miko didn't want to express her own emotions, but Kosai-gumi didn't mind expressing them for her.

"A short song...not bad at all." Ying nodded silently.

She was actually a little vulnerable, but she was even more stubborn than Yae no Miko.

And as I said before, as long as she keeps a blank expression, no one will know what she's thinking.

Unbeknownst to them, Lin Qiu's system had already exposed everything.

How can one not feel heartbroken when reuniting with friends after a long separation only to part again?

Hu Tao can probably understand this feeling best, because she often experiences it.

At first, she also had such regrets. She wanted to make up for it, to see her grandfather one last time, and to say goodbye one last time.

But she didn't see him; in that place, she didn't see the person she wanted to see.

At first, she was disappointed and even cried. She waited and waited for that figure to appear.

"If such an opportunity really comes, seize it! Make sure you express your thoughts clearly without any regrets, because... it's a rare miracle."

Chapter 288 The Sound in the Wind

But Hu Tao waited and waited, and waited, but she never saw him again.

Doesn't Grandpa miss her? Doesn't he feel regret?

No, Grandpa believed in her. He believed she could handle her emotions, manage the funeral home, and resolve all her regrets.

So she stopped crying. She understood. In order not to leave any regrets, she decided to leave that place with 'regret' in tow.

She witnessed too many such regrets when she went to the other world. So many people were waiting for someone in the other world, and even forgot who they were waiting for.

"I am filled with awe and fear of divine might," Hu Tao murmured with her eyes closed.

She respects the 'farewell culture' of different countries and is naturally willing to follow local customs and give a 'farewell', even though this farewell has probably not actually happened yet.

At the end of the story of Yae no Miko, things came to a satisfactory conclusion, and Yae no Miko treated the traveler to a meal as a token of her gratitude.

It was just that Yae no Kamiko treated everyone, and Yingmei paid the bill.

At the dinner party, Yae no Miko addressed the traveler as 'teacher' and instructed him to update the latest chapter on time.

She also took the opportunity to complain about the stubborn Ying, who had actually written such a long letter to scold her, saying that she had gone too far.

Yae no Miko really caused quite a stir this time. The people all witnessed the miraculous scene that night, but the incantation was fake, and it was difficult to explain in the end.

But now that we have Lin Qiu’s prophecy book, there is no problem. The cause and effect are explained clearly. People are moved to tears. They don’t care whether the spell can fulfill their wishes.

This story touched many people because we all grow up amidst regrets.

Especially for people like Wendy and Zhongli who have lived a long life, how many old friends have they said goodbye to?

Zhongli was at that moment gathering with several immortals in the mountains. After reading this passage, his gaze swept over Xiao.

Zhongli can disregard his own emotions because he can suppress them, but he cannot ignore the emotions of others.

Zhongli happened to see a red flower in her line of sight. After thinking for a moment, Zhongli said, "This year's flower is more beautiful than last year's, but it's a pity that next year's flower will be even better. Who will I share it with?"

The flowers were in bloom, so beautiful, but unfortunately, the moment I saw them bloom, they were already withering.

Where is the person who once shared this view with me? How could he have withered even faster than a flower…

In fact, the people who were "appreciating flowers" with Zhongli back then were Guizhong, Ruotuo, Guoba, and others.

Now that Guizhong has returned, Guoba is still here, and Ruotuo is not dead, Zhongli said this mainly to appease Xiao.

“Your Majesty…I…” Xiao 'understood' Zhongli’s meaning and spoke.

He didn't say it explicitly, but what he meant was that I was willing to accompany him.

"Would you like to join me for the Lantern Festival this year?" Zhongli asked with a slight smile.

Xiao nodded, thinking that this would successfully appease the Emperor's emotions.

The immortals were all cultured people...cultured creatures, so they could naturally understand the Emperor's meaning and intentions.

Cultured people speak differently; someone like Yingbao would just say "That's really good."

Zhongli comforted Xiao, but he himself was also emotional, and he couldn't help but think of his future encounter with Ruo Tuo again.

A brief encounter, followed by another separation. When you watched the other person leave, did you feel a little lonely? Or just a 'little' one?

Alas, even rocks can have hearts... how can I possibly escape...?

Gui Zhong looked at Zhongli and then at Xiao, his face full of smiles, and casually took out a small toy.

It's a building block set, based on the Five Yakshas, ​​and inspired by Lin Qiu.

She didn't have a chance to say goodbye to them back then, but thankfully Lin Qiu's appearance meant they didn't have to say goodbye anymore.

It wasn't just the rocks that were affected; even the wind was the same. In Mondstadt, Wendy was also "drinking to drown his sorrows, but only making them worse," taking one sip of wine after another.

A chance to say goodbye properly to friends...how wonderful! Will I ever have that opportunity?

He had helped Hans and his friends say goodbye, but how could Wendy say goodbye to her old friends herself?

Kaeya and Diluc exchanged a glance, and unusually, they didn't argue or bicker.

Both of them are people with high emotional intelligence, but one loves to have fun while the other appears indifferent.

With their emotional intelligence, they could naturally see Wendy's mood at that moment.

Kaya silently pushed her glass towards Wendy, and Rosalia followed suit.

Seeing this, the other people in the tavern also brought their glasses, bringing together almost all the glasses in the tavern in front of Wendy's table.

Wendy stared blankly at the scene before her, then quickly put on her usual smile.

The wind picked up again in the tavern, carrying the smell of alcohol, but without the 'sorrow'.

Sure enough, this is Mondstadt. They light lanterns to guide us home, while we drink wine.

“This much wine is enough to buy a good story.” Wendy took out her violin.

The noisy tavern fell silent instantly as Wendy strummed her guitar, the music echoing throughout the tavern.

"Once upon a time, a free spirit in the wind met a young boy..."

The boy said, "I want to see birds soaring in the sky."

"Friend, won't you come with me?"

"That was a sound that even the howling wind couldn't mask..."

"That is a sound that has remained in the wind for thousands of years."

"And the wind gave the boy the answer—the song of rebellion will rise in the wind!"

A gentle breeze swept through the tavern, carrying music that reached the ears of the people. Besides Wendy's voice, there seemed to be a boy's voice in the wind.

"Friend, won't you come with me?"

Just as Wendy said, even after thousands of years, his voice still lingers in the wind.

The voice was full of anticipation and enthusiasm, inspiring longing in people.

The music carried a sense of nostalgia, reluctance, and a touch of expectation.

The boy left behind a legacy in this world. Was it a person? Was it an object? Neither.

What he left behind is the wind that is omnipresent in the world, the free will that the wind blows, and the 'bugle call' of resistance that the wind blows.

The boy who never stepped out of the wind wall is now traveling the world with the wind.

Wind, please bring more stories to the boy.

Where there is wind, there are stories. Freedom and rebellion are not only found in Mondstadt, but also in Inazuma.

Ray's films restricted the freedom of his people, so they rebelled, just like Decalapian did back then.

Similarly, just like Dekalapian, the god chose to 'surrender' in the face of his people's rebellious will.

From the beginning, the gods never intended to oppose their people; it's just that the demon gods ultimately couldn't understand humanity.

But the feelings of both sides are mutual. For example, this time, the demon god and the human were both feeling sad.
