Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

"Yes." The real-life Shadow thought so too.

Now she understands that beautiful moments should be enjoyed wholeheartedly. If you hold on too tightly, you will not only fail to hold on, but you will also miss out on the beauty because you are only thinking about 'grabbing' it.

Koyama lamented that he was getting old and would soon have to say goodbye to the general, as he would never see the general clean up the disaster and rebuild Inazuma again.

His regret was that he couldn't see the general rebuild Inazuma; he never doubted that the general could save Inazuma.

With the general gone, Inazuma is plunged into darkness, but as long as the general remains and the lightning continues, this darkness will eventually be illuminated.

Unfortunately, the 'unromantic old blind man' couldn't offer the general a cup of tea at that time.

[Gu Shan: "Oh dear, I'm sorry, I got confused. I've been rambling on and on without even serving the tea."]

Gushan wanted to pour tea for the traveler and the general, but couldn't find any tea utensils within reach.

The traveler and the photographer said they could help Koyama find tea utensils.

[Gu Shan: "General, you must go in person? Absolutely not! I am utterly terrified!"]

Kage, however, insisted on his own opinion. After all, Inazuma Koyama had no idea how someone who was blind could possibly find tea utensils.

Gu Shan couldn't refuse Ying: "This... alright. It turns out that one day, I have no choice but to ask the General to prepare tea for this old man..."

"Is it the final regret or the final stroke of luck? Haha."

Kage and Ying chose to borrow tea utensils from the Kamisato House because it was closer.

Hirano: "I'm a traveler."

The guards at the Kamisato-yashiki saw the firefly first, and then the shadow.

[Stuttering: "And... General!!"]

When he saw the general approaching, his eyes widened in surprise.

What's going on? A living general? Such a high-ranking general just appeared before my eyes?

Although he was a guard at the Kamisato Mansion, he had never actually seen the Shogun. After all, the Kage was a shut-in, and even if he needed to notify the magistrate, he would never come in person.

Ying said that there was no need to inform the head of the Kamisato family; they had only come to borrow a tea set.

[Shadow: "I'll leave the tea set to you."]

Although I don't know why the general came all this way to ask for tea sets, there must be a deeper meaning behind the general's actions, right?

Hirano: "How could I dare to complain about the hardship of the General's personal visit! I'll get right on it."

After Hirano left, Kage finally had a chance to talk to Hikari alone.

The traveler asked, "Is Gushan really brewing tea for Ying? The general he's talking about is quite different from Ying."

It's hard to imagine that a film would use a romantic perspective to tell stories about mountains and seas.

It would be much more reasonable to say that she was telling a story about how to split mountains and seas.

Ying also said that she rarely goes out for tea and spends most of her free time practicing martial arts.

Gushan spends most of his time making tea for Ying's older sister, Raiden Shin.

However, Gu Shan was aware of the two generals' affair, but he pretended to be completely unaware of it.

All that Koyama said before was about Kage's sister, Raiden Makoto's thoughts.

[The scene depicts: "In her eyes, the most precious thing in the world is 'dreams'—the yearning for a better future."]

[“When you entered the ‘Pure Land of One Heart,’ I saw countless stars symbolizing wishes lit up in the sky from afar, and my heart wavered slightly.”]

"In hindsight, she was right, and I went astray."

Readers then realized that it wasn't the traveler who 'won' against Lei's film, but rather that Lei's film had already 'lost' from the very beginning.

At that moment, she saw the 'dream' that her sister had described, and she wavered.

Dreams and wishes are different. Wishes are mostly about some practical goal or material thing, while dreams are the driving force that brings wishes into existence.

The two were discussing eternity when Hirano brought the tea set. After receiving the tea set, everyone prepared to return to Koyama's side.

Hirano: "Take care, General. Take care, traveler. And this one... uh... anyway, please take care too."

Paimon was furious. He had been with the Traveler the whole time, so why hadn't they remembered him?

When you return, you must tell everyone in the shrine that your name is Paimon.

Chapter 306 Who is the one being protected?

Putting aside Paimon's complaints, the three of them have already returned to Gushan's side in the story.

However, the ancient mountain that originally stood there had disappeared, and in the end, he was unable to obtain the tea set that the general had personally prepared for him. It seems that this was not luck, but regret.

It wasn't just a regret for him, but also for Ying, who ultimately couldn't taste that familiar yet strange flavor.

In reality, Ying unconsciously pursed her lips, just like her own realization in the story. Perhaps this is the 'encounter' and 'loss' that comes with moving forward.

It's a pity, but if we don't move forward, we won't even have this moment of 'fate' left.

The shadow in the story was also reminded of her memories and decided to make tea for the traveler herself.

Fortunately, Ying only couldn't cook, but she learned to make tea quite well, and didn't poison the traveler.

While brewing tea, Lei recalled many things and shared them with the traveler.

Fox Palace, Raiden Shin, and many of my friends—most of them perished in that disaster.

To protect her, her sister secretly went to Kanria alone, and when she arrived, Raiden was already on the verge of death.

The two sisters' last meeting was in the Pure Land of One Heart, which was the Pure Land of One Heart of the older sister.

Ying was crying very sadly inside. She was a goddess, and perhaps this was the only place she could cry.

When she returned to Inazuma with her sister's consciousness, she discovered a giant 'Divine Cherry Tree' on Mount Kagehiko.

This truly surprised everyone, whether they were ordinary readers, followers, or even members of the Fox Palace.

Yae no Miko is alright; Kage had asked her about the Divine Cherry Tree before.

In people's hearts, the sacred cherry tree is the sacred tree that has always existed in Inazuma, so how could it suddenly appear?

I didn't realize you were such a secretive girl, Lei Movie.

No, that's not right. It's not that she can keep things to herself; she just has no one to talk to, right? She did tell Yae no Miko about this.

As expected of someone from the Raiden family, they still speak up when they need to.

After the incident, Ying didn't want to bring up these things again because they were closely related to parting, and she didn't want to recall them.

But now that it's written down, she feels relieved. Lin Qiu was practically her mouthpiece, even though it was still her mouth that spoke.

Without Lin Qiu, the process of changing his mind would have been quite complicated.

Just as described in the book, in her memory, the divine tree did indeed appear suddenly.

Ying simply considered it a 'magical function' of the consciousness space; after all, the divine cherry blossom did indeed help Ying quell the monster disaster.

[The film remarked: "Bitter tea goes down the throat, but there's a sweet aftertaste."]

I don't know if she was really talking about tea or memories, or perhaps both, since taste always carries memories.

Let us not dwell on old friends and past feelings, but instead use the newly kindled fire to brew new tea.

"...It's time to face all of this."

Seeing that Ying had opened up about her memories of the disaster, Ying and Paimon took the opportunity to ask about the disaster, such as whether she had seen the traveler's brother.

Unfortunately, by the time Yingbao arrived, the battle was almost over, and she saw nothing and knew nothing.

He then rushed back to Inazuma and didn't have time to take a closer look at Canria.

Although it was regrettable, Ying could understand and stopped dwelling on it. Together with Ying, they offered a final cup of tea to Koyama.

Lei Yingdian placed the tea aside, saying, "Thank you, fate, for giving us the chance to meet again."

So, we really have to move forward, otherwise we won't have the chance to meet again.

Ying and Ying continued forward, tracking down the remaining monsters; only this last monster remained.

As usual, Shadow took on the responsibility of fighting, since that was what she knew best.

At first, things were fine, but as the fight progressed, Shadow's movements became increasingly strange. Several times, Shadow suddenly stopped moving, allowing the monster to escape its blade, and Shadow was even ambushed.

Fortunately, Ying's body is characterized by its toughness and resilience. She not only has inexhaustible strength, but also an indestructible hide.

The monster's attacks had little effect on Shadow, so even though there were a few 'lags', he was not seriously injured.

Moreover, Shadow's combat prowess was ridiculously high; he quickly subdued the monster, making it hesitant to attack.

However, even though Shadow said it was nothing, Ying and Paimon noticed the problem because Shadow's movements were so stiff and jerky.

Readers had already anticipated this, knowing that the general wasn't trying to conserve energy; there must be a health problem.

Does reading too many prophecy books mean we can actually make prophecies ourselves?

Paimon: "It's alright, you should rest in the back and recover your strength!"

"Let's deal with the monsters!"

When she said "we," she was naturally referring to the traveler alone.

Paimon is good at cheering people on, but if you asked her to actually fight, she wouldn't even be a match for the dogs on the other side.

Fortunately, the monsters were wary of the cheesy movie and didn't dare to move around, so Paimon didn't get bitten on the butt by the dogs even though he was flying around.

Just as the traveler drew his sword and was about to step forward, the familiar light appeared again, and the figures of three warriors appeared in front of them.

This sudden turn of events made the monsters even more hesitant to make any rash moves, baring their teeth and staring at this side.

Fujiki: "W-Where am I?"

"General, you're here too! General, are you injured?"

Fujiki immediately noticed that something was wrong with the shadow. After all, everyone's movements were smooth in reality, but yours were 'dropping frames,' which was indeed quite strange.

"We, the samurai of the Shogunate, will protect the Shogun to the very end!"

Three warriors drew their swords and stood in front of Lei Yingdong, even though Lei Yingdong was much stronger than them.

They knew they were no match for the monster that might have injured the general, but they never considered fleeing.

Because if you're afraid, you wouldn't pick up a weapon in the first place.

Our power and identity were bestowed upon us by the General; this is her expectation of us.

Now that the General is in dire straits, it is time to fulfill our promise!

Brothers, draw your swords! Brothers, fight alongside me!

The eternal way is vast, and the resounding spirit is eternal!

What followed was a series of scenes where, unlike the previous shogunate soldiers, these samurai charged headlong into monsters that outnumbered them several times over.

Their swords never stopped, and they were constantly on guard to protect the general, the strongest being on the field, even in the face of the monsters' attacks.

In this fierce battle, Lei Yingdian simply stood aside; this was the first time she had not personally participated in the fight.

From the perspective of an 'outsider', she experienced the perspective of a 'protected person'.

Chapter 307 The Shadow!

This wasn't the first time she'd been protected. Yes, my sister has always been protecting me...

I'm clearly stronger than her, but she's always the one protecting me...

Just like right now, even though I am stronger, why are you all protecting me so desperately, even ignoring your own safety?

So that's how it is. It turns out that the desire to protect someone has nothing to do with physical strength...

Ying was unaware that her sister felt the same way, truly believing that Ying had always been protecting her.

[Video: "Thank you..."]

At this moment, Ying seemed to realize that he was not the god who would bravely protect everyone.
