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

Yes, why? We failed to protect Qinglai Island, we failed to protect the Asase family's ancestral shrine, and we couldn't even say we protected Ako Hyakume.

Hibiki Asase, look at what you've been protecting!

Not only was Qinglai Island gone, but the Big Meatball was also gone; it was destroyed by that thunderstorm.

The wooden sword we just saw was made from the material from the broken meatball, and it was modeled after the sword in the wind demon puppet's hand, only smaller.

From the words of the big meatball, everyone learned that the puppet from before was actually brought by the Akago Hyakume, which solved the mystery left over from the last island story.

No wonder there are Inazuma puppets on such a remote island; they were brought by the Inazuma people.

After finding this fragment, all that the big meatball could sense was the last fragment.

Upon closer inspection, the last fragment was found inside a conch shell house.

The last fragment was crafted into a xylophone, which the traveler struck twice, seemingly without damage.

However, because it hadn't been maintained for a long time, some of the wooden blocks made a dull sound.

As a musical instrument, this is already considered 'damaged'.

Chapter 465 Koshimaru (gift plus more)

The traveler returned to the giant meatball with the musical instrument. The giant meatball was quite happy that its body had been turned into a musical instrument, because it loved musical instruments.

When it used to go on adventures with its companions and they would stop at the edge of the island, they would gather around the campfire and play their instruments, which reminded it of those memories.

The traveler struck the intact part of the xylophone, and the sound stirred up some memories.

The scene shows a group of people with bitterness and reluctance on their faces, and some of them are even shedding tears.

They were the Big Meatball's companions, but now they had no choice but to leave Big Meatball here, as Big Meatball's ship was severely damaged and could no longer sail.

"Don't cry! How can we say goodbye to it while crying!"

One of them started singing, and while singing, a happy smile appeared on his face.

The crowd linked arms, danced, and sang the 'Last Song,' with smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.

Xin Yan once said that music is about expressing emotions, so even when people are singing cheerful songs, the atmosphere of the music is still sad.

Sing, laugh, and send it off as if you were celebrating its first time in the water.

The giant meatball saved them, managing to get them to an island where they could anchor despite the extreme damage.

But they couldn't save Big Meatball; they could go back, but Big Meatball couldn't.

For the rest of their journey, they were missing a companion—a companion who couldn't speak, couldn't laugh or sing with them.

A partner who saved them all.

[Big Meatball sighed, "If only I could go back with them! I'd go anywhere, no matter how dangerous, just to be with them..."]

"There are still so many great adventures in this world that I haven't experienced yet..."

"How did I end up here, left behind them, watching them embark on new adventures while I couldn't go with them..."

The more this monologue was told, the more relatable it became, and the reader secretly thought, "This is bad news."

It was a little upsetting, not because the plot was particularly tear-jerking, but because I felt something called 'romance'.

The romance of men is tinged with regret, and that's what makes readers feel bad.

Even knowing the ending, using flashbacks is just unavoidable!

Beidou was the one who understood best, and she couldn't help but think of the Death Star, her heart filled with emotion.

My old friend, do you also have consciousness? Are you watching us laugh?

If you're really conscious...would you like to have a drink?

The story is not over yet. The story of the giant meatball and the pirate ends here. The story of the giant meatball and the traveler will follow.

The traveler returned to see the big meatball several days later. The big meatball told the traveler that, for some reason, it was sleeping more and being awake less.

Readers have probably guessed the reason: it's because the travelers and others shut down the device during this time, and the 'dream' they created is about to disappear.

The giant meatball's body had long since disappeared; it was a miracle that it could still speak while possessing the ship.

The preceding part is a flashback, and what follows is a prelude. Readers have already guessed that something bad is going to happen, but they still can't help but want to read on.

Qiu Cheng, if you're not going to act anymore, then we'll be frank: we really love watching!

There's no way to avoid it; no matter how hard you try, you can't escape it!

It seems like it's time to say goodbye. Judging by how things have developed, it looks like it's time to say goodbye.

Then let's say goodbye properly. A farewell between 'men of the sea' is without tears, isn't it?

The big meatball was already very satisfied; being able to talk to the traveler felt like a dream come true.

The regret of not being able to communicate with companions was somewhat satisfied by the traveler.

However, the giant meatball had one last wish: to take the traveler to a certain place.

There must be treasure there, the giant meatball assured the traveler.

[Big Meatball: "Just consider it another time I've tricked you, come with me!"]

The big meatball might not be able to speak again at any time, and Paimon was quite reluctant to part with it, so naturally he wouldn't refuse the request.

Paimon in real life was deeply saddened, and her sadness was different from that of her character in the story.

In the story, she is experiencing the pain of impending separation, while in reality, Paimon feels the pain of that pain, though she is unable to truly 'connect' with it.

They could only look at Lin Qiu pitifully, hoping that Doraemon Qiu would have a solution.

Lin Qiu was also helpless; whether there was a solution or not depended on Naxida.

Even if Nasita had a way, it would probably only be 'regional'; Nasita couldn't make her dreams affect the whole world.

In the end, it might become a giant meatball that can only 'awaken' and speak in specific areas, while in other areas it will revert to a normal drifting ship, but isn't that great?

Back to the story, in the story, the giant meatball carries the travelers, Paimon sails on the sea, and chats with them.

As they chatted, a thick fog rolled in, and several lights appeared on the water.

These lanterns, like Inazuma's "fish lanterns," gave the big meatball a feeling of coming home.

Following the light, they sailed around monsters and large ships. As they sailed further, the large ships disappeared, leaving only shipwrecks all around. The giant meatball sailed among the many wrecks.

The giant meatball tried its best to ignore the fact that it had mentioned "fishing catch" in its conversation with the traveler. It was the grappling hook that the Hundred-Eyed Demon of Ako had used, and it was now on the traveler's person.

[Big Meatball: "I really miss him. He must still be chasing his dreams at sea."]

The story of the Hundred-Eyed Demon of Ako that Big Meatball mentioned dates back a hundred years.

Furthermore, after returning to Seirai Island, Akaho Hyakume did not find Asase Hibiki, and did not go on any more adventures as a pirate.

So, what exactly have you been protecting, Hibiki Asase?!

Even the dormitory and the Hundred-Eyed Demon couldn't be protected! They were still waiting for you, looking for you.

[Big Meatball: "I have two things to tell you. The first is that I actually remembered my name a long time ago..."]

"The shrine maiden of Asase Hibiki named me 'Koshiishimaru.'"

The name comes from the village of Koshiki, and Maru means "returning home".

The starting point of the round ball is also its destination, which is also a way of hoping that no matter how far it travels, it can carry everyone safely back to Yueshi Village.

Speaking of this big meatball, it felt quite guilty because it felt it had let everyone down.

It's all because it wasn't sturdy enough; it couldn't withstand the thunderstorm and couldn't carry everyone back safely.

But readers who have seen that scene naturally wouldn't think it was the big meatball's fault; it was already a miracle that they were able to get everyone to the island during such a thunderstorm.

Unless you're riding a thunderbolt, no ship can claim to be able to cross safely.

Character Voice Lines - General Thunder: About Qinglai Island

"Pirates rebelling against the shogunate, is that loyalty? Why? Since you rebel, you must face the consequences. I'll slay you..."

"...Shadow, don't pinch my nose. I'm reflecting on my actions."

Chapter 466 Parting is for Reunion

Just as I was thinking about riding a thunderstorm across a movie, the scene on the sea changed again. Lightning flashed and thunderstorms appeared all around, just like the day the accident happened.

Hurry! Go to Inazuma Castle and summon General Raiden!

The reader has figured it out: this sea area is Big Meatball's 'dream', and changes are happening here. Could it be Big Meatball's 'life experience'?

Well, besides the four main characters, there's a hidden protagonist here, who also has his own 'dream'.

Without a doubt, only one person could do this with all the illusionary devices turned off, and that was Badminton Nasita!

She was indeed a kind deity. Although she never appeared in person, she was always watching over the traveler and silently helping him.

Currently, apart from those in the know, only Dina Zede immediately realized this.

Lord Little Lucky Grass, you're still the same as before.

"Huh? Why are you crying!?" Dixia was startled and reached out to wipe away Dina Zede's tears.

Why are you crying? Where are we now? Is there a tearful moment in this story? I haven't finished reading it yet.

"It's nothing, it's not because I'm sad," Dina Zede said with a smile through her tears.

This made Dixia even more curious. Which part of the story had moved the young lady so much?

Judging from the young lady's personality and experience... it seems like anything is possible!

He admired Wan Ye's freedom, admired Xin Yan's enthusiasm, yearned for Fischl's unconventional ways, and was inspired by Mona's insightful understanding of life.

Oh no, did I buy a landmine this time?

I cried when I read Wendy's story before, and at that time I didn't want to buy it anymore, but I couldn't persuade Wendy.

If she wasn't allowed to buy it, she would go and buy it herself, so Dixia had no choice but to go along with it.

Dixia couldn't guess the reason, so she decided to keep watching to see if there would be any more shocking tear-jerking moments later.

In the illustration, the giant meatball is facing a thunderstorm, and with Paimon's encouragement, it regains its pride.

"The clear, rustling wood forms my bones, and the shrine maiden of Asase bestowed upon me a name!"

Sail forward! Through the thunderstorm! Safely deliver your companions! This is the pride of a ship!

This time, the giant meatball succeeded. It crossed the thunderstorm and arrived at the 'Great Treasure', safely bringing its companion ashore.

Naxida smiled, "Dreams are for realizing 'dreams'."

The location of the 'Great Treasure' is actually the location of the first 'fragment' we found before.

The last time the traveler came, he didn't find any treasure, only the broken wreckage of the giant meatball's ship.

The giant meatball urged the travelers to go to the island to search, for there must be treasure this time.

It wanted to tell travelers two things, but has only said one thing about its name so far.

As for the other matter, let's wait until the traveler returns.

Following the giant meatball's request, the traveler went ashore to explore the island. Upon arriving at the ruins, he indeed found a 'treasure' there.

An unknown force gathered and transformed into a ship, a model of a magnificent ship.

Its new paint shines brightly, as if it were sailing on the sea, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Paimon: "Wow, there really is treasure this time! Why didn't we find it last time we came? Let's go back and show it to Big Meatball!"

The traveler picked it up but didn't notice that there was actually a line of small characters engraved on the side of the boat.

[Overjoyed, Paimon called out to 'Big Meatball': "Yue Shiwan, Yue Shiwan, we've found the treasure!"]

"Look, it's a model of a pirate ship! Your intuition finally came true this time!"

Paimon in the illustration looks very happy, but the happier she is, the sadder the reader becomes.
