I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Guiyi Fayan and Sara also returned to the courtyard that Guiyi Fayan had built at the beginning and continued their previous lives.

Sara continued to train in the courtyard. While teaching Sara, Guiyi Fayan would go out from time to time to see if there were any bloody dogs in the forest. If there were any, he would kill them.

With the help of the Eye of God and the guidance of Guiyi's Dharma Eye, Sara now has the strength to fight the bloody dog. He no longer has to fight for his life like before and can only inflict minor injuries on the opponent.

Of course, if they encounter multiple bleeding dogs, Guiyi Fayan will still let Sha Luo choose to avoid the fight, just because she doesn't want to see her apprentice Sha Luo get hurt.

If the King Ushiwakamaru saw this scene, he would probably yell something like "Who are you, you monster? Get off my master right now"... and then the kind-looking Oni Ichihogan would pull out his sword and chase him, and the two of them would run all the way from Tokyo to Washington.

Because he had been keeping his head down, it was only when he raised his head that he saw that his master was carrying an unconscious person on his shoulders. The person looked a little smaller than himself?

That’s not right… Girls develop earlier than boys, so when you think about it… she should be about the same age as the little boy on Gui Yifayan’s shoulder?

Because of the carrying posture, Sara, who was standing in front of Gui Yi Fa Yan, could not see the little boy's face, but could only see a... khaki dog tail?

Oh, let me correct you, it’s not pure khaki…the area under the tail is white.

"Master...what is this?"

Sha Luo remembered that not long ago, because the beast hounds in the forest were almost wiped out, Gui Yi Fa Yan, who had stayed in the forest for so long without going out and felt very bored, suddenly said that he wanted to go on a long journey.

After all, this island is full of forests, so if Gui Yi Fa Yan wants to leave the forest, he must go to other islands.

After all, Inazuma is an island country, and islands and the sea can be said to be the characteristics of Inazuma country.

Speaking of which, Sara herself has never been out, and all her memories are within this forest.

So... why did the master bring back a little boy after just going on a long journey?

Sara didn't think that his master was a weird uncle who liked to kidnap children. It was probably the same as himself, who encountered some difficulties or dangers and was saved by his master.

"Huh? This..."

Gui Yifayan patted the little boy's drum on his shoulder and grinned.

"This is your junior fellow apprentice."

"..."

Sara was surprisingly not surprised.

"Then... let me arrange and take care of the room for my junior brother."

Sara did not ask Gui Yi Fa Yan where he found his disciple, nor did she ask what kind of person he was. It was simply because she had absolute trust in her master. She believed in her master's vision and felt that anyone chosen by her master must be talented and have a good character.

"Oh, well... I remember we designed a cleaning and dust removal spell in the house. Do we still need to take care of the room?"

Gui Yifayan didn't have to worry about the number of rooms. When she was playing "Minecraft" before, although her houses were built very poorly, she would always build a few more bedrooms and a few spare bathrooms. When she was making this yard, she had the same idea and prepared five bedrooms. She could only say that she was really foresighted at that time.

"Master, the so-called care is not as simple as cleaning." Sha Luo explained to Gui Yifayan meticulously: "After all, although the current room is clean, it is too monotonous. It will definitely be awkward to live in. Let's not talk about making the bed and tidying up the things. Perhaps you can also get some decorations with personal characteristics for me? However, I still need to ask my opinion on these things... By the way, did you bring any luggage? For example, underwear..."

Sara looked at Goro on Guiyi Fayan's shoulder, then looked at Guiyi Fayan again, and saw Guiyi Fayan shrugged in front of her.

"It seems not."

Chapter 148 The Devil in the Eyes of Sala

On the made bed, the new disciple brought by Gui Yi Fa Yan seemed to be sleeping soundly.

The room had been tidied, of course, by Sara. Gui Yi Fa Yan was watching from the side, but she got bored after watching for a while so she went to guard outside the door.

"How strange..." Gui Yifayan floated upside down in mid-air, pinching his chin and muttering to himself, "When I was active as Ba Wanxi, Jasmine took good care of me, and now Sara has taken over all the housework... Could I be the legendary born-good-for-nothing saint?"

"Hmm... that shouldn't be the case. I did do some housework when I was Okita Souji... but why is it that this half-finished, half-finished work, which isn't even considered diligent, is even more annoying?"

"Now that I think about it, it seems that both Sara and Jasmine are little lolita. Letting a little lolita take care of me every time makes me feel even worse! This counts as exploiting child labor! They should go to jail!"

At this time, the door was opened and Sara walked out.

"Master, where did you find Junior Brother Wulang? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"Well... I saw him at the beach." Gui Yifa's eyes turned 180 degrees, and he floated upside down in the air. He said as he recalled, "His clothes were soaked by the sea water. I thought he must have drifted in from the sea, so I brought him back."

Sha Luo did not think there was anything wrong with Gui Yi Fa Yan's tone, which was like finding a pet rather than a disciple. After all, she was picked up by Gui Yi Fa Yan in the same way.

"It's about the same as when I found you. When I found Wulang, he wasn't in good condition either. He had a slight fever, and his whole body was burning. But he was much better than when I first met you... I don't need to say how bad your condition was back then, right?"

"Yes, I know." Sha Luo lowered his eyes slightly and whispered with an inexplicable emotion: "It can be said that I am only one step away from death. If it weren't for Master, I might have died long ago."

"Having one foot in the gates of hell probably describes you at that time. Back then, you were still wrapped in the dark power of the abyss, your body was as tattered as a rag, and you had bled almost dry. Even when I first saw you, I thought, 'Oh my god, this kid is hopeless!'"

If Gui Yi Fa Yan had arrived later, Sara might have died and she would not have met such a good disciple.

However, even when imagining that cruel possibility, Gui Yi Fa Yan didn't feel anything, almost no emotions like fear or regret.

Because the emotional fluctuations of a "non-human existence" like Guiyi Fayan are originally very weak. As a great Tengu who has lived for more than a thousand years, she may be curious about some new things, and may feel satisfied because her curiosity is satisfied, but her emotions other than these are very indifferent.

Sara and Guiyi Fayan were walking along the edge of the road. On the left were the rooms, and on the right they could go directly to the courtyard. There were several small trees planted in the courtyard. These were all violet trees. They should look forward to the time when those trees bloomed and bore fruit.

"However, Sala, your rescue may have been due to the help of the gods."

Gui Yi Fa Yan suddenly spoke, causing Sara to look sideways slightly.

"After all, when I found you, you still had the Eye of God, didn't you? You didn't have that thing when you fought the Beast Realm Hounds, did you?" Ghost One Dharma Eye raised a slender jade finger and analyzed seriously, "Because your bravery touched the gods, the gods didn't want you to die, so they cast their gaze on you and bestowed you with the Eye of God. Then, the Eye of God helped you resist the power of the abyss, and you held on until I could heal you."

"Thinking about it this way, perhaps even your meeting with me was blessed by the gods."

Of course, Guiyi Fayan knew that Inazuma's Thunder God did not have such powerful abilities. It seemed that it was not the responsibility of the Thunder General to grant the Eye of God or to let the two meet.

The "god" mentioned by Gui Yifayan is some more metaphysical and mysterious existence, such as fate.

Gui Yi Fa Yan can float in the air and move without spreading her wings. She also enjoys the ability to go to many places without touching the ground.

It's really a blessing for lazy people!

At this time, Sara, who was following Guiyi Fayan, suddenly thought of Goro's dog tail and ears, so after hesitating for a while, he spoke to his master.

"Master, that... my new apprentice brother... is he also a monster?"

Sara has always lived in the forest and has hardly had any contact with humans. As for monsters, she has had contact with her own master, and as for ordinary humans, she has had contact with Chika, but this is the first time she has seen someone like Goro who has dog ears and a dog tail.

I couldn't suppress the doubts and curiosity in my heart, so I asked this question.

"..."

The strange silence lasted for several seconds.

Oh, yes, Goro...is he a monster?

After all, Guiyi Fayan knew that on this continent of Teyvat there were not only monsters and immortals, but also orcs, that is, people with the characteristics of wild beasts.

For example, the bartender Diona is a cat girl with a cat tail and cat ears, and even her stretching movements are exactly the same as a cat. Wendy, who is allergic to cat hair, will sneeze constantly if she gets close to Diona.

So... is Goro a monster or an orc?

"Master? Master?"

Seeing the ghost, Yi Fa Yan was stunned in mid-air. Sara tilted his head and called out several times.

Well, although it's a bit embarrassing to admit that I'm not well-educated in front of my own apprentice, but...

"Sorry, I don't know either."

"..."

This time, it was Sara's turn to be in strange silence.

Gui Yifayan saw that Sara suddenly stopped and lowered his head as if he was pondering some century-old problem. The aura he exuded was a little scary, just like... um... a student who was solving the last math problem in the last ten minutes before the end of the exam?

This made Gui Yifayan subconsciously hold his breath, feeling embarrassed to disturb her contemplation.

"I see, I understand what you mean, Master." Sala raised his head and looked at Gui Yi Fa Yan, his face serious, "Master, you want to tell me that whether Wu Lang is a monster or not is not important, what matters is that he is my junior apprentice, right?"

"..."

I mean...how come I didn't know about this?

Although your understanding seems to make sense at first glance...

"Ah, yes, yes, you're right, it makes a lot of sense." Gui Yi Fa Yan nodded, accepting the mistake, and then asked, "Speaking of which, Sha Luo, haven't you ever thought that there's a possibility... that your master really doesn't know?"

"Are you kidding, Master?" Sala frowned. "Master, you are all-knowing and all-powerful, so how could you not even know the answer to this question? You are undoubtedly hinting at me, testing me, trying to teach me something. If I can't even see this, how can I be your disciple?"

"Omniscient and omnipotent...isn't this misunderstanding a bit too heavy?"

Gui Yifayan began to feel confused... When did this misunderstanding begin?

Chapter 149: On the Similarities Between Myself and Saigyouji Yuyuko

"Ah~~~~, taking a bath is so refreshing."

Gui Yifayan rarely changed out of her red light armor that exposed her navel, and instead put on a yukata with flowing cloud patterns.

The weather has been much cooler recently, and Gui Yifayan was still hot after taking a hot shower.

After coming out, Gui Yi Fa Yan met Sha Luo. Sha Luo bowed his head respectfully and asked Gui Yi Fa Yan, "Master, the food is ready. Please go and eat."

"Oh! Thank you for your hard work, Sara."

Here is a reminder that eating right after taking a shower is not a good habit, as it can cause indigestion.

Of course, if you have a body as strong as Gui Yi Fa Yan, you can ignore the above reminder.

"How's your junior brother Wulang? Is he awake?"

"Report to the master, my junior brother hasn't woken up yet." Sha Luo lowered his eyes and asked, "Do you want me to leave some food so that my junior brother can eat directly after waking up?"

"Hmm... forget it. At worst, I can make another one after Wulang wakes up... And even though we used magic to heal him, since he just woke up, it's better to let him eat some light food that is good for his recovery."

"Yes, Master is indeed very thoughtful."

Looking at Sara like this, Gui Yifayayan sighed secretly in his heart.

I always feel that... Sara is too respectful to her.

She only discovered this recently. It wasn't so obvious before she went on a long trip... When did it start?

This kind of decision, as if made by a ghost's divine eye, must be correct, and is more like faith than so-called trust.

Really, she is not God, nor Solomon or Banana, and it is impossible for her to be perfect in everything.

However, even if Gui Yi Fa Yan showed "inadequacy" or "ignorance" in front of Sara, Sara would think that Gui Yi Fa Yan was pretending, and then began to think about the deeper meaning behind it.

You are not Xiaodi, why are you making up conspiracy theories?

At least in Gui Yi Fa Yan's own opinion, she is just an ordinary person who can only kneel on the ground, pound the floor with her fists and cry "I can't do anything" most of the time. The power she uses is not her own but is kindly lent to her by everyone in Chaldea. This is also the first time she has encountered such a thing.

So she didn't know how to deal with this problem.

So...she posed.

"Let time handle the problems that cannot be solved. I believe that as time goes by, Sara will see the truth and discover that I am completely different from the image she imagined."

If only she were as wise as Sara imagined, at least she would know the answer to the question of "what to do when others have excessive expectations of you."

There was a small low table where Sara and Gui Yifayan were sitting on the floor.

There wasn't a lot of food on the table, but if there were only two people dining, this amount would be just right.

"Master, have you eaten well while you're away?"

"We try to maintain the habit of eating three meals a day, but when we're away from home, we can't expect too much. We just eat whatever's available," Gui Yi Fa Yan answered Sara's question casually. "However, the most common situation is that we have meat but lack seasoning... Well, the meat of crabs, fish, and the like is very good, and even without seasoning, they taste great with simple preparation, so we can get by."

"Really? Then when Master comes back, you can enjoy Sara's cooking more. My cooking skills should have improved during the time Master was away."

"Hmm, I can tell you put a lot of effort into it, Sara... The fish is really well prepared. It's a clear improvement compared to before. Well done."

"Is... is that so? Thank you for the compliment, Master. I will definitely work harder."

Sara's face turned a little red, and he seemed to be very pleased with Gui Yifayan's praise.

After the meal, while cleaning up the dishes, Sara turned his head to look at Gui Yi Fa Yan, who was patting his stomach with a satisfied look on his face.

"Master, are you full?"

"...I think I'm full, right? At least I'm satisfied."

As an elf, Guiyi Fayan will immediately transform all food into the most refined magic power after eating it, without any residue. It can be said that Guiyi Fayan is the kind of "beautiful girl who doesn't need to go to the toilet" that only exists in fantasy.

Replenishing magic power through eating is also very common in the Type-Moon world. For example, Saber Altria will reduce magic power consumption by sleeping because Emiya Shirou's magic power supply is scarce, and replenish magic power through eating... Although she thinks that even if Altria does not need to replenish magic power through eating, her appetite will not change.

However, the magic power replenished by eating is not even as much as the magic power that Gui Yi Fa Yan obtains from the surrounding atmosphere in one breath, so Gui Yi Fa Yan actually does not need to replenish magic power in this way, and cannot get a sense of fullness from eating.

But the texture and taste of the food did satisfy her.
