I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Sara seemed to have figured something out and soon calmed down.

"With Master's wisdom, he must have considered the countermeasures for exposure long ago, right? Therefore, it seems that my worries are somewhat unnecessary."

"..."

Well...just take it as it is.

"Speaking of which, where did Wulang go..." Before the question was fully asked, Gui Yi Fa Yan felt that he had found the answer to the question, "Oh... He realized that something was wrong a long time ago and ran away in advance, right?"

This is not the first or second time that Sara and Aratake have quarreled. Even Gui Yifayan has gotten used to it, let alone Goro?

However, Wu Lang is not like Gui Yi Fa Yan, who has the strength or intelligence to protect himself in the disputes among his senior brothers and sisters. This makes him more and more sensitive to such situations as time goes by. Just like a frog can predict rain, Wu Lang can gradually sense that his senior brothers and sisters are about to quarrel or even fight, and then run away as fast as possible.

Goro is still very self-aware. Compared to Sara and Aratake Ichito, he is just a younger brother. It is better to leave the matter of mediating the fight to the master.

But it is true that every time Sara and Aratake Ichito quarreled, it was Guiyi Hōgan who came to resolve the dispute, and Goro could do nothing.

Only the prestige of Guiyi Fayan could calm Sara and Aratake Ichido down.

Chapter 168 Future Plans (13/31)

The moonlight is hazy and the evening breeze is singing, and the clear light shines all over my clothes.

The Milky Way stretches across the sky, and the bright jade plate hangs over the tall forest.

The starry sky of Teyvat is always so beautiful. Even if it is fake, the emotions that people who look up at it have are real.

Familiar people and strangers.

Those who have already formed a connection and those who have not yet formed a connection.

Those with malicious intentions and those with noble hearts.

Those who are imprisoned in the past, those who look forward to the future.

Everyone is now under the same starry sky.

It's very rare... Gui Yifa was stunned looking at the night sky.

Calculating the time, it was almost time for her to leave... After all, the journey had to continue.

Sara and the others have been learning from her for some time. Guiyi Fayan feels that the skills they have acquired are sufficient, which means that they are almost ready to "graduate".

Of course, with Gui Yi Fa Yan's ability, it would be no problem for her to continue teaching them. After all, she is the teacher of all ages... But that is not what she wants.

She hopes that Sara, Goro, and Aratake Ichito can forge their own paths instead of always walking on the path she has paved.

Although they may be able to go further with their own help...but life is not meaningful only by how far you go.

The shining point of human beings is that their future is difficult to predict, and they can occasionally do things that even gods cannot imagine.

From a certain perspective, Gui Yi Fa Yan is the same as Merlin... They both love humans as non-humans, hoping that they can write exciting enough stories.

…………

"Sarah, do you have any thoughts about the future?"

In a very simple little house, the chandelier above my head was emitting warm light.

Guiyi Fayan and Sara were sitting on the ground, with a chessboard placed between them.

Yes, the two were playing chess.

The rules of the ghost transformation Iphan had taught Sara, and they had done it more than once during this period. Goro had also done it with them, but Aradaki Ichito had not.

After all, Arataki Ichito's personality determines that it is impossible for him to sit here quietly and play chess.

"The future...?"

After repeating the word, one could hear very complicated emotions in Sara's tone.

"Actually... I would rather stay by Master's side forever."

With a "click", one of Sara's chess pieces moved forward two squares.

"But, this won't work... You know this."

With a "pop", Sara's chess piece was eaten by Gui Yifayan.

"Yeah...I understand."

The long bangs partially covered Sara's face, so her expression was a little unclear at the moment.

Before she knew it, Sara's hair had grown to her waist, and her soft and beautiful long hair was like a black waterfall.

In the past, Sara envied Gui Yi Fa Yan's smooth white hair very much, so Sara also grew his hair long, and today his hair has grown to his waist.

"As for me... I still want to go to Inazuma Castle. I want to join the government and become a general."

"I...want to meet our Lord God."

Sara held her purple divine eye tightly.

"Not only because of the gaze she cast upon me back then, but also because I want to know what kind of existence it is that the people of Qianhua's village have such faith in and that has become such close friends with Lord Miyamichiyo and the others."

"I want to see her clearly with these eyes."

Sara controlled his chess piece to make another move, and then took away one of Gui Yifayan's chess pieces.

"Then... I want to use the skills my master taught me to become the best general in all of Inazuma."

Because he is Guiyi Fayan's disciple, Sara wants to prove his excellence and does not allow himself to be less than excellent.

"Yeah……"

Hearing this, Gui Yifayan showed a relaxed smile on his face.

"Since you already have an idea, then... your teacher can only send you blessings."

"Keep steadfast on the path that lies before you, Sara."

"You are now ready to start your apprenticeship."

…………

"Ah? What?"

Arataki Ichito, who was sitting on a branch of a tree with a plump and juicy melon in his hand, was suddenly stunned.

"Thoughts for the future, Ichidou, do you have anything like that?"

Gui Yi Fa Yan was standing right below Ara Taki Ichido, looking at him with a smile while tilting his head.

"Also, that violet melon tree under your butt was planted by Shala and me together. If you just eat it, it's fine, but if you sit on it and damage it, Shala will chop you to death with a knife."

"Ah~! Got it, I'll be right down... First of all, I'm not scared of that tengu, I'm just... feeling sorry for this tree."

Saying something insincere, Arataki Ichito jumped down from the branch lightly, making almost no sound when he landed.

"As for future plans... I haven't thought about that kind of thing." Aratake Ichito touched his chin and said with a frown: "If I'm not here, I should still stay with my mother-in-law, right? After all, I won't be at ease if my mother-in-law is alone. As for other things, I don't care!"

"You really have no ambition at all. I, Sara, want to join the shogunate and become an outstanding general."

Judging from her words alone, one might think that Guiyi Fayan was blaming Aragaki Ichido, but there was no trace of disappointment in her expression, and she always had a faint smile on her face.

"Sarah... that certainly seems like a decision she would make."

Arataki Ichito scratched the back of his head, seemingly not surprised at all by Sara's decision.

After all, they were enemies who would quarrel over just a few words. Just as Sara knew him very well, he also knew Sara very well.

"After all, I'm not that remarkable. As long as the people around me can live well, and prove to the world that the demons are not bad people... that's my greatest wish. Joining the shogunate like Sala? Forget it. I'm not cut out for that, and I don't want to be bound by it."

"But, um... I do have the idea of ​​establishing an organization. I want to form a small group with a group of like-minded friends and do things that we have always wanted to do but have never dared to do... Of course, we won't do anything bad. I promise that."

"I've already thought of a name. Since I founded this organization, it should be called the Aratagi Sect! What do you think, Master? Doesn't it sound very majestic and domineering?" Aratagi Ichito put his hands on his hips and laughed, "After all, you are the master of the Aratagi Sect's leader. If you join us, I can also give you a very high position... Of course, the highest position must be mine, after all, I am the boss."

"Good boy, you are so brave that you actually want to stand on your master's head?" Huang Long Yidu's words really made Gui Yifayan laugh.

Chapter 169: The Shrine Maiden from Narugami Taisha Shrine

After the fight between Sara and Arakaki, Guiyi Fayan naturally asked Goro.

"What are your plans for the future..."

Wu Lang looked up at the night sky, as if he was thinking, and Gui Yi Fa Yan naturally did not make any sound to interrupt or urge him.

"As for me...I want to go back to Haiqi Island. That's my hometown."

"And then, uh..."

Goro scratched his cheek, looking embarrassed.

"I haven't decided yet... I'll see when we get there."

It’s great that my three disciples all have their own ideas.

Although Sara is the only one who really makes plans for the future, and Goro and Arataki Ikto both take things as they come, there is nothing wrong with that, as it is also a kind of life.

Although Gui Yi Fa Yan taught them skills, he did not really hope that they would become great heroes. After all, few heroes have a good ending.

I don't know why, but the identity of a hero gradually became associated with the idea of ​​tragedy.

Perhaps, even a hero cannot defeat reality and human malice.

Therefore, even if they live a mediocre life, it is not bad, and the skills taught by Gui Yi Fa Yan should be able to make them live a better life.

After all, what she taught was not just martial arts and military tactics, but many aspects.

She can do calculus, recite ancient poems, and speak English, but she can't go to the market to buy vegetables, queue up to get a number at the hospital, or buy train tickets... Because of her own experience, she doesn't want her disciples to become like this.

…………

My name is Kito Morina, and I am a shrine maiden at Narujin Taisha Shrine.

Many of my colleagues envy me. After all, Narujin Taisha is the largest shrine in Inazuma. Every day, countless people come to our shrine to burn incense and pray for blessings. I don’t have to worry about salary at all.

It's just a bit troublesome to clean up. I don't know who started this rumor, but if you draw a fortune at Naruto Shrine and get a bad result, you can throw it to the sacred cherry tree, and the sacred cherry tree will drive away the pilgrim's bad luck... How is that possible!

However, there are still many people who believe this rumor, so we, the shrine maidens, have to spend a lot of time cleaning up the discarded sticks every time. Some sticks even fell on the roof, which is really difficult to clean up... I don’t even have time to slack off and read light novels.

Of course, our job as shrine maidens is not just to clean the shrine, we also occasionally take on tasks such as exorcising evil spirits.

But where could there be so many monsters? Under the might of the General, almost no monsters were seen in Inazuma.

...Oh, I almost forgot, our Lord Chief Priest is also a monster, and a big monster who has lived for five hundred years.

The shrine has taken on many tasks of exorcising evil spirits and demons, but in most cases the clients have made mistakes. At most, they are just a few small animals that have been born with intelligence, which is far from being monsters.

Therefore, for this type of mission, we usually treat it as a public outing, because Naruto-Ohana Shrine is at the top of Kagemukai Mountain, and only in this case will there be a chance to go down the mountain.

This time, Narukami Taisha Shrine received news that there was a monster in the forest.

Kito Marina was sent here for this very purpose.

However, this time she was not here to exorcise the demon, but to investigate.

"It's likely that another intelligent animal, like a raccoon cat or fox, has been born..."

Kito Marina was not very nervous, after all, similar things had happened many times.

They blame monsters for everything that happens. Once before, a man stole someone else's things, but he said it was done by monsters. In the end, they found them at Narukami Taisha Shrine to deal with it.

When they arrived at the destination, Kito Marina became annoyed.

"This place is so remote...Isn't there even a village?"

With a "crack", Kito Marina stepped on a branch on the ground and broke it.

"They said they were going to investigate the youkai, but how are we going to do that?... Or maybe we should just go back and say it's just a rumor."

However, Kito Marina did not do so.

Because Lord Yaemiyaji is really smart, Kito Marina doesn't think she can lie in front of him without being discovered.

So, at least you have to investigate it thoroughly, at least you have to try your best, the results are another matter.

Because although Lord Yae-miyaji is very despicable, he is very easy to talk to, and even if things go wrong, he won't say anything harsh.

This is also an important reason why Kito Marina likes the Narujin Taisha Shrine maiden. After all, who would refuse a smart and easy-going boss when working outside? Especially when this boss is in a high position and is a good friend of the highest authority in Inazuma?

"Wow...it's getting dark. Am I going to spend the night in a place like this? No..."

Walking in the dense forest, Kito Marina felt a little scared.
