The Golden Tree Standing Tall in the World of Teyvat

Chapter 132 The Courage Given by Nashida

"However, you just called me here because you didn't want to disturb Linghua from reading the notes. It seems that the notes really have a history."

Paimon looked at Ayaka Kamisato's expression and analyzed: "But judging from her expression, it's probably not a treasure map."

"It's okay. Regardless of whether there is a treasure map or not, Linghua's commission fee is still there." Ying said nonchalantly.

Paimon nodded and said: "That's right, then help Linghua solve this commission properly."

Kamisato Ayaka: "."

"Traveler, Paimon, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long." After reading the notes, Kamisato Ayaka said while walking towards Ying and Paimon who were standing aside.

"It has only been a short while, but you have already seen very quickly." Paimon replied.

"Have you read the notes?" Ying asked.

"Well, I've finished reading it. However, Nasida was suddenly grabbed by a hand in front of me just now. Is it okay?"

Kamisato Ayaka said hesitantly, because she was also anxious a moment ago, but seeing the travelers and Paimon on the side looking like they were taking it for granted, she suppressed her curiosity and read the notes first.

"It's okay, her family must have something to do with her," Paimon said with relief.

Kamisato Ayaka: "???"

Is this how her family came to find her? A hand stretched out from the crack in space and caught her inside?

"Okay then."

Although Kamisato Ayaka wanted to ask something else, she knew that this was not appropriate, because in her opinion, Nacida was a friend of Ying and Paimon, not her friend, because all her secrets had been exposed by Nacida, It felt unnatural for Kamisato Ayaka to face Nasida, which also made her give up the idea of ​​becoming friends with Nasida.

Kamisato Ayaka changed the subject and said, "By the way, I think I should share the truth about this notebook with you."

"Although, the content inside is completely different from what I thought..."

Paimon asked in confusion: "It's different? Isn't this the note of the Fox Archangel?"

Kamisato Ayaka replied: "It's not the fox god."

"Chun's true identity is my mother."

"Why??!"

After listening to Kamisato Ayaka's words, Paimon made a sound of surprise.

"Surprised, right? Me, I'm surprised too - it was written like this from the beginning of this notebook."

Kamisato Ayaka looked at Paimon and Ying's puzzled eyes, and slowly said: "[Chun is the same as me, but different from me in ordinary times. As Tsubaki, I am not Kamisato Ayaka, but the most ordinary person." ”

"[Everything below is just an ordinary trivial matter in life that I recorded.]"

"Most of what is written in the notes are my mother's private and trivial thoughts in daily life... Those things that we think are related to Chun are also her thoughts."

After hearing this, Paimon said with a troubled face: "It means, design drawings and exotic cuisine."

"Well, these are all things my mother wanted to try." Ayaka Kamisato nodded.

"It may seem strange to you, but as for me, I can understand my mother's behavior."

"Rather, actually... I actually have this side of myself... I'm even a little overwhelmed when I read the notes, as if some of my thoughts were seen through and written down in the notes..."

After listening to Kamisato Ayaka's words, Paimon asked curiously: "Is this any different from Nasida seeing through her heart?"

Kamisato Ayaka: "."

Ying looked at Kamisato Ayaka who was suddenly silent, turned to Paimon who was scratching his head and complained: "If you can speak, just speak more, Paimon."

"Hey!" Paimon was embarrassed by Ying's words and couldn't help but sigh like a wind god.

"Actually, it feels the same to me. When Nasida saw through my mind, she gave me the uncomfortable feeling of having her little thoughts seen clearly by her elders. I'm also very curious about why I feel this way. Logically speaking, Shouldn’t you be very angry?”

"Huh? Is that so?" Pamon asked in confusion, scratching his head.

"Yes, it feels amazing. Why can a child give me this feeling?" Kamisato Ayaka said with emotion: "Nasida's identity is not ordinary, right? At least she looks older than me."

"Yeah." Ying nodded. Nasida's age was at least dozens of times older.

"I won't ask any more questions. Regarding the content of the letter, after my mother married my father, she has been in charge of various matters as the matron of the Kamisato family. The social status is relatively noble, and there are many aspects that need to be taken care of. "

"Not only that, her every move represents the Wakagami family. People are always watching her. In this case, she must not have much time to do what she wants to do..."

"After my parents passed away, my brother and I took over everything in the Kamisato family. The many difficulties we encountered during this period may be a bit unimaginable to outsiders..."

"Whenever I encounter trouble, I always wonder: Did my mother do this before? How would she handle such a thing?"

"Perhaps it has been too long since I last saw her. Before I knew it, even my memory almost only left the majestic and noble side of my mother."

Ying looked at Ayaka at this time and was a little at a loss, because she had never encountered this situation before, so she could only instinctively walk to Kamisato Ayaka.

Kamisato Ayaka suddenly said: "But this is wrong."

"When I saw this notebook, I realized...she is exactly the same as me. No matter what responsibilities we have, we are just ordinary people."

"I like beautiful things, want to try the delicacies of each region, and crave for the beauty I have never seen..."

"Maybe you will laugh at me for being immature when you hear this, but... I do have this idea. Not to live as Kamisato Ayaka, but as an ordinary girl."

"Ah! I'm back." Nashida's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Your idea is very good, and it is worth supporting." Nashida said to Kamisato Ayaka after greeting.

"Nashida, what did you do just now?" Paimon asked curiously.

"Well, just now Liusu said that he caught a fish, and excitedly grabbed me over. As a result, I looked and found that it was not a fish, but a girl who foolishly entangled herself in the fishing line." Nashida explained.

"Hmm? Mermaid?" Paimon asked curiously.

"No, it's just an ordinary girl, but Liusu insisted that it was a fish. Not only that, she found a fish tank and threw the girl in, saying that the fish was good and could be used as an ornamental fish."

Paimon's eyes were full of gossip: "Wow, Liusu would actually do this? What happened later?"

"Well, at my request, Liusu still let her go." Nashida explained: "Then as you can see, I was thrown here again by her."

Shinri Ayaka: "."

"Well, this is really something Liusu can do." Paimon analyzed with reason.

"Shinri Ayaka, right?" Nashida turned to Shenri Ayaka and said, with a gentle smile on her face.

"Ah? Me, me." Shenri Ayaka was uncomfortable with Nashida's eyes.

"Don't be nervous, relax."

Nashida said slowly, her voice seemed to have a kind of magic, which made Shenri Ayaka's nervous mood quickly relax.

"You, you." Shenri Ayaka stared at the little child in front of her with wide eyes.

Nashida smiled and said, "You guessed it right, but there is no reward."

Paimon scratched his head and asked Ying, "What is Nashida saying? Why can't I understand it?"

"Maybe she read my mind again? Linghua may have realized Nashida's identity." Ying replied.

"I, I." Kamisato Linghua was excited again. She didn't expect that this little child was actually a god.

"I heard you were confused before. Can you say it again from the beginning? I can help you solve it." Nashida said gently, completely different from her previous appearance. At this time, she felt like a god. Before, she was just a naughty child.

"It's like this." Kamisato Linghua told Nashida about her previous confusion.

"Is that so? It's very similar to my situation." Nashida said with a smile.

Kamisato Ayaka opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Ah? How could it be? Aren't you a god?"

"Yes, you look at gods just like other people look at you. Gods actually have a lot of things they want to do, such as eating what they want to eat and going to nice places to see the scenery, but they are hampered by their dignity in this country and have no friends to make."

"This, this" Kamisato Ayaka didn't recover, and Nashida's words shocked her.

"I can understand your situation because it has happened to me."

"How could it be?"

"Why not?"

"But this is a little different. I had a father and a mother before, and now I have to manage the family and maintain the face of the Kamisato family. This should be incomprehensible to the high gods, right?" Kamisato Ayaka said all at once under the influence of Nashida's brilliance.

"I also have my own country, why is it different?" Nashida said with a smile.

"But the emotion of parents leaving is incomprehensible to gods, right?" Kamisato Ayaka continued.

"I can understand. Five hundred years ago, the mother of the tree king passed away, and then I appeared. I began to rule a country as a weak child, but I knew nothing and could only secretly observe the world in my dreams. It was even worse than you." Nashida replied.

"According to my analysis, if Liusu heard this, Nashida would be beaten nine out of ten times." Listening to Nashida's fierce words, Ying turned to Paimeng and said.

"I think so too." Paimeng agreed.

"Then how did you get out?" Shenli Ayaka asked.

"Bang!"

Shenli Ayaka looked at a hand stretched out from the space in surprise, knocked directly on Nashida's head, and then pulled it back instantly, as if nothing had happened.

"Let me tell you, with Liusu's current ability, he is probably always paying attention to Nashida." Ying turned to Paimeng and said.

"Are you okay?" Seeing Nashida being suddenly knocked by a hand, Shenli Ayaka asked with concern.

Nashida endured the pain on her head, forced out a smile and said, "No, it's okay, I'm used to it."

Kamiri Ayaka: "."

"Okay, let's get back to the point. People shouldn't live so hard. To a certain extent, you can relax yourself, such as traveling to other countries. In this way, no one will know you, and you can do whatever you want, right?"

"But I still have a family to manage. Isn't this bad?"

"It's very simple. For example, I left my country, and nothing changed. It's just that you are too worried. Relaxing yourself to a certain extent is effective."

"I, I will try my best. Thank you." Kamisato Ayaka thanked Nasida.

Nasida looked at Kamisato Ayaka's convinced look, touched her chin and said, "Well, that's good, that's how you feel energetic."

"Are there any other concerns that need to be answered?" Nasida continued to ask.

"My mother wrote in her notes that she had always wanted to participate in the local folk festival in Inazuma. She said that on a clear night, when she looked into the distance from her home, she could occasionally see the lights of the festival. I have seen it too! It was very lively. There are a lot of people, and the fire in the lantern is very bright and can light up a large area of ​​the night sky... Sometimes we have to worry about security issues there. "

"It's just that, given our status, it may not be etiquette to attend the festival rashly. Especially in the era of my parents, the relationship between the community and the people was not that close..."

"Even if no one restricts us, if someone from the social practice suddenly appears in the crowd, everyone will look at it strangely. They will think, what are we going to do there?"

"My mother said that she didn't want others to feel restrained and wanted everyone to enjoy the joy and freedom of the festival... She didn't want to disturb others and didn't have much free time, so she never went there once."

Paimon suddenly said: "So that's it. So what's on that design drawing is the dress she plans to wear to the festival?"

"Yes. Exotic dishes are sometimes sold at festivals. Those are also things she wants to try."

Kamisato Ayaka laughed sadly when she said it: "It's a bit presumptuous to say it, but... I never thought that my mother also has such a girly side, hahaha."

Paimon: "I'm not being presumptuous. I think your mother is a lovely and responsible person!"

Hearing Paimon's words, Kamisato Ayaka laughed happily.

"I would like to ask, as a god, what do you think of your mother?" Kamisato Ayaka asked Nasida.

Nasida: "."

"I have no opinion on this. Please don't ask me about this." Nasida calmed down her expression and said with fear.

Kamisato Ayaka: "???"

Seeing the fearful expression on Nasita's face, Kamisato Ayaka thought it was because the god didn't want to remember her deceased mother that she showed such an expression.

But what Ayaka Kamisato doesn't know is that the mother Nacida talks about is now alive and well, and as long as Nacida speaks ill of her, she can accurately send sugar-fried chestnuts to Nacida's head across space.

Kamisato Ayaka hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, I was too emotional just now. I hope you don't mind. It's okay if you do."

"It's okay, I don't mind."

Nasida said slowly, "You don't mind?" That's weird, I almost got beaten again. I'll have to trick you next time, otherwise the more I think about it, the more I'll lose.

"That's good." Kamisato Ayaka breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Unknowingly, I fulfilled some wishes for my mother. The only thing I can't accomplish for her is going to the festival."

"It seems... there is no chance to see her complete this matter." After saying this, Kamisato Ayaka looked very disappointed.

"Ayaka, you've done a great job." Paimon said with relief.

".Thank you, I seem to understand something."

"My mother and I are exactly the same in some ways. What she faced is also what I will face."

Nasida looked at Kamisato Ayaka with encouraging eyes and said, "What do you think?"

Kamisato Ayaka mustered up the courage to say: "She placed unachievable things on Tsubaki, and I...have already made up my mind."

"Maybe the difficult things you think are not that difficult after all?" Nasida said with a smile and comforted her.

Kamisato Ayaka replied firmly: "Well, yes, after listening to your words, I feel that I have a new goal, and I will spend every day without regrets."

"Not bad, you are very energetic. Then let me do you a small favor."

Nacida stretched out her hand, and the green divine power condensed into a mask. Nacida handed the mask in her hand to Kamisato Ayaka.

"What is this?" Kamisato Ayaka curiously took the mask.

"If you want to relax in the future, but it's difficult to appear as yourself, this mask can help you. It will cover up your breath and turn you into an ordinary girl." Nasida explained with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you. This is exactly what I need." Kamisato Ayaka held the mask with both hands and bowed to Nasida.

After listening to Kamisato Ayaka's words, Nasida tilted her head and made a cute expression and said with a smile: "You're welcome, your wish has been noticed by the gods."

"Uh-huh."

Nasida's words gave Kamisato Ayaka great courage, and she said seriously to Ying: "Traveller, I want to invite you to attend the festival together, is that okay?"

Although she spoke the words completely and naturally, Nasida noticed that Ayaka Kamisato's little hand holding the mask turned white. This was caused by holding the mask too nervously.

"Wow. It's good to have said it. You are stronger than before." Nasida encouraged her by clapping her little hands.

Kamisato Ayaka was a little embarrassed to be praised by Nasida: "Wow~"

"Of course. We have been interested since we saw the poster. Since it was invited by Linghua, how could we refuse?" Ying replied with a smile.

"Really? Thank you so much."

Speaking of this, Kamisato Ayaka felt her eyes were a little sour, and she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands, but there was no trace of moisture.

"Thank you Nashida for giving me courage, you are really a gentle god." Kamisato Ayaka thanked Nashida again.

"You're welcome, this is all your own decision. If I hadn't, I'm sure you would have made the same decision. I just helped you make a quick decision, so you have to thank yourself."

Nashida answered while blinking her eyes, peeking at Kamisato Ayaka's inner voice, and a barely noticeable arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
