Chapter 135 The Sun and the Bird in the Cage

"Us?" Ying said doubtfully.

"Yes, I noticed you when you first arrived in Xumi City, because you had that familiar and warm breath on you at that time. When you entered Xumi City and put on the Void Terminal, I noticed Just put your awareness into it and observe you."

"Did Nacida notice it at that time?" Paimon said in surprise.

"Yes, later on the traveler took off the Void Terminal and replaced it with Skynet. I didn't know it at the time. At night, I entered the traveler's dream, and then I discovered that world, a vast and boundless world. A dream but a real world.”

"That world is really beautiful. There is a huge golden tree that can be seen anywhere. And I can move freely in that world, just like in the real world, with sunshine, breeze, and standing Real touch on the ground.”

"That world is very big, but apart from monsters, I have been looking for it for a long time, but I haven't seen anyone. This makes me know that no matter how real this world is, it is just a dream created by travelers."

"Nacita"

"I searched and searched. Finally, I saw a traveler fighting a monster in one place. I stopped and observed the traveler's behavior."

"I only remember that in that world, the monsters were much stronger than in the real world, but the travelers were still able to fight the monsters with ease. At that time, I felt that the travelers were so strong." After saying this, Nasida turned to look at Yingying. said.

"Hehe, no, it's just that the more you fight, the more practice makes perfect."

Ying replied embarrassedly, having died so many times in the world of "Genshin Impact", even an ordinary person would be able to do it, let alone her who already had the foundation.

"Nacida, why do you want to follow us to Liyue?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

"At that time, I felt that you were leaving, and that feeling of fear flooded into my heart again, so I made a bold decision to continue following the travelers."

"However, I am also glad that I made this decision, because after arriving in Liyue, I met her."

When Nasida said this, her originally dull eyes began to glow with starlight, and the corners of her mouth turned up involuntarily. It could be seen that she was very happy at this time.

"Nasida, does this mean Tassel?" Kamisato Ayaka asked curiously.

Nasida scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "Yes, but the first time I met her, she was thrown back because she said the wrong thing."

"Yes, when she saw you being thrown back by Liusu, Ying was very angry. She even asked Liusu why he sent you back," Paimon said.

"Actually, it's my problem. Although Liusu threw me back, she still left a passage for me to go to Liyue again. By following this golden thread, I can enter the Traveler's Skynet again."

"So that's it. I asked you why you suddenly appeared again. It turns out you are made of tassels." Paimon suddenly realized.

"I was really happy during that Lantern Festival. Although I was observing the world from a traveler's perspective, I didn't know why, but I was just happy. It was much more interesting than observing other people's dreams."

Paimon thought of something and asked Nacida: "By the way, Nacida, how did you get out? Didn't you say you were imprisoned? Why did you appear in Mondstadt with Zhongli on the day of the Wind Flower Festival? ?”

"Well, it was actually Liusu who kicked me out." Nasida said with a smile.

Paimon scratched his head: "Huh?"

"After the Sea Lantern Festival, I returned to Sumeru. I knew it was not good to disturb travelers all the time. Just when I was about to fall asleep again, the voice appeared again, but this time I heard the voice clearly."

Paimon said: "Is this Liusu's voice?"

"Yes, it's exactly the same as Liusu's voice. After understanding it, I realized that this was Liusu's consciousness left in the World Tree. Now that Liusu has become stronger again, this consciousness has also been strengthened, and she is completely awake."

"I wanted to chat with her again as before, and she smiled and talked to me about everything else, but this time it's not like before. I can understand many things clearly."

"But then one day, she suddenly asked me if I wanted to go out and see the world with my own eyes."

"If I were before, I definitely wouldn't want to go there, because everyone in Xumi doesn't agree with me, and I don't have the need to go out. Staying in Jingshan Palace all the time is also a good thing for the people of Xumi and myself. matter."

"Then what?" Paimon asked.

"Then, because I went to Liyue with you last time, I was also full of longing for the outside world, so I answered, yes."

"The voice didn't say anything after hearing it, and it didn't give me a reply. I didn't take it seriously at the time."

"Because at that time I was still thinking that if she had always been with me, then I wouldn't be so lonely in Jingshan Palace all the time. As for whether I can get out, it wouldn't seem so important."

After saying this, Nasida showed a strange look on her face and continued: "Then, she threw me out."

"Thrown it out?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

"Yes, literally, I was thrown out. I felt a strong force at that time, and then my eyes flashed and my body became light. I was thrown to the grass outside Xumi City. I lay on the grass with my whole body, and my mouth I also ate a lot of green grass.”

fluorescent:"."

Paimon said with a troubled face: "It's really what Tassel can do."

Nasida recalled: "Yes, I was quite confused at the time. When I wanted to enter Xumi City again, I found that there was a barrier preventing me from entering."

"The voice appeared in my mind again. She said, Xumi doesn't need you anymore, please leave."

"I panicked at the time and asked why?"

"[I am enough for Sumeru now. If you want to see the outside world now, then take this opportunity to experience this world. Birds should not be imprisoned in cages. Go ahead and fly more calmly. Be free and come back when you feel tired. This tree has always reserved your own habitat for you." The voice said.

Paimon heard Nasida's words and said excitedly: "Wow, is Tassel so gentle?"

"Yeah, Liusu is the best person to me in the world. I love Liusu the most." Nacida replied with a smile.

Paimon clasped his little hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Nascida likes tassels so much, just like Kelly."

"Well, let me ask you, who is Keli?" Kamisato Ayaka asked quietly from the side.

"Kelly, she is a very cute girl, like a little sun. Like Nasida, she likes her mother the most." Paimon explained.

fluorescent:"."

I have already said that I am not my mother. If you say this and someone hears it, you will definitely not get the good news.

"So Liusu is Nasida's mother?" After listening to Paimon's words, Kamisato Ayaka understood a little bit.

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Paimon realized that he had said something wrong and quickly corrected him: "I mean Liusu treats Nasida very well, just like Kelly's mother treats Kelly."

"So that's it." Kamisato Ayaka nodded. It seems that Tassel is equivalent to her relationship with her brother in Nasida's eyes.

"Actually, what Paimon said is right, I was made of Tassel." Although Nasida said this, she already covered her head with her hands.

Paimon: "."

Your movements are so skillful. How many sugar-fried chestnuts did Liusu ask you to eat to have such an instinct?

"I won't beat you this time, and I won't do it next time."

The sound of Tassel came to Nacida's ears. When she heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and put down her hands that were protecting her head.

"Then what happened next, Nacida, how did you get to Mondstadt?" Paimon continued to ask, she was very curious about this matter.

Nasida said strangely: "Later, I asked her where I wanted to go. She said, you can go wherever you want. If it doesn't work out, you can find a country to sleep in, as long as it's not in Sumeru."

Paimon: "As expected of her."

"Then, I went to Liyue. Later I learned that Liusu went to Mondstadt, and you will know what happened next."

"So that's it." Paimon nodded and said, "But what about the sun, stars and moon? How could there be another person who is exactly the same as Tassel, and why did Tassel, which is obviously the sun, turn into a star? ?”

"Well, I don't know what's going on." After hearing Paimon's words, Nasida was also puzzled.

"However, my subconscious felt that this was the right way. Tassel is not the sun, she represents the stars, and the other person who is the same as Tassel is the sun."

After thinking for a while, Ying asked Nasida: "Why do you think Tassel is the sun?"

After listening to Ying's words, Nasida frowned and bit her fingers and explained: "Because the sun is the brightest. As long as the sun appears, the stars and the moon will be covered by its light, so I think Tassel is the sun." , but the person who looks like Tassel makes me feel as warm as the sun.”

"But the stars are the sun." Ying said suddenly.

Nacida: "Huh?"

Paimon: "Huh?"

Kamisato Ayaka: "???"

"Don't you know?" Ying looked at the three people who looked at him in confusion.

Paimon asked his doubts: "A star is a star, how can it be the sun? Where did you know that?"

"Don't you know? Stars are just suns, but those suns are far away from us, so what we see are small ones, so they are called stars."

"Well, Ying, where did you hear this? Didn't stars fall before? If the stars were the sun, Teyvat would have been finished long ago." Pamon looked at Ying with a strange expression and said.

fluorescent:"???"

Ying suddenly thought of what Liusu said. The starry sky in Teyvat was fake, so the stars here were just stars, not the ones she had encountered before, where the stars were the sun in the distance.

"It's not impossible, because the tassel representing the stars emits more brilliance than the other one that is the sun." Nacida said, looking at the Ema in her hand.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, we will know when the time comes."

Nasida hung the Ema in her hand on the Ema stand in front of her, turned to Kamisato Ayaka and said: "I'm sorry, Ayaka, today was originally your festival, but I wasted a lot of your time. ”

After listening to Nasida's words, Kamisato Ayaka waved her hands quickly and said: "No, no, I took the liberty and heard a lot about you."

"It's okay. Since you are a friend of the travelers, you are also a friend of my Nasida." Nasida replied with a smile.

Shinri Ayaka asked excitedly, "I, can I really do this?"

Being friends with gods was something she didn't even dare to think about.

"Of course. Since we are friends, I wish you sweet dreams every night." Nashida said, and the divine power in her hand radiated towards Shinri Ayaka.

"Yeah, yeah, thank you." Shinri Ayaka felt the warm power and thanked Nashida.

"Nashida, the owner of the ema stall next to us won't hear what we said, right?" Paimon asked a little worriedly.

Nashida explained, "No, I have already used divine power to block the content of our conversation. In his opinion, we were just communicating normally just now."

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."

After listening to Nashida's explanation, Shinri Ayaka also breathed a sigh of relief. Today brought her too many shocks. The fact that Tsubaki is a mother is not as touching as the fact that Nashida is a god, not to mention that she can be friends with gods.

"Yeah, it's almost time." Shinri Ayaka looked up at the moonlight and said.

Paimon said reluctantly: "Ah? Are you leaving already?"

"Yes, the festival is almost over."

Kamiri Ayaka said with emotion: "The happier you are, the faster time passes... just like flowing water and falling cherry blossoms."

"."Kamiri Ayaka was silent for a while and said: "Let's go back."

"Do you need my help?" Nashida said.

Kamiri Ayaka listened to Nashida's words and thanked her: "Then I'll trouble you."

According to the map given by Kamri Ayaka, Nashida opened the space crack to the Guardian Forest, and the group followed Nashida in.

"Then I'll go back first, see you next time." After everyone came out, Nashida blinked at Kamri Ayaka and said.

"Well, today, thank you, thank you." Kamri Ayaka seemed to be seen through by Nashida, and thanked Nashida again with some embarrassment.

"You're welcome, we are friends, so goodbye." After that, Nashida opened the space crack again and left.

"Goodbye." Kamisato Ayaka waved at Nashida's departing back.

Kamisato Ayaka watched Nashida leave and stood still for a while, then said to Ying: "Traveler, actually... today is my first time to come to the festival like this. You should have known my personality since we met so far, right?"

Ying: "."

"With a temper like mine... if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been so happy today."

"Thank you, today is a very meaningful day for me, I will always remember it in my heart."

"The festival is great! There are not so many rules, everyone's face is filled with a smile from the heart, free and happy..."

"If there is a chance... hehe, I want to go again."

Ying followed Kamisato Ayaka's words and replied: "I want to go again too."

"You too? Too Okay!"

"Come to think of it, I'm a bit like the Traveler. I have a brother, and so do you."

Ying asked in confusion, "When did I say I have a brother?"

Kamisato Ayaka: "???"

When Paimon heard Ying's words, he said in surprise, "Well, I said it before, Ying, you won't forget your brother again, right?"

Kamisato Ayaka: "Ahem, is that so? The relationship between the Traveler and his brother is not good?"

After hearing what Kamisato Ayaka said, Ying put her hands on her waist and replied, "No, because my brother is often out and about, and doesn't care about me, his sister, at all, so it's better not to have such a brother!"

Kamisato Ayaka: "."

Kamisato Ayaka thought carefully, and her brother seemed to be like this, so it was okay.

"I, I understand." Kamisato Ayaka suddenly replied.

"Ah? You understand?" This time it was Ying's turn to be surprised.

"I understand your feelings. Thinking carefully, my brother seems to have become like this." Kamisato Ayaka explained: "However, family and kinship are the ties that none of us can eliminate... They are our most important roots in this world."

"Although, although this root, um." Kamisato Ayaka wanted to say something, but it seemed difficult to say it now. If she said it, it would become a meeting to complain about her brother.

"As... cough! As a friend, I will always watch over and support you."

Ying looked at Kamisato Ayaka's stiff change of subject with a little confusion. Although he was puzzled, he still replied: "Thank you, Ayaka."

Hearing Ying's words, Kamisato Ayaka showed a sweet smile.

"Well, then I'm relieved!"

"Let's go, we'll go to Kamisato's house. Along the way, we can also see the night scene of the Guardian Forest. This is a place I specially chose. It's not far from Kamisato's house. Let's feel it." Kamisato Ayaka said and walked in front to lead the way.

"Hmm." Ying and Paimon followed behind Kamisato Ayaka, curiously looking at the night scenery of the Guardian Forest. Although they had been here several times before, their minds were full of looking for demons and monsters, so they didn't pay much attention to the scenery.

Kamisato Ayaka mentioned it today, and after a closer look, it was indeed beautiful. Many night plants were emitting a faint glow, making Ying feel that she had entered a dreamlike world, dreamy and beautiful.

"By the way, traveler." Kamisato Ayaka, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

"Hmm?" Ying looked at Kamisato Ayaka who suddenly stopped with a little confusion, wondering why she stopped halfway?

Kamiri Ayaka stood in front of Ying, as if she was making up her mind. She took a deep breath and said, "Traveler, I have something else I want to do. I would like to borrow some more of your time."

Ying looked at Kamri Ayaka with a puzzled look on her face: "???"
