Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

Looking around the room, no one except Ayaka Kamisato knew how to write about Inazuma.

Fang Xun estimated,

Xiao Linghua probably felt that nothing could be done on a rainy day.

Feeling bored, I hastily made a simple chessboard.

Ningguang and the others were seeing something so strange and unusual for the first time, so their attention was naturally drawn to it.

That's why the sound came from there.

Xiao Linghua looked up at Fang Xun who was walking towards her and happily invited, "Brother Fang Xun, would you like to play chess together?"

"This is a special chessboard for Inazuma. Let me show you how to play!"

On weekdays, Ayaka Kamisato has to face all sorts of tedious and complicated etiquette lessons.

She was only slightly happy when playing chess.

For the little turtle, playing chess is a way to temporarily forget its troubles and steal a moment of leisure from its busy schedule.

She loves playing chess and is very willing to share the game with Fang Xun.

Although he didn't understand the rules of Inazuma's game, Fang Xun felt it should be easy to figure out.

In response, Fang Xun joked, "Little girl, don't cry if you lose later."

Little Linghua let out a disgruntled snort: "Brother Fang Xun, don't underestimate me,"

"I'm really good at chess!"

...

"King's hand~"

"Hehe, Brother Fang Xun, you lost again~"

"Hey, how can you take back a move? Brother Fang Xun, you're cheating!"

Seeing Ayaka's sullen expression, Fang Xun couldn't help but chuckle.

It might feel good to bully children for a moment.

It's so satisfying to keep bullying them.

If a cute little kid isn't meant to be bullied, then it's pointless.

After teasing Ayaka a little, Fang Xun stopped laughing.

He gently patted Linghua's head and then asked softly, "Little girl, you're so good at chess, who taught you to play?"

Without even thinking, the little guy blurted out, "Brother Fang Xun, it was Mom who taught me to play chess!"

"My mom is better at chess than me."

When her mother was mentioned, little Ayaka's big eyes sparkled.

Because in her eyes, her mother was omnipotent.

No matter what dangers she encountered, my mother was able to maintain a calm and composed mindset.

Everyone says that Ayaka's mother is gentle and virtuous.

And that is indeed the case.

Her mother taught little Ayaka many skills and gave her all her tenderness.

...

Something's not right these past couple of days; I've been experiencing writer's block, which is giving me a headache.

Adjust your mindset as soon as possible and update soon.

Don't stay up late, everyone. Staying up late will stunt your growth, just like a demon.

Chapter 111 There is no place for you in this house anymore.

Seeing the happy look on Ayaka's face when she talked about her mother...

Fang Xun felt a mix of emotions.

Because it is clearly explained in Ayaka's backstory,

Ayaka's mother died when she was very young.

After that, Ayaka's carefree laughter was never heard again.

Because without the mother's care and management,

The burden of the Kamisato family then fell on the shoulders of Ayaka and her brother, Ryoto.

A person's life is mostly filled with confusion, with only a few moments of growth.

With their mother's passing, the older brother was overwhelmed with work.

The mischievous and naughty Ayaka also grew into the elegant and noble White Heron Princess overnight.

To outsiders, she is well-spoken and poised.

But no one knew that she had no intention of doing so.

If she could, Ayaka would prefer to be a carefree, ordinary girl.

Life forced her to wear a mask and do things she didn't like.

The passing of her mother shattered the peace of the Kamisato family and also took away Ayaka's happy childhood.

In the game's voice acting, Ayaka Kamisato has a line that goes, "Could I lean on your shoulder for a moment, just for a second?"

This indicates that she has not been happy over the years, and has accumulated a lot of sadness and pressure in her heart.

However, considering her family background, she never showed it and silently processed her negative emotions alone.

Thinking about this, Fang Xun also felt sorry for little Ayaka.

She also shouldered heavy responsibilities for her family from a young age.

The difference between it and condensation is that...

Ningguang works tirelessly to solve her food and clothing needs and to care for her mother.

Ayaka Kamisato, on the other hand, is the head of the Kamisato family, who uphold the entire society, and her every word and action is closely watched.

It must have been a very difficult journey for Ayaka to become the White Heron Princess.

Fang Xun wanted to change all of this.

May Ayaka also have a happy and joyful childhood.

It's good to grow up carefree.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Fang Xun looked at Ayaka Kamisato and said softly, "In that case, Ayaka's mother must have been a wonderful parent as well."

"So, little girl, don't run away from home so easily anymore,"

“Your mother must be very worried about you running away from home... If you have time, spend more time with her.”

There are many things that Fang Xun cannot say directly, so he can only express them in a roundabout way.

Fortunately, although Ayaka is mischievous and naughty, she is also sensible.

She nodded vigorously, then said in a childish voice, "I know, Brother Fang Xun!"

"After I go back this time, I will apologize to my mother properly and then stay by her side!"

The little girl didn't understand Fang Xun's implied meaning.

All she knew was that running away from home this time made her miss her family terribly.

Of course, the so-called missing family members only refers to missing her mother.

There was no intention to bring my older brother along.

Because her older brother, Ayato Kamisato, always liked to tease little Ayaka.

In the little guy's eyes, there's no place for his older brother in this family anymore!

Hmph (。-`ω′-)

After that, Fang Xun also taught the other children the rules of Go from the Inazuma side.

Xiao Ningguang stared intently at the chessboard.

Then she tilted her head back, blinked her big eyes, and said earnestly to Fang Xun, "Brother Fang Xun, it seems that Liyue doesn't have any board games yet."

"Ningguang wants to create a board game called 'Liyue Millennium',"

"Ningguang hasn't figured out the specific gameplay yet, but she already has a clear idea,"

"What do you think about designing every street and every scene in Liyue onto a chessboard?"

Fang Xun was somewhat surprised to hear this.

In the game's backstory, Ningguang did indeed design a board game called 'Liyue Millennium'.

But that was a game Ningguang created to pass the time after she had become incredibly wealthy.

It's surprising that Ningguang already has the initial idea for 'Liyue Millennium'.

In a way, could this be considered the butterfly effect?

The arrival of Ayaka Kamisato brought forward the appearance of the 'Liyue Millennium' by twenty years.

Fang Xun patted Ningguang's head and said with a smile, "Sure, but the rules of 'Liyue Millennium' should be designed to be simple."

"If it's too complicated, many people won't know how to play it."

In the game's storyline, Ningguang's design for the 'Liyue Millennium' game rules was far too complex.

Furthermore, the rules are set by Ningguang herself and are frequently changed.

This has resulted in very few people knowing how to play this game.

Since the game is called 'Liyue Millennium', Fang Xun still hopes that the game rules can be simpler.

Hearing Fang Xun's suggestion, Ning Guang nodded gently: "Okay, then I'll do as Brother Fang Xun said and adjust the game difficulty so that everyone can understand it~"
