"Alright, those are just trivial details, don't worry about them. I've said what I needed to say, so I'll be going now. Sakura, you should go home too."
"Um, please wait a moment..."
At that moment, Kinomoto Sakura unexpectedly tugged at Genji's sleeve, a curious expression on her face. She gently poked the air next to Genji and asked, "..."
"Brother Yuanxiang, can I poke it and try it too?"
"of course can."
Gengo chuckled and took out 'Cyclone', summoning its power and slightly increasing the intensity, making Kinomoto Sakura feel as if she were in a small lake of fluorescent light. This action made the child even happier, and she was like a laughing forest sprite, her bright smile seemingly able to make everyone else forget their troubles as well.
"Oh!!"
Seeing Kinomoto Sakura jumping up and down, trying to poke the relatively large glowing object, Gengo casually raised his hand, and a gust of wind lifted the child up. As her fingertips touched the cotton-like texture, Kinomoto Sakura couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"Brother Yuanxiang, I can fly! I can really fly!"
Floating in the air, Sakura Kinomoto danced excitedly, showing her excitement to Gengo, who smiled and said:
"Do you want to fly higher?"
"Huh? Hmm!!!"
Sakura Kinomoto was taken aback at first, then nodded eagerly. She then saw Gengo take out the Lost Driver, press 'Cyclone', and transform into Kamen Rider. He then flicked his finger in the air and upwards, and a gust of wind suddenly burst forth, carrying the two of them into the sky.
"Wow...that's amazing!!"
Looking down from the sky, everything seemed so small, and the thick, white clouds no longer seemed so far away. A cool sensation made Sakura Kinomoto shiver. Suddenly, she remembered what her father had said: that when flying on a cloudy day, you would see an incredibly bright sun the moment you broke through the clouds; the world above and below the clouds was like two completely different worlds.
Hmm... It's a pity the weather is so nice today. Oh well, never mind. I'll ask Yuanxiang-gege for help again when it's cloudy next time. He shouldn't refuse. Of course, I should also make some good food to thank Yuanxiang-gege.
While Sakura Kinomoto was having a great time playing in the wind, Gengo rubbed his forehead, looking a bit of a headache. He had just wanted to go to the 'Library' of this world to investigate and see if he could find any information about the bespectacled figure. After completing the connection, he immediately felt the same resistance he had encountered when entering the 'Library' in Mondstadt.
However, that was insignificant. The most crucial issue was that when I finally reached the 'door,' I was shocked to find that I couldn't push it open, as if something was blocking my way from behind. This situation was truly...
What Gensou didn't know was that after he left, the figure wearing round-framed glasses and a floor-length black robe quietly opened the 'door,' looked at his back with a surprised expression, and then disappeared, as if he shouldn't have appeared in the first place.
"Alright, Sakura, go down now. If you don't go back soon, I think your family will worry."
The joy of flying is immense, especially since it's not restricted by any equipment and allows for free movement in the air. So even alone, Kinomoto Sakura was having a blast there, and after hearing Gengo's words, the child's face was filled with 'nostalgia'.
"There will be plenty of opportunities to come up and play."
Yuanxiang rubbed her little head and said with a smile, "I have to say, it feels really good. You can feel how smooth it is even through the reinforced skin. I couldn't help but rub it a couple of times."
"Next time, let's invite Tomoyo, or some other friends, to come and play together."
"Okay, it's a date then!"
"Ah, it's arranged."
Gengo hooked his little finger around Sakura Kinomoto's and pulled it back and forth. Then he grabbed her wrist and descended from the sky, deactivating his transformation. After saying goodbye to the child, he returned to the agency.
Then....
Nothing else happened that night, and Gensou had a peaceful night. The next morning, he yawned, bought some peaches, put them on the table, and then turned his body left and right as if it were his morning exercise. At this moment, he heard the sound of the door being opened. He bent down and looked back and saw Yagami Hayate lying down.
"That's more like it. You can stand up quickly, so why suffer like that?"
Seeing that Hayate Yagami's legs were intact, Gengo straightened up, turned around, and gestured for Hayate Yagami to sit down before continuing:
"Why did you come so early in the morning? Is there something you want to ask me to do?"
"Hehe, it's nothing, I just came to check on you. Yuanxiang-gege, haven't you eaten yet?"
Hayate Yagami tilted his head back and looked towards the kitchen, then enthusiastically rolled up his sleeves and said happily:
"In that case, let Hayate show Gensou-nii a thing or two!"
"No, no need."
"Eh~~~Why?!"
The unexpected refusal made Hayate Yagami's eyes widen slightly, and he said urgently:
"My skills are very good, after all, I've been practicing since I was a child."
"From what you're saying, it sounds like you're already in your twenties."
Yuanxiang, holding a water glass, leaned against the table and said with a smile:
"But you can't cook without rice. My refrigerator is empty. Can you make me some stewed peaches? No thanks, it won't taste right."
"Huh? Empty?"
This answer startled Hayate Yagami for a moment. Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, the boy pulled out his wallet, looked at Genji, and said:
"How about borrowing Gale first... ah, no, that... that..."
Seeing Yagami Hayate struggling to find the right words to both protect her pride and get the money, Gengo sighed deeply, walked over, and lightly flicked her forehead, saying irritably:
“Your brother Yuanxiang isn’t that poor. I’m just lazy.”
"In that case, I will..."
"No, it's not necessary."
Gengo naturally knew that Hayate Yagami wanted to take on this task, so he refused the suggestion without hesitation, saying:
“I’m used to living alone, and I like to do everything myself regarding the affairs of this firm. Hayate, you know that animals like tigers and lions have a sense of territory, and I have a similar feeling about this place. It’s fine for anyone to come and play or stay, but if you take away these daily affairs as well, I will feel uneasy. I will feel that the connection between this place and me will slowly be severed. So, I know that you mean well, Hayate, but I really can’t accept this kind of good intention.”
Gengo's candid words startled Hayate Yagami. At that moment, he finally understood why Nanoha often complained that Gengo didn't eat breakfast properly, bought the same clothes, and would just change into a new one when they got dirty, leaving a pile of dirty clothes before washing them... But it was just a complaint, because the boy in front of him didn't like to ask others to handle these things for a long time.
That's quite a strange habit.
Hayate Yagami couldn't help but think this way, but she nodded in understanding and sat down to chat casually with Genji. She also talked about the situation of the "Book of Night Sky". Because of the internal battle, even though the Book of Night Sky looks intact on the surface, the program inside is still a mess. Linfus has been having a terrible headache because of this.
This is understandable.
Yuanxiang nodded sympathetically. He also knew some programmer friends. Although their jobs were different, he figured they must all have it tough.
After chatting for a while about everyday things and Gensou's current health, Hayate Yagami left the agency. After all, she had now transferred to Fuuto's school and was in the same class as Nanoha, so she had to pick up her studies and do some pre-reading so that she wouldn't fall behind when school started.
...............
Hmm... why haven't any memory monsters appeared yet?
Sitting in his office, staring at the forum, Genji let out a sigh of boredom. Suddenly, he heard a scream, and that sound…
"Help! Help! Someone please save Klee!!"
Klee?!
Yuanxiang's eyes widened suddenly, and he rushed toward the glowing door. Just as he pushed the door open, a sharp stone came crashing down, leaving a thin, long cut near Yuanxiang's eye.
The boy casually touched his eyes to avoid getting blood in them and obstructing his vision. Looking around, he easily spotted Klee crouching nearby, covering her head, and the rocks hurtling towards her.
Without hesitation, Genji channeled the power of "Cyclone" into his body, summoning a gust of wind to throw away all the falling rocks. Only after confirming that nothing else would fall from above did he deactivate his transformation, patting Klee on the shoulder and saying:
"It's alright now, Klee."
"Huh? Eh! Gengo-nii, did you save Klee?!"
When the little fairy looked up and saw Gensou, she jumped up happily and said, "I love you!" But when she saw the wound at the corner of Gensou's eye, she lowered her head sadly, clasped her hands behind her back, and gently swayed her body, saying:
"I'm sorry, Genji, because Klee hurt you..."
"This injury is nothing, but what's Klee doing here?"
Gensou waved his hand, then looked at the cave and asked in confusion. Klee, however, became excited upon hearing this, jumping up and down and raising her hands, saying:
"A few days ago, Klee meticulously planned a grand adventure before her birthday! First, she'll sneak away while Jean is working~"
As she spoke, Klee bent over and pretended to sneak up.
"Then, you have to run to a place where she can't find you!"
Klee straightened up again, pacing in place, and said to Genji as she ran:
"So, Klee ran and ran, and in a big cave she found an incredible giant lizard!"
After saying that, Klee took out a scale-like object from her bag and handed it to Genji. This must be the spoils of war she got after defeating the giant lizard.
"And then, Klee got really excited about her birthday, but it seems she went too far... Jean will definitely be angry if she finds out."
At this point, Klee's expression suddenly darkened. She gripped the straps tightly with both hands, and fearfully lowered her head, drawing circles on the ground with her shoes.
"Unless... unless Klee goes home on her birthday. Jean probably won't be angry because it's Klee's birthday, so Klee quickly runs back, and then... then... somehow she ended up here, and there's a big lizard in here too, and Klee just keeps exploding and exploding!!"
Klee shouted and mimed throwing a bomb, then lowered her head dejectedly and whispered:
"And then, Klee blew the giant lizard away, but then rocks started falling from the sky. Klee tried to run too, but she tripped and fell. If it weren't for Genji coming... Waaah~ Klee was so scared..."
You're such a naughty kid...
Gensho gently held the still-frightened Klee, comforting her while also letting out a sigh. He now roughly understood the feelings of that harp leader.
"Alright, Klee, let me take you home now."
Gensou adjusted Klee's hat and said with a smile:
"Very quickly, in a flash, I can send you back to Mondstadt."
"Really?! That's amazing!! Wait, wait, wait, it can't just disappear in a flash!!"
Klee hurriedly waved her hands and said:
"It's not Klee's birthday yet. If we rush back, Captain Jean will punish us. So, Genji, please, let's go back slowly, okay? Please, Klee, please~~"
184 Liyue
Since she had made the request, and because Klee was so cute, Gengo agreed to her request and led the bouncy child away from the cave. According to Klee, she had come in from the other side, but because of the explosion, that passage had collapsed, so Gengo gave up on returning the way he came.
After emerging, they found themselves in a valley. Not far away was a Hilichurl camp, but due to the tremors from the cave collapse, the Hilichurls in that camp had been frightened away and fled somewhere. A few Ice Slimes were still leisurely wandering around in front of the camp, but Gensou easily defeated them with a Wind Blade. Klee then excitedly ran over, took out a few gel-like things, and put them in her backpack, saying that they could be used to make new bombs.
Further ahead lies the spectacular "One Line Sky," a narrow passage between closely packed mountains, just wide enough for people to pass through. Standing in this narrow passage, the majestic scenery previously obscured by the mountains comes into view. In the distance, layers upon layers of peaks and several suspension bridges connect a few isolated peaks in the light mist, exuding a mysterious sense of isolation from the world, just like a fairyland.
However, compared to the distant mountain peaks, the large tree not far to the left was more eye-catching. It was quite huge, with the top of the tree almost as tall as the mountain next to it. The lower part of the tree crown had pale yellow leaves, while the upper part had bare branches that looked like ice sculptures. Upon closer inspection, the tree trunk also had deep blue patterns.
"Brother Yuanxiang".
At this moment, Klee gently tugged at Genji's hand, her tone full of impatience. However, what she was interested in was not the peculiar tree, but the small pond next to it.
"There's a fish!"
Klee clenched her little fists and lightly stomped her feet. Genji looked inside and indeed saw fish swimming around. When he looked back at Klee, the child had already taken out a bomb and said with shining eyes:
