I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

Klee excitedly released Genji's arm, then, holding up a bomb she'd somehow produced, happily exclaimed:

"This new design that Klee just came up with not long ago can be given to Gengo-nii to play with!"

"...Your younger sister has unique tastes."

Tongque looked at Yuanxiang with a subtle expression and said with a light laugh, "To be honest, I've met many kids. Some like making money, some like the law, some like pulling people to sell coffins... but I've never seen anyone who likes to study bombs."

"In a sense, she is also a genius."

Genji used the excuse that it was inconvenient to carry the bomb on his person to get Klee to put it away. Then, he patted the little guy's head and smiled as he answered. At the same time, hearing someone praise her, Klee also cooperated by putting her hands on her hips, puffing out her little chest, and showing a very proud expression, saying:

"Klee is the smartest!"

"That's right, Klee is a genius."

Genjiro, amused by Klee's antics, laughed heartily and continued praising her. Looking at the brother and sister who were clearly not related by blood, Dōjaku also smiled kindly, then waved and said:

"But even a genius can't just run around like that. Come on, let's leave this place first. This area of ​​Minlin is still infested with monsters, it's not a place to stay for long. This way, please."

Well, this Tongque was surprisingly easy to get along with. Although Yuanxiang sensed a sense of vicissitude that he usually only felt in old men, he decided to let go of such minor details for now.

And so, the three of them continued on their journey. Along the way, Genshou discovered the camps of monsters that had been destroyed, which it seemed that the Yaksha had taken down as he traveled.

"......"

"Uncle Tongque, what's wrong?"

After crossing a river, Copper Sparrow suddenly became quiet and withdrawn, looking very downcast, as if he were reminiscing about something. Even Keli noticed his unusual behavior, ran to his side, looked up at him, and asked, while also holding out the flower she had just picked by the roadside to Copper Sparrow:

"These are the most beautiful flowers that Keli thinks she has seen along the way. She is giving them to Uncle Tongque in the hope that they will cheer him up."

"Thank you, Cleo. Actually, I'm not sad, it's just that every time I pass by here, I can't help but think of what happened in the past."

Tongque took the flower, then tucked it behind Keli's ear, and said with a gentle smile:

"Time flies so fast. A thousand years seem like yesterday. Young man, would you like to hear the stories of this land?"

Tongque noticed Yuanxiang's curiosity, smiled, and then patted the broken stone tablet beside him, saying softly:

"This place is now called Guili Plain. Thousands of years ago, many, many people lived here. Under the protection of Lord Dust God and Lord Rock God, they lived a carefree life, and everything was so prosperous."

"But soon, war broke out, demons rose up, and the land of Guili, located in the center, possessing fertile land and protected by two gods,..."

"However, the pursuers arrived soon after. Those evil demons intended to slaughter all the people of Guili. Just then, a guest from afar stopped them. This guest was clad in black armor and claimed to have been entrusted by the God of Dust to protect the people of Guili. He fought the pursuers north of Tianheng, covered in blood but not retreating an inch, his unparalleled prowess striking fear into the hearts of the demons..."

"and then?"

At this point, Bronze Sparrow suddenly stopped, prompting Klee, who had been listening with great interest, to urge him to continue. However, Bronze Sparrow looked sorrowful and waved his hand, as if he didn't want to continue. Although Klee was very curious about what would happen next, she didn't ask any further questions.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue; Tongque simply couldn't. He had no recollection of the guest at all. He had only heard about it from others, even the story of the guest saving his life afterward. Tongque himself had absolutely no memory of it, as if he had never seen the man before. Tongque had originally only wanted to tell these two children stories to prevent history from being completely forgotten, but now... what right did he have to recount the past to others?

"Do you see that tree?"

At this moment, Tongque pointed north, pointing to the extremely tall trees that resembled buildings, and said:

"That's Wangshu Inn. Almost everyone traveling north or south passes through there. Why don't you rest there for a bit and ask for directions? I think we've hit it off. Show this to the innkeeper, and she'll take care of you. Don't worry about the cost. I... I'll be going now. I need to find a quiet place..."

"and many more."

Seeing the jade pendant handed to him by Tongque, Yuanxiang stopped Tongque, who was about to leave, and said in a deep voice:

"Although I do not know your background, I hope that Mr. Tongque can adjust his mindset. Your current state is truly worrying."

Although it sounded like he was talking without understanding the situation, Tongque's current state was strikingly similar to his own when he was on the verge of a mental breakdown. So, after much consideration, he decided to chime in anyway. Of course, to prevent the topic from getting off-topic and ruining the atmosphere, Yuanxiang immediately added:

“There’s one more thing. Klee and I once encountered a strange incarnation under a peculiar tree. She said that the evil dragon suppressed under the tree was about to awaken and return. And, if I’m not mistaken, that incarnation should be the dragon’s clone.”

"Is that so?!"

Upon hearing this, Tongque was greatly surprised. If he remembered correctly, Yuanxiang was referring to the 'Subduing Dragon Tree' at the South Heavenly Gate, which suppressed the Ruotu Dragon King, whose strength was comparable to that of the Rock King Emperor. If it was truly about to break free, it would undoubtedly be a huge disaster.

"Thanks for reminding me, I'll be going now."

Therefore, Tongque quickly cheered himself up and, after saying goodbye to Keli in Heyuan Township, hurriedly left.

"Brother Yuanxiang, where are we going next?"

Klee looked up at the bright sun that was shining overhead, then shook her backpack, took Gensou's hand, and asked softly.

"Then let's go check out Wangshu Inn."

Yuanxiang pointed to the inn built on the big tree and said with a smile, "To be honest, this otherworldly scenery gives me a sense of ease, like I'm traveling. Before, when I was in the Earth Library, I also looked up my own information. Although it was just text, it recorded my life experiences in detail. So even though I don't have memories of the past, I still have a general impression of what I did in the past."

Therefore, Gengo can say with certainty that he has never traveled. When his parents were alive, his activities were limited to his home and school. After leaving Fuuto to go to other places, he would go to catch up with the 'museum' or 'corporation X'. He was almost constantly busy with these things, and as soon as he finished, he would rush back to Fuuto to prepare to beat up the monsters.

Well, it's no wonder some people like to travel; seeing different scenery definitely lifts one's spirits, but...

Yuanxiang thought back to his own place, and at least from what he knew, if he went to those tourist attractions, most of the time it would be either crowded with cars or crowded with people. Just thinking about that scene made Yuanxiang lose interest.

"Brother Yuanxiang?"

"Oh, sorry, I was just thinking about something."

Gensou waved to Klee and said with a smile:

"Let's go, I wonder what the view will be like from that tree."

It was clear that Klee was also very interested in the inn built on the giant tree. When she passed by the water, she stopped thinking about frying fish. Instead, she ran forward with her arms outstretched like airplane wings, shouting "da da da da". After running for a while, she stopped. Even though there was no obstacle between her and Gensou, she still tried her best to stand on tiptoe and wave to the boy, urging him to catch up.

Upon closer inspection, Yuanxiang discovered that the inn was actually built against the mountainside. The tree canopy they saw from afar, which obscured the house, was actually a large tree rooted on the mountaintop. Although the trunk was not small, it was much smaller than they had imagined.

After officially entering the territory of Wangshu Inn, a waiter came up to ask if they were there for lodging or a meal. After learning that Yuanxiang wanted to see the owner, he led them to the top floor of Wangshu Inn in a lift-like car. There, Yuanxiang finally met a pedestrian dressed in Mondstadt.

"Hello, could you tell me where the owner of Wangshu Inn is?"

Gensou pulled Klee forward and asked, while the woman who had been called upon paused slightly, then smiled and pointed to herself, saying:

"My name is Philgoldette, and I'm the owner of Wangshu Inn. May I ask how I can help you, sir?"

"That's right, Mr. Tongque has asked us to seek your help."

As Yuanxiang spoke, he took out the jade pendant and showed it to Philgoldette:

"Could you point us in the direction of Mondstadt? I need to take this child home."

After speaking, Gensou saw the female boss's gaze sweep over him and Klee. Her sharp eyes, which seemed to see right through the two of them, made Gensou frown uncomfortably. This Phil Goddette didn't seem to be entertaining guests; she seemed to be scrutinizing them.

"I'm sorry, although there are many people coming and going at Wangshu Inn, I have never seen such a profound and steady temperament as yours. I was just curious for a moment, and I apologize for any offense I may have caused."

Sensing Gensou's displeasure, Philgotette quickly explained, then made a few instructions to the waiter beside her before turning to Gensou again and saying:

"Since you are Mr. Tongque's guest, we must treat you well. Please find a place to sit down. Our shop will prepare some special dishes to ensure that you and this young lady enjoy your meal. Don't worry about the cost; as long as you are satisfied, it will be our honor."

"No need, Mr. Tongque is just..."

"Gurgle..."

Gensho didn't want to use Tongque's money to enjoy the dishes, but before he could finish speaking, Klee's stomach rumbled. The child blushed, clutched her stomach, looked at Gensho, and stubbornly said:

"It's not Klee!"

'Gurgle~~~~'

Well, this stomach growl even had a unique melody, making it clear to everyone. Now, Klee really couldn't hide it anymore.

"Let's skip the specialty dishes, we'll just find a table and order whatever we like."

Yuanxiang sighed inwardly, intending to write down the amount of money so he could repay it in the future. After all, Mr. Tongque was just a casual acquaintance, and he didn't really want to owe him this favor.

.......

"Sweet Flower-Stuffed Chicken, Northern Smoked Chicken, Golden Shrimp Balls, Crystal Shrimp, Butter Matsutake Mushrooms..."

Don't misunderstand, this wasn't the dish Yuanxiang or Keli ordered. It was the girl at the next table who ordered it for them after they sat down. The girl was quite peculiar; her pupils seemed to have plum blossom markings. She had reddish-brown gradient twin ponytails, wore a Chinese-style dress with patterns and a long hem, the hem of which featured spider lilies and lilies. She wore a Qiankun Tai Gua hat with a black bow at the back and a plum blossom on the side. She wore shorts, socks, and black shoes, and had red knots tied around her legs.

The girl sitting opposite her was even more peculiar, wearing a red ceremonial crown that covered her waist-length coral hair, with white antlers that gradually turned yellow extending outwards from both sides of her head.

The girl was dressed very scantily, with her waist and legs completely exposed. A red and white striped scarf connected to a red top, and a red round scarf tied over a black skirt, with a yellow bow on the left side. Her arms were covered by white arm protectors with red fixed armor, and there were a few white scales on the backs of her hands and sides.

Just then, the two girls were arguing, seemingly because the girl with plum blossom eyes had ordered too much and too expensive food. Their strange wording made Yuanxiang secretly smile. But just as Yuanxiang was about to order, he suddenly felt a strange wind, causing him to look up. He saw the masked boy sitting on the eaves, his eyes filled with complex emotions—a mixture of familiarity and complete unfamiliarity…

186 Traveler, is this really going to give me a bath?

"With such delicious food before us, why not savor it more?"

"But we can't order this much! Can we even finish it?"

"Oh dear, what are you saying? If you can't finish it, just pack it up and take it with you. It's perfect for a midnight snack since the main boss is busy at Wuwang Slope today."

.......

The two girls at the next table were still arguing about ordering food, while Yuanxiang stared at the masked boy sitting on the roof. Although he looked young, anyone who had met him and seen his sharp, knife-like eyes would know that he was a ruthless character.

Therefore, seeing the masked boy looking in his direction like this, and with Klee beside him, Genji was genuinely uneasy, and his expression became much more serious.

But the masked boy's figure vanished immediately, disappearing like the wind. Yuanxiang couldn't help but scratch his chin, feeling that this inn was becoming increasingly mysterious.

"Oh, what a cute little girl."

At this moment, the girl with plum blossom eyes at the next table seemed unwilling to continue arguing with her companion, so she steered the conversation towards Gensou. Meanwhile, Klee, who had ordered the dishes she wanted to try and was playing with her teacup, pointed blankly at herself and whispered:

"Is my sister talking about Klee?"

"That's right, that's right, this hall master is here... oh dear, oh dear..."

The girl with plum-blossom eyes greeted Klee with a cheerful smile, but her expression froze when she saw Genji's face clearly. She then stood up, looked at Genji with great interest, and, stroking her chin, said softly:

"Unbelievable, unbelievable, truly unbelievable! This face... Young man, why don't you come to our Funeral Hall and pre-book a funeral package? Judging from your appearance, it seems you don't have many days left to live. If you book now, you'll not only enjoy a 20% discount, but you'll also receive a free funeral piece personally played by the hall master!"

"Ugh~!!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanxiang was stunned. Having lived this long, he really...

"Sister, don't talk nonsense! Gensou-nii won't die! Gensou-nii, spit with Klee! Kaeya-nii said that if you spit like that, bad luck will run away!"

"Hu Tao! Can't you just behave yourself?!"

As Klee was pulling Gengo along, trying to get him to say "Pui pui pui" like she did, the antler-wearing girl walked over with a headache and tapped the plum-blossom-eyed girl on the head, then looked at Gengo and said:

"I'm sorry, but my companion just likes to talk nonsense. If you want to sue her, you can come to me for legal aid, and I'll give you a 10% discount."

"Yanfei, did I break the law?"

Hu Tao stared wide-eyed at the antler-wearing girl, Yan Fei, and said incredulously:

"I'm just trying to drum up business!"
