Original God, I am the only designated Red King God Envoy of Xumi

Speaking of which, he and Nana Shikano are somewhat related, and he calls Nana Shikano his cousin.

After that came Arataki Ichito, or it would be strange if those who had stayed in Inazuma Castle for a while didn't know him. He was a tall and strong young man from the ghost clan, with a childishness that didn't match his appearance. Although he looked like a fool at first glance, he was surprisingly not annoying.

He leads an organization called "Aratake Faction", which has a very noisy style. It is noisy and often causes trouble. It basically does not make big mistakes but makes small mistakes constantly.

There is also a cat-shaped monster named Kirara Ryo with two tails behind him. He and Amber have a business partner relationship - Kirara Ryo is the gold medal courier of Komagariya, and Komagariya is the courier agency of Inazuma. After the destruction of the national isolation order, Inazuma is now lagging behind other countries in most places, but the courier business has developed very well contrary to the norm.

Ikaros was attracted by Komagariya's business model, and Komagariya also had the idea of ​​developing international express delivery, so the two parties hit it off. Amber worked overtime and came forward to negotiate this cooperation. During this period, she met Kirara Ryo, and their relationship was at the level that Kirara Ryo would nod and say hello to Amber when he saw her on the way to deliver the express.

Finally, there is the energetic blonde girl in front of you. Her name is Yoshimiya, and she is the heir of the Naganohara fireworks shop. If the festival is mentioned in Inazuma, the first people who come to mind are Yoshimiya and Naganohara. Many Inazuma people grew up watching the fireworks in Naganohara. Naganohara has irreplaceable value to them.

Due to Naganohara's important position in the festival, it has a cooperative relationship with the company's magistrate and is also the only official designated fireworks supplier for Inazuma. As for how Yomiuri and Kohaku met, it probably has to do with the common point they both have - they like children.

Xiao Gong is the undisputed king of children in Inazuma City, and in the eyes of the children, Sister Xiao Gong is the omnipotent one. After Amber came to Inazuma City, her patience and gentle nature towards children also made her very popular among the children - Amber thought it was because she always carried a lot of candies, was knowledgeable and had endless stories to tell.

As a result, the two of them met frequently and became familiar with each other.

It should be said that after Amber made some changes to her clothing and daily appearance, the probability of recognizing her identity became very low. It can only be said that fortunately her portrait in the bound volume was of a short-haired style, otherwise it would have been very troublesome.

"You must come when the time comes. This is a rare moment when Naganohara is firing on all cylinders!" Yomiya put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest. She was extremely excited about the festival the day after tomorrow.

"Since we happened to encounter a festival, we should naturally go and participate in it." Amber agreed with a smile. It should be said that they encountered all kinds of things in the past half month, and in less than a month, they had experienced more than half of the various customs of the Inazuma.

"I'm also looking forward to the Inazuma Festival." Nashida folded her hands over her heart, her words full of anticipation, "I heard that people have to wear kimonos at the Inazuma Festival. I'm looking forward to seeing Amber wearing a kimono—"

"Ah..." Amber sighed subconsciously. When did Nashida develop this hobby of changing clothes? The key wasn't changing clothes herself, but watching her change clothes.

"Oh, now that you mention it, I'm kind of looking forward to it. The haori that Amber usually wears is more of a masculine outfit—not that it's inappropriate, it actually looks really good on her, very handsome." Yomiuri leaned forward slightly and circled around Amber twice. "But since we're here at Inazuma, it would be a shame if we didn't wear a kimono at least once."

"Hey Nashida, let me tell you, someone like Amber is only suitable for a black kimono. And with her hair tied up, she'll definitely look great!" Xiao Gong came over to Nashida and squatted down, explaining his understanding to her. Nashida listened attentively, "Ordinary people can't pull off the color black! Only a tall and handsome girl like Amber can truly pull it off."

"Really? I've got that." Nashida nodded. She imagined Amber wearing a black kimono, and for a moment she looked forward to the festival even more.

"...You guys chat first." Amber came to the side helplessly, leaning against the wall waiting for the two to finish talking. Xiaogong was unexpectedly proficient in dressing and introduced a variety of clothes to Nashida. The two chatted for more than ten minutes. In the end, the people from Tianling came to visit, and Xiaogong ended the topic because of the important business.

The visitors were from the fire brigade under the Tenryo Bugyo, who were in charge of firefighting and fire prevention. Their arrival at Naganohara was naturally to remind Xiao Gong in advance to be careful during this festival and not to cause any fire.

"We'll have a chance to talk later - remember to come to the festival!" Before Xiao Gong was pulled back to the Naganohara store, she said goodbye to Amber and the others, and thus the two of them accidentally ended their encounter with Xiao Gong.

"Hmm..." Amber came to Nashida and took her hand. She pondered for a moment.

They originally planned to take a walk in the wilds of Inazuma Castle after lunch, but before leaving Inazuma Castle, they happened to meet Xiao Gong and were told about this matter.

"Then, do we still need to go to the wilderness of Inazuma Castle?" Amber asked Nashida for her opinion, and Nashida shook her head.

"Xiao Gong gave me a coupon for custom-made kimonos from Kokura-ya. It's the festival season now, so coupons are hard to come by. I want to customize a kimono for Amber - just like what Xiao Gong said." Nashida looked at Amber with strong anticipation in her eyes.

"Ah... OK, then I'll take you there?" Amber pondered for a moment and nodded. Ogura-ya is also a very famous shop in Inazuma Castle with a history of more than a hundred years. Now it is passed to the eldest daughter of the Ogura family, Ogura Mio, a young woman with hair as dreamy as cherry blossoms, and her skills in making clothes are impeccable.

"Yeah." Nashida nodded, and the two of them slowly hurried to the small warehouse. On the way, Nashida frequently glanced at Amber. After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to express the doubts in her heart: "Doesn't Amber like being bothered? Before, at Narukami Taisha Shrine - and a few times before, it seemed that Amber was a little unhappy."

"Well..." Amber blinked. She stopped, squatted down facing Nashida, and rubbed her head. "That's because, those times were because other people interfered, and I was more helpless than unhappy."

"If that's what Nacida wants, I'd be happy to wear it for her to see..." Amber stood up with a smile, gently held Nacida's hand and rushed towards the small warehouse again. Nacida was completely relieved now. She still looked at Amber frequently during the way, but her eyes had changed.

Probably because the festival was approaching, there were many people in Kokura-ya choosing kimonos. What you need to know is that it is very expensive to have a kimono custom-made or to buy one directly. In addition, kimonos are usually only worn on important occasions and may not be worn three times a year. Therefore, most people choose to rent rather than buy.

Of course, these are not a problem for Amber. She hasn't cared about Mora's expenses for a long time, although she doesn't have much expenses in her daily life.

The task of entertaining these guests was given to the shop assistant, while Ogura Mio was more busy sorting things. After Nashida showed the kimono customization coupon, Ogura Mio stopped what she was doing and came to entertain the two of them.

"Would you two like to have custom-made kimonos? Calculating the time, it can be completed one day before the festival begins, but the price for custom-made kimonos is very expensive." Ogura Mio introduced Amber and the other two. Amber smiled and nodded, indicating that price was not a problem.

"Then, let's choose some fabrics." Ogura Mio took the two of them to the back of the store where various fabrics were displayed. The variety of fabrics dazzled Nashida for a moment, while Amber observed the various fabrics and looked at Nashida frequently.

"I want this color." Amber finally pointed to a white cloth decorated with bamboo and plum blossoms, and this choice made Nashida's eyes widen.

"Use this cloth to make a kimono for her. As for me..." Amber turned her gaze to the shelves where various kimonos were displayed, which was the corner where people could choose, rent or buy various kimonos. There was a black kimono with red maple leaf patterns on it.

"Hmm..." Nashida understood what Amber meant. There was only one custom-made coupon. Nashida had only considered making a custom-made suit for Amber before, and had not considered much about her own attire for the festival. Amber naturally would not ignore this point, so she chose to spend the custom-made coupon on Nashida.

"White and black—I guess this customer has a really unique taste." Ogura Mio's lips curled slightly. It wasn't a coincidence that the black kimono was placed in the corner. It was because it didn't look good on most people, so naturally, not many people would choose it. But if it were on this customer...

Twenty years ago, the choice of kimono was not so casual. There were many requirements on the color. For example, white was often used for weddings, and black was mourning clothes. But now there is no need to care about these. Just go according to personal preference.

Chapter 100: Remembrance

"Hmm..." With one hour left before the festival officially started, Nashida was struggling with the kimono in the room. She originally wanted to give Amber a surprise and insisted on wearing the kimono alone, but it turned out that she underestimated the difficulty of wearing this dress. This was probably the price of looking good.

In the end, Nashida had to ask Amber for help, and only then did she successfully subdue her. As Amber wrapped Nashida's hair with a hairpin, her outfit for appearing at the ceremony was officially completed.

The white kimono was dotted with bamboo and plum blossoms, and the sash wrapped around the waist was cherry-colored, complementing Nashida's silver hair, making her look like an elf walking out of the snow.

"If it wasn't so troublesome to put on, I would have wanted Nacida to wear it every day." Amber brought Nacida to the floor-length mirror and joked while standing behind her. The mirror reflected Nacida's appearance as well as Amber's.

Black is a color that can easily steal the show, but this does not work on Amber. The black kimono becomes a "leaf" to Amber, and Amber is the flower on the leaf. Her ink-black long hair is tied up, but some of it hangs on one side, which adds a bit of gentleness. It is tied up with a golden hairpin in the shape of a ginkgo leaf, with a small emerald hanging on it.

Amber put on light makeup again. She applied a little powder, which made her complexion look fuller and her lips look a little more attractive. The belt wrapped around Amber's waist was dark gold with ginkgo leaf patterns on it.

"If Amber wants, I'd like to wear it every day." Nashida looked at herself in the mirror, then raised her head and looked at Amber. She stood on tiptoe slightly, and Amber cooperated by leaning forward slightly, and then gave her a kiss as light as a dragonfly touching the water.

"It's going to be very hot. I'm more concerned about Nashida's feelings than whether it looks good or not. You should wear something comfortable and everyday." Amber said, gently holding Nashida's hand. "Next, it's time to participate in the festival. Are you ready?"

"Yeah." Nashida nodded slightly. After getting Nashida's approval, the two of them officially joined the team heading to the festival venue. The festival venue was located on Ganjin Island to the west of the White Fox Wilderness. It was often the designated venue for festivals held in Inazuma Castle. At that moment, the team rushing to Ganjin Island was bustling, and many people were holding various lanterns in their hands. From a distance, it looked like a bond made of light.

Amber Nashida walked slowly beside the team, arm in arm. The light of the lanterns shone on them, making them look like they walked out of a painting, attracting a lot of people's attention.

White and black formed a sharp contrast, tall and petite formed another sharp contrast, all kinds of elements that should have been mutually exclusive appeared on the two people, but at this moment they seemed unexpectedly harmonious. No one disturbed the two of them, and the atmosphere between them made people reluctant to disturb them.

Sporadic fireworks have begun to be set off on Ganjin Island. I think some people brought their own fireworks. The fireworks flew high into the sky and exploded, leaving a gorgeous picture in the sky for a moment, short but brilliant.

The journey didn't take too long, and soon the two arrived at the venue. Various stalls had already been set up there, including traditional games such as ring tossing and goldfish scooping, as well as some newer games introduced from abroad. Amber bought two apple candies from a stall she passed by and handed one to Nashida.

The two of them walked slowly from one end of the venue to the other. Nashida enjoyed the atmosphere of the festival and witnessed all the events. The two of them tried out various small games at the festival. Nashida even fished out two goldfish and planned to raise them in the cave in the box.

Amber saw many familiar faces at the festival, the first of which was the noisy Aratake faction. They set up a small insect fighting arena, which attracted many children and even some playful adults to stop and watch.

After that, it was Ying and Paimon. Beside Ying was a young girl with white hair and a fox mask. Others might not be able to recognize the person behind the mask, but Amber's perception was sharp enough. The person behind the mask was Kamisato Ayaka, the eldest daughter of the shrine magistrate Kamisato family. It was unknown when Ying and her became close enough to come to the festival together.

Amber also saw Xiao Gong, who was distributing firework sticks. Amber and Nashida each received one. Unexpectedly, Amber also saw Zaoyou. She seemed to be forcibly dragged here by Xiao Gong, and she looked like she was forced to do the work, performing her ninjutsu.

As the firework stick was lit, golden sparks danced in the air and illuminated Nashida's cheeks. Nashida stared at the firework stick in a trance, and Amber stared at Nashida in a trance - she looked so attractive at this moment.

As the sky got completely dark, after the fire brigade was ready, the fireworks prepared by the magistrate were set off. For a while, the sound of explosions was endless, and the dark night sky was illuminated brightly. Flowers of light of various colors intertwined and blended in the night, attracting the attention of everyone present.

In order to let Nashida see more clearly, Amber took her to a high place where there were not so many people. Nashida stared at the sky filled with fireworks in a trance, and similar expressions appeared on most people's faces.

"Oh...it's so beautiful." In a secluded corner, a woman with cherry hair and wearing a fox mask sighed, and there was a unique charm in her words.

It was the Son of God. She moved the mask to one side and gently took a bite of the candy apple in her hand. Compared to usual, the Son of God now did not have the pair of narrow fox ears on his head, and he was not wearing the clothes of a priest, but a costume more suitable for a ceremony.

On the day of such a festival, the Naruto-taisha Shrine should have made corresponding arrangements. As the chief priest, Yaegamiko would have been required to dress up and sit under the sacred cherry tree to watch until the end of the festival. But now she happened to appear here.

"I knew that the one in the shrine was not you, Shen Zi." Ying slowly came to Shen Zi's side. She also raised her head and looked at the fireworks that kept exploding in the air. Shen Zi did not show any surprise at Ying's arrival.

"Shouldn't Ying be guarding the castle tower at this time? But he still came to participate in the festival~" Shen Zi waved his hand nonchalantly, took out an apple candy from somewhere, and handed it to Ying's hand.

"After so many years, I wanted to come and see the Inazuma Festival in person." Ying accepted the candy apple. Her words, which used to be somewhat cold, softened now. "This scene brings back some memories."

"If those monsters from hundreds of years ago were still alive, they would probably be excited about a day like this. This is also a rare moment when they can put on masks and openly participate in mortal festivals." There was a hint of reminiscence in Ying's words.

Inazuma is a land where there are many monsters, but the exception is now - the number of monsters in Inazuma is no longer as large as before, and ordinary people rarely see real monsters. The "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" recorded in the book has truly become a legend.

"Oh, and then you caused trouble at the festival because you were drunk? Or you cast a spell in excitement and flew into the air, competing to see who could block out the moon?" The Son of God was dismantling the shadow stage as usual. In the past, the monsters would hold a gathering of hundreds of monsters, and monsters from all walks of life would gather together to drink and chat.

After getting drunk, the monsters, who are free and easy by nature, often use magic to fly into the sky, turning into black smoke, competing to see who can fly higher and who can block out the moon. This scene of hundreds of monsters fighting and covering the sky and the sun has become what mortals call the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.

"That's right... Thinking about it, it's better for the monsters to focus on the monster gathering." Ying pondered for a moment and nodded. As Ying finished speaking, a huge firework rose into the sky. An unprecedented huge flower of light exploded, and then it turned into rain of light, pouring down and burning up before hitting the ground.

This huge firework illuminated the entire Ganjin Island. For a moment, even the bright moon in the sky could not compete with it. Ying and Shen Zi stopped talking at the same time and watched all this in a trance.

After a long time, Ying finally came out of her trance. She closed her eyes and opened them again, and spoke again: "Life is but a dream, and the age of monsters is finally a thing of the past. But now and then I still want to see the scenes of my past memories again - Kitsusai Palace, Yurakusai, Mikoshi Chiyo, Shin, and you as a little fox, along with the other monsters."

"In the past, there would always be banquets at the Fox Palace, and Youlezhai would tell all sorts of strange anecdotes—most of which were made up. You would delight in pointing out the flaws in Youlezhai's stories, and Youlezhai would then offer new explanations, and so on, until everyone couldn't wait to hear the next part."

Rarely, when Ying mentioned Shen Zi as a little fox, Shen Zi did not show any displeasure. She was also immersed in the memory: "Yes, at least once, I also want to see that moonless night and the night parade of a hundred demons again."

"When Kitsunesai-gu stepped forward to deal with the dark disaster that engulfed Inazuma, she was about to leave Narujin Taisha. Before she left, she appointed me as the next chief priest and told me that as chief priest, I could get whatever I wanted."

"Oh~ I was so foolish at that time that I agreed to Kitsune Saimiya and watched her leave Naruto-taisha. It was a long time later that I heard the news that Kitsune Saimiya died in the fight against the Dark Disaster." The Son of God bit the apple candy, and the candy coating broke with a crackling sound.

When the Dark Disaster came five hundred years ago, the barriers of the world were at their weakest, and rolling black filth swept in, polluting most of Inazuma's territory. For a time, plague and monsters were rampant, along with other disasters.

However, Shin and Ying, who were in charge of Inazuma, left Inazuma due to their mission and had no time to extricate themselves. When Inazuma's situation was unprecedentedly serious, Saigū, the leader of the Hakuchen clan at that time, the chief priest of Narugami Taisha Shrine, and the most powerful fox demon in thousands of years, chose to go alone to fight against the dark disaster.

She resisted the erosion of the dark disaster and bought enough time for Inazuma, but she was swallowed by it and disappeared in it.

The air of remembrance filled the air between Ying and Shen Zi. While appreciating the current festival, they also looked back at the past.

“…When she asked me to be the chief priest, she never said that I could only sneak out to watch the festival from now on.”

Today, my younger brother who is in his second year of high school is going home, so the burden of picking him up falls on me since our parents are not available. It is quite far and will take a lot of time. Plus, I haven't seen him for a long time, so I plan to take him to my parents' house and have dinner together. It will take basically the whole day.

It's really hard for high school students nowadays. For example, my younger brother has only been back for two or three days this time. After a rest, he will go back to school for another half a month, and then he will officially have a vacation... for half a month. He will go back to school after half a month, which is equivalent to starting school directly, that is, he will be promoted to the third year of high school. The third year of high school will definitely be busier. I am really worried that he will not be able to bear the pressure or something.

I can only hope that he can keep his composure. Anyway, there will be no update today - July 7th. After picking up my brother, I will spend some time with my family.

Chapter 101: Return

The Inazuma trip ended a few days earlier than expected. After experiencing everything they could see and play in that short period of time, Amber, who had already completed her business, proposed to return to Xumi, which was agreed by Nashida.

Amber originally thought that she would chat with Ying during this month, but surprisingly, she didn't. I don't know what Ying was busy with at Inazuma. She was running around all day. I heard that she also went to Tsurukan Island, which is the closest island to Teyvat on Inazuma's island. It has been judged to be extremely unsuitable for living. I really don't know why Ying went there.

After saying goodbye to Shadow, Amber took Nashida on the return ship. They didn't plan to take the airship back, but wanted to take a good look at the sea view from the ship. So they spent the whole day fishing when they had nothing to do until the ship docked at the port of Ormos.

The two walked along the river from the port of Omos to the city of Xumi, passed Vimalakirti Manor, and came to the vicinity of Tianbi Pool. Here, Amber accidentally met a Lannaro whom she knew, and they chatted for a while.

Langondi is a Lanaro with a classic Lanaro image. Amber met him when he was researching and repairing the Faruna Divine Machine. He provided some help and is one of the Lanaros that Amber is more familiar with.

"Thank you, Nala Amber. Langondi was exploring by following the traces of water, and accidentally got surrounded by the evil mushroom beasts!" Langondi made a dripping sound while walking, which is also an interesting phenomenon that exists in Lanaro.

"It's nothing - how is the situation in Huanalana? And what about Muryuta?" Huanalana is the hometown of the Lannaras. It is now in a dream, and the Lannaras also have a way to travel between dreams and the real world. As for Muryuta, it is the realm of death, and is called Muryuta in the mouths of the Lannaras.

"A group of forest rangers are fighting against the Wuliutuo on the ground. They are powerful, but these are just the tentacles of Wuliutuo. It has been accumulating strength underground." Langondi answered Amber's question. When mentioning the forest rangers, there was some admiration in Langondi's words, but when mentioning the underground, his words were filled with uneasiness.

"By the way, where did Nala Amber and Lord Grass God go? I haven't been able to sense Lord Grass God's presence for a while." Langondi expressed his doubts. "Did they go to another country again?"

"Yes." It was Nashida who responded. After returning to Xumi, Amber changed Nashida and herself back to their normal appearance. "We went to the Kingdom of Thunder this time and met the blonde Nala there. She might be the one Lannara and the others have been talking about."

These words made Langondi's eyes widen, and Amber realized that Lannaro's small black eyes could actually be opened wide.

"Golden Nala?" Rangondi walked to Nashida's side. "Golden Nala left Huanalana. Many moons have risen and set, enough for a small seed to grow into a towering tree. Did he go to the kingdom of thunder?"

Rangundi blinked. “Will he return to Xumi?”

"This shouldn't be the Golden Nala that Langondi and the other Lannaros know, but the Golden Nala's sister." Amber pondered for a moment. "But she's also a good Nala. She'll come to Xumi in the future, and Langondi and the Lannaros will be able to meet her then."

"To roughly estimate the time - it will probably be before this Worry-Free Festival or before the next Worry-Free Festival."

"Golden Nala's sister..." Langondi thought for a moment, "Golden Nala is a good Nala. He taught Lannaros a lot. His sister must be a good Nala as well."

"Goodbye Nala Amber, goodbye Lord Grass God, I have to hurry back to Huanalana and tell the other Lannaras this news." As he said that, Langondi turned around and walked down along the Tianbi Pool, his steps became much more cheerful.

It can be said that Lannaros are really everywhere. After Amber's reputation spread to Huanalana, and they learned about the existence of such a person who had repaired the Faruna Divine Machine, the Lannaros no longer hid when they saw Amber, and some would even come out and say hello openly.

Sometimes I would encounter them when I was strolling in the wild with Nashida. Of course, more often than not, Amber would see some Lanaros in trouble and help them solve the problem.

There are Lannaros that have withered due to lack of energy and remain motionless until they receive new rain and energy. There are also Lannaros that seem to be looking for some materials. There are also Lannaros that are trapped by monsters and cannot leave. Lannaros are not afraid of death - or to some extent they are immortal. Even if they lose their form, they can plant the seeds again, but the Lannaros will forget everything.

If you make friends with Lanaro, you'd better be prepared to be forgotten.

After watching Langondi leave, Amber took Nashida and continued to rush to Xumi City. Compared with the atmosphere in Inazuma City which had just calmed down from the turmoil, Xumi City was as peaceful as ever - as long as those hidden currents were eliminated.

Nearly a month after leaving Xumi, Amber and Nashida returned to their house in Xumi City. Aji and Cole were probably still in school, so the house was empty. Amber took advantage of this time to buy some meat and vegetables, planning to make a sumptuous dinner.

So when Aji and Cole returned home chatting and laughing, they saw Amber and Nashida busy in the kitchen, with tempting aroma wafting from it.

Therefore, tonight's dinner ended with Amber and Nashida talking about their experiences in Inazuma. Aji and Cole were used to the two of them leaving Xumi City and coming back after a while. After one night, their lives in Xumi City returned to normal.

The peaceful days lasted for a full half month. During this half month, Amber was in a state of doing research when she had nothing to do. Apart from this, there was one thing that had to be mentioned - Nashida's initial passionate period finally seemed to have passed, and she finally did not do it so frequently.

This was probably the thing that excited Amber the most. She finally endured it. The situation changed from Nashida having the upper hand most of the time to the two of them winning and losing alternately. Amber concluded that she was so weak before because she was weakened again and again by too frequent requests, which resulted in a serious debuff every time, so she was no match for Nashida at all.

Fortunately, these are now a thing of the past.

Such peaceful days continued until Amber was contacted again. She rushed to the restaurant designated by Elhaisen on a sunny morning. After more than a month, the two met again.

"Recently, there's been a significant gap in the funding flow of the Ministry of the Church." Elhaisen closed the book and chose to get straight to the point. "It seems the God-Creation Project has officially begun. I've conducted a thorough investigation and roughly determined the experimental site."

"Where?" Amber narrowed her eyes slightly. As early as the day she saw the scattered soldiers, she knew that the plan to create a god was about to be put into practice. The only difference was how long she had to wait.
