Genshin Impact: I'm just a mortal

Chapter 226: Chapter 225: It’s All Fate



After a long while, Kokomi slowly raised her hand, and her fingertips touched the bones.

In the next moment, a faint light flickered from the bones.

Kokomi's vision blurred for a moment, and it was as if she saw a scene from the past.

"Baal, this is my only request."

"My fate is already sealed, and it cannot be changed. I only hope that my people can live well. If possible, I hope you can grant them your protection."

"Let me die by that 'Musou no Hitotachi,' at least it is better than dying at an unknown time."

"If my people momentarily harbor hatred toward you, please do not take offense. Give them a chance. They are kind-hearted children, and I believe they will understand in time."

"I beg of you, Baal."

A long, lingering voice echoed in Kokomi's mind, fading away along with the scene she had witnessed.

At this moment, the truth from the past revealed itself in the minds of every citizen of the Watatsumi Island.

On the Watatsumi Island, everyone stood frozen, looking toward the direction of Yashiori Island, unmoving, as if they had turned into statues.

"Lord Orobashi..." Kokomi gazed at the skeleton before her, her pupils trembling slightly.

Suddenly, a thunderclap echoed from the sky, and the dark clouds thickened further.

"It looks like it's going to rain soon. Let's take shelter from the rain, Kokomi,. reminded Yuxie, who stood nearby.

Kokomi took a deep breath, a relieved smile appearing on her lips. "Mmm."

Soon, raindrops began to fall.

Under the soft rain, the flowers and plants on Yashiori Island soaked in the rain, swaying gently in the breeze.

Under the eaves of an abandoned house, Yuxie and Kokomi sat side by side, gazing through the rain at the hazy scenery of Yashiori Island in the downpour.

The rain grew heavier, with large raindrops falling relentlessly.

"It looks like this rain won't stop anytime soon," Kokomi said, watching the rain.

"Hopefully it stops before nightfall. Otherwise, we'll have to head back in the rain," Yuxie replied.

Hearing this, Kokomi suddenly froze for a moment. She slowly turned her head to look at Yuxie, and at the same time, she felt a strange but comforting atmosphere.

"If we head back in the rain, we might catch a cold."

"Then let's pray the rain stops soon," Yuxie said with a helpless smile.

"Mmm." Kokomi nodded.

But for some reason, at that moment, Kokomi found herself wishing the rain wouldn't stop so quickly.

She knew this thought was strange, as if she wanted to spend more time alone with Yuxie. She tried to control herself from thinking this way, but it seemed futile.

Sometimes, fate really does arrive at just the right moment.

Like today, when Kokomi came to Yashiori Island alone. Most of the time, she actually preferred to be alone in peace, but there were times when she wished for someone to be by her side, and today was one of those moments.

And then, Yuxie appeared, neither too early nor too late.

Perhaps this is what people call "fate."

It seemed as though the heavens had sensed the thoughts deep within Kokomi's heart, as the rain grew heavier.

Yuxie and Kokomi sat under the eaves, listening to the sound of the raindrops.

The two of them talked about some mundane matters, and Kokomi inexplicably felt a sense of relaxation, as if the energy within her was gradually recovering.

Gradually, the rain stopped.

The dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and the evening glow began to shine from the horizon. It was only then that they realized it was already dusk.

"The rain has stopped. Looks like it's time for us to head home," Kokomi stood up and said slowly.

"Yeah, it's getting late, we should head back," Yuxie replied. "Be careful on the way."

"Thank you, Yuxie."

"Thank what?" Yuxie was a bit confused by Kokomi's sudden gratitude.

"Anyway, thank you. Talking to you made me feel really relaxed," Kokomi smiled gently. "See you next time."

With that, Kokomi turned and began walking away.

Yuxie didn't notice, and even Kokomi herself wasn't fully aware, but in her turn, there was a hint of reluctance.

The rain stopped before it got dark, and then they both went their separate ways.

That was only natural. How could the weather change just because of a small wish?

There are no such coincidences; it is all destined.

......

"Sister, are you alright?" Ei asked worriedly, concerned about the situation.

"I'm fine," Makoto smiled and shook her head. "After all, I am a Archon of Inazuma."

"Why didn't you reveal the truth to every citizen of Watatsumi Island earlier, using the remaining power of Orobashi?"

"According to Orobashi' words back then, if a person doesn't experience some upheavals, how would they learn to cherish the present?" Makoto gazed out the window, smiling faintly.

.......

When he returned to the residence, the sky had already darkened.

Although it wasn't very late, Yu Xie had a strange, uneasy feeling.

Every time he came back late, he always had this premonition.

The hallway after the corner was the only way to his room, and sure enough, after turning the corner, he ran into kitsune Saiguu.

kitsune Saiguu was standing under the eaves, seemingly having anticipated that Yu Xie would return at this time, and was waiting there.

"This rain today reminds me of the day we first met," kitsune Saiguu spoke first. "I was thinking of asking you to watch the rain together, but you weren't here."

"I just went to take a stroll around Yashiori Island," Yu Xie replied.

"Just a simple stroll?" kitsune Saiguu turned to look at Yu Xie, suspicion in her eyes.

"Of course, just happened to meet a friend," Yu Xie responded. "Then it started raining, so I had to wait with that friend until the rain stopped before coming back."

"I see..." kitsune Saiguu took a step forward, slowly closing the distance. Then, her expression suddenly turned very aggrieved. "It's fine, but I wonder if Miss Shenhe and Miss Rosalyne would be upset if they knew."

"..." Yu Xie felt a bit helpless. He still didn't quite know how to respond to kitsune Saiguu's teasing.

"There are three beautiful women waiting for you at home, yet you still like to smell the flowers outside," kitsune Saiguu said, looking very pitiful.

"This fox lady..."

"Calling me 'fox lady' sounds so distant," kitsune Saiguu said, adding even more pout to her expression.

"How about I make it up to you?" Yu Xie said without thinking, the words slipping out of his mouth.

"Great! How are you going to make it up to me?" kitsune Saiguu's expression shifted from one of grievance to bright anticipation, her clear eyes full of hope.

"You want... how should I make it up to you?" Once the words were out, they were like water spilled, and Yu Xie had no choice but to go along with it.

"Later... I'll come to your room to find you," kitsune Saiguu said, looking into Yu Xie's eyes, speaking seriously yet with a hint of shyness.
