Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

When spring comes next year, Maplehara Manyo's father is about to recover from his illness.

Rina found something to do on her own - learning some simple work from a carpenter.

No, if I had to say it, she actually wanted to use the wood that she and her new friends had worked hard to obtain, carve out the most unique gift box, and hold her most unique knotted gift.

——That’s how it should be.

The result was obvious. The little monster turned to Yae Shenzi, who was omnipotent in her eyes.

Then the other party was so annoyed that he grabbed her by the back of her neck and dropped her at the door of a carpenter's house.

Rina watched helplessly as Tan Fox covered her lips and chuckled, then chatted with the carpenter for a while, and finally added: "Then I'll leave this kid to you, sir."

The fox is gone.

Rina was left at the carpenter's house to learn woodcutting techniques from him.

Good news: Rina has company. In addition to Arataki Ito who comes to care for her from time to time, she also met another friend named Yonomiya.

Bad news: Arataki Ito can only provide emotional value, but Xiaomiya learns crafts with her, but the other person's craftsmanship is much better than hers. Even at such a young age, Xiao Gong can actually make fireworks.

Not Rina.

In contrast, her woodcut box has yet to be found.

Rina: "..."

Rina was very frustrated. After her carpenter once again pointed out that there was something wrong with the way she held the knife when carving, Rina completely withered.

She returned to her original form, flew to the eaves in despair, and then unreasonably squeezed the aborigines in the bird's nest, and pointed a few strands of blue bird tail feathers at them, her desire to escape began. It can be seen.

And her current friends——

Except for Maplehara Manyo who had not been together for a long time because she had to take care of her father, the other two people were present.

Arataki Yidou stood under the bird's nest, scratching his head, a little confused.

"I said Rina, what's wrong with you?" He said carelessly, not yet realizing the reason for the little monster's frustrated mood.

The small Xiaogong stood next to the tall ghost clan, looking at his monster friend raising his blue-feathered bird butt, and suddenly realized something.

Yae Rina didn't know what the two people discussed. All in all, after a moment, there was something unspeakable coming from behind.

There were rustling sounds, and when she finally couldn't help but look back, she was almost frightened by the scene in front of her.

Two faces that were really huge for a little bird were so close to her.

Xiaomiya lay on the back of Arataki Ito, grabbing the red horns of the ghost clan with both hands to control the balance. The two heads, one big and one small, were stacked on top of each other, and then they looked at her with burning eyes.

Rina: "..."

Xiaomiya blinked: "Rina, don't be sad, we can learn slowly together."

The head under the Xiao Palace smiled heartlessly: "Yes, Rina, there is nothing to be frustrated about. It's just that the learning progress is slow, but it's not that there is no progress."

"If you really can't make a gift box, then just, just... let's just use another method to make one!"

Most friendships among children are like this.

Friends are willing to do some seemingly insignificant but meaningful things together for you.

Rina was moved and flew down with fluttering wings.

The bird turned back into a short girl.

The girl stood on the ground and looked up——

Good guy.

She asked why Arataki Yidou suddenly became as high as the eaves.

It turned out that he stepped on the ladder.

"...Thank you." Yae Rina sniffed, her blue eyes filled with tears of emotion.

Xiao Gong reached out and touched her head.

"It's okay." Although they look like children of about the same age, she has already mastered the tricks of comforting others. "Dad and I also experienced a lot of setbacks when we were learning to make fireworks."

"I really want to make fireworks right away that will make my dad full of praise, but it's really difficult." Xiao Gong shook his hair, "In short, whether it's fireworks or wood carvings, take your time."

"And I think that even if the final product is really not pretty... Rina, your feelings will not be denied just because of the appearance of the gift box."

Yae Rina announced that at this moment, Yonomiya is her best friend.

Good friends talk so nicely, hehe.

As Yae Miko said, Yae Rina will be sad about something for a short time, but nothing will stay in her heart for too long.

Maybe it's because she hasn't grown into a mature monster yet, so she has the characteristics of a human child; or maybe it's because of the nature of her race.

He is a monster after all.

If the monster's emotions are too deep, it will only cause some kind of harm in the future, which is not good. Just like...the original agreement.

*

Accompanied by Arataki Yito and Xiaomiya, Yae Rina finally succeeded in learning.

——She made a surprisingly good gift box.

Purely handmade, made of maple wood, with bird feather patterns carved by Rina one stroke at a time.

She used the remaining maple wood to strike while the iron was hot, and carved several different ornaments for Arataki Itto and Yonomiya.

The gift for Arataki is a calf that he carefully carved, while the gift for Yonomiya is a beautiful wooden candy box.

"I didn't expect that I could get a second gift. Rina is indeed my favorite friend!" Arataki Yidou was particularly proud.

Rina Yae was also very proud.

"Thank you Rina, I like this very much!" Xiaomiya's eyes were bright, obviously he liked this gift very much.

Yae Rina scratched her head: "Hey."

The little monster's heart was filled with joy and great satisfaction.

She sat under the sunset with her friends and listened to the praises for a long time.

Then he waved goodbye to them and finally prepared to return to Narukami Taisha Shrine.

*

After Maplehara Manyo's father officially recovered from health, he took him to Narukami Taisha Shrine with him.

It seems that the old aristocrats always have some habits that ordinary families don't have. For example, weird sacrifices and blessings are necessary.

"Originally, it was supposed to come on the second day of the New Year, but I was too ill at that time, so it was delayed until now... It really shouldn't have happened."

Maplehara Manyo raised her eyes and looked at her father.

"Father, actually you don't have to work so hard. It's not a bad idea to skip these sacrifices -"

"These are the rules of our ancestors, Manyo." His father sighed, "The Maplehara family cannot abolish these rules."

Maplehara Manyo stopped talking.

...Even if the Fengyuan family has declined?

He had no problem with this question, but he thought his father might answer without hesitation:

[Yes, even if the Fengyuan family has declined. 】

Some kind of shackles were put on by his father himself. Although Maplehara Manyo was young, he could see clearly... and there was nothing he could do about it.

The little bird flapped its wings and flew to Maplehara Manyo's shoulder, and then softly "chirped" twice.

do not be sad.

Rina wanted to tell him.

——Most people are like this.

She had seen quite a few of them at the shrine.

Why put shackles on yourself? The little monster doesn't understand, and neither do the children.

Their world is very simple, they don't think too much, and they don't worry too much. They only care about what's in front of them, so they are the freest in the world.

Yae Rina took him to a place where there were no people, and then became an adult and personally delivered the "witness of friendship".

She urged Maplehara Manyo to open the box.

"……This is?"

"The knot with the blessing of the shrine maiden was made by me myself!" Yae Rina put her hands on her hips, "I think there are some things that cannot persuade stubborn adults."

Rina felt that Shenzi was right...that's how it was.

People are always complicated.

She felt that she had grown up a lot, and might have become a qualified mature youkai, and she even gave advice to Maplehara Manyo.

"But...you can care about him in another way."

She was a preparatory miko, so she prayed that Maplehara Manyo could do what she could to help his father.

Maplehara Manyo held the gift and looked at her blankly.

"Thank you, Rina." He smiled suddenly.
