Chapter 73: Day 7 of Leisurely Traveling in Inazuma
"You said that there are guests from Narukami Island who want to visit me?"
Coral Palace Xinhai turned around and asked curiously.
"Yes, he said he was a friend of that traveler. He heard that Haigi Island was rich in resources and beautiful scenery, so he came here to take a look."
The woman in shrine maiden costume bowed her head respectfully and said.
In the past, there had been travelers who came here because of the beauty and richness of Kaigi Island, including some scholars from Xumi who were trying to write papers. The witch had long been accustomed to this, but the guests who came this time were a little special.
"Is that so? Then please ask him to come in."
There is a reason why Shui Qingli never forgets to mention the name of Kong wherever he goes, it is because it is so useful.
A traveler who has friends all over the world, as long as he mentions his name, his friends will unconsciously relax their vigilance and even take the initiative to help.
Or should I help Kong a few more times? Otherwise, I will feel guilty.
Shui Qingli couldn't help but think so as he watched the witch come out and invite him in.
"Hello, guest from afar, I am the present-day shrine maiden of Kaigi Island, Coral Palace Xinhai."
With a peaceful smile on her face, pink-purple pupils and hair color, and a pure and flawless temperament, Coral Palace Xinhai's appearance is very good in the whole of Teyvat.
"Welcome to Haigi Island."
"Hello, I'm Shui Qingli."
Shui Qingli nodded at her.
Well, she is worthy of being the woman that I failed to get after 70 draws. Her appearance is really amazing. It was not a wasted trip this time.
Check in at Umijima Island.
"How is Kong doing lately? I haven't seen him for a long time since we last met on Kaigi Island."
When two strangers get together because of a friend, the topic naturally falls on this friend, and Xinhai is really interested in Kong's movements.
She had a hunch that maybe the next time Kong came to Umi Island, he would help her solve the problems that were troubling her.
"He has been running around Inazuma since General Raiden lifted the Eye Hunting Order, helping many people and even making friends with the Thunder God."
"Is that so? As expected of him, I was worried that he might get hurt if he faced General Raiden alone."
Coral Palace Xinhai is the best doctor on Haiji Island. She is not only good at military strategy, but also has superb medical skills.
"I feel relieved to hear that he is still in good spirits."
Coral Palace Xinhai gave a reassuring smile, then looked at Shui Qingli curiously.
"Then Mr. Qingli, did you really come to Haiji Island just to see the scenery this time?"
Inazuma has just resumed external circulation, and there are not so many foreign tourists on Umi Island. Moreover, she has not yet dealt with some follow-up issues of the resistance army. The other party coming to Umi Island to play at this time is a bit clever.
If he hadn't said that he knew Kong, Coral Palace Xinhai would have doubted the purpose of his coming here.
"Yes."
Shui Qingli said without changing his expression.
Should he admit that he was trying to avoid writing a manuscript? That would be too embarrassing, so he didn't want to do it.
If I had known that I would not submit any work to Yaedo even if I was bored at that time.
"Sora and Paimon praised Umijima as being very beautiful and the people here were very friendly, so I was curious and wanted to come and see it. The fact is just as he said, the scenery here is really beautiful."
"It may be a little exaggerated...but I'm glad they like Umijima so much."
Coral Palace Xinhai raised his hand to cover the smile on his lips.
"In that case, I hope you can enjoy your stay on Umi Island."
Even so, the Coral Palace certainly could not provide him with a place to stay, as this was the territory of the witches, and he was currently a male.
Shui Qingli has forgotten the shock and sadness of changing his gender, because his body is now much better than before.
Not having to endure that pain every month offsets all the discomfort.
Wanglong Village is a very peaceful village.
The villagers here have lived on Haigi Island for generations, making a living by fishing. Occasionally, they would receive foreign travelers like him. When talking about the specialties of Haigi Island, the Coral Palace soldier who led the way could hardly control his endless desire to talk.
"Mr. Okubo seems to admire the Goro Grand Prix."
Since he arrived at Mototaki Village, he has been introducing Umijima and praising Goro non-stop.
"Of course. General Goro is the person I admire the most. Not only is he brave and resourceful on the battlefield, but he is also very considerate of his subordinates in private, and regards us as brothers who live and die together."
The sergeant named Okubo Daisuke said enthusiastically.
"He cares about us even in the daily life. It's hard to find another general like him!"
He is a fanatical fan of Goro. I wonder what he thinks of Miss Hina, Shui Qingli thought to himself.
I heard that Ms. Hina also has a lot of fans on Umijima. Will Goro's fans and Ms. Hina's fans quarrel?
"So you are a guest from outside. Welcome to Wanglong Village."
The elder of Wanglong Village, Granny Xiaojuan, said with a kind smile.
She looked very old, with her silver hair styled very smoothly. Although she was hunched over, one could still see her youthful beauty.
"If you need any help, just come to me. Even though I'm old, there are still a few people in the village who listen to me."
Granny Xiaojuan used to be a witch who was proficient in divination. Although she needed to rely on spiritual herbs to divine, she had her own special inspiration.
She could sense that this blue-haired young man had an aura that was very in tune with nature.
On the island of Umigi, only the agent of God, the great miko of the human god, can do this.
"Thank you."
When faced with the kindness of others, Shui Qingli is not someone who is unaware of their good intentions.
"Grandma, Grandma Xiaojuan!"
A little red-haired girl in a floral short dress ran over.
"What's wrong, Future? Slow down, don't rush."
Grandma Xiaojuan lowered her head, looked at the little girl who ran over, and spoke kindly.
Weiwei calmed his breathing and a surprised smile appeared on his face.
"I heard that the battle on the front line has ended. Will my brother be able to come back? Can you help me predict when he will come home?"
She asked expectantly.
"Divination..."
Grandma Xiaojuan showed an embarrassment on her face.
"I'm sorry, Future. The spiritual herbs are not very good right now. I may not be able to get an accurate divination result."
"But your brother will definitely come back safely. Before that, just wait patiently, dear child."
She stretched out her wrinkled hand and gently touched Future's head, as if with pity or comfort.
"Really? Then I'll go to the front every day and wait for my brother to come back."
Future's eyes sparkled, and he turned around and ran out happily again.
"…Mother-in-law"
"Shh-"
Granny Xiaojuan stretched out her hand and made a gesture, with only compassion in her eyes.
"I hope you have a happy time on Umijima."
