Chapter 603 "New Sister"
"It seems... that's how it is." Ying thought about it and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.
Fortunately, the Kamisato siblings took over the conversation.
"Speaking of which, what did you all do when you went to Yingxiang Mountain this time?"
Kamisato Ayaka looked at Kong and Ying with curiosity.
"I should have been your help in this operation, but unfortunately, my brother's injuries have taken a long time to heal and he is unable to perform his duties. I have to take over the duties, so I am unable to be with you and add some strength to this matter."
When she said this, she looked a little apologetic.
But Kamisato Ayato's face didn't turn red, she didn't breathe heavily, and her heart didn't beat fast...but her heart was still beating.
"It's okay, Linghua." Ying smiled and said, "This matter is actually not very difficult..."
Thinking back to the battle scene where he and his friends had just joined forces to defeat the evil Kujo Reijin so easily, and then thinking about Kamisato Ayaka's strength...
She thought it was better not to tell the truth.
In her heart, Kamisato Ayaka's character seems gentle and virtuous, but in fact she hides strength and tenacity, which can be seen from the battles she fought to prove herself in the previous martial arts tournament.
If I had clearly said that Kamisato Ayaka had no right to interfere in the battle at that time, I'm afraid she would be "hurt" instead.
"Ying... your words seem to be insincere..."
Kamisato Ayaka noticed the lack of confidence in Ying's words, and there was a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"Linghua..."
As if worried that Kamisato Ayaka would continue asking more questions, Kamisato Ayato beside her reached out and held her arm, then when Kamisato Ayaka turned around and looked at him with a puzzled look, he gently shook his head.
This was a signal for her not to continue asking questions.
Seeing her brother signaling to her like this, Kamisato Ayaka nodded slightly, then changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, where are you going next?"
"Or do you want to stay in Inazuma for a while?"
Hearing Kamisato Ayaka's question, Kong and Ying were stunned for a moment, then looked at Funina.
Generally speaking, when it comes to deciding where to go, it is Furninna who answers.
The two of them are just little followers... no, they are knights, the guardian knights of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Although I didn't succeed in protecting it from the beginning to the end...
Funina, who was originally quietly savoring the cake at her seat, suddenly sensed a strange atmosphere around her. She looked up and found that everyone was suddenly looking at her.
So, she asked in a daze, "Huh? Why are you all...looking at me?"
She freed one of her hands and touched her cheek, which was still white, tender, smooth and flawless.
"There's some cream on it..."
The ahoge on top of her head slowly formed a question mark, and Funina looked at the few people in a daze.
It wasn't until Kamisato Ayaka repeated the question that she came back to her senses.
"Well..." Fu Nina thought for a moment, "I plan to go to Heguan Island first to take a look."
"There might be a 'relative' on that island."
"relatives?"
When they heard these two words, there was a flash of surprise in everyone's eyes. They thought that another big shot had appeared there, and Paimon hurriedly asked.
"Funina, do you have any family members in Heguan? Which family members are they?"
"Can you introduce us to it?"
"Well... I'm not sure either." Finina puffed her cheeks, a trace of distress flashing in her big blue eyes.
The complicated relationships among her elders sometimes made it difficult for her to identify “relatives” when she saw them.
Especially on Heguan Island...
The main deity worshipped by Heguan Island was naturally the god there, the snake god Orobas, and Orobas was her uncle in terms of relationship...
It is said that the uncle also has an adopted son or...adopted daughter?
It seems that he was adopted recently and doesn’t look very old.
This kind of young sister... does it mean that she will give the other party "New Year's money" during some important festival in the future?
The ahoge was shaking, as if reflecting Funina's slightly complicated mood at the moment.
"Why do you say that?" Ying asked curiously.
Hearing her question, everyone once again looked at Funina, without saying a word, but with anticipation in their eyes.
“Because I’m not sure if there’s any…”
Funina thought about it and revealed some information.
"Uncle Orobas has an adopted son, but I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl..."
When she said this, she suddenly thought of a key question.
So she tapped her bracelet, and a curtain of light came into view.
He then directly contacted Y'k'trashil who was carrying out his daily work in the Astral Heaven.
[Little Cake Destroyer: Sister, are you there? 】
In the astral sky, when he suddenly saw a pop-up window with Furninna's information appear in front of him, a trace of helplessness flashed in Yktrasil's eyes.
Especially after noting the information above.
[Y'k'trasil: Are you here to start? You must be a bootlicker]
【Small Cake Destroyer: ???】
The ahoge on Funina's head turned into a big question mark, and her eyes were filled with confusion.
【Yoktrasil has withdrawn the message】
[Yuktrasil: What's wrong, Nana? Is there anything you need from your sister? ]
When she saw this new message, although she really wanted to ask what the previous words meant, after thinking about it, she felt that it would be better not to ask too much.
[Little Cake Destroyer: It's like this, sister, about Heguan Island, do you know that I have a brother or sister there? ]
When he first saw this message, Yktrashil thought that a couple was secretly making a little man again, but when he thought about what they were doing now, he immediately dismissed this idea.
Then the local information from Heguan Island was mobilized.
[Yktrasil: Brother or sister? If you mean a biological sister, Nana, there is definitely no sister on Heguan Island.]
[Yktrasil: But as for my cousin, there is still one]
"Is there really a younger sister?" A hint of surprise flashed in Funina's eyes.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that the descendants of gods were more feminine than masculine...
It seems that most of the descendants of gods who have some relationship with me are "sisters".
[Little Cake Destroyer: What kind of sister is she? ]
[Yktrasil: She is an equally lovely sister. I will send you her information.]
Then Funina received the message about the "new sister".
When she clicked on the message list, Funina noticed the other party's name - Coral Palace Heart Sea
"Coral Palace·Heart Sea?"
Hearing this name, the Kamisato siblings looked at each other and were both stunned.
"She...is your sister...?"
Even with Kamisato Ayato's shrewdness, he showed some disbelief.
"Yes, that's right." Furninna answered, but in order to be more precise, she still slightly corrected it, "She is considered a cousin."
"She is Uncle Orobas... um..."
"She is the adopted daughter of the Snake Demon God on Heguan Island. She is slightly younger than me, so she is my younger sister."
"..." Kamisato Ayato rubbed his temple with a somewhat melancholy look on his face, feeling that he might be in big trouble.
The society's work involves matters related to cultural propaganda, so all related activities are supervised by them.
Some time ago, before Funina and the others arrived, Heguan Island sent people to discuss some cultural and economic transactions, but after careful consideration, he marked a veto on the approval document at that time.
Because he saw little benefit for Inazuma from those deals, he chose to refuse.
Heguan Island has its own culture, which originated from the mainland.
Therefore, if this kind of deal is agreed to, the culture of Inazuma will be eroded and assimilated, thus losing its own uniqueness.
Although the probability of this happening is not high, he still chose stability.
However, now he got a piece of news from Funina...
Coral Palace Heart Sea is Furninna's "new sister"...
What does this mean?
There was no description of this in the information obtained before.
"Brother?" When Kamisato Ayaka saw Kamisato Ayato's expression, she immediately understood that he was in distress, so she asked:
"What's wrong with you?"
In response to Kamisato Ayaka's question, Funina and her group looked at him curiously.
"No...nothing." Kamisato Ayato shook his head and decided to keep the incident to himself. Then a look of apology appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I didn't do something very important, which involves the future development of Inazuma."
"Is that so..." Finina blinked and could tell at a glance that Kamisato Ayato was not being sincere, but she did not expose him and agreed to his request.
"Then you can leave. It's a good opportunity for us to continue chatting with Linghua."
"Okay, thank you for your understanding, Your Highness." Kamisato Ayato felt relieved after receiving this answer. Then he gave Kamisato Ayaka a look and quickly left.
Next, he needs to re-contact Heguan Island.
Regarding some previous cultural transaction issues, he should have agreed.
If you don't agree, I'm afraid there will be some unusual accidents later.
such as……
After being hit by seven elemental magic cannons of different attributes, it was determined to be suicide.
Coral Palace Heart Sea is Funina's cousin...
If this information were to become known to the world, Kamisato's days as the company's magistrate would probably be over.
In the entire continent of Teyvat, the Alliance of the Seas is the real "sky".
And above that "sky" is the Great Supreme Being who rules over all the seas.
This is a fact that no one, not even God, can refute.
After Kamisato Ayato left, for some reason, Kamisato Ayaka suddenly became much more interested in chatting.
Maybe it’s because her brother is no longer around and she no longer needs to maintain the so-called “lady’s” demeanor.
"By the way, Funina, if you are going to Heguan Island, can you take me with you?"
Kamisato Ayaka looked at Funina with burning eyes, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Why?" Furninna looked at her with some confusion, "Do you have something important to do on Heguan Island?"
"No..." Kamisato Ayaka shook her head gently, and then said: "I just want to go there and take a look openly."
When she said this, she also looked melancholy.
"When I was young, I wanted to see what the scenery outside was like."
"Since I was young, I have been taught by my parents to learn all kinds of benefits, from body movements to facial smiles..."
"Every action must conform to the family's rules."
"And all kinds of complicated knowledge."
"My father and mother told me that if I learned all the knowledge they taught me one day, they would allow me to be truly free."
“So I tried my best to learn everything my parents taught me.”
"This also includes Kamisato-ryu Taidaojutsu."
"A few years ago, in order to prove my strength, I challenged my elder brother. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, I could not defeat him even once..."
When she said this, there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes.
Kamisato Ayato's strength far exceeds hers, and even if she releases the sea, she will still not be able to deal with it.
"Until one day later, I suddenly found an answer and had my own real wish..."
"That was the first time I defeated my brother, even though he didn't use his full strength."
"So what is your wish?" asked Furninna curiously.
Upon hearing this, Kamisato Ayaka was silent for a moment.
Her wish...
It’s actually very complicated.
Is it to fulfill his parents' expectations? To defeat his brother fairly? Or... to walk freely on the continent of Teyvat?
"My wish..." After taking off the Eye of God, Kamisato Ayaka looked directly at the ice element symbol that was glowing with a faint light, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
People who possess the Eyes of the Ice Element God are actually quite complex and contradictory.
She longs to have the ability to defeat her brother and gain recognition from her parents, but she also hopes to break the "rules" that restrict her.
Amidst this contradiction, when she realized her true nature, she defeated her brother for the first time and also gained her own Eye of God.
"Actually... my wish is very simple." Kamisato Ayaka blinked at the others and said with a smile, "My short-term goal is to go to Tsurukan Island to take a look and take a walk."
“My long-term goal is to go inland and take a look and walk.”
Speaking of this, she was also a little unhappy.
Ever since her elder brother Kamisato Ayato reached the same age as her, their parents slowly transferred all responsibilities related to the shrine's affairs to them.
After making sure that there would be no problems with the Kamisato family and the society's magistrate with the two siblings, the unscrupulous parents slipped away for their honeymoon.
