In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

The vendor smiled sincerely: "Okay."

While wrapping the cloth, he seemed to remember something and whispered, "Miss Kamisato, I must warn you, the road to the dock is not safe. The wandering samurai are very active. A few days ago, a caravan was robbed. I don't know what role the shogunate army is playing. This morning, I even heard that Lord Kujo has come as well."

As Kagami Ryouka listened, her expression grew increasingly grave. She knew about the wandering samurai and was certain those men weren't subordinates of the rebels.

They're just a bunch of pathetic creatures blinded by power.

However, she still nodded heavily before saying goodbye and leaving.

Of course, all of this was seen by Zaoyou, who was hiding in the shadows. The little guy yawned and then wrote it down in his little notebook.

Maybe I stayed up too late last night, so what I was writing turned into a simple sketch, and what I was drawing turned into a jumble of characters.

It wasn't until she was completely unrecognizable that Zaoyou came to her senses, and when she looked over there again, the other person had already disappeared.

"Oh no! I've lost track of the young lady!"

Zaoyou covered her head, as if she could already believe the scene in the future: when the big fox would capture her and eat her, it would call her "little raccoon" before doing so.

Damn it, she's a tapir, not a tanuki!

However, she could still see him just now, which means he hasn't gone far. She needs to catch up quickly.

As for Ryoka Kamisato, the reason she suddenly disappeared was simple: she saw people fighting ahead and instinctively hid.

As the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, she could openly look at him without any problem.

But given the current situation, it might not be wise to go out rashly.

Thinking of this, Ayaka Kamisato sighed helplessly, then peeked out and secretly analyzed the situation.

Judging from their attire and equipment, the shogunate army should be from the Tenryo magistrate's side, and the person leading the team can only be Kujo Sara, with his signature short hair and dashing figure. But isn't the enemy supposed to fight with a bow and arrow?

Why are you suddenly using swords today?

And those monsters seem to be in a strange state.

Although she knew that twitching after being knocked down was normal, she wondered why it kept twitching, especially the slimes, which were almost dehydrated.

Not only her, but the surrounding Shogunate soldiers were also wondering to themselves, because they were closer and could see things more clearly.

As someone who always performed her duties diligently, Kujo Sara was seen as arrogant and cold by outsiders.

Their original intention today was simply to observe the adults' heroic fighting prowess.

I never expected to see such a scene.

(One more chapter will be posted tomorrow morning. I took a bus today, and my head is numb. Love you all.)

Chapter Thirty-Six: Good afternoon, Miss Kamisato

Leaving aside the Hilichurls, who dealt with many of the problems, the slimes were too abstract to discuss.

When Kujo-sama slashed with his sword, the monsters suddenly spewed out their blood, making a mess everywhere.

Especially the lightning-type slimes, whose slime is also electrified.

They were all dumbfounded.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Kujo Sara remained expressionless. Since she didn't have the ability to read minds, she naturally didn't know what her subordinates were thinking. She had only come to verify one thing: whether this... High-level Blade would work on creatures other than humanoids.

It now appears to be highly effective, clearing out enemies in just one round. If it can be mass-produced, the Shogunate army will have absolute dominance on the battlefield.

Well, as long as you don't worry about being spread strange rumors, it's fine, because while this thing is very effective, it also has obvious side effects.

This is truly social death.

Kujo coldly sheathed her weapon, glanced at the expressions of her subordinates around her, roughly guessed what they were thinking, snorted, and ordered the rest of them to clean up the battlefield, while she went back first.

So a large group of people began to clean up the battlefield. It is worth mentioning that the materials from these monsters can also be sold for money, so bounty hunters who often have nothing to do will take down monsters to supplement their income.

Shinri Ryouka, who was hiding in the distance, pursed her lips.

She arrived late, so she didn't see the whole process, only catching a vague glimpse of some images.

She was very concerned about the clean and swift slash and the enemy's subsequent posture.

"Is it new equipment for the Shogunate army? There hasn't been a single word about it..."

This is not good news.

Perhaps the general has become suspicious of the Kamisato family; if that's the case, things will be even more difficult in the future.

What Shen Li Linghua didn't know was that the general's attention to her wasn't about those behind-the-scenes little actions, but simply out of curiosity about when she would go there. After all, in the other world, Xu Guang would mention it every day.

"Ah, when is Kamisato Ayaka? I'm going to die without the white-haired loli."

They were all getting tired of hearing such strange remarks, and Ying even wondered from time to time if her charm was less than the other person's.

That's certainly not the case. The reason is that in his previous life, as a Chinese, Xu Guang had a particular fondness for white hair.

After everyone had left, Ryoka Kamisato stood up, but she felt a little dizzy when she stood up, probably because she had been squatting for too long.

Leaning against the fallen, withered tree beside her, Ryouka Kamisato frowned.

I have a feeling that at some point, the surrounding environment changed; it's become too quiet, which is strange.

Zaoyou, who was hiding somewhere, looked at the scene. From her perspective, the young lady she had finally found suddenly became illusory, so she panicked a little: "The... the young lady has turned into a shadow!"

She suddenly remembered what the big fox had told her before: if her young mistress showed any abnormalities, she should tell her immediately. This was probably what he meant.

After hesitating for a moment, Zaoyou gritted her teeth, turned around and jumped away. She needed to tell that big fox about this as soon as possible, otherwise the young lady might be in danger.

……

"Something's wrong."

Ryoka Kamisato looked at the Eye of God at her waist but did not sense any connection.

Those who are favored by the gods will gain the divine eye, thereby obtaining great power.

She can no longer sense the energy of the Eye of God.

Ambushed?

Were we ambushed?

Looking around warily, Ryouka Kamisato felt somewhat at a loss; the unknown was the most terrifying thing.

Even though the environment hadn't changed, everything seemed to have changed in an instant, without her noticing.

Just as she was wondering what to do next, she suddenly noticed a figure slowly approaching in the distance.

It looks like a boy.

A thought struck Shen Lilinghua, and she stepped forward to see the other person's appearance clearly.

A very young man, around twenty years old, very handsome, with an enigmatic smile on his face, dressed in black with an odd style.

She was certain that she had never met the other person before.

Isn't he from Inazuma?

She suddenly remembered what the merchant had told her before: there were ships from Liyue traveling back and forth recently.

So you're from Liyue?

As she sized him up, the man was also observing her, but the smile on his face grew wider and wider, as if... he had discovered something interesting.

Shaking her head to clear her mind of these jumbled thoughts, Shinri Ryouka revealed a gentle smile and asked.

"Hello, who are you?"

Xu Guang was indeed very happy. After all, if you had to list which character on the internet had the most fans, Kagami Ryouka would definitely be at the top of the list, which also shows her charm.

Hearing the other party's question, Xu Guang thought of a good idea, chuckled, and bowed slightly: "Good afternoon, Miss Shenli. As you instructed, I have taken care of the follow-up matters. By the way, do you not remember me? That's really sad."

Kamisato Ryuka: "???"

My orders?

What did I do?

And who are you?

With questions lingering in her mind and observing the other person's respectful expression, Ryoka Kamisato kept her questions to herself.

The other party seemed to know her, which was easy to resolve. As a child of the Kamisato family, one of the three great magistrates of Inazuma, she often received guests and frequently went out before the Eye Hunting Edict was issued.

It's safe to say that unless you're a hermit living deep in the mountains, it's not difficult to find out about her.

A tentative inquiry: "How far have we progressed?"

Even if a complete stranger claims to know you well, you should never easily believe them.

So she decided to play along for a while and see when this guy would slip up.

Xu Guang glanced at the status bar above Shen Lilinghua's head, knowing what she was thinking, and chuckled: "Of course, we've already made arrangements with the rebels. As long as you give the order, we'll lead our men into Inazuma Castle and overthrow the Fools!"

Hearing what the other party said, at first, Ryouka Kamisato was inwardly scoffing, because after General Raiden issued the Eye Hunting Order, the people's wishes were wantonly trampled on.

Although the magistrate served the general, due to his duties, he was also the one most closely connected to the people's livelihood.

The power she wields stems from the trust of the people, and Ayaka cannot ignore this situation, but she also absolutely cannot cooperate with the rebels.

That would only make things worse.

But after hearing what the other person said next, she fell silent again.

What is the Fools' business here?

Xu Guang frowned and said seriously, "Have you forgotten? Because of the Eye Hunting Order, the rebel army and the shogunate army went to war. During this time, the Fools reaped the benefits, not only obtaining a large amount of data on users of the Evil Eye, but also using a trap to imprison the shogun, thereby taking control of the entire Inazuma."

"Things have come to this point, please stop joking!"

Chapter 37: I never expected that you, Kujo, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would want to be on top!

"...?"

How come I can understand every single word you say, but I can't understand them when they're put together?

What does it mean for the Fools to control Inazuma?

Her doubts grew stronger, but seeing the other person's serious expression and anxious words, Ryoka pursed her lips and nodded.

Seeing the other person's expression, Xu Guang chuckled inwardly, but his face remained impassive. He simply extended his hand, gesturing for the other person to take his.

"In that case, please hurry up and go. We need to meet up with Lord Kujo in Inazuma as soon as possible. Time waits for no one."

Ryoka looked at the outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it.

Although I don't believe what the other person says, I know that once I get to Inazuma Castle, the truth will be revealed.

After all, no matter how good the other party is at lying, they can't possibly make the entire Inazuma family act with him.

Unfortunately, Shinji Ryouka guessed wrong.

In this world, let alone the entire Inazuma, Xu Guang could even make Tianli and Shenyuan act with him if he wanted to.

Holding Shen Lilinghua's fair and smooth hand, Xu Guang led her along the road, pretending to be innocent.

But deep down, I was filled with emotion.

It's so soft. I wonder what it will be like to hold other things with these jade-like hands in the future.

Without stopping for a moment, the two quickly left the suburbs and arrived at a small town.

From afar, Ryouka Kamisato frowned deeply.

On the outskirts of the town, a dozen or so people dressed as fools were patrolling, while the townspeople stared at them with indignant expressions, seemingly angry but unable to speak out.

“You guys are still slacking off. If you fail to deliver all the required supplies, I won’t mind killing another one.”

The guy who was clearly the leader of the squad shouted loudly. As if noticing the crowd's emotions, he snorted coldly, then pulled out his whip and lashed it out hard.

Snapped--

A crisp sound rang out, and the man who had been glaring angrily was knocked to the ground. His family members tried to step forward, but were kicked to the ground by the rest of the Fools.

For a moment, suppressed cries and sobs echoed through the somewhat desolate town.

The leader of the Fools' squad grinned menacingly: "Get to work! If you don't complete the mission, I'll slaughter this entire family today!"
