Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

The former goes without saying.

The latter now speaks of "elder brother" all the time, and has clearly changed his faith in the Coral Palace from "Orobas" to "Lin Jiu'an".

But what about Kamisato Kayo?

She, like herself, was forcibly taken in by Lin Jiu'an and threatened with her daughter's life.

Especially the way she was trying to suppress her pain.

She knew that the beautiful woman in front of her had been soaking in that medicinal bath recently, and her situation was even more miserable than hers. Logically speaking, Shenli Huadai should want Lin Jiu'an dead even more than she did.

"Don't you hate him?" Beidou asked seriously.

Kayo Kamisato paused, her cherry lips slightly parted, and after a long while, she nodded and then shook her head.

Beidou dislikes chatting with women in high positions and always prefers to make people guess riddles.

"what do you mean?"

“I’m afraid of him, and I might even hate him, but I won’t let you hurt him.”

"why?"

Kayo Kamisato didn't know what to say.

Should I kill him?

Of course!

There was no affection between her and Lin Jiu'an.

instead.

This devil kept making her soak in those medicinal baths, and if this continued, she felt she would completely go insane and become a shameless harlot.

She feared him, disliked him, and could even say hated him. (Novel Group 5)

All she needs to do is kill Lin Jiu'an now.

Then not only his daughter, but also his son and the rest of the family in God's house will be saved.

But if he were to live, then apart from himself and his daughter, everyone else in the Kamisato family would likely die.

"No reason."

Kagami Shinri stood firmly in front of Lin Jiu'an, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"No, it just won't work."

Kagayo Kamisato advised, "Don't make a mistake for yourself."

“If you really kill him, Ying and Xin Hai will not let you and the Southern Cross get away with it.”

"Leave now, and I can pretend nothing ever happened."

That's pure nonsense.

If Beidou were to kill Lin Jiu'an, Ying and Coral Palace Xin Hai would definitely kill her, but they would not do anything to implicate the crew of "Southern Cross".

Beidou naturally understands this principle.

and.

She also felt that if she could die together with Lin Jiu'an, she would be very willing...

That's right?

But looking at Shen Lihua, Lin Jiu'an was lying on the bed behind her.

Beidou's mind went completely blank.

If he could just kill him now, he would be completely free. Even if he died, he could die without any burden or regret, without having to worry about Lin Jiu'an's threats like, "You don't want the crew of 'Southern Cross' to be buried with you, do you?"

And he won't have to continue to be treated inhumanely by him after he wakes up.

but.

Beidou found herself looking down at the face that she found utterly repulsive, and her body began to feel hot.

She suddenly understood Kamisato Kaede a little, even though she didn't want to.

Perhaps out of fear of his immense strength, she was afraid that her attack would wake him up.

Perhaps it was a 'habit' formed from the daily torment they had endured.

Or perhaps it was because if he killed him, the crew of "Southern Cross" might also suffer retaliation?

all in all.

Many, many reasons flashed through my mind.

In the end, Beidou realized with despair that he had never really intended to kill Lin Jiu'an since he entered the room. Instead, he had been deceiving himself, like Shen Li Hua Dai, by telling himself not to do it.

"You think too much."

Beidou lowered his head, turned around, and hurriedly fled the room.

"I just came here for a stroll."

······

The next day.

early morning.

Beidou woke up early and saw a passing maid with a happy smile. After asking her out of curiosity, she learned some news that was like a bolt from the blue.

Lin Jiu'an is awake!

Beidou didn't know whether he was in despair or not, that his tormented life was about to begin again.

Or perhaps the timing of their wake-up was just too coincidental.

Last night, I went to his room in the middle of the night and was misunderstood as going to kill him. I also had that suggestive conversation with Kayo Kamisato. And now he's awake?

all in all.

Beidou inexplicably found himself in Lin Jiu'an's bedroom.

I saw Lin Jiu'an sitting on the bed, looking down at the "Dream One Heart" book on the quilt.

"Quite self-aware," Lin Jiu'an said without even looking up.

"I didn't mean to..."

Beidou trembled, and despite his reluctance, he couldn't help but show genuine fear on his face. He gritted his teeth with a look of shame and said, "At least I didn't think about killing you last night."

“I know,” Lin Jiu’an said calmly. “If you had been murderous last night, you wouldn’t be standing here talking to me now.”

Beidou was taken aback, then realized something. Looking at Lin Jiu'an, who was intently focused on the sword, she didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or not. In any case, a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

She just knew.

I probably won't be able to escape his clutches for the rest of my life.

Lin Jiu'an didn't care what Beidou was thinking; he was just looking at "Dream One Heart".

He has indeed been in a coma for the past few days, mainly because he fought with Balzeb in the "Pure Land of One Mind" consciousness space, which consumed too much of his energy. The life force he absorbed could not fully replenish the loss of consciousness.

But upon waking up, I suddenly discovered...

This sword is a bit strange.

He had examined the sword when he obtained it at the castle tower.

There's only one Balzeb inside.

but now.

He could clearly sense that besides Balzeb, who was sealed inside, there was another soul that seemed to originate from the same source as Balzeb.

Yet it was extremely faint.

If Balzeb's soul, sealed within the sword, is the sun in the sky...

That soul was like a tiny spark that could be extinguished by a gentle breeze at any moment, or even weakly 'asleep'.

"Could it be..."

Thinking of the sword's owner, Lin Jiu'an stroked his chin thoughtfully, then a devilish smile appeared on his lips, making Bei Dou shiver.

"interesting."

······

Inazuma City.

Kamisato family.

Ayaka Kamisato, still damp from her bath, held a photo of herself and her mother for a long time before putting it down.

Just as she was getting ready to go to bed.

"It seems you didn't make the choice I gave you."

Ayaka Kamisato stiffened.

Turn around.

But then she saw Lin Jiu'an appear in her room at some point, looking at her with a half-smile.

Ayaka Kamisato said in a panic, "No, it's not that I don't listen to you, it's just that I really haven't found an opportunity."

"He is often away from home."

“When he was at home, I tried to cook for him and give him late-night snacks, but he didn’t eat them right away, so I couldn’t find an opportunity to poison him.”

"Is it that you can't find opportunities, or that you don't want to look for them?"

"It's true, please believe me."

Lin Jiu'an smiled noncommittally.

"alright."

"Whether you can't find opportunities or you don't want to find opportunities, it doesn't matter."

"The important question is, is your brother home right now?"

······

The Shinri family home, the head of the household's office.

Ayato Kamisato sat at his desk, looking at the densely packed letters on it.

I rubbed my temples, feeling a headache coming on.

We haven't received any news from Haiji Island for six days now.

Previously, through the final episode, the spies planted in the Tenryo Magistrate's Office, and other channels, he would obtain first-hand information about Umijima Island every day.

But since six days ago.

After "Thunder Prison" suddenly and completely isolated Umijima and Inazuma.

He never heard from Haiqi Island again.

Although the war is progressing smoothly.

The Tenryo Magistrate has successfully occupied all of Inazuma's territory except for Coral Palace.

But Lin Jiu'an never showed up.

Although he didn't think Lin Jiu'an was a match for General Lei Dian, he always had a sense of unease in his heart.

Just as I was pondering this, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in."

Ayato Kamisato raised his head.

Then, Ayaka Kamisato walked in carrying a bowl of steaming fish soup.

The fish soup looked beautiful and had a rich aroma.

"Brother."

"I noticed you've been working quite hard lately, so I made you a bowl of fish soup."
