Chapter 13: The Castle Keep, Xunfeng Meets the Thunder God
"Ying, our VIP guest has arrived!"
As soon as Yae no Miko entered, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and said dismissively.
"What? We're having dango milk again?"
Ying happily tossed aside the novel in her hand and looked at Yae no Miko with expectant eyes.
"where?"
Looking at Ying's unmistakably homebody image, Yae no Miko helplessly rubbed her forehead.
"Oh dear... my god, why is your mind always filled with sweets?"
After saying that, Yae no Miko began to calm herself down.
Then, she spoke softly, as if she were a principal talking to kindergarten children.
“It’s the God of Light who has come to Inazuma. I think you should meet him.”
However, even with her exceptional memory, Ying still hadn't forgotten the existence of the dessert.
"Did he come to deliver the milk and dumplings?"
After saying that, Ying stood up excitedly, and the idea of even going to pick up Xunfeng herself sprouted in her mind.
At this point, Yae no Miko realized that the two of them were not even on the same wavelength.
Yae no Miko: Let whoever wants to be my family member take it!
"Sigh... never mind, he's already on his way to see you, I'll go first~"
After saying that, she turned and left on her own.
"Divine Child, are you leaving again? Remember to bring back a new novel!"
Hearing the lazy voice behind him, Yae no Miko shrugged.
Taking care of a child who is thousands of years old is truly a difficult task!
------------
The following morning.
A hotel in Inazuma City.
Walnut, who was sleeping soundly in bed, had her little face flushed red from the sun shining through the window; it looked so hot you could fry an egg on it.
When Xunfeng woke up, he wanted to check if Hu Tao was awake, but he found that she was sleeping very restlessly, tossing and turning.
Noticing something was amiss, he immediately walked quietly to Hu Tao's bedside and stretched out his hand to shield his eyes from the sun.
This blockade lasted for several hours.
So the question is, why didn't he choose to draw the curtains?
As expected, Hu Tao finally slept soundly after the sunlight was blocked.
Walnut, with her eyes closed, is showing a happy smile.
"Um... Xunfeng, I... you..."
Walnut was talking in her sleep, completely drowsy.
"The Hall Master?"
Upon hearing Hu Tao's voice, Xun Feng, who was by the bedside, quickly moved closer and leaned down to Hu Tao, trying to hear what she was saying.
Then... Hu Tao suddenly woke up!
The two locked eyes, and at that moment, Xunfeng's hand, which was shielding him from the sun, was hovering above Hu Tao's head.
"Xunfeng...are you going to hit me?"
Looking at the slap that was only one centimeter away from her, Hu Tao stared at Xun Feng in shock.
"Have you been wanting to hit me for a long time?"
"Ah, no, no, no, it's all a misunderstanding!"
Xun Feng's usual awkward excuses.
Hu Tao, lying on the bed, didn't bother to listen to Xun Feng's explanation. After regaining her senses, she quickly pulled Xun Feng to her side and hugged him tightly.
"Xunfeng! You're still alive!"
Looking at Xunfeng, who was completely unharmed, Hu Tao was so excited that she almost jumped up and said "Yay!" like Keli.
Xun Feng was caught off guard by the sudden hug and had no choice but to accept it.
Yes, it was absolutely forced; don't overinterpret it.
"Xunfeng...did he go look for Hu Tao?"
Just then, Paimon's voice rang out in the corridor.
Immediately afterwards, Ying and Paimon headed toward the room Xunfeng had mentioned before leaving.
Upon entering, the two immediately saw the two embracing.
"!!!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Ying, who was blushing and stunned just a second ago, quickly reached out and covered Paimon's eyes.
"Kids, don't look!"
As a result, Paimon was innocently plunged into a state of temporary blindness.
Hearing a noise at the door, Xunfeng turned around and saw Ying and Paimon.
Instinctively, he hurriedly tried to push Hu Tao away.
But then I thought, what am I afraid of, being the main character?
So keep hugging!
After a while.
After calming down, Hu Tao finally let go of her embrace.
After tidying up their clothes, Xunfeng led everyone out the door.
"Now that everyone's here, let's set off!"
Although Walnut's arrival was not planned, it is not unacceptable.
Walnut: Here's your chance to reorganize your language!
And so, the four of them, led by Xunfeng, headed straight for the castle tower and challenged the emperor to a duel. They were instantly killed by the Thunder God with a single strike, and the series ended!
Returning to the facts, as soon as they stepped out of the inn and headed towards the castle tower, Yae no Miko appeared behind them and quietly followed.
"How interesting! I'd like to see how they walk straight into the castle tower."
Yae no Miko hid behind and secretly laughed.
As expected, after asking several local residents, Xunfeng and his group were stopped by guards as soon as they arrived at the gate outside the castle tower.
"Who goes there? Tourists are not allowed to visit this area!"
The guards, seeing that the people in front of them were dressed differently from the Inazuma people, naturally assumed they were tourists.
Xun Feng, however, was dismissive and didn't take the guards seriously at all. He simply raised his finger and pointed it lightly from a distance, and the guards were instantly frozen in place.
Although Hu Tao, who was traveling with him, looked completely bewildered, she still followed closely behind Xun Feng.
Ying and Paimon seemed to have gotten used to it; after all, as the protagonist, it wasn't surprising that he had any skills.
"So that's how it was resolved? Oh my, that's unexpected."
The Eightfold Divine Son secretly thought in his heart.
After Xunfeng and his group went inside, the guards at the entrance returned to normal.
"Huh? Where did the person from just now suddenly go?"
"Are we all seeing things?"
The guards looked at each other, bewildered.
the other side.
Inside the castle tower.
Ying was engrossed in the novel when she suddenly sensed fluctuations of light elements not far away.
"Hey Xunfeng, you're here so soon to deliver the dumpling milk?"
"Xunfeng, what are we doing here?"
Hu Tao looked into Xun Feng's eyes, puzzled, trying to find the answer in his gaze.
"I need to speak with Thor, I need to talk to him."
Xunfeng gently patted Hu Tao's shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to be nervous.
However, his words of comfort were completely unnecessary. How could Hu Tao not be nervous amidst this massive thunderstorm?
Although she was a little scared, with Xunfeng by her side, she felt more confident to move forward.
After climbing hundreds of steps, Xun Feng slowly walked to the entrance of the castle tower, gently grasped the door knocker, and knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock! A knocking sound rang out on the door!
Lost in the novel, Ying slowly stood up upon hearing the sound and walked towards the door.
After opening the door, Ying looked at Xun Feng's hands with slight excitement.
"You are... the God of Light? What about the dumpling milk the Divine Child mentioned?"
Xun Feng, who was standing opposite her, was about to speak after sensing the boundless lightning element on Ying's body, but was stunned by Ying's question.
"What dumpling milk?"
Xunfeng expressed his incomprehension: why would any deity like to eat desserts? Isn't that as shocking as a deity liking to drink alcohol?
Barbatos: Next time, just show me your ID!
