"what's up?"
"I think I just saw your best friend."
"What best friend?"
"Barr."
"real?"
Xia Ci was taken aback.
Where did you see it?
"In a dream."
Xia Zhi recounted the events that had occurred in her dream to Xia Ci.
"What do you think about this?"
Xia Ci frowned in thought.
"After a demon god dies, the power of the laws it controlled goes out of control, causing all sorts of terrifying disasters, and its corpse is rarely intact. That divine cherry tree may not be a true incarnation, but it is definitely deeply connected to the real one."
"She doesn't quite trust me."
"I'll go see him instead."
"I left a beacon in that dream."
"Then let's go."
……
Dream world.
Xia Zhi and Xia Ci appeared together under that enormous cherry blossom tree.
"Is this right here?"
"Ah."
"It really does taste like the real thing..."
"You two have the same keen sense of smell. Go catch up with your old friends, I'll wait for you here."
Xia Zhi turned around and sat down, admiring the beautiful scene of cherry blossoms falling alone.
Xia Ci glanced at his back, walked to the tree, and placed her hand on it.
A familiar woman's voice echoed in her mind.
"Buyer?"
"real?"
"...You've really grown taller than you have five hundred years ago."
"right."
"It's good to see you're alright."
"I was originally busy."
"Ok?"
"Let's not talk about that now. What's your situation?"
"I'm not so sure either."
"?"
"I had been sleeping under the cherry tree for a while, but today I was suddenly awakened for some reason, and then I saw him."
"That's it."
"Is he really your cousin?"
"Yes."
"You recently acknowledged him?"
"Ah."
"How did you come up with the idea of having a cousin?"
"Life is tough, so I just want to find a good older brother to take care of me."
"Are you really that miserable? Sumeru isn't..."
“Narcissus is now under Nasita’s control.”
"Nacita?"
"The current Grass God, Little Lucky Grass King, my lovely little sister."
"How come you have another little sister?"
"It's a long story. Anyway, I'm unemployed now. Luckily, my cousin took me in, and I can work part-time at the shop to make a living."
"..."
"So, Zhen, you've essentially slept for five hundred years?"
"Ah."
"I heard that Inazuma has been quite chaotic lately. It seems that Kage has some problems with her philosophy of governing the country, and her pursuits are not consistent with yours."
"My lovely little sister..."
"Your sister isn't as cute as my sister."
"...Buyer, I feel like you're not quite the same as before?"
"no."
"How have you spent the past five hundred years?"
"I skipped it."
"Skipped?"
"I can't say much about this. I made an agreement with my cousin. Let's talk about you instead. How are you doing?"
"It almost disappeared, but that was within my expectations. Only this dream was unexpected."
"Oh?"
"I can't say too much about this, I have an agreement with that person."
"is it?"
"When I entrusted Inazuma to Kage, I also left my dream to Kage. But Kage was too stubborn at that time. She firmly believed in her own ideas and wouldn't listen to anything. I left a little bit of will in my dream. When Kage unleashes all its power, that will will also be released. That will be my last brilliance."
"The final radiance..."
Xia Ci was silent for a moment, then asked softly.
"Shin, do you want to be resurrected?"
"Resurrection? That kind of thing..."
The woman couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"It is a great blessing that I can see you one last time before you disappear completely."
Xia Ci's tone became somewhat serious.
"I'm asking you, Zhen, do you want to be resurrected?"
"...Yes, I really want to see Ying again, but what can I do?"
"Perhaps your cousin can help you."
"he?"
Xia Ci released her hand from the cherry tree and sat down next to Xia Zhi.
"cousin."
"Have you finished chatting?"
"Ah."
"Is it her?"
"is her."
"How about it?"
"...a wisp of a soul about to dissipate."
"That's terrible."
"She should have disappeared five hundred years ago, but the shadow has preserved her until now."
"Oh."
"cousin."
