Chapter 8

This "thing" was just now taken by Lu Shu from the foreheads of that group of samurai.

Can glass shards even be extracted from a human brain?

Big eyes, small confusion.

O_O?

But immediately, most of them were shattered.

After breaking, they dissolved into motes of light.

Only this one, extracted from the forehead of the leading "Yoriki," remained.

"Oh, this is called a 'Light Cone'."

"You can understand it as a 'plane within spacetime'."

"Mark the light upon it, indicating possible directions through a given event. Replace one dimension of three-dimensional space with the time dimension t, choose the 'point of event occurrence' as the origin, and thus perform a slice of memory."

Watching Yoimiya's cute, bewildered expression, Lu Shu chuckled mischievously in his heart.

Indeed, those who have embarked on a Path are, to some extent, influenced by the power of that Path.

In the past, although he also had a "mischief-maker" personality, he would not tease beauties at every turn.

"It's just that I sliced out the memory of them ambushing you in the bushes until the moment I knocked them out."

Yoimiya immediately understood, her small mouth forming a cute "O": "So, they won't remember what happened during that time."

"Exactly!"

In fact, this is technology from the "Hall of Memories," which can encapsulate memories within slices of light for easy carrying; once used, it enhances various abilities.

When a Light Cone aligns with the user's Path, it awakens additional power.

But for some reason?

After embarking on the "Memory" Path, Lu Shu mastered it instantly.

Sigh!

"My Path is obviously not supposed to be normal!"

This Light Cone from the "Yoriki" is naturally not a memory slice of that time period, but an extraction of his spear technique.

Simply put.

This light slice contains the Yoriki's most elite spear techniques; anyone who wears it will instantly master the skills sealed within the slice.

For example, if one slices the "Sword" of Jingliu and gives it to Tingyun to wear.

Then Tingyun would also learn the swordsmanship.

However, because their Paths differ, Tingyun cannot fully integrate and comprehend it.

Being sealed into a slice does not mean they lose the corresponding memories.

"Want to try it?"

Lu Shu took off the "light slice."

"Try..."

"Try what?"

Yoimiya's small face was bewildered once again.

"After trying it, you won't be a child anymore."

"Huh?"

Lu Shu gave a wicked smile, then hung the light slice at Yoimiya's waist.

In an instant.

Yoimiya froze completely, her beautiful eyes widening roundly.

Before her eyes, a group of illusory golden figures suddenly appeared, endlessly "performing martial arts."

A spear technique was forcibly implanted into her mind.

The pinnacle of perfection!

Subconsciously, she broke off a withered branch nearby, gripped it in her palm, and spun spear flourishes with a "thump-thump-thump" sound.

Either thrusting!

Or cleaving!

Or sweeping horizontally!

The withered branch in her hand whistled fiercely as it was waved.

Then, with a "boom"!

The withered branch, lacking a spearhead, was driven firmly into the tree trunk, penetrating deep into the wood!

"What is this?"

Yoimiya was shocked.

Were those performing figures not the Yoriki from earlier?

Is this the other party's spear art?

Heaven!

What exactly is Lu Shu?

"I'll give you the Light Cone; consider it making up for your weakness."

Reality is not a game.

Archers ultimately have some fatal constraints.

In Lu Shu's view, Yoimiya was too weak.

Although her archery talent was strong, capable of piercing a willow leaf from a hundred paces and snatching a general's head from among a thousand men.

Her control over the Pyro element was passable.

But she seemed to have yet to develop any moves with greater destructive power.

Moreover, once she lost her bow, it was as if she no longer knew how to use Pyro?

This pursuit.

Lu Shu only saw the image of Yoimiya using her fingertips to ignite a tiny flame and set off the firework tubes.

Too low.

He remembered from the manga that when Kaeya fought Klee, he didn't use his sword, but directly summoned freezing cold air with his bare hands to ice over the street.

That felt just like Aokiji!

Yet he discovered that once Yoimiya lost her usual bow, it was as if she couldn't use elemental energy anymore?

Ridiculous!

Judging by her current strength, she could handle weak Hilichurl tribes.

But once she faced something like a Hilichurl Samachurl, she could only run away.

In the end, it was simply because Yoimiya's own abilities were too weak.

Just like that.

Once the force knocked her bow away, she could only flee!

Consider this Light Cone a 'patch' for her.

Of course.

Later, once he obtained Light Cones for Ayaka and the others, he would swap them out for her.

A spear?

It doesn't suit her very well.

Moved...ing...

The clever Yoimiya instantly understood, and a misty fog gathered in her beautiful eyes.

"Lu Shu, you, why are you so good?"

(Hurry up and throw yourself into my arms!)

(Shouldn't the next step be a kiss?)

(...)

Pity.

World-weary Penguin.

Yoimiya was just like Chu Caiwei of the Si Tian Jian, with bright, fluttering big eyes, the whites of which were as clear as an infant's, making her little brain seem extremely pure as well.

She was the type that simply couldn't be flirted with!

(￣_￣)

(Forget it.)

(Take it slow.)

"You gave me a room to stay in, so just consider it rent."

"This, how can this offset it? Besides, this was originally the reward for you saving me earlier."

"Then add in three meals a day."

"Fine, then, stay as long as you like."

The two smiled at each other; the Naganohara Fireworks shop was already right before their eyes.

Yoimiya's home is in the outer city of Inazuma City.

After all, she makes fireworks.

Next to her house is a blacksmith shop.

At the entrance, an old man with gray hair and beard seemed to be stretching his arms for morning exercise.

It was Yoimiya's father, Naganohara Ryuunosuke.

"Old man, I'm back."

"Huh?"

"What did you say?"

"You're going to have a baby?"

"You just went out for a little while, and you're already going to have a baby?"

"OLD! MAN!!"

013: Shirona's pit-falling starter Pokemon (asking for monthly tickets)

"This room is yours!"

"You, don't let your imagination run wild."

"My old man is hard of hearing."

Yoimiya explained with a blushing face.

So cute.

So she blushes too.

Pure is pure.

It seems she isn't the 'Chu Caiwei type' that can't be teased.

"Why does this 'old man' sound like it's specifically referring to the taste of the two of us?"

Hiss!!

As if instantly ripened, Yoimiya's little face turned red and was even steaming.

Her eyes were spinning in circles.

"You you you... I I I..."

It would have been fine if Lu Shu hadn't said anything.

Once he said it?

Thinking about it carefully, it really does!

Without emphasizing 'my old man', the flavor of the two sentences connected together really does have that kind of taste.

She couldn't stay in this room anymore; Yoimiya greased her feet and ran.

"I want to eat Tricolor Dango, and just bring some meat porridge."

"Got it!"

"So many demands ￣へ￣!"

Tricolor Dango is Yoimiya's exclusive dish.

A soft, chewy snack.

Made by kneading glutinous rice flour and water into balls, then steaming them.

Adding Sakura Blooms and Snapdragon, the three colors of pink, white, and green add a touch of liveliness to the dango.

"Very delicious!"

[Group info]

"Really can't imagine, your cooking is actually quite good."

After tasting it, of course, one has to give a thumbs up to the Yoimiya treasure next to him who is eagerly waiting for praise.

Hmm.

Feels like Yoimiya is easy to guess.

Sure enough, after receiving the praise, Yoimiya happily carried the bowl and dishes out.

She was skipping as she walked.

Seems to be in a very pleasant mood.

"You sleep for a while, I'll take you to the Adventurers' Guild in the afternoon."

"The idea you mentioned about forging a Vision is very good."

After saying that, she thoughtfully closed the door.

Outside.

Naganohara Ryuunosuke squinted his eyes and nodded with old-fashioned comfort; his precious daughter has finally had her heart stirred by love.

Lying on the bed.

Lu Shu didn't fall asleep immediately, although he was already very exhausted.

After all, he rode a pig all night.

Although the pig was strengthened.

It was still tired and panting.

Recalling the conversation with Yoimiya along the way.

He remembers that Inazuma's 'Vision Hunt Decree' and 'Sakoku Decree' both started one year before the Rite of Descension in Liyue.

And Yoimiya said it would be a full year in 10 days.

How long Lumine stayed in Mondstadt before going to Liyue is unclear.

But when the plot started, she had already woken up and had been wandering for at least two months.

In terms of time.

At this moment, Lumine should have already fished up the Paimon-brand cup.

(Abyss: MD, missed the Prince again this time, I want the Princess.)

In Inazuma, surrounded by thunderclouds, the air is full of a dull and oppressive atmosphere.

Lu Shu doesn't like it.

"The friends should all be awake."

"Don't know what stage their timeline is at!"

Group chat "Future Rich Women Health Group".

A bunch of friends had already woken up.

The morning chat was in full swing.
