Chapter 1063

Looking at the burly man in the Mirror of Erised, Toma's voice carried a touch of nostalgia.

His father was from Inazuma, his mother from Mondstadt.

He grew up in Mondstadt from childhood.

But later, worried his father in Inazuma wouldn't get good wine,

he took Dandelion Wine to find him.

However, a series of misfortunes followed, and he never found his father in Inazuma.

This left Toma with deep regret.

Yet now, he was seeing him in this way.

His emotions were truly complicated.

"Is that your father?"

Shinri Ayaka also knew a little about Toma's father.

After all, it was her brother who brought him into the Shinri family.

Later, the Shinri family had used its influence to search for him, but still found no trace.

But after opening the comic shop, everything changed.

Thinking of this, she smiled at Toma.

"Don't worry—if you earn a good reward later, maybe you can use that to find your father."

"Young Lady, you're right! That's exactly what I thought too!"

Toma nodded with a smile.

The shopkeeper's items are so miraculous—finding one person shouldn't be hard at all?

He just needs a bit more luck!

"By the way, I still have a reward!"

Hearing about the reward, Toma suddenly remembered.

Earlier, he'd been too worried about the Young Lady to check.

Thinking of the card he'd received, he quickly pulled it out and glanced at it.

"This symbol looks like 'Kindness'?"

Toma stroked his chin, thinking.

Outside the mechs, the thing he remembered most from "Divine Dragon Warriors" was this.

The entire manga could almost be called a journey to find Kindness!

First helping others find Kindness, then restoring them to normal.

Finally, reclaiming one's own Kindness to defeat the Great Demon King.

Could this card be related to Kindness?

"Yes, your reward is a piece of Kindness. Simply think of your target, and it will activate.

After gaining Kindness, that person will become a good person."

Han Feng smiled as he explained.

"It can make someone good? That's truly wonderful!"

Upon learning the reward's effect, Shinri Ayaka looked impressed.

Being evil is easy, but being good is hard.

With this, you could save some people trapped in error.

This is far more effective than prisons or anything like them.

It's just that there's only one.

If there were tens of thousands,

Inazuma's face would change dramatically.

Of course,

she'd only be saving those with minor offenses.

If someone committed a serious crime, they should still submit to the General's judgment!

"Young Lady speaks wisely!"

Toma nodded.

Using Kindness this way is indeed excellent.

But he thought further.

What if this were used on the General?

Would it make her completely abandon the Seclusion Edict and the Eye-Suppression Edict?

If so, that would be wonderful!

It would be good for both Inazuma and for himself.

But Toma felt he still needed to ask the Laobanqing Sect.

He looked up, his gaze fixed on Han Feng with nervousness.

"Laobanqing, will this Kindness work on the General?"

"The General?"

Shinri Ayaka froze at this, but quickly understood Toma's meaning.

If this succeeded, they wouldn't even need Long Zhu!

Thinking of this, she too looked eagerly toward the figure behind the counter.

"It won't work! Because the Thundering General already deeply loves the people of Inazuma—she just expresses it in a unique way!"

Han Feng shook his head slightly.

The gods of Teyvat differ from other gods.

Other gods are merely powerful species.

But in Teyvat, every single god truly cares for their people.

It's just that their methods differ.

Like Venti's freedom, Seeing Zhongli's contracts.

Even the serpent Otobasu, slain by the Thundering General, was the same.

Some gods' ways of caring are skewed, leading to bad outcomes.

Like the Lone Tower King of Mondstadt during the War of the Archons.

He provided his people with a city free from bitter cold,

but his methods were inappropriate.

Eventually, a wave of rebellion erupted.

The same applies to the current Thundering General.

The eternity she envisioned is not the same concept as the eternity the people of Inazuma desire.

But it's merely a difference in method!

It doesn't make her a wicked person!

So kindness is ineffective toward the Thundering General.

Yet seeing their disappointed expressions, Han Feng smiled and said.

"Of course, you can still try—it's only one piece of kindness, after all."

"The boss is right!"

Tomas nodded vigorously.

One piece of kindness can't accomplish much; better to try it.

If it succeeds, everyone will be happy!

If it fails,

as long as it brings the General some change, softens her methods a little,

he feels it's still worth it!

But this still requires Young Lady's support.

Tomas turned his gaze to Kamisato Ayaka beside him.

"Leave it to me—I'll seek help from the Divine Child later; I believe she'll agree."
