"Huh? You're still here?"
Ying blinked her eyes, asking with a touch of confusion.
Tore glanced at her and quickly conjured a plausible reason.
"It's nothing, just thinking about my next course of action."
Ying: "Course of action?"
"Mmm, experiments require a lot of materials. What I showed you a few days ago was just one of my temporary bases in Inazuma."
"Whoa!"
Hearing this, Ying's eyes lit up and she applauded him.
"Amazing! But I have a question, can you really handle all this by yourself?"
Tore looked at Ying and thought to himself,
"Ah... she's directly addressing the topic and there's no hint of doubt in her voice. It seems after these two incidents, she trusts me completely..."
With this thought, Tore smiled and showed Ying the Anemo Vision in his hand.
"I can't do it alone, but with this, it's possible."
Upon seeing the genuine Vision, Ying's eyes widened.
"Oh?! You have a Vision too?! (✪▽✪)"
"So that's why he's so powerful. He's truly a new character who appeared after I transmigrated~ (￣▽￣～)~"
Ying had successfully misinterpreted the facts... Well, it couldn't entirely be called a misunderstanding...
"Yes, if controlled properly, I can transport equipment with Anemo powers without being blown away. That's also the secret to saving you and the other girl without harm, and only incapacitating the Shogunate soldiers earlier. (^_^)"
"Woah~ I never knew you were so amazing?!"
"I never imagined Anemo could be used in such a way. Even Lumine probably can't control her Anemo powers with such finesse..."
"Come to think of it, this is the second time I've learned something from him..."
With this thought, Ying secretly resolved to train her Anemo powers to his level, or even surpass him.
"Hahaha, I just put in more effort than the average person. Speaking of which, didn't I tell you your injury hasn't healed yet?"
"Ah, this..."
"Cough, cough... It's fine, it's fine. I'm much better now. The little bit left will heal naturally soon enough. (*￣з￣)"
"Besides, reuniting with Lumine is the most important thing. I haven't seen them in almost two days. If this keeps up, I might really be bedridden for a month..."
Tore saw Ying's eagerness to travel and shook his head helplessly.
"Alright, since you're so keen on reuniting with your family, hurry up and say your goodbyes outside. Coincidentally, my next destination is also near Ritou, so I'll give you a ride."
"Really?! Thank you so much!"
Ying said happily and immediately ran towards the exit.
After Ying had moved away, Tore let go of his amiable and cheerful demeanor, speaking in a low voice.
"Heh heh... She really is a silly girl. Even though I consider my acting skills top-notch, I still think that when I see her happy expression..."
"Did all her intelligence go to her sister?"
Meanwhile, Ying walked out of the room and looked around. She soon found the older sister who had supported her before she fainted.
"Hey~ Thank you for taking care of me earlier~"
"Hmm? You're awake? (^_^)"
As she spoke, Tanimura Moe patted Ying's head. Seeing that her fever had indeed subsided, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ying quickly waved her little fists.
"Don't worry, I feel much better now~"
"By the way, why are you all gathered here?"
Hearing Ying's question, Tanimura Moe hesitated for a moment before replying.
"Well... it's because someone in our village, driven by selfish desires, almost got all of us sent away in exchange for money. This made Brother Yamamoto very displeased and he's going to have a one-on-one duel with him."
"Ah, I see..."
Just hearing those two words made her instinctively think of the Yaksha... Please forgive me, Brother Yamamoto, this is not my fault... (//∇//)
After understanding why everyone was gathered there, Ying curiously squeezed through the crowd with Tanimura Moe.
As expected, the two individuals were the same ones Ying had overheard bickering earlier.
However, the only difference was that the little fat guy's face was bruised and swollen. If not for his uniquely recognizable body, Ying might not have recognized him.
"Ouch..."
At this moment, the little fat guy was beaten to the point where he had no strength to stand, only wailing on the ground.
"You... You've gone too far! You beat me so mercilessly for an outsider! This is an outrage!"
Hearing his words, Old Brother Yamamoto scoffed.
"Hmph... You fat pig, we tolerated your petty thievery and freeloading when you were alone.
"Now you've gotten so bold! Do you even have any shame about what you told the Shogunate soldiers the day before yesterday?! For a mere few tens of thousands of mora, you got our entire village arrested?! Let me tell you! It's already being polite that I haven't beaten you to death today!"
Hearing Old Brother Yamamoto's words, Ying nodded in agreement.
First, there was Brother Tore, then the older sister just now, and finally Old Brother Yamamoto and the other residents... The world is indeed full of good people (⌒▽⌒).
After admiring the beautiful scene for a while, Ying also told them about her impending departure.
Tanimura Moe said with some surprise.
"Eh?! You're leaving so soon?"
Ying: "Mmm, because I need to reunite with my family. Thank you all so much for your help these past few days. I'll visit again if I have the chance (^～^)"
Old Brother Yamamoto, who had finished dealing with the fat pig, nodded upon hearing Ying's words.
"Mmm, your intention is enough to make us happy. Unlike that fat pig, I'll throw him out later!"
Ah, this...
"I have a feeling their feud will be passed down through generations..."
After bidding farewell to everyone, Ying finally ran to Tore, who had been waiting at the village entrance, and left the place with him.
Tanimura Moe watched the two of them leave and couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that doctor is more than meets the eye."
Beside her, Old Brother Yamamoto scratched his head in confusion.
"Really? I didn't feel anything."
"Perhaps I'm overthinking it... But speaking of which, Hibiki Village has been quite lively these past few days..."
