Genshin Impact: I'm just a mortal

Kokomi stood frozen in place, suddenly finding herself unable to sort out her thoughts.

Such a mindset was uncommon for Kokomi.

As the current divine priestess and supreme leader of Watatsumi Island, she needed to be clear about her thoughts. Even for the smallest matters, she had to make the right decisions.

But at this moment, she closed her eyes, taking a deep breath as she felt the winds of Watatsumi Island. She realized that her feelings toward Yu Xie were indeed unclear.

After a long pause, she slowly opened her eyes and headed toward her secret base.

Some time later, Kokomi arrived at her secret base. She picked up a military strategy book, walked to the desk, and sat down, opening the book.

Time passed unconsciously as Kokomi immersed herself in the book. Reading a military strategy text she enjoyed was, in fact, her unique way of relaxing.

As the evening glow illuminated Watatsumi Island, the time had reached dusk, and Kokomi closed the book of military strategies.

Barely half a minute after closing the book, Yu Xie's figure once again surfaced in her mind.

She sat silently in her chair for a long time before finally coming to a decision.

Taking out her brush and ink, she began to write a letter.

......

Early the next morning, Yu Xie received a letter.

"Yu Xie, how have you been lately? Now that the war has ended, perhaps this is a good time to admire the scenery of Watatsumi Island. Additionally, I have a question I'd like to consult you about. If you're available, could you visit Watatsumi Island? I will have tea and refreshments ready, waiting for your arrival at any time."

Signed—Sangonomiya Kokomi.

After reading the letter in his hands, Yu Xie fell silent for a moment.

The invitation from Watatsumi Island's divine priestess took him slightly by surprise.

As Yu Xie hesitated about how to respond to Kokomi, Shen He quietly approached him.

Noticing the letter in Yu Xie's hand, Shen He couldn't help but ask a question.

"Yu Xie, this is..."

"A letter from Watatsumi Island," Yu Xie replied.

"Is it from Miss Sangonomiya Kokomi?" Shen He asked again.

Yu Xie nodded. "Yes."

"Miss Sangonomiya is inviting you to visit Watatsumi Island?" Shen He looked into Yu Xie's eyes.

Yu Xie nodded again, not intending to hide anything.

"I see. In that case... since Miss Sangonomiya is sincerely inviting you, it doesn't seem appropriate to decline," Shen He said after a moment of thought.

"Do you want to come along?" Yu Xie asked.

"Miss Sangonomiya didn't invite me, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go," Shen He replied calmly. "You should go."

"Exactly, you should go. Don't worry about us," Kitsune Saiguu's voice chimed in as she emerged from around the corner, walking up to the two of them.

Given Kitsune Saiguu's usual demeanor, this was the kind of moment she'd normally make a teasing remark like, 'Are you planning to leave your beloveds at home?' But today, she was unusually calm. This caught Yu Xie off guard, leaving him slightly suspicious.

Soon after, Shen He and Kitsune Saiguu accompanied Yu Xie to the harbor, personally seeing him onto the ship bound for Watatsumi Island.

As the ship sailed away and gradually became a dot on the horizon, two more elegant figures appeared behind Shen He and Kitsune Saiguu.

Yae Miko and Mikoshi Chiyo.

"Where's Yu Xie? Has he already departed?" Yae Miko asked, gazing at the sea.

"He's already left. Let's go as well; the ship is ready," Kitsune Saiguu replied.

"Is this... really appropriate?" Shen He seemed a bit hesitant.

Seeing Shen He's reluctance, Kitsune Saiguu stepped in front of her and said earnestly:

"Miss Shen He, you've met that divine priestess of Watatsumi Island, haven't you? Then you should know that she's no ordinary person. Yu Xie is heading to Watatsumi Island alone. Without us there to keep things steady, what if he loses control of himself?"

"This..." Shen He was still a bit hesitant, but in the end, she nodded. "Alright."

"Great, then let's set off immediately!" Kitsune Saiguu said with a smile.

The four graceful women boarded a ship that had been waiting at the harbor. With the sails unfurled, the vessel set off at once.

.......

By the time Yu Xie arrived at Watatsumi Island, it was already quite late; the ship he took today was a bit slow.

Making his way through the paths and past Bourou Village, Yu Xie arrived outside the Sangonomiya residence.

He had just stopped for a moment when a priestess approached him with courteous manners.

"Mr. Yu Xie, Lady Sangonomiya has been expecting you for quite some time. Please follow me."

Yu Xie didn't speak and simply nodded.

Led by the priestess, Yu Xie came to a stop outside the study room.

If one listened carefully, the sound of pages turning could be heard inside, along with the familiar scent of books.

"Mr. Yu Xie, Lady Sangonomiya is inside. I won't be accompanying you in, so I'll take my leave here," the priestess said before bowing and departing.

Yu Xie paused for a moment before reaching out to knock on the door.

"Kokomi, it's me."

Hearing Yu Xie's voice from outside, Kokomi, who was reading a military strategy book, froze for a moment. Her clear eyes trembled slightly as she quickly closed the book, stood up from behind her desk, and walked to the door to open it.

"Yu Xie... you… you're here," she said, her tone a bit hesitant, as if she hadn't expected him to arrive so soon.

Yu Xie smiled.

"Please come in. I've already prepared tea and refreshments," Kokomi said, gesturing for him to enter.

Yu Xie didn't stand on ceremony and stepped inside.

"Kokomi, in your letter you mentioned that you had a question for me. What is it?" After sitting down, Yu Xie went straight to the point.

"How about having a cup of tea first? I specifically selected tea from Liyue, it should suit your taste," Kokomi said as she poured Yu Xie a cup of tea, the fragrance gradually filling the air.

Yu Xie picked up the tea cup and took a small sip.

The aroma of the tea burst in his mouth—it was indeed excellent tea. Looking at the tea snacks on the table, there was a wide variety, all high-quality items, no doubt carefully selected.

It seemed that in Sangonomiya's residence, the highest standard of hospitality was just like this.

Yu Xie couldn't help but feel a bit flattered.

"About that question..." Kokomi took a sip of tea herself, looking at Yu Xie with some hesitation. "Yu Xie, if, whenever you have a moment of leisure, someone's figure keeps appearing in your mind, what does that mean?"

Yu Xie had thought Kokomi would bring up something related to the military strategies or the matters between the shogunate and Watatsumi Island, but he didn't expect her to ask this.

Surprised, he thought for a moment, then smiled and replied:

"If someone's figure appears in your mind whenever you have a moment of idle time, it probably means that person occupies an irreplaceably important place in your heart."

"An irreplaceably important place..." Kokomi repeated softly, gazing at Yu Xie, her clear eyes slightly trembling.

"Kokomi, you suddenly ask this... could it be..." Yu Xie seemed to realize something, but stopped himself, unsure of how to continue.

The atmosphere grew somewhat subtle. Kokomi slowly took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling unsteadily.

Then, she spoke slowly:

"I... I've been thinking about you every time I have a moment of leisure lately..."
