Chapter 88: Trampling the Waves
The reason why Niwa Hisahide was relieved to learn that the prayer festival could be held was simple, as the foreign guests were expected to stay in Tadosa for at least two months.
Excluding the 21 days when the festival officially begins, the preparation and finishing work takes a total of 42 days.
A Chong always finds fun in every opportunity.
As the name suggests, "qiye" means praying and paying homage to the gods. About a few hundred years ago, a large-scale construction project was carried out on Yae Island. All the skilled craftsmen of Inazuma were summoned, and with such wisdom and aesthetics, they built the most magnificent and exquisite "Borrowed Scenery Garden" in Inazuma at that time.
The day of completion became a commemorative day, and being summoned by the general became the highest honor in the minds of all craftsmen.
This is the origin of "Qi Ye".
However, as time went by, the meaning of the name "Qi Ye" has gradually become a legend, and people have given the word "Qi Ye" a new meaning.
Especially now, when that "Borrowed Scenery Garden" has been desolate for over a decade...
During this period, it is a good time to pray for the children in your family.
So, how can we not call it good fortune that we can restart the prayers and sacrifices during such a turbulent time?
Niwa Hisahide stared at the Mikage furnace in a trance. Besides the incoming Fontaine leader, there was actually another person whose origins were unknown...
But after he received the approval of the document, he was relieved and completely let it go. He felt a little guilty about it. He looked at the furnace core and suddenly smiled, muttering softly:
"May the blessings of prayer be with you forever, Chong."
…
…
As the people of Tasha prepared for the prayer ceremony, the tense and uneasy feeling finally dissipated. Mingchong, however, could not feel it much. The only thing he felt deeply was—
"Wow! They're hooked again! They're hooked again!!!"
"Wow—that's great! Yay! Chong is awesome!"
"Oh hoo~ I'm awesome! Ouzai, we're both awesome too hehehehe!"
The curious one showed a look of surprise, and immediately dropped his fishing rod, dancing and screaming with Ming Chong - of course, it was Ming Chong who was screaming, and the curious one was the king of the atmosphere group.
But this time, for some reason, I only saw the buoy moving up and down. It was clearly a shallow beach, but I had no idea where the hook was.
After trying to close the club several times without success, Mingchong's face turned fierce.
"Ouzai, here comes a big one, come and help me!"
The curious one nodded heavily, his eyes firm, "Yes!"
After trying their best, it was like a tug-of-war game, but they still couldn't pull it up. Ming Chong was distracted thinking about whether to activate the hook, and the huge inertia made the two of them fall backwards.
Finally caught it!
Ming Chong and Qing Qizhe turned around in surprise.
?
The two of them slowly typed a question mark and slowly approached each other, looking at each other.

"Ouzai, do you have any mermaids in your Inazuma?" Ming Chong held the curious man's shoulders, hid behind him, and spoke in a cautious tone.
"According to the common sense I was taught, there is no such thing." The curious person recalled Niwa Hisahide and Miyomi Nagamasa who taught him, as well as Katsuragi, whose strict logic was completely different from his appearance and usual behavior. He should not have missed anything.
Ming Chong pushed him and walked forward slowly, "Could it be...?" It was different from the vicious-smelling Lizard under the King of Liyue, but a nuclear wastewater-mutated version of the Lizard under the King of Inazuma!
"Could it be?" The curious person's heart tightened. Not hearing what happened next made him a little nervous.
The curious one turned his head slightly to look diagonally behind him. The two looked at each other and saw the tension, shock, curiosity, helplessness... and excitement in each other's eyes.
excited?
Ming Chong pointed at the curious person in his mind and said, "There's something wrong with you, Xiao Ju! Why are you acting so differently from usual?"
At this moment, the unidentified creature trembled and moved...
Ming Chong ＼Qi Qizhe: !!!
——The first episode of Teyvat’s local version of “Into Science” will be opened by me!!!
Ming Chong excitedly flashed to the side of the unknown creature, grabbed its neck (?), and took a closer look -
Blink, blink, blink.
"...It's a person." Ming Chong gave a very rigorous conclusion.
"Ah..." The curious person accidentally let out a lost sigh, revealing his true thoughts.
Ming Chong didn't notice because he felt the same way.
But it doesn't matter. Ming Chong calmly picked up the giant seaweed wrapped around the man's head. "This is a new record for the largest plant in Teyvat. It's just luck. If it grows longer, it might even become a sea tree."
"Save extra food tonight."
"Wow—that's a really big piece of seaweed!" The curious person took it and tried to lift it up, but found that even with his outstretched hand, it was still three or four times his height, dragging on the ground...
No wonder he was able to entangle this Fontaine man.
"But, Chong, I thought you would want to take it home and raise it. After all, it is a rare grass."
"Hmph!" Ming Chong loosened his grip on the collar. With a crisp snap, the man fell to the ground again. He puffed out his chest with pride, raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and smirked, "I don't raise everything! For example, this grass may seem rare, but it's actually not as good as this tech guy I just caught..."
Wait, tech people?
Ming Chong suddenly opened his eyes, and the horror in his eyes was about to overflow.

"...Technologists?" the curious person repeated, not understanding what it meant.
"Oh? You mean, you hope to support me?" The Fontaine man, who was so weak just now and felt that anyone could beat him half to death with one punch, had a subtle change in his temperament. He felt like he had changed from an NPC to at least an elite villain BOSS.
He brushed off the sand on his body. Of course, he was still wet and a little disheveled, but he became more at ease, like an adult. "Haha, nice to meet you, you can call me--"
"Doc! Take my punch!" Ming Chong rushed towards him and knocked him out instantly with a punch. He fell straight down and breathed a sigh of relief. "Great, nothing happened."
The curious person was startled, and he was somewhat perceptive about something being out of place. He hesitantly asked his question, "A-A Chong, did he ever provoke you?"
Got a semi-negative answer.
"He will annoy me in the future." Ming Chong crossed his arms coldly, feeling comfortable all over as if he had drunk a bottle of iced soda in the dog days of summer.
There is no other way. If I don’t take revenge now when we are not familiar with each other, I will never have the chance in the future!!!
When the time comes, if you beat him up, you will feel that you are the one who suffers!
"Is that so..." The curious person accepted this statement smoothly without any doubt.
There was just one thing he could feel, A Chong... didn't seem to hate this person as much as his actions just now showed.
So, will we actually be friends in the future?
——

"...The kid seemed to have caught someone?"
"Yeah, I've been walking around the sand for several times and haven't come home yet. I've already counted to the third time."
"Hahahahaha! Then you counted it again. There was a particularly large seaweed at the beginning, but the curious one took it back to cook."
"So, is it that the fisherman gets a piece of seaweed as a gift, or is it that the seaweed gets a person as a gift?"
"...Neither of them. The person in charge from Fontaine was dragged into the water by Inazuma's sea monster! Go get them!!"
!!!
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Not to mention Niwa Hisahide, whose plan died before it even began...
“…”
He refused any communication at this moment, holding Gilly, and sitting next to the seaweed that was almost cooked in the pot by the curious. He looked so desperate, as if he was going to take his child back to his mother's home.
Look at the gilly leaves, then look at the seaweed, and then look at the gilly leaves again.
Niwa Hisahide deeply suspected that God was playing tricks on him, otherwise why would such accidents happen one after another? ! ! !
It was the grass (referring to the lucky leaves) that brought him and A Chong together, and it was the grass (referring to the giant seaweed) that made him want to break up with A Chong.
Anyway, is there no way around this?! (Defense Break)
"Master Niwa! You can't do that!" The imperial carriage chief strode over in panic, trying to appease him loudly. "It's just a matter of status. Why do you need to make such a fuss and worry so much?"
"Mr. Miyu, there's no need to say anymore..." Niwa Hisahide stretched out his palm in front of him, made a gesture to stop him, and spoke slowly.
But the Imperial Guardsman reacted quickly, shook his hand, and looked at him sincerely, "As the Messenger, I failed to find any clues. The responsibility lies with me!"
"This matter has already been made public. I have no intention of arguing about right or wrong..." Niwa Hisahide looked at him deeply, and this look contained many emotions.
But in the end, he realized one thing - before the enemy appeared, his teammates had already revealed their cards.
Logically speaking, he should have stopped A Chong when he was dragging one foot past Niwa's house. When he mistakenly thought that the person in charge of Fontaine had been knocked unconscious by A Chong and Qingqizhe, he stepped forward to deal with the whole matter.
Before the man's identity was ascertained, he was placed under house arrest in the name of a traitor. This was at least influenced by normal political factors.
——It can also cut off unstable factors at the source.
Niwa Hisahide forced a stiff laugh.
Haha, he is so stupid, really. He only knows that there is a problem with the unidentified foreign guests, but he doesn’t know that the children at home are even better at causing problems!
Now, the Fontaine team should have known that their leader was taken as a trophy by a local fisherman in Inazuma and got lost at his doorstep for over two hours...
What damage this has done to the fragile reputation of Ta'ersha!
When Guimu saw Ming Chong dragging one foot, he started wandering around and even went to find a cart, which made it easier for Ming Chong to get lost.
As the first person in charge of Tadashi Sand, even Niwa Hisahide himself would not believe that he had no expectations of making the prayer festival famous.
You know, he himself is also a skilled craftsman!
Now, there is no need to worry about the safety of the children at home, because before they are noticed for their extraordinary qualities, their names have already been covered under the title of "fisherman"...
This kind of ordinary human curiosity news is always more eye-catching than those propaganda about Inazuma's traditional cultural festivals and rumors about unnatural creatures in Teyvat.
"Woo..." Niwa Hisahide sobbed, overcome with grief.
"I'm back - is dinner ready yet? -" Ming Chong pushed the door open in a hurry and reported his whereabouts loudly in a bright and energetic manner.
Hehehehehehe!
The mad scientist persona of the doctor has been completely shattered, right?! A gentleman's revenge is never too late, A Chong is taking revenge, everyone should encourage each other!!!
As soon as the background of the small flowers hit the room, it became quiet.
Ming Chong blinked. Seeing that everyone in the room kept the same expression and tilted their heads at the same angle, looking at him, he suddenly felt uneasy. "Uh, are you still discussing what to cook?"
"It's okay to eat later."
He added.
