However, the latter was trapped here by Heavenly Principles, while she simply couldn't find a way back.
"Although Ryougi's name sounds like it's from Inazuma, I feel you're actually more like someone from Liyue!" Kazuha said.
"Because I'm not from Inazuma to begin with, and even this name isn't mine." Shiki was expressionless. So far, all she had thought about was how to survive in this world.
"If poor, live virtuously; if rich, benefit the world." She hadn't considered changing the current situation in Inazuma. However, she could barely live virtuously herself, let alone benefit the world.
After listening to the girl's words, Kazuha mused: 'Someone else's name... living for someone else? Or is the fulfilled wish she mentioned about continuing to live for that person?'
If Shiki could read minds, she'd probably be startled. This answer was almost spot on, because her wish was indeed to become Ryougi 式 and live on.
As the saying goes, if you love someone, become them. But after achieving that, Shiki didn't know what to do, especially after arriving in a dangerous differentworld.
"Alright, although I don't know Ryougi's past, I hope you can still look forward. Perhaps after understanding, you'll be able to obtain a Vision."
Well, no need to say, he definitely misunderstood something.
Shiki didn't know how to explain her situation while hiding the fact of her transmigration. It was simply unexplainable, so Kazuha's misunderstanding couldn't be helped.
Besides, this misunderstanding wasn't too outrageous, so let it be.
Just as Shiki was about to change the subject by bringing up his friend, Kazuha stopped ahead.
It seemed she wouldn't need to change the subject after all.
"Be careful! They're not friendly!"
Kazuha drew his katana, which Shiki found incredibly strange. Weapons suddenly appearing and then retracting—wasn't that just a game feature?
"Business delivered to our doorstep!"
Another line etched into her DNA. Then, three Nobushi wearing straw hats ran out from behind a large rock by the small river.
Seeing this, Shiki also drew her sword, simultaneously reopening her Mystic Eyes, which intertwined with rainbow and blue.
"First and final warning. It's not too late to retreat now."
A clear, cold voice entered the Nobushi's ears. The three looked at each other, then burst into laughter.
There was no need to guess what that meant.
"It seems you've made a wrong choice."
With that, Shiki entered the Wuwo state. Nobushi were not like Slime; these people were either bandits or deserters, or disgraced samurai, and when they fought, they fought for real.
One would be fine; no matter what, he couldn't be stronger than Tejima. But three would require her full attention.
Three heads are better than one, after all.
Kazuha, standing nearby, felt the girl's aura change. Within her original aura, something that instilled fear in him had emerged.
It was as if she were the natural enemy of all living things, and what do all living things fear?
Besides the Archons, it was "death"!
The three Nobushi slowly advanced towards the two. Just as the two parties were only five meters apart, Shiki suddenly erupted in Kazuha's tense gaze.
This sudden burst caught everyone present off guard. The leading Nobushi hurriedly raised his broken katana, but the expected blocking scene didn't occur.
Shiki precisely cut along the death line on the katana. This weapon, which had accompanied the Nobushi for many years, offered no resistance whatsoever; it was cut open by the girl as easily as tofu.
The Nobushi looked at the broken blade in his hand, terrified, and quickly tried to retreat to create distance. But thinking of escaping now, wasn't it too late?
Pfft!
Shiki cut the Nobushi in two along the death line from his right shoulder to his left ribs. Blood gushed out, but not a single drop landed on the girl.
"They're tough!"
"Try this!"
One Nobushi, seizing the gap, threw a bundle of firecrackers. These explosives, filled with Pyro element, usually caused considerable trouble, but sometimes they could backfire.
"Nature's Return!"
Kazuha, still in his original position, jumped in place. The clear wind swirling around him acted like a vortex, sucking in the scattered firecrackers.
To be honest, this maneuver wasn't ideal because it could harm himself, but coincidentally, the remaining two Nobushi were right in front of Kazuha.
Crack! Pop! Bang!
"Ah ah ah ah!"
The two Nobushi screamed, clutching their wounded faces. Shiki rushed over and cleanly gave them a quick end with a single slash.
"It's over…"
Chiburui and Noto. Perhaps this was the advantage of having the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception; there was no need to guard against the opponent feigning death. Being cut along a death line meant there was no possibility of survival.
Wounds destroyed by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception cannot heal or recover. Even if a finger is simply cut off, one would die from excessive blood loss because the wound cannot close.
Unless that person's life force is so strong that they won't die from blood loss, or they exchange injuries by making another cut within the original incision.
However, the former is not human, and the latter requires detailed information about the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. So, once a death line is cut, there is basically no possibility of survival.
"Let's keep going. By the way, where did you pull your sword from just now?" Shiki asked with considerable curiosity.
Kazuha was still immersed in his shock at Shiki. Hearing the question, he regained his composure and explained, "That's the storage space that comes with a Vision, so we Genshin Impacts don't need to carry bags."
"Things like weapons, Mora, and daily necessities can all be put inside the Vision."
"But I have a question I'd like to ask you. Have you already reached the realm of Iron Cutting, Ryougi? Just now, I saw you cut the katana so easily, like cutting tofu."
"I suppose so?" Shiki wasn't sure about realms or similar concepts.
Because she possessed the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, she could cut anything, even elemental attacks and some intangible things.
For example, pain, disease, soul, and so on.
Hearing the girl's reply, Kazuha couldn't help but exclaim, "Indeed, there's always someone better out there. Ryougi, I admire your swordsmanship."
"I think you and my friend would have a lot in common, especially regarding swordsmanship."
Kazuha asked himself, without elemental power attachment, he couldn't achieve Iron Cutting with pure martial arts.
Iron Cutting, in essence, means effortlessly cutting the opponent's weapon during combat. If it were just simply cutting through iron sheets, anyone could do it.
