Kikyo shook her head, "But I have no troubles."
Yi Lin was slightly taken aback.
That was not what the Gerland Blacksmith had said, was it?
"You should go."
Yi Lin remained silent for a moment.
Then he smiled and said, "Alright. Then... goodbye."
This time, Yi Lin really did stride out in a carefree manner, pushing open the great shrine doors, and leaving the place.
Kikyo watched Yi Lin's departing figure, her expression calm and unruffled, her thoughts inscrutable.
...
...
Yi Lin went straight back to the inn.
"It seems there must be some hidden truths here."
Yi Lin suddenly remembered the words of the Gerland Blacksmith.
—"It should end."
Looking back on it now, he felt there was a deeper meaning in those words.
End?
End what?
Going back to ask the Gerland Blacksmith was probably not going to work.
"Even though my interaction was brief, this NPC Kikyo gave off a very strange impression."
