Genjin: I don't want to fall in love with Yae Gongji

Chapter 355 Goodbye Nasida

After hearing these words, Ying felt that the person in front of her was not the usual Catherine, but Nasida.

"You're not Catherine, are you? You should be Nasida now, right?"

Hearing Ying's words, Nasida smiled.

"Hehe, have you seen it already? I still hope that you can really accept the commission. Such a good opportunity to [observe human beings]..."

"It's Nasida! I told you that Catherine wouldn't make such strange jokes. When did you enter Catherine's consciousness?" Paimon asked.

"Hmm... It starts with the sentence [Towards the stars and the abyss], right?"

"Isn't that the very beginning!" Paimon heard this and stamped his feet in mid-air.

"So, have you rested, Nasita?"

"Well, since I was separated from you last time, I have been sleeping deeply and had a long, long dream."

Ying heard that Nasida had a dream, and couldn't help but be curious about what the dream was, so she asked: "Seeing the dream that the void cannot take away the gods, so what did you dream about?"

Nacita narrated what happened in her dream.

"That was also a dream about the flower god's birthday festival, but this time it was a beautiful dream."

"In the dream, I was sitting in the middle of the flower bed, and everyone in Xumi City was holding hands and circling around me...circling around. Everyone looked very happy."

"I also sat on a huge float. Faris, the Knight of Flowers, lifted me very high. I kept spreading Yalda candies to the children..."

"Nasita... maybe the Flower Goddess's birthday festival should be spent like in your dream, with people happily celebrating your birthday together..."

Ying felt that the Flower Goddess Festival should indeed be like Nasida's dream, but the reality was not the same.

"Huh? I am clearly telling you a very happy dream. Why do you all have this expression? Could it be that...this is the so-called [sympathy]?"

Hearing the sympathy, Paimon quickly waved his hands to say no, and explained, "No, no... sympathy or something, it looks even more pitiful! As long as Naxida herself doesn't feel sad."

"Speaking of which, have you visited Dina Zedei? How is she there? Since then, outsiders have not been allowed to enter or leave Humayi's house, and we have not had the chance to see her."

Concerning the situation of Dina Zede, Nacida told her current situation.

"Well, I [visited] her first after I woke up, and she was resting at that time."

"Although her condition has stabilized, the [Death Zone] in humans, called Demon Scale, can only be completely cured by finding a way to solve the problem of the withering of the World Tree."

"But as far as the current situation is concerned, the top priority is to find out what the sages are doing, or what they are planning."

In fact, Nacida knew very well that the sages were working on a god-creation plan, and the purpose must be to replace her own god.

However, as the original agreement, she chose to guide the two and let them know the god-making plan carried out by the sages.

"Yeah, if something like [Reincarnation of the Flower God's Birthday] happens again, the consequences will be hard to say."

"Well, let's make investigating and stopping the Sage our top priority. Let's talk about how to do it in another place. There are many adventurers coming and going here."

"That's right, adventurers, I'm sorry, we have to borrow Catherine for a while~!"

Nasida took the two of them to the notice board to talk about what was going to happen next.

"Just say it here."

"Well, does Nasita have any ideas on how to investigate the sages' plans?"

"Actually, I have already made some attempts, but now I would like to hear your thoughts first."

Ying lowered his head and thought, because if he wanted to know the sages' plan, he had to find the key figures involved. Maybe he could know what the plan was about. "How about arresting someone from the sage's side?"

"We are now in the dark, without knowing the other party's true intentions. Any aggressive behavior will only alert the enemy, and the consequences are incalculable."

"After all, the entire people of Xumi City are their hostages now."

After hearing this proposal and being rejected by Nasida, Ying thought of another one.

"Nacita, how about we directly [possess] key figures?"

"I have already tried this method, but the key figures within the Order, including the guards of the [Thirty Regiment], deliberately did not wear void terminals."

"They seem to have been preventing information from being leaked from the Void Terminal from a very early stage. Of course, it is not ruled out that they are deliberately guarding against my existence."

"Have the Sages noticed you?" Paimon asked.

Nacida shook her head, indicating that she hadn't noticed yet.

"I don't think so yet, but if they pay attention to some folk rumors about me, it wouldn't be surprising to be wary."

"In addition, there is a war in Xumi City now, and most of the guards in Xumi City have been transferred to Kavanyi and Daocheng Forest."

"So it has become quite troublesome to find the key figures. Moreover, the method of occupying their consciousness is currently unworkable."

"What about the possessed student breaking into the sage's office?"

Nasida rejected this idea without thinking about it.

"No, this method is too risky."

"You're saying the risk of discovery is high?" Paimon asked.

Nacida explained that she rejected the proposal not because of the risk, but because of the safety of the people.

"No, I'm saying we can't involve innocent students in this and risk ruining their lives."

"If you do this, wouldn't you be like the sages who disregard the safety of the people for their own purposes?"

"That's right. He is indeed a god who cares about his people."

"That's the only way I can think of, so I really can't think of any good way." Ying said that she was powerless at the moment.

"Well...is there really nothing we can do?"

"Nacida, you should actually have something to do, you are so smart... stop being so pretentious."

"Rejecting some unfeasible plans first will make the plans that will be proposed to be implemented become more weighty. This is a very mainstream view among the Jiaolingyuan Cause Theory School."

"Okay, okay, you are the God of Wisdom. Don't use such tricks. We will also take your words seriously."

"Well, my idea is that we can't directly possess the consciousness of those key figures, and we can't involve ordinary people in the incident..."

"Then find someone who is not [innocent], but whose position is not firm, to help us."

Paimon somewhat understood Nasida's thoughts.

"Do you mean to cultivate a [conspirator]? It does seem like a good idea."

"We met a guy named Alhaysen before, but he seems to have been acting alone. If he likes to do some things behind the back of the Order, he probably is not the same group as them."

"Paimon, have you forgotten that Elhaysen has left Sumeru City and gone to Aru Village?" Ying reminded from the side.
