As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

Ying got up from her body and looked at her solemnly.

"Thanks to you... no... I should say everyone who worked hard for it. Thanks to you, I feel that I can change it. Phew... I really gained a lot from this trip."

She smiled, looking at the dark sky above and the bright moonlight as if relieved.

"I'll take you out if you want."

The general answered her thus.

"Haha... I know you often go out, but... for me who have never been out before, this trip has a special meaning."

Ying touched his heart and smiled sincerely at her, his beautiful violet eyes filled with radiance.

"Huh... As expected, today's experience will be something I can't recall too much afterward..."

Looking at the unforgettable shadow at this moment, the general lowered his eyes and thought for a while, his eyes lit up.

"Do you want to commemorate this moment?"

"Me? Well...of course I do...but how do I commemorate it?"

The other party looked at her in confusion, as if letting her make up her mind. After all, Ying was still a little unfamiliar with these things.

"You might as well... leave a 'shadow' to commemorate it."

She expressed the pun in her mind.

Leave a picture, leave a 'shadow', leave her shadow, record each other's memories at this moment.

"...Leave...a shadow? What is it? There are really words everywhere that I have never heard of."

Ying's tone was a little helpless, but with a hint of curiosity and interest, and a slight smile on his lips.

Sure enough, children know better. After all, the other person is born now, and he is different.

But she also wants to keep up with the times. After all, it will not be good to have a generation gap with her daughter in the future.

"It's just...um-huh...you'll know later. I'll borrow a camera."

After saying that, the general turned around and walked towards Kuroda. Yingya waited obediently and looked at the scenery in the distance that was getting closer to morning. The sunlight was gradually revealing a trace of his forehead, gradually illuminating the horizon. Bright.

She couldn't help but reveal a beautiful and gentle smile when she looked at the scene where Da Wife had just woken up.

After a few minutes…

The general took the camera he borrowed from Kuroda and brought it back to Kage. Looking at the black camera in her hand, she fiddled with the buttons slightly.

The style is similar to that of Ayaka's family, but there is a slight difference, but it doesn't matter...she can do the basic operations.

After all, it’s just a photo—

"This is?"

Like a curious baby, Ying walked over and observed the camera in her hand.

"Photograph machine, used to take pictures."

"I don't understand...but I believe you. I...what should I do?"

Shadow straightened up and slightly adjusted his kimono, moved the skirt of his clothes, and smoothed his hair, which was very cute.

"Just make it concave."

The general said casually and then manually set up the camera so that the lens was pointed at the purple-haired woman in front of him. The field of view changed to the camera field of view. Opposite was the cute Ying Ying who looked a little at a loss at this moment.

"What should I look like?"

Kage seemed a little ready to make a move.

"...so?"

She gestured to a simple scissor hand gesture.

"Um...Is that so? I'm a little embarrassed///...Can I change it to another one?"

Ying's face was a little red at the moment, and she asked her in a low voice while holding a scissor-hand gesture.

"..."

The general moved away from the camera and looked at the other party. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up and he walked to the fence.

"Let's do this... you sit gently on the railing and hold the umbrella."

She handed the wisteria umbrella in her hand to the other party.

"Oh...that's fine."

This posture is okay, but the one just now was a little too inconsistent with her character.

According to the general's instructions, he leaned his hips lightly against the railing, leaning his body backwards in a somewhat casual and relaxed posture, with this beautiful oiled paper umbrella leaning on his shoulders, Ying specially made the fan face slightly in a suitable position. The angle is tilted, and both hands are also holding the handle of the umbrella to look at the camera.

The general walked away a few meters and focused the camera on the figure who was making a good posture at this moment. Then he felt that something was missing.

"Shadow...smile."

"Ok?"

"Facing the camera..."

"Laugh...well——"

The corners of Ying's mouth curled up a little, which made her a little uncomfortable smiling on purpose.

"..."

The general narrowed his eyes slightly and then spoke again,

"Then...smile at me, the camera is me."

"okay."

This time Ying finally showed a sincere and soft smile to the camera.

Click!

The general deliberately chose the moment when the sun was gradually shining on the ground and pressed the button. The photo machine made a crisp sound, and within a few seconds, the photo that had just been taken was lowered from the lower opening.

Looking at the beautiful woman in the photo, the general also smiled, his eyes full of tenderness.

She walked over and handed the photo to Ying for him to observe.

"this is me?"

Ying was very surprised. Is it her inside?Exactly the same?The second her?

The photo was also specially blurred... The distant background is the golden and somewhat blurry silhouette of Ying Xiangshan, and in the center is a very clear image of a beautiful woman using an umbrella to cover the golden light. She is smiling at the camera.

"Why won't she move?"

asked Shadow.

"Because...she is you in the photo, still."

The general explained.

"Me in the picture? Which me? Hmm - so profound."

Ying felt a little embarrassed.

"I was the same as you at the beginning...but you get used to it. This is the power of change."

She said.

"Hmm... I'm really surprised... Phew... I thought it was a dream. The movements are exactly the same, and the scenery is the same... You just said it was me."

"Then...if it's me...then what am I now?"

Ah this...

The general trembled slightly...

The other party started again, and sure enough... this is the other party's style.

"Of course you are still you now."

She answered patiently.

"I'm still me?"

Ying covered his head and felt a little dizzy.

"Huh... Is that so? Do you think I... am you in this body?"

The general asked, even solemnly calling himself 'this person'.

"Of course it is... I never planned to give my wife to others. Although you are my child... but... in a sense, you are me."

There is no intention of handing Ina-wife to 'someone else'. Since she can hand it over to the general, then the general is not 'someone else', but this 'me', so... the general is of course her.

"Isn't that okay? You can also understand it this way. The you in this photo is you in the past period. The you just now is recorded in this moment."

"Record…"

Shadow narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Well... records can be regarded as memories, recalling the various traces left in the past, and the photo machine is an item that records these 'traces'."

The general had a clear understanding of himself and explained it.

"Oh...I seem to understand, that is, I...the ones in the photos are me in the past, me at different times...recorded at a certain moment, is it also a form of my existence, right?"

The shadow is clear.

"Yes, you can think of it that way."

The general sighed slightly, he finally taught the other party, alas.

"Well, even for me who pursues 'eternity', my form of existence is constantly changing..."

Thinking of this, Ying felt a little guilty.

"Then how can I ask Ino-Wiva, and everyone living in Ino-Wife... to remain the same?"

At this point, Ying felt relieved... and also showed a self-deprecating expression, mocking himself for his unchanging self in the past.

Then she looked silently at the general in front of her. Her daughter...

Sure enough... the general must have been the best gift he left for her.
