My Next Life in Teyvat: I Just Wanted Friends, Not Every Girl's Love!

Chapter 270 - 269 Durandal quickly injected a bit of vitality into her body

Durandal quickly injected a bit of vitality into her body, while also absorbing the aura of Tatarasuna God from within her. Only then did the girl show signs of improvement.

She slowly opened her eyes, looking at Durandal in front of her, thinking she had already died and Durandal was an angel coming to take her. A faint smile appeared on her face.

"Sister, are you here to take me away? To meet Grandma?"

"...I don’t have the time to do such things."

Taking a deep breath, Durandal held the girl in a bridal carry, preparing to take her to the place where the villagers were taking shelter.

The girl, now fully awake, realized that this beautiful sister in front of her wasn’t here to take her to the Sanzu River, but was a living person. She was here to save her.

"Wait... wait a minute, Sister. Could you please help me look around for any dropped Naku Weed and Seagrass? Everyone hasn’t eaten for many days, and I found those with great difficulty."

"...No."

"Is that so?"

The girl was a little disappointed. Thinking of the other hungry people in the shelter, her mood became even more distressed, and she leaned silently in Durandal’s arms.

Durandal quickly headed towards the shelter, which was a cave. Although not very comfortable, rain and lightning could not affect it, making it very safe.

As soon as she approached the cave, two armed men gave her wary looks, their hands on their sword hilts.

Although Durandal looked like a girl without combat power, her attire was not what people living nearby would wear. Could she be from the Shogunate? They had to be careful.

"Uncle Kuroda, Uncle Shiroki, don’t be nervous. This sister is a good person. She just saved me."

"Aoi? Aoi, you’re back? You Child, why did you run out without saying anything?"

Seeing the girl in Durandal’s arms, the samurai called Kuroda quickly ran over. Seeing Aoi’s normal complexion, he breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a chiding tone.

"I’m sorry, Uncle Kuroda. I don’t want to hide inside. I want to help too. I know Mom’s not doing well, and I know she doesn’t want me to worry, always trying to pretend everything is fine. But... but I know the situation is very bad right now."

She was very strong. Even though she was very sad, she didn’t shed a single tear. Kuroda and Shiroki, standing nearby, felt a pang in their hearts.

They were all from the same village. Aoi had practically grown up under their watchful eyes, a very well-behaved and sensible Child.

But it was this sensibility that made people understand many things, preventing her from hiding inside and accepting the protection of adults like other Children.

"Have you talked enough? If you have, let me in. If I’m not mistaken, some of you are on the verge of death, aren’t you?"

Durandal said something that made Kuroda and Shiroki’s expressions change, completely ignoring the atmosphere. Kuroda was very angry, but Shiroki seemed to realize something and stopped Kuroda, who was about to draw his sword, saying urgently.

"You... how do you know? Are you a doctor? Did you come from the Shogunate to investigate the situation?"

After so many days, they had actually lost hope in the Shogunate, but a drowning person would not miss any chance to save themselves.

Durandal did not answer Shiroki’s question. She carried Xiao Qing past the two of them and walked towards the cave.

Kuroda frowned, thinking Durandal looked down on them, these country folk, and felt a bit angry.

Shiroki saw it very clearly. What Kuroda thought might be possible, but Durandal not wasting time here might also be to get in quickly and check on the injured.

"Is it really okay, Shiroki? Can she be trusted?"

"Can we trust her? Then who do we trust? Those who seemed friendly but then went and destroyed the warding stone?"

Shiroki sneered. He could never forget those people who acted friendly but then took advantage of their inattention to destroy the warding stone, turning Yashiori Island into its current state.

Those people shamelessly said that they did this to defeat the Shogunate soldiers. According to the current state of the Rebel Army, if things continued like this, the Shogunate would defeat the Rebel Army.

To force back the Shogunate soldiers, they could only destroy the warding stone and release the Tatarasuna God, using this power to drive back the Shogunate soldiers.

Hmph, they thought it through very well. The Shogunate soldiers were indeed repelled by the release of the Tatarasuna God, but what about the residents living on Yashiori Island?

Even if the Rebel Army and the Shogunate soldiers fought, their lives would not be affected, but after the warding stone was destroyed, look at their lives now, look at how many people have already died!

"We are almost out of food. Recently, some people have started going out to dig for insects to eat. We also don’t have a doctor. A few days ago, an old person couldn’t take it anymore and died. Now, several Children are about to collapse. We finally have hope, and you’re asking me if we can trust her!?"

Shiroki, who was usually the most rational, was exceptionally fierce at this moment, intimidating Kuroda into taking a few steps back.

He sighed. He naturally understood that the current situation was very bad, but they were the few who could protect the villagers. If they also gave up, what would happen to the others?

Although he didn’t know what Durandal came for, he could only place his hope in her.
