Because he didn't want too many people to know the true relationship between himself and himself.
Maybe it was just his inner chuuni acting up..
He liked that feeling,
The feeling of having multiple identities, some of which were incredibly famous and formidable, while he himself would occasionally walk around using a low-profile "small account" in everyday life.
He looked forward to the day when Renjiro, together with his teammates, walked out of the Dungeon, exhausted, and headed toward The Hostess of Fertility to enjoy a hearty meal…
And beside him, other adventurers would be passionately bragging about the latest earth-shaking feat accomplished by The Twin Stars
He also looked forward to the day when, while people loudly praised The Twin Stars in public, others would secretly slander and badmouth them,
Meanwhile, he would be right there, quietly watching everything unfold from a completely different angle.
This was,
Absolutely, undeniably,
A form of greedy desire.
A chaotic mindset that would be difficult for most to accept.
This was Renjiro's nature.
"How ugly and ridiculous."
"I don't deny it."
"But this is who I am."
"Yes."
The Renjiro in the book… and Renjiro himself… spoke in perfect unison:
"This is me."
In reality, the High Grimoire had already turned into a pile of blank pages, scattered on the floor, looking as though they would crumble to ash with just a touch.
And Freya, standing beside him…
She saw it.
Even if only for the briefest moment,
She witnessed the radiance of Renjiro's soul.
A pure white, flawless soul?
A soul shining like gold?
No.
It was everything.
It was…
"The world?"
==========
When Renjiro regained consciousness, he realized he was lying on the ground, apparently having fallen off the little wooden stool.
And…
"Hey, Sis, the carpet's nice and all, but with your normal human body, you really shouldn't be sitting on the floor like that. You'll catch a cold."
His head… was resting on Freya's lap.
She was no longer seated on her majestic throne.
Instead, like an ordinary village girl, she sat folded on her knees at the edge of the chair.
She gently brushed aside a few strands of Renjiro's hair from his forehead.
With a quiet laugh, she said:
"Unfortunately, you are not the Odr I am searching for."
Wait.
This gorgeous goddess… just said something absolutely insane, didn't she?
Renjiro now didn't know whether he should panic… or relax.
But then,
"Wiill he be anything like you?"
Yet another sentence that others might not understand,
But Renjiro understood instantly.
At that moment,
"You're beautiful, Big Sis. I'm sure you'll find a wonderful partner."
He truly meant it. No flattery. No hesitation.
Hearing that, Freya let out a soft laugh.
"I hope so."
She lightly patted his shoulder.
"Alright, get up. I've been kneeling here with your head on my lap for so long, my legs are numb."
Could she not say it in such a misleading way?!
Renjiro immediately jumped to his feet.
He then offered his hand to help Freya stand as well.
Judging from how stiffly she moved, her legs really were numb.
Just for the sake of letting him lie more comfortably?
Renjiro suddenly found himself… thinking a lot.
As for Freya,
"Let me update your Status again."
Once she returned to her throne, the goddess who sat at the peak of Orario looked at him, gesturing to the small stool, her gaze deep and meaningful.
"You let me see that light. I'm very pleased."
"Now… I'm even more excited to see what kind of Fourth Magic you will awaken."
Naturally,
Renjiro, being the one involved, felt even more anticipation than she did.
Not long after,
As Renjiro lifted his shirt to reveal his back, the goddess's divine blood slowly dripped down…
Avatars share full sensory and consciousness links with the original, and the magic connection cannot be forcefully severed by any external force, only the original can choose to cut it.
The separated avatar possesses the ability.
"Emmmmm~"
As Renjiro received the third parchment of the day from Freya, her expression full of astonishment, and finished reading through the contents, he couldn't help feeling puzzled.
Another_Adams…
Without question, this term had deep ties with Genshin Impact
But this time,
It was not a gift from his Genshin System.
He had asked already.
The system's answer was:
[This is your own magic. It has no relation to this system.]
So then…
"Do I possess the 'Primal One' authority…?"
Renjiro thought silently.
"When the 'Genshin System' chose me as its host… was that really just coincidence?"
