Chapter 266

Takumi came to Erya's house with Kagano Nanami.

More than ten years had passed, and Erya had become one of the best-selling cartoonists. Her work, "Tragedies Let Evergrande People Come to Save," had become a phenomenon.

Erya had moved from her original single apartment to her own comic studio. In addition to that phenomenal comic, she had also drawn numerous works about spirits and Teyvat.

Erya knew that an elf was coming to her through the 'Omniscient Angel,' and she knew that Master Heng was coming. Although the 'Omniscient Angel' couldn't directly provide information about the 'Evergrande people,' it could guess through changes in other people's information.

Before Takumi knocked on the door, it opened, and Erya rushed over like a cat, wrapping her legs around his waist.

"Haha, I knew that 'Mr. Evergrande' was coming, and he was bringing a girl with him."

Kagano Nanami blinked and looked at the woman hanging on Takumi. She understood that this woman was also Takumi's elf, just like her.

Takumi patted Erya on the back. "Are you so excited to see me? For us, time is the least valuable thing."

"Hehe, although to the people of Evergrande, it may have just been a moment, it's been ten years for me since I last saw you," Erya said.

Erya got off Takumi, her blue-green eyes filled with longing. She then patted her chest proudly. "I became an official cartoonist in the first year after you left, and became the Rookie King in three years. Now, I am one of the best cartoonists in the country."

Every expression and movement seemed to say to Takumi, "Praise me now."

Takumi chuckled and reached out to touch her head. "As expected of Erya, you truly are amazing. But this is just the beginning for you."

Erya proudly put her hands on her hips. "Yes, that's right! I want to become the world's number one cartoonist, and then the number one in the Teyvat universe."

Takumi said, "With such determination, even if you weren't an elf, you would still receive the Vision."

"By the way, Erya, I'll leave this child to you for the time being."

He didn't plan to travel through the timeline with Kagano Nanami. He wanted to take those spirits away as directly as possible.

Erya knelt down and looked at Kagano Nanami with a smile. "Kagano Nanami, you're such a good girl. Stay with me for now, okay?"

As the owner of the 'Omniscient Angel,' besides Takumi, probably no one understood this child better than her. Here, she would take good care of her.

Kagano Nanami tensed up nervously. "Please, please take care of me."

After settling Kagano Nanami, Takumi picked up a comic book drawn by Erya from the bookshelf. In fact, this comic had another function—precise positioning. As long as this comic existed in the timeline, he could locate it through the emotions generated by those who read it. After all, in the 'quantum state' timeline, it was very difficult to accurately locate.

"Let me take a look..." Takumi closed his eyes, extending his perception to time and space. Faith could ignore time and space.

The voices of people reading comics came to his ears—a lot of voices, very noisy. Most were saying how beautiful a certain elf was, how handsome Evergrande was, or expressing a desire to send blades to the author.

Quickly peeling off the layers, he located 'them.' Silly, how did the savior in the comics come to be?

'Even if it's true, you won't lend a helping hand to me.'

Using faith as a medium, the picture was projected into Takumi's mind.

The sunlight outside the window shone into the white ward, adding a touch of brilliance. There was only a simple bed in the ward. The girl on the hospital bed was holding a comic book, tears still on her cheeks.

The girl had great beauty—long silver-purple hair, silver-purple eyes, and a proud figure. She would certainly be the center of attention when walking down the street.

Miku Izayoi had a voice comparable to the sounds of nature, as if she had been kissed by an angel. At fifteen, she debuted as a singer with "Little Moon Serenade." Because of her voice and looks, she had a smooth career and was loved by fans.

But the entertainment industry was never clean. A certain TV producer took a liking to her and used his position to try to exploit her. Naturally, she rejected him. She thought the matter would end there, but she underestimated the dirty world of adults.

The rejected producer began spreading rumors, and overwhelming scandals about her sleeping with him emerged. Miku Izayoi's reputation plummeted, and fans turned against her, insulting and criticizing her.

This might seem strange, but it was normal. Fans could be very harsh on beautiful girl idols. Idols were perfect fantasy girls and could not have any flaws. To learn that a supposedly perfect idol had compromised herself shattered their fantasy.

The vicious insults overwhelmed Miku, leaving her on the verge of collapse. But she didn't give up. She still had her beautiful singing voice and hoped that she could use her singing to save herself. She wanted to convey her truth through song and show that the rumors were false.

But the outside pressure was too great, and she suffered from aphonia, losing her beautiful voice. On the hospital bed, Miku Izayoi fell into despair. She was a girl who had nothing but her singing, and now she had lost everything. She even considered suicide.

The doctor saw what she was going through and placed a comic book in front of her. She opened it and finished it without realizing it. She felt foolish for believing something that only happened in comics.

Moreover, she couldn't even speak now; she couldn't defend herself. Even if a savior existed, he wouldn't save someone like her—full of scandals. In comics, heroes never saved girls with tarnished reputations; it would sully their image.

Just as Miku Izayoi was drowning in despair and on the verge of falling into misanthropy, a gentle voice sounded in front of the window.

"A true hero will not follow the crowd. Do you want me to save you?"

Miku Izayoi looked up in astonishment. She didn't know when a boy had appeared in the ward. The sunlight made it hard to see his face at first. As her vision cleared, the young man's appearance came into view. Miku was shocked, her lips parting slightly.
