Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 218 The Non-Existent Person (5)

On the other side, in Sumeru City, on Baoshang Street.

In a secluded alley, small stalls are set up. Unlike the hustle and bustle just a wall away, the customers coming and going are all wrapped up tightly and complete their transactions in silence.

This is a gray area that disciplinary officials usually don't patrol, and it's also a clandestine underground black market.

"Hey, no offense, but you don't look well. Don't you really need to go to the health center?"

A pink-haired girl wearing burgundy diamond-shaped glasses handed over a bottle of calming alchemical potion. She slightly raised her eyes, accepted Mora, and asked a question as if it were casual.

This is the fourth time this month. What could possibly be causing such distress to the famous young dancer?

Emotional issues are highly unlikely, because the guys who covet her will probably be drowned in Port Ormus by the theater members.

So, what kind of trouble is it exactly?

The girl in the black trench coat in front of me gave a bitter smile, her light blue eyes under the hood gleaming with a sense of melancholy.

"Thank you, Dolly, but as for my situation... Health House doesn't seem to have any good solutions either."

Very few people know that the ever-smiling face on stage has long been a false mask.

The girl behind that mask hadn't shown a genuine smile in a long time, for some unknown reason.

Even the dance she had always loved could no longer stir the slightest ripple in her heart.

The dance of the goddess of flowers five years ago became the starting point for everything, and since then, everything has changed.

As her sense of disappointment with her performances grew, she watched the audience cheer and revel in her dance, but she could no longer find the joy she once had.

The truth was hidden in her heart, and she knew the reason very well.

In every performance she eagerly anticipated, she never saw the figure she had been longing to see.

But that cannot be called the truth, because she didn't even know who the person waiting was or what his name was.

He watched each audience member enter with anticipation and prayer, and finally began the performance with regret.

After countless ups and downs, she began to fear performing, fear facing disappointment, and fear facing confusion.

Is she running away? But so many people are looking forward to her performances, so many people have high hopes for her.

Mr. Zubair, teacher, Dina Zede...

And then there's him, the one who seems to never exist.

She often saw his figure in her dreams, but she couldn't see his face clearly. She searched through her memories, but there was no trace of him.

Should she apologize? She doesn't remember anything...

But the young dancer knew that person must be very important; she wanted him to come and watch her performance, but who was he...?

Countless prayers, countless memories.

Since you keep appearing in my dreams, no matter what... you must be worried about me, right?

Then come see one of my shows, look at me, and give me a chance to recognize you in the vast sea of ​​people.

But he never came, and this continued for five years.

Each performance is like a beautifully wrapped gift box, which may contain the answer she is seeking.

But when it was opened, only disappointing wrapping paper was left scattered all over the ground, unattended.

On one hand, there is the fear of facing disappointment and regret; on the other hand, there is the possibility that she will never be able to find the audience she has been waiting for again.

Insomnia and nightmares became frequent occurrences, to the point that sedative alchemical potions were needed to aid in treatment. Even at this point, the latter still prevailed.

Isn't it ridiculous? All for someone who might only exist in delusion and dreams.

She dared not, and could not, talk about these things with others, and when her friends asked, she would simply brush them off.

Stubborn or naive, she never denied that Nel was that kind of girl.

She will keep waiting, either until that person returns on their own initiative, or until she finds the answer in her own way.

Dolly sighed. She knew she couldn't persuade the girl in front of her, so she simply kept quiet.

The potion was specially prepared by a famous alchemist in Mondstadt, and hopefully it will be of some help to her.

That's a good point, but who doesn't have worries?

She doesn't really have the right to say these things.

"I'll be going now, thank you, Dolly."

Nilu thanked her softly, then pulled down her hat brim and hurriedly left Baoshang Street with the potion.

Watching her walk away, Dolly suddenly felt bored, and earning Mora didn't seem so appealing anymore.

She packed up her stall, hesitated for a moment before leaving, and finally headed in a direction outside the city.

For years, the name Dori Sango Mahabayi has been a well-known legend in Xumi.

He started from scratch, penniless, and then gradually became the wealthiest business magistrate in the entire Sumeru region.

The animal paradise is a place where trade routes are built, and all kinds of rare treasures are available. There is also a mysterious supplier, and even how much Mora she possesses remains a mystery.

Dolly walked slowly along the path, the wind blowing in her face carrying the faint bitterness of grass and dew.

The small villas in the distance can also be seen.

As everyone knows, Lord Dori Sango Mahabay owns a magnificent palace—El Kassazalai Palace.

Located in the Mushroom Cave, it was designed by the renowned architect Kavi and used countless rare materials.

"Golden and magnificent" is not enough to describe its luxury. If there is a building that can compare with it, it is none other than the Jade Pavilion in Liyue.

But for Dolly, it was merely her property, a symbol of wealth and status, nothing more.

In her heart, this small house, so far removed from Casazale Palace, was her true home.

Who would have thought? The now-famous Sangmahabai once didn't even have the money to buy medicine for his sister.

If it weren't for a contract of unknown origin, she might have nothing left by now.

She worked desperately to earn Mora, just so she wouldn't have to experience that moment of despair and helplessness again, and just so she could protect the people she wanted to protect when she encountered danger.

After getting Mora, the first thing she did was to find the whereabouts of the person who signed the contract.

However, the contract used a false name, and she searched all over Sumeru, but the figure from back then was nowhere to be found.

However, she will not give up.

Dolly Sango Mahabay is not an ungrateful person; wherever he is, she will eventually find him.

Certainly, those who break their promises will be punished by being eaten by rocks.

The villa was getting closer, but this secluded residence, which almost no one knew about, suddenly welcomed visitors today.

The little girl looked on in confusion. Why were the young lady from the Dina Zedai family and her bodyguard suddenly here?
