The Wanderer and the Priestess

Chapter 1

Izanagi's POV. One year after.

Izanagi: To think you'll let me live with you when I was running away from the Tenryou Commission.

I asked the fox envoy who is leaning on one of the torii while I'm sweeping the front entrance of the Grand Narukami Shrine.

Miko: Why? Not happy to settle down with a beautiful woman?

Izanagi: She's going to tease me for this.

Then she quickly stepped forward and leaned towards my face, which our faces are only inches apart.

Miko: Or you just want to wander around the world and want me to come along with you?

Izanagi: You're the Head Priestess of this shrine. You can't just up and leave here for the reason of accompanying me on my journey?

Miko: Hmmmm, so it means.......

She leans back as I saw her in the verge of tears.

Miko: *sniffle* You don't want me to join you? Even though we practically lived with each other for almost a year now?

Miko: Are you just going to leave me here?

Izanagi: I just wish all of this to be over.

Izanagi: So that I can wander Teyvat once more.

Miko: Hey! Are you even taking me seriously!?

I put the broom aside, stepped forward the fox envoy, raised her chin with my hand and looked at her directly in the eyes.

Izanagi: Miko, you know I'm a very sincere person.

Izanagi: You know that.

Izanagi: And here you are, asking me if I'm taking you seriously?

I then turned around, grabbed the broom as I said these words when I was about to head to the courtyard.

Izanagi: That is my question, Miko. Are you even taking me seriously?

I stopped for a moment and looked back at her.

Izanagi: Or you do you like joking around too much that other people may will just think that you're just joking.

Izanagi: Even though you're not.

I then went to the courtyard to sweep the fallen Sakura Blossoms in the courtyard, leaving Miko alone in the entrance.

Miko's POV.

Miko: *sigh*

Miko: Can't even get through him, huh?

Miko: I guess he encountered something like this when he was still travelling Mondstadt and Liyue.

Miko: I need a better plan..........
