Oh, Senpai.

Yes, I was just reading.

I wanted to learn more about Nezha,[sr]so I was re-reading her story.

I had read “Journey to the West” before, but I learned of “Investiture of the Gods” only recently.
 |

[k]
 | 
						||
 |

@Mash
 |

Have you heard of it?
 |

[k]
 |

 |

?1:Both novels are pretty popular.

?2:I don't think that many people have read the original text...
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Mash
 |

So there are many spin-off works from the original text.
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
?!
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Mash
 | 
						||
Human culture never ceases to amaze me.
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Mash
 | 
						||
The frequently mentioned Chinese classics are: “Journey to the West,” “Romance of the Three Kingdoms,” “Water Margin,” and “The Plum in the Golden Vase.”
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Mash
 | 
						||
Though many of the passionate readers switch the “Golden Vase” with “Investiture of the Gods” to insist that it is one of the great classic Chinese novels.
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Mash
 | 
						||
And some say that the “Investiture of the Gods” is one of the great Chinese classics, along with “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” and “Journey to the West.”
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
[charaFace A 12]

@Mash
 |

I also took a brief look at related Chinese texts...
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Mash
 | 
						||
But it appears that the lore for Nezha greatly differs from work to work.
 |

[k]
 |

?1:Really?
 |

 |

[charaFace A 0]

It appears that she has Taoist,[sr]Buddhist, and even Hindu origins.
 |

[k]
 | 
						||
 |

@Mash
 |

Although, that isn't really unique,[sr]even among the Servants we know...

[k]
 |

The Nezha that we know appears to be the most similar to the version from “Journey to the West”...
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Mash
 | 
						||
The Nezha of “Investiture of the Gods” seems[sr]like a better fit for a Berserker than a Lancer...
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Mash
 | 
						||
But Nezha is...hard to define. So many characteristics and aspects are jumbled together.

[k]
 |

 |

[charaFace A 0]
 |

@Mash
 |

In “Investiture of the Gods,” many supernatural beings and spirits of various time periods assemble and participate in a bloody melee.
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
?1:It's like Chaldea.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Mash
 | 
						||
If you're likening “Investiture of the Gods” to an all-star battle set during the Ming Dynasty, you would not be far off the mark.

[charaFace A 8]

@Mash

Though, I would prefer to not use the word “melee”...
 |

[k]
 | 
						||
 |

?2:Both Heroic Spirits and humans have hidden sides.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
[charaFace A 12]
 | 
						||
 |

@Mash
 |

True...it's not right to judge others by rumors or titles alone.

On one hand, Nezha is enshrined as a god in China and Southeast Asia, even in modern times.
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Mash
 | 
						||
Don't you think it's odd for a god to be depicted as a youth?
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Mash
 | 
						||
I was very curious about that,[sr]and that's why I went to the library...
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
?1:Why don't we just ask Nezha?
 | 
						||
 |

[charaFace A 13]

@Mash

Wouldn't...that be too...bold of us?

 | 
						||
 |

[charaFace A 12]

With so many aspects, maybe there are some she would prefer be left alone? Still...

It appears that she is participating in a meeting run by the “Buddhist Club.”

This is the first I heard of the group, as well.

I've heard of groups like “Old Men Seriously Reading Fairytales” and “Air Basketball Club”...

If it's a Buddhist Club, would the conditions to join the club be renouncing the world and becoming a monk?
