1
I used to think silence was peaceful.
2
Then my mom fell into a coma and silence became the loudest sound in the world.
3
Everything just kept piling up.
4
And worse, it was just the two of us.
5
No rich dad, no secret inheritance,
6
no billionaire auntie waiting to adopt me and fix my life.
7
I tried to stay strong,
8
but when the nurse gently reminded me again that we still had unpaid bills,
9
something inside me finally cracked.
10
I just nodded, locked myself inside the restroom, and finally broke down.
11
I had already sold almost everything I loved.
12
My iPad, my sweatshirts, even the tiny cute things that used to make me happy.
13
What else was I supposed to give?
14
My hair, both of my kidneys.
15
I had almost lost hope.
16
Please, I'll do anything.
17
I'll study harder.
18
I'll stop complaining about homework.
19
Okay, maybe not completely, but I'll try.
20
I won't even call the mean girls at school ugly goblins anymore.
21
Just...
22
Please...
23
I need a miracle.
24
Just then, I heard a calm woman's voice speak.
25
If you want a miracle, then look up.
26
Wait, like...
27
Treasure?
28
Treasure?
29
You are reading it right.
30
A special treasure awaits you.
31
Is this a prank or something?
32
Hello?
33
I slowly turned around expecting a hidden speaker.
34
Or a hospital ghost with good acoustics.
35
But there was nothing.
36
I did not just hear a bathroom wall answer me.
37
The wall did not answer you.
38
I did.
39
This is stress.
40
People cry too hard and start hearing things.
41
So this is totally normal, right?
42
Just then, an arrow beneath the message suddenly started glowing.
43
First I'm hearing things, and now I'm seeing things.
44
What's happening?
45
Believe your own eyes.
46
Only that which you see is true.
47
What is unseen is but an illusion.
48
Okay, okay.
49
Let's say I believe you for three seconds.
50
So, are we talking about gold?
51
Money?
52
Something that I could sell for millions?
53
Because I don't need some riddles right now.
54
I need some miracle.
55
Or at least some actual cash.
56
Or some treasure valuable enough to change your fate fate.
57
Whether it becomes salvation or disaster depends on who finds it first.
58
And right now, you're already running out of time.
59
Out of desperation to save my mom, I eventually gave in.
60
I followed her out of the restroom,
61
through the hallway, and toward the exit while she narrated every tiny step like a freaking GPS.
62
Continue forward and please do not look suspicious.
63
Proceed to the exit.
64
Step over the small crack.
65
Avoid the wet spot.
66
Lift your foot slightly higher.
67
There is an unpleasant object two centimeters ahead.
68
I stepped down and my whole body froze.
69
Oh, my apologies.
70
I meant there was an unpleasant object two centimeters ahead.
71
Too late.
72
Soon we reached a narrow alley between two old buildings.
73
Um, miss, are you sure this is the right way?
74
The path continues forward.
75
Though I understand your hesitation,
76
narrow passages often awaken the mind's instinct for danger.
77
However, if treasure were always placed in bright,
78
comfortable places, far few people would learn anything from searching for it.
79
So that's a yes?
80
Oh, uh, that pretty summarizes what I've said. So yes.
81
I finally stepped into the alley,
82
and thankfully it was only normal scary and not dangerous and life-threatening scary.
83
Just then everything went silent all at once.
84
Even the dramatic pigeon on the street shut up.
85
Miss Lady Voice?
86
Hello?
87
Are you still here with me?
88
Don't worry.
89
I'm here.
90
Just keep walking.
91
Do not turn back yet.
92
Step back and just breathe slowly.
93
I only asked if you were there and I answered with additional guidance.
94
The alley stretched longer than it should have.
95
Soon warm wind rushed past me,
96
and when I looked back,
97
the alley was gone, and I was now standing in an open field under a bright blue sky.
98
Holy yummy cheese balls!
99
Did I just teleport to another place?
100
I also noticed a small glowing orb floating in front of me,
101
shining softly like a tiny star.
102
Yes, you have arrived in one step.
103
The city of freedom.
104
A land of wind, songs,
105
nights, and many stories carried through time.
106
I realized that the glowing orb pulsed when the voice lady continued yapping,
107
so that meant her voice now had some sort of a body?
108
So, you mean I'm not somewhere in Europe and not dreaming?
109
Yes, this is not Europe,
110
nor is it a dream.
111
A world with its own laws,
112
gods, stories, wounds, and miracles.
113
Why am I exactly in this unfamiliar land?
114
I just want my mom to wake up.
115
Then keep walking, Sabrina.
116
The treasure hunt begins here.
117
Fine.
118
If this treasure can really give me a miracle, then lead the way.
119
Watch out!
120
Explosive encounter highly likely nearby.
121
Explosive what?
122
Just then, a loud boom suddenly echoed from somewhere near the trees,
123
and a tiny red figure then burst out from behind a bush.
124
Ta-da!
125
Klee is here!
126
Spark Knight of the Knights of Favonius.
127
She is known throughout for her enthusiasm,
128
remarkable explosive talent, and a long history of incidents that are best described as energetic.
129
Sorry about that.
130
Klee was only doing a little fish blasting.
131
Well, maybe not a little,
132
but the fish tastes so good,
133
so Klee thinks being grounded for a day is worth it.
134
Anyway, are you here for the treasure hunt?
135
You know about that?
136
Uh-huh.
137
Miss Nicole told Klee.
138
She said a dear traveler named Sabrina would arrive.
139
Wait, you can hear her too?
140
And she actually has a name? Of course!
141
Miss Nicole is the best!
142
And she talks inside heads because she can't talk with her mouth.
143
Mom says she's very smart and very nice,
144
but also talks a lot.
145
Alice said that?
146
Yep.
147
I see.
148
Klee skipped closer and grabbed my hand like we've been friends for ten years.
149
Can Klee come play with her today, Miss Nicole?
150
Please?
151
Yes, you are allowed.
152
As far as Alice is concerned,
153
nothing is more important than a request from her beloved daughter.
154
Yay!
155
But why does Sabrina look so sad?
156
Did someone make you cry?
157
Was it a bad guy?
158
Klee can blow them up!
159
Only a little.
160
Well, maybe not a little, but Klee will try!
161
I'm not sad.
162
You are.
163
I know crying faces.
164
Jean makes that face when Klee accidentally causes big disasters.
165
My mom is really sick.
166
She's in a coma right now.
167
That's why I need to find the treasure so I can buy her medicines and pay the bills.
168
Klee gave me a soft smile and squeezed my hand.
169
Mom always says love can travel very far.
170
Even farther than my best boss.
171
So your mom's love must still be with you too,
172
even if she's sleeping.
173
Thanks Klee.
174
You're welcome.
175
And don't worry, we're going to find that treasure,
176
help your mom and only blow up the bad guys.
177
Maybe we can do the first two without the third one?
178
Klee will try very hard.
179
Just then, Nicole's panicked voice suddenly filled my head.
180
Watch out.
181
Hilly Charles incoming.
182
Hilly what?
183
Literally six seconds later, masked monsters burst out of the bushes,
184
and Klee pulled out her bombs like this was a normal Tuesday.
185
Jumpy, jumpy, go!
186
Boing, boing, boom!
187
Oh my god, am I gonna die?
188
Stay calm.
189
Step back.
190
Duck.
191
Now!
192
Before I could fully lose it,
193
golden light bloomed beneath us.
194
Moment of birth!
195
A glowing flower platform rose from the ground,
196
blocking the monsters just in time.
197
Then a calm boy appeared above us and landed lightly.
198
Mr. Albedo, you came!
199
Klee knew you would!
200
I heard explosions nearby and thought it would be wise to investigate.
201
Finding Klee here confirms my hypothesis.
202
Sabrina, this is Mr. Albedo.
203
He's like my big brother, and he's super smart!
204
Nicole quickly explained that Albedo was the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius,
205
and that his knowledge of ancient mechanisms would be very useful for our treasure hunt.
206
Klee is my little spark knight.
207
I need to keep her safe and sound.
208
Besides, investigating the unknown is certainly my thing, so count me in.
209
Well, I guess the more the merrier.
210
After that, Nicole led us to Thousand Winds Temple.
211
An ancient ruin full of broken pillars,
212
weird symbols, traps, slimes, and things that clearly wanted me flattened.
213
But somehow, because of Nicole's directions,
214
Albedo's magic, and Klee's little bombs, we made it through.
215
I thought you were just going to lead me to the treasure.
216
You did not warn me about all this.
217
Seriously, did I get transported into a video game world or what?
218
A world is only called a game by those watching safely from the outside.
219
To those inside it, every path,
220
every danger, every choice is real.
221
Wow, that was beautiful, but also very unhelpful.
222
Then allow me to be more direct.
223
Keep moving!
224
Something larger is approaching.
225
Larger?
226
Just then the ground shook.
227
From the dark corners of the ruin,
228
two giant metal monsters slowly woke up.
229
Please tell me those are statues, please!
230
Unfortunately, no. Those are ruin guards.
231
Ancient machines built for battle.
232
And judging by the glow in their eyes,
233
they have already identified us as a threat.
234
Before I could pee my pants,
235
someone crashed down from a broken wall and stood between us and the machines like a walking shield.
236
One swing sent a ruin guard flying back like a stupid little tin can.
237
Whoa, this guy looked like he could punch a mountain and the mountain would apologize.
238
Uncle Varka, you came!
239
We knew you would.
240
Now the big metal meanies are in trouble.
241
Ah, the almighty Knight of Favonius to the rescue.
242
How timely.
243
Ha!
244
Miss Nicole!
245
Didn't expect to find you leading children into ancient ruins.
246
And I didn't expect you to enter by jumping from a wall.
247
Yet, here you are.
248
Fair enough.
249
When the coast was finally clear,
250
Albedo calmly stepped toward the broken machines and found a small glowing fragment inside them.
251
The moment he lifted it,
252
the air around us shimmered.
253
The first clue has awakened.
254
First clue?
255
Nicole's glowing orb rose into the air,
256
stretched like a flower opening,
257
and became a beautiful woman.
258
Well, there you are.
259
I was wondering how long you planned to stay as a floating light.
260
Wait, your Miss Voice Lady?
261
You actually had a physical form this whole time?
262
Nicole looked at me, and even though her lips did not move,
263
her voice gently entered my head again.
264
My apologies.
265
Until the first clue awakened,
266
I could only guide you through a small projection of my presence.
267
Now that the path has opened,
268
I can take this form before you.
269
However, for certain reasons, I am unable to speak.
270
This is the only way I can communicate with you.
271
Now then.
272
She continued yapping for eight more minutes straight.
273
And from what I understood,
274
she was an angel called N from the Hexen Circle,
275
a circle of powerful witches.
276
She then explained that the glowing fragment was a piece of the treasure's scattered light
277
and could lead us to the traces left across Teyvat.
278
The treasure you seek was broken long ago.
279
Its light scattered across Teyvat, leaving traces behind.
280
This fragment will reach those traces.
281
The brighter it shines, the closer we are to the treasure.
282
Across Teyvat?
283
As in, this whole world of yours?
284
Several regions, yes.
285
That means a long trip, but don't worry.
286
With Miss Nicole's incredible sense of direction,
287
we'd never have to worry about getting lost.
288
Yay!
289
More big adventures!
290
Wait, no, not yay!
291
I need to go back!
292
I have classes tomorrow and a sick mom in the hospital.
293
Nobody told me this treasure hunt came with a lot of obstacles and a whole world tour.
294
I understand.
295
Your fear is not unreasonable.
296
But the treasure you seek cannot be reached by standing still by standing still.
297
Each clue will bring us closer,
298
and each step will return you to the wish that brought you here.
299
Fine.
300
For Mom, I would continue this crazy mission.
301
After that, everything turned into the fastest,
302
weirdest world tour of my life.
303
The Mute Angel continued her directions like an unmutable treasure hunt navigation guide,
304
dragging us across a giant magical map,
305
jumping from one region to another while I tried my best to stay alive and understand what was actually happening.
306
In Inazuma, the sea was angry,
307
the sky was angrier, and my stomach was fighting for its life.
308
Storms often remind mortals that control is an illusion, and yet...
309
Miss Nicole, respectfully, I'm about to throw up into the ocean.
310
I suggest you give the kid the short version, Miss Nicole.
311
Very well.
312
Storms pass.
313
Thank you.
314
That one helped.
315
In Sumeru, we finally got one peaceful break near a waterfall.
316
Albedo sketched the view.
317
Klee showed me Dadoko.
318
And when she said her mom gave it to her so she would never feel lonely,
319
my chest hurt in the softest way.
320
After our little break, Nicole led us to Natlan,
321
where we were nearly roasted alive.
322
Fiery creatures chased us through rocky paths while she calmly yelled directions and at one point,
323
Varka carried Klee and me like luggage.
324
This is fun!
325
Uncle Varka is the best!
326
Hold on tighter!
327
Every trace we followed made the fragment shine brighter,
328
and by the time we reached Fontaine,
329
it was full-on glowing, like it had finally remembered where the real treasure was hidden.
330
Nicole led us beneath the water to hidden ruins,
331
where the fragment pointed us toward the final trace,
332
the one hiding the real treasure.
333
Freaking finally!
334
Soon, we found a mysterious sealed door,
335
and Albedo figured it out like a puzzle in minutes,
336
using one of Fontaine's underwater mechanisms like it was nothing.
337
The sealed door opened, and I thought we had finally reached the treasure.
338
Behind it were more passages,
339
hidden compartments, and even more puzzles.
340
I swear to God, is the treasure shy or what?
341
Ancient civilizations valued protection.
342
Finally, we reached a chamber where a small chest waited on a pedestal.
343
I opened it with shaking hands,
344
but there was no gold,
345
no money, no jewels, nothing I could sell.
346
Inside was just a small, broken, flower-shaped relic.
347
No, we traveled across Tivat for this?
348
For a broken.. thing?
349
Hmm.
350
It is indeed damaged.
351
We can fix this, right?
352
Yes, but not with gold.
353
Not with force.
354
Not even with knowledge alone.
355
Then how?
356
This relic is a vessel of hope.
357
It reflects the heart's deepest wish.
358
It was never meant to make someone rich.
359
It was meant to answer the part of a person who refuses to give up.
360
I stared at the tiny broken flower and slowly understood.
361
The treasure was never something I could sell to fix my life overnight.
362
It was hope.
363
The one thing I had almost lost in that hospital restroom.
364
Nicole said every region had left something inside me.
365
Courage, endurance, wisdom, strength, and truth.
366
I held the broken relic and thought of mom's smile,
367
her warm hugs, and the little things she did whenever I was sad.
368
I wished for my mom to wake up.
369
I don't need gold or anything.
370
I just want more time with her.
371
Please.
372
Just then, the relic started glowing.
373
Golden light filled the cracks,
374
and the broken petals slowly repaired themselves until the flower became whole again.
375
You fixed it!
376
The restoration is complete.
377
The way home can now be opened.
378
A portal appeared behind us,
379
and my chest hurt when I realized I was really leaving them.
380
They were supposed to be just my treasure hunting team,
381
but somehow they had become my friends.
382
Klee hugged me first and gave me a tiny dotiko charm.
383
So you won't forget Klee.
384
Fear doesn't mean you're weak.
385
It means what you're fighting for matters.
386
Always remember that, kid.
387
If fate allows us to meet again,
388
perhaps we could continue this conversation over dessert.
389
You asked for a miracle,
390
but you were the one who kept walking toward it.
391
Remember that too.
392
After a tearful goodbye with them,
393
I finally stepped into the light.
394
When I opened my eyes again,
395
I was back in the hospital restroom.
396
I thought it had all been a dream,
397
until I felt Klee's Dodoku charm in my pocket.
398
So it was real.
399
Everything was real.
400
I ran back to Mom's room.
401
The bills were still there.
402
Mom was still sleeping.
403
But I felt different.
404
Scared, yes, but not empty and hopeless anymore.
405
One day, my seatmate was secretly playing some online game called Genshin Impact,
406
and the second I saw her screen,
407
my soul almost left my body.
408
The characters looked way too familiar.
409
And then it hit me,
410
so I was in a game?
411
That night, I downloaded the game beside Mom's hospital bed,
412
and when Nicole's banner finally appeared, I pulled for her.
413
Not gonna lie, I really miss her voice and her endless yapping about lore and random facts.
414
rewards to enjoy.
415
Uncover a brand new story chapter in Sameru.
416
Meet new Wish Banner characters like Nicole, Prune, and Loen.
417
One afternoon while I was studying beside Mom, her fingers finally moved.
418
Mom?
419
Hey, sweetie.
420
Mommy, you're awake.
421
You're really awake.
422
I missed you so much.
423
And for the first time in a long time,
424
the silence in the room did not feel scary.
425
It felt peaceful at last.
426
Thank you.

Consigli per la pratica
Per ottimizzare il tuo apprendimento attraverso questo video, ti suggeriamo di utilizzare la tecnica di shadow speech. Inizia ascoltando il brano senza ripetere, per comprendere a fondo le emozioni e il contesto. Poi, riproduci il video e prova a ripetere immediatamente ciò che ascolti, mantenendo il ritmo e la tonalità della voce originale. Assicurati di prestare attenzione a come l'oratore esprime le emozioni; ad esempio, il modo in cui la protagonista esprime la sua disperazione. Questo ti aiuterà a migliorare la tua pronuncia e a rendere la tua espressione più naturale.
Fai attenzione alla velocità del parlato; se necessario, rallenta il video per una maggiore chiarezza. Ripeti frequentemente per consolidare il tuo apprendimento: ascolta una frase, pausa e ripeti. Non aver paura di cimentarti con le parti più emotive, poiché praticare il shadowspeaks ti permetterà di gestire meglio il linguaggio colloquiale e le espressioni idiomatiche. Attraverso questa pratica regolare, potrai notare importanti progressi nel tuo viaggio per imparare l'inglese con youtube.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
