I was just a prototype and I didn't fit what she had in mind, so she discarded me. A little while later I woke up and was found by a blacksmith. I was taken to live in Tatarasuna.
I was there at the time. The furnace went out of control and people started getting sick.
Everyone who left to look for help never came back, so eventually I decided to travel to Inazuma city to get an audience with the Shogun. While I was away Niwa ... your ancestor. He decided he'd sacrifice himself to stop the furnace, but was stopped by the very person who made that disaster happen.
He was killed, all just so his heart, obtained through murder, could be used to mess with me. That person wanted to see if a puppet could be corrupted by a heart full of curses.
[ the scenery shifts, and now they are aboard the crux, raucous with cheers and drinking after a successful run, with beidou in the midst of them ]
I’ve discovered that I love the seas. Being free of the Kaedehara clan’s name has given me that. Or perhaps, I could spend my time telling you of the Liyue countryside?
[ he’ll wax poetic about both of them, if he’ll let him ]
[ he will let him, and though he doesn't comment, it's clear he's listening intently. It's not sights he's never seen - he's been to Liyue, and he's done his fair share of traveling over the centuries. But he still enjoys hearing it all as described by Kazuha ]

Though the terms is not exactly correct. She created me.

You've surely heard of the Tatarasuna incident.
no subject
I have.
[ after all, it was one of his ancestors that fled, wasn't it? ]

So that’s the truth of it…
[ all to mess with him. ]
Thank you for telling me, I know that can’t be easy to recall.
no subject
It's what they deserved.
no subject
He doesn’t know exactly how he should feel, but he knows how he does feel.
And so he steps forward to hug him, even knowing he’ll immediately run ]
no subject
I didn't tell you because I want you to pity me. In either case I failed, so it doesn't matter.
Now it's your turn again. Tell me about your wanderings.
no subject
Hmm. Which parts?

[ that sobers him a bit, as he considers that moment in time, ]
That may have been a one time occurrence. But I doubt there will ever be a reason for me to test it again.

[ he has yet to brag about it ]
Though you aren't the first person to tell me to brag...
