Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

Since the Fox God Palace fell into slumber, the Raijin (Thunder God) has remained secluded. The new priest, Yae no Miko, has taken charge of the shrine, entrusting the affairs of the demon clan to Torachiyo and Sasa Yuri. However, Chiyo lacks the talent for management and is impatient, so she often escapes from the demon world.

Sometimes she would sit in the attic of the castle tower, a place that had once been filled with laughter and joy.

Sometimes she sits under the cherry trees at Narukami Shrine, reminiscing about the beautiful scenery of that time.

Sometimes she would wander through the White Fox Fields, searching for traces of her friend.

Today, she sits alone by the desolate sea, in the moonlight, on a mountaintop, her feet dangling in mid-air, drinking alone.

She was a demon on the battlefield, a general among all demons, and a stunningly beautiful woman who amazed countless people.

If it weren't for that clueless guy ruining her mood, she would have been sitting here, enjoying the beautiful night view.

but...

Forgive him this once, but if he dares to leave without saying goodbye again, I'll bite him hard!

The girl thought so.

...

"So, how long are you going to keep hugging her? The shrine maidens are coming soon."

The next morning, Narukami Taisha Shrine.

After returning from the desolate sea, Su Chen chatted and drank for most of the night. When he woke up, he found the ghost girl hugging him, which made him feel quite helpless.

From the moment we met, we've been hugging, and we're still hugging now. Chiyo, don't you know how strong you are?

"Come on, come on, what does it have to do with me?" Half-awake and half-asleep, Torachiyo mumbled a few words, arched her head, and shifted to a more comfortable position.

Suddenly, the girl realized something, opened her eyes abruptly, sat up, looked left and right, pinched her arm hard, and said, "Ouch!" Then she laughed foolishly, lay back down, and continued to hug Su Chen.

Su Chen: "..."

Hey, hey, hey, please give me some control over Cardodia's body, okay? I'm not your body pillow!

beep.

There was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Um... Lord Su Chen, are you up? There's a small stage performance at the shrine today, it's about to start, would you like to go and watch?" It was a member of the envoy group.

Before Su Chen could speak, Torachiyo impatiently shouted, "No, no, get out of here!"

"Huh? It's a woman..."

Didn't you hear me tell you to get lost?

"Yes Yes!"

Perhaps startled by instinct, the Mondstadt envoy outside quickly fled, muttering as he ran, "By Barbatos, Lord Su Chen is actually in the room..."

Su Chen: "..."

Seeing the smug look on Torachiyo's face, Su Chen sighed helplessly.

Well, now even jumping into nuclear wastewater won't clear my name.

...

It was close to noon when Su Chen finally escaped from Hu Qiandai's 'imprisonment'.

This girl wasn't actually that clingy before, but Su Chen also knew that after so many things happened to Inazuma, the simple-minded Torachiyo didn't think too much about it. She only knew that all the beautiful times of the past had disappeared because of that disaster.

Even the most powerful demons have a soft side.

That's how Torachiyo is. Although she doesn't do anything serious on a daily basis, she cherishes her past memories the most.

According to Torachiyo, Inazuma has not fared well over the past five hundred years. Although she was able to repel the dark monster with the help of the dragon lizard army, the casualties among the demon race were actually acceptable. However, the main problem was that Raiden Shin and Kadodia had an accident, which led to the stagnation of faith. The Shadow moved from behind the scenes to the forefront, but neither her ability nor her own will allowed her to properly fulfill the duties of the Thunder God.

Thus, the puppet general, who operated as a machine and maintained order in Inazuma, was born.

For the next few centuries, Inazuma was a stagnant pool in Torachiyo's eyes. Seira Island was sealed off because of the Dragon King's disappearance. All the people who believed in Kadodia had never witnessed the Dragon King's fall, so they still firmly believed that the supreme thunder would one day return.

Now, the Thunder are back.

Torachiyo was very happy, genuinely happy.

What's upsetting is that Su Chen is burdened with the title of 'Mondstadt Envoy'. What? How can the Dragon King of Inazuma be an envoy for the cricket Mondstadt?

Although she was very angry, Su Chen had his own plans, so Torachiyo could only compromise. In any case, as long as Cardodia was there, that was enough for her.

The performance on the small stage at Narukami Shrine was a rehearsal for the Dragon King Festival. It was actually only open to internal staff, but because of Kujo Sara's previous instructions, the shrine maidens allowed the Mondstadt delegation to watch. However, they were not very welcoming to Su Chen, the leader of the Cadodia haters.

The performance included Kagura, instrumental music, ritual ceremonies, and a miniature statue of the Kadordia Dragon King, which was a statue in the form of the Thunder Dragon King.

In the afternoon, Kujo Sara returned to Narukami Taisha.

The girl with the tengu-like appearance did not look well.

Although no one said it explicitly, Su Chen could tell from her expression that the operation to capture the blonde devil was not going well.

However, Kujo Sara did not come away empty-handed. Yesterday, she fought with the opponent and preliminarily confirmed the identity of the blonde demon.

A traveler from a foreign land, an honorary knight of Mondstadt, and the heir to the Liyue Emperor... Kujo Sara thought about it more and more and felt that something was wrong. How could such a person be the villain who slandered Lord Kadodia, as the samurai said?

They're not even involved!

After much thought, I decided to grab the person first.

In addition, she was in a hurry to come back to find Su Chen because she wanted to ask him about the Traveler. After all, the former had just participated in the Emperor's Festival in Liyue and should know the Traveler.

“I don’t know her. I’m not familiar with her,” Su Chen said decisively.

"Is this so..."

Kujo Sara pondered for a moment, then asked Su Chen about his knowledge of travelers.

"She seems to be a good person, and she's said to have been recognized by the will of the Human Emperor and blessed by the immortals of Liyue... Hmm, are you sure you're not mistaken? Although I don't know her well, she shouldn't be a bad person."

Traveler, this is all I can do to help you.

Kujo Sara sighed softly, "I've actually thought about that too, but the current situation is getting more and more out of control. That guy has cut off the weapons of almost everyone who is chasing her. This loss is not small even for the Tenryo Magistrate."

It's really strange. Does that guy have a fetish for weapons that can be used to kill people?

Kujo Sara had no time to think about it, because she soon saw Torachiyo, who was also at Narukami Taisha.

Kujo Sara had naturally heard of Torachiyo's great name. She was a member of the Tengu clan and was raised by Sasa Yuri from a young age. After growing up, she entered the secular world to serve the shogunate and was fostered by the Kujo family. She carried out the will of the Raiden Shogun under the name 'Kujo Sara'.

"Lord Mikoto, what are you doing here?" Kujo Sara held this demon general of the same generation as Ōtengu in high esteem, and even changed his way of addressing him.

"What's it to you?" Torachiyo said dismissively. "Inazuma is so big, I can go anywhere."

After saying that, he handed Su Chen a bluish-gray bottle.

"Here, this is a bottle of fine wine that the Divine Child treasures. That guy is so stingy, he hides it so well that I have to search for it for ages every time."

"She probably found it for you on purpose."

"How could that be? Are you doubting my abilities?"

"What does finding wine have to do with strength?"

Given the cunning of this sly fox, is it really that hard for her to toy with the straightforward Torachiyo? Hmm... even as a senior member of the demon race, the Divine Child probably wouldn't dare to go too far, otherwise it would be a headache every time Torachiyo comes to Narukami Shrine to vent her anger and demolishes the shrine.

After Su Chen finished speaking, he looked at Kujo Sara and found that the latter's mouth was wide open, big enough to fit a coral pearl.

"Lord Kujo Sara, we'll have to trouble you to take us to Inazuma," Su Chen said with a smile.

"Ah, okay, um... no, it's nothing..."

Kujo Sara wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so in the end she said nothing.

"Hehe~ Let's go." Tiger Chiyo pulled Su Chen forward.

Nine Sasaras and a group of Mondstadt envoys were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Hey, the girl you mentioned in Lord Su Chen's room today, could she be that girl?"

"How would I know? I didn't go in, but the voice does sound like it."

"She has horns on her head."

"I never expected that Lord Su Chen would get involved with someone so soon after arriving in Inazuma."

"He is truly a role model for us all."

"She has horns on her head."

"Lord Su Chen is Lord Barbatos's most loyal follower. Look how free he is! I've decided, I want freedom on this trip to Inazuma too!"

"for freedom!"

A group of Mondstadt envoys were ignited and followed in Su Chen's footsteps.

"She has horns on her head..." The rest of the people clicked their tongues. Oh well, it's freedom. As long as there is love, it doesn't matter if she has horns.

...

at the same time.

Wilderness of the White Fox.

Two heads emerged from the jungle.

"Traveler, you should be safe now, right?"

"Is that so..."

"Phew~ That scared me to death! That archer woman was terrifying; she kept chasing us."

Once she was sure it was safe, Ying emerged from the woods and brushed the weeds off her clothes.

"Where am I again?" Paimon scratched his head. He had been so focused on escaping that he hadn't paid any attention to where he was. But then again, there were Heavenly Commanders everywhere now, so it was all the same no matter where he went.

"Traveler, shall we return to the Kasuri-yashiki?"

Ying shook her head: "We're wanted by the authorities, we can't cause trouble for Miss Kamisato."

"What should we do then? If this continues, we'll never see General Thunder again, and those warriors will chase us to the ends of the earth."

Ying didn't know what to do either, so she decided to just take it one step at a time.

After about half an hour of fumbling around, the two came to see an old shrine in front of them.

It was dark.
