......

Finally, the four of them arrived at Kinan Restaurant in Hanamisaka. It wasn't a fancy restaurant, but it did offer simple fast food like fried tofu ramen.

The owner of Kinan Cuisine is named Kinan Anna. When she saw Suzumiya Yu and her three companions walking towards her, she couldn't help but freeze in place.

Just how big of a spectacle was this? It was the first time she had ever seen anything like it in her life.

It's no exaggeration to say that just the four of them—Suzumiya Yu and her companions—are qualified to represent Inazuma at the Teyvat Seven Kingdoms Parliament.

Chapter 144 The Long-Awaited News

"Um... what would you four like to eat?" Although she was extremely nervous, Kinami Anna spoke first, because she dared not neglect these big shots.

"Give me a bowl of fried tofu ramen, and remember to arrange a private room where no one will bother us." Yae no Miko spoke first, her lively and cheerful demeanor making it hard to believe that she was the Yae no Miko everyone was talking about.

“Okay, no problem. What would the other three like to eat?” Kinami Anna then looked at Suzumiya Yu and the other two.

"As for me... it doesn't really matter, just give me the best-selling dish recently, as long as it's not animal offal," said Ayaka Kamisato.

Ying likes sweets, so she ordered a plate of tricolor dumplings, while Suzumiya Yu casually ordered a traditional snack.

After each person ordered their desired food, the four were led to a private room. The room was very spacious and was probably a place that Munan Cuisine used specifically to entertain VIP customers.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I'll be right there to make the dishes you ordered."

After entertaining the four people, Anna Kinami left the private room, causing the atmosphere inside to become awkward again.

Kage and Yae no Miko sat on either side of Suzumiya Yu, while Kamisato Ayaka sat a little further away, though her attention was always on them.

Occasionally, Yae no Miko would glance at Suzumiya Yu out of the corner of her eye, a triumphant smile playing on her lips.

"I'll be going to Liyue in a while."

Suzumiya Yu suddenly spoke, and her words surprised everyone present, even Yae no Miko.

"Going to Liyue? Does Yu have something to do?" Ayaka Kamisato couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. If Yu Suzumiya went to Liyue, the two of them wouldn't be able to see each other for a long time.

Ying also eagerly awaited Ryou's answer, while Yae no Miko fell into deep thought. She knew Ryou's personality well; his trip to Liyue was definitely not just a simple vacation.

"I have some things to take care of, and I'll go sightseeing a bit while I'm at it." That was Ryou's reply, but his real purpose was completely different.

Before leaving, he needed to make full preparations. Inazuma's various affairs needed to be rearranged because without him, no one would be constantly aware of the potential threats.

"During my absence, you are in charge of handling Inazuma's affairs. If anything happens that I cannot handle, you can send me a message. If I see it, I will definitely return as soon as possible."

"Also, Ayaka, I told you before that I might look for other women, and these two are the ones." Suzumiya Yu confessed directly to Kamisato Ayaka, and these words were also meant for Kage to hear.

He had told Ayaka Kamisato before that she might not be the only woman by his side in the future, so it didn't matter if he told her directly.

As for Kage, Suzumiya Yuu hadn't said anything similar to her, but most of the light novels she'd sent her before were harem novels, so Kage should be able to accept them.

As for Yae no Miko... she already knew about this, and to be honest, she hadn't become Suzumiya Yu's person yet, but that was only a matter of time.

"Oh... I see, I understand." Ayaka Kamisato replied in a very soft voice. Although she had already guessed it, she was still a little unprepared.

At the same time, she was extremely shocked that Suzumiya Yu was able to win over Kage and Yae no Miko. These two were the highest-ranking figures in Inazuma. If she could have them, it would be equivalent to controlling the entire Inazuma.

As for Ying, she thought the same way as Suzumiya Yu. Because she had read many harem light novels, she quickly accepted the idea, although she felt somewhat unhappy about it.

"Oh dear, how cunning! We haven't even gotten to that point yet, but you've already added me to your harem list?" Yae no Miko's tone returned to normal.

"It's only a matter of time. You always like to tease me, and one day you'll pay the price." Ryou retorted without any politeness. At this moment, he would not easily admit defeat.

"Hmm, not a bad answer. If you try a little harder, I might agree with what you just said." Yae no Miko nodded, seemingly quite satisfied with Suzumiya Yu's answer.

She had never thought about this, but if she had to choose, she would definitely choose Suzumiya Yu without hesitation.

After a brief conversation, Anna Kinami came in carrying four plates of food. Upon seeing this, the group stopped talking, since these were things that couldn't be heard by ordinary people.

After the meal, Yae no Miko returned to Narukami Shrine, Kage returned to the castle tower, and Suzumiya Yuu returned to the Kami family home with Kamisato Ayaka.

......

For the next period of time, Suzumiya Yu was busy with his arrangements after arriving in Liyue. He devoted a lot of time and energy to it, and went out hunting much less often. He mainly relied on Rosalind and the others to earn points.

Today, however, an unexpected piece of news caused Suzumiya Yu to immediately stop what she was doing.

According to the information provided by Rosalyn, a blonde traveler appears to have arrived at the port of the island, accompanied by a small flying creature. Since they have just arrived, they are unable to leave the island for the time being.

That must be the protagonist and Paimon that I've been searching for all this time.

Upon hearing this news, Suzumiya Yu was immediately excited. He made arrangements to have Kujo Sara go to the island to receive them and invite them to the castle tower as guests in the name of the Thunder General's envoy.

If nothing unexpected happens, Suzumiya Yu will be able to take care of them at the castle tower, and with Kage by her side, they will have absolutely no chance of escaping.

Unless the other twin intervenes, Suzumiya Yui definitely won't fail. And even if he does intervene, it's not guaranteed he can save the protagonist.

Just to be on the safe side, Suzumiya Yui mobilized all the demons and even arranged for some spies to monitor their movements during the day.

If any unexpected situation arises, they will be eliminated immediately. If that still cannot be resolved, then Ryou Miyako will take matters into her own hands.

This is Inazuma. Suzumiya Yu has become the true controller of Inazuma. From the moment they stepped into this place, the protagonist and Paimon were destined to no longer be able to leave leisurely.

Even if they defeat Rosalyn and the others and escape, they can only hide in Inazuma territory. And as long as they are in Inazuma, they will never be able to escape Suzumiya Yu's pursuit.

Chapter 145 "Master" Has Arrived

"This is Inazuma. I heard from Manyo that this place is called...Remote Island."

At the port of the outlying island, a blonde girl stepped off the ship, with a smaller creature beside her that could hover in the air.

This is the protagonist and Paimon that Suzumiya Yui has been waiting for, and the protagonist of this world is the younger twin, named Hotaru.

"The environment here is somewhat similar to Liyue, yet quite different. However... the way the cherry blossom petals fall is beautiful." Looking at the novel and unfamiliar surroundings, Ying couldn't help but sigh.

Although they barely have any lines in the game's storyline, leading players to jokingly call them the "mute siblings," in reality, Ying is a very lively girl, at least not like in the game where she only says two lines a year.

After completing the registration process at the port of the outlying island, the two arrived at the neighborhood. Although the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order had been abolished, foreigners visiting Inazuma for the first time still needed to undergo a three-day observation period on the outlying island.

They can only leave when the observation period is over, but there are exceptions. For example, if you can get a special pass from the three officials within these three days, you can leave the island ahead of time.

However, such situations are rare, because it is the first time to come to Inazuma and there are basically no local connections, unless there are relatives or friends living here and they have a strong backing.

Ying and the others certainly didn't have it, so after learning the rules, they planned to stay here for three days and then find a way to meet General Lei Dian after the restriction period ended.

"Let's go check out the Statue of the Seven first. I want to see if I can obtain any new elements." Ying looked at her hands. As a traveler from another world, she possessed the ability to absorb the power of the Statue of the Seven.

Having previously visited Mondstadt and Liyue, she has already obtained the power of the wind and geo elements respectively, and can even use them simultaneously, which is much more convenient than the Fatui's Evil Eye, and has no side effects.

As night fell, Luminous and Paimon, who had already obtained the power of lightning from the Statue of the Seven, decided to find a place to rest.

With the lifting of the isolation order, Inazuma's prejudice against foreigners has decreased significantly, mainly because the World Merchants Association provided a lot of help during the reconstruction of Inazuma Castle.

Without them, the reconstruction time of Inazuma Castle might have doubled, and even the Kansei Magistrate, who usually exploited them, became much more obedient.

So, Ying and her companions quickly found a place to stay. It was a hotel, which was said to have been built with funds raised by merchants from the World Merchants Association. Foreigners would get a 50% discount, which was quite a good deal.

......

"The two of them have gone into the hotel; it's time to make our move."

In a corner of the island, Rosalyn, Kujo Sara, Thomas, Udagawa, and Karasuya, following instructions from Suzumiya Yu, set off to find Hotaru and Paimon on the island, with three specific plans in total.

The first plan is for Kujo Sara to meet with them and deliver an invitation from Raiden-sama to the castle tower. If successful, there will be no need to use force.

The second plan was that they would see through Suzumiya Yu's scheme, at which point the five of them could work together to kill them at all costs.

The third plan is that the five of them are no match for them, but they must prevent them from leaving Inazuma. After finding them again, Suzumiya Yu will personally take action.

The second plan will only be implemented if the first plan fails, so Kujo Sara stepped out of the group and headed straight for the inn.

Her status as the Shogun allowed her to quickly learn Ying's room number from the front desk. After finding the room, she gently knocked on the door.

Soon, half of Ying's head peeked out through the crack in the door.

"you are?"

She was wearing pajamas and looked like she was about to go to sleep. Luckily, Kujo Sara arrived just in time; otherwise, she might have had to wait until tomorrow.

“My name is Kujo Sara. You may not have heard of me, but that’s alright. All you need to know is that I am the General’s messenger, and I have come here specifically to find you.”

Kujo Sara got straight to the point, but to her surprise, Hotaru actually recognized her.

"Kujou Sara...you're the one who defeated Manyo's friend?" Ying's eyes widened. She had met Manyo in Liyue and learned some information about Inatsume from him.

This includes the fact that Udagawa lost to Kujo Sara in the duel before the emperor, which is why Hikari remembered her name.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Kujo Sara didn't know Kaedehara Manyo, nor did she know that Udagawa was Manyo's friend. She had defeated many enemies, and quite a few people had died at her hands.

"Please stop this topic. I have come here on the orders of the General to invite you to the castle tower for a chat." With that, Kujo Sara took out an invitation from his pocket, which was engraved with the Thunder General's family crest—Thunder Triple Tomoe.

"General? You mean General Raiden?" Ying hesitated for a moment before accepting the invitation, then a look of surprise appeared on her face. "Why would General Raiden send you to see me?"

Kujo Sara replied, "The General has heard about your deeds in Mondstadt and Liyue. Whether it was saving the Anemo Familiar or defeating the Demon God, your achievements were remarkable. But what interests the General even more is your special ability to manipulate elemental power without the Vision of God."

"Moreover, the general is skilled in martial arts and enjoys sparring with those who are highly skilled in martial arts. This is the main reason why she invited you to the castle tower for a chat."

Kujo Sara revealed the purpose of her trip.

"Who is it, Ying? Is there a guest?" At that moment, Paimon flew out of the room, rubbing her sleepy eyes, wearing a nightcap that looked like Santa Claus on her head.

“It’s an envoy from General Raiden. She said… General Raiden wants to invite me to the Castle Keep to spar with her,” Ying explained to Paimon.

Upon hearing this, Paimon's eyes snapped open: "Huh? No way? General Thunder is actually asking you to fight her? Why?"

"Well... I'm not sure either." Hotaru turned to look at Kujo Sara. "Do I really have to go?"

Kujo Sara replied, "No, whether you accept the invitation or refuse it is none of my business, because my purpose in coming here is simply to deliver the invitation to you."

"As for the rest, that's up to you to decide, but... it's not a wise choice for Inazuma to refuse the General."

Chapter 146 Ying's Concerns

Kujo Sara left after saying that, leaving Hikari and Paimon standing there, still in shock.

Ying's goal is to travel to the seven kingdoms, find her brother, and search along the way for the unknown god who once defeated them.

She went to Mondstadt and Liyue, but ultimately found no information about that god. Instead, her brother appeared once, but unexpectedly he joined the Abyss Order and became an enemy of the entire Teyvat continent.

Ying was puzzled, but she knew that with her current strength, she couldn't know the specific reason behind it, so she had to become stronger.

Meeting the gods of every country remains her wish, and she succeeded in both Mondstadt and Liyue, though those two gods were somewhat different from the gods she remembered.
