The next day, Yunling woke up early and made breakfast.
Lumine and Paimon must be secretly happy to have woken up so early for once.
Just as Yunling finished making breakfast, Lumine and Paimon woke up.
After all, when resting at someone else's house, there's no lounging in bed, and besides, they were already used to waking up early.
"Wow, Yunling, you've already made all the delicious food!"
Paimon excitedly rubbed her hands, but just as she was about to dig in, Lumine pulled her away to wash up.
The little one, being tugged by her small cape, looked quite amusing; Paimon sometimes acted mature like an adult, and other times mischievous like a child.
After a delicious and satisfying meal, Lumine and Paimon were ready to leave.
They had also arranged to meet Thoma at the Komore Teahouse.
"Bye-bye, Lumine, bye-bye, Paimon, come find me to play whenever you're free, I'll make you delicious food!"
"Mhm, Yunling, we'll be back very soon, and Paimon will bring good ingredients so you don't have to spend money!"
"What do you mean 'spend money,' don't be so formal."
...After Lumine and Paimon left, another half an hour passed before Second Sister Kuki Shinobu finally returned with the boss.
"Second Sister, what happened? Was it not smooth this time?"
"The Tenryou Commission said that the notice the boss posted this time was too excessive, and he had to be held for a day before being released."
Yunling turned to look at the boss, who had clearly quieted down after being reprimanded, and wondered what he had posted this time that required him to be held for a whole day?
But thinking about it, it could only be the boss; if it were anyone else, it wouldn't be as simple as just being held for a bit.
"Those hateful Kujou turtles!"
Arataki Itto was still muttering, when Kuki Shinobu came over and slapped him on the back, and Arataki Itto immediately shut his mouth.
"Have you two eaten? I just made some, there's still a bit left."
"Eat, eat, eat! Little Yun, let me tell you, these guys locked me up and didn't give me anything to eat, I was starving!"
"That's what you get!"
Arataki Itto and Kuki Shinobu came to the dining table and served themselves.
"Little Yun, do we have guests?"
Kuki Shinobu just glanced casually before asking.
Yunling told her Second Sister how she met the Traveler and Paimon, and then invited them to stay at her house.
Before Kuki Shinobu could say anything, Arataki Itto, who was beside her, exclaimed:
"What?! Little Yun, you actually prepared grilled meat?!"
He clutched his hair with both hands, his expression one of extreme regret!
"Oh my god, I was actually caught at such an important time! You hateful Kujou Tengu, pay me back my grilled meat!"
The grilled meat Yunling made was a limited-edition of limited-editions; he hadn't eaten it many times to this day.
This time, he suffered a huge loss... Arataki Itto's voice was already loud, and this shout directly made Yunling's ears ache.
Yunling went straight to the kitchen, grabbed a potato and stuffed it into his mouth, then turned back to her Second Sister and said:
"Second Sister, Lumine and Paimon are foreigners. I brought them out from Ritou, and they still lack some procedures. Can you..."
Yunling was uncharacteristically a little guilty. She had guaranteed this matter to her Second Sister beforehand without asking her, and wondered if she would be angry.
Kuki Shinobu readily agreed; these were all minor matters.
Yunling also relaxed, and turning around, saw that Arataki Itto was already on his third bowl.
"Boss, how can you eat so much?!"
After a noisy breakfast with the boss and Second Sister, Yunling asked her Second Sister:
"Lady Yae Miko has invited me many times, and it's not good to keep declining. I plan to go to Mt. Yougou. Sister, do you want to come along?"
Kuki Shinobu immediately shook her head.
She was trying to avoid it, why would she eagerly go?
She looked at Yunling again, then Kuki Shinobu went to rest with peace of mind. This girl couldn't possibly be tricked into becoming a Miko. If she really was tricked into becoming a Miko, then Lady Yae Miko must be truly impressive.
Yesterday, while the boss was locked up, she had been reading books all night outside, and now she was indeed a bit sleepy...
The Grand Narukami Shrine is located at the summit of Mt. Yougou, so to reach it, one must climb Mt. Yougou.
However, for Yunling, a girl with boundless energy, these were no trouble at all.
Yunling came to the Grand Narukami Shrine this time for two reasons: firstly, Lady Yae Miko had indeed invited her many times, and her Big Sister was also here, so visiting could be considered a family visit.
This would prevent her Big Sister from always complaining that she was closer to her Second Sister than to her.
Secondly, there was another important matter: the Traveler seemed to be coming here today, apparently because of that 'greatest swordsman in the world.'
Thinking of this, Yunling couldn't help but chuckle.
If you're the greatest swordsman in the world, then what am I?
Her greatsword grows larger and heavier when using skills; can you withstand a full-power strike?
However, they were probably talking about swordsmanship, otherwise, talking about strength would be a stretch.
In Inazuma, when it came to fighting, Yunling had never lost.
Lost in thought, Yunling quickly arrived at the Grand Narukami Shrine.
Looking up, Yunling saw Lady Yae Miko standing before her, smiling.
Her soft pink long hair was tied at the ends, and fox ears, symbolizing her status as a divine messenger, were adorned with earrings inlaid with purple gems. Her Electro Vision was set in the earring on her right ear.
"Little one, it wasn't in vain that Big Sister waited for so long. It seems you still care about Big Sister."
"Hmph, I came to see my Big Sister, not to cook for you all."
Lady Yae Miko covered her mouth and chuckled, gently lifting Yunling's chin with two fingers, then retracted them the moment the latter tried to swat her hand away.
"Don't be so impatient. Come, Big Sister will take you on a tour first. Our shrine is very beautiful..."
...The perspective shifts to Lumine and Paimon.
After leaving Yunling, the two headed to the Komore Teahouse, met Thoma, and under his guidance, Lumine and Paimon were taken to see the towering, majestic Statue of the Omnipresent God.
Lumine felt the wishes represented by the Visions embedded in this colossal Statue of the Omnipresent God.
Scene after scene flashed in her mind, making Lumine wonder:
These seemed to be more than just wishes; many were even obsessions. If, as Thoma said, the Visions were taken away, it meant these wishes, these obsessions, were also taken away. What would the people who originally possessed these Visions become then?
Subsequently, Lumine and Paimon followed Thoma to the Kamisato Estate and "met" the "Heron Princess."
However, the "Heron Princess," who had initially promised to introduce them to the Raiden Shogun, instead wanted to pull them into the resistance against the Vision Hunt Decree. Lumine immediately became displeased and angrily prepared to leave.
Having experienced the battle in Mondstadt, Lumine deeply understood the terrifying power of gods. Venti, who usually slacked off, in his wrath, even directly flattened all the monsters in Mondstadt with a single arrow, bypassing them.
How could this Raiden Shogun, who sounded difficult to provoke, be so easily resisted?
She was here to find her brother, not to rebel.
