[ The Ongyokikan is an organization under the jurisdiction of the Kanjou Commission. ]
[ Those who come to Ritou for business, events, delivering letters, or transporting goods must first register at the Ongyokikan. ]
[ It's equivalent to completing island entry procedures. ]
[ This procedure originally did not require a fee, but under the Sakoku Decree, the Kanjou Commission issued a directive to collect registration fees from outsiders. ]
[ However, locals all know that this fee collection is an entirely self-imposed regulation by the Kanjou Commission. ]
[ It doesn't even have any proper standards. ]
[ The collected fees do not enter Inazuma's national treasury; they are all divided among the people of the Ongyokikan and the Kanjou Commission. ]
[ The registration fees are exorbitant. ]
[ If they encounter a wealthy foreign merchant stranded in Inazuma who is honest and submissive, they directly demand registration fees of millions of Mora. ]
[ If an outsider has a local acquaintance, it's at most a few hundred Mora, or even no Mora at all. ]
[ Anyway, the Ongyokikan's income is not a legitimate income that affects Inazuma's livelihood, so I simply raided it, considering it my travel expenses. ]
[ It's a pity this operation only yielded over a million Mora. ]
[ From the documents in the treasury, I learned that the Ongyokikan calculates its daily earnings before closing each day and sends the bulk of it to the Kanjou Commission. ]
[ This also aligns with the process of corruption from top to bottom. ]
[ But no matter, over a million Mora is enough for a while. When there's an opportunity later, I'll directly raid the Kanjou Commission. ]
All the women: "!?"
The women scattered across other nations were stunned by Su Xuan's actions.
Especially those in high positions in their own countries, like Acting Grand Master Jean, Tianquan Ningguang, and the great star Furina.
They felt an indescribable tightness in their chests.
After all that, the Mora Su Xuan took from the Ongyokikan all came from the citizens of their own countries.
"I've long heard that Inazuma is enforcing the Sakoku Decree, not prohibiting outsiders from entering Inazuma, but prohibiting Inazuma's citizens from leaving Inazuma."
"So, it's to lure outsiders in and slaughter them."
"With the Kanjou Commission's blatant corruption like this, doesn't Inazuma's Archon care?"
"If these people fell into my hands, I'd send them to the Fortress of Meropide to be companions with concession coupons for life."
Furina could feel the grievances in the hearts of the outsiders stranded in Inazuma, even through the diary.
It was just to register information, yet the Ongyokikan demanded millions of Mora, which was even higher than the fee for her performances as the Hydro Archon.
It was utterly arrogant and unforgivable.
Naganohara Fireworks.
Yoimiya stared blankly at the thick stack of Mora in front of her, estimating it to be several hundred thousand at a glance.
She imagined Su Xuan, to thank her, had split the Mora he took from the Ongyokikan fifty-fifty with her.
"Eek!" Yoimiya shivered, "Wouldn't that make me an accomplice?"
"No wonder he didn't reveal my identity in his diary, always using 'the kind her' instead."
"So he was afraid of exposing my identity."
"Does he know his diary will be seen by others?"
"Wait, no matter how I think about it, something feels off."
Naganohara Fireworks is located in Inazuma City, but the Ongyokikan is in Ritou.
To get from Inazuma City to Ritou, one must pass through the Byakko Plain and Konda Village.
Su Xuan acted in the dead of night, traversing the Byakko Plain and Konda Village to reach Ritou, and then heading to the Ongyokikan.
Half a night's time wouldn't even be enough to get out of the Byakko Plain, so how could he travel back and forth between Inazuma City and Ritou?
And raid the Ongyokikan in between?
"Even if he unlocked some kind of power, it shouldn't be possible."
"If it really is like that, then how powerful must he be..."
Yoimiya suddenly felt her head throbbing.
Now that she thought about it, her kind deed last night might have led her to meet an extraordinary person.
A flash of golden light passed by her eyes.
Yoimiya immediately snapped back to reality, glanced at the glittering Mora on the table, and quickly stored it in her Vision's storage space.
"This Mora absolutely cannot be known by others."
"If I get a chance to see Su Xuan again in the future, I'll return it to him."
"It's just..."
Thinking of Su Xuan, who was about to embark on his journey, Yoimiya sighed regretfully: "Fate is like a firework, fleeting. I wonder if I'll ever get to see him again."
"However, at least with this diary, it's good to know his every move."
"I hope he has a good mood every day on his future travels."
Yoimiya was inexplicably melancholic for a moment, then when her gaze fell back on the diary, her eyes widened suddenly.
[ That's roughly what happened last night. ]
[ Today is a new day. ]
[ Originally, I planned to leave Inazuma directly, but while looking at the Tenshukaku in Inazuma City, a small, immature idea suddenly sprouted in my mind. ]
[ I remembered a saying that has always circulated in the land of Inazuma. ]
[ There will always be those on the ground who dare to face the thunder's might. ]
[ Just right, before setting off, I want to use the Musou no Hitotachi to test the power I've unlocked. ]
[ So... ]
[ Braided Girl, hiding in the Plane of Euthymia, hurry and come out clean. ]
[ Let me test my blade! ]
[ .... ]
Yoimiya: "!?"
