Night fell on Teyvat.
Ever since Su Xuan took Raiden Ei and disappeared, the diary had not been updated.
Until dawn the next day.
Grand Narukami Shrine on Mt. Yougou.
Yae Miko walked out of the inner room, yawning.
A miko dressed in red and white shrine maiden attire respectfully greeted her: "Guuji, Kujou Sara and Kamisato Ayaka are here to see you."
The miko's voice paused, then she continued: "They both arrived last night and have been waiting for you all night."
Yae Miko let out a calm "Oh."
As her consciousness stirred, a glowing diary appeared before her.
At the same time, Yae Miko didn't forget to glance at the miko in front of her, finding no abnormalities in her.
"It seems not everyone can get a diary."
"However, those two who waited here last night are probably Diary Copy Holders like me."
The thought passed through her mind.
Yae Miko immediately understood the reason for Kujou Sara and Kamisato Ayaka's visit.
"Go ask them if they've had breakfast."
"If not, tell them to come to my room and have breakfast with me." Yae Miko lazily waved her hand, as if nothing had happened yesterday.
The miko bowed and left.
Soon, Kujou Sara and Kamisato Ayaka, both women, appeared in front of Yae Miko in a hurry.
"Guuji, with such a big incident happening, how can you still be in the mood to eat breakfast here?"
Unlike the anxious Kamisato Ayaka, Kujou Sara, who was loyal to Raiden Ei, was clearly very displeased with Yae Miko's attitude.
"General Kujou, please don't be impulsive." Kamisato Ayaka tried to persuade her.
The two women had only learned that they both possessed a Diary Copy of Su Xuan's diary after arriving at the Grand Narukami Shrine last night.
Ayaka believed that since she and Kujou Sara both had a Diary Copy, Yae Miko must also have one.
However, all of this was merely a guess from the two women.
Speaking to Yae Miko with such a questioning tone right off the bat was truly impolite.
"What big thing happened again?" The Guuji nonchalantly patted her mouth.
Kujou Sara was stunned: "You don't know?"
"What should I know?" Yae Miko slowly sat down, savoring the breakfast prepared by the miko.
"Gen…" Kujou Sara was about to blurt it out, but her sleeve was tugged by Kamisato Ayaka.
She then glanced outside, slowly sat down in front of Yae Miko, and whispered: "The Shogun was taken away by the Traveler from outside this world yesterday."
"Doesn't the Guuji know?"
"Don't you have that Traveler's Diary Copy?"
As she spoke, Kujou Sara didn't forget to take out her Diary Copy and wave it in front of Yae Miko.
Yae Miko glanced at Kujou Sara's Diary Copy, not even bothering to respond, just giving Sara a look that implied she should understand.
Seeing this, Kamisato Ayaka quickly interjected: "Since Sara can speak about the diary's contents in front of the Guuji, the Guuji must have one."
At these words, Kujou Sara rose even more anxiously: "Since the Guuji knows, then why…"
"Why am I eating breakfast here?" Yae Miko smiled: "Then, General of the Shogunate, tell me, what should I do?"
"Help you find the Traveler's whereabouts, and then let you lead the Shogunate Army to rescue the Shogun?"
"And finally make Su Xuan furious, and he'll move a mountain to wipe out your entire Shogunate Army?"
"And twist the Shogun into a pretzel for good measure?"
Kujou Sara was immediately rendered speechless.
Fortunately, Kamisato Ayaka beside her was much calmer, and followed up: "Guuji, we should find that kind person Su Xuan mentioned."
"Let her help mediate, and ask Su Xuan what his conditions are; we can exchange the Shogun with him."
Yae Miko rubbed her temples in distress.
Kamisato Ayaka was clearly much calmer than Kujou Sara when faced with problems.
However, her ability to consider issues still had significant limitations.
But then again, Kamisato Ayaka hadn't lived as many days as Yae Miko had eaten fried tofu, so it was normal for her to not fully grasp some things.
"Ah, what two lovely little ones," Yae Miko said leisurely. "Don't you understand what he meant yesterday by 'the harder your fist, the more right you are'?"
"Even the Raiden Shogun is no match for him; what conditions does he need to discuss with us?"
"Whatever he wants, he'll just take it by force. Who among you can stop him?"
After a few short sentences, Kujou Sara and Kamisato Ayaka stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Yae Miko's words were blunt but made perfect sense.
Based on Su Xuan's combat prowess displayed to the women yesterday...
Even if everyone in Inazuma who could fight banded together against him, it wouldn't matter if he just moved a mountain-sized boulder to crush them.
"But we can't just let it go," Kujou Sara said anxiously, pacing in front of Yae Miko.
Yae Miko waved her hand as if dismissing her, saying, "What you should be doing right now is telling the people who saw the Raiden Shogun leave yesterday."
"Tell the people of Inazuma City that the Raiden Shogun merely went to meet an old friend; tell them not to worry."
"Besides, you've all read the Diary Copy. Su Xuan doesn't intend to harm the Raiden Shogun. Once this period passes, won't he return the Raiden Shogun?"
After placating Kujou Sara.
Yae Miko took a bite of her breakfast, a look of enjoyment on her face, then muttered to herself, "A traveler from beyond this world, huh?"
"Possessing incredible power from beyond this world."
"Our Ei has beauty, a good figure, and is a God who wields the authority of thunder."
"I truly hope that when she returns, she can bring a young Raiden Shogun back to Inazuma."
"It's hard to imagine how terrifyingly strong a young Raiden Shogun with Psychokinesis and the great power of Electro would be."
"Then, as her aunt, I'll never have anything to worry about again."
Kamisato Ayaka listened to Yae Miko's rambling, her eyes wide with horror, her mouth agape in an 'O' shape.
Kujou Sara's eyes widened even more, staring at Yae Miko in disbelief: "Guuji, you!"
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Fortunately, at this moment, the Diary Copy in front of Kujou Sara suddenly flashed with a light.
"The diary has updated!" Kujou Sara eagerly flipped open the diary.
[Last night, I brought the unconscious Raiden Ei back to an island within Inazuma's borders.]
[Only after landing did I realize I had arrived at Yashiori Island, that unpleasant little island.]
[Facing the weather outside, which was both a thunderstorm and a downpour.]
[Raiden Ei was still unconscious like a dead pig.]
[I suspected she was faking it, so I gave her a few good slaps, only to find she seemed to genuinely still be unconscious.]
[So I just used her as a pillow for the night.]
[However, after dawn, not long after I opened my eyes, she finally woke up.]
Kujou Sara: "! ?"
Yae Miko couldn't help but choke for a moment, lamenting, "Such a good opportunity, and he only used her as a pillow?"
Kamisato Ayaka: "? ?"
