"The war between the Rebel Army and the Shogunate Army is about to end. What are your plans next, Lumine?"
Aside from the daily Adventurers Guild commissions, Lumine always tried to find things to do for herself. In the beginning, there were quite a lot of things, but as more tasks were completed, there were fewer and fewer things she could do.
To find more things, she would probably have to wait for the war to end and try her luck at Sangonomiya Shrine. There should be places there that need her help.
"Hmm, recently when I was taking commissions at the Adventurers Guild, Katheryne mentioned I could check out Seirai Island."
"Seirai Island? Oh, is that the island south of Narukami Island? The Electro Element there is quite high, and the thunderstorms are very intense. Several Adventurers I treated before mentioned that when they explored certain areas of Seirai Island, their skin felt tingly from the Electro Element in the air."
Besides the information provided by these Adventurers, Durandal also learned about Seirai Island from some books.
Rumor has it that there seemed to be a very powerful Electro Element creature there. It was fine originally, but one day it suddenly went berserk. To prevent it from causing further harm, the Raiden Shogun went there and cut it down with a single strike.
However, the thunderstorms there were not resolved. Adventurers who explored there in the past couldn't figure out the cause of the thunderstorms or the reason for the island's excessively high Electro Element density.
Did Katheryne recommend Lumine to adventure on Seirai Island because she knew Lumine had the ability to deal with this problem?
Hmm, that place hadn't been properly explored by Adventurers before, so for Lumine, it was a completely undeveloped guarantee, with countless mysteries and treasure chests waiting for her there. This also explained why she was so excited.
"It's perfect, I can use the small boat I got from the Golden Apple Archipelago to go to Seirai Island. Katheryne said two Adventurers have already gone there, and they can provide me with some help."
"That small boat from Seirai Island... Hmm, if it's just you and Paimon, there's more than enough space. But with Shenhe added, it might be a bit cramped."
"That was before. Last time in Liyue, I had the workers there expand the size of my boat. That boat can now accommodate... accommodate ten people. The situation like in the Golden Apple Archipelago will definitely not happen again."
Lumine felt a little awkward thinking about what happened back at the Apple Archipelago. Although most of the people who boarded the ship were girls, and all of them were quite slender, there were simply too many of them.
The situation inside the ship was quite crowded at the time. If Durandal hadn't gotten fed up and directly turned into mist to leave the ship, something strange would have happened.
"Accommodate ten people? Hmm, the volume has increased quite a bit. What about offensive capabilities?"
"In addition to the previous attack methods, there are other ways to attack. Hehe~ It truly lives up to its reputation as Liyue's largest shipbuilder; even its modification capabilities are outstanding."
The only drawback was the considerable expense, but the money was well spent. That ship would undoubtedly travel with them, and it needed to be well-maintained.
"Um, let's put the ship's issues aside for now. Paimon is very concerned about the lightning storms on that island. Is the strange Electro Element concentration on that island similar to the situation on Yashiori Island?"
Last time on Yashiori Island, because the Wardstone was destroyed, the Tatarasuna God that had been sealed were released, causing the weather on Yashiori Island to become extremely abnormal.
The situation on Seirai Island this time is very similar to Yashiori Island. Could it be the same kind of situation?
"Probably. I don't know if there's anything there that can suppress the Electro Element. If there is, dealing with such extreme weather would be much easier."
Lumine was curious about what caused Seirai Island's weather to become like that. Based on Yashiori Island's situation, some very powerful creature must have lived there.
They had only heard of the God Orobashi in Inazuma, so the one on Seirai Island probably wasn't a God. But its death could affect Seirai Island's environment, so its existence must also be extraordinary. It's very likely some powerful elemental creature.
"A powerful elemental creature? Given Seirai Island's situation, it can only be an Electro Element creature. Waaah~ If we deal with Seirai Island's abnormal situation, will this elemental creature suddenly appear and attack us?"
Life forms entirely composed of elements are very strong. Not to mention creatures like the Pyro Hypostasis and Cryo Hypostasis, which are somewhat related to elemental life, just look at the Hydro Hypostasis in Liyue.
Its attack methods are considered gentle. If it were the Electro Element, would the situation be quite bad?
"Probably not. Don't scare yourself, Paimon. Anyway, we've already accepted this task. To complete it, we definitely have to go to Seirai Island and take a look."
"Alright, anyway, solving puzzles is no challenge for us at all."
"Correction, it's no challenge for *me*. Which puzzle wasn't solved by me? Have you ever helped?"
"How can you say that? If Paimon hadn't cheered you on, would you have been so motivated?"
"Indeed, it's better to just cook and eat Paimon. At least that way she can be of some use."
"There you go again! I told you Paimon isn't for eating!"
