Miss Delezie had said that Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto had the idea of lifting it, but the Raiden Shogun did not, and even ignored the opinions of the concerned Raiden Makoto.
Under these circumstances, could Miss Delezie really get the Raiden Shogun to agree to lift the sakoku decree in a short time?
"This matter isn't something I can influence. It mainly depends on Raiden Ei's determination. The one who tied the bell must untie it. The Raiden Shogun was designed by her, and only she, as the creator, can handle her affairs."
Even if she was powerful enough to easily suppress the Raiden Shogun, there were some things she couldn't influence the other party on; it had to be done by Raiden Ei herself.
If Raiden Ei didn't clearly understand that her previous beliefs were wrong, then the Raiden Shogun couldn't change.
Although the Raiden Shogun was, strictly speaking, an AI created by Raiden Ei, the Raiden Shogun was Raiden Ei. If Raiden Ei herself couldn't realize the problem, how could the Raiden Shogun, as a manifestation of her will, make changes?
"I see. Compared to external influence, having her realize the problem herself is indeed a good way to handle it. But, that will take a lot of time, right?"
"No, I believe she will realize it very soon."
A while ago, Miss Delezie knew that Lumine had gone to find Raiden Ei and taken her out to understand the current situation in Inazuma.
She believed that after understanding the current situation in Inazuma, combined with the influence of Raiden Makoto and themselves, even if the Raiden Shogun was stubborn, she would understand that her previous beliefs were wrong and try to make changes.
Although she was quite unreliable, Miss Delezie believed Raiden Ei could definitely do it.
Not only Miss Delezie, Raiden Makoto, Lumine, but also others in Inazuma believed in the arrival of this day.
After finishing her conversation with Venti, the inn door opened, and Lumine walked into the room with a tired Paimon, picking up an Apple from the table and biting into it.
"You're back so soon? Did you help that cat again today?"
Although the problems on Seirai Island had been resolved, Lumine occasionally still went back to Asase Shrine to meet Neko.
Neko, knowing that Seirai Island would return to its former state, felt that the shrine couldn't remain as it was now. So, he asked Lumine to clean the shrine and repair some damaged parts, such as the offering box and ema.
However, the shrine hadn't been cleaned for hundreds of years, making it impossible to restore it in a short time. There were still many things to deal with, and even with Lumine's strong practical skills, she couldn't complete the shrine's renovation in a short period.
Fortunately, Asase Shrine still had a good amount of property, which motivated Lumine even more to help, and she could even hire a few workers to renovate Asase Shrine.
Currently, Lumine had already found a craftsman on Narukami Island and had him create a statue resembling a lucky cat to place behind the shrine.
As long as she found a few more suitable craftsmen later, or posted a commission at the Adventurers Guild, many people should come to help at the shrine.
Lumine didn't plan to post the commission at the Adventurers Guild until she found other things to do.
She didn't want to give up the Reward for this semi-fixed commission. There were also many cute cats at the shrine, making it a wonderful commission that she didn't want to hand over to others.
"Speaking of which, since you two resolved the issues on Seirai Island this time, besides the Adventurers Guild's Reward, the Shogunate should have rewarded you as well, right?"
After all, this matter is quite significant, adding a lot of land to the Shogunate. I believe the Raiden Shogun will not be stingy with Lumine's Reward.
"Mm, it rewarded quite a few Primogems and Mora. Originally, it was going to give me some official position, but I refused. As a Traveler, how could I stay stagnant here? Besides, being an official here is not as good as going to Liyue to find Ningguang."
How should I put it? The official situation in Inazuma gave Lumine a lot of negative impressions. Compared to the troubles here, it would be better to go to Liyue Harbor to find Ningguang.
She had promised him a leisurely position with a Reward. Wouldn't working under her be easier than working in Inazuma?
"What about you? You've been staying on Narukami Island recently, what have you been doing?"
"Looking at this." Durandal took out the feather and said, "I took this feather to Ei, and she recognized it as belonging to a Thunderbird she once dealt with on Seirai Island."
"The warding stones on Seirai Island were also designed to suppress the Thunderbird's anger, but Ei didn't know the Thunderbird's origin or why he was so angry."
When Ei first saw the Thunderbird on Seirai Island, he was already quite irritable, with no possibility of communication.
Ei also had a fiery temper. She took the Thunderbird's attacks as provocation, drew her sword, and directly eliminated the Thunderbird. She also had him sealed so he couldn't be so irritable anymore.
Hmm, a very brief description, which also gave Durandal a piece of information: the Thunderbird did not seem to belong to Seirai Island. So where did he come from? These were all mysteries that needed to be figured out.
"Anyway, this should be something very important. Keep it with you, you might need it later."
Today, I came back from my hometown after Qingming Festival and got my third shot. I originally planned to rest a bit and then start writing.
But I ended up sleeping until night. I'm very sorry, everyone.
