Chapter 91 - Swordfish Squad Leader

Kokomi: "Lumine, now I want to confirm once more. After learning about the current state of Watatsumi Island and the resistance, are you still willing to fight alongside us?"

Lumine nodded. "I won't give up."

[Furina: This is the Traveler, isn't it? After saving Fontaine and Liyue, now she comes to save Inazuma.]

[Zhongli: Based on the power Lumine has demonstrated, saving Fontaine likely occurs after saving Liyue and Inazuma.]

[Paimon: Lumine, you're amazing! Everything you're involved in is major events.]

[Lumine: Looks like it's going to be quite an adventure.]

[Venti: Adventure... I love adventure! Maybe I should travel abroad and have some fun?]

[Paimon: As the God of Wind, you wouldn't encounter danger in any of the seven nations, right?]

[Venti: Who says adventure has to involve danger? The greater meaning of adventure lies in exploring the unknown.]

[Zhongli: Continuously exploring unknown territories and uncovering their principles—that is progress.]

Kokomi nodded. "Very well. I now officially issue your appointment. From this moment on, you are promoted to leader of Watatsumi Island's special operations unit, Swordfish Squad 2."

Teppei reacted strongly to these words. "S-s-s-s-swordfish Squad 2? The special operations unit bearing the name 'Swordfish' that I'm thinking of?"

"I recall it's incredibly difficult just to join a special operations unit. To become captain in one go... that's amazing!"

[Furina: Kokomi's naming sense is so funny! First the Shrimp Squad, now Swordfish.]

[Sangonomiya Kokomi: These are all Inazuman aquatic products. They're perfect for naming units... I'm not very good at naming things.]

[Paimon: You could ask Zhongli about names. He knows everything about past and present.]

[Zhongli: In 3,700 years, I have indeed accumulated much knowledge. You may consult me on naming matters.]

[Paimon: Zhongli agreed so readily!]

Kokomi looked at Lumine. "This is an exceptional appointment, but I believe that with your wisdom, courage, and strength, you can lead this squad to victory."

Paimon was also excited. "Yay! When do we start work?"

Kokomi: "Swordfish Squad 2 is currently stationed in a valley southwest of the main island, awaiting orders. Recently, some rogue samurai have been causing trouble, and we need the special operations unit to stabilize the rear."

"I've already written your letter of appointment. Just show it to them. I'll also need you to deal with those rogue samurai."

"Special operations members are Watatsumi Island's elite. They may carry some pride, but I believe you can earn their trust."

Teppei looked at Kokomi hopefully. "What about me? What about me, Lady Kokomi? Is there any mission that needs me?"

"I want to contribute more to the resistance."

[Ningguang: Teppei is truly earnest about getting to the front lines.]

[Keqing: In my view, he's overlooking cause and effect. Diligent training is the cause; becoming a captain is the effect. Wanting to take on tasks beyond one's abilities carries serious danger.]

[Lumine: Yes. If the me in this video hadn't arrived in time, Teppei would likely already be in Tenryou Commission custody.]

Kokomi nodded. "Of course. I'll assign you something shortly."

Teppei said confidently, "I'll complete the mission!"

He then turned to Lumine. "Hehe. You might be a special operations squad leader now, but I won't lose to you."

Paimon said with concern, "Be careful, okay? Don't push yourself too hard."

When they arrived at the Swordfish Squad and exchanged greetings, the acting leader raised their concern: "We want to know whether you are worthy of our trust and loyalty."
