"Something to discuss with me?"
Shiki was surprised. She really didn't think there was anything to discuss. Hadn't the trade contract already been signed?
Could it be... about Enkanomiya, a place she knew nothing about?
"Okay, I understand. I'll make time to go and see."
Since she didn't know what Sangonomiya Kokomi wanted to discuss, she might as well go and see.
Anyway, with her strength, the other party couldn't do anything to her, and Shiki didn't think Sangonomiya Kokomi would suddenly go crazy and attack her.
However, if she had to guess the most likely reason, Shiki thought it was Enkanomiya. When she traveled through, she had just left Tsurumi Island.
Information about Enkanomiya was limited to leaks and a prerequisite quest on Watatsumi Island. She forgot the specific name, but it was very similar to the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual and Seirai Stormchasers.
They both involved dealing with some kind of seal and then fighting monsters, which was quite troublesome.
If Sangonomiya Kokomi was looking for her because of this seal, she would definitely refuse. Weren't the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual and Seirai Stormchasers enough?
However, if it was just about fighting monsters, then she could consider it.
However, Shiki completely misunderstood. She would never have guessed that Sangonomiya Kokomi invited her to Watatsumi Island because she didn't want to work anymore.
In this world, everyone condemns lying flat, but who doesn't like to lie down?
People are hypocritical. As the saying goes, I hate people who lie flat, and I hate people who don't let me lie flat even more.
After dinner, Thoma again explained the origin of Watatsumi Island and the matter of its sanctification to the two of them. This made Shiki even more convinced that Sangonomiya Kokomi was looking for her because of Enkanomiya.
Shiki would definitely go to Enkanomiya. According to what Thoma had just said, the history of Enkanomiya was very ancient, existing at least before the Archon War.
'It seems Watatsumi Island needs to be put on the agenda. I'll go there after clearing the pollution on Seirai Island.' Shiki thought.
Today's task was the ruins below Amakumo Peak. If the mechanisms above had already been cleared and the entrance revealed, she wouldn't mind accompanying the Traveler down.
After all, that light barrier below was quite annoying, and not everyone could treat barrier-type mechanisms as nothing, like her.
Think about how annoying it was to repair the Warding Stones on Yashiori Island in the game, but for Shiki, that seal broke with a light poke.
"Oh, right, Thoma, could you help me conduct a survey? Ask the public where their main expenses are within a year."
"I think starting from this aspect, we should be able to find some solutions to boost Inazuma's current economy."
"Okay, no problem. Anything else?" Thoma nodded and said.
Shiki thought for a moment and then said, "If you know anyone who is good at arithmetic and accounting, you can recommend them to the Tenshukaku's finance department. They are short-handed there now."
"Alright!"
Thoma immediately agreed and then went out to prepare for the survey.
Shiki and Ayaka also teleported to Seirai Island. After yesterday's efforts, they finally built a temporary dormitory; otherwise, they would have had to camp out at night.
The fleet left after dropping off the people. They would join the team transporting supplies and building materials to maximize efficiency.
"Ayaka, you can just watch over them here. I'll go check on how the Traveler and their group are doing with their ruin exploration."
"Mhm, you can rest assured with me here!"
Ayaka was very familiar with supervising work. After all, she had supervised all of Inazuma's festivals in recent years.
Shiki also knew this, which was why she left Ayaka here while she went to deal with the various troubles on Seirai Island.
At the same time, at Amakumo Peak, a Serenitea Pot suddenly appeared on the ground, and as white mist emerged from it, the Traveler and their party came out.
"Traveler, your pot is too rock and roll! Immortal arts are truly amazing. It's such a small thing, yet it's so big inside."
Xinyan was truly shocked. Even after a whole night, she still found it so magical.
"Hehe, we have Granny Ping to thank for this. If it weren't for her, we would have been sleeping in the wilderness."
