Yae Miko's face was grim. Sangonomiya Kokomi really didn't know when to shut up.
A thousand killed, eight hundred lost.
She didn't know who gave her such audacity.
Yae Miko lifted her head slightly, letting out a chilling laugh.
"Oh my, that Raiden Shogun, she said I could handle the issues between Watatsumi Island and Narukami Island.
I figure if I just handle you, then naturally there won't be any major problems.
Wouldn't you agree, Sangonomiya Kokomi, the careful strategist?"
Sangonomiya Kokomi subconsciously took a step back. Was Yae Miko serious?!
"What… what are you doing?!"
"Doing what?! How about you come with me to the Grand Narukami Shrine?!"
"Go to the Grand Narukami Shrine?! You… you aren't afraid that the people of Watatsumi Island will hate Narukami Island even more,
and that this war will sink into an even deeper quagmire?!"
"It doesn't matter. Without you, Watatsumi Island is just a pile of loose sand. They will naturally retreat when they realize the situation."
Sangonomiya Kokomi slowly backed away, finding the sea behind her.
She hadn't expected this at all.
This time, Yae Miko was unexpectedly unreasonable, and she never thought she would act personally.
She didn't seem like a fox who was in control after the fact, a strategist.
I shouldn't have discussed Jing Chen with her just now.
Especially the matter of the wedding.
Sangonomiya Kokomi suddenly picked up a handful of sand and threw it at Yae Miko, coordinating it with her Elemental Skill.
She wanted to briefly blind Yae Miko for a second.
"Ceremonial Ocean!"
Sangonomiya Kokomi instantly activated her Elemental Burst and ran rapidly on the sea.
When she reached the shore, she saw Yae Miko reading a light novel while yawning slightly.
"Sangonomiya Kokomi, your speed... it's just so-so, isn't it?"
Sangonomiya Kokomi stood there, stunned. How could Yae Miko have reached the shore before her?
Yae Miko shook her head lightly, a playful look in her eyes as she gazed at Kokomi.
"Oh, Sangonomiya Kokomi, this shrine maiden rarely uses her hands, rarely uses her elemental power, preferring grace and freedom.
But that doesn't mean my strength and speed are lacking, you know.
I am, after all, a follower of the Raiden Shogun. You can figure it out. Either you get beaten up by me and go back to the Grand Narukami Shrine with me.
Or you surrender now and come with me to the Grand Narukami Shrine.
Your choice."
Sangonomiya Kokomi glared at Yae Miko, her voice filled with righteous indignation.
"Yae Miko!! The Vision Hunt Decree in Inazuma, and the disaster on Yashiro Island...
Inazuma's current state is a consequence of both the Raiden Shogun and you, as her attendant, being at fault."
Yae Miko instantly appeared before Kokomi, easily grabbing her by the neck.
"Heh, as if you're without blame, the Divine Priestess of Watatsumi Island!!
The disaster on Yashiro Island was also caused by your Watatsumi Island being exploited by the Fatui.
Recently, some of your people even resorted to using the Evil Eye, sacrificing their lives.
Well then, as punishment, you will work at the Grand Narukami Shrine for ten years."
"I will also handle the Vision Hunt Decree and the matter on Yashiro Island.
Also, don't you dare refuse."
Sangonomiya Kokomi glared fiercely at Yae Miko.
"You!!"
Suddenly, Kokomi's Mechanical Pearl emitted a dazzling ice-blue light, and Yae Miko immediately let go of her.
She stared at Kokomi with a look of utter disbelief.
"Did Jing Chen give that to you?!"
"Mm."
"Give it to me!!"
"You wish!!"
"I'm telling you to give it to me!!"
Yae Miko stepped forward again, and Sangonomiya Kokomi desperately protected the Mechanical Pearl with her life.
The terrifying Fox Spirits around them also appeared, ready to severely injure Sangonomiya Kokomi at any moment.
Every time something related to Jing Chen came up, Yae Miko's rationality would be briefly consumed by anger.
Yae Miko's raised hand lingered in the air for a long time, but didn't come down.
The Fox Lightning that had been gathering also dissipated.
Sangonomiya Kokomi, in order to protect what Jing Chen had entrusted to her, was actually unafraid of death.
From Kokomi's figure, it was as if she saw her own sorrowful shadow.
Yes, their beloved, unattainable moon had already departed. Why should a pitiful person make things difficult for another pitiful person?!
Yae Miko gently stroked Kokomi's beautiful hair.
"Kokomi, go back to Watatsumi Island. Yashiro Island and the Vision Hunt Decree, I will take care of it for you, for myself, for Raiden Shogun, and for the people of Inazuma."
"Come to the Grand Narukami Shrine in a few days. We'll have a casual chat, unrelated to anything between the Watatsumi Island and Narukami Island.
Only related to Jing Chen. Come if you wish, and if you don't, this shrine maiden won't force you."
Kokomi was slightly stunned. The moment she raised her head, she found that Yae Miko had completely vanished.
(Here, I need to explain why the current Yae Miko can resolve the Vision Hunt Decree.)
Because the Fatui had mostly retreated from Inazuma, and Scaramouche had already obtained the Raiden Shogun's Gnosis. Raiden Shogun, too, had left the Plane of Euthymia at the wedding of Jing Chen and Columbina.
Therefore, the current Yae Miko is fully capable of resolving everything.
\n\n
On a small hill, Lumine had already set up a "new home" for Teppei and the others.
A desolate grave, twilight, the cawing of crows, and the sound of waves.
Such a profoundly silent atmosphere made Paimon beside her feel incredibly solemn and heavy, remaining silent for a long time.
Tears welled in Lumine's eyes; this journey to Inazuma had truly left a lasting impression on her.
She had watched the wedding of Jing Chen and Columbina from afar, and had eaten all sorts of delicious food in the corner with Paimon.
I also happened to see a good show.
I thought this trip would be as simple as the ones in Mondstadt and Liyue.
But I was wrong, terribly wrong.
He leaves Narukami Island and joins Watatsumi Island, becoming the captain of Swordfish II.
Participate in battles between Watatsumi Island and Narukami Island.
We were joking around yesterday, talking about our teammates after the war ended, and today they've already lost their lives.
He fell forever in a foreign land.
"Captain, after this war is over, I want to go home and get married."
"Captain, after this war, I want to put down my sword, pick up my harpoon again, and go back to fishing."
"Captain, after this war, I want to let the old lady live out her days in peace."
"Captain, after this war, I want to…"
The Swordfish II members' wishes, spoken in the past, about what they wanted after the war, echoed in her ears.
They were ordinary people, with dreams now impossible to achieve.
Lumine inadvertently glanced back and found only herself and Paimon remaining.
Paimon slowly flew forward, gently offering Lumine some sake from Watatsumi Island.
"Traveler, Teppei and the others loved drinking sake from his hometown when they were alive."
"Let them drink one last time."
"Mhm."
Lumine's tears mixed with the sake and fell upon the land.
May Teppei and the other comrades rest in peace.
Lumine then raised her head, gazing at the distant sea.
She couldn't help but murmur to herself.
"Brother, what will become of my journey this time?!"
[Yae Miko will personally form an Anti-Jing Chen Group. I haven't decided on the name yet.]
