Chapter 82 - Fireworks

That lucky fellow chimed in, "There shouldn't be anyone in Hanamizaka who doesn't know Miss Yoimiya. The 'Queen of the Summer Festival' is what they call her. Without her and her fireworks, Narukami Island just wouldn't feel like summer."

[Kamisato Ayaka: Miss Yoimiya's fireworks are grand and splendid, capable of evoking the most beautiful memories in one's heart.]

[Ningguang: A fireworks master... come to think of it, Liyue arranges fireworks every year too. Once the Sakoku Decree is lifted, I wonder if we could ask for Miss Yoimiya's assistance?]

[Yoimiya: Of course! Setting up fireworks is what I love and what I'm best at.]

[Kaveh: I'd love to see a fireworks display. In Sumeru, fireworks aren't very common.]

[Furina: Fontaine too. A fireworks show... I'm looking forward to it, very much.]

[Yoimiya: Hahaha, alright then! Once the Sakoku Decree is lifted, I'll definitely do a tour of the seven nations!]

[Navia: When you come to Fontaine, just find the Spina di Rosula. We'll arrange everything for you.]

[Paimon: That's right, Neuvillette is very busy. Finding Navia is the best choice.]

[Lumine: Navia and Yoimiya are both very warm people. They'd definitely get along well.]

Paimon said, "What an impressive person! I love fireworks too. It's great to meet you!"

Yoimiya replied, "You're making me blush."

"Hanjiro, actually, you should thank Master Masakatsu more than me. It's all thanks to him leaving some Vision replicas with me."

"Back then, even my own Vision was saved thanks to Master Masakatsu's fake. Otherwise, doing business would have been really inconvenient."

[Paimon: Losing your Vision affects doing business too?]

[Yoimiya: Making fireworks, with the power of a Vision involved, makes them even more brilliant.]

[Paimon: Oh, I see! So Visions can be used like that too.]

[Lumine: Geo Visions can also be used to create ore, remember? From the video when we first arrived in Liyue.]

[Paimon: Was it when Ningguang proposed to stop taxing ore created by Visions? That one?]

[Lumine: Right. And do you remember Ningguang's Vision?]

[Ningguang: Correct. My Vision is Geo-aligned and can be used to create ore. If used appropriately, it can generate a not insignificant income.]

[Paimon: Visions are so useful! I want to get one too, then I could make lots and lots of money!]

[Lumine: Paimon really likes money.]

[Furina: Paimon probably likes eating. Mora is just for buying food.]

[Paimon: Oh no, oh no! Furina has seen right through me!]

Hanjiro sighed. "Master Masakatsu was such a good man. It's a shame good people don't get good rewards..."

Paimon asked, "Master Masakatsu?"

Lumine explained, "We're on a commission from Lady Kamisato and are preparing to rescue him now."

Yoimiya grew excited. "So it's arranged by the White Heron herself? That's wonderful! Actually, I've been thinking about trying to break him out these past few days."

"But I was worried that rushing in recklessly might cause trouble for Lady Kamisato and the others..."

"So, can I join you?"

[Paimon: Is this... a fortunate encounter?]

[Lumine: It seems that way now.]

Paimon welcomed her warmly. "Of course, no problem! Lady Kamisato also told us to find helpers. Looks like that's you, Miss Yoimiya!"

Yoimiya was also delighted. "It seems besides helping hide Vision holders, I finally have a chance to be of some other use!"

"Oh, right! I know where Master Masakatsu is being held. I've scouted the surrounding area, and there's a perfect infiltration point."

The two groups hit it off immediately and set out at once.
