Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

—Shin-suke Hiiragi is a businessman.

This is also why Lin Jiu'an brought that "Hidden Mirror Lady" with him.

She is a high-ranking member of the Fools.

Their status is second only to the executive officer, and they are high-ranking officials who can represent "ladies" or even the queen.

Inazuma is currently under the "isolation order" of General Raiden.

All diplomatic activities were eliminated, and all forms of contact with the outside world were severed.

Liyue, who used to have close ties with Inazuma, has completely severed all contact with him.

Even if they wanted to send diplomatic documents, there was no way to do so, because it was impossible to get them to the Inazuma government through the proper channels.

But this "lockdown order" is quite ridiculous.

The Fools, who were diplomats of the Winter Kingdom, were able to freely enter Inazuma territory, and even General Raiden himself did not find it a problem.

Both the censorate and the community censorate openly permitted and supported the caravans in smuggling.

However, for other people who want to come here, there are only two possibilities.

One option is to join the Fools.

The other is illegal immigration.

Lin Jiu'an was not surprised that Ayaka Kamisato knew he was coming and sent Thomas to greet him in advance.

The Southern Cross fleet was able to smuggle goods through Inazuma because of its relationship with the Kamisato family.

The long-standing trade with Inazuma has made their relationship with the Kamisato family very close, so it's normal that the Kamisato family learned about Lin Jiu'an's arrival in advance from the "mole" in the "Southern Cross" fleet.

Pai Tomalai.

If he couldn't resist attacking Thomas, it would just expose Lin Jiu'an's identity.

If he causes trouble at the port and offends both the Heavenly Commander and the Imperial Commissioner, they will naturally not hesitate to kill Lin Jiu'an, given that he has the support of the Thunder General.

But if he had listened to Thomas's instructions and gone to the house of the gods.

That makes things simple.

This means he has already 'bowed down' and can now renegotiate his relationship with Ayaka Kamisato.

To say that he and the "lady" were not familiar with each other.

Lin Jiu'an really couldn't do anything about Kamisato Ayaka's tactics.

If he wants to accumulate "thunder element" in Inazuma, he can only fight his way there step by step.

But here is the problem.

What is his relationship with the "lady"?

In short, we've come full circle.

—Shin-suke Hiiragi is a businessman.

He doesn't care about national interests; he only cares about his family's interests and whether he can make money.

Fools can make him money.

Therefore, he cooperated very closely with the Fools.

So here he is.

Thomas was dumbfounded as he watched Lin Jiu'an being politely ushered away by Hiiragi Shinsuke.

He came here illegally!

······

Kamisato family.

Ayaka Kamisato was kneeling in front of the tea table, sipping tea.

The tea table faces the open door, offering a view of the tranquil courtyard with its small bridge and flowing water.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door.

The door was opened.

Seeing Kayo Kamisato walk in, Ayaka Kamisato asked in surprise, "Mother, what brings you here?"

Kayo Kamisato watched her daughter pouring tea.

There were some damp marks on the tea table, which were obviously caused by tea being accidentally spilled when brewing and pouring.

Seeing this, Kayo Kamisato's heart sank completely.

This is a mistake that Ayaka Kamisato would never make.

Kazuyo Kamisato knelt down opposite Ayaka Kamisato.

Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Linghua, tell Mother."

What exactly is the conflict between you and that official named Lin Jiu'an?

"besides."

"Why did you do that?"

Ayaka Kamisato asked in confusion, "Mother, what are you talking about? Ayaka doesn't understand."

"Did Ayaka do something wrong?"

"Ayaka!"

Kazuyo Kamisato's voice rose a few octaves.

Her face no longer held the usual poise and elegance; instead, it showed a hint of anxiety, and even more so, sadness and confusion.

"Thoma told me everything!"

It was impossible to tell whether Kazuyo Kamisato's voice was urgent or sad.

"If you didn't have a grudge against him, why would he attack Thomas, and why would he harbor such hostility towards you?"

"And why would you send Thomas to meet him knowing his identity?"

According to Kazue Kadai.

The matter is actually quite simple when you break it down.

Her precious daughter, Ayaka Kamisato, is deliberately setting a trap for Lin Jiu'an.

She's going to kill Lin Jiu'an!

From the very beginning, when she sent Thomas to 'welcome' Lin Jiu'an, her purpose was to make Lin Jiu'an the target of everyone's hatred, so that all three officials would become his enemies on the very first day he arrived!

He must die in Inazuma!

The other party clearly indicated that they were approaching the wife in a private capacity and did not want to make a scene.

With Ayaka Kamisato's abilities.

She couldn't possibly not understand the meaning behind it.

It's impossible for them not to understand.

It was unnecessary to send someone to greet them, especially to have Thomas, a "servant," greet them; it was a complete insult to the other person's status.

Even if it's just to pick him up.

It should be Ayaka Kamisato herself who goes.

Or perhaps it would be better to have her, the former head of the Kamisato family and now a mother who has semi-retired, greet him.

As for the issue of coming to Inazuma without permission, that's not a problem for Inazuma at all now!

The Foolish Clan's executive officer never greeted his wife before coming to the rice paddy.

But each time they come and go as they please, and the officials in charge of the investigation and the officials in charge of the realm always receive them well.

The "lockdown order" was a joke.

This, on the contrary, turned Inazuma's diplomacy into a complete joke.

Logically speaking...

The Kamisato family should try their best to win him over.

At least.

It is best not to offend him before he has clearly shown hostility towards the Shinri family.

Considering what they did in Mondstadt and Liyue, they are definitely not a kind person, and should absolutely not be offended.

and so.

Either pretend you don't know.

If you must send someone, absolutely do not send a domestic worker like Thomas!

But Ayaka Kamisato just happened to be part of that faction.

They just sent a "servant".

Considering how distraught Ayaka had been after hearing about Lin Jiu'an's situation, Kagami Kayo felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at her 'pure' daughter.

What kind of person is her daughter?

What exactly is her daughter trying to do?!

"If it weren't for the fact that you and she had a grudge against each other."

"Why did you ask Thomas to provoke him? Why did you target him?"

"Linghua, tell your mother what you're trying to do?!"

"Or have you grown up to the point where you'd even lie to your own mother?!"

Seeing her mother's heartbroken expression, Ayaka Kamisato fell silent.

The "Egret Princess" showed no sign of anything amiss, but that was precisely what was most unusual.

Ayaka Kamisato lowered her head, her small hands clenched into fists.

After a long pause, she whispered, "My plan is very good."

"Send Thomas."

“If he accepts Thomas’s invitation and comes to the Shinri family with Thomas, it means that he doesn’t care about what happened before.”

“If he doesn’t accept, then it’s good to expose him completely and let the other two magistrates know that he has come to Inazuma.”

"Based on his previous performance in Mondstadt and Liyue, he might very well commit a bloodbath at the port."

"At this point, given the personality of the head of the Kujo family, they would absolutely not care about killing the leader of another country."

As she spoke, Ayaka Kamisato smiled slightly at Hanayo Kamisato: "Mother, do you think there's anything wrong with my arrangements?"

Kazuyo Kamisato looked at Ayaka Kamisato in disbelief.

Although she had thought about all of these things, none of them could compare to the shock of hearing them directly from Ayaka Kamisato's mouth.

"Linghua, what happened to you?"

How did I become like this?

Ayaka Kamisato gave a bitter smile.

"Yes, how did I become like this?"

Then, Ayaka Kamisato dug her fingertips into flesh and gritted her teeth, saying, "I've been like this ever since I watched you die!"

'When she died.'

Kayo Kamisato couldn't understand what Ayaka Kamisato was saying, or rather, she couldn't comprehend it.

However, I can't believe it.

But she also vaguely figured out how Ayaka Kamisato had become enemies with Lin Jiu'an, and how she suddenly became so mature and sensible overnight ten years ago.

Ayaka Kamisato exclaimed excitedly, "I understood after you died."
