Thus, Miyashiro's journey to Sumeru finally came to an end. Although it took a lot of time, the harvest was full.
Not only did he successfully complete the mission of establishing diplomatic relations with Sumeru under extremely favorable conditions, but he also signed a spiritual contract with Nahida and Apep, the two top powerhouses of Sumeru, during this period of turmoil.
With this relationship, Sumeru can now be called a vassal state of Inazuma. Next, he only needs to slowly transform Sumeru into his own shape through Nahida, but this cannot be rushed.
Originally, after Miyashiro completed his diplomatic mission in Sumeru, he wanted to make a detour to Fontaine. However, the arrival of one person made him immediately abandon his plan to continue his mission in Fontaine and decided to return to Inazuma immediately.
The person who arrived was Sayu, from the Shuumatsuban of the Yashiro Commission. Her direct superior was Ayaka. Her profession was the same as Miyashiro's, a ninja, but her ninja career was mostly characterized by laziness and slacking off.
For a ninja like Sayu, who loves to slack off, to travel across the sea from Inazuma directly to Sumeru to deliver a message, Miyashiro, Ayaka, and Kokomi, who learned of her arrival, all wondered if something major had happened in Inazuma.
Did Klee and Yoimiya's jointly researched long-range missile blow up a large island in Inazuma? Or did Zhongli and Raiden Shogun, who were visiting Inazuma, clash and trigger a God War? Or did the long-lost Thunder Dragon King reappear in Inazuma?
As soon as the sleepy Sayu entered the gate of the Inazuma Delegation's station, she was immediately stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes in the station, which startled her so much that she almost let out a cry and transformed into a Windwheel to roll out directly.
When Miyashiro took the letter from the trembling Sayu and opened it, he was immediately stunned.
Ayaka, Kokomi, and the others, seeing Miyashiro's shocked expression, were also surprised. What kind of news could make their Regent look so surprised?
Ayaka, who had already become Miyashiro's intimate partner, boldly and carefully looked at the letter in Miyashiro's hand, who was frozen in place, and instantly she too was stunned.
Kokomi, whose relationship with Miyashiro was not yet as close, focused her gaze on Sayu, hoping that Sayu, the Messenger, could reveal some news to her.
However, just as she was about to do so, Miyashiro, who had finally reacted, quietly said to Kokomi, "Kokomi, I'm going to have a child."
Kokomi, in her shock, didn't quite hear him and asked in confusion, "Huh?"
Before Kokomi could react, Miyashiro burst into a fit of insane laughter, looking at the letter and laughing every time, as if he had consumed an entire bottle of Sinthe.
Soon, the entire Inazuma Delegation's station learned of this good news and began to celebrate enthusiastically.
That's right, his beloved Shenhe is pregnant!
Miyashiro looked at this letter, written by Shenhe herself and sent across the ocean, which made him feel dizzy with excitement. Is he… really going to be a father?
After three hundred and seventy-seven chapters of build-up, has his ultimate God mission finally made progress?
According to what Shenhe said in her letter, Miyashiro carefully calculated the time, and it seemed to have happened during that absurd night before he left Inazuma for Sumeru.
As soon as he thought of this news, Miyashiro was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth, using his actions to demonstrate what it means to be eager to return home.
Miyashiro immediately ordered to cancel the plan to send an envoy to Fontaine, pack his bags immediately, and return to Inazuma as soon as possible. In front of Shenhe, what was Fontaine?
Moreover, even though Shenhe is now nearly two months pregnant, there is still a long time until the ten-month pregnancy, but after returning to Inazuma, there are still many things to do.
First and foremost, the wedding must be held before Shenhe's pregnancy becomes obvious.
Although Miyashiro had long considered Shenhe his wife, he had indeed never held a formal wedding for her to formally marry her.
Now, Miyashiro's identity is the Regent of Inazuma, and Shenhe, as a disciple of the three Adepti of Liyue, Miyashiro can already imagine that their wedding must be grand. The number of important guests to be invited to their wedding alone is enough to raise the standard of this wedding by another level.
As Miyashiro's first wedding in three lifetimes, and with Shenhe as his main wife, since he has the ability, Miyashiro wants to give Shenhe the best possible conditions. Things like the three letters and six rites, three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts, ten-mile red dowry, phoenix coronet and robes, etc., must all be arranged.
This involves the wedding process, invited guests, wedding venue, wedding dress customization, and other preparatory work. A grand wedding cannot be done well without one or two months of preparation time.
Oh, and since this wedding also involves both Inazuma and Liyue, perhaps two different plans will need to be prepared at that time.
If Shenhe has to attend the wedding with a big belly, it would not only be inappropriate in terms of etiquette and damage their reputation, but it would also be unfair to Shenhe. It is the most glorious moment in a woman's life, yet she cannot show her most beautiful appearance.
In short, because of Shenhe's pregnancy, many things had to be prioritized and arranged. As for establishing diplomatic relations with Fontaine, that could only be postponed.
And all the officials at the Inazuma Delegation's station had no objection to their Regent's order. The entire station immediately began busy work, even packing their luggage overnight.
This was their Regent's first child. Their Regent had an heir, and as officials of Inazuma, they were naturally happy to see it.
The most crucial thing is that it was Lady Shenhe who was pregnant, the Regent's main wife. The child in her womb would be the future legitimate eldest son or daughter, which was of extraordinary significance, and no amount of attention would be too much.
At the same time, the staff of the Zubayr Theater also began busy packing, preparing to travel to Inazuma with the Inazuma Delegation's ships.
The activities at the Inazuma Delegation's station naturally attracted the attention of the Akademiya, but there was no need to hide such good news.
After learning that the Regent's wife was pregnant, the Akademiya also sent people to congratulate them and pre-ordered several wedding invitations, which were said to be for Acting Grand Sage Alhaitham and the God of Wisdom Nahida.
On the last night in Sumeru, everyone was busy, including Ayaka. Perhaps stimulated by the events of the day, Ayaka, while happy for Miyashiro, also secretly made a decision in her heart.
She seemed to realize that if they returned to Inazuma, Miyashiro would no longer belong to her alone. So, on this particular night, Ayaka worked exceptionally hard, even unlocking some new positions without any prior instruction, which greatly pleased Miyashiro.
