The next day, Inazuma City continued to operate as usual, and everything seemed unchanged.
That was in the eyes of ordinary people. As a general, Kujou Sara knew very well that the situation was actually changing every day, and the fighting between the Shogunate Army and the Rebel Army had not stopped.
Originally, the Rebel Army had been showing signs of a counterattack, but with the Tatarasuna God on Yashiori Island dealt with, the Shogunate Army once again gained the upper hand.
Kujou Sara was very glad that the Tatarasuna God had been resolved. To find out who had resolved them, she even went to the villages on Yashiori Island to understand the situation.
Finally, in Higi Village, she met someone who knew the situation and learned that Durandal had handled the matters on Yashiori Island, making the Tatarasuna God completely disappear from Yashiori Island.
Durandal, that powerful adult, truly continued to act in unexpected ways.
Kujou Sara had initially been a bit worried that this powerful being from another nation had come to Inazuma with some ill intent, but after observing for a while, she realized that this idea was wrong.
Her arrival had not made Inazuma more chaotic; instead, it had gradually stabilized the situation in Inazuma, allowing the once stagnant Inazuma to regain a glimmer of vitality.
This was something she, as a general of the Tenryou Commission, could not achieve. Therefore, Kujou Sara was very grateful to Durandal and wanted to thank her in person and apologize for having doubted her.
Walking on the streets of Inazuma City, a melodious music entered her ears, making Kujou Sara unable to help but stop and listen intently.
This was music different from Inazuma's. Kujou Sara recognized it as the sound of a lyre from Mondstadt. Such melodious lyre music was rare in Inazuma City, and many people were drawn to it, unable to help but gather around.
There were quite a few onlookers. The Shogunate soldiers accompanying Kujou Sara wanted to disperse them, but Kujou Sara stopped them, signaling them not to make too much movement and disturb the performance.
The onlookers, seeing Kujou Sara's appearance, consciously made way for her. With the public's awareness, Kujou Sara quickly came to the front and saw the owner of the music.
"It's you..."
The one playing the melody was Durandal. She was sitting on a stone stool, eyes closed, concentrating on playing the lyre in her hands.
Her conversation with Venti last night had calmed Durandal's agitated heart.
Today, not wanting to do anything, she simply came to this relatively spacious place, took out her lyre, and wanted to play.
It wasn't for money; it was simply to play, simply to let the residents of Inazuma appreciate the sound from Mondstadt.
This "wind" from Mondstadt attracted many people, including those who had come to Inazuma from Mondstadt.
Many of them had only come to Inazuma for business or tourism, but due to the sakoku decree, they couldn't leave Inazuma and were forced to stay here.
Now, hearing the music from their homeland, they all felt an urge to shed tears, and some of them had already started crying.
A gentle "wind" blew past, as if the wind of Mondstadt was comforting them, telling them not to be too sad, one could say it was quite gentle.
"This music... is truly wonderful."
Listening with closed eyes, her body and mind felt as if they were being healed. Music can reflect the performer's character; to be able to play such beautiful music, she must be very gentle.
To have misunderstood such a gentle person, Kujou Sara felt her sins were so deep that she deserved a strike from the Raiden Shogun.
Among the onlookers, many also played instruments. They exchanged glances, and one of them picked up their instrument, trying to join Durandal's performance.
Although it was somewhat abrupt, this sound did not cause any interference, making the originally monotonous lyre music become lively.
Durandal slightly opened her eyes, looking at the person playing. Under the other party's nervous gaze, Durandal closed her eyes again, focusing her mind on the performance.
Although there were no words, she didn't stop him from joining, which meant... she agreed to play together, right?
