"Besides, this happened partly because I failed to make a timely decision. I should be the one to resolve it."
Lumine looked at Ei. "That is admirable. Very responsible."
[Yae Miko: As expected of my Ei.]
[Ei: Miko, please show some restraint in front of the other nations.]
[Yae Miko: Everyone already knows about our relationship. What is there to hide?]
[Furina: With my years of experience reading scripts, I sense something special in the air.]
[Yae Miko: It is the scent of friendship.]
[Navia: Hmph, Lumine, back in Fontaine you never said I was responsible.]
[Lumine: Let me make up for what happened in the future. Navia, you are the most responsible president I have ever met.]
[Navia: Hahaha! Being praised really makes me happy.]
[Tartaglia: Speaking of which, is Signora really dead?]
[Signora: Not yet. As expected of Inazuma's deity, she completely disregards diplomatic relations between nations.]
[Paimon: The Fatui caused trouble in Inazuma too. Aren't you worried Ei will retaliate?]
[Yae Miko: Signora, now that you know in advance you will die in Inazuma, what methods will you use to take revenge and make Ei regret it?]
[Tartaglia: Inazuma's Gnosis has not been obtained yet, Signora. You need to consider the consequences.]
[Signora: Revenge? Of course not. Obtaining the Gnosis peacefully would be ideal.]
[Ei: If you want the Gnosis, send Arlecchino to retrieve it. Signora, the moment you set foot on Inazuman soil, lightning will strike.]
[Paimon: The future Ei is angry.]
[Paimon: Inazuma was thrown into chaos. But why Arlecchino?]
[Lumine: I imagine Arlecchino's conduct earned Ei's respect.]
[Arlecchino: Although I am not keen on overtime, if necessary, I will make a trip to Inazuma.]
[Lyney: Father, please let me come with you.]
[Arlecchino: Mm. Meet me at the harbor tomorrow.]
Ippei clasped his hands together in gratitude. "Thank you so much. I am grateful to Her Excellency the Shogun for helping. I will also search elsewhere."
"I will mark the location of that camp for you now. I hope your journey goes smoothly."
With Ippei's help, Lumine found the Takatsukasa clan's secret building.
The building was hidden within the mountains, with an unremarkable entrance.
Paimon exclaimed, "There is actually a place this hidden!"
[Yae Miko: Mm. Discussing matters in such a secretive location suggests the Takatsukasa clan does not want the contents of the conversation to spread.]
[Paimon: Sneaking around means doing bad things.]
[Clorinde: Not necessarily. Hunters cannot reveal their tracks before capturing their prey.]
[Paimon: I know, I know. When you captured Furina for the trial, everyone gathered together to scheme too.]
[Furina: Paimon! Do not use me as an example!]
[Lumine: There might not be any other examples.]
[Furina: No, I am absolutely certain there is another one. Tartaglia. Even he was kept in the dark by his teammates.]
[Tartaglia: That was an unpleasant memory. With those two plotting against me, I felt like a clown jumping around.]
[Paimon: A wealthy clown.]
[Tartaglia: Ah, yes. It seems my name and lavish spending gave you the impression I am rich. But I must say, that money was not mine.]
[Paimon: What? Tartaglia, you do not have money?]
[Tartaglia: I do have quite a bit of Mora, but not that much. My expenses in Liyue were all reimbursed.]
[Pantalone: The money I worked so hard to earn, and Tartaglia spends it without any restraint. Ah, it is truly heartbreaking.]
