Lumine asked, "Will you personally govern Inazuma from now on?"
Ei shook her head. "I will leave that to the Shogun. The greatest threat to eternity remains the erosion brought by time."
"I mentioned that the Shogun has a self-preservation mechanism because I anticipated that I might change over time. But since I have already worked through these thoughts, I will make the changes no matter how difficult they may be."
She took a deep breath. "This time has truly been memorable."
[Furina: This time in the livestream has been very memorable for everyone too.]
[Yae Miko: Perhaps we could write a light novel based on this. How about calling it I Can Chat with the Seven Archons?]
[Paimon: But the Seven Archons hardly ever talk!]
[Lumine: How about calling it Genshin? Everyone who possesses a Vision has the qualification to become a god, and they are also called Genshin. Everyone in this livestream is a Genshin.]
[Yae Miko: Not bad. That is quite an appropriate title. But such a name lacks appeal.]
[Zhongli: I think Genshin is a very good title. Quite fitting.]
[Lumine: For the cover, let us use a picture of little Paimon.]
[Kamisato Ayaka: Why?]
[Lumine: Because Paimon is truly adorable!]
Paimon said, "With the Tenryou Commission matter resolved and the people seeing that the Shogun is healthy, all the negative rumors will naturally disappear."
"If you enjoy going out, we can invite you again next time."
Lumine added, "We can bring some local specialties and new interesting things."
Ei declined. "That is not necessary. That is not part of my life."
"And do not make it sound like I need companionship."
[Yae Miko: Ei, do you really not need companionship?]
[Ei: I truly do not.]
[Yae Miko: Really?]
[Ei: Really.]
[Furina: Companionship... it is very hard to go without, is it not?]
[Neuvillette: If one is busy enough, companionship is not necessary.]
[Ganyu: When immersed in work, one does not feel lonely.]
[Paimon: But Ei gives all her work to the Shogun, so she is not busy.]
[Yae Miko: Immersion in work makes one forget loneliness. Without work, one becomes lonely. Therefore, Ei needs companionship.]
[Lumine: You can come out and play often. People would be very happy to see their deity, just like Furina. The people of Fontaine cheer for her and celebrate her.]
[Ei: But I do not know how to perform.]
[Paimon: That has nothing to do with performing!]
With that, Ei walked toward Tenshukaku. "I am ready to return. My secluded cultivation will continue for a while longer, but not too long. I will leave the minor matters to you humans to handle."
Paimon waved. "See you next time!"
Lumine and Paimon then returned to the Grand Narukami Shrine to return the pass to Yae Miko.
Inside the shrine, Miko was gazing at the Sacred Sakura tree in contemplation.
"Miko, we are back! Everything went smoothly," Paimon greeted enthusiastically.
Miko turned around with a smile. "Good. Now you must tell me all about your adventure."
Ei recounted everything that had happened. Miko burst out laughing. "Hahaha! How amusing! The mighty Shogun, strolling through the city like a country girl fresh off the farm!"
"What a pity I could not witness it myself."
[Paimon: As expected of Miko.]
[Lumine: I am still curious about the milk dumplings. Did Ei actually like them?]
[Paimon: Liyue has so many novel foods, an incredible variety. Once Ei comes to Liyue, she will not want to leave.]
[Lumine: Yes. A thousand times better than macaroni.]
[Furina: Macaroni is also very delicious!]
[Paimon: Furina, before your fall, had you ever eaten macaroni?]
[Furina: Fall? What fall? When did I ever fall! My savings are still abundant!]
[Lumine: Paimon meant after you lost your chef.]
[Furina: I have eaten macaroni. I think it is delicious!]
