"If one day I am no longer here, you must protect Inazuma well..."
"Sister, we will be together forever."
"Little sister?" Raiden Makoto rubbed her head. In the dream last night, she didn't seem like a bystander, but a participant.
Everything was exceptionally real.
Was that her memory? Was she from Inazuma? Otherwise, why would she want to protect Inazuma?
As expected, how could her sister be that Keqing?
"Sister, you seem to have had a nightmare." Sayu's voice appeared by her ear. She turned her head and saw Sayu observing her, and Sayu seemed to have a curious look on his face.
After Kamisato Ayaka found Sayu with her yesterday and told Sayu about those matters, they returned to the Kamisato Clan together. Then, she displayed her culinary skills and completely conquered Kamisato Ayaka, and Sayu also happened to be immersed in her cooking.
If nothing else, Raiden Makoto was very confident in her culinary skills.
"Sister, do you have a little sister?" Sayu looked at Raiden Makoto with curiosity. "You seemed to be muttering about a little sister in your dream."
"Mhm..."
"Are you separated from your sister? I heard from Demoiselle Ayaka that you seem to have amnesia, Sister."
"Yes."
"Demoiselle Ayaka has gone out to handle business. Sister, we need to prepare to set off for Watatsumi Island." Since tasting Raiden Makoto's cooking, Sayu had completely succumbed.
Especially since Raiden Makoto drank sake with Kamisato Ayaka yesterday and seemingly blacked out. A drunken Raiden Makoto had held him and rubbed his head; it was better not to tell Raiden Makoto about those things.
After all, Kamisato Ayaka had also drunk too much and performed actions she had never seen before. He didn't dare say much about those dark histories of Raiden Makoto and her Demoiselle Ayaka.
"Um, did I drink too much last night?" Raiden Makoto's alcohol tolerance in her past life was pitifully small, almost to the point of passing out after one cup. As for now, being a weak Lady, it might be even worse.
Her head was a bit dizzy. She only remembered that last night, to see her off, Kamisato Ayaka had drunk some Inazuman sake with her.
"Yes, after you drank too much, I was the one who brought you over to sleep..." Sayu's small face turned slightly red. He would absolutely not say those things out loud; he would keep them hidden deep in his heart.
"Thank you."
Inazuma is divided into six major islands: Narukami Island, Kannazuka, Yashiori Island, Watatsumi Island, Seirai Island, and Tsurumi Island.
The distance between Narukami Island and Watatsumi Island was almost equivalent to the distance from Mondstadt City to Liyue Harbor. Over the past two days, she had gained a general understanding of Inazuma's geography.
However, because of religious beliefs, although Watatsumi Island nominally belongs to the rule of the Raiden Shogun and is part of Inazuma, in reality, Watatsumi Island is independent and has broken away from the rule of the Shogunate.
That was also one of the reasons why Watatsumi Island could give birth to the resistance. She heard from Kamisato Ayaka that the priestess of that Orobashi, the Great Serpent of Watatsumi Island leads the Watatsumi Island resistance.
"It's not easy to go to Watatsumi Island, sigh..." Sayu sighed slightly. Watatsumi Island is now the resistance's base, and the Shogunate has already blocked the routes to Watatsumi Island.
Even the front lines were preparing for war.
"Isn't that easy to handle? I already discussed it with Ayaka yesterday." Although she drank a bit much last night, she had already told Kamisato Ayaka the strategy for approaching Watatsumi Island. Since most people on Watatsumi Island were those in Inazuma prepared for danger in times of peace, plus some who had lost their Visions.
Couldn't she also pretend to be someone who had lost their Vision? By contacting people from the Watatsumi Island side, she could enter Watatsumi Island.
Although Kamisato Ayaka couldn't contact the resistance openly, it was feasible for her to contact the resistance people secretly.
So she and Kamisato Ayaka hit it off immediately.
"Are you two ready? Makoto, Sayu."
Thoma was naturally handling the business of contacting the resistance, and now he had also completely returned to the Kamisato Estate.
"Mhm."
"Sigh... contacting the resistance is really not an easy task. After all, the Kamisato Clan is the head of the Yashiro Commission and belongs to one of the Three Commissions under the Shogunate; the resistance doesn't trust us."
"But fortunately, I've already used my connections to find someone to help you contact the resistance. The resistance side has also agreed, but you have to get to Nazuchi Beach; someone will meet you there."
"Makoto, be careful on the way." Thoma looked at Raiden Makoto seriously. For a moment, he felt some admiration for Raiden Makoto. A weak Lady without any combat capability was actually willing to go to Watatsumi Island regardless of safety to help them oppose the Vision Hunt Decree.
"Okay."
"Thoma, you and Ayaka should also be careful when investigating the Tenryou Commission. If..."
"We will."
"Sayu, let's set off."
Watching Raiden Makoto and Sayu leave the Kamisato Estate, Thoma murmured, "I hope you have a safe journey, Makoto."
"You and the Demoiselle are somewhat similar."
Starting from the Kamisato Estate, they almost had to pass through Narukami Island to reach outlying islands. The journey could not be called short.
"Sister, are we going directly to outlying islands?" Sayu asked in a childish voice from the side, "Sister?"
"Yes, directly to outlying islands." Raiden Makoto was not very willing to stay on Narukami Island for too long. Some things change if delayed; she had to facilitate the alliance between the resistance and the Kamisato Clan as soon as possible.
Of course, on the other hand, it was also to monitor the resistance. If the resistance was simply opposing the Vision Hunt Decree, then nothing would happen. If it was to oppose the rule of the Shogunate, then the Kamisato Clan should do something.
Moreover, those images in the dream also created a desire in Raiden Makoto's heart to protect Inazuma. She also hoped that Inazuma could be stable.
She now only felt a bit strange. If the Lady was from Inazuma, then with the Kamisato Clan's status and ability, why couldn't they investigate her identity? But if the Lady was not from Inazuma, why would she have a mind to protect Inazuma?
So she was very puzzled.
Could she be an illegitimate daughter of some family in Inazuma? That's why Kamisato Ayaka couldn't investigate her origins.
Bah, she really shouldn't think wildly about things that don't exist. Raiden Makoto shook her head. She had to help Kamisato Ayaka solve the Vision Hunt Decree first, then look for her sister.
Only after finding her sister would all the questions be answered.
"Sister... are you worried about danger on the road? Don't worry, with my ninjutsu, it's no problem to take you and escape." Seeing Raiden Makoto's worried expression, Sayu quickly spoke to comfort her.
"Sayu, let's go to Watatsumi Island early and negotiate with that Sangonomiya Divine Priestess."
"Mhm."
