"My, my... I didn't expect so much good food here! If I'd known earlier, I would have ignored the thunderstorm and come straight over!"
Venti held a piece of chocolate cake in his left hand and a cup of milk tea in his right, having the time of his life.
Inazuma, under the guise of the festival, had launched other activities.
It was now afternoon. The number of tourists had increased. The sales of desserts were doubling. Because of Big Mom's picky nature, the ingredients she collected were always top-tier. Even the slightest deviation in taste was unacceptable. So, the people of Teyvat were tasting the highest quality goods.
Just as Venti was enjoying himself, a large group of people gathered at the Yae Publishing House booth, listening to a speech.
With the lifting of the Sakoku and Vision Hunt Decrees, the books recorded by Yae Miko were officially on sale.
The two hottest books currently were The Story of Luffy and Naruto.
Next to the Yae Publishing House was the ninja recruitment center, and the recruitment place for Inazuma's official soldiers.
As long as one's background was clean, had potential, and was willing to contribute to Inazuma, they could join these two organizations.
"Everyone, look... this is Armament Haki! In the past, people always thought the power of Haki was fake... now you can see for yourselves!"
Swish.
The officer's arm turned black. A soldier next to him slashed down with force.
Clang.
The person was fine. The sword broke.
The power of Armament Haki. How terrifying.
Subsequently, the power of Observation Haki was also demonstrated by the soldiers.
Venti watched for a moment and suddenly realized. This so-called Haki was the training method of the Knights of Favonius! Now, a part of his own Knights were using this cultivation method. It was a difficult but effective way to become stronger.
On the other side, the ninjas were led by Kuki Shinobu in a performance.
"Even without a Vision, one can use the power of the elements! Please watch my move... Lightning Release: Chidori..."
"Water Release: Water Encampment Wall!"
Two ninjas sparred in the ring. Their movements were very swift. And those flashy ninjutsu also opened the eyes of the people of Inazuma and foreign countries.
Just as Venti was watching happily, a sigh came from beside him.
He turned to look and saw a man squatting on the ground, drawing circles with a face full of despair.
"Eh... little brother, what's wrong?"
Venti was a kind god. In such a happy celebration, someone actually showed a sad expression. He naturally wanted to help.
Hearing someone comfort him, Gorou looked up and sighed again... because he didn't know what to say.
At this time, a loud voice came from nearby.
"Ahem... brothers, we are the Miss Hina Fan Club! We cannot disturb the progress of the festival..."
"Think about how understanding Miss Hina is! We can't let her be troubled for our sake..."
"Well said!!!"
The happier the people were, the more autistic Gorou's expression became.
The group of fans stood in front of Miss Hina's sign, vowing to protect her.
He felt dizzy just listening to it.
Because... because that Miss Hina was basically him!
That damn Yae Miko had feminized him! She was simply a demon. No, demons weren't as scary as her. And unfortunately, Gorou was no match for her...
Venti looked at the sign behind him, then at Gorou, and finally revealed an expression of realization.
"Little brother, don't tell me you are..."
"Shh... I'm like this, but I really have no choice... I'm in despair..."
Gorou estimated that the other party had also seen the resemblance between the poster and himself. So, he quickly stopped him.
As a result, the great Anemo Archon, Barbatos, misunderstood. He thought the other party wanted to become a beautiful, understanding big sister.
"It's okay, it's okay... I won't expose you. By the way... I'm so happy to come to Inazuma, why don't I help you fulfill a wish? Although this spell can only last for a day, you should be very happy, right?"
"What?" Gorou was baffled. Why was this person speaking so strangely?
Venti squatted down and patted Gorou on the shoulder. "Don't worry, little brother... since we met, we are friends! Having this kind of hobby is actually nothing. I'll help you... even if it's only once, I'm willing to help you achieve it. Enjoy the next day..."
Gentle emerald light flowed into Gorou's body from Venti's hand.
Before the other party knew what was happening, a shocking scream came from behind.
"Heavens... Miss Hina has appeared!!!"
"What? It's really Miss Hina..."
"Why is Miss Hina squatting on the ground!!!"
"Who dares to bully Miss Hina..."
Gorou turned around and looked at the crowd rushing towards him. His heart went cold.
What Miss Hina? I'm not her!!
He stood up and subconsciously defended himself, "I am not Miss Hina... you've got the wrong person..."
But after the words left his mouth, it wasn't his usual male voice. Instead, it was a soft and delicate voice.
This shocked Gorou immensely.
He looked down at his body. His originally flat chest was now bulging.
What the hell happened?!
But the next scene was beyond Gorou's imagination.
Seeing his panicked look, the group of people actually stopped automatically. Some even protected him.
"Everyone, don't scare Sister Hina!!!"
"Look what you've done... you've scared Miss Hina!!!"
"Miss Hina came to secretly watch our Fan Club today, don't mess it up..."
With the angry shouts, everyone reacted one after another. Then, order was restored directly.
Even the leader showed a flattering smile to Gorou.
"Miss Hina, do you have any orders? We can serve you directly..."
Looking at that disgusting smile, Gorou almost vomited.
However, just as he was about to make everyone leave, a thought floated in his mind.
So much free labor. Why not use it? And promote Watatsumi Island while I'm at it?
Thinking of this, Gorou coughed lightly and said, "Please don't be so fanatical. If you really want to help me, then buy more products from Watatsumi Island. Promote us..."
"What? Watatsumi Island is Miss Hina's hometown! I'll buy everything!!!"
"Buy, buy, buy! Don't stop..."
"Did you hear that? Miss Hina wants to promote Watatsumi Island..."
The hundred or so people started to act. That intensity was countless times stronger than Gorou promoting it himself. Especially after other fan clubs heard Gorou's words, they also joined in.
Thus, the stalls of Watatsumi Island were directly crowded!
...
In the distant attic.
Witnessing everything, Yae Miko laughed so hard she trembled.
"Hahahaha... this Anemo Archon really suits my taste! I didn't expect Gorou to accept his other identity. Mm, not bad... very promising. Look... this is the advantage of women... this young man is good. I approve..."
The people around laughed one after another. Only Yae Miko, this sly fox, could pull such a prank on others.
Su Han shook his head upon hearing this. "You... don't prank Gorou next time. If that jellyfish knows, she'll probably come crying again..."
"Tch... so what if she comes? What can she do to me... Besides, they have to thank me today. With the start of this festival, Watatsumi Island is probably making a killing..." Yae Miko said disdainfully.
The train specially passed through their island. Sightseeing. Selling specialties. It was hard not to make money.
Kujou Sara couldn't help but smile. "Just selling those desserts, we've struck it rich... I just received a notice. As of half an hour ago, eight million Mora of materials have been sold! And this is just the beginning. Ritou, Konda Village... activities are going on everywhere. I'm afraid two days later will be the liveliest time..."
"I think so too. By the way... Miko, don't you need to watch the shrine? There will be many people praying today..."
Hearing Ningguang's question, Yae Miko smiled. "Inagi Hotomi is there... and Kano Nana. As for me... I'll host on the night of the Fireworks Festival!"
If she stayed at the shrine for seven consecutive days, she would be bored to death. So, if she could slack off... it was best to slack off for a while longer.
Gradually, the time came to night.
Su Han said to Shenhe, Ganyu, Jean and the others, "Let's go... let's take this opportunity to tour Inazuma. It's exceptionally beautiful tonight..."
They looked at each other and said in unison, "We'll just play together..."
With that, they left laughing.
Su Han reacted. That's right. Everyone had been together for a long time.
With such a grand festival, why not invite that Electro Archon to participate?
Thinking of this, Su Han flew towards Tenshukaku.
Today's Inazuma was covered with flowers. It looked exceptionally beautiful. Street lamps made by Liyue were also arranged one after another. It could be said that such scenery was rare on ordinary days.
...
At this time, inside Tenshukaku.
The Raiden Shogun looked through the window at the lights outside, longing in her heart, but no thought of going out.
Because she always felt that there was a natural gap between her and those common people. If she went, those people would be respectful. She wouldn't experience any fun of playing.
Better to stay here. Just quietly protect Inazuma.
But just as her thought was confirmed, a figure appeared in front of her.
"Come... Wifey, I'll take you for a walk on the streets..."
Faced with Su Han's invitation, the Raiden Shogun did not hesitate and directly extended her small hand.
