"Eh? How can that be? And Shiki, are you really going to cook? I remember you didn't even know how to use a pot, right?" Fujiwara asked with a strange expression.
"What's with that expression? I just don't know how to start a fire, I'm not saying I can't cook!"
Shiki felt insulted. Damn it, if there were a gas stove, would she need others to cook?
The main thing was that she hadn't eaten her hometown dishes in a long time, and no one in Inazuma knew how to cook Liyue cuisine, so she had to do it herself.
"But... how can you cook if you don't know how to start a fire?"
"...Just tell me if you're coming or not?"
"If you can cook, of course I'll come. But what if you don't cook well?"
"If I don't cook well, I'll eat it myself. Satisfied?"
"Alright!"
Just kidding, she only didn't know how to start a fire; her cooking skills were quite good. Otherwise, how would she have managed after her parents passed away? She couldn't possibly order takeout or eat out every day, could she?
The group teleported back to the Kamisato Estate. Next, it was Shiki's showtime.
Meanwhile, on a warship in the Inazuma sea... "Lord Childe, the compensation amount requested by Inazuma has come down," a Pyro Agent said, bowing.
"Oh? How much do they want us to pay?"
"Uh... Reporting to Lord Childe, 20 billion Mora..."
"That's easy, it's just twenty... Wait, how much? Did you add two extra zeros?"
Tartaglia shot up from his seat. He could accept 2 billion, but what the hell was 20 billion?
"No, no, how would this subordinate dare? The Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine indeed said that number."
The Pyro Agent wiped non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. Her Majesty above, do you know how much courage it took him to say that number?
"20 billion..."
Tartaglia stared blankly at the Gnosis in his hand. He hadn't spent 20 billion Mora even when he was paying for Mr. Morax's expenses daily in Liyue. It seemed these Inazumans were determined to fleece him.
However, this wasn't bad. If the Gnosis of every nation could be bought with Mora like Inazuma's, that would be great. Snezhnaya was wealthy, owning the world's only bank, and money was the one thing they didn't lack.
20 billion Mora was, at most, a bit of a headache, not enough to cause serious damage.
Realizing this, Childe couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahahahahahaha!"
"Lord Childe, why are you laughing?"
"Heh, I laugh at Signora's lack of foresight and Balladeer's foolishness. After so much effort, she lost her life and didn't even know where the Gnosis was."
"It's something that can be bought with money. Quickly go to the Northland Bank and get 20 billion Mora, then send it to the Inazuma Shogunate."
Tartaglia said, putting away the Gnosis. Such a valuable item couldn't be lost. Now, three of the six nations' Gnosis had been obtained. He wondered how far along the other three nations were.
And he heard that the Tsaritsa had granted a new Harbinger title to replace the deceased Signora, it was something like... 'The Knave'?
However, the Harbingers' ranking was based on their joining time. So, did that mean he was no longer the last seat?
He should be the Ninth Seat now, since Signora and Balladeer were both gone.
This trip to Inazuma was pretty good. Not only did he complete the Tsaritsa's objectives, but he also had a thrilling battle with Inazuma's strong fighters.
Although he lost, Tartaglia didn't mind. He would just get his revenge once he became stronger!
But the problem was... could he enter Inazuma again in the future?
With the Gnosis in hand, the Fatui would no longer be allowed to step foot in Inazuman territory, which Tartaglia found quite regrettable.
After all, it meant he would have no more opportunities to fight Inazuma's strong fighters.
