Just as everyone was chatting and laughing in the courtyard, a ripple suddenly appeared in the open space, and a figure hurriedly appeared in everyone's line of sight.
After looking left and right, the figure finally found his target. To everyone's surprise, he quickly rushed to Shenhe, picked her up, and spun her around in the air.
Shenhe was both shy and embarrassed by this sudden turn of events. She quickly patted Miyashiro's shoulder and chided, "Miyashiro! Put me down quickly, everyone is here!"
After spinning Shenhe around a few times, Miyashiro finally put her down, but his excited mood had not yet calmed. His eyes were full of deep affection for Shenhe.
While shy, Shenhe also asked Miyashiro, with a mix of tears and laughter, about his sudden appearance: "Miyashiro, how did you come back so quickly? Didn't Kuki Shinobu say it would take a few more days?"
Miyashiro playfully flicked her nose and said dotingly, "That was the ship's arrival time. You brought me such great news, of course I had to rush back immediately. I used the Kamui Dimension to travel, so I arrived a few days earlier than expected."
Upon hearing this explanation, Shenhe felt a touch of emotion in addition to her happiness, but when the words reached her lips, they simply became: "Hmm, it's good that you're back."
At this moment, little Klee, who was off to the side, also recognized the newcomer and immediately bounced towards Miyashiro, who quickly caught her in his arms.
Klee's soft voice was already tinged with a slight sob as she said, "Brother Miyashiro, you're finally back. Klee missed you so much."
Miyashiro stroked Klee's little head and smiled, "Brother Miyashiro missed you too. Look what I brought back for you from Sumeru?"
With that, Miyashiro took out a complete set of Aranara wood carvings from the Kamui Dimension. These strange creatures, with their inexplicable cuteness, immediately captured Klee's attention.
Especially after Miyashiro told her the origin and stories of the Aranara, Klee became even more fond of these wooden souvenir carvings. She quickly declared that she would introduce them to Dodoco and skipped away.
At this moment, Yae Miko, who had been watching the show from the side, leaned towards Miyashiro and said sarcastically, "Oh, the little fellow is finally back. I thought you were captivated by the exotic charm of Sumeru and were reluctant to return to our remote little fishing village."
After Yae Miko's interruption, Miyashiro finally noticed that there were quite a few people in his backyard. Even with his thick skin, he awkwardly chuckled and said, "How could that be? While the charm of Sumeru is good, it can't compare to your charm, Sister Yae Miko. Besides, couldn't I just bring the charm of Sumeru back to Inazuma?"
Yae Miko chuckled and said, "Oh? You mean you hooked up with another little sister in Sumeru?"
Miyashiro generously stated, "What's hooking up with one? I moved Sumeru's most famous theater entirely back to Inazuma, so the people of Inazuma can also experience Sumeru's art.
Hey, don't misunderstand, the higher-ups of the Akademiya in Sumeru didn't approve of this 'vulgar' art. They issued an Art Ban in Sumeru, prohibiting any public art performances within Sumeru City. That theater was facing dissolution, so I just took the opportunity to package the entire theater and bring it back.
Our people in Inazuma live such hard lives; they don't have many recreational activities to relax. This is a good opportunity to provide them with another way to unwind."
After listening to Miyashiro's reasonable explanation, Yae Miko feigned indifference and said, "You are the Inazuma Regent. Why are you so eager to explain this to me? I don't care."
With that, she gracefully departed and returned to the crowd. Miyashiro looked at the beautiful women gathered in his backyard and felt curious, asking, "Why is it so lively at home today? Everyone is here."
Yelan added from the side, "There's nothing we can do, Madam Shenhe is pregnant, and there's no man at home to look after her, so we, her close friends, can only accompany her to chat and relieve boredom."
Miyashiro scratched his head a bit awkwardly and said, "So that's how it is. Thank you so much, Sister Yelan, and thank you all. By the way, have you had afternoon tea? I just happened to bring some specialty delicacies from Sumeru. Come and try them."
With that, Miyashiro took out a pile of long-lasting Sumeru specialty foods from the Kamui Dimension, such as date honey, Baklava, honey-glazed puffed fruit, and padisarah pudding.
Watching everyone savoring these Sumeru desserts, Miyashiro finally realized that it seemed desserts were not Ei's sole favorite. If not for the fear of gaining weight, who wouldn't love sweet and delicious food?
In addition, Miyashiro also specially brought fresh Sumeru plants for Ganyu to sample, and took out a large pile of Sumeru handicrafts, jewelry, and exquisite Fabric as souvenirs for everyone present.
In the warm afternoon sun, everyone enjoyed exquisite pastries and talked about interesting things. Everyone present was very perceptive and did not discuss any work-related matters; everyone knew what should be said and what should not be said.
Soon, Shenhe yawned in the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Sleepiness unknowingly swept over her, causing her to unconsciously lean her head on Miyashiro's shoulder, a sweet smile on her face.
Shenhe was now experiencing normal somnolence, needing to sleep at least twelve hours a day. Seeing that Shenhe was already sleepy, Miyashiro and Eula carefully helped her back to her room to rest.
Seeing that the main person was already asleep, Ganyu, Yelan, Hu Tao, Yoimiya, and Klee, as guests, naturally had no reason to stay. By the time Miyashiro returned to the courtyard, they had all successively departed, leaving only Ei, Chiyo, Yae Miko, Sara, and Kuki Shinobu, the high-ranking officials of Inazuma.
Miyashiro had anticipated their curiosity about the specific results of Inazuma's establishment of diplomatic relations with Sumeru and had waited until now. Therefore, when Miyashiro returned to the courtyard, his demeanor immediately changed, as if his previous identity was merely Shenhe's man, and his current identity was the Inazuma Regent!
Ei: "Miyashiro, this establishment of diplomatic relations with Sumeru lasted for nearly two months. What are the specific results?"
Upon hearing this, Miyashiro then took out the original copy of the state letter for establishing diplomatic relations with Sumeru from the Kamui Dimension and handed it to Ei. After quickly scanning it, Ei said nothing, but simply passed the original document to everyone present for viewing.
After everyone had read the state letter one by one, their expressions varied: some were excited, some relieved, some confused, some surprised, and some puzzled.
Kuki Shinobu, who was familiar with her Regent's way of doing things, was the first to ask, "Regent, is this all the harvest from this trip?"
