Time flew by, and it was the next morning.
Mr. Faxun arrived at Tenshukaku early, as per his original agreement with the Raiden sisters.
A group of Little Ones followed behind him, curiously observing Tenshukaku.
Currently, the exterior of Tenshukaku had not yet been adorned with a giant statue, and the surroundings were silent.
Golden sunlight streamed through the clouds, gently flowing onto the eaves of Tenshukaku.
Tenshukaku was exceptionally quiet at this moment, with only occasional bird calls echoing from the sky.
Neatly uniformed Shogunate Army soldiers stood guard at the entrance of Tenshukaku, holding long spears.
Seeing this scene, Makoto suddenly understood the meaning of "heavily guarded."
Tenshukaku was guarded by leading generals in all four directions, making the security orderly and watertight.
It could be said that Tenshukaku was heavily fortified, to the point where not even a bird could cross the area.
Needless to say, ordinary folk could only observe from a great distance.
After all, Tenshukaku was the residence of the Raiden Shogun, a realm beyond the reach of common people.
As Mr. Faxun arrived, the leading general spoke loudly, "By order of the General, Mr. Faxun is permitted free entry and exit from Tenshukaku!"
As the words fell, the Shogunate Army soldiers collectively made way.
The iron armor on their bodies clanged powerfully as they moved.
Many commoners in the distance were stunned by this sight; it was their first time hearing that someone could freely enter and exit Tenshukaku.
And he was even a foreigner?
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but scrutinize Mr. Faxun, full of curiosity.
Mr. Faxun was also slightly taken aback, not expecting such a grand display from the Raiden sisters.
Nevertheless, he strode into Tenshukaku.
Stepping through the main gate of Tenshukaku felt like entering another world.
It gave the impression that Tenshukaku and Inazuma were two completely different places.
The outdoor noise seemed to be isolated by the gate of Tenshukaku.
Inside, it was so quiet that Mr. Faxun could clearly hear his own footsteps.
During this time, the Little Ones were not idle; Ningguang was pondering whether she could derive some peripheral products from Tenshukaku to sell.
Qiqi blinked his big pink eyes; he had no interest in Tenshukaku, only looking up at the birds flying in the sky.
Beidou, on the other hand, stared intently at the weapons in the Shogunate Army soldiers' hands, finding them quite interesting.
Shenhe preferred such a quiet atmosphere; her master Ganyu had told her that such an environment was most suitable for comprehending immortal arts.
And Keqing stared fixedly at the Raiden symbol on Tenshukaku.
It was said that the Raiden Shogun controlled the power of the element of lightning.
She hoped the Raiden Shogun could bestow power upon her.
Ayaka's expression was somewhat nervous.
As the princess of the Kamisato Family, her every word and action during her outing now represented the Kamisato Family, and she could not lose composure in front of the Shogun.
And Sara's gaze lingered more on the Shogunate Army soldiers behind her.
She also hoped that when she grew up, she could become such a general, so she could protect her brother, Makoto.
Just then, the Raiden Shogun walked towards Mr. Faxun, step by step.
Her magnificent purple eyes looked at Mr. Faxun, and she spoke softly, "I apologize for making you all wait."
Mr. Faxun could not distinguish between the Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei sisters by appearance, only by their tone and expression.
The one speaking so gently and kindly now must be Raiden Makoto, right?
In response, Mr. Faxun smiled and said, "It's alright, Makoto. If you're ready, let's go."
The Raiden Shogun standing opposite him paused slightly, then said plaintively, "I am Ei. Makoto is currently in the Plane of Euthymia."
"She's a bit interested in the Shogun puppet, so I will lead you all on a tour of Inazuma this morning, and she will come out in the afternoon."
As she spoke, Raiden Ei paused, her gaze fixed on Mr. Faxun.
"Mr. Faxun, you can't even tell us sisters apart?"
Mr. Faxun was startled, not expecting that the person speaking with such a gentle tone was Ei.
He gave an awkward but polite smile and said, "Indeed, I didn't expect to be mistaken."
"However... sometimes it's hard to tell..."
Ei tilted her head, unable to understand the meaning of that sentence.
At this moment, Mr. Faxun smiled and said, "Ei, today's festival is about to begin, let's go!"
Ei, who had come back to her senses, nodded gently, then followed Mr. Faxun out of Tenshukaku.
Seeing Ei walk out of Tenshukaku, the Shogunate Army soldiers and ordinary commoners outside the gate all bowed in unison.
It was clear that their expressions were filled with reverence for the General.
"No need for formalities. Today, I am merely touring Inazuma as an ordinary citizen."
As the words fell, the commoners exchanged glances, all surprised.
The General is going to personally attend the festival?
I'm brainstorming the next part of the story, trying to make the festival content as interesting and lighthearted as possible.
Everyone, please get some rest early and don't stay up late.
