Yae Miko gazed at the cherry blossoms on the street and murmured softly, "In many cases, trying leads to dying."
For a moment, Makoto could strongly feel that Yae Miko's tone of voice was full of farewell.
It was as if Mr. Faxun was about to embark on a path of no return.
Mr. Faxun smiled politely yet awkwardly, "Miss Yae, it shouldn't be as exaggerated as you say..."
"Even if Ei can't cook, how bad could it be?"
"Anyway, no matter what, I want to try."
Mr. Faxun paused, his gaze turning to Raiden Ei beside him, "Don't you agree, Ei?"
Ei also nodded gently upon hearing this, then said with full fighting spirit, "This time, I definitely won't blow up the kitchen!"
Hmm?
Blow up the kitchen?
Mr. Faxun suddenly felt that things weren't simple.
Just then, footsteps came from not far away.
It was a young woman with her Horsetail tied up, wearing thin-rimmed glasses.
She looked gentle and scholarly.
Yae Miko recognized the woman as her editor at a glance.
Suddenly, Yae Miko felt a throbbing pain in her temples.
Because for her, every time she saw her editors running out, it meant trouble.
Sure enough, the editor's eyes lit up when she saw Yae Miko, as if she had found a life-saving straw.
The editor rushed over and said, "Editor-in-Chief Yae, I finally found you!"
"Yae Publishing House is in chaos right now, everyone is indecisive, you should hurry over and take a look!"
Yae Miko slowly removed her mask, revealing her exquisite and charming face.
"Compared to the trouble at Yae Publishing House, I'm more curious how you found me?"
The editor pointed to the mask in Yae Miko's hand, then said weakly, "In all of Inazuma, you're probably the only one who dares to use a mask like this..."
Yae Miko glanced at the mask in her hand; it depicted a crying purple-haired Little Ones.
Well, she had originally intended to use this mask to tease Raiden Ei.
Now it seemed she had dug a pit for herself.
Yae Miko rubbed her temples, then looked up at Mr. Faxun, "Mr. Faxun, it seems I can't continue to accompany you around Inazuma today."
"For the rest of the time, let that Country bumpkin accompany you and have a good time. The Inazuma festival is quite interesting."
Yae Miko paused, then continued, "If she really gets you lost..."
"You can shout loudly 'The great Yae Miko, who possesses both beauty and wisdom', and I will appear then."
"Alright, that's all for now, I need to go see what kind of mess those editors have left for me."
As she spoke, Yae Miko turned and walked towards Yae Publishing House.
The female editor also bade farewell to Mr. Faxun and the others, then hurriedly followed behind Yae Miko, explaining the situation at Yae Publishing House.
Soon, the two left the snack shop.
Looking at Yae Miko's departing back, Raiden Ei softly said, "That Xiao Jiahuo..."
"Does she think I'm the kind of person who would get lost in Inazuma?"
"She's underestimating me too much."
Yae Miko's words also stirred Raiden Ei's competitive spirit.
She couldn't let Yae Miko look down on her.
It's just traveling in Inazuma, isn't it?
What's so difficult?
...
"Um... Ei, have we been here just now?"
Mr. Faxun looked at the snack shop in front of him, deep in thought.
After circling around, they returned to the original snack shop.
Could it be that Ei got lost?
Ei surveyed the street scene in front of her, saying somewhat confusedly, "Have we been here?"
Sara and Ayaka nodded weakly.
The Little Ones had good observation skills and confirmed they were back where they started.
In response, Raiden Ei said, "Sorry, I've been staying in the Plane of Euthymia, so many places in Inazuma have become unfamiliar."
If Yae Miko were here, she would definitely mock Raiden Ei mercilessly,
saying that as a god of Inazuma, she would actually get lost in Inazuma.
Ei also felt a bit embarrassed about this.
Mr. Faxun also saw Ei's embarrassment and said with a smile, "No big deal, we can just wander around."
As he spoke, Mr. Faxun pointed in a direction.
There were many tables set up there, with many common people sitting, looking very lively.
"I see a lot of people gathered over there, there must be something fun going on, why don't we go take a look."
Mr. Faxun felt that Ei might not be suitable as a guide,
because Ei herself was not familiar with modern Inazuma.
Since that was the case, they might as well just look around randomly.
When Mr. Faxun and the others got closer, they saw that the people were sitting facing each other in pairs.
On the tables were chessboards, with five colors of pieces:
green representing Anemo, red representing Pyro, purple representing Electro, and dark blue and light blue representing Hydro and Cryo.
The shop owner saw the customers arrive and enthusiastically said, "Customers, would you like to see our new product that just launched?"
"It's very interesting, I guarantee you'll be interested!"
Mr. Faxun looked at the chess pieces on the table and felt very familiar with them.
He subconsciously said, "Theater Mechanicus?"
This was a limited-time event in the game, where one would place mechanisms to stop monsters from reaching the end.
He hadn't expected that this event was only just being launched now.
The shop owner was also savoring what Mr. Faxun had just inadvertently said.
"Theater Mechanicus? That's a good name!"
"We're holding a naming contest here, and you can get a gift if your name is adopted!"
"Sir, the 'Theater Mechanicus' you just mentioned has been adopted, I'll go get your gift now!"
Mr. Faxun was slightly stunned upon hearing this.
What's going on?
He just casually said the name of the event, and then somehow got a gift?
Before Mr. Faxun could react, the shop owner handed him a bouquet of flowers.
"This is the gift for the naming contest, now you can give the flowers to someone you like!"
As he spoke, the shop owner took a step back and looked at Mr. Faxun with encouraging eyes,
and kept winking at Mr. Faxun, signaling him to give the flowers to the lady next to him.
And the person standing next to Mr. Faxun was none other than Raiden Ei.
