After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yingmei and Shuu Senri said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.

Seeing this, Huiyuan emerged from the bushes and stealthily approached the unsuspecting Paimon.

"Wow—finally free! The lady's methods are nothing special, letting us in so easily. Hmm, next we'll find Huiyuan to meet up, and then..."

Just then, Huiyuan's large face suddenly appeared, filling Paimon's field of vision.

"Oh my god—Hun, Huiyuan...? Why did you suddenly appear and startle me!"

"Haha, now that it's late at night and everyone's asleep, isn't this the perfect time to scare people? We can't waste this opportunity!"

"That sounds like something only a walnut would say..."

"Really? Maybe Hu Tao and I are a good match. Let's not talk about that. Let's go to Inazuma Castle first. I'll lead the way."

The group entered a small village called Konta and chatted about the pass as they walked along the path.

Paimon said that she and Ying were only temporarily free and had not yet obtained their travel permits.

"According to Miss Chisato, as long as we deliver the letter to Mr. Kamaji, the second young master of the Tenryo magistrate, he will help us solve the problem of the travel permit."

Upon hearing this, Marta asked:

"Why did Hiiragi Senri insist on asking you to deliver the message? Couldn't you have just sent someone else?"

"Because that old man, Shinsuke Hiiragi, opposes her daughter's contact with Kamaji... Hmph, that old bastard, not only does he secretly collude with women, but he also prevents his own daughter from pursuing love."

"I see... She's the type who uses her daughter as a political tool, she's really ruthless. So, since Sister Ying is a stranger who wants to go to Narukami Island, Hiiragi Senri seized the opportunity and asked us for help."

"Yes, that's about it."

The eldest daughter of the Imperial Envoy and the second son of the Imperial Envoy secretly love each other...

Wow, it seems Inazuma's journey will be full of gossip and commentary from now on.

Just then, the system spoke.

[A new "wish" has been detected: the love wishes of individuals named "Hira Senri" and "Kujo Kamaji" have been added to the Eye of God.]

Huiyuan was completely bewildered. She was just listening to other people chat, how could she collect wishes?

Wasn't the plan to collect the wishes of the deceased? So, it turns out that people can collect wishes by listening to others' stories while they're alive...

Haha, it seems that Nobushige died dozens of times in vain.

As the number of wishes carried in her own Eye of God increases, Huiyuan can feel herself becoming stronger.

Although it's not very obvious, at this rate of growth, it's probably only a matter of time before it can smash the sun with a single punch.

The stream gurgled and splashed as the group crossed the stone bridge piers, leaving Konta Village and entering an area called White Fox Field to continue their journey.

Not far away lies the cherry blossom-colored Inazuma Castle, a sight to behold that inspires awe...

Is this prosperous facade the "eternity" that General Thunder desired?

Speaking of General Thunder, a question inevitably arises in Paimon's mind—

If Huiyuan, who is also a general, were to fight against General Leidian, who would win?

Against the backdrop of the mountain scenery, Paimon asked this naive but amusing question.

“Yuanbao, Yuanbao.”

"I'm here, what's wrong, Paimon?"

"You are the Dawn General, and the god of Inazuma is the Thunder General. If you two were to fight, who would win?"

"Then you still need to ask?"

"Oh, so confident...it seems General Dawn is more formidable..."

"Uh...actually, I want to say that I don't know how confident I am."

Ascending the ancient slope, the outskirts of Inazuma Castle present a tranquil scene with a distinctly old-world charm... It seems that the bustling prosperity within the castle has not affected the scenery here.

The general's authority and benevolence also permeated this place, bringing a tranquil yet unique vitality.

After traveling all night, it was already dawn, and everyone was exhausted...

Paimon stretched and complained:

"It's all Thomas's fault! He wouldn't give us a way to leave the island before he left, making us waste so much time trying to get the passes. Or was making us find our own way to get the passes part of his test of our abilities? Hmph, anyway, let's go to Inazuma's Adventurers' Guild to gather some information and see where there's good food~"

Climbing up the steps, we arrived at the most bustling street in Inazuma Castle.

Soon, the group found the local adventurers' guild, and...

"Towards the stars and the abyss! Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild. You've finally arrived; I've been waiting for you for a long time, adventurer."

Yingmei stammered, looking at the scene before her with complete bewilderment.

"Yet another Miss Catherine..."

"Another one? Haha, when have you ever seen so many Catherines at the same time? If not, you've probably only seen the same me. As the Adventurers' Guild's only year-round receptionist, I use a special tool to teleport instantly across the world to handle various important matters..."

Catherine's confident expression made Yingmei's mouth drop open in surprise.

"After I've taken care of things here for you, I'll continue my teleportation to Fontaine. The adventurers there are notoriously stingy, so I'll have to treat them well."

"Really? I want to teleport too!"

"Oh...you believed that? Sorry, the teleportation thing was a joke, please don't take it to heart. Besides, don't you also know how to use teleportation anchors? Alright, let's not waste your time on this. Come on, let me handle the affairs of the Inazuma Adventurers' Guild for you."

After Yingmei finished handling the relevant matters, she asked Catherine for information and learned from her about a delicious snack stall nearby that was open in the morning.

Paimon ate his tricolor dumplings and started muttering to himself.

"Let's deliver the letter to Mr. Kamaji later. Let's worry about Thomas for now and get the pass first."

Ying nodded in agreement.

Huiyuan nodded in agreement and said:

"You guys go ahead, I have other things to do, so I won't run errands."

"Hey, what's up?"

"I have a bad feeling. Right now, immediately, I have to check. Mora, I paid. Marta, hurry up..."

Where does this ominous feeling come from?

Have you noticed a problem...?

Huiyuan arrived in Inazuma as a mysterious fox demon and revealed to Thomas that he knew Inazuma very well. However, a night passed, and the Yae no Kamiko did not make a sound.

You should know that Huiyuan caught a wild abbot, killed him, and then resurrected him several times.

Having demonstrated this ability, Yae no Miko didn't even personally come down to greet him...

Did she not know? Or did she think it was harmless?

Of course not. She definitely knew some of Huiyuan's secrets, which is why she did that!
