"Then you'll have to write a song for me next time!" Ying said with a smile.

"Ugh..." Lin Qiu had a headache; songwriting was really not his forte.

The blame lies with Lin Qiu, who likes to hum songs while writing; everyone who has met him thinks he's very good at composing songs.

"No, no! If we're going to write something, we should write it for the big boss first!" Hu Tao retorted.

“Then I’ll be second in line,” Navia said with a smile.

"So I'm the third boss?" Ayaka Kamisato pondered.

During his time in Inazuma, Lin Qiu lived in the Kamisato residence. In order to legitimately freeload, Lin Qiu became the Kamisato family's honorary advisor.

Lin Qiu said, "Although I receive salaries from three wealthy female bosses, I don't do any work."

"I clearly put in the most effort! Why wasn't I considered when it came time to share the rewards?" Mona said.

"Speaking of which, isn't Funina the water goddess? Why doesn't she handle things like manipulating water herself?" Mona noticed a blind spot.

“Well, well, that’s because… because…” Funina gave Lin Qiu a meaningful look.

Lin Qiu added, "Because Furnessa used most of her power on the Cardinals of Decree and Judgment."

“Yes, yes, yes.” Funina pointed to her index finger, looking like she knew it was the one.

"Is that so?" Mona nodded. It made sense, after all, it was such a magical gadget.

Most of Fontaine's energy comes from the Cardinal Decree, which is certainly no ordinary thing.

"Issue the Cardinal!" Fischl struck the JOJO pose she'd learned from Lin Qiu; she seemed very excited and fond of the name.

With arms crossed in front of the chest, one higher than the other, twisting the waist and tilting the head to look sideways.

"The machine that decides fate and judges sins, ah—! Water god of Fontaine, I never thought you were also worthy of judgment!"

Funina: "Huh?"

If I remember correctly, I am the god of justice, right?

Mona sighed, "Little... no, Your Highness, perhaps you should tone down your temper in front of the Water God?"

Although we've spent many days together and can indeed be called friends, the other party is the Water God, and we're still in Fontainebleau. Be careful not to be arrested for some strange crime of disrespecting the gods.

"Yes, I understand Lord Megistus's words of blessing." Little Amy was very obedient and did indeed restrain herself a bit.

She stopped posing in the JOJO pose, placed her two little hands in front of her chest, her fingertips touching, her palms sometimes close and sometimes separate, looking a little uncomfortable, and glancing at Lin Qiu from time to time.

Lin Qiu naturally noticed this and, finding it amusing to tease Little Amy, asked, "Does Your Majesty have anything to say?"

"Huh?" Little Amy didn't expect Lin Qiu to call her "Your Majesty" directly, which was even more excessive than "Your Highness". She had been promoted from a princess to an empress all of a sudden.

"Ahem, Qiu Chengqing, have you prepared a congratulatory song for this princess?"

Lin Qiu remained silent, realizing that this was yet another person asking him for a song. "Your Majesty is of noble birth; how could I possibly be qualified to compose a congratulatory song for Your Majesty?"

"!" Little Amy was startled. She wanted to refute but was too embarrassed, after all, Lin Qiu had praised her.

In the brief moment of hesitation, she missed the best opportunity to refute him, because Arecino and Navelette arrived.

They weren't backstage; they had been watching from the audience, so it took them a while to get here.

“What a wonderful collaboration, Mr. Lin Qiu. I hope to work with you again for the next magic show,” Lin Ni said first.

The stage design was indeed his and Lynette's idea, but the reason they performed so well was because Lin Qiu and the others were highly capable and had excellent teamwork.

"I'll definitely do it next time," Lin Qiu replied perfunctorily, but the Teyvats didn't realize it was just a perfunctory response, and Lin Ni kept it in mind.

Meanwhile, Funina had already hidden behind Lin Qiu, hoping that the 'Dark Version of Yura' wouldn't see her.

Arecino naturally noticed her; it would be hard not to notice such a large 'blueberry cupcake'.

Although Lin Qiu was very tall, Xiao Fufu hid behind him, but her tuft of hair was not well hidden and swayed, attracting attention.

“Ms. Fulina’s performance was truly impressive,” Arecino said, trying to keep her tone gentle.

Funina's ahoge (cowlick) straightened for a moment, realizing she had been discovered.

"Ahem, good day, Executor of the Fools," Funina said politely.

Arecino nodded. She really liked Furina's performance, especially the last scene, which reminded her of some things.

She even said that if she didn't dislike acting, she would have liked to act with Funina once.

It's fortunate that she doesn't like performing in musicals, otherwise, it would have been quite a nightmare to have her play the role of 'redemption' Furnessa.

If on stage, Furnessa sees Arecino's arm reaching out to her from the 'underwater'.

Then the other person made a move to pull me up, and when I met her scarlet eyes, I didn't even want to imagine how funny it would be.

Uh, I mean, I can't even imagine how scared Fufu must be.

However, if it's Arecino, she should be the one who was 'redeemed', so why not have Yae no Miko make a cameo appearance? After all, they're both pink-haired.

When the time comes, Yae no Miko will stretch out her hand and say, "Say it with me, one, two, three, three, two, one, ahhh," and then the upper and lower parts will be connected.

As for Navelette, who came along, she didn't say much, only nodding approvingly at Funina.

“Mr. Lin Qiu, I have something I’d like to discuss with you privately. Do you have time?” Navelette asked.

Arecino was exasperated. Why did they steal my lines?

Although the Queen has not yet decided whether to accept Lin Qiu's proposal, the executives already know what Lin Qiu's proposal is.

Arecino originally wanted to discuss this topic with Lin Qiu, since she was the executor in charge of carrying out missions in Fontaine.

Lin Qiu's condition was essentially that she should behave and obey him from now on.

Incidentally, Clarinde also contributed a lot; she was the lighting technician.

"Sinking to the bottom of the sea and falling into darkness? What would I do? Hmm... It reminds me of what Lin Qiu said when he used lightning element, 'Shatter the darkness with lightning.'"

Chapter 204, Act Three: A Thousand Hands and a Hundred Eyes, Under Heaven and on Earth

Over the next few days, Wendy hitched a ride back to Mondstadt in Lin Qiu's 'travel van'. He had only come along because he heard that Lin Qiu and his group were coming to Fontainebleau and thought that there would be good work with Lin Qiu around.

In addition, the influence of Zhongli's second story continues to spread, and the people of Liyue have begun to pay attention to the problem of the Laminar Fissure.

Coincidentally, the Seven Stars were also considering whether to loosen their control over the Layered Rock Abyss, and this incident has accelerated the progress of this consideration.

Besides the people of Liyue, Venti is also very interested.

I traveled all the way from Mondstadt to Liyue, not for any other reason than to chat with Zhongli.

Even though you've lost Ruoda, you still have me!

And it just so happens that Lin Qiu isn't home, so I know where he hides his liquor, hehe.

Those were all famous teas and wines given by the Seven Stars as a token of their gratitude, and Lin Qiu doesn't drink them, what a waste!

As the plan to open the Abyss of Layered Rocks progressed step by step, and Wendy secretly drank Lin Qiu's wine, another new book by Lin Qiu was released.

Venti hadn't expected that he would arrive in Liyue just in time for the release of a new book. Now he could drink Lin Qiu's wine, stay in Lin Qiu's house, and read Lin Qiu's book.

I think Lin Qiu, who's far away in Inazuma, will forgive me. After all, we're friends! What's wrong with me helping you spend a little money?

Lin Qiu's newly released book is the third act of Inazuma - A Thousand Hands and a Hundred Eyes, Under Heaven and on Earth.

Having finished telling the stories of Mondstadt and Liyue, it's now Inazuma's turn. He's really spreading the love evenly across the board.

This story is probably the one the Inatsume people are most looking forward to, because based on past experience, the third act is the ending, and they really want to know what Inatsume's future holds.

Even on Kamisato-yashiki's side, not everyone had seen the third act in advance; only Yae no Miko had actually seen it.

She secretly ate it all by herself, without sharing it with anyone else.

The story of this third act begins with the traveler and Teppei traveling by boat to Haigi Island.

Upon arriving at Haiji Island, Teppei first introduced the location of the military camp to the traveler, told him about his own residence, and said that the traveler could come here to find him if he needed anything in the future.

Then he would take the traveler to the Coral Palace to keep their appointment.

Lin Qiu drew an illustration for Coral Palace, which was a novel experience for Inatsume.

Although they have lived together for thousands of years, very few Inatsumi people have actually been to Umijima Island.

It must be said that Coral Palace is very beautiful. Developing tourism might be a good option. Given the terrain of Hagi Island, it could at least attract many anglers.

Unfortunately, Inazuma is currently under lockdown, so developing tourism is just wishful thinking.

The seclusion edict had a significant impact on Umigi Island, but the resistance on Umigi Island only began after the Eye Hunting Edict was issued.

Under the influence of the isolation edict, the development of Kaiji Island was not very satisfactory. The reason why it was able to contend with the shogunate army was partly due to the fact that the Tenryo (Tenryo) followed the principle of nurturing bandits to maintain its own importance, and partly due to the aid it received.

Recently, they unexpectedly received a large sum of aid, which was like sending charcoal in snowy weather, relieving Haizhi Island's urgent crisis.

Even if the people who provide aid may have ulterior motives and are not good people, as long as the Mora and food they send are of good quality, that's fine.

Thanks to this aid, the soldiers on the front lines were finally able to have a decent meal.

Xin Hai will negotiate with the logistics troops to see if they can change the food for the soldiers at the front.

However, resources on Haiqi Island are still limited, so we must be patient for now until victory is achieved.

Paimon asked, "When will the Eyehunting Order end?"

The Inatsumi people are also very eager to know the answer to this question. Currently, the problems troubling Inatsumi are undoubtedly the 'Isolation Law' and the 'Eye Hunting Law'.

The problems brought about by the Eye Hunt Order were all written down truthfully in the book by Lin Qiu, and all the Inazuma people could see them.

[Xin Hai: "The issuance of the Eye Hunting Order was strange to begin with. Both the Heavenly Commander and the General's attitudes were very subtle."]

[“The Heavenly Territory Envoy has suddenly become extremely enthusiastic about the Eye Hunt Order, while the General seems to be turning a blind eye to the war brought about by the Eye Hunt Order…”]

The Heavenly Leader's advocacy of the Eyehunting Order was for the purpose of better cooperating with the Fools and reaping benefits.

The general genuinely didn't know about the war; he wasn't simply ignoring it.

If Shadow knew, he probably would have come to Haiqi Island with a sword by now. War is what the God of Fire pursues, not the God of Thunder.

Throughout history, Inazuma has faced numerous wars, and in each one, she personally went to the battlefield, charging ahead to cut down everything and protect the people of Inazuma.

This is why, even though the current Kage has done something foolish, Inatsume remains loyal to her and still believes in her as Lord Narukami.

Just like Liyue, Inazuma has been protected by their gods for thousands of years, and their gods have walked with them for so long.

In this eternal kingdom, perhaps the only two things that remain unchanged are the Inatsumi people's belief in the Thunder God and their desire to protect their people.

However, the Inazuma people who were reading at this time were unaware of the secret the general was being kept from them.

So they were very anxious, scratching their heads, wanting to know why the general was turning a blind eye to this.

And why would anyone follow such an outrageous law?

To resolve their doubts, people continued reading.

In the story, the Sea gives the Traveler a new title and position—Captain of the Swordfish Second Division.

Swordfish is the designation of a special unit within the resistance. Becoming the captain of this special unit right from the start is quite a high starting point.

Paimon and Teppei, both 'officialdom enthusiasts,' were somewhat surprised, while Ying remained indifferent.

After arriving at the location of the Swordfish Second Division, the travelers quickly dealt with the ronin samurai who were bothering them.

He easily gained the approval of the Swordfish Second Division.

However, the Traveler wasn't particularly interested in the Swordfish Second Division members' recognition; she was more interested in seeing if there were any other opportunities for exciting battles.

[Traveler: Are there any other wandering samurai causing trouble?]

The traveler's point is, if I didn't get my fill of fighting, tell me where else I can find more, and I'll take care of that while I'm at it.

Yoshihisa tells the traveler that there is another group of wandering samurai causing trouble in the eastern part of the island, and this group is larger and stronger.

There were indeed many ronin samurai in the eastern part of the island, so the traveler decided to split up his forces and attack the two enemy camps at the same time.

The Swordfish Second Division is in charge of one area, while the Traveler is in charge of another; she is an army all by herself.

As it turns out, the traveler can indeed be an army on her own. Clearing out a group of ronin samurai only made her feel a little tired, without suffering any injuries.

This made readers marvel at how powerful the traveler was; the entire resistance special forces combined couldn't match her strength alone.
