Chapter 176: Lumine's plan! Helpless pig teammates!

Ritou!

Unlike the master-apprentice reunion at the Thousand-Gate Empty Boat, Lumine and Paimon were still running around.

"Hey, where do you think Harrison ran off to? Why can't we find him at his house?"

After learning from intimidating Werner in the afternoon that the culprit was Kujou Kamaji, Lumine and Paimon, considering priority, decided to find the impulsive and irritable Harrison first to dissuade him from doing anything stupid.

After all, Kujou Kamaji had been causing trouble for so long, a little more time wouldn't matter.

Paimon suggested: "How about we split up?"

"If we split up, how would you notify me if you found him?"

Paimon was stumped. Of course, the reason Lumine didn't want to split up was that she was worried Paimon would get lost halfway.

There were precedents for similar events.

"Alright, then let's just wait at his door."

Paimon finally came up with a relatively reliable suggestion; people wouldn't stay away from home forever.

Thus, the tool duo waited from the afternoon until midnight, finally waiting for the main subject to appear.

However, to Lumine’s surprise, besides Harrison, there were seven or eight indignant young men following behind him.

Paimon, who was just about to go out, was pulled back by Lumine.

"What's wrong?" The little one was a bit confused.

"Something's not right. Let's hide first."

The two didn't rush out, but watched as Harrison and his group looked around, and only after confirming no one had discovered them did they sneak into the house.

Even Paimon noticed something strange now.

Recalling what Harrison said during the day, she said in surprise: "Could that guy be planning revenge?"

Once a person is pushed to the brink, they can do anything.

Harrison, who could only barely survive by relying on the help of friends, was by no means an isolated case; there were not a few people who had gone bankrupt like him.

They were all young men exploited to the point of public outrage; as long as someone made a suggestion, these young men, who had already endured to their limits, would surely rise up.

They wouldn't consider the consequences, only acting out of a momentary surge of blood that they couldn't control.

Lumine said nothing, coming to the corner of the house with Paimon to eavesdrop.

Sure enough, Harrison and his friends were plotting revenge against the Kanjou Commission officials who usually exploited them.

The barefoot aren't afraid of those wearing shoes.

The first target was Kujou Kamaji, who was usually the most arrogant and had repeatedly intimidated and bullied them.

Lumine: "..."

Paimon: "..."

Hearing this, the tool duo was speechless; what a coincidence.

Without any intelligence, they had found the right person directly.

"No, we have to stop them!" Paimon was a bit anxious.

This was completely different from intimidating Werner; Kujou Kamaji was an official, and if something went wrong, it would definitely be a big deal.

Lumine told her not to act rashly; even if they went out to interrupt them now, they would find more hidden opportunities to continue their revenge.

They could only find a way to sabotage them later, or tell President Kurisu to let him use reason and emotion to stall Harrison.

Taking this opportunity, Lumine would then get the evidence of Kujou Kamaji colluding with Werner, and everything would become clear.

Whether handing the evidence to the upper echelons of the Kanjou Commission or having a frank talk with Kujou Kamaji, both were good methods.

Regrettably, the idea was good, but all things in the world do not change according to her will.

The next day, Lumine told Kurisu the specific news of Werner and Harrison’s conspiracy and asked him to stall Harrison during this time so she could find evidence of Kujou Kamaji’s collusion.

However, she followed him for a whole day, turning around every place in Ritou, but had no gains.

But that made sense; how could such important evidence of collusion be hidden in a place where it could be easily found?

Frowning, Lumine once again thought of her previous idea.

Use force.

However, unlike Harrison, who used pure violence for revenge, her main goal was to get the criminal evidence.

Of course, judging from the results of the tracking, Kujou Kamaji had a stubborn and tough personality and was not afraid of threats from people without status.

Therefore, even using force would likely not work, so Lumine came up with another idea.

Use her special status in Mondstadt and Liyue to visit the Kanjou Commission, become a guest of the upper echelons of the Commission, and then find a way to trick Kujou Kamaji according to the information provided by Werner.

Although there were some loopholes, it should likely be no problem to deal with a greedy and brainless official under the Kanjou Commission.

Thinking of it, she did it.

A few days later, confirming that Kujou Kamaji would be on duty as a guard for the Commission for the next period, Lumine, having made preparations, formally visited the head of the Hiiragi clan of the Kanjou Commission, Hiiragi Shinsuke.

Obviously, the Traveler’s fame had already crossed the thunderstorms and reached Inazuma.

Except for those at the bottom, almost no one in the upper echelons didn't know her.

Not to mention Hiiragi Shinsuke, who was already colluding with the Fatui.

With a guilty conscience, he didn't refuse to see her, but instead received Lumine and Paimon with quite grand etiquette.

At the entrance of the Kanjou Commission!

Kujou Kamaji, who was on duty outside, saw Lumine deliberately swaying in front of him and secretly recorded her appearance in his heart.

A person valued by Lord Hiiragi Shinsuke was definitely not someone he could offend, so to avoid accidentally offending her one day, he behaved very respectfully.

Having achieved her goal, Lumine was very happy; this was the first time she had purely used her brain to crush others, and she was exceptionally excited, eager to tell Luo Li the ins and outs of her success.

Hiiragi Shinsuke had originally thought the Traveler was here for a travel permit; after all, unless one had a permit, there was no way to leave Ritou.

Already colluding with the Fatui, he thought of using delaying tactics to keep the Traveler here, and even had a draft ready.

As a result, this person came to chat every few days, never mentioning the permit, always boasting and praising the cultural customs of Inazuma; a bunch of nonsense left him completely confused.

The two weren't familiar; what was the use of saying all this?

It made Hiiragi Shinsuke almost think his collusion with the Fatui had been exposed; if he hadn't confirmed that the Traveler knew nothing about it, he would have prepared a backup plan.

However, what was interesting was that over these days, Lumine was not only 100% determined by Kujou Kamaji as someone not to be antagonized.

Even the young lady of the Hiiragi family, Hiiragi Chisato, had become familiar with her, occasionally saying things girls would talk about.

Seeing everything proceeding as expected, Lumine’s confidence in the success of her plan rose exponentially.

However, good plans always encounter pig teammates.

She also ran into such a helpless situation.

Harrison, who had been silent for a long time, finally took action; he and those other bankrupt young men attacked Kujou Kamaji, who was off duty.

The key was that they hadn't succeeded, but were instead wanted...
