Chapter 181: Mitsuyo, who is like an angel! Leaving Ritou!
Saying goodbye to Thoma.
Lumine and Paimon always felt they had forgotten something.
"Speaking of which, Thoma is really half-liked and half-hated."
Paimon always liked to judge a person from subjective feelings.
Mainly, she always had the feeling of being deceived, and she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
On the contrary, Lumine, as the main person, was very calm; not only was she not angry, but she could also understand.
There is no free lunch in the world; to get something, one must pay a price.
Luo Li had already told her this.
Especially when the goal was very difficult, the price would increase incrementally.
"Don't talk about this; we have already completed the commission with him, this is a normal delivery."
"Alright, then what are we going to do now?"
With the work done, Paimon was actually a bit lost for a moment.
"Go back and find Mr. Luo Li."
"Will it disturb the two of them?"
After contact, Paimon always felt there was an ambiguous and intimate atmosphere between Luo Li and that student, just like with Sister Makoto back then.
21 "Should... not, right?!"
Lumine was no longer surprised by Luo Li’s popularity with women; even the main person who should be angry, Sister Makoto, didn't care, so what qualifications did she have to criticize?
Having made up her mind, the two spent some time finding Luo Li, who was tired from shopping with Mitsuyo and was tasting food at a snack stall.
"Oh, you two are done with your business?" Seeing the two looking relaxed, Luo Li said in surprise.
While the tool duo was running around these days, he was following the cold beauty disciple who offered her all to get closer, and by the way, developing more ways to play.
As for whether the master-apprentice romance would give him a psychological burden, Luo Li said it was absolutely no problem.
For the first few hundred years after arriving in Teyvat, he had already satisfied his desires enough.
Food and sex are human nature; he had tried them one by one, so he had tried various absurd big scenes and relationships.
Precisely because of this, he controlled his own desires very easily, and subsequently lived a life that could be called saintly.
Until Inazuma, he almost only had Guizhong as a partner.
"Hmm, I..."
Before Lumine could answer, Paimon couldn't wait to start complaining.
"You don't know, we were just played by Thoma!"
After Luo Li thanked Miss Ryoko, the snack stall owner, for the few dishes she had enthusiastically offered, he said slowly: "Tell me the ins and outs."
So Paimon replaced Lumine in stating Thoma’s identity and what he wanted the two to do.
It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that she finished telling the whole story in detail.
Who knew that Luo Li, hearing the news, wasn't surprised at all, his face as usual.
"Wait, don't tell me you already figured out his identity?"
"Of course."
"I knew it, so it was just the two of us kept in the dark!" Paimon stomped her feet in anger, complaining to Lumine.
"It’s not like it’s the first day you’ve known him."
Lumine seemed quite calm, sitting down at the table at Luo Li’s invitation.
She hadn't eaten anything after running around all day; just as the food came up, she could fill her stomach.
She hadn't tried Inazuma’s specialty cuisine yet, so she could just taste it.
Picking up a grilled fish and smelling the alluring fragrance, Lumine took a light bite, and then her eyes lit up.
Although it was a small stall, the taste was unexpectedly good, comparable to that grilled fish shop in Chihu Rock in Liyue Harbor.
"Hey, wait, I want some too!"
Paimon couldn't care about complaining and hurriedly followed to grab food.
While they were enjoying a whole fish, Luo Li poured himself a cup of Sakura Wine he hadn't tasted for a long time. Only after the familiar taste of the wine permeated his tongue did he slowly speak.
"Speaking of which, did you forget one thing?"
Paimon, gnawing on the grilled fish, said vaguely: "What?"
"If you want to go to the Komore Teahouse to find him, how are you going to leave Ritou and go to Narukami Island?"
Lumine: "..."
Paimon: "..."
It seems so, the two looked at each other in silence for a long time.
No wonder they both felt something was wrong when they accepted the invitation; they hadn't expected the problem to be here.
Without a travel permit, outsiders were not allowed to leave Ritou, let alone go to Narukami Island.
"That guy, he actually had another layer of testing!"
Paimon couldn't even care about eating the grilled fish and started counting Thoma’s faults.
Lumine felt it was okay; since it was so troublesome, it meant the difficulty of meeting the Raiden Shogun was also very difficult.
Considering for a long time, she probed: "Can Mr. Luo Li introduce us to the Raiden Shogun?"
Thoma’s side was troublesome, so it was better to try Luo Li, whom they had known for a long time; what if there was a surprise?
"No, I suggest you’d better follow Thoma’s requirements."
Luo Li refused without hesitation; he wanted to watch Ei’s actions for a while, and stay invisible for a bit.
And if he appeared now, Lumine’s so-called trial would be completely disrupted. Luo Li had always been curious about how far this twin from another world could go.
If not necessary, he didn't want to significantly interfere with her fate.
And for events like the one on Ritou, as long as the result achieved was the same, the process didn't matter much.
"Not can't, but shouldn't?"
Lumine was thoughtful and made up her mind, turning to ask: "Then can you help us leave Ritou?"
"Naturally, no problem. Mitsuyo can help you."
Mitsuyo had been listening to the three’s exchange with interest, not making a sound to disturb them until now, when the topic mentioned her, she reacted.
As the two’s nervous gazes were cast over, the cold Tengu simply affirmed it.
"Just leaving Ritou is not a trouble at all; you can rest assured."
Although she hadn't appeared in the vision of Inazuma’s upper echelons for a long time, the name of the Great Tengu had always circulated in this maritime land where yokai were once prosperous.
Seeing the two’s nervous expressions without any relaxation, Mitsuyo couldn't help but laugh: "Don't look at me like that; you don't need to agree to do anything for me."
Actually... no need to do anything!
Hearing this, Lumine and Paimon couldn't help but widen their eyes. Is this Tengu big sister an angel?!
It’s hard to imagine there’s a free lunch in the world!
Although she knew it wasn't a big problem, Luo Li still reminded: "The people of the Kanjou Commission will stop them from leaving."
"Why?"
Paimon asked subconsciously.
"Naturally, because they are colluding with the Fatui."
"Damn it, so that’s it. No wonder I felt that old guy’s look at us was wrong!"
Paimon felt the number of times she was angry today was about to exceed the past.
Lumine was also surprised; fortunately, her intuition was strong enough. The one she asked to deal with Kujou Kamaji before was Hiiragi Chisato...
