Chapter 195

Saying this, he walked up to them.

Ayaka, who had been immersed in the battle, only then noticed Lumine and Paimon, realized what was happening, and hurriedly followed.

Arriving in front of Thoma and Lumine, Kamisato Ayato greeted them: "I presume this is the Traveler. Hello, I am the head of the Kamisato clan of the Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Ayato. Thank you for taking care of my sister."

Staring at the elegant young man who introduced himself right away, Paimon was very satisfied.

Look, we really are big shots; even the head of the Yashiro Commission is so respectful.

Lumine shook her head, indicating it was nothing.

"We were just taking what we needed and helping each other."

"Hehe, perhaps that is so."

Kamisato Ayato's expression was peaceful, his tone light, giving a sense of approachability.

This reminded Lumine of a certain riddle-loving person.

But compared to the young man in front of her.

That person possessed a demonic charm that made people unable to resist developing a good impression, just like some kind of curse.

Very strange.

It's no wonder there were countless women around him.

"Ah, sorry, I didn't see you two just now."

A swordsmanship training outfit inexplicably added a bit of heroism to Kamisato Ayaka, and she apologized embarrassedly.

Paimon waved her hand: "It's because we came too suddenly, it has nothing to do with you."

"Is that so." Ayaka, relieved, looked at Lumine again and said: "I have already heard about you helping those few friends; you two have really worked hard."

"No, actually we didn't really help much."

Even with Paimon's thick skin, she couldn't say words that went against her heart.

The two at most understood the ins and outs of the matter, helping them resolve some of their knots, but as long as the Visions weren't taken back, they would remain as they were.

Those lost pains would always accompany the three.

Seeing their pain, Lumine was somewhat moved by Kamisato Ayaka's previous words.

In her view, the three were almost like walking corpses; it turned out there were things in the world more painful than death.

Seeing something from the Traveler's expression, Ayaka's voice lowered slightly: "In the eyes of the Shogun, who is a god, they are just insignificant individuals, like a drop in the ocean in the face of eternity. Thunder, sorrow, wind, rain—their arrival never considers the feelings of mortals."

"If it were you, you should be able to understand my feelings, right? Since that's the case, I wonder if you could consider it again?"

Lumine: "..."

Honestly, she was almost moved and was somewhat hesitant at this moment.

Wanting to reverse the will of a god was no different from rebellion.

Facing Ayaka's expectant and nervous gaze, the kind-hearted Lumine finally agreed.

"I can help you fight against the Vision Hunt Decree, but only to that extent, and you must also do what you promised me."

Ayaka was pleasantly surprised and immediately agreed: "Of course, thank you very much for your help."

Feeling like she had fallen into a trap again, Lumine was a bit depressed; if that guy Luo Li found out, he would definitely mock her.

But she was saving the people of Inazuma, she encouraged herself, and Lumine suddenly felt that she had become noble.

Kamisato Ayato had long been moved by his sister, so he remained silent on the side during this time.

It wasn't until the two finished talking that he smiled and said: "This isn't a place to talk; please come to my study, and I'll have my people make some specialty dishes."

Now that they were on the same boat, Lumine had no objections.

A group of people then entered the Yashiro Commission and arrived at Ayato's private study.

"If we are here, we don't have to worry about walls having ears."

Letting Thoma pour tea for them, Ayato took the initiative: "I still have official business, so you two can talk in detail with my sister."

Leaving these words, Kamisato Ayato left.

Watching the head of the Kamisato clan leave, after waiting for a while, Lumine asked: "Since you've decided to fight against the Vision Hunt Decree, have you thought of a way?"

"Honestly... no."

"???"

Ayaka's frankness left Lumine full of question marks.

No, you don't even have a way to fight it and you're asking me to join?

Isn't this setting people up!

Ayaka was a bit embarrassed, lowered her head, and whispered: "I can't help it; after all, fighting against the Vision Hunt Decree is equivalent to fighting against a god. Just having the resolve to do so is already very difficult."

"Then what should we do?"

Paimon was dumbfounded, while Lumine thought subtly that this White Heron Princess wouldn't be expecting her to come up with a solution, would she?

"So far, we can only try to reduce the loss of Visions, such as hiding Vision holders or making fake Visions."

Visions can be forged too?

This operation is comparable to that guy Venti in Mondstadt.

Thinking of Barbatos's classic operations, Lumine couldn't help but sigh that his philosophy was quite advanced.

"Originally, the craftsman in Hanamizaka could create fake Visions that were indistinguishable to the naked eye, but Master Masakatsu, who had been helping us forge them, was arrested by the Tenryou Commission a few days ago. Although I had long expected the moment of exposure, Master Masakatsu must not be abandoned."

Kamisato Ayaka's gaze was firm, but also carried a trace of trouble: "If we break into the prison, given my and Thoma's status in the Yashiro Commission, once exposed, it will implicate the entire Kamisato clan, and I'm afraid there will be no protection for future actions, so..."

Noticing the cute young girl's gaze, Lumine said as if she had a flash of inspiration: "So leave it to me?"

Opening her folding fan to cover the corner of her mouth as she suppressed a laugh, Ayaka shook her head slowly: "Naturally, I cannot leave it to you alone. There is someone at Naganohara in Hanamizaka who can help you; please go and contact them..."

Lumine breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, there was a helper. If she had to rush in alone, she really wouldn't know what to do.

After confirming that this matter could be done, she turned to ask about the topic she was most concerned about.

"Then when will I be able to see the Raiden Shogun?"

Since she agreed to introduce her, she must provide an opportunity to see her.

Kamisato Ayaka pursed her lips and smiled beautifully: "Usually, the Shogun only stays in the Tenshukaku and does not go out easily. Even I only have the honor of meeting her during the divine festivals."

"Then the thing you promised..."

"Don't worry, it won't be long before the Mikage Furnace Festival begins. At that time, I can let you mix into the Kamisato clan's team to meet the Shogun."

That's more like it. Although Lumine was kind-hearted, she didn't want to be taken advantage of for free.

After discussing the conditions with Ayaka, fearing that things might change if they waited too long, she planned to go to Hanamizaka to meet that contact person immediately.

From the White Heron Princess, she learned that the other party was the owner of the Naganohara shop, named Yoimiya.

"Then, Master Masakatsu is left to you. I'm very sorry that I can't do anything."

Although she planned everything behind the scenes, Ayaka felt that she had no contribution herself, just moving her mouth, while the danger was all borne by others.

This made her very guilty.

Fortunately, Lumine didn't understand anything, otherwise she would have praised her for activating the correct password.

"No, just your planning behind the scenes plays a big role."

After comforting the dejected White Heron Princess, Lumine decisively prepared to set off with Paimon.

Once this was over, she could wait for the Mikage Furnace Festival to arrive, and as for what to do about the Vision Hunt Decree after seeing the Raiden Shogun.

We'll deal with later things later!

At worst, she would ask Luo Li for help. Since that guy gave her the jade pendant and said this thing would be useful, it meant he definitely wouldn't sit idly by.

Negotiating conditions while taking the opportunity, Lumine was already used to it!
