Chapter 316: The Heron Princess of the Yashiro Commission

In order to set things right and restore the reputation of the Kanjou Commission.

And for the sake of her own face, as well as the request to deliver the letter.

Hiiragi Chisato would definitely impose a very severe punishment on the culprit.

At that time, involving her daughter, Hiiragi Shinsuke probably wouldn't express any opinion on this.

It was just an official, cannon fodder; there were plenty of people who wanted to be the running dogs of the Kanjou Commission.

If he was sacrificed, he was sacrificed.

Lumine considered the series of things clearly; conversely, if she handed the evidence to Kurisu.

With that old good man's weak personality, he would definitely seek reconciliation with Kujou Kamaji, and then what happened would be left unsettled.

Kujou Kamaji, who hadn't suffered a loss, would go home and get angrier the more he thought about it, becoming even more intense, and maybe next time he would do it more hiddenly and more ruthlessly "993".

That would be when the real suffering arrived.

So Lumine was more willing to solve Thoma's commission in her own way.

She thought so, and she did so.

Taking advantage of Kujou Kamaji staying at the commission's recuperation place, after visiting, she sneaked to the other party's house.

Because of the previous tracking, the address was very clear.

Logically, Lumine obtained the evidence of collusion under the Raiden Shogun statue.

The only thing that made her doubt was why this Shogun statue looked a bit familiar.

Unfortunately, because the craftsman's own production ability was limited, the face was a bit blurry and couldn't be seen clearly.

To avoid staying too long and being exposed, Lumine had to leave immediately, and in the following days, found an opportunity to visit the Kanjou Commission and handed it to Hiiragi Chisato.

Just as she thought, the young lady was very surprised after learning about it and seriously stated that she would definitely investigate to the end and return all the over-collected tax rates to the merchants.

With this, the matter came to an end.

Afterwards, she went to the International Trade Association, notified Kurisu that the matter was completed, and found Thoma again.

Learning that Lumine had easily solved the problem he proposed, Thoma was very surprised; he had thought the other party would ask him for more intelligence, never expecting it to be completed.

"Sure enough, you are the wind of change that the young lady said you could bring."

Lumine, who noticed Thoma's slip of the tongue, asked suspiciously: "Young lady?"

"Ahahaha, sorry, it's time to reintroduce myself." Thoma smiled embarrassedly: "I belong to the Yashiro Commission of Narukami Island, and I am a close servant of the 【Heron Princess】."

Yashiro Commission?!

Lumine remembered this was one of the three commissions, a family line in charge of sacrificial activities and humanities and arts.

"Who is the Heron Princess? She seems very famous." Paimon asked in a low voice.

During these days, they would occasionally hear the people of Ritou talk about this name, but they didn't know much about this princess.

"That's for sure, the young lady of the Kamisato clan is dignified, proper, and kind-hearted, deeply loved by the people of Inazuma, and her reputation even overshadows the current head of the Kamisato clan, that is, her brother—Kamisato Ayato."

"The young lady even treats servants like me as equal friends. After you meet, perhaps you will understand her unique personality charm."

Lumine found that when Thoma talked about this princess, his eyes were full of reverence and respect, perhaps also carrying a trace of admiration.

However, she found a flaw in his words.

"In other words, you approaching us was also at the meaning of that young lady of the Kamisato clan."

Thoma scratched his head, embarrassed: "I didn't want to deceive you either. The young lady has indeed been looking forward to it since you came to Inazuma, looking forward to you having the ability to change the situation as rumored."

"And now, you have proven yourself, although you used a method I don't know, but the facts can't be wrong. I think even if it's the Vision Hunt Decree, if you help, perhaps..."

The words he said to himself were interrupted by Lumine.

"Sorry, we didn't agree to help."

She was happy to help others, but it was also very confusing to be asked suddenly without knowing anything.

Stunned by Lumine's decisiveness and firmness, Thoma might have felt it was indeed a bit sudden, but he didn't want to give up and continued to negotiate.

"If you are willing, my young lady would also be willing to introduce you to the Shogun."

"So before, it was just testing whether I had the ability to complete the corresponding promise?"

"Ahahaha, this..."

Thoma was a bit embarrassed, which was considered a default...

After all, such an important matter, concerning reversing the will of the supreme ruler, could not be too cautious.

Otherwise, if something went wrong, it would affect an entire family, and even those who followed the Kamisato clan.

"I understand, go back and tell your young lady, I don't have the idea of agreeing for the time being. As a reward for handling the landing procedures, I have already solved the matter of the International Trade Association, so we are even."

Thoma: "..."

Lumine wasn't angry or felt used, but she also had to consider the level of the matter involved; this was going against the supreme ruler of a country, a god.

In Mondstadt and Liyue, she was also a companion acting with the Anemo Archon and Geo Archon.

Now that her identity had changed, standing on the opposite side of the gods, whether it was worth it needed a question mark.

After all, she was a passerby, just needing to see the Raiden Shogun once and ask some questions, so she didn't need to take such a big risk.

Mainly on the other side, she still had Luo Li as a retreat.

Without the Yashiro Commission, there were still people to bridge the gap.

"Is that so? If you change your mind later, please take this invitation to Narukami Island and come to the Komore Teahouse to find me."

Thoma was helpless; he had thought that both sides would get what they needed, not to mention that according to intelligence, this traveler should be that kind of warm-hearted 5.5 person. Did the intelligence go wrong?

Regardless, he also had to complete his mission and report to the young lady.

Glancing at the invitation, Lumine finally accepted it.

Thoma breathed a sigh of relief; being willing to accept it meant there was still room for maneuver.

"Then my task to Ritou is almost complete, it's time to go back, I wish you a smooth journey."

Saying that, he intended to leave, but was stopped by Lumine.

"Wait, about Harrison and the others, I have already learned their whereabouts from Kurisu, can you be responsible for sending them to the resistance?"

Thoma smiled: "Them, I helped send them away this morning."

"..."

Oh, then it's fine. ===== CHAPTER 318 =====
