Chapter 308

The people nearby burst into laughter.

Only someone like Yae Miko, that trashy fox, could pull off such a prank on others.

Su Han shook his head upon hearing this and said, "You... don't prank Gorou next time. If that jellyfish finds out, she'll probably come running here crying again..."

"Tch... so what if she comes? What can she do to me? Besides, they should be thanking me today. With the start of this festival, Narukami Island is probably making a fortune..."

"Tch... so she's here, and what of it? What can she do to me... Besides, today they should actually be thanking me. With the start of this festival, Watatsumi Island is probably making a fortune..."

The train had deliberately passed by their island.

It was tourism again.

And selling local specialties again.

It would be hard not to make money.

Kujou Sara couldn't help but laugh: "Just from selling those desserts, we're already rich... I just received notice that as of half an hour ago,"

"we've sold materials worth eight million Mora!"

"And this is only just the beginning."

"Yashiro Island, Ganto Village,"

"are all holding events. I'm afraid the most lively time will be two days from now..."

"I think so too. But... shouldn't you, Miko, be watching over the shrine? Many people will be praying today, right..."

Hearing Ningguang's question,

Yae Miko smiled: "There's Inoue Hime... and Kanjou Nana. As for me... I'll come back to host it on the night of the fireworks festival!"

If she stayed at the shrine for seven consecutive days,

she feared she would die of boredom.

So, if one could slack off... it was best to slack off a little longer.

Gradually, time arrived at night.

Su Han turned to Shenhe, Ganyu, Jean, and others, saying: "Let's go... let's take this opportunity to tour Inazuma. Tonight is extra beautiful..."

They exchanged glances and said in unison: "We'll just play together..."

Saying this, they laughed and departed one by one.

Then Su Han realized something.

Yes.

Actually, everyone has been together for a long time.

For such a grand festival,

why not invite that Raiden Shogun to join?

Thinking of this, Su Han flew toward the Tenshukaku.

Today's Inazuma was adorned with flowers everywhere,

appearing exceptionally beautiful.

Streetlamps crafted in Liyue had also been installed.

One could say such scenery

is rarely seen on ordinary days.

At this moment, inside the Tenshukaku,

the Raiden Shogun looked out the window at the lights outside, feeling a longing yet having no desire to go out.

The Raiden Shogun gazed at the lights outside through the window; though her heart yearned for them, she had no desire to go out.

there was a natural barrier between herself and those common people.

If she went there, people would be extremely respectful,

and she wouldn't experience any fun in playing around.

It was better to stay here

and quietly guard Inazuma.

But just as her thought was settled, a figure appeared before her.

"Come... wife, I'll take you for a stroll through the streets..."

Facing Su Han's invitation,

the Raiden Shogun did not hesitate; she directly extended her small hand.

The Raiden Shogun did not hesitate; she directly extended her small hand.

Su Han held the Raiden Shogun as he slowly descended from the sky.

Facing the puzzled expression of the beauty in his arms,

he smiled and explained, "We should feel the atmosphere of the festival rather than heading straight somewhere... Come see Inazuma as it is now; you haven't been out for a long time."

"Alright..."

Su Han did not notice.

The eyes of the beauty in his arms shifted rapidly.

The original coldness

was suddenly crossed by a flash of cunning.

However, when they landed,

she returned to her natural state.

Hand in hand, the two walked along the road covered in cherry blossoms.

Under the bright lights,

the enthusiasm of merchants and tourists infected this Thunder God.

She had not expected

that merely a celebration

could make people so happy.

"Hawthorn ice cream..."

"Matcha-flavored cake..."

Calls of vendors kept coming.

Su Han led Ei to a stall and laughed, "Give me one with blueberry flavor..."

"Yes, customer... Ah? You are... Pope!"

The shopkeeper here

was a merchant on good terms with Jean.

As the first to respond and come to Inazuma, he naturally received some benefits.

And this location

was the best possible one.

Seeing Su Han appear, the other party was clearly startled.

Meanwhile, people nearby all turned to look at once.

When they discovered both Su Han and the General were present,

these people began to exclaim in shock.

Even the commoners of Inazuma put down their work and wanted to kneel on the ground to pay respects, but... an invisible wave of pressure prevented them from kneeling.

The crowd looked up in confusion.

There, Su Han spoke to them: "Today is a joyous day, also a day celebrating Inazuma's rebirth... No formalities, no General, just enjoy the happiness of the festival to your heart's content."

People stood frozen in place.

Yet, when they noticed this great man holding hands with the General,

they all understood everything.

Thus, the people spontaneously dispersed.

Though his heart was filled with boundless excitement,

he dared not approach to disturb them.

Su Han handed the blueberry ice cream he had just made to the beauty beside him.

She took a gentle taste.

Surprise shone in her eyes.

"What is this... cold and refreshing, something I've never tasted before..."

"It's called ice cream, a summer treat; if you like it, that's enough. Let's move on to the next stop..."

"Mm."

The two continued forward.

At every stop they made, countless people gasped in amazement.

In the past, when a General traveled,

they were always accompanied by countless guards.

There were also numerous attendants, and of course... their hands would naturally be full of weapons.

Yet now, seeing such an easygoing demeanor,

was something everyone was witnessing for the first time.

Fearing she might dislike being gawked at, Su Han ordered Kamisato Ayaka to notify the merchants to simply provide normal service.

If anyone acted overly startled or loud,

they would not be allowed to come tomorrow.

Under such a threat,

the merchants gradually returned to normal behavior.

Meanwhile, Su Han and Raiden Ei enjoyed a rare moment of warmth together.

All the desserts along the way

were things Raiden Ei had never eaten before.

For her, a lover of sweets,

this place was simply paradise.

Most importantly, she thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with Su Han.

It was a feeling of equality.

A sense of warmth.

The two emerged from Inazuma City and slowly made their way to the beach, where food stalls billowed with smoke and fire.

Raiden Ei asked, "Is this barbecue? Today isn't a festival... why are these here?"

"If they only ate sweets, people would get tired of them long ago... These are teppanyaki! Inazuma is a coastal nation with abundant seafood, whereas for other countries,

seafood is actually quite luxurious.

Dishes like grilled fish... and teppanyaki... developing these will attract more customers."

Su Han walked over and ordered a portion of teppanyaki.

The spicy sauce

paired perfectly with the fresh squid.

The flavor was simply exquisite.

Raiden Ei fell in love with this taste immediately.

It was completely different from the refined foods she usually ate.

After finishing, Raiden Ei even asked for another serving.

Naturally, Su Han fulfilled her wish.

The sea breeze blew gently.

The two walked along the sandy beach, moving forward.

Slowly, they arrived at a stall.

There, a familiar figure was busy working.

Moreover, there were many people nearby.

It seemed business was exceptionally good.

"Venti... why are you running a stall?"

Su Han was shocked.

The Anemo Archon himself,

was setting up a stall just like a merchant.

It truly shattered his worldview.

Raiden Ei also hadn't expected to meet an old friend here.

The two gods exchanged glances.

Both were surprised.

Raiden Ei hadn't thought the Anemo Archon would come to her land to act as a merchant.

Nor had Barbatos expected

the Electro Archon to be strolling hand-in-hand with someone.

However, Barbatos was still Barbatos; he reacted quickly.

"It's like this... there were too many fun things today, and my combined Mora wasn't enough, so... seeing that Inazuma allows loans to set up stalls, I decided to give it a try."

I never expected the fruit juice beer and barbecue I made to be so popular.

I earned three thousand Mora in just one hour!"

Venti said with a beaming smile.

He showed not a shred of divine dignity.

Raiden Ei frowned slightly.

Seeing his lazy demeanor, she felt somewhat displeased.

But... realizing she was not yet pretending to be the Raiden Shogun, she held her tongue.

She simply picked up a skewer of grilled meat.

Leaving behind some Mora, she followed Su Han forward.

The people around them did not reject this act of cutting in line.

Instead, even more gathered.

After all, this was a place endorsed by Lord Raiden.

Seeing the customers surge, Venti hurriedly laughed, "Everyone, don't rush... we have enough for everyone!!!"

Actually, occasionally playing the part of a merchant...

he felt was quite enjoyable.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Su Han led Raiden to a small island.

This area was not yet open.

It would only become bustling in a few days.

However, the two of them could experience it early.

They arrived at the edge of the small island.

The two found a spot and sat down.

They snuggled together.

The food they were carrying was set aside.

"How does tonight feel?"

"Very happy... and joyful... Although people still look at me with fear, such an Inazuma is far better than the world I imagined."

When she ruled herself...

Inazuma was lifeless.

The common people dared not speak.

There were hardly any pedestrians on the streets.

It was like a desolate graveyard.
