The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Now that you've finished eating, Ying, let's go for a walk together. I can explain why I came to see you on the way."

Seeing that Ying's mind was wandering off somewhere, Ayaka Kamisato suggested that they go for a walk.

"This one……"

"It's just me." Seeing Ying's hesitation, Ayaka Kamisato held up one finger and made a "one" gesture.

"Alright then!" Ying glanced at Ayaka Kamisato, a young girl who shouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

No matter how powerful someone is, can they be more powerful than me? I'm not bragging, but at the "girl" stage, I am the strongest.

Of course, those old monsters who deliberately pretend to be young are an exception.

"That's great! This must be your first time visiting Inazuma Castle, right? Let me show you around!" Ayaka Kamisato was delighted to see Hikari nod.

Without saying a word, she immediately got up and led Ying out of Wuyou Pavilion.

"Let's go, Paimon!" Seeing this, Ying had no choice but to follow her out. She also grabbed Paimon by the back of her collar and took her with her.

……

The festival was even more lively at night. After playing in the brightly lit streets for a while, Ayaka Kamisato led Hotaru into the dark alley.

Looking at the increasingly remote scenery around her, Ying couldn't help but feel a little sweat on her hands.

In the dead of night, in the desolate wilderness, two girls... no, it should be two girls plus a mascot. Anyway, by any measure, it doesn't seem like a good development.

"Where...where am I?" Paimon looked at the few houses nearby with their doors and windows closed, and suddenly felt a little scared.

There was no light in these houses, and it was unknown whether the owners were fast asleep or had been out playing and had not yet returned.

Feeling Paimon trembling and clinging to her neck, Ying stopped in her tracks.

"I think this place is fine! If... if there's anything you need to say, let's talk here!"

As Ying reflected on her experiences today, the more she thought about it, the more unusual it seemed. She suddenly remembered the novels she used to read in her study.

I hope I don't run into him...

Seeing that Ayaka Kamisato had stopped in front of her, Ying silently swallowed. She had made up her mind that no matter what request Ayaka Kamisato made next, she would resolutely refuse it.

We can't let her have even the slightest thought of it!

"Huh? Here?" Ayaka Kamisato turned around. She first looked around at her surroundings, then activated her elemental vision to make sure no one was around before nodding slightly.

"Okay, actually I only have one goal..."

"What is..."

Ying trapped Paimon under her armpit, and as soon as the situation changed, she ran away!

"Please lend me your power!"

"Sorry, I refuse!"

Both Ying, who reached out to refuse, and Ayaka Kamisato, who bowed, froze for a moment. Only Paimon, nestled in Ying's armpit, was still blinking, unaware of what had happened.

"Huh? What did you just say?" Ying turned her head to face the camera, her face practically screaming "confused".

"Is that so? Well, it's true, it was my oversight to make such a rude request on our first meeting." Ayaka Kamisato raised her head, but her disappointment was hard to hide.

"No! I asked you what you just said?" Ying quickly waved her hand and released Paimon from under her arm.

Since it's not what I thought, there's still room for discussion.

"Let Ying lend me your power, what's wrong?" Ayaka Kamisato repeated, puzzled.

Her voice must have been loud enough, so why couldn't Ying hear it?

"Can I ask what you're going to use it for?" Ying listened carefully to Ayaka Kamisato's words and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not about trying to pull her into your QQ space, it's pretty easy to talk about.

"Hotaru, you've come all the way from the outlying island, you must have seen a lot of chaos in Inazuma, right?" Ayaka Kamisato suppressed all other expressions on her face, leaving only solemnity.

Seeing this, Ying suppressed her wild thoughts and nodded a few times to Ayaka Kamisato.

There have indeed been quite a few chaotic things happening at Inazuma.

"The root of all this is the General's Eye Hunt Order. I've been waiting for the situation to change..."

"And now, there is someone with the power to change the course of events standing before me..."

After finishing speaking, Ayaka Kamisato stretched out her palm to Hotaru with a hopeful expression.

"I understand now, you want me to rebel with you?!" Ying's eyes widened immediately. Asking her to do something so exciting right off the bat was practically the same as entering a QQ space!

So, you still don't want to?

"No normal person would agree to this."

For a moment, the two fell silent again.

Sneaky grabbed Paimon's scarf and prepared to say goodbye to Ayaka Kamisato. Out of consideration for Ayaka's meal, Sneaky would keep the secret to herself, but that was all she would do.

Watching Ying's retreating figure, Ayaka Kamisato reached out her hand, about to say something, but was interrupted by another voice.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"You've already rebelled, yet you're still so unenthusiastic. What can you possibly be enthusiastic about?!"

"Hey you over there, still looking around! Do you want to hang your head in the tree and get a better look?"

……

The words from afar reached Ying's ears, making her shudder.

That voice... it sounds so familiar!

Chapter 517 The Rebellion is Underway

2024-02-29

"Hurry up!"

A faint moonlight, armored soldiers moving swiftly and silently, houses with their doors tightly shut...

No matter how you look at it, it's a desolate and bleak scene.

But in this scene, two stunned girls appeared, which seemed quite out of place.

"Damn it! What kind of job is Ayato Kamisato doing? Didn't he say he'd guarantee there was no one here?"

Yu Jin could see two figures in the distance from a great distance, with a shadow floating above the head of one of them.

Judging from the shape of the figure, that shadow might just be a festival balloon or lantern.

"Sorry, the situation is urgent, please get some rest first!" Yu Jin immediately took out a small bow and nocked two hypnotic arrows that emitted a faint purple mist.

Just as Yu Jin was about to shoot the two men in the buttocks with an arrow, he heard a joyful shout from afar.

"senior?!"

"ember?!"

As the figures in the distance gradually became clearer, Ember realized that the floating shadows were not balloons, but Paimon.

As for the two figures, one was Ying, and the other was Ayaka Kamisato, whom she had met once before.

"Why are you two here instead of playing at the festival?" Yu Jin put away the little arrow that was sticking up his butt when he saw that it was someone he knew.

"So, what are you doing here, senior?"

Ying looked at the group of fully armed men behind Yu Jin, and her voice gradually faded.

Did she stumble upon something terrible?

Ayaka Kamisato, however, had even more on her mind. Recalling her brother and Thomas, who had disappeared a few days ago, and recalling what Ember had said earlier, she suddenly realized what was going on.

"Brother's plan is about to be implemented!" Ayaka Kamisato's face was filled with excitement and anticipation.

Her desire for Inazuma to change is second to none!

"Why do you know so much? Get out of here!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

Ember waved his hands frantically, saying he wanted to drive away Ying and Ayaka Kamisato.

"Senior, are you planning a rebellion?" Ying suddenly asked, startling Yu Jin.

"Who told you that? I'm here to serve the emperor and execute the treacherous minister!" Yu Jin immediately retorted.

"Count me in! I'm pretty strong, I can lead the charge!"

Ying's words shocked Ayaka Kamisato. She had invited Ying to dinner and acted as her tour guide, all to get Ying to assist with her plan.

Before she could even exchange two words, Ying was about to leave, but when it came to Yu Jin, she wanted to join what was clearly a rebellion without asking any questions. Is there really such a big difference between people?

Yu Jin glanced down at Ying, whose body was crackling with lightning, and knew that her strength had recovered somewhat.

"Go away!"

"what--"

But Yu Jin still grabbed Ying by the back of her collar and threw her away. It's best not to let irrelevant people get involved in these kinds of things.

"What's up with you two? Should I do it or will you do it yourselves?" Yu Jin turned to look at the dazed Paimon and Ayaka Kamisato, rubbing his hands together as he asked.

"Goodbye, I'm going to find Ying!" Paimon shook his head quickly and disappeared in a flash.

"May you all have great success in your military endeavors!" After bowing, Ayaka Kamisato quickly left.

Seeing that the unrelated people had left, Yu Jin didn't linger for a moment and quickly caught up with the main group.

……

The castle tower, the residence of General Raiden, is an absolutely solemn and dignified place.

Of course, the castle tower is very large, and not all places are solemn—for example, the Imperial Bath Magistrate is like that.

In fact, only the main hall where General Lei Dian was located was a strictly forbidden area.

"Lord Chuanjin has arrived, this way please!"

"General Yuan Jie's spirit remains as strong as ever!"
