I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

"Really?" Muzawa Nagahiro's eyes lit up. "Hehe, I never thought I'd get to take advantage of Lord Ivan."

Ivan smiled and shook his head: "Let's go."

Arriving at the restaurant called Kinan Ryotei across the street, Ivan invited Kizawa Nagahiro to sit down, and then ordered a few dishes that looked pretty good.

"Hello, sir/madam, would you like to pay the bill first or after you finish your meal?"

"Let's settle the bill first."

Ivan reached into his pocket and touched his wallet, then suddenly froze.

Oh no, I think I rushed out the door today and forgot my wallet...

I was just boasting to the blacksmith that money wasn't a problem, but now I'm struggling to pay for my meal.

Ivan touched his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed, and asked Muze Changhui, "Muze, did you bring any money?"

Mu Ze was taken aback for a moment: "Lord Ivan, weren't you the one treating?"

Ivan coughed and said, "Yes, it's my treat, you pay the bill, is there a problem?"

Kizawa's mouth grew into an O shape, and he thought to himself, "Is this even possible?"

"But Lord Ivan, I didn't bring any money with me either."

Both of them were stunned.

After a moment, Mu Ze Changhui whispered, "Sir, why don't we ask if we can get a refund before the landlady finishes cooking?"

Ivan nodded and said, "That's the only way..."

However, at that moment, a very gentle-sounding voice suddenly rang out.

"Boss, please put the bill for these two people on my tab."

Chapter 152 First Encounter with the Young Lady

"Boss, please put the bill for these two people on my tab."

Upon hearing the voice, Ivan turned his head and met a pair of clear eyes as pure as early winter snow.

She was a young girl dressed in a silk outfit popular among young women from wealthy families. Her natural white hair was tied into a long ponytail that reached her waist, making her look very pure and lovely.

Looking at the girl, Ivan blurted out instinctively, "Ayaka Kamisato?"

Yes, the person sitting next to Ivan is none other than the Inazuma NPC that Ivan was extremely familiar with in the original game. She is also a playable character and the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, one of the three Inazuma magistrates, who is actually in charge of the Shabu-magistrate family.

When Shen Lilinghua heard Ivan call out her name, she was taken aback and asked with some doubt, "May I ask if you know me, young master?"

"Forehead."

Ivan touched his nose and then made up a story: "I had the honor of seeing Miss once at a festival. Miss is as radiant as ever."

Hearing Ivan's words, Ayaka's fair cheeks flushed slightly, and she said somewhat shyly, "Young master, you flatter me..."

At this point, Shen Lilinghua suddenly lowered her voice and whispered, "Please don't tell anyone that you saw me, otherwise my brother will scold me again if he finds out."

Ivan nodded, indicating, "I understand, I'm pretty much the same..."

Ivan's words gave Ayaka Kamisato a sudden common ground, and she asked with great interest, "Does the young master also have an elder brother?"

Ivan hesitated for a moment and said, "Not my elder brother."

"That's my older sister?"

"Forehead......"

Ivan touched his nose: "I wouldn't say I'm the older sister."

At this moment, Kizawa Nagaki interjected, "Of course it's not my sister, it's Lord Ivan's love..."

Ivan quickly kicked Nagahiro Kizawa to interrupt him, then laughed and said, "It's my family who loves me, haha."

Ayaka Kamisato nodded and said, "I see."

Kizawa Nagahiro rubbed his shin, which Ivan had kicked, and asked with a puzzled look, "Lord Ivan, why did you kick me?"

Ivan whispered, "Recently, everyone in the city has been talking about the General's consort. With so many people on the street, if you shout out my identity here, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, why would I have told you not to wear the Imperial Guard uniform and to change into civilian clothes?"

"Oh."

Kizawa Nagahiro nodded.

Turning her head, Ayaka Kamisato looked at Ivan and asked, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know how to address you, sir."

"Oh, my surname is Ivan, and my given name is Fan. You can just call me Ivan."

Shen Li Linghua blinked and said, "Is Young Master a foreigner? Judging from your name, you seem to be from Liyue."

Ivan laughed twice, without denying it.

By now, Ryoka Kamisato was fully engaged in conversation and asked, "What does Young Master Ivan do?"

"Let's travel. I'm a traveler, and I'm currently staying in Inazuma."

Ayaka Kamisato's eyes revealed a look of longing: "Then you must have been to many places, young master?"

Ivan nodded and said, "I suppose so. Miss Kamisato seems quite interested in traveling?"

Shen Lilinghua's expression darkened, and she sighed, "Because of family rules, I almost never leave the house except for festivals and ceremonies. Today is the first time I've come out, and I even sneaked out on my own..."

Ivan raised an eyebrow as he listened to Ryouka Kamisato's narration. Her current experiences were quite different from those in the game. However, Ivan's current Inazuma timeline was earlier than that of the Inazuma in the game, so these changes weren't unusual.

At this moment, the proprietress of Munan Restaurant brought out the food for both parties, and they continued chatting while enjoying the meal.

"Mr. Ivan, as a traveler, must have tasted the delicacies of many places, right?"

"Yes."

Ivan smiled. He had not only tasted many delicacies, but he was also a top-notch chef. He wondered how Xiangling and the others were doing now...

After a brief moment of sadness, Ayaka Kamisato suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, there's something I'd like to ask you, Young Master Ivan."

Ivan asked, "May I ask?"

"How long has Young Master Ivan been in Inazuma?"

Ivan thought for a moment and said, "About a month."

Ayaka Kamisato continued, "Does the young master know about the legend about the General's consort that's been circulating all over Inazuma lately?"

Ivan picked up his water glass, about to take a sip, when he heard this and suddenly choked, coughing as he said, "General's consort... well, I've heard of it... why is Miss Kamisato asking this?"

Ayaka Kamisato said, "I heard that the General's consort was brought back from outside by the General, and afterwards the General became infatuated with him and fell in love. The two of them are inseparable every day..."

Ivan muttered to himself, "Have rumors gotten this out of control these days?"

Ayaka Kamisato asked in confusion, "Huh? What did you just say, Young Master Ivan?"

"Ah... a god falling in love with a human... I just think this rumor is too sensational."

Shen Lilinghua smiled and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Love is an emotion that transcends the boundaries between humans and gods. Speaking of which, I heard that this General Wang Husband is also a foreigner. There are very few foreigners in Inazuma. I was wondering if it's possible that Young Master Ivan knows this General Wang Husband."

Ivan wanted to say that he not only knew him, but he also knew how many moles he had.

Of course, Ivan couldn't say that, but simply nodded and said, "To be honest, I do know this General Wang Fu."

Ayaka Kamisato was taken aback, then a look of surprise appeared on her face: "Young Master, are you serious?"

"Of course, does Miss Kamisato have something to discuss with this general's consort?"

Just as Ayaka Kamisato was about to speak, a somewhat helpless male voice suddenly rang out behind them.

"Young Miss, why did you run out by yourself...?"

The group turned around and saw a blond man with Mondstadt features, wearing a red coat, standing behind them.

Ivan raised an eyebrow. He recognized the man, named Thomas, who was also a very important NPC in the game. Originally a Mondstadt native, he came to Inazuma for some special reasons and then followed the Kamisato family. He was the Kamisato family's steward and also a well-known local bully in Inazuma.

Ayaka Kamisato exclaimed in surprise, "Thoma? What are you doing here?"

Thomas said helplessly, "But we're looking for you, Miss... Miss, who are these two?"

Ayaka Kamisato introduced them to Thomas: "This is Young Master Ivan, and that is...."

Muzawa Nagahiro grinned and said, "My name is Muzawa Nagahiro, you can just call me Muzawa."

Thomas clasped his hands in greeting and said, "I am Thomas, and I am Miss Kamisato's attendant. I greet you both."

Shinri Ryoka said, "Thoma, you've come at the right time. Is the Wooden Leak Tea House open right now?"

Thomas said, "That's natural."

Ayaka Kamisato turned to Ivan and said, "Young Master Ivan, I have some matters I would like to discuss with you. It's not very convenient here. Would you mind if we went somewhere else to talk?"

Chapter 153 The Demands of the Society

On the southwest street of Inazuma Castle, an inconspicuous Japanese-style room stands on the side of the street. In front of the door, a woman dressed in a kimono is idly tugging at the petals of a flower she has picked from somewhere.

"Shoot".

Suddenly someone called the woman's name. The woman was startled and turned around, meeting a pair of clear eyes.

The woman was startled and quickly hid the flowers behind her back.

"Young Miss... Mr. Thomas..."

Thomas smiled gently and said, "Sho, don't slack off at work."

Her face flushed slightly, and she stuck out her tongue somewhat awkwardly.

Shen Lilinghua said, "Young Master Ivan, let's go in."

Ivan nodded, and then followed Thomas and Ryoka Kamisato into the Japanese-style room in front of him.

Upon entering the Japanese-style room, the first thing that catches the eye is a bar counter. Behind the bar counter are high-quality wooden shelves with many tea products and tea sets. Even just standing at the door, the aroma of tea wafts into your nostrils.

Thomas gestured for him to enter: "Welcome to the Wooden Leak Tea Room."

Ivan smiled and remarked, "I never expected to find such a fragrant teahouse on such an inconspicuous street in Inazuma City."

Ryouka Kamisato said, "The Wooden Leak Tea House is established and operated by our Kamisato family. It's generally not open to the public except for those we know well. Many of the people working here, like the tailors, are also retainers of the Kamisato family. As for the manager..."

Just then, a clear "woof woof" rang out, and a fluffy yellow creature rushed out from the corner of the tea room and pounced on Thomas, knocking him to the ground. It then began licking Thomas incessantly, making Thomas laugh heartily. Only then did everyone realize that it was a Shiba Inu of considerable size.
