In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

General Raiden, the Scattered Soldiers, and the Eighth Prince—these are the three people that Suzumiya Yuu least wants to provoke in Inazuma right now. If he could, he wouldn't even want to meet them.

Suzumiya Yu knew that Yae no Miko was the owner of Yae-do, but Yae no Miko was usually busy with the affairs of Narukami Taisha, so she rarely came to the city. He never expected to run into her this time.

Their luck was a bit off, but thankfully, Yae no Miko didn't catch up, otherwise things would have become very troublesome.

After calming his emotions, Suzumiya Yu walked out onto the street and, following the memories from the game, finally found the [Kokuraya].

The owner of Ogura-ya is named Ogura Mio. She is a woman with long pink hair and wears fashionable clothes, which is not surprising since she is the owner of a clothing store.

Oguraya was very close to the town magistrate of Inazuma Castle, which was a place specifically used to imprison criminals, so it was heavily guarded, even now that the shogunate was short of manpower.

Fortunately, no one noticed Suzumiya Yuu, because his boyish appearance made most people not think of him as a suspicious person.

"Would you like to take a look at the latest clothing styles, sir?"

As Suzumiya Yu approached, Ogura Mio had already noticed him.

"I have a clothing design sketch here, can I order a custom-made one?"

Without saying a word, Suzumiya Yu quickly took out the clothing design sketch from her pocket and handed it to Ogura Mio.

Mio Ogura took the clothing design sketches and glanced at them.

"Of course you can, but handsome young man, are you getting this suit made as a gift for your sweetheart?"

When Ogura Mio said this, the word "gossip" was practically written all over her face.

"That's it."

"Really? How wonderful. Then please come back in three days. The silk fabrics we have recently are quite tight, and making this kind of garment takes time; it can't be finished in a short while."

The policy of isolationism led to a decrease in trade between Inazuma and foreign countries, resulting in an inevitable shortage of goods, including fabric.

"It's okay, just use the best materials. Time and money are not a problem."

"That's wonderful! I certainly won't let my guests down."

Suzumiya Yu smiled, said nothing more, and after paying the deposit, he turned and left the small storehouse.

It's not very late yet, but there are very few pedestrians on the street.

There was no other way; with Muzan Kibutsuji around, more and more people were afraid to go out at night, and even many shops closed early, fearing that the demon would come after them.

Suzumiya Yu didn't really feel anything about this. He didn't even have the desire to devour ordinary people with such weak strength, so this kind of thing wouldn't affect him.

However... he seemed to feel that a pair of eyes were watching him from the shadows, a feeling that only began when he entered the city.

"Are you being followed?"

Suzumiya Yu had already located the other party's position, but since they were on the street, he couldn't make a move directly.

With a stride forward, Suzumiya Yu arrived at a secluded spot. It wasn't particularly hidden, but if she could eliminate her opponent quickly, she wouldn't be discovered.

On the surface, nothing seemed amiss, but when the man chased after her to a corner, he discovered that Suzumiya Yu had vanished.

"Gone? How...?"

Before he could even be surprised, a sharp blade pierced through his neck from behind.

Blood flowed from the puncture wound, and as the pupils gradually dilated, the person soon lost all life.

Suzumiya Yu stood behind him, and without any emotion, pulled the blade from his neck, shook off the blood, and then sheathed it.

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Ninja of the Final Chapter

After searching the other person's body for a while, Suzumiya Yu found some shuriken and kunai, as well as a token engraved with the Kamisato family crest.

"I see, so it's the [Final Episode]?"

Suzumiya Yu quickly guessed the other person's identity: a member of the "Final Chapter," an organization under the magistrate's command.

The Final Squad is a very mysterious organization. Most of its members are highly trained ninjas, and few people in Inazuma know about them because the members of the Final Squad usually don't show their faces easily.

Among them, Hayazusa from the final episode is a character who appeared in the game. She is one of the five great lolis of Teyvat and a four-star wind attribute greatsword character.

However, the people who came this time were not Hayato, but the other members of the final episode.

If it were Hayato who was following her, even Suzumiya Yu wouldn't be able to easily spot her.

However, this incident served as a wake-up call for Suzumiya Yu.

The ninjas of the final battle are extremely skilled at stealth. Suzumiya Yuu didn't know if this was the first time he had been followed. If not, then something big was about to happen.

First, his identity will be revealed, and his hiding place will be exposed. However, this is the worst outcome. The best outcome would be that this is the first time he has been followed, and neither his identity nor his hiding place has been discovered.

"I'll have to be more careful from now on."

As Ryou thought to himself, once he returned, he would remind Uya to be more careful about whether he was being followed, and he would also start preparing his own backup plan.

Although this hiding place has only just been put into use, it doesn't mean it won't be discovered in the short term. He must prepare a new hiding place in case of unforeseen circumstances.

As for now, it's probably impossible to get exotic cuisine. He doesn't know if the final installment will come again, so he must leave Inazuma Castle before then.

......

After disposing of the stalker's body, Suzumiya Yu returned to her hiding place and did not find anyone following her along the way.

When they returned to their hideout, it was already very late. Since he was not there, Wuye did not go out hunting, in order to prevent Ayaka Kamisato from escaping.

Suzumiya Yu arrived at the door of Kamisato Ayaka's room and gently pushed the door open.

The room was completely dark, without any light.

Ayaka Kamisato was lying in bed. Because the demons had the ability to see at night, Yuu Suzumiya could see that she was curled up and covered herself up very tightly with the blanket.

This is a sign of insecurity, but it's understandable; in this kind of environment, no one can completely calm down.

Suzumiya Yu stood at the door for a while, then closed the door and went back to his room.

Back in his room, he lay on the bed. Ghosts can fall asleep, but they generally don't need to rest.

Now a period of relative calm has begun. The Shogunate army is too busy to attend to everything, and the Fools have also disappeared, presumably focusing on collecting crystallized bone marrow.

Most of the crystallized bone marrow collected by the Fools was provided by the Hiiragi family, who were in charge of the Kansei (a type of religious administration). They did not hesitate to exploit foreign merchants in order to obtain the benefits promised by the Fools.

Thinking about this, Suzumiya Yu was very curious about one thing: could the Fatui really defeat Raiden General by relying solely on the power of crystallized bone marrow?

In the game, the Heart of God was given to the scattered soldiers by Yae no Miko at the cost of protecting the protagonist, so the power of the crystallized marrow was not shown.

Now that his appearance has changed things, it's probably impossible for the Scattered Soldiers to get the Heart of God from Yae no Miko, and the Thunder General will definitely not hand over the Heart of God to him as easily as Wendy and Zhongli did.

"So... does that mean... the only solution is through force?"

Suzumiya Yu began to think about something: if the Fools could really defeat Raiden General with their crystallized marrow, could he take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits?

This is not impossible, and it is the safest scenario for him.

I just hope the skirmishers won't be on guard against him, but if that time really comes, I'm sure the "lady" will come too.

Two Fatui Enforcers...that's really troublesome.

......

The next day, Suzumiya Yu set off for the outlying island, hoping to obtain recipes for exotic dishes from the World Merchants Association, as this was the quickest way available.

In addition, he also had to go to the Hiiragi family because he wanted to know what the crystallized bone marrow was for.

Soon, Suzumiya Yu found the president of the World Merchants Association, Kurishu.

He bought recipes for exotic dishes from Kyurisu, and bought almost everything he could get his hands on.

The World Merchants Association has recently been facing a shortage of funds, and excessive taxes have been suffocating them. Ryou's move is undoubtedly a timely help for them.

Suzumiya Yui herself didn't seem to care about it. Hisashi had asked him his name, but he hadn't said it.

Because neither Kibutsuji Muzan nor his real name can be easily revealed to others.

After leaving the World Merchants Association, he arrived at the Hiiragi family's residence.

The Hiiragi family is one of the three great families of Inazuma and the administrator of the Kansei Magistrate, one of the three magistrates. Their main task is to control the movement of Mora within Inazuma, but ultimately they are subordinate to the shogunate and the Raiden Shogun.

He randomly grabbed a guard from the Imperial Guard and learned from him that a shipment of goods would be sent to Hachiyun Island today.

If I'm not mistaken, that shipment should be crystallized bone marrow, because the factory where the Fools collect crystallized bone marrow is located on Bayun Island.

Having obtained no further useful information, Suzumiya Yu killed the guard and disposed of his body to prevent it from being found.

After leaving the Hiiragi family mansion, Suzumiya Yu arrived at the warehouse of the Kansei Magistrate. If it were goods, they would definitely be stored here.

Using her agile movements, Suzumiya Yu sneaked into the warehouse unnoticed and found a large quantity of crystallized bone marrow, filling about ten trucks.

He took some of it, but because the amount was small, no one noticed.

After doing all this, Suzumiya Yu returned. He did not launch a surprise attack on the Kansei Magistrate because he still needed them and the Fools to join forces to deal with Raiden General.

Back at their hideout, Suzumiya Yui immediately prepared the ingredients and made a crispy chicken burger and golden shrimp balls.

This was made using a recipe he bought from the World Chamber of Commerce. Since it was his first time making it, he tasted it himself first.

It must be said that Suzumiya Yu is very talented in cooking. Although the food she made the first time was just average, the second time she made it, the taste was significantly improved.

He had never eaten food from other countries before, so he didn't know if these foods tasted authentic.

But as long as it tastes good, it doesn't matter whether the flavor is authentic or not, right?

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Role of Crystallized Bone Marrow

There was a gentle knock on the door, and before Ayaka Kamisato could speak, Yuu Suzumiya opened the door and walked in.

Holding two plates of exotic dishes, Suzumiya Yu placed them on the bedside table.

"This is..."

Sensing the enticing aroma, Ayaka Kamisato walked forward curiously.

"Here's the exotic cuisine you ordered, have a taste."

Suzumiya Yu said expressionlessly, and upon hearing this, Kamisato Ayaka swallowed hard.

Picking up her chopsticks, she gently picked up a golden shrimp ball, then put it in her mouth and chewed slowly.

A sense of satisfaction instantly filled her mouth; this was the first time Ayaka Kamisato had tasted foreign cuisine.

"good to eat!"
