Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

Ayaka Kamisato: 'Thoma, there's a festival tonight, aren't you coming to play?'

Thomas, who was initially happy about making a new friend, froze instantly upon seeing his mistress's message. Oh no, he was doomed. He had been so focused on chatting in the group chat that he had forgotten the task his mistress had given him.

Thomas's hands trembled slightly as he held his phone. He was now unsure whether to reply to Ayaka's message first or go to the festival to find Ayaka and continue his plan.

No, the plan must go on. The young lady finally made up her mind to confess today, and he can't let her fail because of him.

After thinking it over, Thomas decided to carry out the plan first. If the plan went smoothly, even if the young lady found out that he had forgotten to carry out the plan because of the water group, she would not punish him too much. With that in mind, Thomas hurriedly ran towards the center of the festival.

At a fried food stall at the festival site, Su Bai and the others were eating all kinds of fried skewers. Ling Hua chatted with Su Bai and the others in a nonchalant manner, but in reality, she was getting anxious.

What's wrong with Thomas? This has never happened before. If Thomas doesn't come out soon, it will be too late when the festival ends.

"These fried skewers are really delicious. I never thought that simple ingredients would taste so good after being deep-fried and then coated with sauce."

"Hey, Ayaka, why aren't you eating? Is it not to your liking?"

Paimon, who had finished his portion of fried skewers early on, tilted his head in confusion when he saw that Ayaka's skewers hadn't been touched much. Ayaka, preoccupied with her own thoughts, could only compose herself and answer Paimon's question.

"No, the fried skewers taste great, I'm just a little worried about Thomas."

"Thoma? Thomas is such a big guy, how could he get lost? Ayaka, you can just eat and drink without worry."

Paimon's words reassured Ayaka somewhat. Based on her understanding of Thomas, Thomas must have been held back by something, otherwise he wouldn't have not yet started implementing the plan.

"Sigh, the Eye Hunt Order, I really don't know what that old woman, Shadow, is thinking."

Watching the shogunate soldiers with their blind eyes constantly weaving through the crowd and scrutinizing the participants at the festival, Su Bai couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. In his view, the Eye Hunting Order was far more harmful than beneficial to Inazuma.

As for why Su Bai, despite having the Divine Eye, didn't come to arrest people when the Shogunate went, you'd have to ask Kujo Sara, who had already spoken to the Shogunate's army.

Ying was also deeply moved by Su Bai's sentiments. She had been in Inazuma for three or four days, and during these days she had witnessed many tragedies while completing her missions, but the Thunder General seemed indifferent to all of this.

This scene reminded Ying of something her friend from another world often said: "If I had the chance, I would definitely ask that Thunder General, 'Have you ever thought that friends are no longer friends, and homes are no longer homes? Have you heard the children's cries of despair? Have you felt the city crumbling? Have you noticed the sneers of those who have succeeded in their schemes?'"

Just as the atmosphere was getting tense, Thomas, who was stuffed, finally found Su Bai and the others, clutching his stomach. The journey to find them had been quite a struggle for Thomas's stomach.

"So you were here, Miss."

"Oh, Thomas? Ayaka was just worried that something might have happened to you. Where did you go? It was really worrying."

Paimon spoke to Thomas like a little adult, and Ayaka looked at Thomas with questioning eyes. Thomas scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled.

"My stomach was a little upset because I ate some seafood at noon, so I just ordered a hot milk tea at the beverage shop to warm it up."

"Hey? Is your stomach upset? That's a shame. The fried skewers here are really delicious. Thomas, you shouldn't eat such greasy food if your stomach is upset."

Paimon took another skewer of fried food from Ying's bowl and stuffed it into his mouth. The delicious sauce and fresh ingredients made Paimon want to snatch another skewer from Ying.

"Indeed, the fried skewers here taste really good. Hmm, I can pack some to take to Sister Shenzi when I have time. She seems to be quite interested in fried skewers too."

After putting the last piece of fish tofu in his mouth, Su Bai didn't hold back his praise. The owner of this shop was indeed very skilled, and the price was relatively cheap.

"Right, right? I told you, it's delicious."

Thomas touched his still bloated stomach and gave a wry smile. If he hadn't eaten so much, he would have liked to try it too. Oh well, he'd better chat with them for a while and then find an excuse to call the traveler away. Meanwhile, Hu Tao, along with Zhong Li and Ruo Tuo, were also heading towards the festival site.

Walnut: 'Where is everyone? Why is the group chat suddenly so quiet? I was just about to ask someone what good food is available at the festival.'

The beautiful and intelligent Yae no Miko: 'Little Walnut, the festival is at its most lively right now. Everyone in the group should be attending. If you want to know what delicious food is available at the festival, I must recommend fried tofu.'

Walnut: 'Fried tofu? I think I tried that back in Liyue, but I didn't think it tasted very good.'

The beautiful and intelligent Yae no Miko: 'Oh dear, little one, fried tofu is a rare delicacy. Come to Narukami Shrine someday and try the fried tofu here, then you'll know what real fried tofu is.'

Zhong Li: "Generally speaking, perhaps we should try Inazuma's specialty foods. The same food can evoke different feelings of liking in different people. For example, I wasn't very interested in the butter crab that Master Hu bought earlier."

Walnut: "Hey? Zhongli's crab doesn't taste fishy at all. Don't you really want to try it?"

Hisaki Shinobu: "Everyone, excuse me for interrupting your conversation. Has anyone seen a very burly, white-haired idiot around the festival? He might be followed by three henchmen. If you see him, please let me know."

Zhong Tuo: 'Is this the person you found? (Image)'

Chapter 267 The First Encounter Between Kurumi and Others and Ichidou

"Waaaaah~ Ichidou-nii, you're bullying me! I'm going to tell Mom!"

"What is this? He clearly lost the bet with me, yet he's crying and looking for his mother. He's not manly at all."

A little boy left the festival crying. Ichito, who had won two lollipops by betting with other children, proudly popped one into his mouth, intending to save the other for Shinobu after he finished his work.

"Wow, this guy with horns on his head is stealing a kid's lollipop! I'll go over and confront him."

Full of a sense of justice, Kurumi rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to argue with Ichito. Meanwhile, in the group chat, as Zhong Tuo successfully uploaded Ichito's photo, a lively discussion ensued. Upon seeing the photo, Kuki Shinobu rushed to the festival without stopping.

Kujo Sara: 'I've always felt it was a disgrace to Inazuma to have to deal with that thug in front of other countries' delegations, but now it seems that if Ichito Arataki isn't taught a lesson, he won't behave himself.'

Kuki Shinobu: 'Sara, calm down, calm down. I'll handle the boss. You're so busy, leave this little thing to me.'

Kujo Sara: 'Alright, for Shinobu's sake, I don't want our Inazuma to embarrass us in Liyue.'

Kuki Shinobu: "Thank you, Sara. I happen to have some intelligence about the resistance here. I'll send it to you privately after I've dealt with the boss."

The beautiful and intelligent Yae no Miko: 'Oh my, Sara, I heard the leader of the resistance is a very cute shrine maiden. If your shogunate army captures her, would you...?'

Kujo Sara: 'Yae no Kami, that Sango no Kokoro is a serious criminal who rebelled against the Shogun. She should be handed over to the Shogun for trial. If you really want to protect her, you need to talk to the Shogun. I have no authority to make that decision.'

Yae no Miko: 'Alright, alright, I really don't know why Kage has such a loyal subordinate like you. If I had known this would happen, I would have left you at Narukami Shrine earlier.'

Narukami Taisha? Narukami? Hearing such a familiar name, Jota couldn't help but feel curious. In all the days she had been in Inazuma, she had only heard the people of Inazuma talking about a thunder god called Raiden General, but no one had mentioned Narukami, who had previously attended the Seven Gods Gathering. What had happened in the outside world during the years she spent in the seal?

"Zhongli, has that Naruto fallen?"

There was a hint of disbelief in Ruoduo's words. Although the Shadow Warrior from a thousand years ago was not very strong, he was still strong enough to suppress the native demon god of Inazuma in this remote place.

"That's right, Narukami has indeed perished in the great battle five hundred years ago."

"Five hundred years ago, again five hundred years ago, what exactly happened five hundred years ago? Morax, you bastard, tell me!"

Ruo Tuo jumped up and grabbed Zhong Li's collar, questioning him. Whenever she asked Zhong Li about the war five hundred years ago, Zhong Li would always brush it off by saying it was nothing serious. At that time, she thought it really was nothing serious and stopped asking.

But now it seems that Thor died in that war, and this guy is fine, damn it. Do you really think she's like that white-haired idiot over there?

“I’m sorry, Ruoduo, there are just too many people and facts involved in what happened five hundred years ago. It’s enough for me to bear all of this alone.”

Zhongli patted Ruo Tuo's head, a rare doting smile appearing on his face. At this moment, no one could guess what Zhongli was thinking. However, Ruo Tuo could feel Zhongli's protection and care for her. The grievances sealed for thousands of years completely vanished at this moment.

"Hmph, fine, don't tell me then. Anyway, I can save you from any danger. I'm pretty strong."

"Then you just need to obediently stay behind me and cheer me on."

Ruo Tuo arrogantly turned her head away from Zhong Li, perhaps feeling a little shy. After punching Zhong Li, Ruo Tuo ran towards Hu Tao, ignoring Zhong Li. Zhong Li was stunned for a moment before silently smoothing out the fist mark on her clothes.

"Witnesses come to witness, and those who remember are born to remember."

"If one day that person really intends to harm Liyue, then when I return to the heavens, I will entrust Liyue to you for protection, Ruoduo."

Watching Ruoduo playfully interacting with Hu Tao, Zhongli's gaze deepened and hardened. Having witnessed the destruction of Kanria, he neither wanted nor allowed Liyue to disappear into the annals of history. Even if it meant becoming enemies with the one high above, he would still protect Liyue.

"I wish to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine with you..."

"Arataki, the greatest fighter in the world!"

Interrupted, Zhongli looked at Araki Ichito. His previously calm demeanor underwent a slight change. He sensed Araki Ichito's affinity for the rock element, something only someone with a rock elemental eye could do. But why would someone with a rock elemental eye be such a thing?

Zhongli has met many people with the Eye of Geo over the years, and these people are all reliable and steady. Could it be that the Eye of Geo in front of him has gone astray?

"Hey, hey, you old man over there, hurry up and pull your two kids away from me. Don't disturb my good mood. Wait, where did you get those phones from?"

"You didn't steal this from Su Bai's house, did you? Well, at least I've run into a thief."

"Since I've run into you, I'll let you off the hook since you're still young. Just hand over your phones obediently and I won't bully you."

Seeing that Hu Tao and the others all had a cell phone in their hands, Ichito chewed up the lollipop in his mouth, stretched his body, and showed off his muscles to Hu Tao and Ruoduo.

"See my muscles? Getting a beating from me will hurt a lot. And if you get caught by Kujo Tengu, she'll definitely teach you a lesson."

"So, hand over your phones obediently. I'll send your old father to jail in a bit, and you two will be my underlings. I'll have Ah Ren teach you a lesson."

Watching Yidou constantly flexing his muscles and talking to himself, Ruoduo took out a few Mora from his pocket and threw them to Yidou. Upon seeing the Mora, Yidou immediately stopped what he was doing, grabbed the Mora, and stuffed it into his pocket. His speed was no less than that of the old pastry chef that Hu Tao had seen in Liyue Harbor using chopsticks to catch flies.

Meanwhile, Hu Tao, who had already taken photos of this muscle-flexing display, immediately sent all the photos to the group chat, and didn't forget to ask a question at the end.

Walnut: 'Is this Inazuma's signature street performance? To be honest, it's pretty boring...'

Kujo Sara: 'That disgraceful wretch, I should throw him in jail!'

Hisaki Shinobu: "Ms. Kurumi, I'm so sorry. Please wait for me, I'll be there soon."

Hu Tao: "It's alright, it's alright. I'm not a petty person. I think this big oaf is quite interesting. I'll throw him a few Mora to tease him."

Hisaki Shinobu: '...'

Chapter 268 The Interrupted Confession

"Su Bai, Ling Hua, you two can go shopping first. Ying and I will go buy some things for Thomas."

"Go on, little Paimon. If you see anything you like, you can buy it. Just put it on the tab at the Shinri family's house."

"Hey! Ayaka, you're such a good person!"

Linghua watched with a smile as Paimon, who was thinking about what to buy, left the festival. Watching Paimon and the others walk away, Linghua blushed slightly as she looked at Su Bai. Finally, she could spend some time alone with Su Bai.

At this moment, Su Bai, who was enjoying the fried skewers, did not notice Ling Hua's unusual behavior. Of course, even if she had noticed, she would not have thought about it in that direction, since the two of them were already too familiar with each other.

"Su Bai, let's go take a look over there. I haven't really explored this festival properly yet."

Linghua pointed to a less crowded spot and made a suggestion in a soft, sweet voice. Su Bai naturally did not object and got up to accompany Linghua there.

Along the way, Su Bai told Ling Hua a lot about Li Yue. Listening to Su Bai's description of Li Yue, Ling Hua couldn't help but feel a little longing. Ling Hua, who had never left Inazuma, was actually very curious about the outside world, but her identity forced her to suppress this curiosity. Now that Su Bai was talking about Li Yue, Ling Hua listened with great interest.

"Ayaka, there don't seem to be any vendors around here. Let's head back."

As they talked, the two arrived at the edge of the festival. The location was rather secluded, with few people visiting or vendors setting up stalls, making everything seem so peaceful.

Looking around and seeing that no one was around, Linghua was overjoyed. This was the place she had always dreamed of. Lord Thor, please bless her to succeed!

"Um, Su Bai, I..."

After a moment of inner turmoil, Linghua parted her lips slightly, and the words containing the sentiments of a young girl were just uttered when a rumbling sound interrupted her.

"Hmm? Something seems to have happened over there. Ayaka, let's go check it out together, just in case something goes wrong."

Ayaka's expression froze. Although she was very unwilling, she still nodded. After all, this festival was organized by their club's president, and she needed to go and see it in person to ensure the festival could proceed smoothly. It was just a pity that she missed this good opportunity to confess her feelings.
