Lady Tamako, who has mysophobia, does not allow anyone other than Yoko to touch her tail unless she is forced to.

"I remember one thing. Yoko is a shrine maiden in training at the Asase Shrine. She might have gone to Liyue and then returned to Qinglai Island."

"Asase Shrine?"

"Do you know him?" Yae Shinko observed Lin Ye's micro-expressions.

"heard about it."

"I will believe your words for now. Every year, shrine maidens from all over Inazuma come to Narujin Taisha to study and learn more advanced rituals and exorcism techniques."

“Yoko is one of them.”

"So her last name is Asase?"

"That's not the case. Her last name is Nagase."

Lin Ye nodded upon hearing this.

He originally thought that Yoko and Xiao Xiang would be related in some way, but since they did not have the same surname, they were probably not their descendants.

"Anyway, thank you for telling me this. When I have time, I'll go to Qinglai Island and try my luck."

"Thank you for your words and help me with the thunderstorm problem over there."

"Thunderstorm?"

"This involves another past event. We'll talk about it later when we have a chance." Yae Shinko was unwilling to talk more about this.

"And now," Yae Kamiko turned her head and looked outside the door. She smelled the aroma of fox udon, "it's time to enjoy the delicious food."

Lin Ye laughed dumbly.

Next, Hayashino stayed at Narukami Taisha for a few days. He expressed his willingness to help the son of God save the people of Inazuma from the dire straits and persuade the stay-at-home girl to leave her home.

But after the last in-depth conversation, Shen Zi no longer mentioned this matter, but often took out Yaedou's light novels and asked Lin Ye to comment on them.

A few days later, a guest came to visit Narugami Taisha Shrine.

The guest had a serene smile on his face, and was gentle and modest.

Lin Ye recognized the other person. He was the man with the fewest appearances and related plots among all the characters in the Genshin Impact, and the brother-in-law of many netizens - Kamisato Ayato.

……

One month later.

A huge fleet was sailing on the rough sea, shuttling through terrifying and intensive thunderstorms. The hulls of the ships had varying degrees of damage and repairs. Under the bright sunshine, they were like a warrior proudly showing off his scars as medals.

On the deck of the Death Star, Lamia lay on the deck with a look of despair, with an expression that asked, "Who am I, where do I come from, where am I going?"

The sailors coming and going are used to it. If it was a week ago, they would find it novel, but now, it’s just a pretty girl who is in a slump. What’s there to care about?

Not far away, Paimon glanced at Lamia and said worriedly to Ying.

"Lamia, this situation has been going on for a week."

"It was thanks to her that we were able to pass through the thunderstorm safely."

Beidou was also nearby and she laughed when she heard it.

When they were crossing the thunderstorm, they happened to encounter huge waves and attacks by sea monsters. If it weren't for Lamia's help in calming the huge waves, the Southern Cross team might have suffered casualties.

"But this must have scared Lamia quite a bit. She needs to build up her courage," Paimon said helplessly.

"How dare you talk about me like that? You were holding me in your arms and I almost couldn't breathe." Ying said unhappily.

"Huh? Was there? Paimon doesn't remember."

fluorescent:……

"By the way, how long will it take us to get to Inazuma?" Paimon changed the subject.

"Oh, we're almost there. In a day or two, you will land on the outlying island and someone will pick you up there." Beidou said with a smile.

"Aren't you on the blacklist? How come someone would come to help us?" Paimeng asked curiously.

"Well, we're business partners..."

At this time, Ying saw Shenhe walking towards Lamia.

Lamia, who was basking in the sun, first felt a shadow cast over her face, and then saw Shenhe bending down to look down at her.

Wow, it’s so big.

Lamia exclaimed.

Then Lamia got up neatly and looked at Shen He.

"what happened?"

"Nothing. What do you want for lunch?"

The food at sea is usually not very good, as ingredients are easily damp and moldy. Beidou and her friends have three meals a day, except for seafood that makes them almost vomit, and hard dry food.

Only when we go ashore to replenish supplies do we go to a restaurant and have a big meal.

But since Shenhe came on board, conditions have improved significantly.

First, Shen He brought the mechanism invented by Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, which was very effective in freezing and preserving food.

Secondly, Shen He’s cooking skills are not at the level of a master chef at Xinyuexuan, but they are also not comparable to those of an amateur.

Shen He can endure loneliness. She also has a good talent in cooking. She has a famous teacher at home and is making rapid progress.

The taste of the dishes on the recipe are almost the same when made by Shenhe.

For Beidou and the others who were used to eating seafood, this was a complete blow.

In fact, Ying’s cooking skills are also very good, but she is happy to do it for free.

Paimon thinks that as long as it tastes good, it's fine. She doesn't care who made it. She just wants to show off.

Shen He knew that Lamia had a unique taste, and the food she cooked was very popular with Lamia.

Speaking of food, Lamia's mood improved a little. She thought, "I remember there are octopus legs in the cabin. Why not eat the grilled octopus? By the way, can we grill on the boat?"

"I'll ask Sister Beidou later."

"Uh-huh."

"According to Sister Beidou, we will have to wait for Inazuma the day after tomorrow at the latest," Shen He said.

Lamia was stunned for a moment, then smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Sure enough, going ashore is always a pleasure no matter what time it is.

Two days later, on a calm day, Beidou pointed to the vague outline of an island in the distance and said, "If you go any further, you will be discovered by patrolling shogunate ships. You need to dive and swim over."

"So far?!" Paimon exclaimed, then clasped his hands and shook his head frantically, "I can't swim."

Paimeng accidentally fell into the river and nearly drowned, but luckily he was fished out by Ying.

At this time, Lamia came into play again. She spread out her hands, and a few small bubbles appeared in her palms. They slowly floated up and expanded to the size of a helmet visibly with the naked eye.

"This bubble will allow you to breathe freely like you are on land," Lamia said, "but it will only last for half an hour."

Paimon poked it curiously, but was then half swallowed by the bubble, which scared her so much that she started to fight.

"Wow, I'm going to suffocate to death... eh?"

Lamia watched Paimon go from fear to feeling magical, and although her face remained calm, she hummed softly, revealing her inner pride.

Ying, Shenhe and Paimeng put on bubbles and jumped into the water... Paimeng was dragged and thrown into the water by Ying.

Help good friends with things, no matter how small the matter is.

Lamia looked back at Beidou and the others, took a deep breath, jumped off the boat, and dived into the sea.

Lamia hadn't seen the world of the deep sea for some time. She was used to it all, but now she found it new and novel.

Shen He, Ying and others knew that Lamia was a mermaid, and she openly transformed into a mermaid. On the boat, Lamia paid more attention to her image as a human being... well, in the literal sense of looking like a human being, not in terms of manners or anything like that.

In the form of a siren, Lamia's slender white legs turned into a snake-like tail, her skin was pale, and upon closer inspection it was revealed to be densely packed with scales, she had a pair of snake pupils, and her blonde hair turned aqua blue.

It was the first time that Shen He and the others saw Lamia in the form of a mermaid. The three of them were well-informed people and were not frightened.

Lamia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The sirens stirred up the ocean currents, causing Shen He and the others to move very quickly while diving. They just had to follow the current and keep the right direction.

Outlying islands.

It was built five hundred years ago under the supervision of the head of the Hiiragi family, who was in charge of the Kanji Commission. Today, the head of the Hiiragi family lives here, and it is also a port for countries to travel to and from Inazuma.

However, after the issuance of the isolation order, the port became useless and there were few foreign ships except for the shogunate official ships that patrolled to prevent illegal immigration.

Shen He and Ying quietly went ashore. Lamia controlled the water element so that the girls' clothes were no longer wet.

"Beidou said that the person who will pick us up is called Thomas, has blond hair and a ponytail, and looks like a Mond." Paimon recalled the information Beidou had told him over the past two days and spoke out.

"Monds, after the implementation of the isolation order, there should be very few foreigners in Inazuma. Let's look for them." Ying said.

Shenhe and Lamia had no objection.

It was the first time for all four people to visit Inazuma. They were cautious and observed the pedestrians around them. They found that they were in a hurry and had depressed expressions on their faces.

Soon, Ying and others identified a suspect.

"Boss, how much do you sell this melon?"

"One price, one hundred thousand Mora per pound."

The person who bought the melon was a young man, and he couldn't help but complain when he heard this.

"I've been here for a while, but this is the first time I've heard of such an expensive watermelon. Is the rind of your watermelon made of gold, or are the watermelon seeds made of gold? I've lived in Inazuma for so many years, and I've never seen such an expensive watermelon."

"This is an imported melon, it tastes great, it's really sweet! You know, with this policy, the price will naturally go up. It's up to you to buy it or not. If you don't buy it, don't delay my business."

Upon hearing this, the young man was about to say something like "give me a favor", but at this time Paimeng on the side was also shocked by the price.

“One pound costs 100,000 Mora, it’s so expensive.

The young man who bought the melon turned his head to look at Ying and others, especially the flying elf. His expression was slightly stunned, but the next moment it changed as before. He looked at the melon owner and smiled.

"Give me one."

Upon hearing this, Boss Gua was surprised.

"As a small business, I never sell on credit."

The young man who was buying the melon laughed, and in front of Paimeng's shocked gaze, he handed over hundreds of thousands of Mora to the melon owner and happily got a watermelon.

"A rich man."

"It's hot, I'll treat you guys to some melon."

Boss Gua curled his lips and thought that it was just to pick up girls.

When Ying heard the young man say this, she looked at his appearance and nodded.

"This is not good. Such an expensive watermelon..." Paimeng swallowed his saliva, and faced with a stranger treating him to delicious food, he changed from being bold and uninhibited to being gentle and reserved, and spoke evasively.

"I can't eat so much by myself." The young man explained, holding the watermelon tied with a rope in one hand.

"Hmm..." Paimon saw Ying and Shenhe nodded, and had no objection.

The young man borrowed a machete from the boss, cut it into five large pieces with a few clicks, and divided it equally among the five people.

“You guys are not locals, right?”

The young man ate melon and said as if nothing had happened.

The melon owner was smart enough to lower his head and touch the melon, pretending he heard nothing.

"Yes." Ying nodded calmly, and then asked, "We are looking for someone. His name is Thomas. Do you know him?"

"What a coincidence! I am the person you are looking for, Thomas."

"So you are Thomas?!" Paimon said belatedly.

Thomas hummed.

"Since you are an outsider, go to the Supervisory Office first to apply for a residence permit," Thomas finished eating the watermelon in a few bites, threw the watermelon rind into a nearby trash can, and invited Ying and the others, "This is not a place to chat, let's talk while we walk."

“But we are stealing…”

"It doesn't matter. We are doing something unruly in an orderly manner."
