Yes, Lady Funina!

“By the way, I still have some clothes that Ying wore here…” Yae Shinko mentioned it casually.

Kujo Sara's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "As a subordinate, how can you have the intention of usurping power?"

Then she picked out a samurai uniform that she was more familiar with and walked into the dressing room.

Yae Shinko was waiting outside the door with a smile on her face, adjusting the camera imported from Fontaine. It must be said that this thing is much better than hand painting.

Before the invention of video cameras, even the most outstanding painters could only produce two or three sets of clothes a day. But with video cameras, producing more than ten sets a day is no longer a dream!

"Sara, are you done changing?" Seeing that Kujo Sara had stayed in the locker room for such a long time and had not come out, Yae Shinto urged him.

"Horse, horse..." A panicked voice of Kujo Sara came from inside the house.

Soon the door was opened and Kujo Sara walked out. When Yae Shinto saw him, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is this really a samurai costume?" Kujo Sara pulled the hem of her skirt down tightly with her hands so that the short fabric could cover more skin.

The upper body is wearing pure black soft armor, but the style of this soft armor is a bit special. It can only cover the southern hemisphere and a little bit of the northern hemisphere. The upper part is covered by a semi-transparent pure white silk shawl, and the flesh color can be faintly seen.

As for the back, it is completely exposed to the air, straight and tall, with even lines and fair skin. It is a rare beautiful back. Looking from the side, you can also see a corner of the ball, which is white and straight.

This made Kujo Sara wonder, there was no protection at all, leaving so many weak points, especially the most important back, exposed to the air, could it really be called a samurai suit?

Especially the lower body, the trousers that should have been for easy movement were replaced with a miniskirt, the kind that is tight and hip-hugging, which can easily expose one's body if one is not careful.

Of course, the children of the battlefield would not care about these things, but the problem is that it is not convenient to act!

The quality was not very good either. Kujo Sara felt that if she moved a little more vigorously, the skirt might be torn.

If the guy who designed this kind of samurai uniform was her subordinate, he would definitely be dragged out and executed.

"Not bad, not bad. It suits you much better than Ying's." Yae Shinko said with a smile, while the camera in his hand never stopped.

"General?!" Kujo Sara was surprised. Could it be that the clothes he was wearing now had been worn by the General before? !

This, this is outrageous! Such an act of usurpation...

"It's just a joke. How could Ying agree to change into such weird clothes?" Yae Shenzi sighed. How could he trick that guy into putting on clothes when he couldn't even see the person?

You know how weird these costumes are!

Kujo Sara's pretty face flushed, not knowing how to react.

"Come on, don't just stand there, there are still several sets to be photographed." After Yae Kamiko finished photographing the samurai costume, she urged Kujo Sara to change into other clothes.

After a long struggle, and after completely satisfying Yae Shinko's desire to change clothes, Kujo Sara was finally let go, but at the same time, a large number of photos were left behind, which could be regarded as a lifelong stain on the general.

Obviously, none of the photos were revealing, but Kujo Sara felt that each one was more embarrassing than revealing.

"Master Yae, will you promise not to show it to others?" asked Kujo Sara, her beautiful eyes fixed on Yae God.

"Of course, I will never show it to outsiders." Yae Shinko said affirmatively.

After receiving the assurance, Kujo Sara breathed a sigh of relief, but she suddenly realized a problem. General, is she considered an outsider of the Eightfold God?

When this question was asked, Yae Shinko raised a charming smile at the corner of her lips and said with her red lips slightly opened: "It depends on your performance."

Kujo Sara's heart felt like it was sinking into an ice cellar. If he had known, he would not have made a bet with Yae Shinko. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.

Kujo Sara left, his back was in a state of disgrace, having lost miserably.

Cherish life and stay away from gambling and drugs.

Yae Shenzi put the photo away, stretched lazily, and looked in the direction of Tadashi Sand. She murmured to herself: "Is the seal about to break? It's time to go to Fontaine..."

Volume 7: Chapter The Eightfold Son of God is Coming to Visit

"Inazuma Yae will visit Fontaine soon to discuss important matters with the water god Fukaros", "Inazuma's 'Jade Steel' was successfully trial-produced, and she intends to hire Fontaine's scientific consultant to design mass-production equipment", "Inazuma attracts investment on a large scale, and the isolation order is suspected to be lifted"... Ling

Recently, there seems to be a wave of Inazuma style blowing in Fontaine, as if there is an invisible hand behind it, pushing the people of Fontaine to turn their attention to the island country far to the east.

The Inazuma Embassy in Fontaine also formally submitted an application for a work visit to the Fontaine government, and this application went through several rounds and finally landed on the desk of Administrative Minister Funina.

"Richard, do you think this Yajen Palace Master is here to settle accounts with me?" Funina asked with some guilt.

Richard looked at the water god who looked nervous. He frowned and asked, "Lady Funina, did you offend the Eightfold Palace Master without my knowledge?"

"No, how is that possible? We haven't even met him." Funina denied it three times.

"In that case, why do you think the other party must have come with malicious intent?"

"Isn't it?" Furninna's eyes were clear and stupid.

"Lady Funina, have you been paying attention to the public opinion in Fontaine recently?" Richard decided to change the subject and asked.

"The latest public opinion? Are you talking about the Gray River murder case? I didn't expect you were also paying attention to this. Richard, let me tell you, based on the reliable information from this Lord Water God, the murderer must be that..." When Fu Nina talked about this, she was no longer sleepy and looked energetic.

I've never seen her so energetic at work, Richard complained.

"That's not what I'm talking about, Lady Funina. Haven't you noticed that Fontaine has been talking more and more about Inazuma recently?"

"Inazuma? It's probably because Yaezawa is going to visit Fontainebleau soon. I heard that Yaezawa is a rare beauty. It's normal for everyone to pay attention to her, right?" Funina said subconsciously, and then quickly reacted.

"Wait, you mean the recent surge in Inazuma news is related to Yae Miko?"

Funina thought back to the newspaper that had been leading her with eye-catching rumors. It seemed that they were paid to stir up public opinion in Fontaine and put her in a disadvantageous position.

So, would Yae Shinko also use this method to build momentum in Fontaine to achieve her goal?

"That's right, Lady Finina. This fox demon is best at playing with people's hearts, so you have to be careful." Richard advised seriously.

When Funina heard this, a light bulb suddenly turned on her head. She seemed to smell gossip.

"From what you said, it seems that you know that Yae Gongsi?"

"We've just had dealings with each other. You know, although my father is from Fontaine, in fact I only returned to Fontaine recently. Before that, I traveled around the seven countries of Teyvat and got to know some people there." Richard replied without changing his expression.

"Well, actually I'm not very clear about your situation." Funina replied embarrassedly.

She suddenly realized that her secretary general was no ordinary person and she had never really understood him before.

Richard immediately showed a look of shock on his face, as if he was sad because his boss did not really understand him.

But in fact, Richard was very happy in his heart. It’s good that you don’t understand. That’s what I want you to not understand.

If Fernina knew too much, then Richard would be worried.

Fu Nina believed Richard's performance and quickly said, "I just don't have much time recently..."

She paused here and her pretty face turned slightly red. Family members know their own business. She had time to go to the Oprykle Opera House for fun, so how could she not have time to look at Richard's file? She just hadn't thought about it in this way.

"Anyway, let's talk about the Eightfold Goddess first. Richard, do you have any idea about her purpose of coming to Fontaine?" Although Funina didn't learn anything else these days, she did learn a lot about how to change the subject.

Richard was very pleased. At least it proved that his training had paid off and that Funina was not a hopeless person.

"There are only three reasons why Yaezamiko is using public opinion to create momentum. First, Inazuma needs a consulting team that is proficient in machinery. Second, Inazuma's finances are not ideal and it needs Fontaine funding. Third, there are problems within Inazuma."

"I can understand the first and second reasons, but how did you come up with the third one?" Funina asked puzzled.

After all, the first two reasons were mentioned in the official visit application, but the third reason was a little confusing to her, and she didn't know how Richard deduced it.

Richard did not keep the secret, he said in a positive tone: "If a country is functioning normally, a policy like the isolation order would not appear, especially under the current trend of mutual integration and communication among the countries in Teyvat. Inazuma's isolation order is as abrupt as a civil servant voluntarily working overtime!"

"And the only reason Inazuma did this is obviously because there was a problem within the organization. If we think more boldly, the problem is most likely with that Narukami."

"But the Inazuma isolation order has been in effect for some time. Why did the Eightfold Divine Son choose to come to Fontaine at this time?" Funina asked the question again.

Richard shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that, but no matter what, Yae Shenzi must have her motive for coming to visit, and this motive is most likely something that happened recently or is very likely to happen in the future."

"It's like you seem to be doing nothing on the surface, but you've been working on the prophecy of doomsday secretly."

"Who?" There was confusion in Funina's eyes, and it didn't seem fake.

Richard didn't say anything more, just a few tentative words.

"In short, we just need to remain constant in the face of ever-changing situations and wait patiently for the fox's tail to be revealed," he said with a double meaning.

Funina understood what he said, which meant that everything was fine now!

Then let's continue playing music and dancing.

Funina didn't have to think about what the Eightfold Son of God's purpose was, because even if she did, she probably wouldn't be able to guess it, you know, she doesn't have that ability.

But Richard couldn't help but think that he was now the executive secretary general of Fontaine City Hall. He had to do his job and his strong sense of responsibility prevented him from ignoring any factors that were unfavorable to Fontaine.

It’s definitely not because Yae Shinko knows too much. He is worried about something going wrong and has to make some preparations in advance.

There is a saying that goes, when someone has something against you, you'd better have something against her too.

Although Yae Kamiko didn't have any real evidence such as photos or notebooks of black history, she knew a lot about him. After all, they had worked together for a period of time.

If the Eightfold Divine Son lets Furninna know something that she shouldn't know at this stage, it would be a bit troublesome for Richard.

Fortunately, Richard has a box specifically for collecting negative information. He calls this box the "black box". There is a lot of negative information about the Eightfold Son of God in it, so Richard has not been too worried so far.

By the way, the previous photo of Funina crying is also collected.

Volume 8: Chapter : The Past of Inazuma

A hundred years after the Kanreya catastrophe, Inazuma encountered disasters of varying sizes again. In this year of reconstruction, a half-elf set foot on this land shrouded in thunder.

The half-elf first lived in Inazuma for a few years to get to know the local customs and culture. After having a clear understanding of the political situation at the time, he challenged Ming Shen to a duel in front of the emperor.

Unlike a normal duel before the king, the duel proposed by the half-elf revolves around the development of Inazuma.

The poorest village at that time was the Himeki Village on Yagyu Island. The half-elf said that he could develop the Himeki Village into the richest village in Inazuma, and with this as a bet, he asked Ming Shen to teach him supreme martial arts.

Ming Shen agreed to the duel with the half-elf, and her followers were also very interested in this, so they decided to request to participate in this duel before the emperor. They also chose to develop a poor village. Whoever developed it better would win the duel before the emperor, and the loser would agree to one condition of the winner.

Compared to a life-and-death duel, this unique confrontation was more in line with the war-weary public opinion environment in Inazuma at the time, and soon topics surrounding Narukami, Narukami's followers, and half-elves became popular in Inazuma.

The two selected villages developed rapidly in the hands of the two duelists.

As a local and a member of the Ming Shen clan, she had the best of both worlds, but surprisingly, despite this huge advantage, she was defeated in this duel.

Because the half-elf first invented a genius steelmaking method called "Tama Steel", which won a large number of orders from the shogunate military, boosted employment for the villagers, and attracted young people to return to the village.

The military also obtained more powerful weapons and quickly put down the war on Bayun Island and suppressed the rebellion on Kaio Island.

Later, the half-elf keenly sensed the war-weariness of Kaio Island. With his mediation, Kaio Island gave up its rebellion and began to have economic dealings with Ming Shen Island.

The Himuko Village, sandwiched between the two, became the biggest beneficiary of the transactions between the two forces.

It's really sad to say that the reason why Himeki Village has not been able to develop is largely due to the civil strife between Kaio Island and Narukami Island. However, now Himeki Village has gained huge benefits from it.

This situation was not a coincidence. Everyone was aware of the huge role played by the half-elves. Even proud people like Ming Shen's followers had to admit that she lost.

He put down the Inazuma civil strife, promoted the Inazuma economy, and won the duel before the emperor, making the half-elf a popular legendary figure at the time.

As promised, Ming Shen taught all his martial arts to the half-elf, and Ming Shen's follower also said that she would agree to any request made by the half-elf, which naturally included herself.

Mingshen's followers are among the best in the world in terms of appearance and status. As a fox fairy, she has countless suitors, but she has never shown any interest in anyone except him.

Just when everyone thought that the half-elf was going to win the beauty, the half-elf made a puzzling request. He wanted to become an assistant to the followers of Ming Shen and participate in the management of the entire Inazuma territory.

Ming Shen's followers agreed, and the two were inseparable from then on, both in work and life. The half-elf, as an assistant, was more like a knowledgeable teacher. In addition to teasing the fox fairy, she also taught her how to manage Inazuma and command her subordinates.

Working during the day and practicing martial arts at night, the half-elf shuttles between Ming Shen and his followers. Some people speculate that this man of outstanding ability has greater ambitions and he wants to enjoy the best of both worlds.

In fact, he does have the possibility of success, as both Ming Shen and his followers have a high degree of favorability towards him.

Everyone was speculating about the thoughts of this outstanding person, thinking that life would continue like this for a long time.

Until one and a half days later, the elf learned all of Ming Shen's martial arts and said goodbye to Ming Shen's followers.

He said: He was born in Fontaine, grew up in Mondstadt, studied in Liyue, and finally put it into practice in Inazuma. Now that he has proven that what he has learned is not in vain, it is time to say goodbye.

The follower of Narukami is angry that the half-elf regards separation as a threat. In her opinion, this is a means for the other party to make her and Narukami commit to him together.

Ming Shen's family said that they would tell Ming Shen his true identity unless he never asked for separation again. In this way, she might be able to help him realize his wish of having two wives.

But unfortunately, the half-elf is not the kind of person who uses separation as a bargaining chip. He has made up his mind to leave. He has higher ideals. The little Inazuma obviously cannot realize all his ambitions. His free will drives him to leave.

After leaving a letter and finishing all the things at hand, the half-elf left Inazuma.

Ming Shen found the letter he left behind, and the content of the letter made her fall into a long silence. Finally, she sighed, and after successfully creating an eternal doll, she threw herself into that pure land without thoughts.

Ming Shen's family did not see the letter. She was surprised that the half-elf left without saying goodbye, angry at the half-elf's indifference and ruthlessness, and annoyed at her own indecision. In the end, she caused her friends to separate and was left alone to support the entire Inazuma.

If I had let go of all my pride and self-esteem and kept him, and promised him that I was willing to share this relationship with Ming Shen, would the ending be different?

After a long period of thinking, Ming Shen's family came up with the answer. The ruthless man would not stop for anyone. Only then did she realize that it seemed that the man had never expressed his thoughts about her and Ming Shen. Everything was just her wishful thinking.

Maybe when she told the man that she would help him, the man was probably laughing at her self-conceit?

She began to hate the man and everything related to him. She started drastic reforms, and finally regretted it after erasing all traces of the man on Inazuma.

But it was too late. The portraits left behind in the past had been torn into pieces in her rage, and all the furniture that had come into contact with them sank to the bottom of the sea in the narrow space between the blades. The only trace that might be left was in the pure land of Ming Shen, and she could not go there.
