Genshin Impact: The Daily Life of Inazuma's Youkai

As expected, Rhinedottir's face twisted—pride, discomfort, embarrassment—when she saw Reisen Riou's documents, 40% Khaenri'ahn tech. He barely stifled a laugh.

She muttered about verifying the data and left hastily. Reisen Riou wasn't worried about Khaenri'ah reneging; the contract, backed by the Geo Archon's authority and Narukami's fleeting gaze, ensured compliance. Breaching it would invite Morax's Stone Punishment and Raiden Makoto's Eternal Radiance.

Reisen Riou returned to Inazuma City, presenting the treaty to Narukami's clone—not her true self, off wandering again. "Lady Narukami, here's the treaty."

"Good. Dismissed," the clone said curtly.

Instead of heading home, he went to the Fifth Scribe's Office. After over a month away, paperwork had piled up, but his team had handled two-thirds, even drafting seventy-plus reports. "You're this efficient now?" he asked, clearing the rest in half an hour.

His clerks glared with dead-fish eyes, silently cursing their inability to finish before their "birdman" boss returned. Sensing their resentment, Reisen Riou chuckled awkwardly. "The credit's yours. Pick someone to deliver the reports to Narukami." He slipped out.

At his residence, he began designing an agricultural machine—fruit-picking, seeding, weeding, harvesting, all modular, craftable by blacksmiths except for low-yield chips, software, and cameras from Ritou Shrine. Entrusting it to Reisen Anko, he focused on the nagging déjà vu.

…

A decade-plus later, the déjà vu research yielded nothing. Reisen Riou sensed it tied to a locked memory, inaccessible without a trigger, and nearly gave up, though he still tinkered occasionally.

Khaenri'ah, using his documents, built a learning machine—less efficient than the One System, Ten Thousand Divine Machines but a boost to their talent training. Inazuma remained serene, unchanged for decades.

Reisen Riou met Banna again, now a Great Sage visiting for the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. Nearing eighty, Banna was vibrant, his Life Level hitting LV30+—a peak fueled by Rukkhadevata's blessing, ensuring Sages lived long. Their friendship, deepened by frequent letters despite time and status, thrived in Teyvat's unique environment. They vowed Reisen Riou would visit Sumeru before Banna's retirement.

Banna's son, less gifted, was content in a cushy department, arranged by Banna. His grandson, lacking scholarly talent but excelling in combat and scouting, became a Matra. Banna beamed with pride over him.

Finishing Fifth Scribe duties, Reisen Riou was stopped. "Lord Fifth Scribe—no, Lord Attendant Recorder," an Okuzume bowed.

Two years prior, Reisen Riou became the top candidate to succeed the Fourth Scribe as Attendant Recorder. The role folded faster than expected. "Time to hand over duties," the Okuzume said, leading him to the current Attendant Recorder.

An old friend from years in the Shogunate, the man was usually energetic. Now, bloodshot-eyed and exhausted, he shocked Reisen Riou. "Narukami's better off with you," he said, rushing through work tips before vanishing at Endgame Squad ninja speed.

"Uh…" Reisen Riou scratched his head. Is this job that bad? I'm regretting this. No choice, though. Taking the Attendant Recorder's seal and tools, he was sent to Narukami's side.
