Genshin Impact: What, the one we need to save is Focalors?

Narukami Island.

In the main hall of the Kanjou Commission office, Hiiragi Shinsuke clenched a letter tightly in his hands, his face a mask of dark fury, his heart ablaze with anger.

He suddenly exerted his strength, tearing the letter to shreds, and roared in rage, "Kujou Takayuki, that shameless old fox! How dare he humiliate me so!"

Just then, a graceful figure appeared at the entrance.

It was a young woman with a refined and elegant face.

Dressed in a light blue kimono, she walked gracefully, her every step exuding innate dignity.

She spoke softly, inquiring, "Father, what has happened to make you so angry?"

Seeing his beloved daughter, Hiiragi Shinsuke's mood calmed slightly.

However, the contents of the letter reignited his fury, and he said to his daughter with resentment, "Chisato, you must have heard about the complete destruction of the Kujou Encampment, haven't you?"

Hiiragi Chisato nodded. "Yes, the people of Narukami Island have been talking about it recently. It is said that a sea monster passing by destroyed the Kujou Encampment."

Hiiragi Shinsuke snorted dismissively. "That's just a lie fabricated by the Tenryou Commission to appease the people. The truth is, a Fontaine ship used cannons to completely destroy the Kujou Encampment."

Hearing this, Hiiragi Chisato's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "This… how is this possible? Without the guidance of our Kanjou Commission, how could a foreign ship navigate through that area of thunderstorms?

Moreover, the defenses of the Kujou Encampment are so strong, how could cannons have such power?"

Hiiragi Shinsuke sighed helplessly. "It's hard to believe, but it's the truth. Fontaine's technology has far surpassed Inazuma's."

"Father, we must report this to the Shogun immediately." Hiiragi Chisato's voice was filled with fervent reverence for the Raiden Shogun. "As long as she unleashes the Musou no Hitotachi, that Fontaine ship will surely be reduced to ashes under the might of her lightning."

Hiiragi Shinsuke sighed deeply. "What if… she can no longer unleash the Musou no Hitotachi that can destroy ships?"

Hiiragi Chisato froze in shock. "This… how is this possible? She is the most powerful and revered embodiment of thunder in this world, the Electro Archon among the Seven Archons."

Hiiragi Shinsuke's eyes became deep and complex.

Once, he, like his daughter, had held deep admiration for the Raiden Shogun, vowing to become a steadfast guardian of her eternal will.

But as time passed and he had more contact with the Raiden Shogun, he gradually discovered a terrible truth.

After a brief silence, he spoke slowly, "Last month, a commoner samurai initiated a duel before the Shogun, but ultimately died at the hands of the Raiden Shogun.

However, Kaedehara Kazuha suddenly appeared before the Raiden Shogun, snatched the Vision, and successfully escaped."

He paused, turning his gaze to Hiiragi Chisato. "Do you understand what this means?"

Hiiragi Chisato's heart trembled, her face turning pale. The Raiden Shogun might really be unable to unleash the Musou no Hitotachi that could cut down everything.

"Father, is the Tenryou Commission just letting that Fontaine ship go?" she asked in a trembling voice.

The fire in Hiiragi Shinsuke's heart blazed up again. "Of course not. That old fool Kujou Takayuki is demanding that our Kanjou Commission negotiate compensation!"

These words filled Hiiragi Chisato with unprecedented humiliation and sorrow.

As the victims, they were being forced to compensate the invaders.

And what was even more tragic was that the Tenryou Commission was submissive to outsiders but ruthless to its own people.

Hiiragi Chisato said emotionally, "Father, we must not succumb to the Tenryou Commission's unreasonable demands!"

"I will naturally not give in easily." Hiiragi Shinsuke's eyes revealed determination and resolve. "They are afraid, but the Kanjou Commission will never back down. Don't forget, I have powerful support behind me. As long as I ask that person to take action, we can definitely deal with that Fontaine ship."

Hiiragi Chisato's sorrow deepened.

Fontaine was a fierce wolf, and that person was a cruel bear.

…

A few days later, Yide, Chiori, and Yae Miko arrived on Yashiori Island together.

As soon as they stepped onto this land, the entire sky was shrouded in dark clouds, with lightning flashing everywhere, like a scene of doomsday.

They had just gained their footing when a small, thin figure quickly approached them.

It was a little boy who looked only five or six years old. He wore a tattered straw hat and was so thin that it seemed a gust of wind could blow him away.

Despite this, he still tried his best to run up to the three of them.

"Huff… huff… travelers from afar, do you need Crystal Marrow?" the little boy asked breathlessly, while taking out a crystal that kept emitting a strange light from his dirty hands.

The little boy continued, "This shiny ore can be sold for at least 500,000 Mora in Liyue. But I'll only sell it to you for 60,000 Mora. It's very cheap."

His eyes sparkled with anticipation and longing.

Looking at this thin little boy, Yide couldn't help but recall his previous life, when he had been swindled out of a lot of Mora by him.

He shook his head gently. He bent down and said to the little boy in a calm tone, "This thing is called Crystal Marrow. It's a relatively common ore on the island. It contains the aura of evil spirits. Prolonged contact is bad for your health. I advise you not to use this thing to deceive people anymore."

After hearing Yide's words, the light of anticipation in the little boy's eyes gradually dimmed. He silently put the Crystal Marrow back into his pocket, then turned and walked to a corner, quietly waiting for the next foreigner to arrive.

Chiori and Yae Miko stood aside, their faces showing embarrassment and displeasure.
