"Thoma, you can take me to the toilet first, Paimon Shenhe, you wait for me here for a while." Ying's heart actually had a faint expectation of the answer in Thomas's mouth.

So she pushed Paimon and Shenhe to confirm in advance. If it's really Anping... That can't be known to Shenhe.

At least Shenhe can't be let know until Anping's whereabouts are confirmed. Whether in Mondstadt or Liyue, the Anping guy is always at the center of the maelstrom of events.

Thinking of the brilliant firelight in the sky above Inazuma that day, Ying always had a bad premonition.

"This way, please." Thoma was very gentlemanly and led the way in front.

"Alright, here it goes." After turning a corner through a long corridor, making sure Shenhe and Paimon couldn't hear them, Ying stops Thoma.

"Ahh Traveller... You can't go anywhere here—" Thoma's expression was seven points of surprise and three points of distress.

"Huh?" Ying was stunned for a second, then realized that her words had misunderstood Thoma.

"That's not what I meant! I asked you to bring me over not really wanting to go to the toilet! I want to ask you, Thoma, do you know this man? Ying pulled out the crumpled wanted notice from her pocket, unfolded it, and pointed to the crumpled face and asked.

"So traveler, you want to ask this... Scared me... But I really didn't expect you to find a clue on the outlying islands so quickly, traveler... Of course I know the person on the wanted warrant. Thoma wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and didn't sell Guan Zi to avoid Ying's problem.

The performance just now was just a joke with the traveler, and it was intentional not to say anything about it before.

Ying's performance since entering the city has already fallen into Thoma's eyes, and Thoma discovers that she seems to be hiding Anping's information from the two friends around her.

Although I don't know why, Thoma naturally won't go to dismantle the Traveler's Desk.

"Thoma, do you really know each other?! Do you know what this person's name is? Ying's hand grasped the crumpled wanted warrant with some nervousness.

She was worried about Thoma's answer

"Wanted notices are posted everywhere, who doesn't know him in Inazuma City."

"Of course I really know, he has changed his makeup and looks very much like you the traveler, claiming to be called Sora, claiming to be your brother... But in front of the eldest lady, he said his real name... His name is Anping, and he's a traveler, your apprentice, right? Thoma didn't hide it from the traveler, and told all the identities about Anping in 1510.

Ying was stunned for a moment. It's true... It's true... It's really Anping... He's really alive... Scenes from the past instantly surfaced in Ying's mind.

"Where is he now?!" Ying wanted to be as calm as possible, but her heartbeat spouted uncontrollably.

"As for this... Traveler, you calm down a little bit, it may take a while for the eldest lady to explain to you in detail... What I know so far is that Mr. Anpei, who saved Inazuma more than two months ago, is still missing..."Thoma hesitated, but told Ying some of what he knew.

"More than two months ago?! What the hell is going on?! Ying instantly recalled the burning sky of Inazuma that night on the roof of the building.

Even the light of the fire that could be seen from such a distance in Mondstadt Liyue, what happened to Inazuma at that time?

Why did Anpei save Inazuma... And his whereabouts are still unknown... Could it be that ... Ying's originally excited mood was instantly splashed with a basin of ice water, and she suddenly began to be a little scared.

I finally heard the news that he was still alive... Shouldn't I hear about his death again before we meet again...

"Traveler, you calm down first, Lord Yae Miyaji of the Narukami Taisha Shrine is very sure that Mr. Yasuhei is still alive, so you don't have to worry. Neither the Narujin Taisha Shrine nor our Kamisato family have given up on finding Mr. Yasuhei's whereabouts... The eldest lady asked me to wait for you on the outlying island, and I was also thinking that maybe as Mr. Anping's master, you would have a way to find Mr. Anping..."Seeing that Ying gradually became lost and emotionally unstable, Thoma hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

"Can you tell me what's going on? Is Anpei's disappearance related to the sky burning in Inazuma that day... Also, why did you say that Anpei saved Inazuma... But what about the wanted notices with his portrait posted everywhere in Inazuma Castle? Ying's heart was full of doubts at the moment, except for worries about Anping.

"That's all I know, and the more detailed things may only be clear to the eldest lady, so traveler, you can sit in the wooden leak tearoom for the time being, and when the eldest lady comes back, I will definitely explain it to you in detail."

"Well... It's just this thing... Don't let my companion know for the time being, otherwise she won't be able to stay so calm, and I don't know what the consequences will be..."Since Thoma said so, Ying could only take a deep breath, temporarily suppress all kinds of emotions in her heart, and then solemnly reminded Thomas.

"I see." Thoma nodded earnestly.

"Let's go, or Paimon might have to wait..."Ying gathered her mood and turned back the way she came.

Before they had taken a few steps, Thoma and Ying suddenly heard the crisp sonorous sound of weapons intersecting. Worst! Shenhe's temper... I guess it's going to be fighting with the Kujou Sara I found!

As soon as she thought of this, Ying immediately quickened her pace. Thoma ran worriedly. As a result, when she returned to the bar at the door of the wooden leaky tea room where she was just now, Ying saw an extremely strange scene.

A big yellow dog with a knife curled in its tail, grinning at Shenhe, who was holding a spear.

Paimon was huddled behind Shenhe, shivering. Shenhe got into a fight with a dog? What's going on?

！ If only Paimon might have figured it out.

"Taro Maru! What happened?! Thoma, who was a little later than Ying, was also stunned for a second, but reacted faster than Ying, and asked the dog.

"yes, Shenhe, what's going on?" Because the scene of Shenhe and the dog confronting him is too surreal, Ying only reacts after hearing Thoma's questioning.

But why did Thoma ask a dog first?! Yingwen looked at Thoma even more confused after speaking.

"Wang! Barking! Taro Maru screamed twice, his eyes looking at Paimon behind Shenhe.

"Oh oh oh, I see... You can't do that, they are our guests. Thoma actually walked over as if he could understand what the dog was saying, squatted down and rubbed the dog's head with Taro Maru.

"Shenhe... What the hell is going on?! "Yingke can't understand the barking of dogs.

"I don't know, I just saw that the dog wanted to attack Paimon, so I gang Meng blocked it." Shenhe didn't know what was going on.

But for the sake of a dog, she didn't really do anything, but the gang blocked Taro Maru's attack, so it looked like she was confronting the dog.

"Paimon! What did you do! Ying frowned and looked at Paimon.

"I... I was just curious to look behind the bar... There's a box that I just wanted to open to see... As a result, the dog suddenly jumped out with a knife..."Paimon was startled by the dog with the knife, and he still hasn't recovered yet.

"Hahaha... Inside that box is Taro Maru's private money, and the box that just sent Momon to move Taro Maru's was taken as a thief by Taro Maru... It's just a misunderstanding. Thoma explained with a smile.

"Private money!? Are they all bones?! How could I, Paimon, go and steal the bones?! Paimon felt as if he was being looked down upon by a dog, and his mouth furrowed in dissatisfaction.

"Wang?! Woohoo! Taro Maru also felt as if he was being looked down upon by Paimon.

"Hahaha... Taro Maru is the owner of this wooden leaky tea room, how can it be a bone in the box? There must be more than 100,000 Mora in there..."Thoma helped Taro Maru translate.

"What?!" Paimon and Ying were both shocked, but Shenhe didn't react, except for Anping, there was nothing to make her mood ripple now.

Paimon, in particular. She found that a dog had more Mora than she did. She quietly hid Mora for so long, and there were no more than 100,000.

It's better to be peaceful, every time I sneak a little gift from Anping, there are more than tens of thousands of Mora... Whining... Paimon wants to be at peace again.

"I really didn't expect you to be the owner of the Wood Leak Tea Room..."Ying squatted down and looked at the fat Shiba Inu in surprise.

It feels so cute. I really want to raise one in the dust song pot...

"Whew... When the children saw me running down the street, they ran with me and almost tripped over them... It's good that I wasn't caught by the guys who were enshrined in the Heavenly Domain..."The wooden leakage tearoom suddenly rushed in, a girl who was half-dressed in a yukata and half naked on her outer chest, wrapped in a bandage, and didn't go naked.

Even Ying, who has seen many bold outfits, thinks that the girl's clothes are really a bit avant-garde. Are those bandages really not going to fall apart?

"It's just a pity that this big firework is still not as good as the one I saw before... If it's that firework... Even in broad daylight, you can see clearly and feel the splendor of the fireworks..."The girl took a few breaths as soon as she entered the door, and then muttered to herself, as if she didn't care at all about the extra few unfamiliar faces in the wooden leaky tea room.

She still haunts the night when her fireworks were engulfed in the explosion of the Mikage furnace core. I vow that I must make a super-super-large jade-level firework that surpasses the explosion of the Mikage furnace core, which can be seen by the entire Inazuma and even other countries.

The fireworks set off in the Kujo family's territory today were just experiments.

"By the way, Thoma... You're going to have to apologize to Miss Kujou Sara for helping me in the future... I don't want the shogunate to go to the Naganohara fireworks shop and ask this and that, it will scare children. Yoimiya shook her head and looked at Thoma.

"Hahaha... Yoimiya has helped a lot this time, and we will take care of the aftermath, and it will definitely not affect the Naganohara fireworks shop. After reassuring Yoimiya, Thoma introduced Ying to Yoimiya.

"Yoimiya, these are the guests who came all the way from Liyue with Big Sister Beidou."

"Oh yes! I forgot to introduce myself.,I, Yoimiya.,I'm the current manager of the Inazuma Naganohara fireworks shop.,I usually make a living by doing some small crafts.,Take care of a lot! Yoimiya's personality looks very lively, in stark contrast to Shinzuki, who barely speaks a word and has a dull gaze.

"Hello, my name is Paimon, I'm Ying's best friend, and this is our friend, called Shenhe... We're glad to meet you! With Paimon here, Ying felt like her language module was about to degenerate.

"Since you're from Liyue, you've seen a lot of new fireworks in the birthplace of fireworks! Can you tell me about it if you have a chance? Yoimiya looked at them with curiosity, it had been a long time since Yoimiya had seen a foreigner in Inazuma Castle since the lockdown order.

"Since we all know each other, let's talk first, I'll pick up the eldest lady first... Taro Maru, let's go and make a pot of tea for the guests. ”

"Wow!" Thoma rubbed Taro Maru's dog head and got up to take his leave. After coming out of the wooden leaky tea room, some worry appeared in Thoma's eyes.

The eldest lady suddenly received an urgent letter and left, it's been so long, is there some trouble?

Otherwise, I know that the traveler has arrived in Inazuma Castle today... She should have been back a long time ago... Thoma was a little worried about the eldest lady and decided to look for it along the road to Kamisato Yashiki.

After all, whether it's the eldest lady or the head of the family... He has been assassinated countless times so far.

By the way, I also told the eldest lady in advance that I wouldn't mention Mr. Anping's matter in front of my fellow travelers for the time being... However, as soon as Thoma reached the gate of the city, he saw Kamisato Ayaka coming in under the welcome of the residents.

"Miss, why have you been there for so long, have you encountered something?" Thoma hurriedly greeted him.

"That's right... Go to Tsurukan to find Mr. Anping's team... Lost contact. Kamisato Ayaka smiled and nodded in return to everyone, and at the same time, her expression remained unchanged and she whispered to Thoma about the situation she had just encountered.

As the eldest lady of the Kamisato family, she must not leak a drop of water, otherwise she may reveal some rumors at any time.

"Lost contact?!" Thoma only raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, so I had to go to the Narujin Shrine again, and ask Miyaji-sama to find Sayu, and send her to Tsurukan to investigate the situation..."

"With Sayu's escape technique... There shouldn't be any more problems... I really hope Mr. Anping will really be there... Otherwise, the whole Inazuma would have been searched... I can't think of anywhere else to find him. ”

"Anyway, let's wait until Sayu comes back, I'll go meet the traveler first." Ayaka put an end to the topic for the time being.

At this time, there were bursts of low beast roars from the mist. In the mist-covered canyon, a dragon-like beast hovered over the peak, gently licking a blackened and broken body.
