The samurai looked down with a commanding tone, ordering the man to hand over his Vision.
"If you think you can resist the Vision Hunt Decree using elemental power, you'd better sober up."
"You know what happened to those who tried before... None of them ended well. You're just asking for trouble."
The man was clearly terrified and began begging for mercy.
"Please spare me! I just got this Vision not long ago. I swear I won't use it, alright...?"
Having just witnessed the incident involving Kurosawa and the other two, Lumine's disgust for the Vision Hunt Decree had grown even stronger.
As she was considering how to intervene, she suddenly heard someone whispering from behind the house, "Hey~ Wait, wait..."
Mu Yang turned around and saw that it was Yoimiya.
"Over here, over here! Come quick!"
[My wife Yoimiya finally appears!]
[If I could reincarnate, I'd want to be the bandages wrapped around her.]
[Wow, such a purposeful close-up shot—I like it.]
[That tattoo though, nice.]
[You're looking at the tattoo? I don't even want to call you out.]
Lumine and the other two arrived at the small courtyard of Naganohara Fireworks.
"Were you calling us?"
Yoimiya nodded. "Don't get worked up, just watch the show."
Lumine studied Yoimiya, puzzled. How could she be like this?
Doesn't she know the consequences of losing a Vision?
Is she just an ordinary person taking pleasure in others' misfortune?
That can't be right.
Then Lumine noticed the Vision at Yoimiya's waist.
Wait, don't you have a Vision too?
"What do we do? That guy just handed over his Vision!" Paimon was practically jumping in anxiety.
Mu Yang whispered, "Don't worry, it's fake."
His answer shocked the other three present.
"Huh? You could tell?!" Yoimiya blurted out before immediately covering her mouth—the samurai hadn't gone far yet.
Mu Yang explained that he was particularly sensitive to energy.
Though it wasn't obvious at a glance, he could still discern that it was a counterfeit.
Once the samurai were gone, the thin man came over to thank Yoimiya.
Thanks to the fake she provided, he managed to fool them and avoid having his Vision confiscated.
After the man left, Yoimiya finally introduced herself to the group.
Once everyone was acquainted, Yoimiya said,
"Judging by your reactions earlier, we're all on the same side, right?"
"Same side?" Paimon was confused.
Seeing Paimon's expression, Yoimiya quickly backtracked.
"Ah, never mind what I just said. Forget about it."
Lumine, however, had already picked up on something.
The Yashiro Commission's resistance against the Vision Hunt Decree was undoubtedly covert—they wouldn't act directly but would instead support or recruit skilled individuals among the people.
The harm caused by the Vision Hunt Decree was something those living in Inazuma would understand all too well.
Yoimiya teased, "You actually considered openly confronting the Tenryou Commission in Inazuma City? That's pretty bold."
"We've just... had some recent experiences that made us rethink the Vision Hunt Decree," Lumine replied.
"Still, your method of handing over fakes is pretty clever."
[LMAO, I did the same thing in high school.]
[Fake model phone, right?]
[Damn, netizens really have all kinds of experiences.]
"Yeah, it avoids a lot of direct conflict. That's how I managed to keep my Vision too."
Yoimiya touched the Vision at her waist.
"Without it, even running my business would be difficult. It's all thanks to Master Masakatsu."
"Master Masakatsu?"
Yoimiya explained, "He's the one who makes these counterfeit Visions."
"He sounds like a kind-hearted craftsman," Paimon remarked.
Mu Yang added, "His craftsmanship is truly exquisite."
Yoimiya sighed. "Master Masakatsu is a good man, but good people don't always get good rewards..."
Mu Yang: "What do you mean?"
Yoimiya: "He was captured by the Tenryou Commission and thrown into prison."
Paimon: "Huh?! How could that happen..."
Lumine asked, "So there won't be any new counterfeit Visions?"
Yoimiya nodded.
At this point, Lumine decided to be straightforward.
"Yoimiya, when you mentioned being on the same side earlier, were you referring to Ayaka?"
Hearing this, Yoimiya finally let her guard down completely.
"Whew... That's a relief. I thought I'd mistaken you or misspoken..."
As it turned out, a few days ago, when Lumine and Kamisato Ayaka were touring Inazuma City together, Yoimiya had already noticed them.
The fact that Lady Kamisato was willing to accompany an outsider around the city the entire time meant there was a high chance Lumine was an ally she had recruited.
But Paimon's earlier reaction had made Yoimiya doubt herself.
Now that they were on the same page, things became much easier.
In the past, Lumine might not have been interested in such matters.
But now? Whoever opposed the Vision Hunt Decree would have the famous Traveler lending a hand.
Yoimiya revealed that she had been planning a prison break these past few days.
She was just worried that rushing in recklessly might cause trouble for Lady Kamisato and the others.
Lumine pondered, "Could Ayaka's sudden departure this morning be related to this?"
Speculating wouldn't help, so the group headed to Komore Teahouse.
By now, the staff there knew Lumine's identity and treated her with great respect, promptly fulfilling her requests.
The message was quickly relayed to the Kamisato Estate through a special channel.
The four drank tea while waiting.
Before long, someone pushed open the door of Komore Teahouse.
But it wasn't Kamisato Ayaka—it was Thoma.
"Why is it you, Thoma?"
"No need to sound so disappointed, Paimon..."
Jokes aside, Thoma got straight to the point.
Kamisato Ayaka was indeed preparing to rescue Master Masakatsu.
Having Lumine and Mr. Mu Yang's assistance would be a great boon.
Mu Yang didn't mind being included in the plan.
Because this rescue mission wasn't difficult at all.
Kujou Sara wasn't truly that cold-blooded.
As long as Yoimiya and the others went, they could rescue him without any direct confrontation with Sara.
And of course, Mu Yang wouldn't miss a chance to show off.
Yoimiya said that based on her observations over the past few days, she had confirmed that Master Masakatsu was being held at the police station.
She had also scouted the surrounding environment and found an excellent infiltration point.
The group quietly made their way to the hidden passage entrance.
The moment they entered, they could feel the oppressive atmosphere.
"We're finally in. It's way creepier than I imagined..."
"Entering from here, we really didn't attract their attention. Good opportunity."
Yoimiya looked around after speaking.
"Being locked up here must be terrifying. We need to save Master Masakatsu quickly."
"Let's split up. I need to make some preparations to welcome Master Masakatsu."
Mu Yang actually wanted to say that none of this was necessary.
But he let Yoimiya go ahead with it.
From a gameplay perspective, players would need to engage in combat and solve puzzles.
But in Teyvat, Lumine naturally didn't need to do any of that.
Mu Yang knocked out the guards one by one with a single move each.
The three quickly reached the cell where Master Masakatsu was held.
By then, Yoimiya had also finished her preparations and returned.
