"Repeat what you just said."
"Wh-what."
"Inazuma's Sakoku Decree!"
Keqing suddenly stepped forward, pressing for an answer.
"This... I only heard rumors..." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Actually, I don't know anything!"
Faced with the now serious Yuheng.
The secretary from the Millelith frantically waved her hands.
It's over.
Did she say something wrong?
There's a legend between the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Millelith.
Once you encounter the Yuheng with a furrowed brow.
And she happens to be staring at you.
Then congratulations, you'll most likely be pulled into overtime.
But it's already late at night.
No, not that!
"Lady Yuheng, what is it?"
The poor, helpless Millelith secretary asked softly.
"I..."
Keqing was startled by the question, her expression shifting slightly.
What was wrong with her just now?
Why did she react so strongly?
"Ah—"
Facing curious eyes, Keqing turned her face away unnaturally.
In her hand, she was holding a letter.
A letter from Inazuma.
"Get back to work."
"Goodbye."
With that, she turned and walked quickly towards the Millelith, without waiting for a response from the secretary.
Her twin tails swished, seemingly in a hurry.
If Inazuma were to lift the Sakoku Decree, then...
A certain person who didn't want to come to Liyue flashed through her mind.
This time, you won't escape.
I must find Ganyu and confirm the news thoroughly.
"Lady Yuheng!"
The Millelith secretary stood frozen, staring at the retreating figure with a puzzled expression.
Why would Inazuma be of any concern?
...
The Millelith.
This is the office of Ganyu, secretary to the Liyue Qixing.
Inside, the lights were bright.
A woman was buried under a pile of documents.
Her azure hair cascaded down, and she was exceptionally beautiful.
Her form-fitting qipao further accentuated her excellent figure.
Yet, this woman of ethereal气质,
was now gently closing her eyes, murmuring something.
"Need... to replenish energy..."
The ahoge on her head drooped.
Liyue Harbor, after the incident with the Geo Archon...
She had been working overtime, draining her heart.
Even with her half-adeptus body, she was about to collapse.
"Tap."
A document slipped, falling down her black-stockinged legs to the floor.
"Ah—"
Ganyu startled awake, looking around drowsily.
Hopefully, no one is here.
If anyone saw her dozing off, then...
Just then, the sound of high heels approaching could be heard.
"Ganyu!"
The next moment, the door was pushed open.
Keqing burst in, clapping her hands on the desk.
As expected of the Yuheng, with her exceptional execution.
"Yuheng? What's wrong?"
Ganyu's ahoge perked up, and she quickly asked.
Her pen was scribbling in the air,
as if she had been diligently working just moments ago.
"This isn't work this time."
Keqing paused, shaking her head.
She crossed her arms and asked casually:
"Inazuma's Sakoku Decree..."
"Eh?"
Ganyu blinked, looking astonished.
Keqing wasn't talking about work.
Was she still dreaming?
However, Ganyu quickly recovered.
"Ah, you mean that."
Ganyu retrieved a document from her desk.
This news had already been confirmed by the Millelith.
Inazuma was about to reopen.
Keqing took it and read it carefully.
Her purple eyes flickered, not missing a single detail.
"Keqing?"
Ganyu tilted her head in confusion.
Keqing's expression was very strange.
She usually only made that expression when looking at maps of places she was about to visit...
"Is there someone you care about in Inazuma?"
Miss Ganyu, still groggy, asked instinctively.
"Ahem—"
Keqing put away the document, seemingly not hearing the question.
"?"
Just as Ganyu was wondering,
Keqing changed the subject:
"How is the salvage operation for the Jade Chamber proceeding?"
The battle against Osial had destroyed one Jade Chamber.
Ningguang, the Tianquan, was now organizing efforts to salvage it.
After all, there were many treasures inside.
"Overall, it's going well, but there's still one sea area..."
Ganyu sighed, looking a bit troubled.
There were monsters there, and it was close to Inazuma.
That part of the work was the most troublesome.
"Let me go."
Keqing came to Ganyu's side and said earnestly.
"But if that's the case..."
"It's alright, I can work overtime."
As she spoke, Keqing took out a letter.
The letter, with a few creases, clearly had been written a while ago.
Ganyu took it, her beautiful eyes widening slightly.
She exclaimed in surprise: "Yuheng, you're requesting leave?"
"That's right, I'm requesting leave."
"A long leave!"
Keqing flicked her twin tails and snorted.
She had been working overtime for so long that she had accumulated a considerable amount of leave.
Once this job was done, the Sakoku Decree would likely be lifted.
To a certain pen pal who refused to come to Liyue.
Are you ready?
Qin Yu: *Achoo!*
"Is this the reason you've been working overtime so much lately..."
"More or less, I want to get out and relax."
Ganyu nodded silently, making a few notes.
After a moment of thought, she raised her head again.
"I will try to contact Inazuma."
"If the Inazuma Shogunate is willing to send someone to meet you."
"I'm sure it will be of some help."
I heard that beside the Inazuma Archon.
There's a man who can represent her will.
What kind of person would he be...
Keqing smiled upon hearing this, "Thank you."
No matter who it was, it wouldn't make a difference.
She didn't take it to heart.
"Let's go, no more sitting around."
Keqing took Ganyu's hand, about to walk out.
"Ah? Where are we going?"
"My treat, Wanmin Restaurant."
"Th-there... I can't...!"
Miss Ganyu, who didn't want to gain weight, pleaded.
