Genshin Impact: Can’t the executive just give up?

Compared with the other two families, the Kamisato family, which is governed by the community, is relatively weak.

Of course, this does not refer to social status, but family influence.

Unlike the Kujo family and the Hiiragi family, which have expanded into many branches, the Kamisato family now only has Kamisato Ayaka and her brother.

Although her brother Kamisato Ayato is politically savvy and manages the society in an orderly manner, Kamisato Ayaka herself has always been the face of the society and is the famous "White Egret Princess".

But everyone knows that no matter how glorious the Kamisato family is, there are only two of them left now. As long as they can find a way to bring down any one of them, the Kamisato family will suffer a heavy blow.

There are many prominent families of all sizes within Inazuma, far more than the three great families of the Three Magistrates, and Kamisato Ayaka is always on guard against power struggles between the noble families.

As for the man in front of me...

"Uh, hello?" Finding that Kamisato Ayaka didn't say anything, Rhine had to take the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere.

The girl, as graceful as an egret, smiled gently: "Monsters occasionally appear in the Guardian Forest, and there are more and more monsters recently. If you have nothing to do, please don't walk around here."

Rhine nodded: "I'm new to Inazuma, and I do plan to take a look at the features here. Thank you for reminding me."

"Huh? This gentleman is not from Inazuma?" Kamisato Ayaka was a little confused.

This person's attire is clearly the standard Inazuma style.

"Haha, my name is Rhine, from Zhidong. I just came to Inazuma by boat recently. I have heard rumors about the monster guarding the forest a long time ago, so I came here to see it." Rhine replied.

"I see. I'm sorry for being rude." Kamisato Ayaka said softly.

She introduced herself: "I am Kamisato Ayaka, please give me your guidance."

Since Rhine was the guest, Kamisato Ayaka took the initiative and asked questions first, which she thought was a bit impolite.

"Don't worry about it, Miss Kamisato. We, the people of Zhidong, don't talk about such things." Rhine waved his hand.

Kamisato Ayaka was curious when she saw Rhine's clothes: "Mr. Rhine is from the winter, but he is wearing Inazuma clothes..."

"Oh, just follow the local customs." Rhine didn't explain further.

"Before I came to Inazuma, I had visited many countries, including the free Mondstadt, the prosperous Liyue, and now Inazuma is my third stop."

"So that's how it is." Hearing that Rhine had been to so many places, Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but feel curious.

In the eyes of the world, she is a dignified and gentle lady of the society, and a quiet and friendly Egret Princess.

But in fact, Kamisato Ayaka's heart is also full of yearning for the outside world.

"Kamisato family... If I remember correctly, you should be the company's magistrate, right?" Rhine chatted.

"Mr. Rhine is right. I do follow the instructions of the society." Linghua answered gently, but she felt a little disappointed.

Inazuma's geographical location is not advantageous, and there are even fewer foreigners coming here than in Liyue Port. As the Egret Princess, she can come into contact with even fewer outsiders.

Coupled with the recent lockdown order, foreigners are basically restricted to outlying islands, and only a very small number of people can come to Narukami Island.

She wanted to take this opportunity to listen to Rhine talk about what happened in the outside world, but her identity was revealed.

People know that she is the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, so they treat her like an eldest daughter, rather than as an equal with whom they can talk about everything.

"Oh, the position of a young lady must be very tiring. After all, someone is watching your every word and action, and you cannot do anything out of line." Rhine stretched and spoke with emotion.

He suddenly thought of his days as an executive officer. In order to maintain his dignity, he always wore a black robe or cloak, and often wore a mask when appearing in front of outsiders.

Although Rhine has gotten used to it, it still feels a bit tiring.

"Is that what you think, Mr. Rhine?" Kamisato Ayaka asked, touching her chest.

"Of course it is so. I want to be more free, but I am always bound by many rules. Even playing a joke on my subordinates will be regarded as a test." Rhine scratched his head, having a deep understanding of this.

For example, last time he was bored, he asked Leonid, who was so skilled in martial arts, whether he had ever considered giving up his identity as a Fatui and making a name for himself in the treasure-stealing group.

But Leonid expressed his loyalty to him in a trembling voice and politely asked him not to test him.

"Forget it, goodbye, Miss Kamisato. It's almost time. I still have to go to Inazuma Castle." Feeling that he and Kamisato Ayaka didn't have much to talk about, Rhine prepared to leave.

"Please, please wait a moment." Linghua suddenly called him.

"It just so happens that I also need to go to the city, why don't we go together?"

She was just about to ask what major events had happened recently in the world outside Rhine, and if possible, she wanted to talk to him more.

"Oh? Okay." Rhine naturally had nothing to do and walked directly south.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Rhine, there is no road to the south." Seeing Rhine walking in the wrong direction, Kamisato Ayaka hurriedly stopped him.

The Guardian Forest is separated from Inazuma Castle by a shallow sea and there is no access. The correct route should be to go west around Konda Village and then enter the castle from the White Fox Field.

"I know, but the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Since we are in a hurry, we should naturally choose a faster way." Rhine left with a smile.

"Eh?" Although Kamisato Ayaka was a little confused, she still gripped the hilt of the knife and followed Rhine to the coast.

"Mr. Rhine, I won't lie to you. There is really no road here." Kamisato Ayaka said helplessly when they arrived at the southernmost end of the Guardian Forest and looked at Inazuma Castle across the sea.

“For ordinary people, that’s true.”

Rhine responded softly, looked at the calm waves, and stepped into the water.

The soles of his shoes stepped on the water surface, but did not go straight into the water and be soaked by the sea water as Kamisato Ayaka had expected. Instead, they stepped steadily on the water surface.

Kamisato Ayaka opened her eyes wide: "Hey, this is..."

"Hey, hey, hey, you also have the God's Eye, why are you making such a fuss?" Rhine looked at Kamisato Ayaka's surprised expression and couldn't help but find it a little funny.

"Ice and water elements freeze into solid ice, which can help you walk on the water. This is the basic element theory. You must know it, right?"

"Of course I know." Kamisato Ayaka replied.

However, relying on the power of the Eye of God to travel on the water was obviously not in line with the etiquette she had known since childhood, and this was what made her hesitate.

"Pfft, there's no one around here. No one will notice that the noble Princess Shiraha is skating like a naughty child." Rhine couldn't help laughing when he saw Kamisato Ayaka's hesitation.

"Well, okay, I understand." Kamisato Ayaka's expression seemed as if she had made up her mind. She nodded hard, her feet covered with ice elemental power, and her wooden clogs stepped on the slightly undulating sea surface.
