Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

In Kamisato House, everything was quiet late at night, with only the bright moonlight shining through the window onto the floor.

Kamisato Ayaka lay quietly in the bed, wearing Inazuma's traditional nightgown, with her eyes closed and a faint smile on the corners of her mouth, as if she was having a sweet dream.

Her peaceful sleeping posture reveals an indescribable beauty of tranquility that makes people reluctant to disturb her.

Thomas hurried back at this time, his hand had already touched the door, but he restrained his impulse and did not break into the room directly.

With a respectful attitude, he softly called out from outside the door: "Miss, I have an urgent matter to report! Something big has happened!"

Kamisato Ayaka was disturbed by the sudden call in her sleep. She frowned slightly, slowly opened her hazy eyes and woke up.

Thomas' voice sounded again, his tone sounding very anxious and nervous.

"Miss, this is urgent. I didn't mean to disturb your sleep, but this matter is of great importance. I must tell you immediately. Please forgive my rudeness."

Kamisato Ayaka struggled to sit up from her sleepiness. She rubbed her eyes, covered her mouth with her hands, and yawned deeply.

Then, with a heavy hint of sleepiness in his voice, he asked, "What happened that made you so panicked, Thomas?"

Thomas heard Kamisato Ayaka wake up and whispered through the door, "Shao Yun, destroy the Hiiragi family who are in charge of Kanjo Bugyo."

Although the voice was light, it was like a heavy hammer hitting Kamisato Ayaka's heart.

She was still immersed in a hazy sleep, but this sentence was like a basin of cold water poured on her head, waking her up instantly.

Her sleepiness was swept away, her eyes widened, she quickly threw off the quilt, and rushed to the door in her nightgown and with messy hair.

He opened the door, looked at Thomas in shock, and asked anxiously, "Thoma, what did you say? The Hiiragi family, who was in charge of the Kanjo Bugyo, was destroyed by Shao Yun!"

Thomas looked at Kamisato Ayaka with disheveled hair and wearing a nightgown, and said softly, "Miss, why don't you wash up and change your clothes first..."

However, Kamisato Ayaka interrupted him anxiously, she was not in the mood to care about her appearance now.

"There's no time for this. Tell me what happened in detail."

Thomas took a deep breath and began to describe the thrilling incident in detail.

He described how the Kanjo Bugyo's men burned down the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce, how the Hiiragi family was wiped out by Shao Yun's rage, and how Shao Yun fought his way out of the outlying island.

Thomas finally focuses on the tragic situation of the Hiiragi family.

He said with a heavy face: "The entire Hiiragi family is littered with corpses. I heard from Ying that only two people escaped. The rest should all be dead..."

Having said this, he paused. The bloody and horrific scene in his memory still made his stomach ache.

Then he continued, "Moreover, Shao Yun also said that if we fool him again, the fate of the Hiiragi family will be the same as our Kamisato family..." After saying that, he looked at Kamisato Ayaka worriedly.

After hearing this, Kamisato Ayaka's face turned pale as paper. She was woken up, and the sudden news was beyond her psychological endurance.

He was so angry that he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, his legs went limp, and he lost his support.

He was so frightened that he fainted, and his body fell limply onto the tatami floor.

Thomas saw this and his face turned pale. He shouted in panic, "Miss! Someone come quickly! Miss has fainted!"

……

Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng rode through the pastoral Konda Village, then through the White Fox Field where foxes roamed, and finally arrived at the outskirts of Inazuma Castle.

As night fell, most of the residents of Inazuma Castle had fallen into a deep sleep. Only a few restaurants and the Adventurer's Guild had their lights on, and the night watchmen of the Tenryo Bugyo were patrolling the streets.

Shao Yun took Ying and Paimeng off the horses, put the horses into the system's mobile stables, and then walked into Inazuma City.

Following the address on the invitation letter, they first crossed the Hanamizaka area, walked along the bridge, and came to the town street.

The invitation said that Mulou Tea House was nearby.

At the entrance of Mulou Teahouse, a waitress named "Shao" wearing traditional Inazuma costume is on night shift.

She saw three strangers, Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng, approaching, and went up to them, asking politely, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

Shao would never say such things in the past, but Thomas had urged her to use this tactic a few days ago, saying it could save her life.

"Hello, Thomas asked us to come here and also gave me an invitation letter. Take a look." As he said that, Shao Yun handed the invitation letter to Shao.

After receiving the invitation, Kozue carefully examined it and said, "Let me see the family seal of the Kamisato family and the seal of the shrine magistrate."

She then glanced at Shao Yun and asked, "Excuse me, are your names Shao Yun, Ying, and Paimeng?"

Shao Yun nodded and replied, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Shao returned the invitation letter to Shao Yun and said respectfully, "Mr. Thomas asked me to arrange the best room for you three. Please follow me."

Shao brought Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng into the Mulou Tea House, and saw that the Shiba Inu 'Taromaru' on the counter immediately woke up from his sleep, sat up and looked at the newcomers curiously.

Kozue introduced the three people: "The one sitting at the counter is our boss 'Taromaru'. Don't mistake him for an ordinary puppy."

Shao Yun looked at Taromaru and recalled the little prince at the Cat's Tail Tavern, where the cat took an attacking stance upon seeing him, and he was curious about how the little dog would react.

But now is not the time to play with the dog. There will be plenty of time to play with the dog later.

Shao led the three people into a room. The decoration of this room was completely different from the other rooms.

The floor is covered with wooden floors, which make a crisp sound when you step on them.

There are two soft big beds in the room, covered with white sheets and quilts, unlike the ordinary Inazuma-style houses where people have to sleep on the floor.

An exquisite mahogany table was placed beside the bed, on which was placed exquisite tea sets.

What is most eye-catching is that the walls are covered with various paintings, including landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, etc. Each painting shows exquisite craftsmanship and unique artistic charm.

Shao smiled and explained to the three people: "This is Mr. Thomas's special instruction. He is worried that you are not used to the Inazuma-style room, so he specially asked us to renovate this room. He hopes that you can live comfortably."

Shao Yun looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and commented: "Although Thomas is slow in his work, the accommodation he arranged is indeed good."

Shao asked gently, "Excuse me, three guests, is there anything I can help you with?"

Shao Yun smiled and shook his head at her, then took off his hat to express his gratitude.

"No, thank you for leading us."

Shao bowed slightly and said politely, "You're welcome. If you need anything, please let me know. Good night." After that, she turned and left the room, going back outside to continue her night shift.

Ying and Paimon excitedly jumped onto the soft bed, feeling the comfortable touch.

"Wow! It feels so good!"

"What should we do next?" Paimon asked curiously.

Shao Yun sat on a chair, admiring the interior of the room, and replied: "Next, let's have a good rest. We will talk about the things during the day."

……

On the other side, inside Kamisato's house.

At this time, Kamisato Ayaka was lying in her bedroom with her eyes closed, her face as pale as paper, a few drops of cold sweat on her forehead, and she was in a coma.

Beside her, there were several servants of the Kamisato family who were busy taking care of her.

One of the servants held an ice towel in his hand and carefully applied it to Kamisato Ayaka's forehead.

Another servant brought a cup of warm water, gently lifted up Kamisato Ayaka's body, and handed the cup to her mouth.

Under the careful care of the servants, Kamisato Ayaka finally slowly opened her eyes. A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, but she soon regained clarity.

She then thanked the servants and signaled that they could leave.

When all the servants left the room, Kamisato Ayaka suddenly called Thomas and said she wanted to talk to him alone.

Thomas walked respectfully in front of Kamisato Ayaka, lowered his head and said nothing.

At this time, Kamisato Ayaka looked a little haggard, with her hair scattered on her shoulders and only a thin nightgown on her body.

She rubbed her temples gently with her hands, a worried look on her face.

"If that's the case, it will be troublesome."

Thomas looked at Kamisato Ayaka, who looked very melancholy, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but stopped. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't.

Kamisato Ayaka noticed the change in Thomas's expression, and there was a hint of doubt and curiosity in her eyes. She asked softly, "Thomas, although we are master and servant, privately, we are friends, and we can talk straight."

Thomas took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to answer: "Miss, with all due respect, this test... let's just forget about it."

After saying this, he entangled his hands nervously together, waiting for Kamisato Ayaka's response.

Kamisato Ayaka frowned slightly, tapped her head lightly, and fell into deep thought.

After some thought, Kamisato Ayaka sighed softly.

"Well, he dared to destroy the Hiiragi family and rushed out of the encirclement of the Kanjo Bugyo samurai. He is indeed capable enough."

The test is over, but there is a more serious problem.

Kamisato Ayaka said with a worried look on her face: "But another purpose of the test is to make them resonate and sympathize with the situation in Inazuma. If we can't let them look at the Eye Hunting Order from the perspective of the Inazuma people, how can we expect them to help us wholeheartedly..."

Thomas pursed his lips slightly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he said, "Miss, I have something to say, I don't know if it's appropriate."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded in agreement, with anticipation in her eyes:

"Well, go ahead, do you have any ideas?"

Toma took a deep breath and recalled a conversation he had with Miss Yomiuri of the Naganohara Fireworks Shop a few months ago.

"Ms. Xiao Gong from the Naganohara Fireworks Shop once told me that language has great power and many problems often stem from poor communication. As long as you can express your ideas honestly, many problems can be solved."

Kamisato Ayaka had already guessed it in her mind, and asked, "So, Thomas, what you mean is..."

Thomas mustered up his courage and said, "How about we have a frank talk with Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng? Whether it's about discussing the resistance to the Eye Hunting Order or helping them meet the general, we should at least give them an explanation. Otherwise, if Shao Yun gets angry, he really dares..."

After listening to this, Kamisato Ayaka nodded thoughtfully and said, "Thomas, you are right. I have made a mistake. I will change my clothes right now and then we will go to the Mulou Teahouse. I want to meet these three travelers from foreign countries in person."
