Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat
Chapter 223: Kamisato Family Apology Banquet
Time passed quickly like running water, and in the blink of an eye, the clock struck four in the afternoon.
Shao Yun sat leisurely in front of the counter, playing with the store manager "Taro Maru" to kill time.
At this quiet moment, there was a sudden noise outside.
Not long after, Miss Shao walked into the tea room lightly. She walked to Shao Yun's side and said to him respectfully: "Mr. Shao Yun, the sedan chair sent by the master of the family has arrived. Look..."
Shao Yun gently stroked Taromaru's head, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "Ying and Paimon haven't come back yet, let the sedan wait outside."
Miss Shao nodded slightly and replied, "Okay, I'll go tell them to wait a moment."
Just as Miss Shao finished her words, the voice of Paimon, the emergency food, suddenly came from outside.
"Wow, this sedan is so beautiful, Ying, come and take a look!"
When Shao Yun heard Paimeng's voice, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Why did they come back so early today? Is it because Paimon has a keen sense for food? Did they sense that there would be delicious food tonight?"
With such doubts, Shao Yun stood up and left the Mulou Tea House.
When he went out, the first thing he saw was a large sedan chair that required sixteen people to carry.
The sedan chair is magnificent, with four corners raised high and tassels hanging, like a fine work of art.
The curtains of the sedan chair were made of gauze made of the finest neon flowers, embroidered with intricate and exquisite patterns, exuding a noble and elegant atmosphere.
The entire sedan chair sparkled under the sunlight, like a small moving palace, and it looked particularly dazzling.
Sixteen servants of the Kamisato family were wearing uniform clothes and acting as sedan bearers. They stood in an orderly manner at the door, waiting.
In addition, there are twelve samurai who are dressed in armor and armed with weapons. They serve as security personnel and guard around the sedan to ensure that everything is safe.
When Paimeng saw Shao Yun coming out of the house, he immediately flew to him excitedly, grabbed his hand excitedly, pointed at the sedan chair not far away, and said excitedly: "Shao Yun, look, this kind of sedan chair I saw when Ying and I were in Liyue. Only wealthy merchants had it. I didn't expect that we could see such a luxurious sedan chair in Inazuma!"
Shao Yun was then pulled to the sedan chair by Paimeng and met Ying, who was wearing a "cowgirl" suit.
Shao Yun carefully helped Ying adjust her hat, then asked curiously, "Why did you come back so early today?"
Ying looked at the excited Paimeng, smiled helplessly, and replied: "Paimeng has been complaining of hunger, so I have no choice but to come back early to eat today."
As soon as Paimeng mentioned the word "eating", he immediately covered his stomach and pretended to be tired and said, "Ying and I are really exhausted today. Shao Yun, you have to treat us to a delicious meal!"
Shao Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's have a delicious meal today, but it's not me who's treating you, it's someone else who's treating us."
Paimon scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Huh? What does this mean?"
Shao Yun then told them in detail what happened at noon today, and explained: "During the day, the head of the Kamisato family, Kamisato Lingren, found me and told me that he would send a sedan chair to invite us to Kamisato House for a banquet at 4 pm."
"I told the Kamisato family that we would arrive late, but I didn't expect you to come back so early today. We're just in time."
When Ying heard this, she couldn't help but sigh: "This is such a coincidence, no wonder Paimeng kept saying he was hungry today and wanted to come back early, so that's why."
Shao Yun looked at Paimeng and asked half-jokingly: "Paimeng, tell me the truth, do you have any superpowers related to food?"
Paimon waved his hands quickly and said innocently, "No way, it's just a coincidence. Let's go eat!"
……
Shao Yun gently lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and slowly got into it with Ying and Paimeng.
The space inside the sedan is amazingly spacious, enough to accommodate three people at the same time without feeling crowded. No wonder it takes sixteen people to lift it.
The walls and ceiling of the sedan are covered with soft and delicate fabrics, and the seat cushions are thick and comfortable.
The light shines softly into the interior through the gauze curtains, creating a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere, as if you are in a quiet world isolated from the world.
The servants of the Kamisato family carried the sedan chair on their shoulders and, under the strict protection of the samurai who served as the shrine's magistrate, slowly turned around and left the prosperous Inazuma Castle, heading towards Kamisato's Mansion in the distance.
When the residents of Inazuma Castle saw this scene, they began to talk about it, wondering what kind of important occasion it was that required such a grand ceremony.
"Yuzu" from the Adventurer's Association stood in the crowd, watching this spectacular scene, and couldn't help but mutter, "What's going on with the Kamisato family? Who exactly is this person they invited?"
Li Hui, who was standing by, also murmured quietly, "I don't know. Judging from the pomp and circumstance, this must be a very wealthy or powerful person!"
At the same time, on the other side, a light novel author named "Shunji" witnessed this scene, and suddenly inspiration came to him. He said excitedly: "Oh, the inspiration in my mind has come out. I already have a brand new idea for how to write a light novel!"
The servants of the Kamisato family carried sedan chairs on their shoulders, and the group of people marched slowly along the road towards Kamisato's residence, facing the afterglow of the setting sun.
……
On the other side, at Kamisato's Mansion, the servants of the Kamisato family were busy making various preparations for the upcoming banquet.
The musicians carefully tuned their instruments to ensure that every note was played flawlessly.
The artists who are about to perform at the banquet are also conducting final rehearsals, striving to achieve the best in every movement and every expression.
In the kitchen, Thomas and his team meticulously counted the various ingredients to ensure that each one was fresh and met the standards for the banquet.
The atmosphere in the entire Kamisato House was filled with tension. Everything seemed to be ready, except for the final boost, which was Shao Yun's arrival.
At such a busy time, Kamisato Ryoto stood at the door of the house, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery of the sunset.
His gaze turned towards the direction of the Guardian Forest, waiting for the arrival of Shao Yun and others.
At this moment, Kamisato Ayaka took small, light steps and slowly walked to the side of Kamisato Ryoto.
She crossed her hands on her abdomen, lowered her head slightly, and said to her brother with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I really didn't expect things to turn out like this..."
There was a hint of uneasiness and guilt in her voice. She felt guilty for the mistake she had made three days ago, which caused her brother to put down all his work to clean up the mess for her.
Kamisato Ryoto turned around and looked at Kamisato Ayaka who bowed her head to admit her mistake, with a trace of pity in his eyes.
He gently patted her head and comforted her, "It's okay, Linghua, these are what a brother should do. By the way, are the performers and supplies ready?"
Kamisato Ayaka raised her head, met her brother's gentle and concerned gaze, nodded slightly, and responded softly: "Brother, everything is ready. The fireworks sent by Miss Xiao Gong today have been arranged. Lord Yae sent eight priestesses, and I have reviewed their carefully prepared dances. All preparations have been completed to the highest standards."
Shen Li Lingren heard this, and a heavy stone finally fell from his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "As long as everything goes according to plan, everything will be fine."
Seeing that there were no worries about the banquet, Shenli Lingren remembered that his sister had visited Shao Yun three days ago. There were some things he had to clarify, otherwise, Shao Yun would not be easy to fool.
"Ling Hua, there are only you and me here at the moment, and no one else is present. Do you really not know the meaning of the four words 'offering yourself to the bed'?"
When talking about what happened three days ago, Kamisato Ayaka froze for a moment. She was so nervous that she swallowed several times in succession. Her eyes flickered and she answered in a panic: "I... I really... really don't understand... I just... I just read it from those light novels..."
Kamisato Ryoto looked at Kamisato Ayaka who was feeling so guilty and he understood everything in his heart.
He sighed softly, stretched out a hand and gently hugged Ling Hua, letting her lean on him.
"I understand...I will explain it to Shao Yun when the time comes."
Kamisato Ayaka leaned in Kamisato Ryoto's arms, feeling his warm body temperature and comforting words, her heart filled with guilt.
She knew that she had brought unnecessary trouble to her brother. She lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, brother... I really don't want to cause you any trouble, I..."
Kamisato Lingren gently patted Ling Hua's shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, Ling Hua. Don't blame yourself too much. I'm here, don't worry."
Kamisato Ayaka raised her head, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. She hugged Kamisato Ryoto tightly and whispered, "Thank you, brother. I feel safe with you around."
Kamisato Ryoto smiled and responded: "Silly boy, you will always be my sister. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side to support you."
……
As night gradually fell, Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng slowly arrived at the door of Kamisato Yashiki in sedan chairs.
In front of the door, Kamisato Ryoto and Kamisato Ayaka had been standing for a long time, patiently waiting for the arrival of the three people.
After the servants of the Kamisato family put down the sedan chair steadily, Shao Yun gently lifted the curtain and led Ying and Paimeng out of the sedan chair.
Shen Li Lingren stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Shao Yun, welcome. On behalf of the Shen Li family, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you."
Shao Yun also treated him politely, but his response was brief and direct, he just said softly: "Hello."
Then, Shao Yun turned around and introduced Ying and Paimeng: "Ying, Paimeng, this is Shenli Lingren, he is the head of the Shenli family."
After introducing Kamisato Ryoto, Shao Yun turned his attention to Kamisato Ayaka.
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, he narrowed his eyes slightly and gritted his teeth.
Although he was filled with unquenchable anger, he still tried to suppress his emotions and reluctantly said, "That person is... Kamisato Ayaka. We met three days ago. She is Kamisato Ryoto's sister."
Paimon waved and greeted in a friendly manner.
"Hello, Mr. Lingren. And Miss Linghua."
Ying also straightened his collar and responded in the same friendly manner: "Hello, Mr. Lingren."
Then, Ying turned his gaze to Kamisato Ayaka and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Miss Ayaka. I'm sorry that I left halfway with Paimon last time. I hope it didn't cause any inconvenience."
Kamisato Ayaka couldn't understand why Ying always treated her so kindly.
But she still hurried forward, bent down slightly, and said to Ying in a "polite" manner: "It's really okay. By the way, how do the cakes I brought that day taste? Are they delicious?"
When the topic of food was brought up, Paimon immediately interrupted excitedly and said to Kamisato Linghua eagerly, "Oh, those cakes are really delicious, Miss Linghua. Where did you buy them? Shao Yun bought those Feiying cakes recently, but I always feel that they don't have the unique taste of the ones you brought."
When Kamisato Ayaka heard Paimon's words, she was stunned. She didn't expect that the food she had made with her own hands, which she had put so much effort and emotion into, was mistaken by Paimon as being bought.
This made her feel uncomfortable, but she still kept a smile on her face and replied gently: "Miss Paimon, if you really like it, I would be happy to prepare some more for you."
When Paimon heard what Kamisato Ayaka said, she immediately became excited. She clapped her hands happily and said excitedly: "Really? Thank you so much, Miss Ayaka!"
At this time, Shen Li Lingren gently turned sideways and made way.
"Three distinguished guests, how about we come inside and have a chat?"
Shao Yun nodded and said, "Mr. Lingren, please lead the way."
The two siblings, Kamisato Ryoto and Kamisato Ayaka, along with Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng, entered Kamisato's residence together.
In order to welcome Shao Yun and others, this mansion was decorated according to the scale of the celebration.
The light rice ears and paper cranes on the ceiling are interwoven into a dreamy decorative painting.
The floor is covered with Inazuma-style patterned carpets, and the house is dotted with Inazuma's traditional handicrafts. They are colorful and varied in shape, and each one embodies the craftsman's ingenuity and hard work.
The hall of Kamisato House is even more unique. At the main seat, there is a long table covered with exquisite brocade.
On either side, two matching long tables stretched out, with the tabletops decorated with flowers.
Shen Li Ling Ren pointed to the main seat and said politely: "Mr. Shao Yun, Miss Ying, Miss Paimeng, please take a seat."
He simply gave up the seat of the head of the family at the banquet and let the three of them sit down. In order to express his apology, he no longer cared about the etiquette and order of the banquet.
As the saying goes, the strong are the ones who make the rules.
Shao Yun also understood what he meant, so he nodded and said, "Okay, the guest follows the host's wishes."
Shao Yun took Ying and Paimeng to sit cross-legged in the position originally belonging to the head of the family, while Kamisato Ryoto and Kamisato Ayaka knelt together in front of the table to Shao Yun's right.
Paimeng leaned close to Shao Yun's ear and whispered, "Shao Yun, when is dinner ready? I'm so hungry."
After Shao Yun finished listening, he looked at Shen Li Ling Ren and asked politely: "Mr. Ling Ren, when can we start eating?"
Kamisato Ryoto looked at the time and said apologetically, "It will take a little while. How about we enjoy the prepared show to kill some time?"
