Genshin Impact: What, the one we need to save is Focalors?

Not long after, they reached the entrance.

Lin Yide stopped and turned to Scaramouche with a serious gaze. "Scaramouche, I promised to help you get revenge, and from now on, you will work for me."

Scaramouche retorted with a cold sneer, "Do I have any other choice?"

"No," Lin Yide replied, utterly domineering.

Scaramouche snorted and limped quickly towards his dormitory.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Imai Jiro approaching him with a look of concern and tension. "Kunikuzushi, you're injured. Lie down and rest quickly. I'll go get a doctor right away."

The hostility on Scaramouche's face dissipated greatly at this moment. He waved his hand. "No need. They are just minor injuries; they'll heal quickly."

After speaking, he lay down on his bed. He needed to be alone now, quietly, to process everything he had experienced today.

Seeing this, Imai Jiro didn't try to persuade him further. Instead, he quietly turned and walked out the door.

About half an hour later, he returned with purchased bandages and medicine.

"Kunikuzushi, let's clean and bandage the wound, otherwise it will get worse," he advised gently.

Hearing this voice, Scaramouche felt a strange pang in his heart.

Because he was reminded of Niwa. When he first arrived at Tatarasuna, he was completely unaccustomed to human life. It was Niwa who gently taught him the human way of life.

But his foolish self didn't believe him.

He looked up at Imai Jiro, his voice carrying a hint of confusion. "Why are you so good to me?"

A trace of reminiscence appeared on Imai Jiro's face. He replied truthfully, "Because you remind me of my younger brother. If he hadn't accidentally been crushed to death by a nobleman's carriage, he would be about your age now."

"So, I'm just a replacement?" Scaramouche's tone revealed suppressed anger.

Imai Jiro shook his head firmly. "No, you are absolutely not a replacement. To me, you are like another younger brother."

Hearing these words, the anger in Scaramouche's heart subsided significantly.

He asked, "Imai Jiro, let me ask you a question. If someone told you that your close brother had betrayed you, what would you do?"

Imai Jiro thought for a moment. "I would probably find that close brother and ask for clarification on the situation. Perhaps he had his own difficulties."

Hearing this answer, Scaramouche couldn't help but slap himself twice at that moment.

...

On a night with moonlight like water, Lin Yide stood alone at the bow of the ship, gazing up at the countless stars dotting the night sky.

A salty sea breeze blew gently from the surging sea, carrying the scent of salt and soothing the frustration in his heart.

During the time Scaramouche was unconscious, he conducted a detailed examination of his body. However, the results left him deeply disappointed.

Although this puppet's body had surpassed ordinary mortals, reaching a certain peak, it was still worlds apart from a divine body and simply could not bear a god's will.

Could it be that he had to personally forge a divine body?

But he knew absolutely nothing about this kind of knowledge!

Gazing at the brilliant constellations in the sky, a bold idea surged into his mind.

Although slightly perverse, it was definitely a very good method.

After figuring this out, he instantly felt much less pressure.

The plan to save Focalors finally had a viable solution.

Just then, faint and light footsteps reached Lin Yide's ears.

He slowly turned around and saw Yae Miko walking gracefully towards him.

The moonlight, like water, sprinkled gently upon her, cloaking her in a layer of silver gauze and further highlighting her inherent beauty and nobility.

There was a hint of complexity in Yae Miko's eyes. She looked at Lin Yide, her voice filled with gratitude. "Director Yide, I'm truly grateful that you are willing to take in Kunikuzushi."

Lin Yide smiled slightly. "You're welcome, Guuji Yae. I am taking him in, naturally, for my own purposes and considerations."

Yae Miko said with regret, "If only I could have set aside my complicated duties back then and personally gone to Tatarasuna, perhaps I could have prevented that tragedy from happening."

Lin Yide glanced at her and said something slightly sarcastic. "Guuji Yae, your choice wasn't wrong. After all, you are the Guuji of a god, not the Guuji of the people of Inazuma."

Yae Miko was silent.

After a long time, she spoke. "Yide, I wish you were from Inazuma."

A cold smile curled on Lin Yide's lips. "If I were from Inazuma, you would definitely regret it. After all, my methods have never been gentle."

Hearing this, Yae Miko couldn't help but shiver inwardly.

She then remembered that although the man before her seemed gentle and approachable, he was actually a rare ruthless individual in the world.

She tried hard to calm the turmoil in her heart and then asked, "What will the future of Inazuma truly look like?"

Lin Yide replied indifferently, "Inazuma will be the Inazuma of the people of Inazuma. As for nobles, that concept is too backward. Except for the Kamisato Clan, the rest should all be purged."

Yae Miko frowned and raised an objection. "Raiden Ei would never agree to killing nobles. After all, the ancestors of the Tenryou Commission and Kanjou Commission were all people she once trusted and recognized."

In the game's storyline, although Kujou Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke committed serious crimes, they were only punished with life imprisonment, and their children still inherited their positions in the Tenryou Commission and Kanjou Commission.

Lin Yide absolutely would not accept this approach, which was too lenient towards nobles and extremely cruel towards commoners.

He asked Yae Miko back contemptuously, "Do you think I need her agreement?"

Yae Miko was momentarily speechless. The more contact she had with him, the more shocking the strength he displayed felt.

More importantly, his strength was still rapidly increasing!

Perhaps, there was a real possibility that he could defeat Raiden Ei in a direct confrontation.

At that time, everything in Inazuma would be decided by him.

Yae Miko finally let out a deep sigh and said softly, "Very well. Director Yide, I will be returning to the Grand Narukami Shrine tomorrow."

Lin Yide waved his hand casually and replied concisely, "Goodbye."

A hint of resentment showed in Yae Miko's eyes. She parted her red lips slightly. "Is there nothing else you want to say to me?"

Lin Yide thought for a moment and then said, "I still have some Fontaine local specialties here. You can take them back with you when you leave tomorrow."

A flicker of almost imperceptible annoyance flashed in Yae Miko's eyes, but she quickly calmed herself and replied gracefully, "Director Yide, thank you very much."

Having spoken, she turned and walked away gracefully, leaving behind a faint scent.

Lin Yide watched her gradually receding figure, a strange sense of loss welling up in his heart.

This fox was a peerless beauty in the world; her charm was indeed hard to resist.

....

The next morning, sunlight shone on the entrance of Fudé Port. A West Factory guard, carrying a large bag of Fontaine specialty products packed in a snakeskin sack, approached Yae Miko.

"Guuji Yae, Director Yide said he wanted to sleep in a little longer, so he won't be coming to see you off personally," the West Factory guard said respectfully.

Yae Miko had not expected Lin Yide to treat her in this manner, not even willing to come and see her off. This made her feel unconfident about her charm for the first time.

Her expression changed momentarily, but she quickly regained her usual elegance and composure. With a gentle smile, she said, "Please go back and tell Director Yide that I am very grateful for the local specialties he gifted me, and I hope he can visit the Grand Narukami Shrine more often when he has the chance."

The West Factory guard nodded in agreement. "I will definitely convey your words to the Director."

Yae Miko said nothing more. She took the large snakeskin sack, turned, and walked away, leaving behind only a beautiful figure.
