Lumine and the other two arrived at the roller coaster entrance, waiting for Stelle and the others to finish their ride.
As for Paimon, she had run off to her special snack car to "inspect her territory."
Along the way, she also planned to restock her inventory ring.
Inside her "territory," Paimon looked around curiously, grabbing so chips here and a spicy snack there.
In the amusent park—
The roller coaster carrying Stelle, March 7th, Firefly, and Furina returned to the station.
Stelle and Firefly were fine; both of them found it thrilling and wanted to go again.
March 7th, however, was leaning over the safety bar, vomiting. She wasn't passed out, just nauseated—the roller coaster spanned three kiloters and featured nurous 360-degree loops.
Stelle patted March 7th teasingly.
"March, you're not looking too good. Didn't you say yesterday you were gonna ride this three tis? And now you're already down after one?
Look at Furina! She'd never even heard of this ride before, it was her first ti, and look at her—totally calm, cool as ever.
Now look at you—tsk tsk~"
March 7th felt sothing was off.
Wasn't Furina the one screaming the loudest on the ride just now?
What's going on?
March 7th looked at Furina, only to find her eyes unfocused, like her soul had left her body.
"Furina? Furina?" March 7th called her na twice, but got no response.
"Uh-oh! Help!"
She rushed over and shook Furina.
That shake finally brought Furina's soul back.
Furina imdiately burst into tears.
"Waaaah—I'm never riding that again! That was terrifying! Boohoo~"
March 7th and Firefly helped Furina off the coaster. Her legs were so weak she couldn't stand.
They helped her to a nearby bench, comforting her nonstop.
At that mont, Stelle noticed Lumine, Miko, and Ei.
"Yo~ Lumine, when did you get here? Huh? Miko, Ei, you ca too!"
Lumine looked at Stelle.
"It's only been two days and you've already built an amusent park? Impressive!" She gave Stelle a thumbs-up.
Stelle chuckled.
"Last ti we played in Penacony, I didn't get enough of it.
Now that I've got such a big space in my domain, why let it go to waste? I figured, why not build a the park? Now we can play whenever we want!"
Lumine looked at the roller coaster and grinned.
"Another round?"
As she spoke, she sneakily motioned toward Miko and Ei.
Stelle caught on imdiately and responded with a knowing smile.
So Lumine wanted to prank Miko and Ei, who were both from Teyvat—just like Furina.
Stelle turned to them.
"Miko, Ei, want to give it a try? I'm telling you, it's super fun!"
Miko smiled.
"I'll pass. I'll wait here."
Of course she could tell they were trying to prank her and Ei. She saw what happened to Furina. She was a shrine maiden with both brains and beauty—no way she'd fall for it!
Seeing Miko resist, Lumine took out her phone and ssaged Stelle.
Lumine:Miko and Ei want to buy those item cards from you. Got it?
Stelle saw the ssage and replied instantly.
Stelle:Got it instantly!
She called over Mika and Fire monkey.
Not far away near the Drop Tower, Riceball's smartwatch buzzed.
He checked the ssage, called Fire monkey, and ran off toward the treehouse.
This smartwatch was a company product, originally bought for Zzz by Topaz.
Stelle and the others liked it and bought one for their own little Spirits too.
Soon after—
Mika and Firemonkey arrived at the roller coaster station carrying a large box.
"Mi-ka! Mi-ka!""Roar~ Roar~"
Riceball stood with hands on hips, looking proud.
Fire monkey mimicked him.
Stelle gave both of them a thumbs-up.
"Mika and Fire monkey, you're amazing! Go have fun now—I've got work to do here."
Pleased by the praise, Mika led his "little brother" Fire monkey away from the station proudly.
Miko looked at the box full of item cards and knew things were about to go south.
Yup, no escape from the roller coaster today.
Stelle pulled out an item card.
"Miko, let's play a little ga. If you ride the roller coaster once, I'll let you choose any three item cards. Sound good?"
Miko hesitated. Should she do it?
Before she could decide, Ei suddenly asked—
"Can I join too?"
Stelle imdiately agreed.
"Of course!
Miko, look—Ei's in. Can you really back out now?"
Miko sighed. Sigh... looks like I'm dood today.
And so—
Stelle, Firefly, Miko, Ei, and Lumine boarded the roller coaster. March 7th hit the start button.
As the coaster began its steep climb, Miko felt sothing was off.
Why is this slope so steep!?
Seconds later, her screams echoed across the amusent park.
The roller coaster circled nearly the entire park, with parts going through the air, underwater, and underground.
"LET OFF!!! I DON'T WANNA DO THIS!!!" Miko wailed.
March 7th, now recovered with a sip of water, helped Furina to rest near a fountain.
Right then, the roller coaster roared overhead, and Furina heard Miko's screams.
She inexplicably felt great joy—it was hilarious.
Furina clicked her tongue.
"Tsk tsk, so tragic~"
March 7th was surprised by Furina's sudden energy.
"You're okay now?"
Furina stood up and grabbed March 7th's hand, heading back to the station.
"I'm fine! Let's go! I gotta see what they look like after that ride! Hehehe~"
March 7th was speechless.
There's a saying... oh, right.
Watching soone else suffer the sa pain you did—it's oddly satisfying.
Furina dragged March 7th to the platform just as the coaster returned.
Miko was trembling all over, needing Ei's help to get off.
Furina saw it and felt amazing. So this is how fun it is when the elders get wrecked!
After the ride, Stelle sold the whole box of item cards to Miko and Ei for 1000 Primogems.
Stelle and Lumine just wanted so laughs—they never ant to make things hard for Miko.
Holding the box, Miko looked aggrieved.
"Ei! Don't forget what I did for you! I traded my soul and body for these supplies!"
Ei calmly replied, "Mm."
"Let's go again. I think it actually seems kind of fun."
Miko gasped in horror—like hearing the whisper of a demon!
Stelle lit up—oho! More fun to be had! She dragged Miko back onto the roller coaster.
Furina eagerly ran to the start button.
"Roller coaster—start!"
***
The roller coaster started again. During the uphill climb, Yae Miko had a tragic look on her face, like a prisoner about to be executed.
What if I never return?Yae Miko: Then I won't return!"Help eeee!!!!"
The pitiful scream of a certain fox once again echoed through the entire amusent park.
After spending so ti having fun in the park, the group returned to the train.
Furina thoroughly enjoyed herself; she realized she quite liked watching others suffer misfortune.
Yae Miko had also recovered by now, though the recent experience still lingered vividly in her mind.
Seeing Yae Miko's miserable state, Ye Yun couldn't help it and let out a laugh.
"Ha ha!!!"
Yae Miko rolled her eyes at Ye Yun in annoyance.
"You're laughing? I was that miserable, and you're laughing."
Ye Yun looked innocent.
"You can't bla . You were the one who insisted on riding it."
The mory made Yae Miko feel wronged all over again. Fortunately, she did get the supply cards.
There were plenty of supply cards available from Stelle. The ones Yae Miko brought back were enough to support the entirety of Inazuma for a year.
She would make good use of this year—reclaim land, plant crops, develop animal husbandry.
By next year, Inazuma could return to normal, and its people wouldn't have to worry about their next al, leaving them with energy to focus on other pursuits.
Yae Miko reached into her bag. There were still 30,000 star coins left.
She had spent 10,000 on a golden trash can, and another 10,000 on Stelle's supply cards.
Thinking back, she regretted the golden trash can. Such a waste.
From Stelle, over a hundred supply cards cost just 10,000 star coins.
But that golden trash can? 10,000 star coins for just one card.
Since she was already here, Yae Miko decided to spend the rest of her star coins and bring back so more things.
"Ye Yun, how do I buy stuff here? Didn't you say you run a shop?"
Ye Yun pointed to the touchscreen on the counter of the bar.
"Just browse over there. Once you've chosen, insert the star coins and you'll get your goods.
I've got everything—divine weapons, cultivation techniques, items to boost your strength, or even magical crops with unique effects.
Even items that can bring people back to life—I've got them all.
As long as you've got enough star coins, you can buy anything you want from ."
Yae Miko looked at Ye Yun suspiciously.
"Is it really as amazing as you say?"
Stelle raised her hand.
"Ye Yun might sound exaggerated, but everything he said is true."
As Stelle finished speaking—
A figure suddenly rushed up to Ye Yun.
It was Raiden Ei.
With a serious face, she looked straight at Ye Yun.
"You have items that can resurrect people?"
Ye Yun smiled.
"Of course. I've got many."
He walked over to the touchscreen and pulled up the resurrection items, selecting one to show Ei and Yae Miko.
"Look, this one—Angel's Feather. Costs 880,000 star coins. Can unconditionally resurrect a two-winged angel—in your terms, soone at the Archon level."
Ei stared at the screen, fixated on the Angel's Feather.
She stared for several minutes.
Yae Miko saw what she was thinking.
"Ei..."
Ei snapped out of it and turned toward the teleport gate.
"Yae Miko, let's go back."
Without another word, she stepped into the portal.
Yae Miko said goodbye to the others and followed her in.
Back in Inazuma, Ei appeared above the city.
"I hereby issue the Primogem Hunt Decree. All citizens of Inazuma are to collect Primogems and deliver them to Tenshukaku."
With lightning surrounding her, her divine voice echoed across all of Inazuma—including Watatsumi Island.
Sangonomiya Kokomi and Gorou were in the middle of discussing the Shogunate Army's strange behavior lately. They had been hiding in their camp for days without making a move.
Just then, Ei's voice rang out, and both Kokomi and Gorou's expressions changed.
The Shogun had returned!
Kokomi knew Raiden Ei's power—it was not sothing ordinary people could oppose.
Even when they had waged war against the Shogunate Army, it was rely to seek an audience with the Shogun and explain Inazuma's dire situation.
Kokomi imdiately ordered Gorou to the frontlines to restrain the soldiers.
"Gorou! Head to the frontlines now. Until the situation is clear, do not start a war with the Shogunate Army."
Gorou accepted the order and rushed to the front.
Kokomi pondered silently, then her eyes lit up.
The Shogun was collecting Primogems and asking they be delivered to Tenshukaku—that could be a way to et her.
"Soone, start gathering Primogems to send over!"
anwhile, in Inazuma City, the people were shocked to hear another Hunt Decree.
They thought Ei was reinstating the Vision Hunt Decree.
That decree had caused Inazuma to lose many powerful fighters, which in turn emboldened monsters in the wild and shrank safe zones. Naturally, less farmland was cultivated.
When they heard it was Primogems this ti, they all let out a sigh of relief.
Primogems? Worthless to them—no impact on their lives.
So, anyone with Primogems brought them to Tenshukaku.
With the help of Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayato, the two clan leaders took the bla.
The people believed the two had misled the Shogun, leading to her past errors in judgnt.
Yae Miko watched the hovering Raiden Ei. This ti, she didn't try to stop her.
It was just a Primogem Hunt Decree—it wouldn't harm Inazuma's future.
In fact, it might even be a good thing. If her true sister could be brought back, she, the little fox, wouldn't have to worry so much anymore.
Just then, a shrine maiden approached.
"Lady Guuji, Miss Kamisato Ayaka requests an audience."
Yae Miko was slightly surprised.
But quickly understood—Ayaka must be here about the decree.
"Take her to the guest room. I'll be there shortly."
The shrine maiden bowed and left.
Yae Miko walked under a cherry blossom tree and looked up to see Sayu napping among the branches. She smiled.
"So the little tanuki's been hiding here all along. I've been looking everywhere for you."
She pulled out a feather and tickled Sayu's nose.
Sayu twitched and let out a sneeze.
"Achoo~"
Sayu opened her eyes, annoyed.
"Who—who—woke up?!"
As she spoke, she started nodding off again.
Yae Miko chuckled.
"Look closely—see who it is."
Sayu opened her eyes wide, startled once she recognized Yae Miko.
"L-Lady Guuji?!"
Yae Miko smiled and picked Sayu up.
"Co now, you haven't done your training yet today."
Sayu looked reluctant, but under the "authority" of Yae Miko, she had no choice but to follow obediently.
anwhile, Kamisato Ayaka followed the shrine maiden to the guest room and sat down.
She had co imdiately after hearing the Shogun announce the Primogem Hunt Decree.
