As Saku stood by Soyo’s bedside, watching her sleep peacefully, he prepared to quietly slip out of the room. But just as he was about to leave, his eyes caught sight of a box on her desk.
Curious, he moved closer for a better look.
It was a beautifully wrapped gift box.
“Must be a present for Nagasaki Soyo… one she hasn’t opened yet.”
After satisfying ...

"Too cunning for their own good. Fascinating. It seems I’m not suited to deal with people like that," Gu Sanqiu muttered as he rubbed his chin. Someone like that should be left to talents on par with his elder sister.
Oh, and if Kaeya ever stopped pretending to be inept, he’d also fit into that category.
Sure, Gu Sanqiu had an impressive breadth and depth of knowledge, but at hi...

“Young Lady Kamisato?”
Gu Sanqiu raised an eyebrow. Well, well, another addition to Inazuma’s social web?
“Indeed,” Thoma replied with a hint of pride in his voice. “Our Lady Kamisato Ayaka, the peerless Menkyo Kaiden of Kamisato-style tachi arts, also known as the Shirasagi Himegimi.”
“Uh-huh. And?”
Gu Sanqiu had no intention of ...

A Few Days Later – Mondstadt
After days of negotiation, Kaveh and Natalya, stationed in Mondstadt, had finally cleared multiple misunderstandings with the Knights of Favonius. They had to repeatedly explain that they were merely there to build a luxurious mansion—not to scheme against Mondstadt.
Eventually, the Knights relented. Using Northland Bank’s...

Inazuma – The Kamisato Estate
Dressed in her usual light blue kimono, Kamisato Ayaka returned to her room after completing her nightly rituals. The mansion was silent, the hour so late that only a few guards on patrol remained awake.
Gently pushing her door open just a crack, Ayaka peeked down the dimly lit hallway.
At the far end of the corridor la...

Ayaka never shared the details, and Luo Qing didn’t press her for answers.

As Kiichi Hougen loosed her awe-inspiring arrow, the longbow in her hands rapidly splintered, fractures spreading like spiderwebs before it shattered into dust and scattered into the air.
That arrow wasn’t a Noble Phantasm; it was the result of crudely compressing an immense amount of magical or elemental energy before releasing it in a single burst.
Nor was the bow itself a Noble...

Size has its advantages, and so does agility.
Compared to the Abyssal King Rifthound’s colossal 800-meter-long body, Kiichi Hougen was as small as a mosquito.
But that very size made the Abyssal King Rifthound unwieldy and slow.
As she dodged another swipe of its massive claw, Kiichi Hougen slashed out with her long blade, sending wave after wave of wind-forged sword energy ...
