Private Talk and Projects Complete

We arrived at my place in Tenshukaku, since Ei is still not back from the Grand Narukami Shrine. I gestured for her to sit down, while the flying thing just floated besides.

"What's the matter, Lumine?" I asked the silent traveler. Even Paimon is suspiciously silent.

"You're the Great Tengu Sasayuri right? Then you should know what happened during the Cataclysm." She questioned it seriously.

"Of course! Since I'm one of the main casualties in Inazuma, after all." I only answered her with my usual smile.

"Then how come you're alive?! Not only did you fake being a merchant, did you fake your death too?!" Paimon exclaimed at my words.

"Not at all! My body got corrupted by the abyssal energy too much, that I pretty much disintegrated at the end. Ei just found a way to bring me back, thats all." I answered, maintaining my smile.

"Can you tell me what happened back there, 500 years ago Lu?" Lumine pleaded with me.

"I don't see why not, and I'm probably one of the few ones that can talk about it freely. The Archons didn't tell you anything right?" I agreed, before asking her.

"Yes, they said they can't and I should find someone who can tell me." She answered with a grim expression.

"How did you find out about it then?" I asked curiously.

"I met a man named Dainsleif in Mondstadt, he told me a bit about Khaenri'ah and how the Archons couldn't be blamed about it." Lumine answered with nostalgia, remembering such an event.

"Oh, so you met that guy! He definitely knows a lot about it, since he was there with me when it occurred." I said, understanding what happened.

"You know him, fake merchant?!" Paimon asked in surprise.

"Yeah, he's a usual guest in Inazuma. He's also my closest male buddy." I replied with a smile.

"What do you want to know, Lumine?" I asked the blonde girl.

"How Khaenri'ah fell, and what did the Archons contribute to its destruction." She said seriously.

"Khanrei'ah fell because of a failed experiment. They tried to find a way out of Teyvat, but opened the path to the abyss accidentally. The abyssal energy spread, turning the people of Khanrei'ah into monsters, in which only a few survived." I narrated, while waiting for her to consume everything before I continued.

"Like Dainsleif said, the Archons aren't at fault in any way. I went to Khanrei'ah after I noticed Baal, our previous electro archon acting strange, so I followed her. The Celestia saw this as a chance and controlled the Archons against their will, using the gnosis to help destroy the kingdom." With those words, I finished saying what I know.

"I see.... Then did you find someone like me, my brother?" She asked with a bit of hope in her eyes.

"Sadly no, I asked Dainsleif to help me get close to Raiden Makoto and I immediately flew back to Inazuma." I said, while her expression deflated.

"It's fine Lumine! Now we know what happened before thanks to this guy!" Exclaimed Paimon, trying to cheer her up.

"I have a lot of free time right now, so you can ask me whatever you want." I said with a smile, to the now cheerful traveler. We talked for a while after that, before I bid them farewell and teleported them to Inazuma City. I went back to finish my projects, since I'm at the end of it already.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

For the next few days, I just continued working on my preparations and finally finished them. Ei already came back here yesterday, and it took a lot of my time to calm her down so I could finish my projects. I left the room to find Ei, to give her my final product as a gift.

"Ei, how's your talks with Yae Miko." I whispered, as I wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Its been good, and I had a lot of fun catching up with her!" She said with a smile, while turning around to look at me.

"I should visit her one of these days, to thank her for keeping my wife company then!" I replied with my usual smile.

"Are you sure you're not just trying to woo her? I heard about your flirting with Sara and that Sangonomiya Kokomi." She asked with a silent stare.

"Of course not! I'm just trying my best to get on their good side." I said with a saddened look.

"Anyway, my gift for you is finished! Here you go." I continued, to change the topic before taking out something with my right hand. What appears is a different looking gnosis, yet it has the same aura, or maybe stronger.

"Don't worry about it, I destroyed this thing and rebuilt it so there's no danger in using it. I also included the power you gave to that prototype puppet you made. This should be able to heal you and make you stronger." I explained to the shocked archon, before she launched herself at me and took my lips.

"Thank you." She said with a beautiful smile, while heavily breathing after separating from me.

"You should try it out, so I can check if there's something wrong with it." I suggested to the flushed Ei. She nodded and put it inside her body, before trying to find the difference.

"Let me check for you." I suggested, before doing my thing.

"It looks good, and its working properly. But you should stay inside your Plane of Euthymia for now to get used to it, and stabilize your regained power." I suggested, as I showed her the difference.

"You should be here once I'm back. After all, I need to reward you for this gift." She left immediately, with a seductive smile. While I quickly left to the tengus in Kannazuka, before she decided to change her mind and come back.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm sorry, but I'll be taking Sara for something." I said, suddenly appearing in front of the three that are currently training.

"You should start preparing the clan too, Reizenbou, Yoshitsune. The peace talks was a success, so the war is finally over." I immediately ordered, to the bewildered tengus.

"Yes, Lord Lu!" They answered, as I left with a wry smile, with the embarrassed Sara.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm sorry for what happened Sara." I said to the still confused general.

"It's fine Lu, but you should avoid something like that from happening in the future. It's not good for our hearts. What are all these things?" She said before looking at the boxes, the contents hidden by blankets.

"It's visions that I made to replace those who lost them, I already tested them out. This should give them back their strength, and fix the changes that happened to them. I want you to lead the group that brings this back to those people Sara." I explained and ordered to the tengu.

"Yes! Your majesty!" Sara answered, then left to find soldiers to command to do my order.

'This girl really is too uptight sometimes, but with this the current problems of Inazuma should be done. Next is, the remnants of the past one.' With those thoughts, I left the place with mixed emotions.
