Keqing expressed her support for Takumi's statement.
Only by raising the sword of rebellion against the gods could they save their country.
Hearing Takumi's bold words, Kamisato Ayaka was speechless.
"Resistance?"
"Someone is already taking action."
Hearing her response, Takumi smiled.
"Are you referring to Sangonomiya Kokomi?"
"Indeed, they have already begun resisting."
"Although, it seems your general doesn't care much."
Takumi was intrigued.
Kamisato Ayaka nodded.
Indeed, the Shogun seemed indifferent to the rebellion.
"Mr. Takumi."
"Let's not discuss this further."
"What do you think we should do next?"
Ayaka shook her head. She didn't want to dwell on the topic and instead continued questioning Takumi.
"What to do next?"
"Didn't you already say it?"
"The first step is to convince your general to abandon her stubborn ideals."
"The eternity she seeks now is not true eternity."
"Only then can Inazuma have a future."
"Liyue has already entered the electrical age."
"If Inazuma reopens its borders, with its abundant Electro Crystals, its development won't be difficult."
"Besides, your Yae Miko is Teyvat's first software engineer."
"If she spreads programming knowledge, Inazuma might even become Teyvat's hub for programmers in the future."
"You came to Liyue to find a path forward, didn't you?"
"Next, you should explore Liyue and observe."
"You could even send some of these new advancements back home."
"Let the people of Inazuma see that times have changed."
"You can also convey this message to the Shogun."
"'My lord, times have changed.'"
"Teyvat is no longer what it once was."
"If things continue like this, Inazuma will have no future."
"Give the gifts from Liyue to Yae Miko."
"I'm sure that woman will guide Lumine's actions as well."
For now, that was all Ayaka could do.
Let the people of Inazuma witness Liyue's advancements firsthand.
When the time came, Beidou could transport communication devices to Inazuma and set up signal towers in the mountains.
For instance, starting with phone calls, then progressing to radio broadcasts.
That way, Inazuma's citizens would continuously hear about Liyue's advancements.
Beidou could handle all of this on her next journey to Inazuma.
It was a simple process.
Perhaps it would even encourage more people to seek work in Liyue.
Upon hearing this, Kamisato Ayaka immediately nodded.
"Alright!"
"Next, I will shop around Liyue."
"I'll bring some of Liyue's latest innovations back to Lady Guuji."
Ayaka found the idea logical.
Words alone meant nothing compared to tangible proof.
Presenting real objects would be far more persuasive than any argument.
So, Ayaka decided.
Tomorrow, she would start shopping in Liyue.
When Beidou returned to Inazuma, she would have her deliver the items.
Ayaka spent a long time discussing her plans with Takumi.
Gradually, she formed a clear direction.
She now knew what to do next.
Bring Liyue's modern innovations back to Inazuma.
She would also write a letter.
Pleading for Yae Miko's assistance.
The Shogun had to return to reason.
That night, Ayaka stayed at Takumi's manor.
Sayu was immediately whisked away by Klee and the others.
Thus, only Ayaka remained alone in her room, lost in thought.
She couldn't fall asleep until very late.
No one knew what she was thinking about.
The next morning, when Ayaka woke up, everyone else was already gone.
Only Takumi was waiting downstairs.
Seeing Takumi, Ayaka felt embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Takumi."
"I overslept."
How awkward.
She hadn't been able to sleep last night, and now she had woken up late.
Hearing Ayaka's apology, Takumi shook his head.
"Just call me Takumi."
"You must not be used to the bed, so you didn't sleep well."
"Come have breakfast."
"Then I'll take you to the General Affairs Department."
"Miss Ganyu is already there."
"She came with Ningguang."
That morning, Takumi had received a call from Ganyu and Ningguang.
They would be arriving soon.
That was why Takumi had waited for Ayaka at home.
Hearing this, Ayaka nodded.
She quickly sat at the table and started eating Liyue's special breakfast.
The flavors surprised her.
It was completely different from Inazuma's cuisine.
Ayaka didn't talk much while eating.
She preferred to eat in silence.
After finishing, she expressed her gratitude and then asked curiously:
"Mr. Takumi."
"Did Sayu wake up yet?"
She looked around.
Why couldn't she see the little ninja?
Hearing this, Takumi blinked.
"Not yet."
"She's probably still asleep."
Klee and the others had woken up early.
But Sayu hadn't.
Klee hadn't even tried to wake her.
As Klee put it, Sayu was exhausted from the boat trip.
She needed to rest.
They would take Sayu out after noon.
Hearing this, Ayaka was stunned.
Still asleep?
Hmm.
That little one was always reluctant to get out of bed.
Thinking of this, Ayaka felt a little helpless.
But she didn't dwell on it.
Let her sleep.
She wasn't here to work anyway.
Bringing Sayu to Liyue was just to give her some company.
She deserved a break.
With that in mind, Ayaka let it go.
Takumi stood up and began clearing the tableware.
Seeing this, Ayaka hurriedly said:
"Let me do it."
She felt a little embarrassed.
As a guest, she had woken up late.
Now, the host was clearing the tableware for her.
As a noble, she had a sense of propriety.
After cleaning up, Takumi took Ayaka out for a tour of Guiliyuan.
He also helped her acquire a mobile phone.
And opened a bank account for her.
Seeing Liyue's modern advancements, Ayaka was amazed.
She couldn't believe things could work this way.
She was gaining valuable experience!
She didn't refuse Takumi's help.
She opened a bank account and deposited all the money she had brought.
Although it was a check from the Northland Bank, Takumi accepted it.
Later, he could exchange it for Mora at the bank.
Recently, Northland Bank had been struggling.
However, Takumi had heard they were planning to launch a system similar to Liyue's Bank.
That was quite interesting.
