Chapter 4

The girl has long, pale white-blue hair tied in a high ponytail by a black armored headdress accented with gold. Her hair is styled in a hime cut, with evenly chopped locks framing her face tied off with white accessories bordered with gold, fastened with bright pink cords tied in cloverleaf knots. Her light blue-gray eyes are accompanied by thick lashes and a mole underneath her left eye.

At the moment, being watched by her gentle blue eyes with similar hair color, Adam felt his hanging heart greatly relieved. So, he hurriedly walked towards the girl.

Kamisato Ayaka's outfit consists of a royal blue pleated knee-length skirt embroidered with various patterns, bearing gold accents and small white flower print, and black geta sandals with ankle-length white socks decorated by pink cloverleaf knots at the back. She has a black breastplate with a golden Kamisato Clan emblem in the center and matching armor platings on the sides of her skirt.

Underneath her breastplate is a loose elbow-length shirt with gradients of blue to white. Her cuffs and collar on her top are navy with various gold stripes. She wears black sleeves underneath the loose shirt, sling over her middle fingers and covering both of her thumbs. On top of her black sleeves are white armored platings lined by gold metal, tied together by red knots.

Her outfit's back is a large royal blue bow, tied together by her Vision and another bright pink cloverleaf knot. The lower half of the ribbons darken in color with gold markings seemingly native to her homeland. She carries around a gold-navy fan that matches her skirt as an accessory.

Arriving in front of Kamisato Ayaka, Adam opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

He can't just say that this is just a dungeon and he needed her help, could he? So, looking at the girl in front of him, he fell silent for a while.

Ayaka looked at Adam a few times. When she found his silence, she mistook it for being nervous. So she smiled and said in a gentle voice, "You don't have to worry. Although this is a bit strange situation, we can definitely solve the problem."

Adam was startled after hearing her comfort.

Is she actually worried about him?

He entered the dungeon. Although Narukami island became strange and quiet, Kamisato Ayaka would never know that this matter was related to him and only regard him as an innocent passerby. In this situation, it is understandable for a girl known as 'Shirasagi Himegimi' to comfort him.

After understanding this, Adam felt happy and relieved. So, he spread his hands out and replied, "I came out of my house and found that the surrounding was tranquil. Nobody was on the streets, and I don't know what happened. Did you find anything?"

Kamisato Ayaka shook her head and said, "I passed by the Konda village before. It was very lively, but I was all alone the next moment, there was nobody in sight. I don't know what happened."

"Really... By the way, my name is Adam." Adam realized that he hadn't introduced himself yet.

"Adam? But you look like a Liyue person?" Ayaka looked at him from top to bottom with her beautiful eyes, and tapped her chin with the folding fan in her hand, and introduced herself with a smile, " My name is Kamisato Ayaka. Please give me your advice."

"I do come from Liyue. Let's not talk about my name. I have heard a lot of people talking about 'Shirasagi Himegimi' in Ritou. So, how can I not know about your name?" Adam gave her a smile and replied.

Ayaka was a little embarrassed to hear him calling her 'Shirasagi Himegimi.' Although it was a title given to her by the people, it still made her feel a bit flattered.

"Please, just call me Ayaka. Let's go somewhere else and see if more people like us are in this situation. Maybe we can also figure out what happened and return everyone back. Don't worry, I'll keep you company meanwhile." Kamisato Ayaka gently said, but there was a trace of worry hidden in the depth of her eyes.

"Okay, I'm in your command. But, where do we go next?" Adam readily accepted her arrangement.

He could sense her worries, but still, she didn't forget to comfort him. She's worthy of being a near-perfect woman in the eyes of the people of Inazuma.

"I was planning to go to the Inazuma city before finding you. It is the most prosperous place in Inazuma. Besides, there shouldn't be any problem in the place where Raiden Shogun resides." Ayaka pursed her red lips and answered.

The Raiden Shogun is the excellent and terrible power of thunder incarnate, the exalted ruler of the Inazuma Shogunate. She is also the Electro Archon named Baal.

A person with such an authoritative identity is actually a woman. Adam heard from those who had seen Raiden Shogun describe her as a very majestic person.

Adam silently followed Ayaka, walking through the Konda village and shuttling through the Byakko Plains with such chaotic thoughts. In the distance, he could see Inazuma city, which became more apparent with every step.

"In this field, there are usually some ronins, hilichurls, slimes, foxes, wild boars, or beasts nearby, but now I can't find anything. I hope there is nothing wrong in the Inazuma castle." There were obvious signs of worries on Ayaka's face with each passing moment.

Adam didn't know what to say, after all. It can be said that he is the case of all this situation.
