After hearing the report from Yae Miko, Raiden Shogun became increasingly annoyed:
"So, both the Hiiragi family and the Kujou family are in collusion with the Fatui? And it's not just one or two days?"
"Tenryou Commission followed the Vision Hunt Decree, and the Kujou family's Vision Hunt Decree was privately promoted by the Fatui. With the Vision Hunt Decree, the Kujou family could also recruit troops and expand their power?"
"The Hiiragi family, determined to enforce the Sakoku Decree, has completely monopolized the economy and trade inside and outside Inazuma? Set up trade checkpoints on outlying islands and charge exorbitant customs clearance fees privately?"
Yae Miko smiled and said:
"It was your puppet who finally approved it. Perhaps she also thinks there is something about Inazuma that hinders your pursuit of eternity."
"Moreover, Ei, isn't this your default?"
A blush of embarrassment appeared on Ei's face. She was angry and secretly ashamed of her previous retreat, of being so indifferent to the outside world.
At that time, she felt that it didn't matter what the Vision Hunt Decree or the Sakoku Decree was. Eternity could make up for the regret!
Ei sighed: "Miko, why didn't you admonish me?"
Yae Miko smiled like a flower: "Oh, I knew everything, and I also knew how stubborn you were in your pursuit of so-called eternity."
"For me, the importance of keeping you by my side far outweighed the bad influence brought by the Vision Hunt Decree and the Sakoku Decree. Inazuma could be confused for a while, but if it brought about your awakening and change, what is the price?"
Ei took a deep breath and said to the door:
"Kujou Sara!"
Raiden Shogun's bodyguard entered and knelt down on one knee.
"Pass on my decree. Order the Kujou and Hiiragi families to arrest their leaders immediately!"
Sara acknowledged the order and left.
In Tenshukaku, Yae Miko continued to laugh crisply:
"Oops, your attitude changed so quickly this time! Manager Takumi urged you to do something, and now you do it so vigorously and resolutely?~ Gee, I'm so sad~ Is this just because you found a new man and forgot about your friends? Woo woo woo..."
Click!
Thunder and lightning began brewing over Tenshukaku again, awakening countless residents of Inazuma from their dreams.

Late at night, the Kamisato siblings did not sleep. They returned from discussing matters, both in high spirits.
"Next, Inazuma is entering a new era!"
A ninja from the Shuumatsuban reported outside the teahouse:
"Lord Kamisato, Raiden Shogun has issued an edict: immediately arrest the heads of the Hiiragi and Kujou families and put them in jail. Those who were determined to follow them, those who were the leaders of the Tenryou Commission, are finished."
Kamisato Ayato couldn't help but look up at Tenshukaku. In that direction, the sky was still thundering and lightning.
"The power of thunder," Kamisato Ayato sighed. "To win its favor is to be noble, but one day it will also fall! This is divine grace and divine punishment."
Kamisato Ayaka was very excited.
"Brother! The imprisonment of these two leaders represents the end of the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree!"
Kamisato Ayato nodded.
Thoma beside him also smiled: "Unexpectedly, the Shogun went to Liyue, and after coming back, her ideas have completely changed?"
The Kamisato siblings looked at each other and said in unison:
"It must be the credit of Manager Takumi!"
---
Did Ei's change happen because of him? Takumi didn't know. All he knew was that he had just rested and fallen asleep when he was startled awake by the thunder covering the Inazuma sea area.
Reluctantly, he got up, took out the Pokédex, and started chatting with someone in the group:
"Raiden Shogun, be quiet! I want to sleep, and I have things to do during the day."
Suddenly, the thunder and lightning above Tenshukaku disappeared without a trace.
Raiden Shogun: "I'm sorry."
Yae Miko: "Manager Takumi, oops, you're not scared anymore, are you? It's obvious that you've seen the most extraordinary and terrifying incarnation of thunder in this world not long ago."
Takumi: *(Blackened face.jpg)* "I just want to sleep peacefully, alright?!"
---
The next day, the main commercial street of Hanamizaka was noticeably empty.
Some passersby, walking past a certain vacant shop, couldn't help but stop and look at it in wonder. It turned out that it was Kujou Sara, followed by members of the Tenryou Commission, standing guard in front of the store.
Passersby pointed at the shop where the Pokémon House signboard had been hung overnight.
"Quick!"
"Hurry!"
"It's almost time!"
Not far away, all the boys of the Arataki Gang, led by Arataki Itto, ran towards the store.
Seeing that the store door was not open and there was no one queuing in front of it, Arataki Itto stopped to catch his breath and noticed Kujou Sara.
"Oh, aren't you Kujou 'Turtle'? Wash your neck and wait. I'm going to take an Pokemon back today, and in two days, the pokemon egg will hatch again. I, your uncle, will have two Pokémon! And soon, I'll beat you!"
In the past, Kujou Sara would have replied with a few words. But last night, after the events involving the Hiiragi and Kujou families, in which her adoptive father Kujou Takayuki was captured and detained, Sara's determination to protect Inazuma and uphold the Shogun's will had grown even stronger.
This was Kujou Sara's motto. Therefore, she resolutely carried out the Shogun's decree. As expected, the next morning, the shogunate notice was posted on the bulletin board. The Hiiragi and Kujou family leaders of the Tenryou Commission were removed from all positions. The lower-level personnel of the Tenryou Commission would not be adjusted, but all personnel would be under Kujou Sara's jurisdiction.
As for her becoming the head of the Tenryou Commission overnight, Kujou Sara felt no joy at all.
---
Soon after, Yoimiya and Kuki Shinobu arrived. More and more passersby gathered to watch.
Then, the Kamisato siblings, along with their steward Thoma and the little ninja Sayu, also came as a group.
Yae Miko also appeared with several shrine maidens.
Finally, Raiden Shogun arrived with a group of loyal guards.
"Lord Shogun!"
Everyone greeted her and bowed.
"Ah, it's too early for all this! So early in the morning!" Takumi yawned at this moment, pushing open the store door.
Meloetta took it seriously and hung a sign saying "Open" on the store door. Seeing the many onlookers outside, Takumi cleared his throat and said:
"The Inazuma Pokémon House store officially opens today! Hmm... there is no opening discount, but the installment service has officially launched! Welcome everyone to buy your first initial Pokémon!"
After saying that, Takumi smiled and stepped aside to make way. Raiden Shogun was the first to enter, followed by Yae Miko, the Kamisato siblings, Arataki Itto, and others.
Ding dong!
At the same time, Cresselia floated in the air of the store, Meloetta held up Takumi's Pokédex, and they started the live broadcast of the first business day in Inazuma.
The group leader (Takumi) started the live broadcast, and everyone was welcome to watch, take a small bench, and crack open some sunflower seeds...
Famous characters got up very early.
Whoa, the number of online viewers instantly reached 30+, and almost all the group members were present. The background also automatically synchronized the live broadcast signal to Takumi's live broadcast room in the Teyvat Cheers app.
Whoa!
The popularity of the live broadcast room on the Teyvat PokéNetwork was skyrocketing. The number of viewers increased by tens of thousands in the background. Soon it would exceed one hundred thousand, then one million!
Barrage after barrage passed by:
"Manager Takumi's business finally opened in Inazuma!!"
"Throw flowers!"
"Tears... The glory of our Lord Takumi has expanded to a third region besides Mondstadt and Liyue..."
"Club Manager Takumi has arrived in his loyal Inazuma!!"
---
Inside the store, since they hadn't contacted the president of the Inazuma Adventurers' Guild yet, it seemed that Miss Amelia, the receptionist at the Inazuma branch, would not be available until tomorrow.
However, when Takumi went out to expand his business, he brought several Legendary Pokémon with him. Meloetta was responsible for attending to the regular customers in the store, while Takumi himself entertained the distinguished guests, including Raiden Shogun. The live broadcast footage also focused on him.
"Who wants to go first?"
Takumi's eyes swept across the group. Everyone immediately looked at Raiden Shogun. As the ruling deity of a nation, no one dared to go ahead of her.
Ei was a little hesitant. She already had a Deerling with shining antlers. The next Pokémon she wanted to catch was Thundurus in the Hisui region. But...
Takumi's eyes immediately locked onto Raiden Shogun, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled. In Mondstadt, the Anemo Archon Barbatos had been goofing off. In Liyue, the Geo Archon Morax wanted to retire. Therefore, in his previous "preaching" and promotion of Pokémon, the first customer was not the ruling deity of the land. Now, in Inazuma, Takumi wanted to change that.
"Then, let me invite you, Raiden Shogun, to fire the first shot of the Inazuma Pokémon Era."
The live broadcast camera focused here, facing all the people of Teyvat.
Takumi still gave Ei face. In private, he used his psychic powers to transmit a message:
"The selection in my store covers 905 types of Pokémon. That means..."
"Pokémon that can reverse the cycle of life and death, such as Celebi, who can travel through time and space."
"For example, Dialga, the god of time."
"There is a chance to draw them!"
Ei immediately understood what Takumi meant. Celebi... Dialga... Both had the ability to go back to a certain point in time and space, or to a world line from the past! Ei's heart trembled, and memories buried deep within her surfaced uncontrollably.
Tenshukaku, five hundred years ago. The former Electro Archon, her sister Raiden Makoto, along with Kitsune Saiguu, Sangonomiya, and Gyoukou Chiyo... Everyone was having fun under the sakura tree in Tenshukaku, playing a game of cards.
At that time, Yae Miko was still a little fox cuddled in Raiden Makoto's arms. Relatives, friends, and everyone around the card table burst into laughter. After returning from Khaenri'ah, for five hundred years, in a pure land, Ei tried to abandon this memory. However, the pictures and sounds would always appear when she was most lonely. She thought the past couldn't be changed. Her friends at that time had all disappeared, except for the little fox. But every time she thought of it, a smile would appear at the corner of her lips.
"Celebi! Dialga! If there is hope for reversal, who would be stuck in autism, thinking about eternity, and resisting the so-called erosion?"
Raiden Shogun... She wanted to change the world line!
"Traveling through time and space, and the god of time?"
After receiving Takumi's authorization to draw a Pokémon, Ei gently clicked the start button on the Pokédex screen. Black shadows flashed across the screen.
