Chapter 19: Bai Luo's Request
"..."
How should it be put? It's just like what Bai Luo had said, the reputation of the Fatui Brigade is one of the worst amongst the seven nation, it's to the point where there is even some Snezhnaya who are not fond of them due to how they handle their matter, although the percentage of such people are almost zero, those type of people do exist.
Furthermore, their reasons are quite impeccable.
"It was my misjudgment, and I offer you my apology if I had offended you."
Thinking about this, Sara's tone also eased a lot.
But that icy expression in her face still didn't change much.
Hearing her words, Bai Luo suddenly felt a sense of Deja Vu.
'Come to think of it, isn't this situation quite similar to the one with Baidou?'
"As much as I want to take that apology, I can't, my people were almost killed by you, do you really think a simple apology is enough?"
Seeing Sara about to leave, Bai Luo immediately spoke up.
"Hmm? What else do you want to do? If you have any objections, you can report me to the Tenryou Commission, I won't retaliate even if you do so."
This statement from Sara seems fine at first glance, but anyone with discerning eyes can see which side the Tenryou Commission will support.
Moreover...
"I heard it from some guy, but it seems you are the commander of the Tenryou Commission, right?"
"..."
Facing Bai Luo's suspicious gaze, Sara awkwardly averted her eyes.
Yes, just as Bai Luo said, she is indeed the commander of the Tenryou Commission.
In simple terms. She is the highest-ranking official of the Tenryou Commission.
Since she's the highest figure of authority in the Commission, what is the use of reporting her? Who would dare to take action?
"So, what do you want?"
With her wings that had already spread out behind her, Sara couldn't just leave like this.
Regardless of how suspicious Bai Luo and his group may be, they are genuine Snezhnaya envoys.
No matter how the Shogun feels about them, they are guests until they leave.
If she does not handle this incident properly, it could spiral out of control, escalate into a diplomatic incident, and when that happens, it would cause a lot of trouble for the Shogun.
"Girl, how about this."
Looking at Sara who seemed to be lost in thought, Bai Luo called out to her, a plan is already being made inside his own mind.
...
Since the issuance of the Vision Hunt Decree, the number of unfamiliar faces in Inazuma City has decreased.
So, whenever a stranger that the surrounding residents does not know of would often be met with a suspicious look.
Especially someone who wore a different attire compared to them, at the current moment, it's a rarity for an outsider to come to Inazuma.
But when everyone's gaze fell on the woman that was walking by his side, all of their doubts and suspicions about him vanished.
Because that woman who walked beside him is none other than the current commander of the Tenryou Commission—Kujou Sara.
If the Shogun is the thunder above the high sky, then Sara is the unstoppable lightning.
Lightning strikes first, followed by a frightening thunder.
As the Shogun's most trusted commander, even if the person walking with her is the Fatui's Brigade, the attitude of the people of Inazuma City would reverse.
After all, with Sara around to keep them in check, the Fatui can't cause trouble or stir up waves.
Moreover, without a mask and with a distinct difference in appearance from the people of the Snezhnaya, he doesn't look like a member of the Fatui's Brigade at all.
"This is Ogura Textiles & Kimonos, the forefront of fashion in all of Inazuma. There are plenty of choices to choose from here If you want to buy clothes."
Walking by Bai Luo's side, she appeared to be introducing the local customs and culture, but her tone was filled with impatience, it's a no surprise, the Tengu is wishing to do nothing but this, but she had no choice, because Bai Luo's condition was to have Sara, the "local," lead him on a tour of Inazuma City.
Initially, Sara was reluctant, but, considering the danger that the Harbinger may bfrin to the city if she refused it, she reluctantly agreed to his request.
Rather than saying she's accompanying him to tour Inazuma City, it's more accurate to say she's monitoring him on the side.
"Do you want me to buy you one?"
Looking at the numerous kimonos in the shop, Bai Luo asked with interest.
In his impression, Sara has always had a tomboyish appearance, speaking in a low voice, lacking the softness that a girl should have.
Even the last time they met in the mountains, she was in sturdy attire.
It seems like there's never a time when she looks charming.
"These clothes are too impractical for battle; I don't like them."
Sara rejected his offer without hesitation.
It's just as she said, As the commander of the Tenryou Commission, she always has to be prepared for battle, and, no matter how cute these clothes look, it looks more normal for it to be worn by the feminine noblewomans of Inazuma, not a rough girl like her.
"Really? *Sigh* Honestly Sara, It's a pity. I wanted to see how pretty you are in one, I believe it would be gorgeous."
"Are we really that familiar with each other?"
Hearing Bai Luo calling her directly, Sara showed a displeased expression.
In Inazuma, it's common to address someone by their surname or full name. Directly using someone's first name is considered somewhat offensive unless they are close with the other person.
"In Liyue, there's a saying: 'Meeting once to be an acquaintance, twice to be a friend.' Considering this is our second meeting, we can be considered friends now, so calling each other a bit more casually should be fine."
"How should I address you then?"
As the commander of the Tenryou Commission, Sara is also intelligent.
She understands that [Ausbilder] is not this person's real name.
So... Can she take this opportunity to get his true name?
"Hm? Well, just call me Bai Luo."
Names are something that will be revealed sooner or later.
Even if not publicly, someday, when a certain golden haired girl with a floating loli comes looking for him, his status bar might gain an extra title like [Fatui's Brigade 12th Harbinger: Bai Luo, The Ausbilder].
Speaking of which, he doesn't know if the traveler in this world is Lumine or Aether.
Well... before the plot starts, he doesn't know if he has any hopes of going to Mondstadt or Liyue.
After wandering around Inazuma City for a while, Bai Luo noticed that despite Sara's seemingly cold demeanor, she actually has a high reputation in Inazuma City.
Merchants passing by would greet them, and when buying snacks, some vendors would give them discounts out of respect for Sara.
"We're here."
After walking for a while, Sara suddenly stopped.
"What is it?"
Bai Luo instinctively stopped.
"Didn't you want to eat Tricolor Dango? They sell it here, and it's said to taste good."
Looking at the building nearby, Sara said.
Compared to other buildings in Inazuma City, this building is much more luxurious.
Not only is it taller, even the sign is grand.
It's comparable to a five-star hotel in Bai Luo's past life.
"Uyuu Restaurant?"
Looking at the sign, Bai Luo gradually remembered.
It seems that the secretary of the Kujou Clan mentioned before that Takayuki would welcome him at Uyuu Restaurant for a meal.
"Yes, Uyuu Restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Inazuma. Their dishes are comparable to Xinyue Kiosk and Liuli Pavilion in Liyue."
With this statement, Bai Luo also understood the status of this place.
Because those two restaurants in Liyue are also one of the must visit places in the Snezhnayan tourist guide book.
"Let's go."
Without waiting for Bai Luo's refusal, Sara directly pushed open the door of Uyuu Restaurant and walked in.
After entering Uyuu Restaurant, the first thing they saw was the elderly man at the counter.
He looked well past his prime, but his aura was not weak.
As the man who teaches almost all of the Pyro Agent, and someone who handles a lot of people who owe debt to Snezhnaya, Bai Luo considers himself good at judging people.
If he's not mistaken... This old man was once a military officer, and his position wasn't low.
