Genshin Impact: I'm The Envoy of Snezhnaya (Patreon)

Chapter 21: Shogun's Favorite

Beside his power of assassination, Bai Luo has many non-combat advantages.

Not to mention the identity of the Foolish People's Executive alone, just his understanding of everyone due to his past as a world traveler is a huge advantage for him.

For example, who would have thought that the seemingly contemptuous Yae Miko was once persecuted endlessly by Klee's mother, Alice, to the point where she would ramble about it in tears.

Due to being a player who mostly played the game for the gameplay and not the lore, he doesn’t really know if the Shogun really liked the Tri-Color Dango or not, since it’s something that he are only aware due to browsing reddit to search for some ‘XXX’ image of Raiden Shogun x Aether, but that doesn’t stop him from trying to trick Sara into believing she does.

If she doesn’t believe him, then nothing is lost, but if she believes him?

"Does the Shogun like this kind of thing?"

As it turns out, Kujou Sara is not as easy to deceive as Bai Luo thought. In her eyes, the position of Raiden Shogun is very high.

Let's put it this way.

If Raiden Shogun wants to confiscate the Vision of Kujou Sara, she will definitely hand it over without hesitation.

Not to mention the Vision, even if it's her life, she won't hesitate to hand it over.

When she fell from the mountain in her childhood and came out unscathed, it was because the Shogun saw her at that moment.

The Gods saved her, her life no longer belonged to her but to Raiden Shogun.

Although she didn't know that the issuance of the Vision had nothing to do with Raiden Shogun, even if she knew, it would not shake her belief.

For her, assisting Raiden Shogun in achieving eternity is the most important.

Even if she knows that there won't be her figure at the end, it's worth it.

In her eyes, The Shogun would not be interested in such commoner-level food.

And Bai Luo's words are a blasphemy to her.

"Of course"

Shaking the Tricolor Dango in his hand, Bai Luo explained.

"Haven't you noticed what the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine brings when she goes to see the Shogun?"

With that woman's perverse taste, she would definitely often bring Tricolor Dango to the neet.

As for whether the said need, who spent the last few hundred of years cooped up in her Plane of Euthymia, will come out to see her or not, is something that he does not know of.

As long as Sara once saw her carrying these things in, it would be enough.

"..."

Sara fell silent.

As an active-duty Commander of the Tenryou Commission, she often runs to the Tenshukaku.

Whether she can see the Shogun's face or not, she still has to do her daily routine greetings.

So she often meets the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine.

As for her impression of that woman…

That perverse Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine does often bring Tricolor Dango to the Shogun's residence.

More importantly, according to the information she has, the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine's favorite food should be Aburaage.

So, her purpose in bringing Tricolor Dango to the Tenshukaku...

Gurgle...

Looking at the last Tricolor Dango in Bai Luo's hand, Sara subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

Whether she likes to eat it is one thing, but the important thing is, if the Shogun really likes this kind of thing...

"Do you want a bite?"

Looking at the wings that seemed to be spreading behind the Tengu, Bai Luo knew that the fish was about to take the bait.

So he increased his effort.

Kujou Sara can definitely be said to be Raiden Shogun's number one fan. Faced with the Tricolor Dango that her Shogun likes the most, she finally begins to waver internally.

Regardless of whether she has eaten this thing before or not, after learning that the Shogun likes this food, the current Tricolor Dango has a new meaning for her.

"Ah, m."

Under the surprised gaze of the Okazaki couple, Sara gently swept the strands of hair on the side of her face behind her ear, with a hopeful and flustered expression. She bit into the Tricolor Dango that Bai Luo handed her.

The usually reserved Kujou Sara showing such an expression?

Even Okazaki Rikuto, who was familiar with her, found it unbelievable.

Could it be that he guessed right?

Regardless of what he thought, after noticing the expressions on the faces of the Okazaki couple, Bai Luo knew that he had succeeded.

Making others misunderstand that he and Kujou Sara were in a relationship was not something that he did due to his capricious taste.

Compared to the identities of the envoy of the Snezhnaya and one of the Fatui Harbinger, having the identity of Kujou Sara rumored boyfriend seems more suitable for him to gather information in Inazuma.

And places like izakayas are the best for spreading information.

From his experience, especially from his previous life, he believed that in just half a day, rumour about him and this blank-faced Tengu being a couple and are currently on a date would already be spread across the whole Inazuma City.

After finishing their meal, they placed their mora on the table–Bai Luo placing twice as a tip to the couple, and left the restaurant, and once again started to wander the streets of Inazuma City.

Kujou Sara was unaware that she had been used by Bai Luo.

She was still savoring the taste of the Tricolor Dango from earlier. Even though she claimed to dislike sweets, after actually tasting it, the flavor was unforgettable.

After passing through the town street, they arrived at Hanamizaka.

Hanamizaka is the commercial street of Inazuma, similar to the Yujing Terrace of Liyue Harbor.

And this place is filled with various shops.

Such as the Naganohara Fireworks Store, the Amenoma Smithy, and the Kiminami Restaurant, and so on.

The most famous among these shops is Yae Publishing House.

Yae Publishing House, in fact, is a bookstore on Hanamizaka.

Compared to other countries, the books here are a novel genre called "light."

Compared to the formal books filled with small and difficult-to-understand characters, light novels often use common spoken language, making them relatively easy to understand.

In addition to light novels, they also sell things related to them, such as dolls, posters, figures, and accessories.

"Kujou-sama, welcome to Yae Publishing House."

Seeing Kujou Sara, one of the editors of Yae Publishing House, a man named Kuroda suddenly spoke up.

Because of the influence of the big shots behind them, Yae Publishing House, even if it occasionally sells some "excessive" light novels, is relatively easy to pass the review.

For example, books like "Reincarnated as Raiden Shogun" and "Please Take Care of My Fox Shrine Maiden" that would definitely be thrown into the forest to feed bears in other countries.

And when it comes to Raiden Shogun, there is inevitably related merchandise.

When Kujou-sama just started as the acting commander, she led the Tenryou soldiers to confiscate these peripherals under the charge of "defiling the honored god and goddess."

Later, it was Lady Yae herself who personally intervened to resolve the issue.

Since then, whenever Yae Publishing House produces peripherals related to the Shogun, Kujou Sara is definitely the first to come.

But this time, it's not to confiscate the peripherals. It is to buy all the peripherals under the excuse of "not wanting the common people to defile Raiden Shogun."

In a sense, Kujou Sara is their biggest customer at Yae Publishing House.

"I'm just here for sightseeing; I'm not buying anything today."

Kujou Sara's eyes occasionally fell on the portrait of Raiden Shogun hanging nearby. Unfortunately, that portrait is the treasure of Yae Publishing House and will not be sold.

Otherwise, she would have "snatched" everything.

With her financial power, buying these things is not a problem at all.

After all, despite how she looks and behaves, she is one of the richest girls in the whole of Inazuma.
