Inazuma City.
That Miko...
What exactly is she doing?
Standing beside the Tenshukaku, which was currently under reconstruction, Ei was still dwelling on the previous events.
The inexplicable theft of the Visions had already given Her a headache, and then Miko had brought along such a peculiar human.
Forget it...
Miko should be coming to find me later...
Turning her head to watch the various personnel bustling about, helping to clear up the building that had been reduced to ruins, Ei decided to stop overthinking it. She knew that Miko would definitely come to find Her alone later to explain everything clearly.
For now, She decided to go visit the Statue of the Omnipresent God again. Since She had nothing else to do at the moment, it was a good opportunity to take another look; perhaps there would be some unexpected gains.
With that in mind, Ei began walking towards the direction of the Statue of the Omnipresent God.

A short while later.
Speaking of which...
I won't just happen to run into the Raiden Shogun here, will I?
Walking leisurely through the streets of Inazuma, Wendy couldn't help but think this. Just moments ago, the Raiden Shogun had left Kaito's side, and She would definitely be returning to Inazuma City.
Whatever...
If we meet, we meet...
It's not like I'm afraid of Her...
Thinking this, Wendy scanned the streets on both sides to see if there were any Inazuman specialties. But just then, she suddenly noticed that the people ahead seemed to be discussing something.
"It's Her Excellency, the Shogun."
"The... The Shogun? I can't let Her Excellency see me looking like this..."
The Shogun?
Did I actually run into Her?
Hearing the continuous murmurs coming from ahead, Wendy was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that her casual thought from a moment ago would actually come true.
I wonder if She will think I am Venti?
Continuing to look ahead, Wendy suddenly thought of this amusing possibility.
She knew that the Raiden Shogun rarely interacted with Venti. Although both were members of The Seven, for the past few hundred years, the current Raiden Shogun had been hiding behind the scenes, rarely appearing on the front stage.
And even when She moved from behind the scenes to the front due to the death of the previous Electro Archon, She had initiated the Sakoku Decree, making exchanges with the outside world even scarcer.
"Her Excellency."
Just as Wendy was wondering whether she would be recognized by the Raiden Shogun, she heard people addressing the Raiden Shogun from a closer distance.
Forget it...
Let's step to the side first...
Let's see if She notices me...
With this in mind, Wendy stood to the side like everyone else, silently watching the approaching Raiden Shogun.
It seems...
I haven't done this in a long time?
Their thoughts...
Are they still the same as back then?
Nodding occasionally to the people around Her, Ei suddenly realized that it had been a very long time since She last did this. She knew that the lifespan of mortals was very short; the people who saw Her walk out like this last time were surely no longer around.
So, She couldn't help but wonder: with mortals replacing one another like this, would there inevitably be some changes?
It had to be said, the human Miko brought had given the current Ei some thoughts that definitely wouldn't have appeared before.
Hmm?
Seeming to spot someone familiar in Her peripheral vision, Ei, who was walking forward, immediately stopped in Her tracks. Then, while pondering who the other party was, She turned around to look to the side.
The Anemo Archon???
Locking eyes with the other party, Ei was momentarily stunned. She hadn't expected to see the Anemo Archon, whom She hadn't seen for a very long time. It was just that, for some reason, the current avatar of the Anemo Archon seemed somewhat different from the one in Her memories.
It has been so long...
Perhaps He changed His avatar...
Still standing in place, Ei arrived at this conclusion after a moment of thought. However, there was one thing She still couldn't figure out: why had the Anemo Archon appeared without notifying Her?
Never mind...
Let's go over first...
Thinking of the Anemo Archon's carefree personality, Ei didn't dwell on it any longer and walked straight towards the 'Anemo Archon'.
Meanwhile, as She walked over, Wendy was also thinking about some things internally.
Did She not see through it?
Although she was indeed holding the Anemo Archon's Gnosis right now, Wendy knew she wasn't the Anemo Archon—or rather, the drunkard—that the Raiden Shogun knew. Yet, even so, it seemed she had successfully deceived the Raiden Shogun.
She's coming...
In the brief moment Wendy was thinking, the Raiden Shogun had already arrived in front of her.
"Lord Anemo Archon, since you have arrived here, why did you not inform me?"
Looking at the avatar that was clearly in the form of a young girl, Ei hesitated for a moment but still greeted the other party as if nothing were amiss. It had to be said, She felt something was not quite right.
But simply because They hadn't seen each other for far too long, Ei attributed everything to this fact. Since They hadn't met in ages, it was reasonable to feel unaccustomed to meeting again now.
She actually didn't notice?
Hearing the other party address her as 'Lord Anemo Archon', Wendy was also astonished. Although she had hoped not to be exposed, she hadn't expected the Raiden Shogun to truly fail to see through it. But since she hadn't been found out, she could indeed pretend to be Venti.
Anyway, it was quite boring right now; she might as well do something interesting.
"I just came over to have some fun, no need to trouble you. However, if you could entertain me with wine, then I... could trouble you a little bit."
Recalling what Venti would say, Wendy mimicked His manner of speaking.
Wine, is it...
It seems He is still the same...
Although it still felt a bit strange, hearing the other party mention wine made Ei feel things were normal again. However, Her residence was currently under reconstruction, so She definitely couldn't host the Anemo Archon there.
Then...
Find a place selling wine outside to host Him?
But if I do that...
It seems a bit inappropriate...
Standing in place, Ei fell into deep thought. Regardless of anything, the other party was an existence equal to Herself; finding a random place would be improper.
But soon, She thought of a very suitable location. That's right, it was Miko's place. She just didn't know if Miko and her little boyfriend were doing anything there right now.
But no matter what, that was indeed a very suitable place.
"Lord Anemo Archon, please follow me."
After thinking it over, Ei decided to use Miko's place as the venue to host the Anemo Archon. As for whether Miko and her boyfriend were doing anything there, She wouldn't pay that much attention to it.
