As the group returned to Kamisato residence…
Paimon: Oh, Ayaka! Guess who fulfilled all your wishes~!
But what Paimon got was silent
Paimon: …Ayaka?
Sekai: Uhh? Do they all went out for lunch?
Aether: Now that you said it… we still have our lunch right…
Paimon: Then let have one after we report to Ayaka.
The group decided to look around but what they found was Thoma who pause them for a moment before pointing to empty place in front of them. a little bit later, Ayaka appears with elegance before them catching the group attention.
She bows down to them.
Ayaka: (smile) Aether, Sekai, Paimon… it is a pleasure to finally meet you three, face to face, hehe.
Ayaka: I have heard all about how you helped out three friends. My sincerest thanks to you.
While Aether answer Ayaka greet, Sekai was panicking grabbing Paimon and put it in front of his face.
Paimon: What are you doing Sekai!
Sekai: Well, who know what kind of punishment will I get if someone know I lay my gaze on Yashiro lady! I don't want to be a eunuch!
Paimon: Huh? What is eunuch?
…
Aether: The damaged done by losing a Vision can't be completely undone.
Paimon: *sigh* Yeah… short of getting them their Vision back, it seems like there's no way to really help them… Um, Ayaka—how come this time you get to come out and meet us in person?
Ayaka: Hehe, because now that you have done the three things I asked of you, I consider you to be my friends. As you will observe, I dispense with the screen for Thoma, also
Thoma: (nodded) Mn-hmm
Sekai: Does that mean I will not have to be an enunch…
Silent fall between the group.
Aether: Sekai… you do remember this world didn't have same culture as your right?
Sekai: really? Damn it that just scare me…
Ayaka: Oh…! Ahahaha, Mr. Silver, you are most entertaining.
Sekai scratches his head awkwardly.
Ayaka: so, may you all be my friends…
The Shirasagi Himegimi joint her point finger together making a cute gesture.
Sekai: How can I say no, when you act like that.
Aether: Friend request accepted.
Ayaka: Hehe, thank you all, kindly. Back to the matter at hand. You have now witnessed the pain of those deprived of their Vision… what are your feelings on what you have seen?
Aether: It seems to be a fate worse than death.
Sekai: Herm… I don't know how to say it… somehow it makes me scared of Vision…
Paimon: Huh? why?
Sekai: Somehow, Vision holds the holder ambitions… but doesn't that scary… it like somehow after someone receive the Vision, the Vision act some kind of storage for their holder ambition… it become somewhat of holder outside organ or brain… but it specifically for ambition… doesn't that sound scary…
Aether: When you said it like that… it sounds like Vision is manipulating their holder brain…
Sekai: Yeah… sort of that… but still, because the Vision already become organ for their holder… want or not, our only way to save them was to returned their own Vision to it owner…
Ayaka: *sigh* …perhaps, in the eyes of a deity such as the Almighty Shogun, the lives of those who inhibit the world are inconsequential… Thunder's roar, lighting's flash, the wind's assault, and the rain's descent… all these things take place with no regard for the feeling of the common people. But I believe that surely you understand what they must endure.
Aether/Sekai: …
Ayaka: It seems that perhaps now, you can appreciate my feelings on all of this. In which case… perhaps you would be willing to reconsider your stance?
Aether: I will help you fight the Vision Hunt Decree.
Ayaka: You will? Really!?
Aether turned his head towards Sekai… who still pondering the danger of Visions… until Paimon nudge him.
Sekai: huh? owh well… whatever Aether said.
Aether: Then… we'll help… but you must keep the promise you made me.
Ayaka: (giggled) Naturally, hehe.
Thoma: Alright, bravo, milady. You were right all along.
Ayaka: See… I told you they wouldn't reject them. I'd place my trust in the right person after all.
The Shirasagi Himegimi told Thoma and turned her attention back to the group.
Ayaka: Now then, given that the remainder of our discussion pertains to matters of a more… confidential nature… perhaps we could move to the Komore Teahouse? We ought not to involve other members of the Yashiro Commission.
-Timeskips-
Kamisato Ayaka and Thoma take the trio once again to Komore Teahouse…
Paimon: (sigh) Well, here we are again…
Thoma: Please, continue without me. I'll keep watch.
Thoma left the trio with Ayaka to continued their discussion. Ayaka, told how they as Yashiro Commission has tried their best to convince shogun to take back the Vision Hunt Decree, but their pleas didn't get to her.
The Shirasagi Himegimi didn't have other plan but told the gang about the resistance on the Watatsumi Island. From there, she also talked about the resistance inside the main island and how they fake their Vision much to the gang dismay due to remind about one tone deaf bard.
Ayaka told them to meet her insider at Naganohara Fireworks, where the gang meet with one blond girl.
The girl's name Yoimiya have hair tied into a high ponytail that messily sticks out in all angles. She wears many festivals themed hair accessories.
Her attire mainly consists of a short orange-red kimono with only one sleeve worn. Her right sleeve is rolled up past her elbow and tied with a string. The left half of the kimono is draped around her waist. Her chest is wrapped up in sarashi, as are her left forearm and upper thighs, extending down to her leg. A festival pouch hangs from her waist on the left, and her Vision is secured to her obi on her right.
Paimon: Huh, what's going on!? Can't you see we need to help…
Yoimiya: Shh! Quiet! Just sit tight and watch for a moment…
Paimon: Hey! This isn't right, y'know! Just because you don't have a Vision doesn't mean you can sit back and watch others in trouble… Huh? Hey wait… you do have a Vision!
Sekai hearing Paimon screaming, immediately held Paimon mouth to keep it down.
Yoimiya: Shhh! If you don't keep your voice down, I won't have one much longer!
The Guard managed to grab the Vision from his prey, showing arrogant smile while leaving, but just then the victim walked slowly toward the gang direction.
Hanshirou: Phew! Many thanks, Miss Yoimiya. If you hadn't swapped me a fake just now, I'm sure I would lose it.
Yoimiya: No worries! You put on quite the convincing performance.
Sekai: So, the Vision they took was fake?
Aether: Remind us on Venti huh…
Paimon: Ohh, so that's what's going on here! And to think Paimon was about to unleash Paimonial wrath on Miss Yoimiya… hehehe… sorry about that.
Yoimiya: Haha, ahh think nothing of it! I could tell from your reaction we were on the same side—you just didn't know it, y'know?
Yoimiya: Alright—allow me to introduce myself. I'm Yoimiya, the daughter of Naganohara Fireworks. It aint much, but it's honest work, hehe. Great to meet ya!
Hashirou: Practically everyone in Hanamizaka knows Yoimiya. She the "Queen of the Summer Festival" without her fireworks, summer on Narukami Island just wouldn't be the same.
Paimon: Whoa, that quite the introduction! Paimon loves fireworks! It's nice to meet you.
Yoimiya: Hee-hee, stop it Hanshirou, you'll embarrass me! As for thanking me, you'd be better off thanking Master Masakatsu. He's the one that gave me the fake Vision in the first place.
Yoimiya: His handiwork allowed me to keep my own Vision. Whew, I can't even imagine trying to run business without it…
Hanshirou: Yes, Master Masakatsu is a good man. It's too bad good people seldom get the recognition they deserve.
Paimon: Master Masakatsu!?
Yoimiya: Huh? Do you guys know him too?
Aether: Miss Kamisato mentioned his name.
Yoimiya: You don't say! Then it sounds like the Shirasagi Himegimi has a plan… Awesome! I've been thinking about breaking him out too recently.
Yoimiya: But if I just marched straight in there by myself, I'd probably get Miss Kamisato in a whole heap of trouble, hehe… so… what about if I join you instead!?
Paimon: Sure! Welcome to the team! Ayaka told us to go look for help at a fireworks shop. She must have meant you!
The group went to Police Station to save Master Masakatsu, but the entrance of the Police Station was heavy guarded. After determining who should become the sacrifice with the best of three (Rock, Paper, Scissor game). It was decided that Sekai luck was a bunch of crap that day. What does he expect from his E rank luck. Damn you Shiro!
Sekai: Fine I will do it!
Paimon: Pft! Good luck Sekai.
Sekai: Goddamn it… Here goes nothing.
Sekai walks towards the Shogunate Samurai that was guarding the gate, the guard notice him and starts questioning why he stand in front the Police station.
Sekai: Hey look here!
The guard turned their attention towards him, only to be surprised by him rising middle finger towards them.
Sekai: Catch you letter shogun dog…
That managed to trigger a bunch of Shogunate Samurai, and they start to chase him.
Sekai: Well, that easier than what I thought…
Shogunate Samurai: STOP THAT BRAT!
Sekai quickly made and escape route toward the crowd and tried to blend in. As the guard keep getting near him, Sekai takes chance to use Light Flash to deter everyone there and Light speed away from the scene.
This cause the Shogunate to lose sight of him. But they didn't deter by that and start doing inspection here and there. Some of them even return to the headquarter to request for backups. Despite their best effort, they still couldn't find the Shinning Hero anywhere.
Unknown to them, Sekai is actually hide on top of nearby tree.
Sekai: Damn… They just don't know, when to quit.
???: And you're quite hard to find.
Sekai: Huh?!
The Silver turns around to see a woman with indigo hair cut into an uneven bob and golden eyes.
Her attire is primarily black and white, with hints of mauve, red and gold. The Kujo Clan crest adorns various parts of her outfit. Her Electro Vision can be seen on a yellow bow attached to her belt, from which hangs a decorative black and white yuigesa.
On the side of her head lies a red tengu mask that resembles a crow's face, having white accents, a black crest and hexagonal piece resembling a tokin.
Being a tengu, she has two pairs of black raven-like wings that can unfurl from her back and wields a black feather fan. She also wears red and gold tengu-get sandals.
Sekai: Wow, I wasn't expecting Lady tengu to be my escort.
The woman raised an eyebrow at the Silver Knight remarks about her.
???: You know about Youkai?
Sekai: Tengu, Oni, Kitsune, Kappa and other types of Youkais, eh pretty much yeah.
???: I'm Kujou Sara. You may forget my name, but this you must know: On my watch, Inazuma will always be defended, and the will of the Shogun will always be done. Deity or Demon, if you make an enemy of me, you will be struck down!
She said before pulling out her bow and aimed towards Sekai who just smirked at her.
Sekai: Well now, that's quite the introduction, don't ya think? Anyway, I'm Tsukasa Silver, a passing by traveler.
Sara: I suggest you too surrender, peacefully without any resistance.
Sekai: Yeah, I'm gonna check up on that rain-date, sorry old women no can do.
Sara: Then I shall bring you by force!
As Sara unleashed a lightning bolt arrow straight toward the Shinning Hero, the bolt completely pulverizes the Sakura tree leaving no trace of Sekai on sight.
Sekai: Cool trick! Hey do you do parties?
Sara: What?!
She turned around just to see Sekai completely unharmed by her attack and leaning onto the half-destroyed Sakura trees again.
The Tengu attempted to strike him again, however Sekai launched himself towards her and drop-kick her in the chest directly sending her flying.
As she manages to recompose herself as she looks around, she notices that the Silver Knight already gone.
She let out a scowl and regroup with the Shogunate samurais then organized an entire manhunt for the Silver Knight.
Sekai, who currently on the run right now after he got compromised by Kujo Sara as Shogunate Samurai in pursuit of his capture.
However, the Shogunate dogs seemed to have failed in multiple attempts to subdued the Silver Knight in every chance they have. It makes them wonder if he actually just toying with them.
Right now, Sekai is currently on a rooftop again and seems to be cornered by Shogunate dogs.
Guard: Nowhere left to run, now!
Sekai: (Sigh) Well… I already delayed long enough. It's time to end this cat and mouse game.
As the shogun dogs draw out their weapon and slowly takes up positions surrounding the Silver knight, They charge all at once, only to be put down by Sekai with light beam.
Soon all guards stopped moving and fall like dog they are. Sekai blew his fingers and release a sigh of relief.
Sekai: These guys is quite persistence, that why they qualified to be shogun dog.
Sekai: Welp, glad that was over, time to head back, hope Aether success in rescuing Master Makatsu.
