—
Tenshukaku, Inazuma City.
Raiden Shogun, who had been meditating with her eyes closed before the throne in the main hall, opened her eyes.
In the air, a bright electric arc streaked across.
"Such pure lightning. Has the king of those monsters from the seabed revived? Or is it some evil creature that slipped in from outside?"
Raiden Shogun extended one hand, and the naginata hanging on the rack in the distance instantly flew over, grasped firmly in her hand.
"Ei: Where are you going?"
"There is a powerful, unidentified Electro user. I shall go subdue it."
It was the Shogun controlling the body, not Ei, so it looked as if Inazuma's Electro Archon was talking to herself.
"Ei: Are you going out? But the kitchen will be repaired soon, aren't you going to continue cooking?"
"With all due respect, the kitchen at home undergoes minor repairs every three days and major repairs every seven. I do not consider your random Splicing of ingredients to be cooking."
"Hmph! Don't forget, you can't cook either!"
"I am merely a puppet. Even my creator doesn't know how to cook, so how could she imbue me with such a function?"
Raiden Shogun spoke truthfully.
But her words completely broke Ei's composure.
She instantly fell silent.
Raiden Shogun narrowed her eyes slightly, and after a moment's thought, called out towards the door.
"Sara!"
"Your subordinate is here! General, what are your orders?"
A voice from outside the door quickly replied.
"Take some people to investigate an area 30km west of Konda Village. There's an unusual concentration of Electro elements there, and it's possible a highly pure Electro Elemental creature has been born. If you cannot defeat it, seek help from this one."
"At that time, I will deliver a decisive slash!"
Ruthless words flowed from Raiden Shogun's lips.
Even through a door, Kujou Sara felt a sharp blade flash across her neck.
"Understood! General!"
Then, Kujou Sara took two guards and left the Tenshukaku.
Raiden Shogun returned to her throne, placing her naginata across her lap as she sat in quiet meditation.
She murmured softly.
"If I learn to cook, that person will return. Is the prophecy brought by that fox truly feasible?"
...
At this moment, on the beach west of Konda Village.
The fireworks Yoimiya made had already finished.
After resolving her inner turmoil, she showed why she was called the Summer Queen.
She immediately gained a little fan girl.
"Yoimiya, you're amazing! Klee wants to learn too, can you teach Klee?"
"Haha, no problem, no problem."
The two hit it off instantly, quickly establishing a master-apprentice relationship.
Then Yoimiya looked at Jack.
"Now it's your turn. When you were making fireworks just now, I saw you take out materials I'd never seen before. It must be a very special firework, right?"
"Naturally."
It was powder ground from fire dragon scales; how could it not be special?
Jack took out the firework he had made.
It had a conical warhead, then a cylindrical body, and a tail fin resembling a fish's fin at the rear.
Aside from a fuse, it looked more like a missile.
But since Yoimiya had watched Jack make it with his own hands, she believed that no matter how outrageous it was, it would at most be a few times the scale of Klee's bombs.
"You all should retreat a hundred meters from the beach. I'll go place it in the deep sea area."
"??"
The group looked at each other, a question mark appearing above their heads.
But out of trust in him, they still each led a loli and retreated a hundred meters away.
From a distance, Jack saw Klee waving at him, so he picked up the firework and flew towards the deep sea area.
"First-grade magic talisman ignited, second-grade magic talisman exploded, plus the ground fire dragon scale powder, and a concentrated Electro Element catalyst. I wonder if the power of this firework can match the explosion of the fire dragon's heart that day."
Jack's initial estimation was that it couldn't.
After all, although magic talismans were added as a influencing parameter, mere first and second-grade magic talismans couldn't compare to rare items like a fire dragon's heart, unless he could get things like a third-grade magic talisman lightning.
He flew for about a thousand meters.
The color of the ocean turned dark blue.
After driving away the surrounding aquatic creatures, Jack transformed into a bomber, dropping the missile-shaped firework in his hand.
As the firework rapidly sank to the seabed, the Pyro Element power remaining on it activated, and the fuse ignited directly underwater.
A grand artistic performance was about to begin.
...
Okuzume camp.
Kujou Sara had gathered about twenty to thirty elites.
Then she prepared to explore the location Raiden Shogun had mentioned.
Although the General said that if they were outmatched, she could help.
But Kujou Sara's pride was at stake, and she was willing to proactively clear all obstacles for the General.
Just as the group she led had left the Tenshukaku not long ago.
At the same time, Jack set off his special firework.
Because the Tenshukaku was located at a high elevation, and the Tengu Monsters had excellent eyesight.
Kujou Sara saw a bright glow flash in the extreme distance over the sea.
"What... was that?"
Although it was very far away.
But her Tengu instincts told her that an attack no less powerful than the General's Musou no Hitotachi had probably erupted there.
Her foot, which had been stepping forward, froze in mid-air.
Could it be that she had to ask for General Raiden Shogun's help right after leaving the door?
Kujou Sara hesitated for half a second, then refused to ask Raiden Shogun for help.
At least, she had to persist until she understood the situation.
The unwavering conviction of a warrior led Kujou Sara to make this judgment.
"Speed up! The demon might have already arrived!"
"Yes! General!" x N
...
Coincidentally.
In another direction from Konda Village.
Four street thugs also noticed the unusual situation on the sea surface.
"Hiss~ What's going on over there, Aki, let's go take a look!"
"Ah! No way, boss, it looks really dangerous over there. Didn't you hear that huge explosion?"
"Exactly, boss, with our small frames... Let's just forget it."
Arataki Itto knocked each of the two protesting subordinates on the head.
"As members of the Arataki Gang, how can you be so negative? Inazuma is in trouble now, and we should step up! We absolutely cannot let the Kujou Tengu and their group steal the spotlight again."
"The last sentence is the key, isn't it?"
The subordinate named Genta grumbled.
The three couldn't argue with the stubborn Arataki Itto, so they took another, closer route and also rushed towards the beach where Jack and the others were.
...
At the site of the explosion.
Jack looked at the three to four hundred-meter-high waves and nodded in satisfaction.
"The effect was a bit unexpected. I must have forgotten to account for Teyvat's elemental reactions. At that time, the fire dragon's heart detonated in the inert element world of MC. If translated to Teyvat, it could probably blow up a small mountain range."
After briefly recording the parameters of this explosion experiment.
Jack raised his hand, preparing to deal with the aftermath of this impulsive experiment.
Immediately, endless Anemo Element gathered around him.
A vortex-shaped cage formed around the waves. The rising waves wanted to spread in all directions, but they were firmly blocked by the wind wall.
A hemispherical structure over a thousand meters in diameter formed above the ocean, causing nearby ronin and adventurers alike to kneel and marvel at the divine miracle.
A few minutes later.
The unsupported waves had their kinetic energy dissipated by the storm, and so they turned into raindrops, gradually returning to the ocean.
Jack, having completed his task, flashed and appeared beside Ganyu, Yoimiya, and the others.
"All the fireworks have been test-detonated. Let's go back to the shop, what do you say, Yoimiya?"
"..."
"Why aren't you talking, Yoimiya? Did the explosion just now hurt your ears?"
"No!"
Yoimiya suddenly answered very loudly, as if giving up on herself.
"This isn't a firework at all! I... I'm not talking to you anymore!"
