Chapter 6: That girl, maybe she really is the Wind God
🕑 Added 2025-12-06 16:00:15 +0000 UTCWind?
She's the Anemo Archon?
He couldn't help but think this about the mysterious girl who had appeared before him. After all, the sudden gale and the fact that she was now floating in mid-air were clear indicators that she was no ordinary person.
But even so, he found it hard to believe that Mondstadt's Anemo Archon would appear before his very eyes, especially since he had heard that Mondstadt's Anemo Archon hadn't been seen in a very long time.
So…
What on earth was going on?
Gazing impassively at the girl in the air, Kamisato Ayato fell into deep thought.
"You are… Her Excellency, the Anemo Archon?"
Staring at the girl in astonishment, Thoma was trying his best to recall what the Anemo Archon's statue looked like. He had to admit, the girl did bear some resemblance to the statue.
But Her Excellency, the Anemo Archon…
Hasn't she been missing for a long time?
And even if she really was the Anemo Archon…
Why would she come looking for him?
How had he disrespected the Anemo Archon?
At this moment, Thoma was completely bewildered, with no idea what was happening.
Wait!
Could it be…
That what Her Excellency, the Shogun did a short while ago was actually related to the Anemo Archon?!
While Thoma was still confused, this thought suddenly occurred to Kamisato Ayato. He realized that if this were true, it would explain Her Excellency's actions.
Although the Shogun could let anyone she wanted into Inazuma, completely ignoring the lockdown decree, it was also true that she could simply follow the procedures.
So…
"Of course I am the Anemo Archon, but I don't need your belief."
Knowing that Kamisato Ayato and Thoma weren't entirely convinced of her identity as the Anemo Archon, Wendy said this.
Then, she waved her hand at the two of them.
She doesn't need our…
Hm?
"Whoa!"
Just as Kamisato Ayato was about to ponder the meaning of the girl's words, he suddenly felt himself being lifted into the air and moving at high speed, so fast that he couldn't open his eyes.
Besides the sound of the wind rushing past, all he could hear was Thoma's miserable scream, which made him a bit nervous. But being in mid-air, there was nothing he could do.
Thump—
After a moment, he felt as if he had fallen, but he was unharmed.
"Where… where are we now?"
Staggering to his feet, Thoma, still dazed, looked around with a baffled expression. Then, as if realizing something, he shouted, "Lord of the House, Lo—"
"I'm behind you, Thoma. Don't worry."
Before Thoma could shout a second time, Kamisato Ayato's voice came from behind him.
"Lord of the House, are you alright?"
Hurrying to turn around, Thoma looked at Kamisato Ayato with a worried expression and asked. He felt as if he had just been flying, and at an incredible speed.
"I'm fine."
After straightening his clothes, Kamisato Ayato began to survey his surroundings, and he found the environment to be very familiar.
"How are we back here?? Weren't we just in Ritou? Am I dreaming?"
Just as Kamisato Ayato realized where he was, Thoma's exceptionally surprised voice came from beside him.
However, Kamisato Ayato wasn't too bothered by it, because he was just as surprised, though he didn't show it as openly as Thoma.
"We shouldn't be dreaming." Looking at the area, which was clearly near his home, Kamisato Ayato concluded that they probably weren't dreaming. He then continued, "That girl, perhaps she really is the Anemo Archon."
Kamisato Ayato knew very well that only a god could instantly transport them from Ritou to Narukami Island; an ordinary person could never accomplish such a feat.
"Still 'perhaps' at a time like this?"
Just then, Wendy appeared in mid-air before the two of them again.
Because she didn't want them to meet Kaito's group just yet, Wendy had used the wind to bring them here directly.
"Her... Her Excellency, the Anemo Archon, I really didn't offend you. I haven't been back to Mondstadt in a long time."
Seeing Wendy again, Thoma was now convinced she was the Anemo Archon and hurriedly explained that he had truly not been disrespectful to her.
"So you only dare not disrespect me in Mondstadt?"
In response to Thoma's words, Wendy retorted with righteous confidence. In any case, she was definitely the Anemo Archon, which meant Thoma had to be the one in the wrong.
"Uh…"
Faced with the Anemo Archon's reply, Thoma was at a loss for words.
"Then…"
Just as Kamisato Ayato was about to ask a question, he suddenly noticed the Anemo Archon had vanished, forcing him to swallow the question he had prepared.
"Her Excellency, the Anemo Archon… is gone?"
Looking around and no longer seeing any sign of the Anemo Archon, Thoma said this with some uncertainty.
"The Anemo Archon…"
After confirming that the Anemo Archon had truly left, Kamisato Ayato began to ponder a question.
Why would the Anemo Archon appear here in Inazuma, and was the Shogun that Thoma met the real Shogun?
Standing in place, Kamisato Ayato felt that things were getting a bit beyond his expectations. He truly had not expected the Anemo Archon to appear.
"Lord of the House, should we head back first?"
At that moment, Thoma's words interrupted Kamisato Ayato's thoughts.
"Yes, let's go back for now."
After a moment's thought, feeling that the Anemo Archon might have brought them here for a reason, Kamisato Ayato quickly started walking towards his home.
He had a faint feeling that something might have already happened at home.
Behind the Kamisato Estate.
Her Excellency, the Shogun said my brother would be back soon…
Sigh…
I wonder what happened…
Standing behind 'Her Excellency, the Shogun,' Ayaka, whose gaze kept drifting towards her home, sighed silently. She knew something was about to happen to the Kamisato Clan.
Just a short while ago, after her brother and Thoma had left, she turned around to suddenly see Her Excellency, the Shogun appear inside the study, which gave her quite a fright.
However, Her Excellency didn't do anything upon arriving, simply coming to the back to wait.
Although she had a mountain of questions, seeing Her Excellency like this, she didn't dare to ask.
"Go and greet him."
Just then, Ayaka suddenly heard Her Excellency, the Shogun in front of her speak.
Greet him?
Greet who?
My brother?!
After a moment of confusion, Ayaka thought of her brother.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Without asking any further questions, Ayaka hurried towards her home.
