"Don't worry, Mr. Qiu Bai."
"Ayaka will definitely keep it secret."
Kamisato Ayaka looked at Qiu Bai in front of her and nodded in assurance.
"By the way, Lumine, I need you to go find Yae Miko."
"There's something I need her to help resolve."
Qiu Bai looked at Lumine in front of him and said with a smile.
He had helped Miko so many times, it was time for her to help him in return.
"What is it?"
Lumine asked with some confusion.
"Like this..."
"And also..."
Qiu Bai used his divine power to transmit his voice to Lumine, slowly explaining the details.
"I see. But why not have Ei resolve it herself?"
"If she handled it personally, it would surely be much more convenient."
Lumine placed one hand on her chest, looked at Qiu Bai in front of her, and said with some confusion.
"She rarely comes out to relax."
"This kind of matter is better left to Miko to resolve. I'm sure she knows what to do."
Qiu Bai pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Lumine in front of him and explained with a light smile.
"I understand, Qiu Bai."
"I happened to see Kujou Kamaji earlier, so that's what this was about."
Lumine looked at Qiu Bai in front of her and nodded with a smile.
"After the matter is resolved."
"Remember to come find me. The reward is one million Mora."
Qiu Bai looked at Lumine in front of him and said.
"One million Mora?!"
Paimon came over upon hearing this and said in surprise.
"What kind of task is it, Traveler."
"To make Qiu Bai offer so much Mora."
Paimon looked at Lumine in front of her, then at Qiu Bai behind her, and said with a shocked expression.
"We'll talk about it on the way, Paimon."
"Let's go to the Grand Narukami Shrine first to find Yae Miko."
Lumine looked at Paimon in front of her, put her hands on her hips, and said with a smile on her face.
This one million Mora would let her go without doing commissions for a long time.
"Ei, do you have something..."
"Like some kind of proof, where seeing you would be like seeing the Shogun herself."
Qiu Bai turned around, looked at Raiden Ei in front of him, and asked with a light smile.
"Mm... of course I do."
"It's called the Shogun Decree, but why are you asking me about this?"
Raiden Ei looked at Qiu Bai in front of her and asked with some confusion.
"Could I borrow it for half a day?"
Qiu Bai looked at Raiden Ei in front of him and asked.
"Mm..."
"If it's you, then yes."
Raiden Ei looked at Qiu Bai in front of her and nodded with a smile.
Then she took out a token and handed it to Qiu Bai.
"Thank you for trusting me, Ei."
Qiu Bai looked at Raiden Ei in front of him and said with a light smile.
Then he turned around and handed it to Lumine in front of him.
"Give this token to Yae Miko."
"Then tell her about the matter. Just say I asked her to help."
Qiu Bai looked at Lumine in front of him and spoke slowly.
"Mm, I understand, Qiu Bai."
Lumine nodded with a smile upon hearing this.
"Remember, you must return this Shogun Decree within half a day."
Qiu Bai looked at Lumine in front of him and reminded her.
Lumine nodded, then said goodbye to Ayaka and ran toward the Grand Narukami Shrine.
Seeing this, Paimon quickly flew after Lumine.
"I should go as well, Shogun-sama, and Mr. Qiu Bai."
"There are still some official duties within the Yashiro Commission that need to be resolved."
Kamisato Ayaka watched Lumine leave in the distance, then looked at Raiden Ei and Qiu Bai in front of her and said.
"You've worked hard."
"Since there are official duties to resolve, go back first."
Raiden Ei looked at Kamisato Ayaka in front of her and nodded.
"Rest well, Miss Ayaka."
"It's getting late."
Qiu Bai looked at Kamisato Ayaka in front of him and said with a light smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qiu Bai."
Kamisato Ayaka smiled and nodded, then walked toward the other side of the street.
"Let's go, Ei."
"Didn't you want to see Yae Publishing House?"
Qiu Bai turned around, looked at Raiden Ei in front of him, and said with a smile.
"Mm."
Raiden Ei nodded with a smile on her face.
Then Raiden Ei followed Qiu Bai toward the location of Yae Publishing House.
"S -Shogun-sama?!"
"Shogun-sama has personally visited Yae Publishing House, may I ask if you have any instructions?"
Kuroda looked at the approaching Raiden Ei and Qiu Bai nervously.
And Qiu Bai-san too, how could Mr. Qiu Bai be walking side by side with Shogun-sama?!
In his nervousness, Kuroda knocked all the light novels displayed in front of him to the ground.
He quickly bent down to pick them up, holding the light novels in his arms.
He looked at Raiden Ei and Qiu Bai with disbelief.
"It's nothing, don't be nervous, I'm just here to take a look."
Raiden Ei looked at Kuroda in front of her and explained.
"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. Are you asking about management aspects."
"Or publishing standards, or is it a fire safety issue?"
Kuroda looked at Raiden Ei in front of him and asked with a confused expression.
"She just wants to look at books."
"Don't be so nervous, Kuroda."
Qiu Bai looked at the nervous Kuroda in front of him and explained with a smile.
"Wait, Mr. Qiu Bai, what did you say?"
"S-Shogun-sama wants to read light novels?!"
Kuroda looked at Raiden Ei with shock upon hearing this.
"That's right, do you have any good book recommendations?"
Raiden Ei folded her arms across her chest and nodded innocently.
"Yae Publishing House novels are mainly targeted at ordinary people, with all kinds of bizarre content."
"Many of them probably won't suit Shogun-sama taste..."
Kuroda looked at the Raiden Shogun in front of him and said with a bitter smile.
"I'm just trying something new. Monotony is what lacks interest."
"Don't worry, as long as they're stories written with words, what's there not to understand?"
Raiden Ei looked at Kuroda in front of her and said somewhat innocently.
"Uh... um..."
"While that's true in principle..."
Kuroda scratched the back of his head upon hearing this, not knowing what to do.
"Mm..."
"Don't worry, Editor Kuroda. Even if there's something she doesn't understand, I'll explain it to her."
Qiu Bai touched his chin and thought for a moment, then looked at Kuroda in front of him and said with a light smile.
"Alright... then please move to that bookshelf over there."
"Those are all recent bestsellers."
Kuroda pointed to the bookshelf on the other side and introduced it.
"Including the award-winning work 'The Archon War: The Untold Secrets Between the Immortal Lord and the Geo Lord,'"
"Don't take it too seriously, just read it for fun."
Kuroda looked at Qiu Bai and Raiden Ei in front of him and said with a bitter smile.
"The Immortal Lord refers to the deity of Liyue, Morcius, right?"
"And the Geo Lord should be Rex Lapis."
Raiden Ei looked at Kuroda in front of her and asked with confusion.
Then she turned her gaze to Qiu Bai beside her, her eyes filled with intense curiosity.
Qiu Bai looked at this novel and his mouth twitched hard.
Good grief, they even made illustrations.
Just looking at the cover of this novel, there was a woman dressed in white robes.
Beside her was a man dressed in golden yellow clothes, holding a long spear.
The background was mountainous peaks, with the two standing on a cliff, looking at the distant sunset.
