"Love is an uphill struggle"
———

"That's my Lumine!"

(M/N) had to admit that watching Lumine fight was pretty fun. She was easily wiping out the competition and he could watch. It riled him up, maybe because he used to fight so much when he was a lot younger. It wasn't his fault. Morax just knew how to get on his nerves and so did Osial occasionally. Even the old pyro archon and Ping.

"Are you impressed? I would've thought that you have seen her fight stronger battles." Kazuha snuck up on the unfazed man.

"Yeah but I still appreciate all her fights. She's got spunk and I admire that. How about you?" (M/N) asked, not paying attention.

"I do as well but I'm more interested in you." Kazuha smoothly talked.

"Are you? Well, I'm a bit underwhelming unless you want to fuck me." (M/N) self proclaimed.

"Such a foul word, I'd rather make love."

Kazuha was quite the sneaky romantic but (M/N) felt that it wasn't honest. Well, not fully. He seemed in a constant dismay despite only knowing him for a few hours, reminding him of Razor's pouty face. Lumine ended up making it to the semi-finals but during their break, someone had snatched the vision. (M/N) did notice and asked Kazuha about it but he simply turned a blind eye before shrugging. What was this man trying to pull?

Oh well, (M/N) didn't bother either to chase after it, instead he let Lumine do the work. She wanted to wind fairly. He stood beneath the looming overhang of rocks, hiding in the shade. Beidou had to inform everyone of what had happened which surely brought down their reputation. She didn't care much about that but Ningguang just had to do a personal visit upon Beidou's 'rude' behaviour. He felt bad but stayed there as the people slowly dispersed.

The only one that stayed with him was the lady announcing the matches and the crew. Eventually, seeing Kazuha and Lumine return with Paimon elevated his mood. He should have been a bit more nosy but he was too tired to act upon asking how it went.

"We got the ticket to Inazuma." Lumine smiled.

"Great, is pretty boy coming with us or is he staying behind?" (M/N) asked.

"I will come with you but I can assure you that I won't be coming onto Inazuma personally. Though Captain Beidou is no longer present here, I'll be sure she received word of it. She is a woman of her word. But the voyage to Inazuma is a treacherous one. You will be plagued by a perpetual tempest the entire trip." Kazuha spoke.

"Huh?!"

"In fact the relentless rain and wind are also an embodiment of the Raiden Shogun's will to close the nation. Let us not forget this is one of the Seven Archons. If Liyue's Morax could form Guyun Stone Forest by casting down his stone spears, then it should come to no surprise that the Raiden Shogun is capable of summoning an entire tempest." Kazuha told.

"Woah, can (M/N) do that too?" Paimon looked excitedly at (M/N).

"Pff-! Sorry Pai but I'm not a free weather forecast. I'm more so towards other things. You'll see soon when I get back my memories properly." (M/N) laughed.

"Sufficient it to say that if you wish to journey to Inazuma, the Alcor will need some time. You will be notified once all the preparations have been made. In the meantime, I intend to embark on a journey of my own. I will travel across the vast lands of Liyue, in hope of finding a way to reawaken the vision." Kazuha finished.
