As they exited the restaurant, they walked around once more. The time flies quickly when you're with your friends, and yet so slow when you're all alone.

Yae then broke the silence between them and asked "Is there anything you want to buy before we go to our own separate ways?" Ei then thinks for a moment and nods her head "I want some tri-coloured dangos and 2 dango milk before we partways" Ei said making Yae giggle "Ara Ara~ you really have a sweet tooth, dont you, Ei?" Yae pinched Ei's cheek, making her groan.

After they brought the tri-coloured dangos, Yae and Ei bid farewell to eachother and partways. When Ei came back to the tenshukaku, she was suddenly blocked by Sarah whom said "Shogun-sama! T-the oni esca— Ei puts her finger on Sarah's soft lips to shush her.

Sarah blushed at the shogun's actions "you don't need to worry about the oni, Sarah. Are the documents already gathered?" Ei asked and Sarah followed her to her office "B-but shogu— Kojou was once again cut off by Ei "I'd already discussed things with him, He's free now, and here. Go to the bank and give Arataki Itto mora" The shogun gave Sarah a piece of paper "w-why are you giving him mora, shogun-sama?" Sarah asked while pointing at the paper "He said he's one of the 100 people that were stripped out and also, Sarah you should apologize to him aswell, since you also arrested him" Ei said and then dismissed her.

Ei then exited her office while carrying the dangos in a container and went to the room that was facing the garden. Ei walked around the garden and pluck out some lilies and roses. She then snuck out of tenshukaku and walk through chinju forest to the Kamisato estate.

She was then stopped by a guard near the entrance of the estate "Shogun-sama, are you here for an official business with the kamisatos?" The guard asked and the shogun shook her head 'no' "No, I'm just currently passing by" Ei said the guard nodded "I'm sorry, shogun-sama. Please continue on" Ei then continued to walk to the routeway to Tomo's grave.

When she got there, the cat was also there, like he was waiting for her to arrive. Ei then put the box of dangos and the flowers on Tomo's grave. She then clasped her hands together and started praying. When Ei finished she then took one dango and ate it, she also gave one to the cat, and set the last dango aside for the dead. Ei then drank half of the dango milk and shared the other half to the cat, she then poured the second dango milk on the ground, believing that the dead will drink it.

Ei sat there for a long time, not knowing what was coming. The sky soon turned dark, the sound of thunder grumbling from above, as water slowly sprinkles, until it was now raining cats and dogs. Ei carried the cat and Ei searched for a shelter nearby. She then ended up in Kamisato estate "ahh! Shogun-sama, please shelter here at Kamisato estate! You might get a cold from the rain" Thoma said and the shogun was now inside of Kamisato estate.

Thoma was running everywhere and gave the shogun warm towels and miso soup. He then excused himself and left the shogun for privacy.

Ayaka was in the otherside of the room, watching the rain fall heavely "hmmm... this rain is going to be a storm and would probably last for a day" Ayaka said and closed the door "Oh Thoma, is there something the matter? You seem in a haste" Ayaka said to the mondstadt conyo "T-the shogun is here" Thoma said and Ayaka was surprised "Really? Well you should make herbal tea for the shogun. Im going to greet her. Where is she?" Ayaka asked "She's on the second room down the hallway" Thoma guided and Ayaka walked up to the room and knock on the door.

Ei just finished her miso soup and heard a knock on the door "You may enter" Ei said and Ayaka come in and sat across from her "Shogun-sama, Welcome to the Kamisato estate. Is there any official business you want to accomplish with Kamisatos?" Ayaka asked "No. I was just passing by and I was caught on the rain" Ei said "I see. Is there any seen monsters nearby, shogun-sama? If there is, I will send troops to investigate the place" Ayaka said and Thoma came in with a tray of tea in it and placed it on the table "There's no need for investigation. I was visiting something or someone" Ei said while carressing the feline in her hands.

Thoma was pouring tea on each of their cups and set the teapot down "Visiting someone? There's barely people around those parts of the island" Thoma said and Ayaka nudged him "We'll not intrude any further in your private life, shogun-sama. If you require any assistance just let us know" Ayaka said before standing up "Thoma is your name, correct? May I talk to you for a moment?" Ei asked and Thoma nodded, and Ayaka left the room.

"You were the 100th person to be stripped out of your vision and I hope you forgive me for the actions I have commited. If there's anything you wish, Please state it" Ei said making Thoma speechless for her sudden apology "I forgive you, Shogun-sama. The actions that you commited are now in the past. If there's anything I want; I want you to give the three people whom also apart of the 100th people, give their visions back" Thoma said and Ei nodded "I'll give you their address tommorow, shogun-sama. For now please rest. They said the storm will last until tommorow" Thoma said before leaving the room.

Ei laid down in the futon prepared for her. She stared at the cat who was sleeping peacefully right next to her head. Ei patted the felines head, as it purred in the interaction "Hmmm... I should name you after him... Dachi" Ei then planted a small peck on the feline's forehead "sleep well, dachi" Ei then turned off the lamp next to her and soon fell to sleep.
