Ei's ambition is to apologize to 99 people that she stripped out visions and killed. Tomo will be accompanying her in her adventures to help her fulfill her mission.
Ships included: Ei x Yae, Ei x Sara, Ittosara, Kazutomo, Xingy...
After the meeting with the tri-commission heads, Ei was inside of the Tenryou commission HQ.
"We have recently learned that some of the visions we've retrieved were fake but we really didn't mind" Sara said and gave Ei the last few 9 folders.
Ei opened a few and most were in Mondstadt, Sumeru, and Liyue. "Alright... I will travel tomorrow morning. I'll go talk with Yae. Take care of my duties on my behalf, Sara" Ei said and Sara bowed her head "Of course, Lady Shogun" Sara spoke obediently as she watched her excellency walk off.
Ei casually walks through the streets of her own city and felt uncomfortable of people around staring at her. She felt insecure walking out in the open. Ei rubbed the back of her hands, feeling nervous.
"Don't be scared, Ei... Imagine as if I'm beside you..."
Tomo's voiced echoed through her mind. Ei gathered up herself together and let out a deep breath with her eyes closed.
She then suddenly bumped into someone on her way. Ei opened her eyes gently and saw Aether right infront of her "Ouh... travelers?" Ei questioned "Ah! Hey Ei!" Paimon waved her greetings "I thought you two were in Fontaine" Ei said "Nice to meet you again, Ei" Aether waved while his other hand caressed his blond hair.
"Yeah we were! But..." Paimon paused "But... what?" Ei questioned "We were sent by the Queen to Inazuma 'to fetch something or someone that kindles with the storms'" Aether explained "Yeah! Whatever that means..." Paimon said and Ei hummed "Queen? So the ruler is no longer Forneus, huh" Ei mumbled and Paimon tilted her head, wondering what Ei was mumbling about "Are you saying something, Ei?" Paimon asked and Ei shook her head "Uhh... no.. no... don't pay attention to it...!" Ei said with her hands waving from side to side.
"Okay...?" Paimon trailed "Anyways, what are you two doing here?" Ei asked "We we're just having a meal treated by Yae" Aether responded "It's very important..." Paimon added with a nod after "A very important meal? May we join you guys perhaps?" Ei asked and Aether nodded as approval "Of course" he said "We? What do you mean by tha—" Paimon got cut off by Aether nudging her by his elbow "y'know, remember...?" Aether spoke to her in hush and Paimon came back with realization shown in her eyes.
"Oh right... right, right" Paimon said "How were you two doing, Ei?" Paimon asked "We're good like any other couples out there. Well, we sort of been having slight problems but it's nothing major or so..." Ei said with a smile "Problems? What kind?" Paimon asked and got nudged again by Aether "You're being nosy again, Paimon" Aether while greeting his teeth "Nevermind my question! How about let's go inside!" Paimon suggested and entered the restaurant before the others.
Aether glanced at Ei and opened the door for her "Ladies first" Aether gestured and Ei entered the restaurant.

Inside, she saw Yae talking to other people "Hey, Yae!" Paimon called with her usual loud pitch voice "Ah, there you are" Yae said with her hands resting on her hips "And I see you brought company" Yae's gaze turned towards Ei and a smile curved up her lips. Ei could only return with a smile as Yae's gaze soon returned towards the travelers.
"Since you two are already here, let me introduce you to the team" Yae announced "You've already met Junkichi and Shigeru. Shigeru is an experienced editor and Junkichi is the author he's partnered up with" Yae explained the status of the two partners and moved to a woman "Satomi is Yae publishing house's ace in the hole. Her specialty is that she can write all kinds of completely different stories and all under different pen names. As for what those names are, well, that's a trade secret" Yae said.
While Yae and Aether were talking, Ei was busy scanning through the menu "hmmm... which should I choose?" Ei mumbled out a question "Sakura mochi or ramen... which one? What do you think, Tomo?" Ei questioned in a whisper.
"Why not both?"
Tomo's voice echoed.
Ei nodded to his suggestion "Thank you, love~ what do you want for take out?" Ei questioned.
Ei waited for Tomo to answer but their communication was cut off by a tap on her shoulder that made her flinch.
"Uh-!?" Ei got surprised "Why are you constantly mumbling to yourself, Ei???" Paimon asked with her annoying loud pitch voice "Mumbling to myself...?" Ei uttered "You looked like you were stuck in a trance for a moment or so. It was like you were talking to a ghost" Yae spoke out of nowhere "To-to a ghost-?! No, no, nope! I would be frightened" Ei stuttered "She was literally talking to a ghost earlier..." Aether mumbled his comment.
Ei let out a brief sigh and remained her composure "Uhm... Do you need anything from me?" Ei asked and the travelers nodded "We were in a bit of a hiccup with the book we're trying to make" Paimon said "They have writer's block. If you could, are there any plots in your mind to add in the story, Ei?" Yae asked "Uhmm... hmmm... let me think" Ei hummed.
Ei shot back with a gleam in her eyes "How about add some romance? Fellow readers would love romance, right?" Ei suggested "Of course readers would love it" Aether spoke "Since when have you been interested in romance, Ei?" Yae asked with a brow raised but Ei kept herself silent.
"Oh! Paimon's got an idea!" Paimon raised her hand "What is it then, little one?" Yae asked "The Electro Archon has a long lost lover that she wants to bring back by the powers of the visions! That's why she ordered to confiscate all visions but in the end, she learned that taking away people's visions just makes things worst and she later learned that her lover was already gone!" Paimon said in full speed as she takes a deep breath after "The plot you made will make alot of sense towards the readers with the prototype stuff thing patched up with something sensible" Yae said and approve to add Paimon's given plot.
"Anyways, I'm curious of who this 'long lost lover' is. Have you given him or her a name?" Yae questioned and Paimon shook her head "His name will never be revealed!" Paimon exclaimed "We can just tittle him as 'the lover of thunder'" Aether said "Hmmm... I wonder where did you get inspiration from" Yae said.
While the others were talking, Ei just remained seated there while slurping the noddles of her ramen.
