~Present~

"Vision Hunt Decree?" Y/n said to herself in shock as she heard of the new decree form the Shogun. "Yes," Ayato confirmed as Ayaka's lips parted in shock. The three siblings were in Komore Teahouse.

"But why would the Shogun so suddenly start this decree? It makes no sense," Y/n mumbled out. "The Shogun's outlook of 'eternity' must have changed. For now, we have no choice but to comply due to our clan's involvement in the Yashiro Commision." Ayato stated with a serious expression present on his face.

Y/n stared into space in sadness. How could the Shogun do such a thing? To strip away people's visions are like stripping away their ambitions. "I heard that Sangonomiya Kokomi is thinking of recruiting more troops for the resistance." Ayaka commented.

"That seems dangerous," Y/n remarked. 'We will just have to see in the future if it works out. If it does, I'll consider helping them with gathering their troops into Inazuma City." Ayato stated.

Y/n's mind then fell onto Kazuha as his clan recently had completely fallen. With his mother passing away shortly after he was born, and his father leaving him, he is the last of his clan.

Ever since then, Y/n has hardly heard from him. "I'll address this to Thoma later. I suggest that you two should head back to the estate to avoid any suspicion." Ayato suggested with a smile.

Ayaka and Y/n nodded as they made their way out of the Teahouse after bidding Ayato and Taroumaru farewell.

~Timeskip~

"I still can't believe that the Shogun imposed the decree..." Ayaka said in concern. "Me too,"

"Has Kazuha sent you any letters?" Ayaka asked inquisitively. "Unfortunately, no." Y/n replied as she stared at the floor while walking.

"Is that Kamisato Ayaka and Kamisato Y/n?"

"What are they doing out here? It must be important business!"

The nearby shop owners and people walking whispered amongst themselves. Y/n sighed as she quickened her walking pace, Ayaka getting the hint and following suit.

Not long after walking, a group of officers from the Tenryou Commision walked past them. "What is a group of Tenryou Commision officers doing here?" Ayaka questioned to herself.

"Vision Hunt Decree! Hand over your vision!" They yelled at a group of vision wielding people. Both of their eyes widened as they looked away. They couldn't bear to look at something so gruesome.

Once they were out of the scene, they both breathed out a sigh in relief. "So, since Ayato is busy today, do you want to spar with me later? Thoma can join too!" Ayaka suggested, trying to lighten up the mood.

"Sure!" Y/n replied as she nodded eagerly.

~Timeskip~

"My lady!" A Yashiro Commision Representative ran over to Y/n, seemingly out of breath. "What's wrong?" Y/n asked in concern as Ayaka tried to calm him down.

"Here is a letter sent to you from Kaedehara Kazuha," He gasped out. "What? Kazuha?" Y/n said in shock, her eyes widening. She then quickly took it and thanked the representative.

"Thank you for delivering this to me," Y/n said politely as the representative bowed and took his leave. "I can't believe it. It has been a while since you've seen him, so why would he suddenly send you a letter?" Ayaka questioned.

"I have no idea..." Y/n said to herself as she stared at the envelope. "I'll open it when we get inside. You can start sparring with Thoma first," Y/n said with a smile. "Alright. I'll see you later then!" Ayaka replied as she walked away.

"Oh, and if you want, I'll ask Ayato if he is free later. Then, we can all eat together in Komore Teahouse!" Ayaka suggested eagerly. "Sounds great!," Y/n replied with a nod. Ayaka gave her one final wave as she walked off.

Y/n then sighed as she walked into the estate, then into her room. 'I'm so happy that Ayaka and Ayato both treat me as their own sibling even though we are not blood related.' She thought as she smiled to herself.

She hummed as she sat at her desk. It had books arranged neatly on it. She then gingerly opened it and took out the piece of paper. She then unfolded the piece of paper and read the contents.

Dear Y/n,

It's been a while since we have seen each other, huh? How have you been faring? Unfortunately, as the sunny and warm weather has ceased, I have to leave Inazuma soon. As of now, I am with the resistance in Watatsumi Island. Her Excellency has graciously offered to shelter me with the resistance for now.

I have met this 'General Gorou'. He is a really good friend and responsible as well. I can see why Her Excellency has taken a liking towards him.

After a few weeks I might have to leave Inazuma for good. As for the reason, I will explain it to you when we meet again. I promise you that we will meet again. I do know that you are unable to leave Inazuma, so this might be the last form of communication from me for months or maybe years.

Tell Ayaka and Ayato I said 'Hi". Also, have the leaves in Inazuma city turned red yet? I hope you'll be able to remember that question :) I miss you so much and really hope that fate will bring us together very soon.

Love, Kazuha

The h/c-haired girl felt a whirlpool of emotions hit her. She felt tears welling up in her eyes as she clutched the piece of paper close to her chest.

"Y/n, I promise that I'll never leave you!"

That promise once made by her best friend was now broken. All she could do now was to hope for the best. She sat there, crying into her hands, the paper she once clutched tightly was now on the floor.

'What do I do?'
