Opening 5
.
After leaving the Grand Narukami Shrine, the two manage to catch up with Sara just outside Tenshukaku.
Paimon: Sara!
Sara: Hmph, you followed me here? You've got guts, I'll give you that. Since you are witnesses, I suppose I can shield you from arrest — at least until I have received an explanation from Takayuki.
Lucius: ...
Sara: But... if it turns out that you have been deceptive in this matter, then not only will you be arrested immediately, but you'll also be charged with one more crime. Do I make myself clear?
Lucius: Hmph, understood.
Sara: Good.

After entering the Tenryou Commission Headquarters, Lucius and Sara quickly had to go through a wave of guards who won't allow them through.
After knocking all of them out, an elderly man angrily walks out, visibly outraged at the scene at hand.
Takayuki: Stop! Sara, have you gone insane!? How dare you disregard my orders!
Sara: M—Master, I...
Lucius: Hey! Don't let him intimidate you, Sara!
Sara: Master Takayuki, I've seen the report to the throne and the letter to the Fatui... Please, tell me why!
Takayuki: So this is how my documents went missing from headquarters? You stole them...
Sara: Should I take your words to mean that... these documents were not forgeries? They were really penned by your own hand? Please tell me, Master, I need to know... Has the Tenryou Commission really... betrayed the Shogunate!?
Takayuki: (sigh) Yes, I have dealings with the Fatui. And yes, the report you saw was penned by my hand.
Lucius: He admits it without showing any shame.
Takayuki: The diplomats from Snezhnaya promised a very generous reward indeed... and all they requested of me in return was to see that the Vision Hunt Decree is upheld.
Takayuki: So, when the chance arose to gain the backing of another powerful nation and crack down on our enemies at the same time... It appeared to me to be an excellent deal. I simply saw no need to inform you, Sara.
Sara: But... you worship the Shogun. How can you betray her after all this time and act like it's nothing!?
Takayuki: Betrayal? How can you call this a betrayal? The Fatui may think they are using me, but the reverse is true. What could they possibly hope to achieve?
Takayuki: When the lightning strikes in Inazuma, they shall fall to their knees and tremble, paralyzed by fear and trepidation. After all... None can contend with the supreme power of the Almighty Raiden Shogun and the Musou no Hitotachi!
Lucius: So his intention wasn't to betray the Shogun...
Paimon: Yeah... he doesn't worship the Raiden Shogun herself, but her power as a warrior — especially the Musou no Hitotachi. In fact, he seems to be way too into it...
Sara: But Master... what about loyalty? Ever since I was adopted by the Kujou Clan, you taught me the importance of loyalty from servants to their superiors...
