The Seiken knight in the world of Tevyat (Genshin Impact x Kamen rider Saber)

Part 23: The firework show in prison.

After agreeing to help fight the Vision Hunt Decree, the group along with Thoma and Kamisato Ayaka relocate themselves to the Komore Teahouse to discuss in private.

Paimon: Well, here we are again...

Thoma: Please, continue without me. I'll keep watch.

Paimon: So, what's the deal with this place, anyway? What makes it your favorite meeting spot?

Kamisato Ayaka: This is land that was gifted to the Yashiro Commission by the shogun. The Kamisato Clan has the exclusive right to plan, build, and repair any property on this land - and even to allow or deny access. Such privileges exist due to the Yashiro Commission's role in managing ceremonial affairs. Oftentimes, it is not appropriate to discuss details in front of bystanders.

Paimon: Ohh Paimon gets it - gotta keep a bit of mystery, right?

Kamisato Ayaka: Once the number of ceremonial affairs conducted in the city began to decline, our forebears built a teahouse here. Only members of the Yashiro Commission are permitted to come and go as they please.

Paimon: Makes sense. Perfect place for a secret base!

Kamisato Ayaka: In any case, we can talk freely here. I presume travellers, you all have a few questions that you wish to ask me?

Aether: What kind of god is the Raiden Shogun?

Kamisato Ayaka: The Almighty Shogun... I have seen her on but only a few occasions, most of them formal ceremonies... She inspires awe, commands respect, and exudes a sense of absolute authority. But as I recall, there was something else about her that struck me even more deeply...

Saikou: What was it?

Kamisato Ayaka: It was her almost complete lack of any emotion. In that sense, she appeared to me to be less of a ruler and more of... well, an executive official, I suppose. Focused exclusively on her single goal of implementing Eternity, acting accordingly without feeling.

Y/n: Guess she really shows no remorse for taking away people's vision.

Aether: Is no one else fighting the Vision Hunt Decree?

Kamisato Ayaka: The issue is this... For the vast majority of people, the Vision Hunt Decree is something that has no implications whatsoever. After all, it is but a tiny minority of people who receive Visions. Moreover, it is not unknown for Visions to spark jealousy in others. Because of this, the attitude of most people towards the Vision Hunt Decree is one of indifference.

Paimon: How can they be like that...? Hmph, Paimon's getting mad...

Y/n: So I take it that we are the only ones against the Vision Hunt Decree?

Kamisato Ayaka: Not exactly. In addition to us, there is also the resistance on Watatsumi Island.

Paimon: Resistance? You mean, like, an army fighting against the decree?

Kamisato Ayaka: Yes, many who have lost or fear losing their Visions have rallied together under Sangonomiya on Watatsumi Island to form a resistance group.

Saikou: It's great to know that we are not alone in this fight.

Kamisato Ayaka: To say a little more about Sangonomiya... Historically, there has always been some conflict between them and the Shogunate of Narukami Island due to their different belief systems. But I do wonder whether there may be some other agenda behind their resistance movement, beyond merely fighting the Vision Hunt Decree...

Aether: Have you raised a formal objection to the Vision Hunt Decree?

Kamisato Ayaka: Of course. We have tried on numerous occasions. Unfortunately, each time a proposal to repeal the decree arrives at Tenshukaku, it is promptly vetoed by both the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission, and subsequently scrapped... They invariably adopt a stance of unconditional support for the shogun's decisions. They have no interest in discussing anything. It almost makes one wonder whether they had a hand in the shogun's sudden decision to issue the Vision Hunt Decree...
