Honkai Impact 3rd X Genshin Impact Crossover: My adventures with the Valkyries

Chapter 59: Proof of Guilt and Blind Loyalty, Reckless Courage

(Narukami Shrine)

They returned back to the Shrine. The Herrschers remained in their Herrscher forms.

Yae Miko: Okay, we can talk here. You asked me about the plan — in fact, I've been mulling it over for quite a long time. Before one makes a plan, what is the most important thing one must do?

Kiana and Seele: Uhh?...

Captain: Think about what to do?

Patrick: come up with ideas for a plan?

Kiana: Think things over before planning?

Seele: Draw something on paper?

Paimon: Don't know, what is it?

Yae Miko: You must understand the situation you are facing.

Mei: What do you mean?

Yae Miko: The Vision Hunt Decree was obviously devised as a means of manipulating the Shogun, the ones behind it knowing full well her susceptibility as a puppet with a single-minded focus on eternity.

Mei: The Balladeer confirmed this.

Aether: The Fatui did it to create the demand for Delusions.

Yae Miko: Yes. This is the strongest piece of evidence we have to go on. Now, we also know that every aspect of the Vision Hunt Decree's promulgation and execution has been enthusiastically spearheaded by the Tenryou Commission from the outset.

Paimon: Ayaka was saying that every time they submitted a petition against the Vision Hunt Decree, the Tenryou and Kanjou Commissions would veto it straight away with no negotiation.

Aether: The Tenryou Commission is working for the Fatui.

Sakura: The Kanjou Commission betrayed the Shogunate long ago.

Yae Miko: Yes. It's all too clear that both the Tenryou and Kanjou Commissions are in some form of collusion with the Fatui. Hmph, foolish humans, blinded by their greed.

Sakura: And the Fatui using their diplomatic immunity to make lies and to use them.

Yae Miko: Thus, the current situation is that our Fatui antagonist is still at large, has the two rogue Commissions wrapped around their finger, and is distributing Delusions from the shadows... Unfortunately, given that said antagonist is under the protection of two Commissions and the Raiden Shogun, we would be rather hard-pressed to track them down.

Paimon: So what should we do?

Yae Miko: It will be easier for us to start with someone from Inazuma.

Kiana: With who?

Yae Miko: So my plan is... to incite rebellion in the Tenryou Commission.

Paimon: Rebellion? What are you talking about? After everything you just said, it sounds like the Tenryou Commission has rebelled already!

Yae Miko: Hehe. When I say rebellion, I don't mean betraying the Shogunate... I mean, inciting a certain someone to betray the Tenryou Commission. If we manage to convince her, I'm quite sure we'll be able to get you another audience with the Raiden Shogun.

Mei: Don't be so coy...

Aether: Who is this "certain someone"?

Yae Miko: I'll give you a clue: She's currently in charge of the Shogun's Army, she visits the shrine at this time every month, and she is our guest today.

Sakura: You don't mean...

Yae Miko: She also appears to be standing right behind you.

The camera moves and it shows Kujou Sara behind them with two Shogunate.
