Chapter 72 - Chapter 72 It’s Me

Ei couldn't quite understand why Xavier wanted to film such a thing.

"Hmm... simply put, it's more like a work. Through this method, more people will know General."

Ei pondered for a moment and seemed to understand Xavier's explanation.

"Though this body should not be easily shown to others, this is Blue Star, so it doesn't matter."

She didn't truly understand why Xavier wanted to film, but she still agreed.

She really, I'm crying.

As for what kind of video Xavier wanted to film this time, he hadn't actually decided.

But if he filmed those more ordinary videos, the netizens probably wouldn't be too impressed.

Alas, who told him to raise the bar so high? If he filmed more daily works, they would definitely say he was slacking off.

Inspiration is bound to run dry at some point, so it was useless for Xavier to rack his brain.

A day passed quickly.

Our General was eating and playing well here, and Ayaka was chatting with her little sister.

They didn't know that Inazuma, on the other side, was about to explode.

"Quick, seal off the entire mansion!"

"Not a single corner can be missed, we must find General and Ayaka!"

"Remember, from this moment on, Inazuma enters a state of isolation!"

As Ei's top General, Kujou Sara rushed to Kamisato as soon as she received the news.

According to the reports from the mansion guards, the two had been missing for at least 5 hours.

The reason their disappearance was discovered was because a servant wanted to inquire about their meal.

But after several inquiries, there was no response from inside.

At this point, Kamisato realized something was wrong, and led by Thoma, the butler, they forcibly entered the room.

But where were General and Ayaka in the room?

This matter was absolutely related to the fate of the entire Inazuma nation.

Therefore, Thoma immediately informed Kujou Sara and Kamisato Ayato, who was handling secret affairs.

Kujou Sara worshipped Ei so much that she completely freaked out upon hearing the news.

Ayato, though not particularly panicked upon hearing the news, was also very uneasy.

"You mean, they disappeared silently?"

In the Kamisato courtyard, Ayato was pondering the whole situation.

He asked Thoma many details, but still found no useful clues.

The current intelligence indicated that the two had suddenly disappeared, without any commotion.

"If that's the case, there shouldn't be too much danger involved. Kujou Sara's actions are a bit too panicked."

After another moment of thought, Ayato shook his head, feeling that Kujou Sara's approach was somewhat inappropriate.

Thoma asked, somewhat puzzled, "But Master, the sudden disappearance of General and the young lady is a very serious matter, isn't it?"

Ayato pulled out a cup of milk tea from somewhere, took a sip, and then spoke.

"Thoma, do you know? You've fallen into a cognitive trap."

Thoma was a bit confused: "Is there a problem?"

"It's that your perspective is too low."

Thoma still couldn't quite understand, so Ayato calmly explained: "General's strength has reached its peak. I believe no one in this world can make General disappear without resistance."

Thoma was stunned for a moment, finding it very reasonable.

"To take a step back, even if this person or some kind of power truly reached that level, I think Inazuma and the entire Teyvat would be plunged into darkness, wouldn't they?"

Hearing Ayato's addition, Thoma finally understood what he meant.

This feeling was very much like: for a small tremor, no need to run; for a big tremor, can't run anyway...

No wonder Master wasn't panicked at all. It seemed he was thinking about how to appease the public.

However, it was a pity that all three commissions already knew about this matter.

As the leader, the Tenryou Commission controlled the military, so their say was naturally higher.

Even if Ayato wanted to calm things down, it wouldn't work at this point.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the mansion.

Several soldiers were seen escorting a large man, bound with ropes and with a hood over his head.

"Reporting, Kujou!"

"Hmm? What's going on here?"

Kujou Sara glanced at the burly man, feeling he looked somewhat familiar.

The leading soldier reported: "We found this suspicious fellow nearby. We think he's very problematic, so we captured him to hand over to Kujou for disposal."

Kujou Sara motioned for the soldier to remove the hood.

"Damn it, do you think I, the Great, am afraid of you? If you don't let go, be careful, I, the Great, will beat your butts black and blue!"

"And..."

Arataki Itto, who had been yelling, suddenly fell silent.

Because the person in front of him was none other than his arch-nemesis, Kujou Turtle!

And Kujou Sara's eyes also changed; she hadn't expected Arataki Itto to fall into her hands at such a time.

"Kujou, do we need to torture this suspicious fellow for a confession?" The leading soldier was very perceptive and immediately prompted her.

Kujou Sara snorted coldly: "This fellow doesn't have the strength, nor the guts or the intelligence."

"Hey, what are you saying? How do I, the Great, not have strength? I, the Great, am full of guts, and full of intelligence!"

Arataki Itto had no idea what was happening, only feeling that Kujou Sara was insulting him. How could he tolerate it?

"Is that so?" Kujou Sara gave him a cold look. "Are you trying to say... General's disappearance is your doing?"

"That's right, it's I, the Great..." Arataki Itto immediately looked dumbfounded. "What? You mean Raiden Shogun is missing? How is that possible!"

Kujou Sara felt like she was so busy that she had lost her mind, telling such important news to a ruffian.

But it didn't matter, after all, this guy wasn't very smart.

As dusk gradually approached, Kujou Sara grew increasingly anxious.

However, at this moment, the room used for private discussions within the mansion was suddenly pushed open.

"General, young lady!"

The mansion guards immediately knelt to greet them, simultaneously sighing in relief.

"General, young lady, you're back!"

Thoma arrived immediately, relieved.

"Thoma, what's wrong? Why are even the Tenryou Commission's people here?"

Ayaka glanced around, noticing soldiers everywhere, which was very unusual.

Thoma explained: "Well... you and General suddenly disappeared, and we thought something had happened."

Ei and Ayaka had actually overlooked this matter; this was clearly not how leaders should behave.

"I just took Ayaka to a special place. Everyone, return."

Although Ei knew this was her small mistake, a leader had to be like this and not easily admit mistakes.

After dismissing everyone, Ei walked out of the mansion.

She happened to see Kujou Sara, and Arataki Itto, who was tied up and swearing loudly nearby.
