The atmosphere in the study was extremely oppressive.
Miyashiro and Acting Grand Master Jean sat facing each other across the table, not uttering a word.
Even Shenhe and Eula, who were watching the scene from the side, couldn't bear the situation.
After brewing a pot of tea for the two of them, Shenhe pulled Eula away.
Finally, Acting Grand Master Jean took the initiative, tossing a document towards Miyashiro and saying, "Regent, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation.
Why is Klee, a child, on the list to go to Inazuma?"
Miyashiro picked up the document, gave it a cursory glance, then threw it back, saying indifferently, "What's so strange about that?
Acting Grand Master Jean, you issued an announcement in black and white: anyone who agrees can go to Inazuma."
Acting Grand Master Jean: "While that's true, Klee is only a seven-year-old child.
She has no ability to take care of herself, let alone self-control.
Moreover, her Talents are too dangerous.
If she leaves Mondstadt, I'm worried she might cause incalculable damage to Inazuma.
And, based on the conversation I just overheard in the study, I have reason to suspect you have other motives for encouraging Klee to go to Inazuma!"
In response, Miyashiro merely sneered and said, "Acting Grand Master Jean, Klee's mother, Ms.
Alice, is a great witch famous throughout Teyvat, possessing at least the combat power of a God.
She doesn't just have connections in Mondstadt; many people in Inazuma have also benefited from her.
Naturally, someone will look after her, and they'll do a better job than you.
Furthermore, I recall that Ms.
Alice entrusted Klee's guardianship to Albedo, not you, Acting Grand Master Jean.
It makes no sense for Albedo to go to Inazuma without taking Klee, does it?"
Acting Grand Master Jean was extremely shocked to hear that Albedo was also going to Inazuma and quickly asked, "Albedo is going too?
When did this happen?"
Miyashiro: "It should have been before Klee submitted her application.
It seems Acting Grand Master Jean is truly busy with countless tasks and has no time to pay attention to these minor details."
Acting Grand Master Jean: "Why would Albedo suddenly want to go to Inazuma?
Is this your doing?
He was recently competing with Lisa for a share of The Dragon Ursa's corpse, trying to research some clues."
Miyashiro: "The Dragon Ursa?
What's so great about researching a replica that at most has the combat power of an Adeptus?
I merely told him one thing: on Tsurumi Island in Inazuma, there exists a Golden Wolflord of the Rifthound Whelps.
Upon hearing this news, Albedo immediately decided to go to Inazuma."
Acting Grand Master Jean asked in confusion, "Rifthound Whelps?
Golden Wolflord?
What are those?"
Miyashiro: "Hmph! For such matters, you should ask that bard.
See if he'll explain it to you."
Miyashiro's attitude left Acting Grand Master Jean's anger completely unvented, like punching a soft cotton ball.
The disparity in strength and information between them caused Acting Grand Master Jean considerable distress.
Acting Grand Master Jean gritted her teeth and insisted, "In that case, Albedo can go to Inazuma, but Klee must stay in Mondstadt, supervised and watched over by me and the Knights of Favonius."
Upon hearing this, Miyashiro couldn't help but burst into laughter, almost bringing tears to his eyes.
Seeing this, Acting Grand Master Jean frowned tightly and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Miyashiro: "Heh heh, I don't know where you get the confidence, Acting Grand Master Jean, to say you can manage Klee.
You're clearly so busy every day that you don't even get enough sleep.
If you think putting Klee in solitary confinement for every little mistake will make her behave, then why does Klee repeatedly ignore lessons and spend all day thinking about bombing fish?
You don't have the time or ability to manage Klee yourself, yet you won't let those who do have the time and ability care for her.
Is that your way of educating, Acting Grand Master Jean?"
Acting Grand Master Jean: "You..."
Acting Grand Master Jean subconsciously wanted to retort, but then she thought of what had happened before.
Indeed, as Miyashiro said, she simply didn't have time to play with Klee.
The other members of the Knights of Favonius also had their own respective duties.
Aside from Kaeya, who likes to slack off and is a qualified educator, Klee usually only plays with Razor, Diona, and Bennett when she's not bombing fish.
The consequence of letting Klee run wild was that she often caused a lot of trouble with her Jumpy Dumpty, and Acting Grand Master Jean herself had subconsciously resorted to using solitary confinement as punishment for Klee.
Miyashiro continued, "Acting Grand Master Jean, while Klee's Talents are very dangerous, at the end of the day, she's just a seven-year-old girl.
It's a child's nature to want to play.
Also, Acting Grand Master Jean, I must remind you that although Klee appears to be just a little girl who loves explosions, you must know that she is Ms.
Alice's daughter, a future witch who perfectly inherited her genes.
Her Talents are far beyond ordinary people.
I seem to envision Klee becoming the next Ms.
Alice.
Such a genius should have her Talents fully displayed as early and as quickly as possible, instead of you constantly suppressing her Talents without offering her compensation.
Such a approach is clearly not advisable.
What's more, Mondstadt has many mountains, trees, and grasslands, which are indeed not suitable for the use of Jumpy Dumpty.
In contrast, Inazuma is different.
I can always prepare an uninhabited island for Klee, allowing her to play to her heart's content.
Additionally, during her travels in Inazuma, Ms.
Alice took on a young apprentice named Naganohara Yoimiya.
She is a big sister figure to the children of Inazuma, especially good at looking after kids.
I will have her specifically responsible for Klee's care.
So, Acting Grand Master Jean, you can rest assured.
Klee will have a pleasant time in Inazuma.
Besides, she's not not coming back.
Once Albedo finishes his research on the Golden Wolflord, he will naturally bring Klee back to Mondstadt."
After listening to Miyashiro's explanation, Acting Grand Master Jean's expression became extremely grim.
It was perfectly legitimate for Albedo, as Klee's guardian, to go to Inazuma and take Klee with him.
Coupled with Klee's own agreement, Miyashiro, the Inazuma Regent, had also made all sorts of thorough arrangements for Klee.
Based on these three points alone, it was already impossible to make Klee change her mind.
Most importantly, for a period in the future, she would be working with Diluc to carry out a series of drastic reforms in Mondstadt City, which would undoubtedly be very busy.
Indeed, as Miyashiro said, she simply had no time or energy to devote to supervising Klee.
Perhaps, having Inazuma supervise her on their behalf would be more appropriate.
Thinking of this, Acting Grand Master Jean finally sighed helplessly and conceded, "Fine, I'll entrust Klee to our friends in Inazuma.
However, you must pay attention to safety.
Klee's destructive power is still not to be underestimated."
Miyashiro: "Please rest assured, Acting Grand Master Jean, Inazuma will take good care of Klee."
After all, if she wasn't well taken care of, Ms.
Alice might descend upon Inazuma again...
Her daughter coming to Inazuma is acceptable to everyone, but if Ms.
Alice herself came, then it would probably mean that I and the Raiden Shogun would have to follow behind her and keep an eye on her.
