Although her last name is Kujou, Kujou Sara does not have any blood ties to the Kujou Clan.
Originally, she lived in a peaceful forested area.
However, at some point, malevolent spirits began causing trouble, disrupting the tranquility around her.
Despite possessing the power of a tengu, she was still too young and couldn’t single-handedly fend off the demons. In a past battle, she was even knocked off a cliff, injuring her wings.
As she fell from a great height, unable to spread her damaged wings, she was on the verge of despairing and crashing to the ground.
But at that moment, she caught the attention of a God and was granted her own Vision.
Afterward, while she was unconscious, her possession of the Vision was discovered by the Tenryou Commission, one of the Tri-Commission, and she was adopted by the head of the Kujou Clan and given the name Sara.
Despite growing up among humans from a young age, Sara still retained the habits of a tengu.
Occasionally, she would take a stroll in the mountains and forests.
During this visit to the forest, apart from her routine training, she also came to bring some fruits to the little spirits hiding there.
The local tanuki were greedy and often stole food, but she managed to persuade them to restrain their actions.
Since then, she frequently brought food to them.
However, the cawing of crows and the reaction of elements from outside the forest caught her attention. To prevent the tanuki from provoking intruders with Visions, she decided to personally investigate.
At first glance, when she saw Bai Luo, she felt that something was off about this man.
The item concealed in his sleeve seemed like a weapon from its silhouette, and the marking on his sleeve belonged to the Fatui’s Brigade.
The most eye-catching thing was the mask he wore on his head.
Yes, upon meeting face to face, both she and Bai Luo almost instantly noticed each other’s masks, and they both had the same question in their minds.
Does the Fatui’s Brigade have masks of this design?
“In the mountains and forests, there are many wicked spirits. It would be best for you to leave this place quickly. If you have lost something, you can report it to the Tenryou Commission, and we will send someone to register it and help you retrieve it.”
With Sara’s personality, she wouldn’t usually be so courteous and talkative with a stranger, especially since the other person was a member of the Fatui’s Brigade, moreover, In this desolate place, it would be too easy to kill a member of the Fatui’s Brigade.
However, the head of the Clan had reminded her not to rashly antagonize them recently, Because the Fatui’s Brigade had come as ambassadors of Snezhnaya, engaging in conflict with them recklessly would create a rift in the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Most importantly, it would cause a lot of trouble for the Shogun.
Although she was adopted by the Kujou Clan, Sara understood better than anyone else that the reason she survived the fall from the mountain unharmed was that the Electro Archon had seen her at that moment and graced her with her Vision.
And with that single glance, she was granted the power that brought her to where she is today.
She could ignore the head of the Clan’s words, but she absolutely couldn’t cause trouble for the Shogun herself.
Because she was the Shogun’s most loyal follower.
“I didn’t really lose anything, I just subconsciously followed them here out of instinct.”
Although he said he subconsciously followed, in reality, he was just planning to play with a certain raccoon cat… *Cough*, a certain little tanuki.
“That’s good. The forest is dangerous at night. If you don’t mind, I can lead you out of this forest.”
While observing the little spirits secretly peering at them from the woods, Sara suggested such words.
She couldn’t rest assured letting Bai Luo wander in the forest alone, especially since he was a dangerous member of the Fatui’s Brigade.
For the nearby tanuki, he was nothing less than a walking catastrophe that could go off any minute.
“That’s fine.”
Bai Luo readily agreed to her suggestion without much hesitation, he wasn’t really trying to catch up with that little tanuki anyway, and besides, he was also eager to spend more time with one of the girls that he had spent a few hundred dollars for in his previous life.
Sara is the trusted aide of the Electro Archon, Bai Luo had been thinking of ways to spend more time with her since earlier, using his power “Silver” to leave a mark on her.
This way, if for some reason or another he would end up being chased by the Tengu, he can
“Please follow me.”
After her gaze lingered for a moment on the grass attribute Delusion at Bai Luo’s waist, Sara took the lead and started leading him forward.
Though it seemed like she wasn’t afraid of Bai Luo’s sneak attack, in reality, her muscles were already tense, and her wings were ready to spring into action.
If Bai Luo dared to attack, she had the confidence to evade with her tengu advantage and take him down in the process.
However, in reality, Bai Luo couldn’t attack her at all.
When he marked her with “Silver,” he couldn’t make any attack or use any skills.
Should he attack her at that time, the progress bar that had been progressing for more than half would be resetted, and that was not something Bai Luo wanted to see.
_________________________
Sara truly lived up to her reputation as a member of the tengu clan, she was able to tread easily even with wooden clogs several tens of centimeters high blocking her path, she was able to walk freely in a forest full of sharp rocks and tree roots as if it were level ground.
And this was something that she did without even spreading her wings.
However…
“Are we still not there yet?”
Even after the marking ended, Sara still continued to lead him through the forest.
As far as he can remember, he didn’t venture too deep into the forest, with the pace they are going, they should already be out of the forest around half an hour ago.
Was she planning to lead him into a remote corner and ambush him?
He lightly hooked his right finger, and under the effect of the steel wire, the dagger slid into his hand.
If Sara made any move, he would be ready to strike her down.
Despite how he usually looks and behaves, his strength in a 1 vs 1 combat is top notch even in Snezhnaya, only a few people in that land are able to hold their ground against him in a duel, and in Inazuma, beside the neet that hole herself up for the last few hundred years, as long as it’s a 1 Vs 1 fight, no one in this island can win against him.
Although the character of ‘Sara’ in the game of ‘Genshin Impact’ has left a good impression on him, to him, the ‘Sara’ that are leading him right now are nothing but a stranger from a possible-hostile land, he wouldn’t mind taking firm action if she attacked him.
Fortunately, the Tengu was not leading him to a trap, after walking for over an hour, the two of them finally emerged from the forest.
“The Tenryou Commission has important matters to attend to. During your stay in Inazuma, you’d better be cautious. If you violate the laws of Inazuma, The Shogun won’t be any less lenient than the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya.”
As she spoke, the black wings that the tengu are famous for, both in this life and the previous one, appeared on Sara’s back, and with a flap of her wings, she flew towards Inazuma City, following the moonlight.
Leaving Bai Luo alone, standing on the outskirts of the forest.
“Where is this…?”
As a man who had explored the continent of Teyvat hundreds of times, Bai Luo was naturally familiar with Inazuma.
But the Inazuma in the game was more artistically enhanced, and there was a significant difference between that Inazuma and the Inazuma here.
He wasn’t even sure if he was still on the same island.
“This is troublesome…”
With a slight headache, he looked at the forest behind him. He didn’t think he could find his way back now.
All he could do was look for signs of human presence nearby, It would be best if he encountered someone from his own group.
For example, a member of the Fatui’s Brigade.
As it turned out, Bai Luo’s luck was quite good.
In this pitch-black night, he indeed found traces of someone.
Moreover, judging from the mark left behind, the person nearby was a member of the Fatui’s Brigade.
He wasn’t afraid of being met with trouble by visiting them.
As the 12th Harbinger of the Fatui’s Brigade, he could be considered the leader of all the advance teams of the Fatui’s Brigade on Inazuma.
He just didn’t know how to ease the feeling of embarrassment that he got after getting lost after meeting them.
Inspection?
Yeah, a good reason.
Following the mark, Bai Luo arrived at a temporary resting place.
It was constructed with thick red canvas, simple but enough to block wind and rain.
And this kind of canvas was a specialty of Snezhnaya.
Under the canvas were layers of straw, and the straw was carefully covered with pure cotton pads.
At the end used as a pillow, there were some exquisite tea sets and simple daily necessities.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Bai Luo seemed to catch a faint fragrance.
Just as he was about to look around nearby to find the Fatui’s Brigade members stationed here, a soft voice echoed from the shadows.
“I’ve spotted you, intruder!”
