"Thinking about it carefully, there is indeed something that bothers me... The Shogunate forces and the resistance have been at war for a long time, yet the General has never intervened. I used to think it was because the General was indifferent to the matter, but now it seems that the 'memorials' submitted to the General by the Tenryou Commission might have been problematic from the start..."
Kamisato Ayaka then looked at Feng Yi, her eyes flickering.
"Tell me more about it..."
"The Tenryou Commission oversees the military affairs of the nation. If they had the intention to falsify reports, there would be no way for us to know. The result would be the General misjudging the harm of the Vision Hunt Decree and stubbornly persisting. If we could obtain the memorials from the Tenryou Commission, it would become clear at once!"
Kamisato Ayaka smiled slightly; her elder brother had also mentioned this to her previously.
"But I recall that only Kujou Takayuki has the authority to access the memorials, and it is heavily guarded there. Even with Sayu's help, it would be difficult to stealthily retrieve the document!"
Thoma glanced at Sayu, who was fast asleep, and said with a frown.
"If something is needed, and temporary diversion of the guards is required, what could be more suitable than Yoimiya's fireworks?"
Feng Yi said with a smile, fireworks were certainly effective at attracting attention.
"That's not without reason. The Tenryou Commission is located next to the Statue of Her Eternal Resonance. If fireworks were set off near the statue, the Tenryou Commission wouldn't ignore it. At that time, Sayu could successfully sneak into the Tenryou Commission and obtain the memorial and other evidence..."
Kamisato Ayaka put away her fan, expressing her approval of Feng Yi's suggestion.
"Then I'll go find Yoimiya first and come back here later tonight."
Feng Yi nodded, left Sayu there, and departed from the Komore Teahouse.
About two hours later, Feng Yi returned, carrying a colossal firework in his Serenitea Pot.
Indeed, everyone who plays with gunpowder has a wild idea in their hearts.
Klee was like that, her mother Alice was also like that, and even Yoimiya could not escape this rule.
When Yoimiya heard that Feng Yi needed a super large firework, she quickly took him to a secret base and picked out one with the least destructive power but the loudest sound.
This was the smallest firework in Yoimiya's collection, yet it was no smaller than a water vat.
As for the one deep within the secret base, a firework as large as half a small house, Yoimiya stated it was just a semi-finished product, a gift she was preparing for the Archon, pursuing ultimate destructive power. Yoimiya named it: "Little Boy."
Feng Yi's eyelids twitched. If this thing accidentally exploded one day, wouldn't the whole of Inazuma be blown sky-high?
For safety's sake, Feng Yi set up several arrays for this "Little Boy" firework.
A fire ban array, an anti-collision array, a constant low-temperature array...
After working for half a day, it took over an hour before he stopped.
Upon returning to the Komore Teahouse, he had a brief conversation with Kamisato Ayaka and Thoma, then woke the sleeping Sayu and took her to the mountains near the Tenryou Commission.
"Hmm... it's just as I thought... so many people. If I'm spotted... I'll be found... I need to lure them away to sneak in successfully..."
Sayu looked at the patrolling soldiers coming and going below, shrugged, and said to Feng Yi.
"You even considered this?"
Feng Yi, who was also scouting the enemy, glanced back at Sayu, unable to believe that Sayu, who was always sleeping, had even thought of this.
"Of course, sleeping isn't all I do... After I get the memorial, we'll meet back at the Komore Teahouse, okay?"
Sayu felt Feng Yi underestimated her. Besides sleeping, she had also taken a few seconds to think about important matters, alright?
"Also, if I get caught... please come and save me..."
Sayu looked at Feng Yi with anticipation, already planning for a retreat before even starting.
"Don't worry, even if I have to break into prison, I'll get you out!"
Feng Yi knew that what Sayu needed at this moment was just a reassuring promise.
"Okay, let's begin. I'll wait for your signal!"
Sayu nodded happily, already prepared to sneak in.
Feng Yi patted Sayu's head, encouraged her, then jumped down from the rocks and stealthily approached an open space near the Statue of Her Eternal Resonance.
He took out the super large firework from his Serenitea Pot and then hid the Serenitea Pot in the crevice of the stacked wooden boxes not far away.
He lit the firework and then, at the fastest speed, hid inside the Serenitea Pot.
He perfectly fabricated a coincidence of the firework spontaneously combusting.
*Biu~ Boom!*
"Someone, what's happening over there?!"
Hearing the deafening sound, the duty captain of the Tenryou Commission immediately rushed out to investigate the source of the loud noise.
"Report, Captain! It's fireworks!"
A patrol soldier nearby quickly stepped forward to report.
"Fireworks? How can there be fireworks here? Quickly take your men to check it out! Arrest all the scoundrels who are disrupting Inazuma's nighttime order!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Just as a patrol team set out to search for and arrest the culprits who set off fireworks, the duty captain suddenly realized that the place where the fireworks were set off was near the Statue of Her Eternal Resonance. The culprits' objective couldn't possibly be simply to disrupt the nighttime order!
"It's the Vision on the statue!"
The duty captain slammed his fist down, certain that the culprits had created such a commotion to steal the Vision on the statue.
If the Vision were stolen, the General would surely blame the Tenryou Commission for its incompetence.
Without a second thought, the duty captain took a large portion of the remaining patrol teams to guard the Vision on the statue.
At this moment, the Tenryou Commission headquarters was short-handed, and no one noticed a dark shadow quietly slipping into the residence.
"What's happening over there?"
Kujou Sara, who was guarding the Tenshukaku, also noticed the commotion not far away, stepped out of the pavilion, and asked a nearby guard.
"Report, Lord Kujou Sara, it's fireworks! Very loud fireworks. The duty captain of the Tenryou Commission is leading his men to search for the culprits who set off private fireworks, and simultaneously, a large number of soldiers are guarding the General's statue..."
Kujou Sara gazed into the distance at the Statue of Her Eternal Resonance heavily guarded by soldiers, and the depleted Tenryou Commission headquarters.
Her intuition told her that the culprits' purpose for setting off fireworks was definitely not the Vision on the statue, but the confidential documents of the Tenryou Commission!
'It's Feng Yi, he's made his move!'
Kujou Sara believed that if she led her men back to guard the Tenryou Commission headquarters now, she would surely catch the document thief.
"Stay alert, and don't let your guard down until the thief is caught!"
However, Kujou Sara did not do so, and in her heart, she even vaguely hoped that Feng Yi would succeed.
