"Why are the Fatui still so active? The Lady has already been dealt with by me. Could it be... they have other leaders? Are there other Harbingers in Inazuma besides The Lady?"

Taking advantage of a little time before bed, Durandal called her little information-gathering creatures and learned from them that the Fatui had not stopped their activities due to The Lady’s disappearance.

On the contrary, their activities became more frequent, which made Durandal suspect that perhaps there were other Harbingers leading the Fatui’s actions in Inazuma besides The Lady.

Or perhaps there were some squad leaders who arranged the Fatui’s actions when the Harbingers were not present, which would explain why the Fatui were still active.

Besides Tatarasuna, Durandal also suspected that the Fatui were active in other places, for example... there were Fatui members among the resistance on Watatsumi Island.

It was they who fanned the flames within the resistance, which caused the resistance to not stop after the Vision Hunt Decree ended, but to continue resisting the Shogunate soldiers.

"What do you think? Makoto."

"Me? I’m not too concerned about the Fatui’s movements. What I’m more concerned about is the Shogunate’s situation. I wonder if the General has handled it well. Even if she can’t handle it, she can use the Shuumatsuban."

Although this was not the Shuumatsuban’s responsibility, the Tenryou Commission was temporarily unable to operate due to Kujou Takayuki’s matter, and entrusting it to others was not reassuring. They could only ask Kujou Sara or someone from the Shuumatsuban for help.

"I don’t think it’s reliable. Ei will change because of you, but the Raiden Shogun is not Ei. What she wants most is eternity. I wonder if she’s plotting something, preparing to act against me, the most unstable factor."

"That depends on whether she has the ability. She can’t defeat you, and she can’t sanction you through the power of the nation. Unless she’s willing to involve other gods, but given her situation, how could she possibly get other gods to agree to deal with you?"

"...Regardless, the internal affairs of the Shogunate are for the Raiden Shogun to handle. What I’m concerned about now is the girl from earlier today. The power on her should be related to the Tatarasuna God that Lumine and her friends mentioned."

The main source of the Tatarasuna God was not Tatarasuna, but somewhere else. The girl was dirty at the time, so she must have escaped. What happened that made her leave the place she relied on for survival?

"No, there’s still too little information. Some places are too dangerous for those little creatures to get close. Do I have to go myself?"

"It’s good to go and see for yourself, but I suggest you can go and find the General. If something has happened, the General should have received corresponding reports, and you might be able to find some clues there."

Besides pursuing eternity, the Raiden Shogun still handles daily affairs. Even if Kujou Takayuki withheld some important information from the Raiden Shogun, she would still have some clues that could be obtained.

This suggestion was fine, but why did she feel like she was deliberately being sent to the Raiden Shogun? This guy... couldn’t be doing it on purpose, could she?

Durandal looked at Makoto floating in the air and saw that he was meditating, with his eyes closed and a calm expression, showing no flaws at all.

"You... you’re not suggesting this because you want to meet Ei, are you, Makoto?"

"...How could that be? I just think this is more conducive to your information gathering. Besides, it’s only been a few days since we last met Ei. How could I miss her so quickly?"
