Chapter 842 Ordinary and leisurely days, new clothes?

"A few days ago, I found a notebook left by my mother among a pile of old things. It contained many trivial things she recorded, among which there appeared a name of a person I had never heard of, and it appeared so frequently that it was really worrying..."

Kamisato Ayaka put her hands in front of her, "I haven't heard of her, but she should be my mother's friend."

"My parents have passed away for many years. My brother and I know most of the people who had contact with them, but this one..."

"The notes say that the person opposite is called 'Chun'. He seems to be someone who is very valued by my mother, and is also quite unique and fun-loving."

Jiang Yi said: "I remember that 'Chun' is the family crest of your Kamisato family. This name sounds like a female name, but it sounds very related to your Kamisato family."

"Yes." Kamisato Ayaka nodded, "So, this stranger of mine is very curious and wants to meet the other party."

"Before, when the 'Eye Hunting Order' was issued, I wanted to go and see if she was disturbed by the 'Eye Hunting Order' and the 'Locked Country Order'."

"But there is no free time, and no one to accompany me."

"This is something that needs to be kept secret! Since my mother didn't tell my brother and me about the person named 'Tsubaki', I can't let everyone know when I visit her."

"The Society's situation was not good at that time, and I shouldn't have implicated her. As a young lady, I attract a lot of attention. Even if I go alone, I will easily be seen, which will bring risks to her."

"This time the 'Eye Hunting Order' has finally ended, so I have this opportunity."

Shenli Linghua looked at Jiang Yi, "Originally, this matter should be entrusted to my brother and me to handle together, but my brother is still very busy at this stage..."

"I thought about it, and I still thought of you!"

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "That's it? Don't you want to praise me? For example, I am very polite, considerate, kind and reliable. You can rest assured with me. Moreover, I will keep it a secret."

Kamisato Ayaka was shy and covered her face with a fan: "Ah! I think... you don't need to be praised anymore."

It is necessary to praise people you are not familiar with.

"But I will be happy if you praise me!" Jiang Yi flicked his fingers to remove the cherry blossoms that fell on Kamisato Ayaka's snow-white hair.

"Then...then let me praise you..." Kamisato Ayaka whispered to Jiang Yi using haiku. She might not feel anything if she took the initiative to praise him, but she felt embarrassed when she was asked to praise him.

I was worried whether the other party would like this compliment. After all, words could not fully describe his nobleness.

"Huh? It was too quiet, I didn't hear it..." Jiang Yi turned his face to the side and rubbed his ears.

"Forget it, I've already praised you anyway..." Kamisato Ayaka looked at Jiang Yi who was approaching her, took a step back, and with a little willfulness, calmed her heart which seemed to be beating too intensely.

"This is too much of a cheat!" Jiang Yi smiled. Of course he heard it, but when Kamisato Ayaka praises someone, more people should hear it!

"You are cheating!" Kamisato Ayaka snorted. She didn't believe that Jiang Yi couldn't hear it.

Just take a step and move forward.

“Forget it, forget it. If I can’t show off, it’s fine to be happy secretly.” Jiang Yi walked briskly and quickly caught up.

The two of them had already gone down the mountain. After Kamisato Ayaka entered Kamisato Mansion for a while, she found a boat and headed for Inazuma Castle.

"Her address is written on the note, so we can go there directly." Kamisato Ayaka touched the note, "But I want to prepare a few gifts first... After we prepare them, we can go visit together. Maybe it will take some time."

When we arrived at the town street of Inazuma Castle, we saw advertisements for festivals and fireworks displays hanging on the street.

Just a few days later, there will be a festival and a fireworks display.

The residents of Inazuma were very enthusiastic about participating. After a period of overly depressing days when festivals and fireworks displays were abolished, they suddenly felt that the festivals and fireworks displays that were so common were precious.

People spontaneously helped prepare some festival-related items and decorated shops, making the whole street lively and creating a festival atmosphere even before the festival arrived.

"We really need more people to maintain order this time." Kamisato Ayaka had expected that this festival would be grander than in the past. Looking at the atmosphere, she couldn't help but reveal a relaxed smile that showed she shared the feelings of the residents.

What a pity… She stared at the festival advertisement, a little absent-minded.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yi and Kamisato Ayaka walked over. The passers-by first wanted to greet Princess Bai Lu, but then they all stood there in a daze, looking at the white-robed god next to Princess Bai Lu.

That day, it was him who fought with General Lei Dian!

He was right beside Princess Bai Lu at the moment! The scene before him seemed to have happened before.

The pedestrians who were about to say hello were all confused and did not speak for a long time.

Jiang Yi was a little helpless. This was the reason why he used illusion to cover up his trip to the hot spring yesterday.

If you don’t know, you might think that everyone around you is under a spell of immobilization.

"Did we two disturb them a little?" After hearing Jiang Yi's words, Kamisato Ayaka came back to her senses and withdrew her gaze from the festival advertisement.

"Maybe, after a few days, when they see me walking in Inazuma City every day, they will get used to it and realize that I am a very worldly person!" Jiang Yi didn't want to use illusions anymore. He didn't do anything wrong, so why should he hide and be ashamed to face others?

"Well, maybe!" Kamisato Ayaka covered her fan and smiled, "After all, you are special."

If it was a god, she had never seen such a humane god. If it was a human, she had never seen such a divine human.

"You haven't told me yet, what happened just now..." Jiang Yi looked at Kamisato Ayaka, his heart moved, and he said with a little playfulness, "If you want to go to the festival without anyone to accompany you, I think I'm free. It's just right for you, the eldest daughter of the shrine owner who is very familiar with the festival, to help introduce the various things and customs in the festival..."

"Ah... let me introduce..." Kamisato Ayaka lowered her head a little flustered. Yes, festivals are a very common custom. As the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family who organizes festivals, she should be very familiar with it and has often been to festivals.

But, but... that's not the case at all.

So she quickly looked towards a nearby shop.

"Festival... Festival... I... I will arrange it..." Kamisato Ayaka felt her face getting hotter and hotter, "Let's go into this store first!"

"This is Kokura-ya, our first stop..." She pretended to be calm and walked into the store.

This is an exquisite shop selling Inazuma kimonos. The clothes displayed on the walls are very gorgeous and diverse.

"Come and have a look at the latest styles of clothes!" The owner was a young woman in a kimono named Ogura Mio. When she saw a customer coming, she quickly came out to greet him.

"Ah! It's Miss Kamisato and..." She was stunned like the people outside, not knowing how to address this big shot who was fighting against General Raiden.

"My last name is Jiang..." Jiang Yi gave a gentle smile that calmed people's hearts and reminded.

"...Mr. Jiang." Ogura Mio was a little hesitant. "Welcome to Ogura-ya. Do you want to buy fabrics or custom-made clothes?"

"Hello, I have a clothing design drawing here, I'd like you to take a look at it." Kamisato Ayaka tried her best to act like she and Jiang Yi were just ordinary customers, and the owner did not need to be nervous, so she was approachable and took out the drawing that she had prepared long ago.

Ogura Mio turned her attention to the blueprint: "Let me see... Hmm? This is..."

"In your opinion..." Kamisato Ayaka raised her hand and asked.

"This is a very good design!" Ogura Mio suppressed the side of her eyes that were looking at Jiang Yi, "Miss Kamisato, you want to order a kimono like this, right?"

"Okay, thank you for your help." Kamisato Ayaka nodded.

"We at Ogura-ya are very honored that you are willing to come to our store to customize clothes, but... there is a tricky thing..." Ogura Mio quickly showed her embarrassment, "To customize the clothes you want, we need silk made from neon flowers. Most of Inazuma's silk is imported from Liyue Port, but right now..."

"Alas! As you know, Inazuma is now under lockdown." She revealed the plight of Kokura-ya. "To be honest, the clothing industry has been greatly affected. It is difficult for us to obtain high-end fabrics, and the custom-made clothing business has been put on hold for a while."

"Today, many people want to order a kimono to wear to the festival, but we are unable to accept the order. However, if the customer can bring their own fabric..." She looked at Miss Kamisato, "We can help make the clothes they want."

Kamisato Ayaka frowned, "The 'lockdown order' means that even Kokura-ya can't get high-end fabrics... If I want to buy them, where else can I buy them?"

"Ms. Kamisato, you can go to the International Chamber of Commerce. They have more channels than us. After all, they are merchants from all over the continent." Ogura Mio didn't know if there was any in the International Chamber of Commerce. Before, the Eye Hunting Order had caused foreigners to storm the ceremony site and offend the general. Those foreign merchants had a hard time doing business and could not move freely.

Inazuma residents also avoid strange foreigners like the plague.

As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Yi secretly.

"I have some here." Jiang Yi said, "The International Chamber of Commerce does have a batch of high-end fabrics. Last time, they were going to ship them to Inazuma City for sale, but they were snatched away by the nomads. My friend happened to help retrieve them, and he gave me a few pieces. Linghua, can you take a look and see if there's anything suitable?"

He reached out and took out the silk.

"Logically, the International Chamber of Commerce should not have sold any cloth in all these days. Did something happen?" Jiang Yi contacted Yin Mo Luo Gui in his mind. This was an extraordinary period and the price of cloth was the most expensive. The merchants of the International Chamber of Commerce should not be so stupid as to not sell any cloth.

Is it sold out on the outlying islands?

"If there is any trouble, go and help solve it." He said to Yin Mo Luogui. The good thing last time couldn't become a bad thing involving foreigners because he and Ying conflicted with the Eye Hunting Order.

"The patterns and textures of these fabrics are very good..." Kamisato Ayaka said happily. She had thought that it would be troublesome to give this gift to her mother's friend and that she would not be able to prepare all the materials. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi had the fabrics she needed.

Ogura Mio looked at the fabrics with shining eyes.

He calmly noted the news that the International Chamber of Commerce might still have some cloth that had not been sold. In this case, although the purchase price was high, it would naturally also be expensive to sell.

Jiang Yi looked at Ogura Mio: "You'd better make a careful decision."

He also didn't want to intentionally cheat the other party. The cloth of the International Chamber of Commerce could be sold to anyone to make money. If this person heard the news from him, he would spend a huge amount of money to buy all the remaining cloth over there, and then he would cry if the lockdown order was lifted.

"Ah..." Ogura Mio was shocked and looked at Jiang Yi. This person was the one who spoke to her just now!

The way she looked at Jiang Yi was like seeing the bright moon that penetrated into her soul and revealed everything.

His eyes blurred for a moment.

Decide carefully! Could this big shot be reminding me of something?

She thought about how the general had allowed the Inami people who had sneaked into the country to obtain travel permits in the morning. Could it be that the general would relax his stance on the "Seclusion Order" just like he did on the "Eye Hunting Order"?

If the guess is true, then it seems that I owe a big favor to this big shot.

Otherwise, I'll tell you a cheaper price later.

"Let's choose this one!" Kamisato Ayaka has already chosen.

"Okay!" Ogura Mio nodded, "Please wait a moment, I'll go check the other materials, it will be ready soon."

"It's been a while since we at Kokura-ya have made silk kimono, and the design is so beautiful... I'm looking forward to it just like you guys." She turned and left.

"I hope there won't be anything missing." Kamisato Ayaka thought to herself, looking at the batch of fabrics, "Jiang Yi..."

"Hmm?" Jiang Yi looked at Kamisato Ayaka.

"Would you... like to... try on Inazuma's special costumes... it's just in time for the festival..." Kamisato Ayaka lowered her head. This was the thought that came to her mind after she saw these fabrics.

"Sure! Can I buy one right away?" Jiang Yi looked at the kimonos in the store. There were mostly clothes for women, but very few for men.

"How about custom-made?" Kamisato Ayaka said, "It's in Kokura-ya. If you expedite it, they should be able to quickly produce the design for you to choose from and then make. Or, you... can refer to... my opinion."

She tiptoed and her voice became softer and softer.

"I have designed for my brother before..."
