To Inazuma!

"So… you're really going to Inazuma, huh?" Yanfei asked as she continued to do her paperworks.

"Yep. Sadly, I can't bring anyone else with me because of the Vision Hunt Decree." I replied to her as I continued filling up the papers that Ningguang gave me. Ironic that I'm doing forged documents in front of a lawyer.

What were these papers for, you ask? Well, I'm going to pretend to be a merchant. It works since I'm technically a Liyue Citizen. I'm going to pretend that I'm selling some Liyue Specialties under Ningguang, hence the paperwork.

"Say… I wanted to tell you something."

"Hm? What is it?" I replied, still racking my brain on what to put in the requirements.

"I've lied when I told you that I've only started liking you only recently…"

There were a few moments of silence before I finally responded again. "What do you mean?"

"Well, uh…" Yanfei stopped what she was doing and looked at me. I did the same and looked at her seriously. "I've known you for quite a while now thanks to Ganyu's reports to Ningguang. Not only her reports, even Keqing's."

I just stayed silent. She took this as a sign for her to continue.

"So… yeah. I looked into you more and was quite surprised when I couldn't find anything. There weren't any records in Liyue's documents that I'd rather not talk about. And then I thought, 'Maybe he's from Inazuma?', but immediately threw that away. After all, that place was only closed for a year and we had documents from Inazuma until it closed…It's like you didn't exist at all."

Wow, I didn't know she'd go that far just to learn more about me. Also, does Liyue seriously have documents about people from other nations? I don't really know if it's good to say that so openly, but I'll just let it slide for now.

"I started having doubts about you existing, but then Ganyu sent Ningguang a picture of you and you could say I fell in love at first sight."

"Pfft-"

"Yeah, yeah. I know it's corny, laugh all you want."

"No, that just caught me off guard. Please continue."

"Haah… When I finally got the chance to meet you, I then learned you were to be married. Not just to one woman, but to two extremely beautiful women. It hurt you know? So I just had to lie… both you and myself."

She looked like she moved on from that pain, but I can see it in her eyes. There's still that pain inside her heart. I reached out and held her hand to comfort her a bit. It worked like a charm since that sadness in her eyes disappeared, but I could tell that it wasn't fully gone.

That's alright, I'm sure that it'll disappear with time. I just need to love the same way as I love the other girls. It won't be easy loving a lot and mean a lot of girls, but I can manage.

She moved her hand a bit so that our fingers could intertwine. I didn't mind it a bit since I haven't spent time with her at all. Not that I thought about it more, I haven't spent time with Mona and Amy at all either.

"This feels… nice," Yanfei whispered as her grip on my hand tightened. She looked worried all of a sudden and that made me worry a bit. "Be careful, okay? Inazuma isn't as safe as Liyue right now. Come back to us in one piece."

'Oh, so that's what it was…'

I just smiled and held her hand tighter. "Have faith in me, okay? It's also not like I'm not gonna come home in my Teapot."

"I know that… but what if one day you don't come home? What if you-"

"Fei."

She suddenly looked at me with wide eyes, I presume because of the nickname. However, that can be brought up late. Right now all I need to do is to reassure her. I might need to do this to my wives and other lovers as well. Even if they don't show or say it, I could tell that they were just as worried as the woman in front of me.

"I'm going to be fine. I promise you, I won't let any harm come to me."

"Fine…" Her cheeks flushed a bit as she looked away from me. How cute.

After that, we just continued on doing our respective works as the room was only filled by the sounds of our scribbling.

-x-X-x-

The day has come for me to go to Inazuma. Preparations went quick because they were already preparing to voyage to Inazuma before they even held the tournament. I asked Beidou why they were headed to Inazuma in the first place, but she just responded with, "You'll see soon enough!".

I don't know why, but that smile she has while saying that is making me a bit worried. It kinda feels like a war is about to happen.

…I just jinxed it, didn't I?

With nervousness, I boarded the ship. I already told everyone of my parting and they already told me their farewells… It was awkward for all of us since we all know that we'll meet in the teapot whenever I come home.

Still, they know that I won't be coming home as often since they understand that I might need to do some things. I would try to make more time to come home though. After all, both of my wives were pregnant with my children.

…Some of you didn't know that Ganyu was pregnant, didn't you?

I looked around as Beidou told her crew to raise the anchors and to lower the sails. I watched in awe as they all started working and the ship began to move. Kazuha was sitting by the side of the ship while Beidou went to the front and stood there, her beautiful hair dancing with the wind.

I walked towards her and stood at her side, admiring the sight of the vast sea before us. Thanks to my inhumane vision, I saw the storm that surrounded Inazuma.

"It's going to be a rough journey, you ready?" Beidou asked without looking at me.

"Always had been."
