Genshin Impact: What, the one we need to save is Focalors?

In the soft light of dawn, as the horizon was just touched with the first hint of white, Thunderclap was already up early from his bed.

After a simple wash-up, he put on a brand-new West Factory Guard uniform and went out.

Because of his somewhat short stature, even the smallest size uniform looked a bit loose on him.

However, he didn't care about this.

Passing through a long corridor, he arrived at the West Factory Guards' exclusive mess hall.

As soon as he pushed open the door, the enticing aroma of various foods wafted towards him.

He walked to the window and asked the staff member for almost enough food for three or four people.

This prompted the staff member to remind him that the West Factory had strict regulations absolutely forbidding food waste.

He made a solemn promise to the staff member, then, carrying his food, he went and sat down at an empty table.

While eating, he secretly stuffed sausages, bread, and milk into his pockets.

After finishing breakfast, he left in a hurry, walking towards the direction of the prefabricated houses where the workers lived.

At this time, Imai Jiro was still sound asleep; last night he had been engrossed in his idol Furina's novel, "Furilock Holmes," and had read until late at night.

Thunderclap carefully placed the food he brought by Imai Jiro's bed and quietly left the room.

Afterwards, he walked towards the West Factory's office building. In the square in front of the building, he met Kaedehara Kazuha.

Kaedehara Kazuha, like him, was wearing a crisp West Factory Guard uniform, and on his waist still hung the Maple Leaf Emblem representing the Kaedehara family, looking imposing yet elegant.

When Kaedehara Kazuha saw Thunderclap, a complex emotion flickered across his face.

He walked forward and said, "Thunderclap, we're going out on assignment today."

Thunderclap nodded silently, without speaking, and waited quietly with Kaedehara Kazuha for the other members of their team to gather.

About a quarter of an hour later, the other members of the team arrived one after another, totaling six people including Thunderclap and Kaedehara Kazuha.

The captain, Marni, a stern, tough-faced middle-aged man, seriously laid out the tasks for the next few days for everyone: clearing out the Nobushi and Kairagi on Nazuchi Beach.

While assigning the tasks, he particularly emphasized the matter of discipline, strictly forbidding anyone from disobeying orders or acting without authorization.

This point was actually aimed at Thunderclap and Kaedehara Kazuha, as they had acted without authorization multiple times in previous operations.

Afterwards, the group rode on a horse-drawn flatbed cart, heading towards Nazuchi Beach.

On the way to Nazuchi Beach, Thunderclap lay on the flatbed cart, gazing up at the ever-changing white clouds in the sky. A sense of inexplicable peace and tranquility welled up in his heart, and the world in his eyes gradually became colored with brilliant hues.

After half a day of travel, they finally reached their destination.

The group got off the flatbed cart and immediately began their clearing operation.

Before long, they made a new discovery. By the side of a dilapidated shipwreck, a group of fierce-looking pirates were surrounding and attacking a heavily injured Inazuman samurai.

Captain Marni without hesitation issued the combat order, assigning Thunderclap and Kaedehara Kazuha to the assault while the other members were responsible for providing cover.

After receiving the order, Thunderclap and Kaedehara Kazuha didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately charged towards the group of pirates.

In an instant, lightning sparks flew everywhere and maple leaves fluttered about.

That group of pirates hadn't even had time to react before they were completely annihilated by Thunderclap and Kaedehara Kazuha's lightning-fast attacks.

Kaedehara Kazuha sheathed the blade in his hand, walked slowly towards the heavily injured Inazuman samurai, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

The Inazuman samurai waved his hand, indicating that he was alright. He noticed that the clothing of Kaedehara Kazuha and the others was distinctly different from the Inazuman style, so he asked curiously, "Excuse me, where are you from?"

Kaedehara Kazuha replied, "We are West Factory Guards."

The Inazuman samurai looked bewildered upon hearing this. "West Factory Guards?"

Kaedehara Kazuha immediately realized that this Inazuman samurai might not have had contact with the outside world for a long time.

So, he concisely and clearly told the samurai what had happened in the past few months, helping him understand the current situation.

As the Inazuman samurai listened to Kaedehara Kazuha's narration, astonishment and sorrow intertwined in his heart, finally turning into a long sigh: "Is Inazuma truly doomed?"

Kaedehara Kazuha took out some Mora from his pocket, handed it to the Inazuman samurai, and said softly, "Go take a look at the newly built Fudé Port. Bring your family and start a new life there."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the Inazuman samurai standing blankly on the spot, his gaze lost as he watched their retreating figures.

The Inazuman samurai's heart was filled with endless confusion. He felt like a relic of the old era, facing the opening of the door to a new era and feeling completely at a loss.

..........................

In the following days, Thunderclap and his group thoroughly cleared out the Nobushi and Kairagi on Nazuchi Beach.

On the way back, Thunderclap suddenly remembered there was a Fatui stronghold nearby, so he conveniently wiped out that squad of Fatui skirmishers.

Not long after they left, a cold, sinister figure quietly appeared at this stronghold.

Looking at the corpses covering the ground, a cruel smile curved on his lips. "Truly ruthless. It seems I must speed up my actions; if all the Fatui here are killed, how will the Delusion Factory operate?"

After saying that, he followed far behind Thunderclap and his group.
