Ei

"Hey... How are you feeling?"

You

"I'm mad."

Ei

"Hm. It's okay to be angry."

You

"I don't like being angry. It doesn't feel good."

Ei

"I know, I know... Things will get better now that you're with me, hm?"

You

"I hope so..."

You were sitting in a cozy bed, which was undoubtedly preferred to your everyday tent bed of a sleeping bag. Before you went to bed, Ei sat with you at the edge of the bed. Sleeping was problematic, you had recently lost two of your closest friends and were uncertain of what to do.

Ei

"How's your leg?"

You

"Better. It still hurts though."

Ei

"Alright... You better rest. Once your leg gets better, we'll make you stronger."

You

"Stronger?..."

Ei

"Yes. You want revenge, isn't that right?"

You

"... Revenge?..."

Ei

"Yeah... You know..."

You

"What is..."

Ei

"Ah. It's like... We'll do something to get back at your friend. He has left you, and now we will get him back for that. Kaedehara Kazuha is a criminal."

You

"Criminal?..."

Ei

"And so was Tomo. They were against the Vision Hunt Decree, Kazuha must be arrested."

You

"Does that mean... I'm a criminal? Will I get arrested?"

Ei

"No. You're with me now. You're on my side. Nobody will ever hurt you as long as you're with me."

Ei had left you to sleep and you grinned.

-THE NEXT DAY-

Kazuha

"... Y/N?"

Kazuha was searching for you everywhere while disguised as an everyday Inazuma citizen. Kazuha had asked people in the area of Inazuma City if they had seen you while displaying a photo of you.

He believed you vanished. Kazuha wanted you back after all that violence and was constantly worrying, filled with guilt. He felt terrible for having left you there with a broken leg. When he returned to the scene of Tomo's death, the body was gone.

So were you.

Even though he searched the tent and every abandoned home in Inazuma, he came up empty-handed.

-A FEW MONTHS LATER-

Kujuo Sara

"... Hey, you."

You

"Hm?"

You were practising with the dummies, shredding them to pieces, while Kujuo Sara was leaning against a wall with her arms crossed. As time went on, the idea of Kazuha abandoning you just made you angrier.

You started behaving exactly like Kujuo Sara. No matter what, you were always by the Raiden Shogun's side, attending to her needs. You were serious and slightly cruel. Finally, you understood what it meant to be a strong person.

Kujuo Sara

"I heard that your little friend is looking for you."

You

*Sigh* "We aren't friends. And why does it matter to me?"

Kujuo Sara

"Ah, just thought I'd let you know. A ton of Inazumans have reported that someone's looking for Y/N. That 'someone' is you."

You

"I don't care. Once he comes out of his little hiding spot to look for me, that's when we go for him. Then he'll be put in jail, where he belongs."

Kujuo Sara

"But don't you belong in there too?"

You

"... What?"

Kujuo Sara

"You also used to be against the Vision Hunt Decree. You disobeyed the Raiden Shogun."

You

"No... That was before. I'm on the Raiden Shogun's side now."

You then walked away to continue beating the training dummies. Although they didn't know who you were, those in Inazuma nicknamed you Raiden's Assistant. You obeyed whatever the Raiden Shogun commanded you to do.

You were utterly devoted to the Raiden Shogun, and you would have killed or put your life in danger to serve her.

You started a war with the Watatsumi Army, but the Raiden Shogun obviously gave the command. You teased Sangonomiya Kokomi and General Gorou after every victory, and they eventually developed a hatred for you.

The Tenryou Commission has grown to be a valuable asset to you and sincerely regrets any problems they have given you in the past.

-A FEW MORE MONTHS LATER-

Gorou

"Agh, they've really done it this time!"

Kokomi

"Please Gorou, calm down."

Beidou

"Oh, ho-ho, why's the dog so grumpy?"

Gorou

"Hey!"

Kazuha

"..."

The next time you and the other members of the Tenryou Commission decide to attack the Watatsumi Army, Kokomi had requested that Beidou and Kazuha come as additional reinforcement.

Kokomi

*Sigh* "We had lost to them, again..."

Beidou

"Don't worry, now that I and Kazuha are here, we'll beat them to a pulp!"

Gorou

"Yeah, I doubt that. They're strong."

Beidou

"Pfft... Come on, they're just the Tenryou Commission. It's four vision holders against visionless ones."

Kokomi

"Oh... No Beidou, I don't think you understand."

Gorou

*Groan* "They never come without that annoying prick."

Kazuha

"... Annoying prick?"

Beidou

"Oh, Kujuo Sara? Don't worry! We'll be able to handle it."

Kokomi

"No, not Kujuo Sara. The Raiden's Assistant."

Gorou

"They are my greatest enemy!"

Kazuha

"Assistant..."

Gorou

"Even though it's one vision holder with an army of those who are visionless, they're still as powerful as ever. Some say that they almost have equal strength to the Electro Archon herself."

Beidou

"Equal strength?! You're joking!... The Electro Archon is the most powerful archon of all, that's such a lie!"

Gorou

"I mean yeah, they're powerful, and they're fighting style is extremely similar to the Raiden's, but I don't think they'll ever overpower the Electro Archon. The rumours that go around about them are pretty ridiculous, honestly."

Kokomi

"They always manage to get on my last nerve. The organization they have with the battlefield and their army of soldiers is insane."

Beidou

"Ooh... I'm afraid this is gonna be a lot harder than we thought, Kazu."

Kazuha

"Name. Do they have a name?"

Kokomi

"We've only ever called them N/N (nickname), but only the Raiden and Kujuo Sara know their real name."

Kazuha

"Oh..."

Gorou

"Why so interested, Kazuha?"

Kazuha

"It's nothing. I'm just getting to know my enemy."

Beidou

"Or maybe... Kazuha's looking for someone to go out with! Ha!"

After receiving a playful backslap from Beidou, he nervously laughed.They preferred to initiate the attack this time, as opposed to you attacking the Watatsumi Army. Even though it was risky, the four of them thought it would be worthwhile given all the trouble you had put them through.

You

"So, what's the plan today? Watatsumi Island again, or someone different?"

Ei

"Hm... Maybe today you should rest Y/N."

You

"... Wait- I should what?"

Ei

"Rest."

You

"... Huh?... Wh- I don't understand."

Ei

"Y/N, you must learn to take care of yourself."

You were last told of that just before Tomo was put to death.

You

"... But I'm doing just fine carrying out the orders you give me."

Ei

"Well, today is a day of rest, okay? You've been serving me well enough for a year with no breaks. It's time you take one, you really deserve it Y/N."

You

"A break... What am I supposed to do?"

Ei

"Sleep. I rarely see you in bed anymore, the most sleep you've gotten was only two hours. That's not very healthy."

You

"Is that not... Normal?"

Ei

*Chuckle* "Sleeping late is normal, but getting two hours of sleep isn't. Do you ever get any headaches?"

You

"Um... Sometimes. But the medication I take for it always makes it go away."

Ei

"Well, make sure you don't take too much of the medication, okay? That isn't very healthy either."

You

"Alright... I'll keep that in mind. So today I just... Sleep?"

Ei

"You can do anything you want today."

You

"Then I'll go out to train-"

Ei

"You can do anything you want today, but train. Don't do anything that tires you. Maybe go out to get a snack, yeah?"

You

"I mean... I'm pretty satisfied with your cooking here. Your food's the best."

Ei

"Sure, but there are other foods out there that you could go try."

You

"Other foods..."

Ei

"Mhm."

Before you knew it, you were exploring Inazuma City's restaurants while roaming around. People who were passing you merely looked and whispered to one another, but you ignored them because you couldn't comprehend what was happening.

At the Kiminami Restaurant, you made a stop.

You

"Um... Hi."

Kiminami Anna

"... Oh! If it isn't N/N! What would you like to order?!"

The restaurant's owner, Kiminami Anna, had a cheerful expression on her face.

You

"I... Uh... Order?"

Kiminami Anna

"Yup! I've got a variety of foods here, you could even purchase a recipe if you'd like! F-For today, it could be 50% off."

You

"Fifty what?..."

Everything was too confusing for you, but you kind of liked how Kiminami Anna was so joyful.

Kiminami Anna

"He-Here, I'll give you some time to see what you'd like to get. Take your time, okay?"

You

"How do I take my time..."

You muttered to yourself.

Tenryou Commission Soldier

"N/N! Are you alright?!"

You

"Wh- Huh?"

Tenryou Commission Soldier

"What are you doing here?"

You

"I'm um... 'Ordering' food."

Tenryou Commission Soldier

"Ah... I see."

You

"Ei- I mean... The Raiden Shogun told me it's my 'day off'."

Tenryou Commission Soldier

"Then - Please, allow me to accompany you."

You

"Ah... Sure. I don't know what to order. Could you order for me?"

Tenryou Commission Soldier

"Well... You should pick. It's your order after all. Just take a look at the menu and choose anything that you think would satisfy your taste."

You

"Satisfy my taste?..."

Tenryou Commission Soldier

"Oh... That's right. It's like something that you think would taste good."

You

"Oh! I see..."

In contrast to other people, the Tenryou Commission, Raiden, and Kujuo Sara were aware of your lack of knowledge of the "outside world." They tried their best to assist you.

You

"Uh... I'll get... I'll get your-"

Tenryou Commission Soldier 2

"We're under attack! Everybody evacuate!"

Many Tenryou Commission Soldiers were stationed around Inazuma City, primarily guarding Raiden's resident.
