After spending some time in Mondstadt and Liyue,
with everything in Inazuma now waiting to be rebuilt,
Ellin returned to Inazuma.
Watatsumi Island.
With the war over, Narukami Island resumed trade with Watatsumi Island.

At the time, Inazuma had been embroiled in civil unrest, the Fatui had been stirring up trouble, and the Sakoku Decree had imposed restrictions. More importantly, Kairagi and bandits had been running rampant everywhere.
Under those circumstances, developing tourism had been impossible.
But things were
