Ellin dismissed Mona's divination this time as a minor interlude and put it out of her mind.
She stayed in Mondstadt a little longer, then headed to Inazuma.
With Ei finally overcoming her inner struggles, the Sakoku Decree was at last lifted.
Merchants seized the opportunity, and all sorts of new things began pouring into Inazuma from every direction.
But this had both advantages and drawbacks. Although the influx of foreign merchants would benefit Inazuma, it would inevitably disrupt its local industries as well.
As a result, Ei was extremely busy during this period, drafting policies with the full support of the Tri-Commission.
With the Sakoku Decree lifted, Inazuma had much to rebuild.
Previously, the Sakoku Decree had all but paralyzed Inazuma's tourism industry.
Thus, after lifting the decree, Ei focused her policies on reshaping the world's perception of Inazuma and revitalizing its tourism industry.
At Ei's direction, the Tri-Commission worked together to hold a grand festival on Ritou, named the [Magnificent Irodori Festival].
The Irodori Festival was bustling with activity, with many invited guests from abroad.
This festival, the grandest since the Sakoku Decree had been issued, also attracted countless Inazuman residents.
The streets of Ritou were packed during the Irodori Festival.
There were two main reasons this year's Irodori Festival was so lively.
First, the [Statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho] and the [Statue of Her Excellency, the Sunlit Heaven-Clearing True God Ogosho], jointly crafted by several of Inazuma's finest lacquerware artisans, were going on sale to the public.
Each statue had a limited run of 1,000, with every piece numbered and purchases limited to two per person.
The Raiden Shogun and the Sky-Clearing Shogun were the gods who protected Inazuma, revered by all its people.
The people's reverence for these twin gods was beyond words.
