The Inazuma delegation was about to set off for distant Sumeru to establish diplomatic relations, and naturally, the Shogunate could not neglect the delegation members about to leave on business.
And so, another lively farewell banquet was held. This banquet was far livelier and larger than the last; besides Inazuma's officials, members of the Liyue and Mondstadt delegations stationed in Inazuma also attended.
This probably also counted as Shenhe's first formal public appearance as Inazuma's Regent's wife. With Sara, Eula, Ganyu, and Yelan accompanying her, the five strikingly poised beauties appeared together and instantly became the stars of the banquet, relegating Yucheng, its original star, to a corner.
After Sara's nighttime visit, Yucheng had become rather wary of banquets held in Inazuma-once bitten, twice shy.
Especially with everything looking so familiar, Yucheng could not help casting another glance at Sara beside him, his eyes seeming to ask, Are you going to do this again?
This time, Sara blushed scarlet and shook her head desperately to indicate that she knew nothing about it this time.
After receiving Sara's denial, Yucheng finally felt somewhat reassured. However, when he saw that sly fox arrive at the banquet with light steps, he immediately had an ominous feeling.
Yae Miko noticed Yucheng's strange gaze. After glancing at the blushing Sara, she immediately understood something and gave Yucheng a suggestive smile before slowly heading off to find some aburaage.

But a closer look at that signature backpack and conspicuous red dress revealed none other than the lively, adorable Klee.
