GBP Chapter 387 Thomas
Chapter 387 Thomas
Maple leaves are scattered everywhere, and the Inazuma-style buildings are reflected in the water under the setting sun...
The mountain behind the town is covered with cherry blossom trees, the mountaintop glowing with purple light. The sacred cherry trees emit wisps of fragrance that surround the two mountain peaks, this is Yingxiang Mountain.
Given the size of the Death Star, it couldn't directly enter this small port...
Thus, the travelers from a foreign land arrived at the shore in their small wooden boats, officially stepping into the land of Inazuma.
The group followed Captain Beidou forward, glancing this way and that way...
A man dressed in Inazuma clothing, with blond hair, a Mondstadt face, and the Eye of Vulcan hanging from his waist, was sitting on the goods, passing the time.
He tossed the Mora in his hand, and when he saw Captain Beidou, he jogged over and greeted him with a flourish.
"Finally here, the 'Big Sister of Liyue,' I've been waiting so long. And these four thieves too..."
Just as the man was about to habitually utter the word "illegal immigrant," Captain Beidou gave him a look.
He realized what he had said, scratched his head, and corrected himself:
"Oh no, distinguished guest."
Seeing this, Ying and Paimon breathed a sigh of relief...
However, the commotion still attracted the attention of nearby traffic control personnel.
Seeing this, Beidou picked up where Thomas left off, pretending nothing had happened, and started chatting casually.
"It's all because of your general. The thunderstorms and waves off the coast of Inazuma have been even stronger than before... Although my fleet did its best, it still caused some delays."
As he spoke, Beidou turned his head and looked at Ying and Huiyuan.
"Let me introduce you. This is Thomas, a business partner I've only recently become acquainted with."
Then Beidou looked at Thomas and introduced him to Hunyuan and Marta.
"Thoma, these two are 'Inazuma's Clan' from Liyue. You can probably tell by their attire."
Huiyuan nodded and introduced herself, "My name is 'Tsugikuni Ichigen,' and this is my younger sister, 'Xiao Nai.' We grew up in Liyue and came to Inazuma to find our blood relatives."
Upon hearing this, Ying put on a shocked expression, her mind filled with complaints.
(Why did you steal my words? Also, Yuanbao, you're in the form of a fox demon now, while Marta is a cat. How do you look like sisters?)
However, Thomas actually accepted this premise, saying sympathetically:
“I see. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Yuan. And these two must be the famous Traveler and Paimon, right? Your reputation is so great that even the storms of the open sea can’t stop you.”
Upon hearing this, Yingmei humbly cupped her hands in greeting.
"I am over-flattered."
Seeing that Thomas had heard of the Traveler's name, Beidou said:
"Well, that makes things easier. Thomas has been operating on this island for a long time; you could say he's a local bigwig. If you encounter any difficulties, just go to him. But if he has any ill intentions towards you... I'll stand up for you next time you come to Inazuma. It's about time; I still have a 'wanted criminal' hiding on my ship, so it's not convenient for me to stay any longer."
The "wanted criminal" here naturally refers to Kaedehara Manyo.
After all, apart from him, no one else present had ever broken into the royal duel and snatched back the Eye of God in front of General Raiden.
Beidou said goodbye to everyone, then tossed his hair and left with a flourish.
Seeing this, Thomas said to the crowd:
"Then, let's go to the inspection station to register first."
"Eh, are we going to confront Inazuma's officials directly? Weren't we supposed to do it secretly..."
Seeing Paimon's confusion, Thomas wagged his index finger.
"Haha, don't underestimate the lockdown order. There's no way to avoid identity checks. So we have to do the dirty work properly... and deal with the irregularities properly."
What is contradictory literature? Look, this is what contradictory literature is.
So, how do we properly handle irregular matters?
There are many methods, the most convenient and quickest of which is to use a mola smasher.
If you have a lot of money, then you are the rule itself!
Another method is to leverage personal connections. With Huiyuan's connections... what is there to worry about?
Upon entering the small harbor, the group arrived at a small wooden shed...
The female inspector inside was named Yinshan. She stood up from her chair when she saw the visitor.
"Hello, gentlemen. Please state your identities and purpose for visiting the island. Oh, Mr. Thomas, no need for that. You are... complete strangers. Could you please provide some detailed information, and whether you have any accompanying cargo...?"
Paimon and Ying were completely unprepared for this scene and stammered.
What should we do? They have a lockdown order, so we can't exactly say we're looking for family, can we?
Seeing this, Huiyuan looked at Thomas and said:
"Mr. Thomas, shouldn't you produce the relevant paperwork and documents by now?"
To enter Inazuma, one needs a "pass," and according to the procedure, one has to go to the "Exotic Governor's Office" and spend a long time completing the formalities.
Moreover, given that the country is currently under lockdown, it would be impossible to complete these procedures without having some "special connections."
So who is Huiyuan's "special relationship" with?
It's obvious without even thinking that it's the "Shabu-bugyou" (corps manager) under the Kamisato family, the boss behind Thomas.
If the paperwork isn't in Thomas's hands, then who else could it be in?
Huiyuan crossed her arms, looked at Thomas with disdain, and began to complain.
"Mr. Thomas, you didn't... take it, did you?"
Thomas scratched his head awkwardly, pulled out a document from his bag, and said:
"Haha, actually I just wanted to see how you would react, sorry, sorry."
Seeing this, Paimon stomped his foot and complained about Thomas with great dissatisfaction.
"What's so interesting about this!"
Miss Yinshan took the paperwork, glanced at it briefly, nodded, and let everyone enter the island.
Following the direction from which the maple leaves drifted, Thomas began to explain where they were headed next.
"Next, we need to go to the 'Foreign Affairs Bureau.' We were just checking your landing permit; if you want to stay on the island, you'll need to go to the Foreign Affairs Bureau to complete your residency procedures."
"Wow, this is way too strict..."
Seeing Paimon complain, Thomas shrugged, indicating that he was also helpless.
"After all, in Inazuma, foreigners are called 'Outsiders.' The name itself reflects this; under the isolationist policy, foreigners aren't exactly welcome. This is true even on remote islands without designated 'Outsider Residency Areas.'"
Upon hearing this, Yingmei smiled and replied:
"There's nothing we can do. Even if we're not popular, we can't just stay here."
Seeing the unwavering expression on Ying's face, an expression even those who possessed the Eye of God could not match, Thomas's eyes lit up as if he had seen a treasure.
(If it were the head of the family, he would definitely say: This person will definitely be of great use in the future, we must not make enemies with her... Thomas, go and build a good relationship with her, establish a good connection.)
Thinking this to himself, Thomas said:
"Haha, I like your awareness, we'll definitely get along well."
