"Sara, you're a very mature and strong person. But this time, what you should be looking at isn't me—it's Shura Anyakonsen-shou."
Cid placed the Shura Anyakonsen-shou token in front of little Sara.
"Shura Anyakonsen-shou was born because of my existence, but in reality, I'm merely the spark.
If it weren't for the Shogun's unclear explanation of Eternity leading to people's suffering, how could the people possibly need a Shura Anyakonsen-shou to seek justice?"
Cid took out the bloody record that the former head of the Kamisato family had given him back then.
Fun fact: Kujou Takayuki was capable of accepting refugees onto ships to take them away, only to then bombard the refugee ships.
The contents of this book were filled with darkness that was cold and all too real.
"These things, the Shogun naturally didn't know about before. The good news is the same—the Shogun's Eternity doesn't like darkness either."
Shura Anyakonsen-shou master sat down in front of little Sara.
"The Shogun's Eternity is ultimately centered on the people of Inazuma. But the Shogun… seems not very good at expressing it. That's why we, as Shura Anyakonsen-shou, are needed to interpret it correctly."
Little Sara fell silent, but soon asked her Shura Anyakonsen-shou master.
"Then Master, what do you mean by 'change'?"
"The Shogun once said she pursues an unchanging, immutable Eternity. What do you think that 'unchanging and immutable' refers to?"
Little Sara answered.
"The people of Inazuma living in peace and prosperity?"
"Yes, and also no."
Little Sara looked at her Shura Anyakonsen-shou master in surprise. At this moment, her master's expression was calm and somewhat inscrutable.
"Sara, the Shogun's Eternity isn't merely that. What she pursues is an eternally unchanging Inazuma that remains forever in its original state."
"An eternally unchanging Inazuma that remains forever in its original state…?"
Sara was somewhat puzzled by this.
"It means that once we gradually develop Inazuma, the Shogun might step in and lock Inazuma in a state where it can no longer progress."
Little Sara's eyes were filled with shock.
"Why would she do that?"
"Because that is unchanging Eternity."
Shura Anyakonsen-shou master's tone was very certain.
"The Shogun… wouldn't do that, right?"
From her recent studies, little Sara knew very well: if the Shogun pressed the pause button on development, Inazuma would stagnate and regress.
"That's why I said it's only a possibility."
Although only a possibility, the probability of it happening was indeed very high.
Little Sara fell silent. At this moment, her heart was filled with hesitation.
It's only a possibility—that means…
One day in the future, she might end up going against the Shogun?
Looking at the silent little Sara, Shura Anyakonsen-shou knew that this period of time together had still had an influence.
If it were the resolute Kujou Sara from the original Genshin Impact plot, she would probably head in the direction of "the Shogun comes first no matter what."
But now she was still a child. Although her faith in the Shogun remained deeply rooted, she could also change—just like the Shogun herself.
He didn't expect to change her essence, but he could try to seek common ground while preserving differences.
"Shura Anyakonsen-shou was born from the people's longing for a better life. Our Eternity is built upon the foundation of Inazuma's people.
The Shogun's Eternity is Inazuma's Eternity. Sara, conflict is possible.
If that day comes, Sara, would you raise your blade against the people of Inazuma?"
