"Kazuha! Beidou! What are you guys doing here?" Ayumu asked as he strolled over to join the growing group of people with Kokomi beside him.
Beidou had wandered over to watch in amusement as y/n bawled like a baby and Kazuha pat her back with a wary smile.
Gorou and Aether had run to check to make sure y/n was unharmed while Paimon floated behind them and the pink haired Divine Priestess in addition to the pink haired fugitive trailed after them.
Teppei too!
The Resistance Soldiers were picking themselves up, the injured being taken care of immediately.
"Your long lost twin was the one to request our help." Beidou replied with a smile, "As usual, she's several steps ahead of everyone."
Ayumu gave Kokomi a grin, "Nice, Kokomi!"
The duo gave each other a high five.
"Oh! Is this the person y/n was talking about?" Paimon realized after a brief moment.
Ayumu nodded, "Uh-huh! Aether, Paimon, meet Sangonomiya Kokomi! Watatsumi Island's wonderful Divine Priestess and possibly a distant relative of mine!"
Kokomi cleared her throat, calming herself and fighting back the luminous smile which was brought upon her face by her mischievous doppelgänger.
"Greetings, Aether. It's just as Ayumu said. My name is Sangonomiya Kokomi and I am also the leader of the Resistance as well as the Divine Priestess."
"Divine Priestess?" Aether echoed.
"She's the person currently in charge on Watatsumi Island." Y/n spoke up, "Watatsumi Island is where a majority of the Resistance is from."
"Ohhh, Paimon gets it!" Paimon exclaimed.
"I've actually heard all about you from Beidou and Kazuha. Though I hadn't expected to find you'd joined the resistance." Kokomi continued, "Do you have a plan beyond this point?"
"Nope." Aether replied with a shake of his head.
"Well, in that case, shall we continue our conversation at the shrine of Sangonomiya?" the Divine Priestess offered, "Although the Shogun's Army has retreated for now, the war is far from over."
"Considering that blondilocks over here took out a Harbinger, I'm sure he could be of great help to the Resistance." Ayumu chimed, "Don't you, Gorou? Y/n?"
Y/n nodded, "Yep! Kokomi, I'm sure Aether could help out with turning the tides in our favor."
"Ah, then lets discuss out counter plan over at the shrine at Watatsumi." Kokomi decided with a nod, "Aether?"
The blond nodded, "Sounds good to me."
"Um... Can I come, too?" Teppei asked tentatively, "I know Watatsumi Island very well. I can carry on being your guide, if you'd like."
"Oh yeah! You could sure teach Paimon a thing or two!" Paimon exclaimed, "Can he, Aether?"
The blond chuckled, "Of course."
Kokomi smiled before turning to the doggy General, "Gorou, thank you for all you have done. Our forces are weaker than the Shogun's Army, and my absence can only have made the recent days all the more trying for you."
Gorou, who had been trying to ignore Ayumu's aggressive eyebrow waggles finally managed to ignore the very dangerous buffoon's antics.
"I'm afraid I must still ask you to stay a while longer, to keep eyes on the Shogun's Army and also to see to the wounded." Kokomi paused, "...but I will ask the mercenaries to remain stationed here, y/n and Kazuha too. Hopefully, this will serve to reduce the pressure you are under."
"Well received, Your Excellency!" Gorou exclaimed, tail beginning to wag at the thought of spending time with y/n after so long.
"I must return to Sangonomiya now, I have a few things to attend to." Kokomi announced then turned to Aether, "Once you're ready, Aether, please rendezvous with Teppei. He will escort you there."
Ayumu blinked when the Divine Priestess turned her gaze to him, "Ayumu, please do provide more information on those vortexes and the sudden appearance of Osial."
The young man gave Kokomi a thumbs up in addition to a determined smile, "Got it."
Kokomi exhaled an almost silent sight of relief before nodding to everyone with a soft smile.
"Thank you for all your efforts so far. From this day on, I fight alongside you." she told them, "Fight... for the future of Inazuma."

"It's been a while, hasn't it?" y/n commented as her and Kazuha stood watch outside the camp.
Night had fallen and light rain kept the duo company as they stood near one another.
The events of that day had left y/n feeling weary but Kazuha's presence gave her a little bit of that much needed energy and motivation.
Neither of them looked at one another, eyes fixed ahead though they were both acutely aware of each other's slightest movements.
"It has." Kazuha hummed, "How have you been? You stopped visiting the Crux after the Rite of Descension."
Y/n exhaled, looking worn and defeated, "Aha... I've had a lot on my mind very recently... it's all been so draining, I don't think I've gotten a full night of rest for at least three months by now..."
Kazuha glanced at y/n, his eyes glimmering with amusement, "Ah, I can tell. Well, feel free to share. We'll be out here for another hour after all."
Y/n almost began to ramble, she almost did.
However... she thought better of it.
Instead-
"I can't help but feel like my hearing has gotten sharper." y/n admitted, "Everything here is so loud and almost overwhelming for me."
"Is that so?"
"Mhm... and I'm extremely worried about the people on Narukami." y/n continued, staring off into the distance at the flashes of purple and blue light on the other side of the massive vortexes which surrounded Narukami Island.
Ten... eleven... no, twenty-seven more vortexes of smaller size had popped up in the sea around Narukami and near Yashiori Island.
"I hope everyone is alright." y/n murmured and closed her eyes as she imagined the scary light y/n had seen in Haiyang's eyes during his fight with Baal.
He was excited.
Goodness, he was going to be the end of y/n.
"If it stresses you so much, let's talk about something else." Kazuha suggested, "Like... those stories you wanted to tell me all those months ago."
Y/n remembered immediately, "Oh, those silly children's stories, right? Okay! Which do you want me to start with?"
"Anyone you'd like."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Oh, alright then!"
