After leaving the Kitsubero island, Elena and Hibiki went to an island called Makemi. This island was famous for it's amazing hot springs and this would be the the place where Elena and Hibiki were going to spend their night.
After travelling for the whole day, both of the ladies rested their bodies in the warm embrace of the hot spring to relax. There were so good food and sake accompanying them for them to enjoy. In this comfortable atmosphere, both Elena and Hibiki felt extrely relaxed.
While letting out a contented sigh, Hibiki asked Elena if she had enjoyed the day. She actually had a few more places to visit planned for this day but the troubles happening in the Kitsubero island took a lot of ti. So they were only able to visit two places.
Elena took a bite of the crispy chips provided for eating and smiled at Hibiki. Then she told her that the day was very enjoyable and she was looking forward to the next day.
Hearing this made Hibiki to relax even more and then she curiously started asking Elena about what her plans was regarding the corrupted officials. If Elena wanted, Hibiki could contact the adminstrator of the Kitsubero island and this whole incident would imdiately be taken care of.
This was a good suggestion but Elena still ended up rejecting it. The reason for that was simple. The plan she had in mind would give the officials a harsher punishnt and would also help the people affected by them more. So it would be a better solution than just to report the problem to the adminstrator. Hearing this, Hibiki nodded her head.
The adminstrators were extrely busy and not all adminstrators were good at governance. Having enough strength was the main qualifying factor for an administrator, so having corrupted officials was not a rare occurrence. As long as the lives of the islanders were not in any kind of danger, the adminstrators mostly overlooked the little shifting of so funds.
After enjoying a comfortable soak in the hot spring, Elena and Hibiki went to the dining to have a grand dinner. They had booked the whole resort for a night, so all the staffs were busy taking care of only these two super VIP guests. For that reason, the hospitality was absolutely top notched.
After enjoying a very sumptuous spread of sea food and local specialities, Elena went to bed in a very cheerful mood.
...
The next day, their journey continued. The first destination was the largest waterfall of Inazuyan Archipelago and the second one was the tallest sakura tree. Both of them were majestic sights.
After that Elena asked Hibiki about the tallest peak and she replied that Elena would be able to visit it when she would be eting with one of the shrine maidens. Her shrine was located at the top of the tallest peak.
Then for the third destination of the second day, Elena and Hibiki went to visit a city which was famous for weapon crafting. This city has several famous forges that had created at least 100 legendary weapons.
Among them, the Amoniwa forge had close relationship with Hibiki and they had also crafted her main weapons, the twin daggers. So they even allowed Elena to see their forging process without any restriction.
Elena was a top tier high level blacksmith so the low level skills were not useful to her directly but as these skills showed off unique ideas of the crafter who had ca up with it, Elena would still be able to use those techniques as reference.
After visiting these three locations, Hibiki took Elena to a special restaurant for so food. It was still too early for lunch but after staying with Elena for a whole day, Hibiki beca aware of how much Elena loved food. So she had modified her previous plans a little bit to include various famous food places in the journey every now and then.
The special restaurant where Hibiki took Elena was called Baratye. It was a famous restaurant known to have an extrely skills cook who was a pirate at the early part of his life. But later on, after suffering a lot in an accident, he stopped pirating and beca a chef. His skill as a chef was top notch and in no ti, his restaurant beca one of the most famous restaurants in the Inazuyan Archipelago.
In the Baratye, Elena ordered it's famous sea fried rice. It was a simple but amazing egg fried rice with a lot of sea creatures like lobsters, shrimps and crabs. It was extrely tasty and Elena could easily see why this restaurant was so famous.
...
Just like that, Elena and Hibiki visited various places and Elena praised Hibiki's taste again and again. All the locations where she had taken Elena were extrely beautiful and Elena was glad that she had such an excellent guide.
In the last few days, the matter regarding the corrupted officials had blown over in the Kitsubero island and Elena was planning to take care of the whole matter on the large party that she was about to visit next. This was also the party where Hibiki and Elena would be reunited with Kizuna.
The host of this large scale party was actually a shrine maiden. Only people above a certain amount of fa and authority were given the opportunity to join this party. Not even all the S rank powerhouses of the Inazuyan Archipelago would be invited in this grand celebration.
This party was a big deal and even with the harsh limitations, it still had thousands of participants. Be it rchants, large families or even adventurers, getting a chance to attend this party was a huge boost to soone's status.
The corrupted officials were also going to enter the party venue as companions of one of their collaborators of their sches. Now that they had lost the source of the jade, the relationship between them had beca strained. But still as the list of invitees had been already made before the fall off happened, the corrupted officials were still eligible to enter the party venue.
So Elena was planning to bring them down at that exact place. The two top businessn, who were the main people who were been oppressed by the officials would also be in the party as Elena's companions. So Elena was sure that the drama that would unfold between the two opposing parties would definitely be super fun to watch.
So with this in her mind, Elena dreased herself up in a beautiful yellow dress, wore a lot of jewelry made by the sa artisans whom she was supporting for this night and then while showing off her incredible beauty to the world, she went toward the party venue.
