Chereads / Teyvat: Pretender / Chapter 7 - "I can fix her."

Chapter 7 - "I can fix her."

"...." Sara just watched as everything unfolded, watching her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder bestow divine punishment.

She can't have enough of her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder.

'Even the most advanced kamera wouldn't be able to capture the majesty of her excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder!' Thought the General complimenting her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder.

However, just as the Shogun is about to take the vision of the now-dead samurai, it was abruptly taken away by another young man, somewhat similar haired to the one Kujou Sara fought.

After getting his hand on the vision, the young man ran, while being pursued by the army.

The Shogun didn't care anymore about the one who just stole HER vision, but there was another thing that caught her interest.

Her gaze scanned Sara, something was a little "peculiar" about her these past few weeks.

'It is as though she wishes to conceal something... From me.' Her gaze remained fixed on Kujou Sara.

'Not an immediate concern. I'll keep an eye on her for the next few days.' Additionally, passing judgment too soon would be detrimental, especially to a valuable asset.

She is aware of the General's unwavering loyalty to her and Inazuma as a whole, So suspecting her of betrayal is unlikely.

However

'the possibility of unwitting manipulation cannot be dismissed'

"Your Excellency...?" Kujou Sara inquired, her eyes catching the Shogun's intense gaze as if her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder sought to unravel, reveal, and analyze every facet of her being.

The gaze felt akin to undergoing an autopsy, as if every intention she harbored would be laid bare even before she had a chance to act upon them.

It's unnerving.

Disorienting even.

As Kujou Sara pondered, a sense of dread washed over her, the possibility: "Did she find out?" This realization, filled her with fear.

But there's nothing she can do now.

The Shogun already found out. (She did not.)

'Wait... Why am I even hiding this from the Shogun in the first place?' Confused Sara said in her mind 'Why am I acting like this?...' A subtle frustration manifested on her face as she grappled with the perplexity of her own behavior.

However, she forgot about what a certain inconsiderate fuck would do.

Just as the crow is having an existential crisis

Dantalion.

Not giving a shit about the situation.

And the Shogun already taking her eyes off Kujou Sara.

A chance the piece of shit wouldn't let slide. 

 

So he uttered;

"I can fix her."

Her neck suddenly snapped back to look!

'Holy fuck!' Dantalion yelled in his mind

He just saw the head of the Shogun snapping at Kujou Sara, like scenes from horror movies.

"..." Sara saw the whole confrontation.

'Yes... That's right... Why am I subconsciously protecting this guy?'

The Shogun, studying Kujou Sara but seeing as everything seems normal.

She looked away again.

And of course.

Some idiots really like playing with fire.

"HErrEHEHE∼"

She looked back.

Staring longer than before, she heard a laugh that would make a certain fat man proud.

Silence enveloped both the Shogun and the General.

One scrutinizing intently,

While the other trembled with nervousness.

Growing irritated, as if testing something, the Shogun averted her gaze.

"HerHoohssHeHmAaHRHeHrHeeH∼"

Even though she's just a puppet, she has her own consciousness, therefore she is capable of emotions, though little, emotion is emotion.

So, at that moment, she felt something annoying was about to come.

So annoying that if isn't resolved now, would haunt her for a long time. [1]

Kujou Sara, being stared at by the Shogun for a long period of time with no words spoken, her nervousness escalated with each passing second.

The Shogun's gaze seems to bore into her.

She just witnessed Dantalion do something that could get both of them shredded to pieces and now the Shogun's eyes wouldn't leave her.

'I'm in danger aren't I?' 

 

But with this weird exchange

'It seems the Shogun's still unaware--'

Noticing her thoughts, she immediately stopped it

'...'

She's in the middle of something that could literally erase her, Dantalion inside her seems to have the genius idea to annoy and make fun of the Shogun.

And as many say, the third one's the charm.

"~NIGG--" However, before he could finish his words full of holiness, she immediately took action, delivering a swift punch to her own face and then kneeling before the Shogun. She wouldn't let that third time come, otherwise, they might just be truly fucked.

Apologizing for her incompetence of not understanding those gazes meant in a dignified and respectful manner.

Despite the respectful and dignified tone outside, in her mind; 'WHATAREYOUDOINGGFUCKTARDD!!AAAAAAAAAA!!'

She's really calm, isn't she?

--- 

 

The Shogun's eyes glowed for a moment before dimming back. 

 

The booba sword's Interest has been captured.
