"Ayato said you needed to see me? What happened dear Y/N?" Ei said, you and her were on top of the Tenshukaku her own abode, Ei dismissed all her servants the two of you were the ones in the room. You took a deep breathe. "I have something to ask you." You said looking at her directly, seeing your serious expression Ei felt a little unsettled. 
"News may already came to you that I passed out on Ritou yesterday." Ei nod you continued. "I don't know If it is the reality but when I was unconscious I met someone. He told me If I ever escaped that nightmare to tell you that a man named Kunizushi came to visit me."
Silence. 
You heard a glass bottle crack to see Ei's dango milk on the floor shattered into pieces. She ran towards you scanning you everywhere. "What did he do to you?! Were you hurt?" You were startled you had never seen Ei reacted to this nor her other demeanor which she always wear within formal gatherings. "Ei.. what's wrong?" 
The electro archon was anxious. She heard that he was scouted by the fatui but why did he visited you? 
"Ei I told you, Things will get messy in the near future and now it has come to this." Yae Miko said entering the room, she too was in a serious expression not the usual expression she would always wear. "Did you say Kunikuzushi?" Yae asked you, you nod. "There's no point on hiding it." 
"The man you met is known as the No. 6 of the Fatui Harbingers, The balladeer." 
"He is also the first prototype puppet Ei had created." You were confused. Puppet? That man was a puppet? "Allow me to explain, I created puppets for my eternal form so that i cannot die while i continue to pursue the eternity that I want, the first puppet i had modified was Kunikuzushi, and the final product was the Raiden Shogun. The one you met on your engagement banquet was the Shogun puppet." 
It started to make sense why Ei is different sometimes because it wasn't her it's the puppet. "But why did he visited me?" You asked. Yae pondered, "You can think of it this way Y/N. Ei and Kunikuzushi are practically Mother and Son you see, you yourself is acquainted with Ei yourself perhaps he wants revenge from Ei that's why he wants to use you." Your brows furrowed you were confused. 
"That's not the big issue here, Ei i told you Kunikuzushi has your gnosis, I'm afraid I cannot tell what his moves is going to be. Y/N is in grave danger as of now." Ei was anxious, she was you were too if something was to happen to you what about your family? "This has got nothing to do with Y/N. I was the one who abandoned him he should be coming for me not for my people." Ei shooked her head in disappointment. 
She never knew that kunikuzushi would become this stubborn and wicked, alas when she created him he had the heart of a human which was unfitting for a ruler thus why she discarded him away. "Tsk!" Ei exclaimed, You and The kitsune comforted her in a way. 
Back in the estate Ayaka and Ayato had trained the little children, Ayaka was training Qiqi how to properly wield her sword and Ayato properly teaching Yuki how to wield a sword, Yuki unlike his mother was very healthy and energetic thus stamina wasn't an issue he also remembers quickly that's training him was easy he definitely inherited it from ayato, Ayato was confused whether to teach him about the Kamisato Art since he is still very young, And he didn't still receive a vision yet. 
Klee was on the Estate with Sayu they were watching them train. Though klee doesn't know how swords works because all she knows is bombs and Sayu well- all she knows is sleep. "Good Yuki, your a quick learner. Brother might teach you the Kamisato Art in no time." Ayaka said patting Yuki's head, Qiqi was also nodding. "Qiqi thinks Yuki is cool." She gave Yuki a thumbs up. The little boy grinned. Ayato looked down on the kids seeing them happy made his day.
