The pier in Ritou has become calmer, which gave the young Kamisato housekeeper a breath of relief. Ever since the Shogun has rescinded the Sakoku Decree, more and more merchants were leaving to do business elsewhere in Teyvat, and he could only smile as another boat began to prepare for travel. More merchants leaving meant better goods coming in for the International Trade Association. More business for them meant more people could experience new things, and learn about the other regions. Although he wanted what was best for the people of Inazuma, the Kamisato's also wanted what was best for him.
It took several hours of conversation between Thoma, the clan head and Ayaka, but they managed to convince him that he, above others, deserved a break. Although he didn't want to leave without completing his duties, Ayato insisted that he pack and not come back 'until you have had a proper rest.' He didn't want to go against the clan head's words, but a vacation? Rest? If he insisted.
"Excuse me," the blond waved towards one of the few boats left, a man about his age at the helm. "Sorry to trouble you, but would you have any space for a passenger to Mondstadt?"
