They had abruptly ended their kiss, looking at eachother passionately. Their gaze was fixed on eachother and they didn't dare to shift their gaze somewhere else.

They knew that this might be the last time they might see eachother in a while and wanted to savor each moment together.

However, unknown to them, Beidou watched all this from the sidelines. Beidou then walked towards the two. Both of them were flustered, especially Kazuha.

Beidou looked upset and disappointed. Kazuha looked at Beidou nervously. Beidou then put her hands on Kazuha's shoulder, whispering his name in a terrifying manner.

"Kazuha..."

Kazuha said while stuttering, "I-I can explain! I- uh-"

Beidou then began to smile and patted his back. "Seems like the Kaedehara Kid from the Crux Fleet found his true love!"

Heizou looked at Kazuha with confusion in his eyes. "What's happening?" Heizou whisphered. Kazuha just nodded in confusion. Beidou continued, "Kazuha, you could have just told me you wanted your friend to come. A friend of my friend is a friend right? But it's up to him too...."

The two boys were overjoyed with Beidou's words. Heizou then ran back to the Police Station and issued a leave and made his way back quickly.

"I'm back!" Heizou yelled, waving at the two. They greeted them with open arms and began heading out. They set sail slowly. By that time, it became midnight, Heizou and Kazuha fell asleep together.

5 hours later, both of them awoke to the loud rumbling of thunder. As they jolted awake, they noticed a that they had been caught in a thunderstorm. Kazuha asked frantically, "Beidou! Where have we reached?!?"

Beidou yelled, "If we could move at our pace that we had during midnight, around 6 hours to Liyue! However, we have to hurry out of this storm!"

Kazuha then tried his best to help maintain the safety of all the crew members. Heizou rushed along with Kazuha. Kazuha stared at the fierce rainfall descending from the dark obsidian clouds. This reminded him of the fury of the Raiden Shogun.

Kazuha stared gravely, and began to
move swiftly. The Alcor was bobbing up and down on the gargantuan waves of the sea. The rain was pouring fiercely, thunder raged in the surroundings and
the wind blew destructively. The sea had been surrounded by peril in every direction.

Kazuha wondered why there was a thunderstorm as fierce as this after the abolishment of the Sakoku Decree. He yelled at Beidou who was in the other side of the boat. "Beidou! Is this thunderstorm caused by the Raiden Shogun?!?" He asked.

Beidou replied that it wasn't the case. As they worried for the safety of the crew members, Heizou suddenly tripped and fell and began sliding to the edge of The Alcor. Kazuha extended his arm and yelled out his name, running to him, fearing for the worst.

The waves then hit the boat once more, causing Heizou to fall off into the raging sea. Heizou was suppressed by the waves and struggled to breathe. He could feel the sea water enter his windpipe.

Kazuha cried out his name. Beidou ran over to him and held his shoulder telling him not to be careless. Kazuha did not listen to a word she said and surrounded himself with anemo and leaped up. Beidou yelled our his name.

He then plunged into the sea, using the anemo surrounding him to make an air bubble. Kazuha then swam towards an unconscious Heizou and grabbed him slowly. Heizou could breathe due to Kazuha's air bubble.

Heizou slowly regained consciousness and began coughing and spitting out water. Kazuha hugged him tightly. As Heizou tried to breathe, Kazuha held him tight and hugged him.

Kazuha frantically asked him if he was okay to which Heizou replied, "I think so." They then used their anemo-powers in unison making the air bubble bigger.

They then broke through the surface of the sea, releasing the Air Bubble. They took a breath of fresh air and and propelled themselves upward, grabbing the edge of The Alcor.

The crew members then lifted them up in panic. As they panted out of fatigue and tiredness, they were all relieved. Some minutes later, they had escaped the storm.

Soon after, the glorious land of Liyue Harbor was in sight. As they laughed nevorusly while Beidou gave them an earful, they were getting closer and closer to the harbor.

Some minutes later, they had finally arrived. Heizou looked up to the sunlit sky and took a breath of fresh air. He could feel the ocean winds blowing past him. Kazuha held his shoulder and yelled out, "We're here!"
