He couldn't wait to read on.
As the story slowly unfolds, the door to a new world is opening for Heizo Shikanoin.
Is this the adult world?
Chapter 10 You can always trust Yaedou
The gentle and warm morning light shines on the streets of Inazuma City's commercial district.
There was a bustling crowd of people in front of the Yaedo store, and they all came here with the same goal.
But the strange thing is that all the people who came were men, and many of them lowered their heads or wore masks, trying their best not to let others see their faces clearly.
This doesn't look like buying a novel, but more like participating in some secret activity.
Editor Kuroda is busy at the counter. Yaedo hasn't been so lively for a long time. The last time was when the epic masterpiece "I Got Reincarnated as the Raiden Shogun, and Then I Got Invincible" was released. That book set a record that was unprecedented and unmatched.
The reason why it is so lively this time is the release of "My Husband is Powerless, So As an Executive, I Have No Choice but to Take the Path of Immorality".
Yaedo did not promote this peculiar novel at all, and it could not even be seen in a prominent position.
But relying on word of mouth, the book became a huge hit.
Now the topic among men basically revolves around a woman, a stunning young woman who makes all married men crazy—Rosaline.
Among the people queuing, there was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes who was very eye-catching. After the lockdown was issued, foreigners appearing in Inazuma almost disappeared.
Soon, he came in front of editor Kuroda while waiting in the queue.
"Master Thomas, are you here to buy light novels for the Kamisato family again?"
"Yes, buying light novels for the master's entertainment is also one of the duties of the housekeeper. Bring me one of the most popular light novels currently being released."
"Okay." Kuroda didn't ask him which book he wanted, and directly handed him a novel wrapped in white paper.
Thomas looked down slightly, with an admiring expression, "Yaedou is really thoughtful, and even specially wrapped the novel so well."
"Of course! You can always trust Yaedo's professionalism!" Kuroda raised his eyebrows, looking very proud. Only Yaedo can take care of customers' privacy.
This is called professionalism!
Thomas, holding the light novel, walked briskly towards Kamisato's house. He wanted to put the novel on the bookshelf in Kamisato Ayaka's house.
In her spare time, sitting under the eaves, holding a cup of tea and reading a light novel is one of the few hobbies of Miss Kamisato Ayaka.
I believe that such a popular light novel should make her feel very happy.
.......
"The boundless horizon is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the endless green hills. ..."
In front of a simple wooden house in the northwest suburbs of Inazuma Castle, Ueno Chiki was happily humming songs from his previous life while sowing seeds of various vegetables.
In order to prevent the newly planted vegetables from being eaten and destroyed by various animals, he found a bunch of short wooden sticks and made a simple fence.
Although his body was very tired, his mood was very relaxed and peaceful. He threw all the worries and troubles in life behind him, and the whole world became peaceful.
At this time, a handsome and elegant young warrior in red walked to Ueno Chiki's house, with a white cat following closely behind him.
"Chiki, long time no see." He greeted Chiki Ueno who was working hard in a friendly manner.
Hearing the voice, Ueno Chiki immediately turned around and stood up, "Youren, why are you here?"
The young red-clad samurai in front of him was one of the few friends that Ueno Chiki had.
"I came here to ask you a favor."
"Oh, please for me?"
Youren pointed at the white cat and said, "I'm going to do something very important and I may never come back, so please take good care of this little guy in the future."
The little white cat seemed to understand what he said, and grabbed his trouser legs tightly with its claws, showing its determination.
Ueno Chiki was about to agree when he suddenly remembered the main storyline of Inazuma. Could it be that the Ujin in front of him was the friend of Kaedehara Manyo who died in the duel in front of the emperor?
"Uruhito, tell me the truth, are you going to participate in the duel with Kujo Sara?"
"Ah, you know all this?" Youren was a little surprised. He didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. What was decided this morning was passed to Ueno Chiki in the afternoon. "Yes, tomorrow I will fight a decisive battle with the general of the shogunate army, Kujo Sara, in front of the castle tower."
Ueno Chiki felt very depressed and wanted to persuade Yu Ren to give up the duel in front of the emperor to avoid his inevitable death.
But Uehito's death is the beginning of the entire Inazuma plot. More importantly, Kaedehara Manye was able to block General Raiden's sword with the help of his God's Eye.
"Youren, please do not participate in such a duel in front of the emperor where you will surely die."
Although kind-hearted, Chiki Ueno couldn't bear to see the passionate and gentle young man die.
However, Youren just sighed softly, his face looking very calm and composed.
"Qian Shu, thank you for your kindness. I also understand that this is a duel to the death, but I have my reasons for going.
Since the release of the Seclusion Order and the Hunting Order, the whole country has been like a pool of stagnant water. The Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo harshly exploited the common people. The nobles were extravagant and greedy, and the samurai betrayed morality and had no sense of shame.
If this continues, our country will be completely destroyed.
And my death will wake up more people!"
Ueno Chiki fell into deep silence. For a moment, he didn't know how to persuade this samurai who was risking his life for his ideals.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
After a long time, he finally spoke, "Haha, Youren, you are the dumbest and most ignorant idiot in the world."
You Ren had an angry look on his face. If someone else had said this, he would have picked up a sword and argued with the other person.
"Qian Shu, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? From you, I only see the self-admiration of a hot-blooded fool.
who do you think You Are?
You are just an unknown and down-and-out warrior. You think you are showing the world what courage is, but in the eyes of the world, you are only stupidity and ignorance.
Isn't it possible that the unexpected blow is out of reach?
Is there a human in this world who can cut down the Wuxiang Blade?"
Youren bit his lip and remained silent. At this moment, he realized that he had acted too impulsively.
He ignored the fact that his status was too low and people were not even interested in knowing his name.
If I die so foolishly, I'm afraid no one will remember me except my friends.
"Qianshu, I was indeed impulsive in this matter. But now that things have come to this, I have staked my honor and determination as a samurai, and there is no chance to turn back. Moreover, the duel with the general of the Tenryo Bugyo Shogunate Army, Kujo Sara, has always been my expectation. There is no turning back on this matter."
Ueno Chiki looked at his determined face and knew that he could not be persuaded.
Do I really have to watch him die?
At this moment, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he said calmly: "Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any more. I promise to take good care of your white cat. Stay here with me tonight, I will go buy some wine, and we will not stop until we are drunk!"
"Okay! Then we won't stop until we're drunk!"
After hearing Youren's ready agreement, a faint smile appeared on Ueno Chiki's lips.
Chapter 11: Cancelled Duel Before the Emperor
The next morning, when it was still light, Ueno Chiki woke up. Looking at Youren, who was drunk but still sleeping, she said sorry to him in her heart.
He picked up the rope that had been prepared in advance and tied him up.
His white cat squatted beside him and nodded confidently to Chiki Ueno, as if to say, Sir, you can trust me to do the job.
Then, Ueno Chiki lifted up his tattered mat and found his Eye of Thunder.
He looked at it with some reluctance and put it in his arms.
Then, he straightened his clothes and walked towards the Inazuma city area without looking back.
The morning sun illuminated the earth, and the square in front of the solemn castle tower was shrouded in an unusual silence.
A highly anticipated duel before the emperor was about to be held here, and people gathered here from all directions, forming a colorful human wall. They stared at the central arena, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the rebellious warrior.
In the center of the square, General Raiden and Kujo Sara stood on the stage in a heroic manner. Their eyes were firm and cold, like two volcanoes about to erupt.
General Raiden was wearing a purple kimono with a gentian flower pattern on it and holding a naginella-shaped rice light in his hand, looking awe-inspiring and inviolable.
Kujo Sara was wearing a black tight vest and a samurai sword on his belt. He had a cold face and a pair of golden eyes that flashed with a firm belief in eternal justice.
After a long time, the agreed time finally arrived.
However, what General Raiden and Kujo Sara did not expect was that the person who came to the duel field was not the ignorant young warrior, but an ordinary civilian with a thin figure. He was wearing a somewhat worn blue casual suit and had a kind and humble smile on his face.
He bowed to General Raiden and Kujo Sara, then said in a clear voice: "General Raiden, Kujo Sara, I am Ueno Chiki, a friend of Ujin. I am sorry that he cannot come to this duel in front of the emperor because he drank too much yesterday and accidentally broke his leg."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of booing from the audience, and the crowd despised this cowardly behavior.
General Raiden and Kujo Sara both had angry looks on their faces. To them, the duel in front of the emperor was sacred and they could not treat it as a joke.
Ueno Chiki remained calm and continued, "In addition, Yu Ren also understood the eternal justice of the general and felt deep regret and annoyance. If it weren't for the broken leg, he would have come here in person to apologize to the two adults. In order to express his apology, Yu Ren took the initiative to ask me to hand over the Eye of God."
After saying this, he took out the Eye of the God of Thunder from his arms and held it up obediently.
Kujo Sara picked up the Eye of God, looked at it carefully, and confirmed that it was the real Eye of God of Thunder.
She turned around and said respectfully to General Lei Dian: "General, this is indeed a Thunder God's Eye. Since You Ren has already handed over the Thunder God's Eye and expressed his apology, I don't think we should pursue it further."
In the process of executing the Eye Hunting Order, too many Inazuma people had died at her hands, and she didn't want to commit any more needless killings.
In fact, deep down in her heart, she didn't quite agree with the Eye Hunting Order. The holder of the Eye of God was watched by the gods, so why should the Eye of God be taken back since it was issued by the gods?
However, realizing the eternal justice of the general was her lifelong wish, so she still resolutely carried out the Eye Hunting Order.
However, at this moment, something strange happened!
A gray figure suddenly jumped out, snatched the Eye of God from Kujo Sara's hand, and then fled the scene at lightning speed.
"Chase!" Kujo Sara reacted immediately and led people to chase.
General Raiden looked at Ueno Chiki coldly, then turned and left.
For a moment, he was the only one left in the huge duel arena.
At this moment, he was complaining wildly in his heart, Fengyuan Manye, can't you understand the situation before snatching the Eye of God?
