Chapter 63: Day 6 of Writing a Light Novel at Inazuma
Yae Shinko's plan has not yet been officially implemented. Helping Kong with special training to fight against the Thunder General is only the first step.
But the next thing needs to be discussed at the Narukami Taisha Shrine, because there is someone who also needs to visit the Narukami Taisha Shrine, and she is the most important part of Yaegamiko's plan.
The commander of the army under Tenryo Bugyo, Kujo Sara.
"Then I'll go back to Mulou Teahouse and wait for you."
Shui Qingli didn't intend to participate in their discussion of the next plan - he still had to write a manuscript.
I really shouldn't have agreed to the editor to submit the manuscript every three days. I only insisted twice, but he already couldn't help but want to complain.
"Mr. Thomas is waiting for your news in the Mulou Teahouse and is getting impatient. I will go back and talk to him first so that he can be at ease."
"Do you already know Thomas?"
Paimon looked back in surprise. She was curious about what Qingli had done during the time when she and Kong had not returned to Mingshen Island.
"Then there are Linghua and Xiaogong, have you seen them too?"
Shui Qingli nodded. He had specially gone to Xiao Palace.
"It's all thanks to Sora. As soon as I told them I knew you, everyone was very eager to help me, so I didn't get lost in Inazuma."
Otherwise, it would be difficult to get along in an unfamiliar place.
"Hey, of course. We have a lot of friends."
Paimon smiled happily, as if he was being praised.
"You can also go to Kaigi Island later. It's very beautiful there. Kong is the captain of Kaigi Island's [Swordfish Squadron 2]. Telling him his name will be very useful."
"I see. I'll go check it out if I get a chance."
Shui Qingli responded lightly, and then walked in the opposite direction from them, heading towards Inazuma City.
Back at the Mulou Teahouse, Thomas was still waiting for news.
"You're back? How was it? Did you see Sora? Did he see the rebels?"
When Thomas saw the figure coming in, his eyes lit up and he immediately came over.
Although the Mulou Teahouse was comfortable, the feeling of being locked in the teahouse without being able to go out was really terrible. He had no idea what was happening outside and could only wait for the occasional news from the end of the show. He felt very suffocated.
"Sora has joined the resistance side."
Shui Qingli knew Thomas's eagerness and did not deliberately keep him in suspense.
"He is now with the Yaeguchi of Narugami Taisha. The Yaeguchi seems to have plans against the Tenryo Bugyo. Sora should come to the Mokuro Teahouse to see you later."
"Don't worry, Thomas."
He looked at Thomas, who could no longer conceal his anxiety, and patiently comforted him.
"Why don't you send someone to Kamisato's house to get Miss Ayaka over so we can wait for Sora to come back together and chat to kill time."
Otherwise, he was afraid that he would see Thomas getting so anxious that he would walk around in circles in the tea room, which would be a bit dizzying.
"Oh, okay, I'll go right away."
Sure enough, after diverting Thomas' attention, he looked a little more relaxed, and hurried out to ask the staff of the Mulou Tea House to go to Kamisato's house to inform the young lady.
Kamizato-yashiki is the headquarters of the shrine bugyo, one of the Three Bugyo. Unlike the Tenryo Bugyo, whose headquarters is built next to the castle tower and serves the Shogun, the shrine bugyo is located closer to the Narugami Taisha Shrine.
The early morning sun was slightly warm. Kamisato Ayato was sitting in the study, processing official documents, slightly absent-minded.
Without Thomas to take care of the house and help him organize things recently, the documents in the study have become a lot messier, which makes him a little uncomfortable. It turns out that he really needs to let Thomas out as soon as possible.
"Brother, can I come in?"
Having said that, the relationship between Kamisato and his sister has always been very good, and Kamisato Ayato will not reject his sister.
"Come in, Linghua. Did Thomas send someone to look for you?"
There are not many things that can make Linghua come to him to ask questions, and Thomas's matter is one of them.
The girl with moon-white hair pushed open the door.
"Yes, Thomas sent a message saying that Sora has returned to Narukami Island and is now with Yaemiya Tsukasa. He will go to the Mokuroku Tea Room later."
"Brother, do you want to come along? You haven't seen Thomas for a long time."
After Kujo Sara returned with the Tenryo Bugyo, patrols in Inazuma Castle increased again and were even stricter than before. The Kamisato siblings also reduced the number of times they went to the Mokuro Teahouse.
The sudden and unexplained increase in patrols by the Tenryo Bugyo made Kamisato Ayato smell something unusual.
It seems that the Traveler has disrupted some of the Fatui's plans in Inazuma, causing damage to the interests of the two major vassals, otherwise they would not be so angry.
Next, it depends on whether Yae Miyaji’s plan can succeed.
"No, you and Thomas are enough. I am not suitable to show up."
Even if the two magistrates had any objections, his sister, as the "White Egret Princess" respected by the people, was just worried about Inazuma's people. Her reputation was the biggest umbrella of protection, but as the head of the family, it was not easy for him to come forward.
His current position is absolute neutrality.
"I understand, brother."
Kamisato Ayaka thought for a moment and understood what he meant. The girl smiled indifferently, like an elegant white chrysanthemum, holy and pure.
"Please feel free to leave it to us."
She will definitely help the Traveler abolish the Eye Hunting Order so that Thomas can return safely.
So, when Kong arrived at the Mulou Tea House, he saw his familiar friends already sitting in the tea house, smiling and waiting for his return.
If it weren't for the fact that he shouldn't know the plan of the Eightfold Son of God, Shui Qingli would even want to call Xiao Gong as well so that everyone could have fun together.
"It seems like a long time ago that I'm sitting here and talking to you like this, Sora."
Kamisato Ayaka greeted with a smile.
There were many Inazuma snacks on the table, such as tri-color dango, rice balls, and red cherry cakes, which can be bought at any time on the street.
Looking at the relaxing environment in front of him, Kong felt comforted.
He told his friends everything that happened after leaving Inazuma Castle, including Yae Shinko's plan and what they needed to do. Zaoyou stood outside the door drowsy and seized every opportunity to catch up on some sleep.
"So that's it..."
Kamisato Ayaka seemed to be thinking about something. She had already sensed something was wrong. Although the implementation of the Eye Hunting Order was an order from the Shogun, Tenryo Bugyo had been very active from the very beginning.
The rebels and the shogunate army had been fighting for a long time, and the battlefield was already in a stalemate, but the shogun had never asked about it.
"It seems that there was a problem from the beginning when Tenryo Bugyo submitted the [official memorial] to the general."
Cheating superiors and subordinates, blinded by greed... Perhaps his brother had expected the behavior of the current head of the Tenryo family, Kujo Takayuki.
"But the Tianling Fengxing is heavily guarded. Even with Zaoyou's help, it won't be an easy task."
Thomas said worriedly.
"If there is anything, it would be great if I could attract the guards' attention..."
Kamisato Ayaka's reaction was faster, she already had an idea.
It doesn't matter how old the trick is, as long as it works, just like fireworks don't care about new or old, at the moment of blooming, they are still brilliant and beautiful.
