Chapter 147

Grand Narukami Shrine.

Since Inazuma closed its borders, this was probably the only place in all of Inazuma with beautiful scenery.

Pink cherry blossoms danced in the wind, falling gracefully onto the land of Inazuma.

The thunder clouds in the sky seemed to have deliberately forgotten this place, or perhaps, this was a trace of tenderness from the Raiden Shogun for an old friend.

There were still some shrine maidens cleaning in the shrine, not like the Inazuman citizens in other places who were like walking corpses without vitality.

These shrine maidens looked like they were living and working in peace and contentment.

This comfortable atmosphere didn't make Kujou Sara pay much attention; she didn't have time to care about these things.

The leading shrine maiden stopped at the corridor in the backyard and bowed slightly to Kujou Sara.

"Lady Yae Miko is waiting for you inside, General Kujou, please."

Kujou Sara passed the shrine maiden silently and entered the backyard.

What came into view first was the huge, dense Sacred Sakura tree that blocked the sky and sun with its cherry blossoms.

It is rumored that this is the sacred tree that the Raiden Shogun personally planted to save Inazuma from the disaster of dark monsters.

Later, it was personally taken care of by the Shogun's close friend, Yae Miko.

It's just that as she looked at it, the tree eventually grew into the shape of a fox.

A certain Guuji lady also argued righteously that this was a Liyue saying: "Near vermilion, one gets stained red."

Kujou Sara withdrew her gaze and looked at the pink-haired fox who was holding huge scissors and gesturing under the tree.

Near vermilion, one gets stained red?

Whoever believes this saying is a fool.

Kujou Sara didn't care much; anyway, this was Yae Miko's territory, and even the Raiden Shogun didn't care, so she didn't need to worry.

"Lady Yae Miko."

Seeing that Yae Miko had no intention of paying attention to her, Kujou Sara called out to her in a deep voice.

Yae Miko turned her head, looked at Kujou Sara with feigned surprise, and hurriedly hid the scissors in a flustered manner.

"General Kujou, you're here, sit down quickly."

Kujou Sara didn't care about Miko's performance.

She knew Miko very well; this was an extreme prankster.

Every word she said and every thing she did was to observe the interesting behavior of others.

"Does Lady Yae Miko have any news? If you are just taking me for a joke, then please forgive me for not accompanying you; there are many things in the army that need to be dealt with."

Hearing this, Miko curled her lips with a lack of interest and knelt on the ground with one hand supporting her chin.

The lazy and fox-like aura was fully revealed.

"General Kujou is still as boring as before; interacting with someone like General Kujou is truly exhausting."

Kujou Sara didn't answer, just looked at Miko quietly.

"Let me guess, you received a reply from Liyue, and that Tianshu Star directly perfunctorily dealt with you?"

"You are very worried and angry, preparing to go to your Shogun to complain, but then you thought that your Shogun is focused on eternity and wouldn't care about this at all."

"Maybe, she would even criticize you."

"Right?"

Kujou Sara said calmly:

"So you asked me to come here just to show off your intelligence agency? If I may speak frankly, with such an intelligence agency, it would be better to hand it over to the Shogunate to investigate the movements of the resistance army."

"What intelligence agency, I don't understand that."

Miko smiled and rejected Kujou Sara.

"This is just a very simple deduction."

Kujou Sara looked up at the sky and stood up, saying:

"If you just wanted to waste my time, you succeeded, but next time, Lady Yae Miko should find someone else to have fun with; I don't have time."

After saying that, Kujou Sara was about to leave.

Miko was drinking tea leisurely, looking completely unhurried.

By the time Kujou Sara reached the entrance of the corridor, Miko suddenly said faintly:

"I wonder if General Kujou has heard that the Way of Cultivation has been spreading in Liyue recently?"

Kujou Sara paused, and after a moment, said in a deep voice:

"Inazuma has closed its borders, how would I know the stories of Liyue's folk, and besides, does this have any connection to that day's thunder?"

"Of course."

Miko looked at Kujou Sara with a smile.

"Didn't your reply letter say it? The Geo Archon is undergoing tribulation."

"Ridiculous!"

Kujou Sara snorted.

"The Geo Archon has existed for over six thousand years, and I have never heard of him having any tribulation; Lady Yae Miko should read fewer useless novels in her spare time."

"Is that so? What a pity, it seems General Kujou really doesn't care about the cultivation matters in Liyue."

Miko groomed her fur with a lack of interest, but the smile in her eyes was locked directly on Kujou Sara's back.

"I thought this news from my good sister Ganyu would make General Kujou curious."

Kujou Sara was stunned for a moment and turned around suddenly.

"Ganyu, that half-adeptus who has been the secretary of the Liyue Qixing for a thousand years?"

"Didn't General Kujou say she wasn't interested in my news?"

Miko looked at Kujou Sara with a smile and teased her.

Kujou Sara was a little impatient.

"If Lady Yae Miko has an opinion on my attitude just now, I apologize."

"But the thunder in Liyue that day truly affected Inazuma, and I must know what happened."

Seeing that Miko still had no intention of letting go, just looking at her with a light smile, Kujou Sara gritted her teeth.

"What does Lady Yae Miko need me to do? Within my power, I can try to satisfy you, but it must never involve the Shogun."

This time, Miko finally let go.

"Ha! How loyal, General Kujou, I'm moved."

After saying that, Miko straightened her expression slightly and said softly:

"Since General Kujou has spoken, it would be somewhat inappropriate if I didn't accept General Kujou's favor."

"How about this? I have stayed at the Grand Narukami Shrine for too long, and I want to go out for some fresh air."

"Why don't you use your warships that transport important supplies to give me a ride, General Kujou?"

Kujou Sara's expression changed instantly, and she said in a deep voice:

"You want to leave Inazuma!"

"Just going out for a walk."

Miko waved her hand with a smile, looking nonchalant.

"Sister Ganyu and I have a very good relationship; I'll go to Liyue to relax, and maybe I can hear some little stories from Sister Ganyu."

"General Kujou, you wouldn't want to watch the movements in Liyue and have Inazuma know nothing, only to be dragged into it in the end, right?"

"That day's thunder was truly terrifying, even more powerful than your Shogun, right?"

"What if it really is the Geo Archon undergoing tribulation? Will our Shogun undergo tribulation too?"

"What do you think, General Kujou?"

Kujou Sara was silent.

She had the heart to refute Miko, but the rhythm was firmly controlled by her.

Kujou Sara's heart was in chaos, and she couldn't find a breakthrough point at all.

Closing her eyes to think, Miko was not in a hurry at all.

Kujou Sara would definitely agree.

She was loyal to the Raiden Shogun and also loyal to Inazuma.

That day's event and today's reply letter would probably keep Kujou Sara awake for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Kujou Sara gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice:

"Fine, but we are only responsible for sending you out of the thunderstorm!"
