Chapter 79

This was not Gu Chen’s working time, and he displayed a serious expression different from his usual demeanor.

"Lord General, you look much more approachable today than usual," Sasa Yuri said with a light laugh.

"What am I like usually?" Gu Chen asked with a smile.

"How should I put it..."

Sasa Yuri pondered for a few seconds, then said: "It’s as if you are the Emperor ruling the entire empire, naturally dignified without anger, making people not even dare to breathe loudly when facing you. Often, with just one"

look, even a battle-hardened general like me feels immense pressure. But today, you are like a noble and elegant aristocrat, with impeccable etiquette and approachability."

After hearing this, Gu Chen laughed, "Is that so?"

"You know me, I can't tell lies," Sasa Yuri grinned.

Gu Chen nodded with a smile.

"Lord General, a toast to you."

Sasa Yuri raised his wine cup with a look of reverence on his face.

"Regent General, I toast to you as well!"

Mikoshi Chiyo, who had been by Raiden Ei's side for many years, appeared as a young girl, but because she was of the Oni race, her personality was very bold in front of acquaintances.

"I’ve figured it out; you all want to take this opportunity to get me drunk?"

Gu Chen’s gaze swept over the familiar faces, and after a wry smile, he waved his hand: "Then I shall satisfy you!"

"General’s stature!!"

"No wonder you are Lord General, come, come, fill it up, fill it up!"

They were drinking happily on this side.

On the other side, Raiden Makoto was holding a pink fox in her arms, and Kitsune Saiguu stood to the side with a cunning smile on her face. She glanced at the worried-looking Raiden Makoto and teased:

"What, are you afraid he’ll get drunk?"

"I, I..."

Raiden Makoto’s pretty face flushed red, and she couldn't speak. She exerted a bit more force with her hands, and the pink fox in her arms squeaked in dissatisfaction.

The two ignored the little fox, and Kitsune Saiguu said pointedly: "I personally went to talk to each of them; tonight is all paved for you. You must seize the opportunity"

oh~"

"What?"

Raiden Makoto was stunned for a moment, then her face turned bright red, and she whispered reproachfully: "You cunning Grand Narukami Shrine Maiden."

"Isn't it all to help you?"

Kitsune Saiguu whispered like a devil, enticing her: "I have arranged everything for you, ensuring no one can disturb you. Are you tempted? Do you want to strike like thunder and take him down"

directly? This is the best opportunity~"

Raiden Makoto listened, feeling dizzy, and said nothing.

[Nilou]: With a strategist like Kitsune Saiguu, why worry about not succeeding, Miss Makoto!

(Excited)

[Collei]: The Makoto stock is skyrocketing!! (Collei. Longing)

[Paimon]: Buying, buying!!

[Jean]: This seems better than light novels... (Jean. Pondering)

[Yae Miko]: Does no one care about the Shrine Maiden who was squeezed hard? It looks painful just watching! (Heartbroken)

[Kamisato Ayaka]: Heartbroken for the Shrine Maiden, hug the Shrine Maiden. (Sangonomiya Kokomi. Praying)

[Yae Miko]: The little girl from the Kamisato clan is the most well-behaved.

[Lumine]: I suddenly feel a sense of crisis again; this Kitsune Saiguu is too despicable. (Paimon. Shocked)

[Kaeya]: Are you afraid that Kitsune Saiguu will scheme for Miss Makoto to finish you off and take your place? (Funny)

[Venti]: I can't wait for this day, hurry up and release this, I can't sleep at night! (Hurry hurry hurry)

[Furina]: You guys are really terrible, only knowing how to watch Lumine’s jokes, unlike me, who only feels heartbroken for Gu Chen~ (Hu Tao. Smirking)

[Lumine]: ?

[Gu Chen]: What’s going on? (Sucrose. Confused)

[Furina]: You don't think you can stay out of it once your harem starts fighting, do you? No way, no way? (Funny)

[Gu Chen]: Say no more, I’m already trembling. (Trembling)

It would have been better if Furina hadn't said anything; once she did, a sense of crisis immediately enveloped Gu Chen’s heart.

Just thinking about it, it would be too tragic.

"Are you already starting to worry about your backyard catching fire?"

Lumine walked over slowly with a faint smile on her face.

But this smile made Gu Chen’s scalp tingle; Lumine was coming with ill intent.

"Are you already thinking about holding me while also holding Makoto?"

Lumine leaned closer and closer, and Gu Chen gasped; he had already decided whose bed to crash in tonight.

"You really like Makoto’s type, don't you?"

"Don't worry, you’ll be able to experience it in a while!"

Gu Chen was stunned upon hearing this.

Good heavens, was this Lumine’s goal?

"Wait for it, I’m going to prepare." Lumine turned and left.

Gu Chen fell into deep thought.

It seems that because of the video from his past life, Lumine not only had a sense of crisis, but she was also working hard to improve her competitiveness.

Is this a competition?

It seems to be getting a bit exciting!

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

Even the Youkai, who possessed great energy, were somewhat exhausted after the revelry.

Looking at Gu Chen, who had been drunk to the point of being almost unconscious, Raiden Makoto walked over, feeling both heartbroken and expectant.

"I’ll take him back first."

Raiden Makoto, with a flushed face, left this sentence and supported Gu Chen as she walked out of the Grand Shrine.

The few who were still somewhat sober burst into laughter.

Hearing the laughter coming from behind, Raiden Makoto felt her cheeks burning even more.

Just as she supported Gu Chen out of the Grand Narukami Shrine, Gu Chen, who had been muddled a moment ago, became full of spirit the next.

A light breeze swept over his body, and the mixed scent of alcohol and leftover food dissipated with the wind.

After stretching out his hands to shake his collar, Gu Chen glanced at the sky and said: "Working time is almost here."

"You..."

Raiden Makoto looked at Gu Chen in astonishment, and it was a long while before she asked sullenly: "You weren't drunk?"

"Hmm?"

Gu Chen raised an eyebrow, then shook his head: "It was only to that extent. They are all meritorious officials of Inazuma, and they are under your and my command. It’s not easy to have such an opportunity, so it’s good to let them be happy."

Raiden Makoto wanted to say something but stopped, pursing her lips and not speaking, feeling somewhat frustrated.

Gu Chen, wondering why Raiden Makoto hadn't spoken, turned his head to look and was stunned to see the blush on her face hadn't completely faded, and she seemed somewhat listless.

"What made you so frustrated?" Gu Chen asked, puzzled.

"Ah... that little fox is gone!"

Raiden Makoto lowered her head and thought for a moment before nodding: "Such a cute fox, it disappeared after one moment of negligence!"

"Wait, where are you going?"

Seeing Gu Chen turn back toward the Grand Shrine, Raiden Makoto reached out to pull him and asked.

"Of course, to find the little fox; I can't let my deity be disappointed all day, can I?" Gu Chen laughed.

"Alright, alright, I’ll go find Kitsune Saiguu first to ask if she’s seen it; you pay more attention to some corners of the Grand Shrine!" Raiden Makoto said.

"Good." Gu Chen nodded.

[Kirara]: I saw it! Miss Makoto handed Lady Miko to Senior Kitsune Saiguu earlier!! (Kirara. Asking for a good review meow)

[Collei]: I just saw Miss Makoto look flustered for a moment, and Gu Chen noticed it too, but didn't point it out; this might be love! (Nodding)

[Paimon]: Since becoming the Regent General in this life, Gu Chen seems to have become a ruthless emperor, focused entirely on work and striving to build Inazuma, but many details between him and Makoto show that this guy isn't as cold as he looks on the surface!

[Paimon]: Ever since Gu Chen became the Regent General in this life, he seems to have turned into a heartless emperor, focused entirely on his work and striving to build Inazuma. But many details between him and Miss Ei
