Chapter 211: Sangonomiya Kokomi: Should I bear a child for Father?

"Oh, right, also, if you have free time, help Kokomi investigate the origin of those supplies."

Luo Li's follow-up words left Lumine speechless.

So that was just the first request?

Luo Li had a rough idea of the origin of those supplies.

The Fatui were definitely involved. Although Rosalyne had been persuaded by him and had already returned to Snezhnaya to explain the situation to the Tsaritsa, stating that she was withdrawing from the Fatui from then on.

But there were still traces of Fatui activity in Inazuma.

This could be seen from the Kanjou Commission on Ritou, as well as the unusual movements of the Tenryou Commission.

And besides the Fatui, it was possible the Yashiro Commission had joined in as well.

Recalling that in the original timeline, the resistance army was allowed to reach the Tenshukaku, it was with the tacit approval of the head of the Kamisato Clan, Kamisato Ayato.

After all that, the three commissions were all double agents.

My Ei-bao really has it hard.

Completely unaware that the reason was purely because of himself, Luo Li sighed and issued the third task to Lumine.

Lumine: "???"

From the beginning to now, she had been filled with question marks for only a short minute.

What does this mean? Treating me like an ox, are you?!

Even honest people will eventually throw in the towel!

Lumine had originally wanted to firmly state that she had limits and that they were partners, not superior and subordinate.

But then she surrendered, because Luo Li gave too much.

"When things are over, I will explain everything about me and Inazuma to you, and I will help you find traces of Aether."

Luo Li said unhurriedly: "Additionally, I can bestow upon you some precious treasures that will be useful in the future. Believe me, these treasures will definitely make your journey much easier."

These words of his directly sent Lumine into a daze.

Even Paimon stammered: "That... that's too good, right?"

Just the promise to help find Aether was enough to fill Lumine with motivation.

After all, compared to those unreliable Knights of Favonius captains and Liyue the Liyue Qixing, Luo Li's ability was undoubtedly much stronger.

The most surprising thing to Lumine was: "You know my brother?"

Being able to say the name Aether meant certain things.

"Well, who knows?"

His mysterious smile made Lumine's teeth itch with hatred. This guy knew everything, but he just wouldn't tell her.

Angry. PG!

Sooner or later, I'll kill all you riddle-makers and scatter your ashes!

She couldn't talk back, and she couldn't win in a fight; the blonde girl felt a bit depressed.

She secretly cursed that he would eventually be killed by a blade.

"Any other orders?"

The girl with a low voice glared at him, somewhat resigned. Since she had already been saddled with so many things, one or two more didn't matter.

"No, I wish you all the best."

Watching Lumine, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, flee the Sangonomiya Shrine like she was avoiding a plague god, Paimon chased after her, calling for her to slow down and wait.

Luo Li couldn't help but find it funny.

As the great hall became quiet again, Kokomi kept the doubts that had sprouted not long ago in her heart and asked.

"Is Father trying to resolve the many grievances between our Watatsumi people and the Narukami people in one fell swoop?"

"Naturally. Don't tell me you want to oppose me in the future?"

"Hee hee, how would your daughter dare? It is Father who should not bully your daughter and the Watatsumi people in the future."

The watery eyes mixed with anticipation and coquetry made it impossible for Luo Li to refuse. Kokomi seemed to know how to deal with him.

Every time she put on the posture of a pitiful little daughter, nuzzling against him and willfully expressing her stubborn attitude.

The key was that Luo Li really fell for this. Sometimes obedient, sometimes willful—precisely because of this, she constantly tested his tolerance, and Kokomi was like a fish in water.

Recently, this girl had become more and more daring, always performing intimate acts that only Raiden Zhen, Rosalyne, and Mitsuyo would do.

This made Luo Li want to spank her bottom hard every time.

In Kokomi's words, the former people of Enkanomiya didn't seem to be particularly repulsed by this, and besides, they weren't biologically related anyway.

Even privately, this girl was brewing an even bolder plan. As the only legitimate bloodline successor of Watatsumi Island, although she was not of mortal flesh and could rule Watatsumi Island for a long time.

But if a person has no immediate worries, they must have long-term concerns.

Kokomi did not know what the future held.

Therefore, leaving behind a bloodline capable of continuing Watatsumi Island seemed like a fairly reliable plan.

Of course, if this bloodline possessed half of the most noble person in Inazuma, it would be a checkmate.

No matter what happened to Watatsumi Island in the future, there would be no need to worry about being ostracized or annexed.

Aside from genuinely admiring her father, Kokomi was also a smart person, although she had only just realized it now.

According to what Lumine and Paimon said just now, Luo Li had a very close relationship with the first Raiden Shogun, and was even the lover she had guessed.

Being able to maintain such a relationship with the first Raiden Shogun, only one person came to her mind.

Legend had it that Inazuma once had two noble highnesses who ruled Narukami Island together in the ancient era, only for them to suddenly disappear one day, replaced by the second Raiden Shogun.

This information was buried in the secret records of the Sangonomiya Shrine, and as the Divine Priestess, she had naturally browsed it, but had never taken it to heart before.

Now it seemed the legend was true.

And one of those two protagonists was perhaps the one before her.

Luo Li considered how to best get Ei to accept his and Zhen's deception, as well as the historical legacy issues between Watatsumi Island and Narukami Island.

He was completely unaware that the obedient girl in his arms was planning how to make him become "Akitsuki Kouzou."

The two were close, yet each had their own ulterior motives.

This situation continued until a shrine maiden came to pay a visit.

Even with an outsider present, Kokomi did not move away from Father's side, completely showing a lack of paternal love.

Fortunately, everyone had barely accepted it these days and pretended not to see it.

"Tsuyuko, is something the matter?"

The shrine maiden who came to visit was Tsuyuko. Upon seeing the two, she immediately reported with a grave expression.

"Reporting to Her Excellency Sangonomiya, according to the reports from those managing the land, the 'Orobashi's corruption' of Watatsumi Island has started again."

"Orobashi's corruption..."

Unable to care about the plan she had just launched against her father, Kokomi's face changed slightly, and she frowned: "Are you sure there is no mistake?"

"Absolutely no mistake."

"This is troublesome."

Kokomi muttered in a low voice, feeling a headache.

At this moment, they were at war with the Shogunate army, and their own base was having major problems; it was truly pouring rain on top of a leaking roof.
