Chapter 213: Gorou: We also have someone named Luo here! Chiyo: Where is he?

~6 min read 1,135 words

The only thing the two didn't know was that Lumine and Paimon, whom they were looking for, had already gone from Watatsumi Island to the Shogunate side in Tatarasuna to cause destruction.

The two sides had essentially performed a mirror operation.

Until several days passed, Mikoshi Chiyo, who called herself Luo Chiyo, and Asase Hibiki had initially gained the trust of the resistance army.

After all, at first, it was just caution, but now that they found the tasks assigned to them were completed very easily and simply, they would naturally be heavily recruited.

It was precisely when they were lacking talent; if they abandoned them because of constant suspicion, that would be the behavior of a fool.

Interestingly, as they were new soldiers, they intended to integrate, and very easily gained the trust and worship of many resistance soldiers.

Mainly because the two were too strong, but due to their temperament, ordinary people didn't dare to talk to them at all.

Only some retainers were pushed out to act as chat tools and intelligence gatherers.

During this period, Chiyo also directed a scene of a great battle between the Shogunate army and the resistance army.

She sent word to Kujou Sara, and the two armies fought in Tatarasuna.

She and Asase Hibiki shone brightly in this battle, for the first time ever killing back the Shogunate army, which had a numerical advantage. Even Kujou Sara was injured by Chiyo during the acting process.

Gorou, who witnessed this scene, was greatly encouraged.

For this reason, he directly promoted the two to be captains commanding an entire squad.

Resistance army front-line base!

"For the outstanding contributions made by the two, I hereby appoint Miss Chiyo and Miss Shrine Maiden as captains of the First Squad."

Gorou solemnly issued the appointment, while also apologizing: "I know the two have more ability than this, but higher appointments require the approval of Her Excellency Sangonomiya. After this matter is over, I will take the two to Watatsumi Island to meet Her Excellency Sangonomiya."

Chiyo and Asase Hibiki naturally didn't care and had no change in expression regarding this small First Squad captain position, but on the surface, they still had to act.

Clearly noticing that this General Gorou was beginning to trust the two gradually, Chiyo's eyes flickered, and she asked.

"I heard before that a blonde traveler joined the resistance army, disrupted that Raiden Shogun's Vision Hunt ceremony, and saved a companion for us. I don't know where this hero is. I am very happy and want to make friends."

Proposing a suitable reason, Chiyo stared at Gorou, finding that he really didn't suspect her, just scratched his head embarrassedly.

"That, as for the traveler, she has been sent by Her Excellency Sangonomiya to perform a secret mission. You might not see her for a short time. When she returns, I will introduce you."

"Tsk, what a disappointment."

Clicking her tongue unhappily, Chiyo herself was not patient enough and was prone to irritability. If it weren't for the news about Luo Li, she wouldn't have endured it until now.

Asase Hibiki was relatively quiet. Since the teacher had appeared, they would meet sooner or later.

She was also very anxious in her heart, but she could hide it well.

"There's nothing to be done about that. Now that the Vision Hunt Decree is rampant, we can only rise up and resist. Because the strength gap is huge, we can only survive with difficulty. In the future, we will have to rely on everyone."

Gorou smiled bitterly, not minding at all to speak of the resistance army's weakness; after all, it was a fact, and anyone with eyes could see it.

Chiyo could only force herself to endure and accept it.

It didn't seem good to always talk about these depressing topics. According to Her Excellency Sangonomiya's words, one should care more about the soldiers and grassroots officers.

So Gorou thought for a moment and took the initiative to bring up a topic: "Speaking of which, Miss Chiyo's surname is quite rare in Inazuma. It's more like a surname from Liyue."

The Oni girl said coldly: "I took my husband's surname."

"Miss Chiyo's husband is from Liyue? What a lucky person. I wonder where he is now?"

Even if he didn't care much about beauty, Gorou was genuinely envious of Chiyo's husband for being able to marry such a stunning beauty.

Chiyo remained unmoved: "He went missing in the war."

"I see, sorry."

Unintentionally mentioning someone's sad past, Gorou was a bit embarrassed.

Usually, when someone goes missing in war, the result is never good.

Although he knew it was a futile gesture, he still comforted her: "It's just a temporary separation. I believe Miss Chiyo will be able to reunite with her husband in the future."

"I have never doubted it."

"Ahahaha, that's true. Then I wish Miss Chiyo the best."

Smiling sheepishly and scratching his cheek, the next moment the emotional Gorou said something that made her heart skip a beat: "Right, some time ago, someone named Luo also came to Watatsumi Island. It seems the resistance army and the surname Luo have quite a connection."

Almost instantly, Chiyo stared at him, her breathing rapid as she pursued: "What is his name?"

"Uh, I really didn't remember the name, only that his surname is Luo, and he is Her Excellency Sangonomiya's father."

"Where is he? I want to see him!"

At this moment, Chiyo had long forgotten about the traveler's whereabouts.

The whereabouts of the main person seemed to have appeared; who cared about the whereabouts of a stranger?

Not only was Chiyo excited, but even Asase Hibiki, who had been quiet, stared at him tightly.

Gorou was a bit strange. Chiyo was one thing; perhaps she associated it with her husband and held a glimmer of hope to verify.

After all, that person had also appeared not long ago, and the timeline matched somewhat.

What was going on with the shrine maiden? Could there be some family relationship?

Muttering, Gorou didn't think Her Excellency Sangonomiya's father was Miss Chiyo's husband.

However, since he brought it up and stirred up the other party's desire to verify, he naturally had to be responsible.

"Sorry, that person has already entered our ancestral land, Enkanomiya. It involves secrets that cannot be told. Perhaps it will be a while before he returns."

By common sense, even this shouldn't have been said by Gorou, but considering the other party might be widowed, he revealed a little out of consideration for her feelings.

Chiyo's eyes kept flickering. At this moment, she really wanted to capture the resistance general in front of her and attack Watatsumi Island.

Intuition told her that the person named Luo was most likely the person she was looking for.
