Chapter 251: The double-agent Yae Miko who jumps left and right!

~7 min read 1,244 words

Outside the Sangonomiya!

Yae Miko, who had successfully shown off in front of Kokomi and also obtained Luo Li's "softening" condition, was in an exceptionally good mood.

Hmph, although she had always been bullied in the past, it could be considered that she had finally taken revenge.

However... thinking of the time when Dianxia gently called her "good daughter" as if it came from his heart, a strange feeling would surge in Miko's heart.

Gently biting her finger, recalling the scene at that time, the fox girl couldn't help but blush again.

"Oh my, it seems I've become a bit strange."

Knowing that she was not right, Yae Miko didn't care, but instead enjoyed that feeling quite a bit.

"I will come back again."

Saying this to no one in particular, Miko turned into an arc of light and disappeared under the respectful send-off of many shrine maidens and Sangonomiya soldiers, leaving only a few cherry blossoms scattered.

Until she left Watatsumi Island, Yae Miko first returned to the Grand Narukami Shrine and asked the shrine maidens as usual if any accidents had occurred during her absence.

Immediately after, she received a negative answer.

Feeling much more at ease, Miko immediately asked for information about the Traveler's whereabouts.

"That Traveler seems to be busy helping to repair the Twelve Divine Generals Array once laid down by Luo Li-dianxia on Narukami Island."

21

The shrine maiden answered uncertainly.

Although she was the one who gave the task to the other party, it was unknown whether the other party was slacking off.

"The Twelve Divine Generals Array?!"

Yae Miko understood. This thing had lasted for five hundred years, and although it was generally still running, some places had problems.

For example, the four main directions of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise were as stable as Mount Tai, but the other eight directions had more or less appeared flaws due to the erosion of time.

As the Grand Narukami Shrine, they were very concerned about the array protecting the Grand Narukami Shrine, so naturally, they called for capable people to go and solve it as soon as possible.

After all, even if it was an array laid down by Luo Li, it couldn't last forever without anyone presiding over the repairs for so many years.

Just as fields need to be plowed often, otherwise they will be full of weeds sooner or later, and they will also dry up without water to nourish them.

"What about the Shogun-sama's side?"

"Not very clear, only heard that the Shogun-sama went out for a trip."

"Went out for a trip?"

This news surprised Miko very much. That shut-in would actually take the initiative to go out, which was simply shocking.

"Did you figure out the reason?"

"Don't know."

"Okay, I know, you can go down first."

Listening to the subordinate shrine maiden report the matter, Yae Miko fell into deep thought.

She always felt that something was wrong.

However, the problem was not big; she would understand after she went to the Tenshukaku.

That guy wouldn't hide it from her.

And promising Luo Li's request, naturally, she had to do some real things. Yae Miko thought so, her heart full of confidence.

Of course, she didn't know that this confidence would soon be crushed.

Inazuma City! Tenshukaku!

Stepping here again, Miko's mood remained happy, thinking about how to figure out Raiden Ei's thoughts later.

It would be best to inadvertently obtain the other party's performance if she knew Luo Li's whereabouts and met him.

She, Yae Miko, was a person who kept her word; at least when facing Luo Li, she wouldn't go back on her word, no matter what, she would make the other party fulfill the conditions she had agreed to.

Holding such a firm belief, Miko took out the token that allowed her to enter the Tenshukaku without reporting for the Ouzume-shu to check routinely, and then entered it under their respectful send-off.

"Eh, not in the main hall?"

Going straight to the main pavilion where they met daily, she didn't find anyone. Miko was wondering when she suddenly heard laughter coming from the backyard.

It was truly surprising that laughter could come from the Tenshukaku at such a time.

She was surprised and followed the sound into the courtyard.

The scene that appeared next made Yae Miko freeze.

Raiden Ei, Kitsune Saiguu... they were all characters she was very familiar with.

But the person in the middle who looked exactly like Raiden Ei made her unable to hold it.

"That is... the first Shogun-sama?!"

Raiden Makoto?!

She had seen the other party when she was a child, used as a fox fur to warm her hands and feet, but her memory was not very clear, only remembering that the other party seemed to like her quite a bit.

But... how could the first Shogun-sama appear here?

According to the Traveler's statement, wasn't the other party in Liyue? Now she appeared in the Inazuma Tenshukaku.

The subordinate shrine maiden said before that the Shogun-sama had gone out for a trip... could it be?!

Thinking of a certain answer, Yae Miko instantly understood the cause and effect.

The Traveler probably exposed something when meeting Raiden Ei, so that she met Raiden Makoto.

"Eh, is this little Yae? Come here and let me see."

While she discovered the trio, Raiden Makoto also caught a glimpse of Miko and waved to her in surprise.

With a posture completely different from facing Luo Li, Miko came to the three people very obediently.

"The little fox who liked to shrink in my sleeves has also grown up."

Giving up talking and laughing with Kitsune Saiguu and Raiden Ei, Raiden Makoto seriously examined the fox girl in front of her.

"Already grown into such a beautiful woman, it really makes people can't help but sigh at the change of time."

Holding Miko's hand and sitting beside her, Raiden Makoto reached out and gently stroked her hair and cheeks.

Yae Miko didn't resist at all during this time, and was exceptionally docile, letting her be handled.

In her view, Raiden Makoto and Kitsune Saiguu both belonged to the older generation, and basically couldn't resist the other party's behavior and rhetoric.

But Raiden Ei, who was clearly older than her, was regarded as a friend of the same generation.

This point was really hard to explain.

Kitsune Saiguu smiled: "Yes, the little thing has grown up, has her own secrets, and won't report to me wherever she goes."

The tone of words within words made Yae Miko couldn't help but look at the Matriarch, but found that she had a smile on her face.

The little fox felt a bit uneasy in her heart, always feeling that she had been seen through.

"Where, if the Matriarch wants to know, I naturally won't hide it."

"Is that so? Then where did you go just now?"

Facing the different teasing gazes of the three, Yae Miko's heart turned rapidly, and she vaguely understood something.

Since Raiden Makoto had returned, it meant that Luo Li was almost completely exposed. Helping him at this time was no different from joining the Nationalist Army in '49.

So she said with a flash of inspiration: "Matriarch, two Dianxia, I just went to Watatsumi Island."

Luo Li-dianxia, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to help you, but facing this situation, even she has no way.
