Chapter 257: Arataki Itto! The furious Mikoshi Chiyo!

Although the furnishings were similar, the shops around the street were completely different from five hundred years ago.

Moving along the main street of Hanamizaka.

Passing the Amenoma clan's smithy, it was a lively fireworks shop.

The three characters "Naganohara" written on it were very conspicuous.

"The shop that bloomed artificial meteors at night back then hasn't broken its inheritance either. Not bad."

Luo Li still remembered that when Raiden Makoto was in power, the Naganohara family began to specialize in fireworks, and even during lively festivals, they would let them be responsible for managing the fireworks.

Mikoshi Chiyo glanced at the fireworks shop and nodded: "I have also heard of this shop. The current owner seems to be named Yoimiya, who once set off the biggest fireworks for the Shogun at a large festival, and has been famous in Inazuma ever since, known as the Queen of the Summer Festival."

"Yoimiya..."

This name was also quite nostalgic; she could be considered a girl he liked in his previous life.

She had a lively personality, was helpful, and could play with children.

If Inazuma had a kindergarten, Yoimiya would definitely be the best choice for a kindergarten principal.

Unfortunately, perhaps she was out delivering goods, as Yoimiya was not seen at the fireworks shop.

The two chatted about the changes in Inazuma while moving forward.

Because Mikoshi Chiyo had been a shut-in for too long, she didn't know much about Inazuma, and the two were actually able to chat very congenially for a while.

Along the way, they passed the Kiminami Restaurant, the Detective Agency, and then the light novel house called Yae Publishing House.

Because he had seen a bookstore in Liyue, Luo Li was not surprised by this; besides, Yae Miko only became interested in novels because of his influence, thereby taking the opportunity to found Yae Publishing House.

It seemed there were some stories behind it; Miko had a falling out with the Tenryou Commission, which is why she did this.

Standing outside Yae Publishing House, Luo Li looked around casually for a moment and could hear the shopkeeper shouting.

"New books from Yae Publishing House! The latest work from the hottest author! Only the last batch left!"

"First come, first served! This guest, would you like to buy one?"

"This is a work that even Editor-in-Chief Yae has praised!"

Seeing the shopkeeper editor even bringing out Yae Miko's name, many passersby were immediately interested and rushed up.

Luo Li took a look; the best-selling one was "A Legend of Sword," and its author was the second young master of the Feiyun Commerce Guild in Liyue, Xingqiu.

Its illustrator was the chief alchemist of Mondstadt, Albedo, whom he still hadn't been able to meet.

Although this thing wasn't popular in Liyue, it was unexpectedly sought after in Inazuma.

Not very interested in light novels, Luo Li and Mikoshi Chiyo went up the stone steps.

On the way, they unexpectedly heard a quite familiar and hearty shout.

"You brats, just you wait! When I find the new Great General, I will cut you all down!"

The two looked up and saw a young man with silver-white hair, shirtless, with a sturdy build, wearing purple and white shimenawa ropes on his shoulders, and pointed arm guards on both hands.

His back was to the two, but the striking red oni horns on his head made his identity recognizable at a glance.

Oni race!

And it was the Red Oni clan!

The young man was squatting on the ground without any dignity, arguing with a few children in frustration.

"Hmph, my gladiator's body was feeling unwell today, so I lost by a little. Let's fight again tomorrow!"

He was holding an Onikabuto in his hand, which was clearly smaller than the one the little boy in front of him had; it seemed he had just lost the beetle fight.

"Hahaha, I will win next time too!" the little boy said confidently.

Several little friends next to him were also cheering him on.

"Damn it! The one who wins next time will definitely be me!"

"Heehee, bragging, Brother Itto has already lost three times in a row!"

"That... that was an accident! You just wait!"

Saying this with a guilty conscience, the young man made a fierce threat and intended to stand up, but the next moment he heard a cold and stern reprimand from the side.

"What a shameful thing, actually playing with children, and losing at that. State your name, let me see what kind of idiot and waste you are."

Luo Li saw Chiyo, who had been in a good mood just a moment ago, walking over with a gloomy face to scold him, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Who dares to scold me?!"

The young man who stood up was stunned, turned his head in anger, and ended up facing a pair of cold, stern eyes.

The other party was a peerless beauty with a face like the moon, but her cold temperament and the red horns on her forehead added a bit of ferocity to her.

"Uh... who are you?"

The young man was clearly stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"Answer my question."

"This, my name is Arataki Itto, the leader of the Arataki Gang."

The young man named Arataki Itto gave an answer subconsciously.

After the response was over, he realized and stared at Mikoshi Chiyo's red horns, greatly surprised: "You... are you from the Red Oni clan?"

He didn't even have time to refute the words about being called a waste just now, and an unprecedented joy surged in his heart.

You know, the bloodline of the yokai race is thin now, and whether it's the Oni race or the Tengu, the population is very small.

To be able to see a fellow Red Oni clansman, heaven knows how happy he was!

"¨. Arataki Itto? A waste I've never heard of. A dignified Oni playing with children, don't you feel ashamed?"

Cold light appeared in Mikoshi Chiyo's eyes. As a member of the Red Oni clan, she felt deeply ashamed.

Most importantly, it was exposed in front of Luo Li. Doesn't that mean she, the ancestor of the Red Oni clan, was useless, otherwise how could there be such a trash descendant.

"Uh, don't just go around scolding people!"

Arataki Itto scratched his head and complained in a mumble.

He felt he was irritable enough, but he didn't expect the other party to be more irritable than him.

Then Itto glanced at the scarlet skin on Chiyo's hands and feet, and suddenly realized that the other party's bloodline seemed very deep.

Unlike him, who only had a pair of horns and red patterns on his body.

"That, can I ask your name?"

"You are not worthy of knowing right now. Get lost to the Mikoshi clan to accept training, and tell the person who receives you that I told you to go."

Leaving a sentence behind, Mikoshi Chiyo didn't even have the interest to look at him more, and turned away. The good mood of shopping with Luo Li just now was completely ruined.

Luo Li watched Chiyo come back with a burst of fire and teased: "What, hating that iron won't turn into steel?"

Chiyo did not answer.

That was for sure. At any rate, as the oldest existence of the Red Oni clan, she was already equivalent to the level of an ancestor.

After being a shut-in for hundreds of years, she came out and saw that her descendant had become like this; how could she accept it.

You know, in order to revitalize the reputation of the Oni race, she fought bravely, was fierce and violent, and left behind the title of Torachiyo.

It was not easy to make the Oni race respected and feared.

And now, the reputation had been ruined by these idiots.
