Chapter 258: Enter the land of Tenshukaku! Chiyo who wants to reproduce!

Arataki Itto was dumbfounded. He had inexplicably lost the beetle fight, and ended up being scolded by a clansman who popped out of nowhere.

Watching the backs of the clansman and a young man leaving, he scratched his head and muttered.

"Mikoshi clan?"

He seemed to have heard of this clan's name; it was very famous in Inazuma, and it seemed to have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years.

If it were an ordinary person, they might immediately associate the female oni just now with Mikoshi Chiyo, but unfortunately, with Itto's intelligence, he didn't associate the two for a while.

If someone else ordered him, Itto would likely ignore it.

However, the person who gave the order was a clansman, which made him a bit indecisive.

Since he was born, he had never seen a second Red Oni clansman. Having finally seen one, he wanted to take the opportunity to find more clansmen.

Even if he lived carelessly in the human world and didn't see himself as an alien, sometimes he would feel lonely and isolated.

He couldn't get excited about other things, but when it came to clansmen, Arataki Itto was suddenly motivated.

"Oh well, listen to her, go to the Mikoshi clan and see. But I don't even know her name; will others believe what I say?"

Arataki Itto held doubts and was determined to give it a try.

"Anyway, the Arataki Gang has Kuki Shinobu watching, so nothing major will happen."

With a firm thought, Arataki Itto immediately began to ask passersby where the Mikoshi clan was located.

Separated from that stupid clansman, Mikoshi Chiyo still didn't feel relieved even after scolding him.

How could there be such a person?

How could he still play with children at this age? Doesn't he have even a little bit of shame?!

Luo Li found it interesting; seeing Arataki Itto gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

He seemed to have seen someone similar before.

"Oh, remembered, his name was Oga-o-o."

Glancing at Chiyo, Luo Li remembered that the giant holding the Redhorn Stonethresher had once wrestled with her, only to be thrown into the sky with one hand.

That Oga-o-o also liked to play with children very much; perhaps Arataki Itto was his descendant.

After all, the two's personalities and ways of doing things were too similar.

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. You can slowly deal with him later."

Seeing Mikoshi Chiyo brooding, Luo Li finally spoke to comfort her.

"Hmm, I must let that kid understand where the honor of the Oni race comes from."

Because Mikoshi Chiyo herself had never had offspring, most of the Mikoshi clan now were descendants of her adopted son, Mikoshi Nagamasa, and did not carry the Oni bloodline.

So it was understandable that the Oni race was thin.

"But I'm worried that kid isn't a talent worth molding, so..."

Chiyo's eyes flickered. Placing hope in others was ultimately unreliable; it was more reassuring to do it herself.

For example, using herself as the mother to give birth to the Oni bloodline, and then teaching them carefully from a young age.

But this required Luo Li, as the paternal side, to work harder.

It seemed that in the future, she couldn't swallow it; she had to accept the seed in the most traditional way, otherwise it would be a bit of a waste.

At any rate, she had to increase the probability of getting pregnant.

Having made up her mind, Chiyo nodded silently.

Luo Li didn't know what the person beside him was thinking and continued to move along the main road.

All around were Shimura's, snack stalls, Yayoi Lacquerware, and the bustling Adventurers' Guild, with adventurers coming and going in an endless stream.

Although it couldn't compare to the noise of Mondstadt, Inazuma City, having removed the Vision Hunt Decree, was also gradually recovering its former vitality.

Further ahead, passing the Aisa Bathhouse, there was also the very famous restaurant in Inazuma City, "Uyuu Restaurant."

It was probably equivalent to Liyue's Liuli Pavilion or Xinyue Kiosk.

On the road, there were also many small vendors selling oil-paper umbrellas with Inazuma characteristics, or fox masks belonging to the shrine.

Various shops had changed countless times over the past thousand years.

At least in Luo Li's impression, the only vague memories left were the Amenoma clan and the Naganohara shop.

The rest of the familiar faces had all dissipated into the dust of history.

Soon, leaving Hanamizaka and then detaching from the town street, that high and lofty land of Tenshukaku leaped into view ahead.

The closer he got to the land of Tenshukaku, the more Luo Li's heart, which hadn't fluctuated for thousands of years, actually rippled.

Taking a deep breath to suppress his restless mood, he saw that where the Statue of the Her Excellency the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder originally stood, some Tenryou Commission officials were dismantling the Visions embedded on it.

Since the Vision Hunt Decree was canceled, these confiscated Visions naturally had to be returned to their original owners.

The vast Inazuma City was overlooked by this noble and supreme place.

Crossing the Statue of the Her Excellency the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder, one could also see many shogunate samurai standing around the Tenryou Commission; those were sent by the Shogun to supervise, to prevent those below from acting in defiance of orders.

Since Raiden Ei had awakened, she would never let these people continue to deceive the holy hearing.

"Your Highness Luo Li, we have arrived!"

Above the Tenryou Commission was the land of Tenshukaku.

Mikoshi Chiyo's mood was extremely excited, thinking that the small group of Inazuma's high-level officials she was once familiar with would reunite, and she felt delighted.

Luo Li looked at the land of Tenshukaku, which seemed unchanged for a thousand years, and his thoughts drifted randomly.

Although the people guarding it had changed, their duties had ultimately not changed.

"Let's go, it's finally considered coming home."

Muttering in a low voice, Luo Li and Mikoshi Chiyo arrived at the gate leading to the land of Tenshukaku.

"Stop right there!"

The one guarding the gate was a shogunate samurai, carrying the thunder crest on his back, with a sturdy build.

"This is the Tenshukaku, the highest place in Inazuma City, the residence of the most revered Shogun. The Shogun is of high status and power, governing all living beings in Inazuma; idlers are not allowed to disturb."

He looked serious and issued a warning to the two who were approaching the land of Tenshukaku for no reason.

Luo Li's expression was slightly startled; he almost forgot that the person in front of him didn't know him at all.

In the past, no one dared to stop him; wherever he went, there were respectful and awe-filled gazes.

"It's not like the old days now."

Luo Li shook his head slightly and was about to say something when he saw Mikoshi Chiyo step forward and take out the token belonging to the Mikoshi clan.

"Mikoshi Chiyo, I want to see the Shogun!"

The soldiers next to the shogunate samurai frowned, just wanting to scold them for not knowing who they were and to leave the land of Tenshukaku quickly.

But seeing their own superior suddenly look solemn, he said respectfully with a look of awe: "So it is Lady Chiyo of the Mikoshi clan, please enter."

Five hundred years ago, Chiyo didn't need to be announced to enter the Tenshukaku, and it was the same now.

Without even looking at the guards, the two walked straight into the land of Tenshukaku.
