Chapter 276: Kamisato Ayaka willing to pay any price? The Traveler

Trouble?

Kamisato Ayaka and Kamisato Ayato showed stunned expressions almost at the same time.

Especially Ayaka, who cared deeply for Lumine and Paimon, whom she already regarded as friends. Now that she heard they had offended a god, her heart tightened.

For Thoma’s sake, the eldest daughter was willing to go to rescue him regardless of danger; if Lumine hadn't taken the mission, the punishment the Kamisato clan would have suffered would probably have been even more severe.

Not to mention her anxiety, but it was obviously not the time to leave.

Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, she heard Luo Li say: "Then the divine ritual will be fully handled by the Kamisato clan. I won't ask, just bring me an answer when the time comes."

He was clearly talking about the Traveler just a moment ago, but this lord turned to mention the ritual again.

The two couldn't figure out his thoughts, so they had to respectfully agree.

"Then, that’s it, you may withdraw."

The two were just about to say goodbye when they heard Luo Li add: "Kamisato Ayaka, stay behind, I have some things I want to ask."

"Yes, my lord."

Before withdrawing, Kamisato Ayato looked at his sister with a bit of worry, and then received a secret look.

Ayato understood, knowing she wanted him to warn the Traveler and her companion.

So, while taking his leave, he said: "Then this subordinate will take his leave."

Without staying too long, Kamisato Ayato left the Tenshukaku with a trace of worry.

Thanks to this, there were only two people in the Tenshukaku.

Kamisato Ayaka looked at Luo Li, knowing that the reason she was left behind was mostly related to the Traveler. She appeared calm on the surface, but her heart began to think frantically.

How could she protect the Traveler’s information to the greatest extent?

However, unexpectedly, Luo Li didn't ask about the Traveler’s whereabouts at first, but beckoned to her gently.

"Come forward and sit down, let’s chat slowly."

Ayaka declined at the right time, stating that she didn't dare to sit in the same seat as a god.

Luo Li pointed to the lower seat: "Sit there."

Ayaka then breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.

If she really had to have close contact with this unfamiliar god right away, she would truly be at a loss.

As the distance closed, Luo Li observed the eldest daughter of the Kamisato clan more clearly; her gentle and elegant temperament was worthy of a daughter of a famous family.

"I heard that you were the one who brought that Traveler to meet Ei, making her decide to forgive the Kamisato clan."

Ei?

Kamisato Ayaka was stunned for a moment, then realized this should be the Shogun-sama’s real name.

Not daring to delve deeper, she nodded slightly.

"The lord is right. My relationship with the Traveler was okay, and to help me, she volunteered to come with me to see the Shogun-sama to resolve the Kamisato clan’s difficulties."

"Oh, it seems the relationship is indeed good, to be willing to do this much for you."

Luo Li said this, but actually guessed that that guy must have known his relationship with the Raiden Shogun to act like that.

Thinking it’s fine to hug a big thigh, right?

Kamisato Ayaka was a bit uneasy, but could only tell the truth.

"Do you know where she is now?"

Ayaka met Luo Li’s casual yet deep eyes and said half-truthfully: "Sorry, my lord, I don't know the Traveler’s whereabouts, I only heard last time that the Traveler seems to be solving the problem of the Twelve Divine Generals formation on Narukami Island."

She tentatively stated the Traveler’s contributions to Inazuma so that the person in front of her would know that the other party still had some value.

And she had made many contributions to Inazuma, so even if there was to be punishment, it should be reduced accordingly.

Luo Li knew this little trick like the back of his hand and immediately chuckled: "Is that so? I made that thing five hundred years ago."

Come to think of it, did he count as creating a world quest?

Because Raiden Makoto didn't turn into the Sacred Sakura tree, and Kitsune Saiguu didn't die in the Abyss, the Hanachirusato and the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual naturally didn't happen.

It just so happened that his Twelve Divine Generals formation replaced the world quest.

Thinking about it this way, everything felt like it was destined.

Kamisato Ayaka’s eyes widened suddenly; so the Twelve Divine Generals formation was created by the god in front of her.

She still remembered the Four Great Divine Lords she had the honor to meet; their figures were a hundred feet tall, and the majesty they exuded was not much different from a real god.

"Since you don't want to say, then forget it."

"My lord, I..." Ayaka was anxious, indicating that she was definitely not hiding it on purpose.

"No need to explain, I understand. Since she went to solve the problem of the Twelve Divine Generals formation, I think it will be easy to find Lumine and Paimon."

If she were hiding in some corner of the land of Inazuma, it might take Luo Li some effort to find her, but if she were inside the formation, then just a little sensing would be enough to figure out her whereabouts.

Kamisato Ayaka’s heart sank. She thought the god in front of her would do something terrible to her friends, so she gathered her courage and asked: "I wonder how the lord wants to punish the Traveler?"

Luo Li stared at her thoughtfully and said: "You want to plead for her."

Not admitting it at first, Ayaka said to herself: "Does the lord think, if it were one’s savior, how should one report it?"

"Hmm, offer yourself?"

"Alright, so you mean to say, in order to protect the Traveler who saved the Kamisato clan, you are willing to do anything and pay any price, including twisting my will? Just like trying to twist Ei?"

Kamisato Ayaka’s face turned pale instantly.

This was a heart-piercing remark.

Although the Shogun-sama forgave the Kamisato clan, in the eyes of others, betraying the Shogun-sama was a fact.

At present, it seemed nothing had happened to the Kamisato clan, that was because they hadn't made a mistake. These days, they had been walking on thin ice, under even more pressure than after the incident with her grandfather and the Kaedehara clan.

If anything went wrong, those people in the dark would swarm like sharks smelling blood.

Just like the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission, which had been in turmoil during this period.

Only Kujou Sara of the Kujou clan was fine, while almost everyone in the Hiiragi clan was under control.

"No, Ayaka wouldn't dare. The Kamisato clan has never had the idea of rebelling against the Shogun-sama, and has always upheld the divine ritual and comforted the people of Inazuma. It’s just that we took a wrong path and used the wrong means in the process, and we dare not bear this crime."

The elegant eldest daughter explained in a panic, afraid of being defined as disrespectful to the gods.
