Chapter 406

As the three were talking, the figure of Sangonomiya Kokomi gradually appeared not far away.

Seeming afraid that Father would be snatched away by these women, the girl hurried to finish her official duties and rushed to the cliff behind the Sangonomiya Shrine.

"Father!"

Even if she just saw Hearing Luo Li, the energy Kokomi had lost due to dealing with official business began to slowly recover.

Hurrying to his side, the girl was not as reserved as Asase Hibiki, but instead leaned against Hearing Luo Li just like Chiyo.

This act of throwing herself into his arms made Chiyo look at her suspiciously.

As her gaze flickered, she asked: "Speaking of which, you haven't explained the reason for this daughter to me yet. It couldn't be the bloodline born between you and Makoto over the past five hundred years, could it?"

Although the two children equivalent to the birth of an Archon were certainly extraordinary, Kokomi did not match Hearing Luo Li and Raiden Makoto in any feature "863".

This made Chiyo dismiss the idea of them being biological at the first moment.

"Regarding Kokomi, I have to mention the time you asked me to go to Watatsumi Island to negotiate."

Hearing Luo Li had no intention of hiding it, but in front of Kokomi, he had to slightly modify his psychology, which was not purely out of curiosity.

After pondering for a moment, he recounted the ins and outs of how he barely managed to grant Kokomi life.

"The Divine Priestess of that generation took me to visit that pearl, and it turned out that a baby was born in the shell. At that time, in order to help the child who was congenitally deficient, I gave a helping hand."

"Perhaps it was because the life mark given at that time possessed the aura of my origin, which is why Kokomi recognized me as her father."

Learning why she had a natural affection for Hearing Luo Li, Kokomi not only did not feel disgusted but instead leaned closer.

"It shows that the fate between daughter and Father is destined by heaven."

The words of attachment blurted out, and Kokomi kissed him, not knowing for what purpose.

The unconventional behavior made Asase Hibiki quite envious; she would not dare to reveal her own feelings like this.

Chiyo raised her eyebrows slightly, having a little interest in the girl who seemed gentle and soft on the surface.

It was the first time she had seen such a bold girl.

There was no jealousy or dissatisfaction; just like Raiden Makoto, Chiyo did not take multiple relationships to heart.

She was even clearer that Hearing Luo Li was also unconventional in this regard, and people like them could not control him.

Kokomi did not see Chiyo's gaze, licked the crystal on her cherry lips, and her energy value immediately returned to full.

"By the way, Father, news just came from Narukami Island that there has been a huge change in the Shogunate's high command. The heads of the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission have both been imprisoned, and the Yashiro Commission has been severely punished."

"The rank-and-file foot soldiers have been cleared out even more. During this period, those who took action were the Shogunate's elite guards and the direct banner-flag generals belonging to the Raiden Shogun. It is estimated that the deity noticed something."

"In addition, it is rumored among the people that the former leader of the Grand Narukami Shrine, Kitsune Saigu, has returned..."

A series of news made Hearing Luo Li stunned for a moment.

Kitsune Saigu is back?

That fox spirit who liked to play pranks, deliberately teased him, and said she wanted to be his wingman, has now appeared again.

The old friends from before seem to be all here when looking around.

Even though they have experienced five hundred years of time and have some painful memories.

But when the haze dissipated, what appeared seemed to be a perfect ending.

Chiyo chimed in at the right time: "She is right. When I came to find you, I happened to see Saigu return."

"Does that guy know about my news too?"

"Probably, but she shouldn't be too sure."

Hearing Luo Li fell into deep thought. Looking at the series of changes in Inazuma City, it seems that something he is not very clear about has happened.

Ei's actions are somewhat inconsistent with the nature of the puppet Shogun. Could it be that the original consciousness has replaced it?

Otherwise, no one else would be qualified to issue such an order.

The Grand Narukami Shrine is independent of the Shogunate, and Miko, and even Saigu, cannot influence the government system.

"I always feel like it's getting troublesome."

Hearing Luo Li tapped his head gently and unconsciously, having a bad premonition.

Everything was going according to his plan, but now it seems to be slowly deviating from the track it should have been on.

"Forget it, take it one step at a time."

…………

Mount Yougou! Grand Narukami Shrine!

The blooming cherry blossoms adorned the shrine as if it were standing in a sea of flowers.

Everywhere you look, there is crimson...

After sending off the last batch of pilgrims and believers, the idle shrine maidens began to clean up the garbage and scattered petals everywhere.
