Chapter 445

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 wasn't right, Yae Miko didn't care, instead enjoying that feeling very much.

"I'll be back again."

Saying this to no one in particular, Miko turned into an arc of light and disappeared under the polite send-off of many shrine maidens and Watatsumi 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 afterward, 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 General Formation once laid down by Hearing Luo Li-dono on Narukami Island."

The shrine maiden answered uncertainly.

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

"Twelve Divine General Formation?!"

Yae Miko understood; this thing had persisted for five hundred years, and although it was generally still running, there were some problems in some places.

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 flaws due to the erosion of time.

As the Grand Narukami Shrine, she was very concerned about the formation protecting the Grand Narukami Shrine, so she naturally called capable people to go and solve it at the first time.

After all, even if it was a formation laid down by Hearing Luo Li, it couldn't last forever without anyone hosting repairs for so many years.

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

"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."

"Fine, 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 something was wrong.

But the problem wasn't big; she would understand when she went to the Tenshukaku.

That guy wouldn't hide it from her.

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

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

Inazuma City! Tenshukaku!

Stepping here again, Miko was still in a good mood, 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 Hearing Luo Li's whereabouts and met him.

She, Yae Miko, was a person who kept her word; at least when facing Hearing Luo Li, she wouldn't go back on her word, and she would make the other party fulfill the conditions she promised.

Holding such a firm belief, Miko took out the token that allowed her to enter the Tenshukaku without reporting, let the Kujou clan perform a routine inspection, and then entered under their respectful send-off.

"Eh, not in the main hall?"

Heading straight to the main pavilion where they met daily, she didn't find anyone, and just as Miko was puzzled, she suddenly heard laughter coming from the backyard.

It was truly amazing 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 directly.

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 on.

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

Raiden Makoto?!

She had seen her when she was a child, used as a fox fur to warm her hands and feet; it was just that her memory wasn't very clear, only remembering that the other party seemed to like her very much.

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

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

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

Thinking of a certain answer, Yae Miko instantly figured out 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 beckoned her in surprise.

With a completely different posture than facing Hearing Luo Li, Miko came to the three of them 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 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 790.

Yae Miko didn't resist at all during this time, letting her be handled very obediently.

In her view, Raiden Makoto and Kitsune Saiguu both belonged to the older generation, and she 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 one has grown up, has her own secrets, and won't report to me wherever she goes."

The tone with words in words made Yae Miko couldn't help but look at the Matriarch, only to find 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 three different teasing gazes, Yae Miko's mind turned rapidly, and she vaguely understood something.

Since Raiden Makoto was back, it meant Hearing Luo Li was almost completely exposed; helping him at this time was no different from joining the Nationalist Army in 1949.

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

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