Chapter 454

"What are you thinking about in your little head all day? Of course I won't."

Touching her head with amusement, Luo Li was very fond of this obedient daughter, but sometimes he had a headache.

For example, after learning that Asase Hibiki was with Mikoshi Chiyo, her heart became restless, and her intimate actions became more frequent and bold.

Unfortunately, until now, she hadn't been able to advance the strategy process to home base.

It seems that in Father's eyes, she was just an obedient little cotton-padded jacket.

This made Kokomi very dissatisfied, but there was no way; she couldn't just 21 drug him.

She hadn't let go to that extent, and besides, the medicine might not be effective.

"Don't worry, when I solve the matter, I will come back to see you. In the future, if you have nothing to do, you can also come to Narukami Island to find me."

Setting a flag, Luo Li gave a promise very generously.

"Then let's pinky swear!"

"..."

She wasn't a child anymore, why pinky swear.

Facing Kokomi's stubborn gaze, Luo Li had to surrender temporarily.

"Father must remember what you said today, you are not allowed to ignore me in the future!"

Kokomi had a strong sense of anxiety; mainly because her bond with Luo Li was obviously not deep enough, and the contact time was not long enough, which was obviously not comparable to Yae Miko and the others.

If Father forgot her after leaving, she would have no way at all.

After receiving the promise repeatedly, she finally let go of her hand and stood on tiptoe to lightly press her lips against the corner of Luo Li's mouth.

"This is the magic to make Father remember me!"

"Magic, huh..."

Laughing lightly, Luo Li finally started the return journey under the urging of Mikoshi Chiyo.

Asase Hibiki accompanied him at his side, quiet and still, just like her five hundred years ago.

"Luo Li, what do you think Ei will look like when she sees you?"

Halfway through, Chiyo asked with a sudden interest.

Luo Li thought for a while and pondered: "According to Miko's words, it should be quite a surprise, and also with a bit of resentment."

But this is all normal.

Anyone who leaves for hundreds of years and doesn't return the first time will have some complaints.

But he had confidence; the preparations he had Miko make in advance, and the infiltration of the news, everything was under control.

Unless...

Thinking of a result with a particularly small probability, Luo Li shook his head slightly; it was unlikely.

Even if Miko colluded with Ei and Lumine to deceive him, they didn't know that he had returned a few years ago; in Lumine's cognition, the two had only met for at most a month.

As for earlier information about him, it seems they didn't ask people in Mondstadt.

Even if she heard that he had arrived in Mondstadt earlier, she would just need to coordinate with Makoto at that time.

Is it possible that Ei wouldn't believe Makoto and would believe an outsider?

"Hmm, even if there are loopholes, it should be possible to reverse them."

After sorting through his thoughts again and confirming there were no big problems, Luo Li felt at ease.

What is called planning and strategizing? This is it!

Perhaps Kokomi inherited a trace of his talent, which is why she became so talented and wise.

Extremely satisfied with his thorough thinking, and without any guards, Luo Li, accompanied by Mikoshi Chiyo and Asase Hibiki, passed through Nazuchi Beach, crossed Tatarasuna, and then traversed Kannazuka.

It took half a day to finally step on the land of Narukami Island.

This time Luo Li had no intention of concealing his figure.

"Compared to the Inazuma City of five hundred years ago, the current planning doesn't seem to have changed much."

Although he had returned to Inazuma for a long time, this was the first time Luo Li had stepped into Inazuma City.

The city located at the highest point of the island followed the rules he had established.

Mikoshi Chiyo said as a matter of course: "The General wants a scene that will remain eternal for thousands of generations, which naturally includes the structural changes of Inazuma City."

Hearing this, Luo Li looked around casually; except for the variety of things being bought and sold, many structures and arrangements had truly not changed at all.

Looking from the waterwheel on the outskirts of the city, the huge Sakura tree first came into view.

When approaching, the noise of carriages and horses and the sound of hammering continued to come.

In sight, the Amenoma clan, which seemed to have never changed, was still forging iron there.

The hot temperature made pedestrians afraid to approach, and they all stayed away when passing by.

Accompanied by the sizzling sound of quenching, warm water mist steamed up.

"The Amenoma clan has already fallen to this point."

Looking at the family crest belonging to the Amenoma clan on the outskirts, Luo Li couldn't help but sigh.

Back then, the Raiden Gokaden was so glorious, and the five families took turns offering the "Divine Sword" to the Narukami.

Now the family is withered, and only the Amenoma clan remains in the world, which makes people sigh.

Time can change many things; just as even the most noble bloodline will be eroded by time, it is very slim for mere mortals to want to keep their original intentions.

"Your Highness Luo Li, are you going directly to the Tenshukaku?"

After entering Inazuma City, Chiyo's address to him became formal again.

"It's on the way anyway, I'll take a look at the changes in Inazuma today on the way."

Luo Li neither confirmed nor denied it, but intended to slow down his pace.

Asase Hibiki was quite tempted; she didn't have much interest in seeing the Raiden Shogun, and they didn't have many opportunities to meet five hundred years ago, so they weren't very familiar with each other.

Compared to seeing the Raiden Shogun, she was more inclined to go to the Thousand-Gate Empty Boat on the sea to see her good sister, the current head of the Tengu clan, the Great Tengu—Mitsuyo.

Thinking this way, she did so.

"Teacher, I won't go. I'll go see Sister Mitsuyo first. If you finish here, just come and notify us."

The only people Asase Hibiki was close to were Kitsune Saiguu, Luo Li, and Mitsuyo; Yae Miko barely counted as half.

Luo Li gladly agreed: "Good, when things here are done, I will go see you."

After the agreement was made, the three parted ways.

Asase Hibiki walked along the Chinju Forest toward Konda Village and Ritou.

In addition, Luo Li and Mikoshi Chiyo moved forward along the main road leading to the Tenshukaku.
