Chapter 72: Heading to Watatsumi Island! An assist from Kitsune Saigu!

By the time Luo Li came back to his senses, he found that Raiden Makoto had arranged everything.

Now a group of women with top-notch status and positions were revolving around the young Yae.

It must be said, she was so cute when she was young, how did her personality become like that when she grew up?

Until he saw Kitsune Saigu's very satisfied expression, Luo Li felt that the source had been found.

Staring for a long time, suddenly he thought of something and mentioned it.

"Should we notify Sangonomiya?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chiyo immediately cast a faint look of contempt: "Hmph, those rebels, it would be better if they all perished in the mouths of monsters."

As one of the frontline combat generals, she had participated in suppressing the Watatsumi Island rebel army many times and killed many of their people.

Not only did Chiyo find the natives there annoying, but most of the people on Watatsumi Island also hated this heroic Oni girl.

This was a historical problem; from the moment the Watatsumi Great Serpent was beheaded by the Raiden Shogun, the hatred between the two sides had been forged.

It was just because they weren't strong enough that they had to nominally submit to the Shogunate's rule; in reality, that side was more of an autonomous region, and only merchants from both sides would communicate with each other, while ordinary civilians wished the other side would die.

Raiden Makoto thought for a moment and said: "Send someone to notify them."

She couldn't make decisions based on personal subjective emotions like Chiyo; she was the god of all Inazuma and needed to consider not only the present but also the future full of variables.

Just because the two sides were at odds now didn't mean they couldn't sit down and talk peacefully in the future.

Although this matter was really difficult and impossible to complete in a short time, they could only rely on a long time to heal the wounds.

Unless everyone on Watatsumi Island was brainwashed.

Chiyo was unhappy and pouted: "Why notify them when they are clearly enemies? It would be better if they all died."

If they all died, they could send people to completely take over the territory, and all subsequent remaining problems could be perfectly solved.

At this time, even Ei knew it was impossible to do as Chiyo said, and explained: "Watatsumi Island is also Inazuma's people, and we have an obligation to protect them."

Although there were occasional rebellions, most people were law-abiding despite their resentment and did not actually do anything to harm the people of Narukami or Kannazuka.

Snorting a few times, Chiyo knew that things couldn't be violated, so she had to sulk alone.

Luo Li also agreed with Raiden Makoto's resolution; from a national perspective, her decision was not wrong at all.

Temporary hatred didn't mean anything.

Kitsune Saigu said with a smile: "The question is, who will go?"

Due to the unpleasantness that occurred in Enkanomiya and Khaenri'ah, Watatsumi Island had been very strict with outsiders recently, even envoys.

Even if the Shogunate sent people over, they would probably be stopped, unless the person going was of sufficient status.

And one had to consider the bias; for example, Chiyo was very resistant to communicating with people there, and even if she went, she would be high and mighty, maintaining a contemptuous attitude and looking down on people.

Not only would it not serve as a warning, but it would also make people feel that they were coming to show off their power, which would likely deepen the conflict.

Moreover, there was a rumor on Watatsumi Island that the Shogunate had acquiesced to Khaenri'ah's actions and even provided some degree of help.

This made the people of Watatsumi Island even more hostile toward the Shogunate.

So the person who went must meet several requirements.

Finding Kitsune Saigu looking at himself, Luo Li, who was thinking about candidates, felt that something was a bit wrong.

Looking around, everyone was actually staring at him at this moment.

"???"

Raiden Makoto couldn't help but laugh: "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Being stared at by those gentle eyes full of requests, Luo Li knew that this trip probably couldn't be avoided, but he wasn't very resistant.

But going was one thing, bargaining was still necessary.

"What are the benefits? I'm a retired person now, and under normal circumstances, I shouldn't be moving."

Hearing this, Makoto pondered for a moment and showed a troubled expression: "But I can't find a reward that satisfies you; the only thing I can take out is the position of the Raiden Shogun."

Luo Li immediately refused: "There's no need for that."

What's good about the god position? It's better to be free and easy alone.

"Then... why don't you make a request? I'll try my best to agree."

After the joke, she kicked the ball to Luo Li; Raiden Makoto, who really couldn't think of any conditions, had her eyes slightly raised, full of smiles.

I make a condition?

Luo Li thought that what he wanted wasn't easy to say, and everyone knew it.

"Since you can't decide, why don't I make a proposal?"

Kitsune Saigu, who clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention, said with ill intent: "I heard that when a tribe on the island sends out warriors, the lord will generally give a blessing to prevent the warriors from being unable to return, and will even personally bestow upon him the noble bloodline of his wife to inherit the family business." ===== CHAPTER 74 =====
