Chapter 141

~6 min read 1,174 words

Due to the growing dissatisfaction with the Vision Hunt Decree.

Every day, many new recruits join the resistance army on Watatsumi Island.

The momentum of the resistance army grows ever larger.

The scale of friction with the Shogunate army also gradually expands.

But because the Shogunate army is led by Kujou Sara of the Tenryou Commission.

Most of the resistance army lack Visions, so casualties remain heavy during battles with the Shogunate army.

They lose more than they win.

Although the overall direction of the war leans more toward the Shogunate army.

Still, among the resistance army, there are many soldiers with some strength.

"Sigh..."

"Just transferred to the front lines, I originally wanted to achieve something for the resistance army."

"But the result is..."

A young man with black hair sat on the ground, dejected.

"What's wrong? You have no spirit."

Upon hearing this.

The young man immediately stood up, straightened his attitude, and said, "Captain."

"I am Teppei, a member of the Takatsuki Squad."

After the self-introduction.

Teppei awkwardly scratched his head: "I was transferred to the front lines not long ago. I originally wanted to establish some merit, but my first attempt went badly..."

"And now you see me sitting here, dejected."

"I'm truly sorry. It's so embarrassing."

Paimon: "It's Teppei."

Lumine: "Yes, I remember that when Teppei was first transferred to the front lines, he was indeed in the Takatsuki Squad."

Scaramouche: "Hmph! Is this the Teppei you mentioned earlier? Takatsuki Squad? That name sounds like it has no future."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Hey, what right does an Fatui Harbinger like you have to judge our resistance army?"

Scaramouche: "Never mind. Anyway, I think the methods of a Reincarnator are surely more ruthless than the Fatui of this life, so I have no need to argue with you."

Venti: "The Takatsuki Squad isn't the key; the key is their captain..."

Tianquan Ningguang: "It is a previous avatar of Mr. Su Bai."

Alhaitham: "He's gone from being a guard on duty to a captain? That's truly fast."

Cyno: "The key is that there are twelve of his avatars within the resistance army."

Kaeya: "Then it's over. I don't think the entire resistance army has twelve squads."

Diluc: "After becoming a captain, did he directly demand that those below use Delusions? A plan like this, sigh..."

"Hmm..."

"No wonder."

The captain examined Teppei's waist.

"You have no Vision, nor the latest secret weapon; you definitely cannot defeat the Shogunate army."

Secret weapon?

Teppei froze.

"Captain, what secret weapon?"

"Look, it's this." The captain shook the glass bead at his waist.

"This is..." Teppei's pupils contracted sharply.

The Vision is something he dreams of obtaining.

Unfortunately, the gods can never notice his wish to contribute to Inazuma.

He has no Vision, but he has seen a Vision.

The glass bead at the captain's waist, aside from the color being different from a Vision, looks exactly like a Vision in shape.

"Shh!"

"This is the Takatsuki Squad's secret."

"I heard that the Kanjou Commission has been secretly manufacturing secret weapons with functions similar to Visions to gain profits."

"Through a friend working at the Kanjou Commission, I had him help me buy a batch at a low price."

"This is the reason our Takatsuki Squad has been able to hold the front line against the Shogunate army."

The Kanjou Commission?

Truly despicable people. The land of Inazuma is now in deep suffering, yet they are still secretly engaging in self-enrichment.

Teppei gritted his teeth in hatred.

Indeed, the Kanjou Commission must have deliberately implemented the Vision Hunt Decree, while also selling secret weapons similar to Visions to reap huge profits.

But the ability the captain claimed was comparable to a Vision deeply attracted Teppei, who wanted to establish merit for the resistance army and end Inazuma's current situation as soon as possible.

"Captain, that..."

"I..."

Seeing Teppei's look of eager desire.

The captain shook his head: "Teppei, such things are rare and precious. I dare not confirm whether you possess a heart truly fervent for resisting the Shogunate, you understand..."

Upon hearing this, Teppei.

He stood even straighter: "Captain, I swear that for the victory of the Resistance cause, I am willing to sacrifice my own life without hesitation."

Upon hearing this, the Captain pretended to turn away.

A few seconds later, he patted Teppei's shoulder.

"Good lad, since that is the case, you must surely win many merits for the Resistance cause."

Having spoken, he took a finely crafted box from his pocket and handed it to Teppei.

"Go for it, I await news of your merits."

Gorou: "Sigh, it seems Teppei of the previous life indeed could not escape the fate of using an Eye of Delusion."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Mr. Su Bai, Teppei only wished to contribute to the Resistance cause and to Inazuma; can you truly bear to deceive him?"

Su Bai: "I asked him, you know. It was he who himself promised to spare no sacrifice of his life; I did not force him."

Kamisato Ayaka: "This... indeed seems to be the case..."

Su Bai: "Moreover, I believe Teppei does not need your pity. He is a warrior, and a warrior's pride is more precious than his life. I believe Teppei understands this principle. If he were truly concerned only for his own life, why would he have come to the front lines? Why would he have joined your Resistance Army?"

Su Bai: "For a warrior, the resolve to face death already exists while fighting on the battlefield. Pity is the greatest insult to their resolve..."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "This..."

Diluc: "The battlefield is no game; death can happen at any moment. In truth, whether one has an Eye of Delusion or not, as long as the Resistance Army continues to fight the Shogunate, if it is not him dying today, it will be someone else dying tomorrow. There is not much difference."

Yae Miko: "Sigh, although I cannot bear to watch, I must admit that what Su Bai said is indeed not wrong. It is so uncomfortable; I dislike him yet am powerless."

Eula: "No, you should learn from me: first record the grudge, and Think of another way to settle the score with him later."

Lisa: "What if there is no chance to settle the score?"

Eula: "Then we can only keep recording it forever. (aggrieved)"

【Sangonomiya Island Resistance Logistics General Headquarters.】

【Inside the office.】

【Sangonomiya Kokomi, troubled, put down the intelligence in her hands.】

【She rubbed her temples.】

【"Gorou, the situation on the front lines does not seem particularly optimistic for our Resistance Army."】

【"In the past period, we have lost quite a few soldiers."】

【"Each squad urgently wants to continue transferring personnel from the rear to rush to the front lines."】

【"What is your view?"】

【"my lord," Gorou replied respectfully: "But as far as I know, the situation of the Shogunate Army is equally not optimistic."】

【"Besides..."】

【Gorou hesitated, about to speak but stopping.】

【Sangonomiya Kokomi said softly: "Since matters have reached this point, just speak your mind."】
