The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 298: Trainee Witch Ying

"Yae-no-Miyaji, please don't make it difficult for me. This traveler has helped me investigate the purpose of the fools. I will report the truth to the general. The general should be able to reduce the past crimes."

"Oh my god, little Sara, don't always have such a stern face. You used to love to laugh when you were little."

Facing the teasing of Yae Shinto, Kujo Sara showed a hint of shyness in her eyes but she quickly concealed it. She said to the indecent pink-haired fox in front of her with some shame and anger.

"Yae Gongshi, please don't interfere with my official duties!"

"Alright, alright, if you want to capture this traveler, then go ahead. This is what the people behind the scenes want to see the most. If you capture this traveler, without the variable of the traveler, our general may never be able to see through the truth of Inazuma again."

After saying that, Yae Shinto moved aside to reveal Ying, who was still unconscious, behind him. His expression as if he could take Ying away whenever he wanted made Paimeng, who was standing beside him, so anxious that he almost choked on the snack in his mouth.

After hearing this, Kujo Sara did not capture Ying as Paimon had expected. She looked at Yae Shinto with suspicion. Yae Shinto narrowed his eyes, with no extra expression on his face.

Seeing that no clues could be found from Yae Shinto, Kujo Sara sighed and turned to leave. To be able to become Inazuma's general, Kujo Sara herself was not a stupid person. Even though she was usually not very smart, after this series of events she could realize that Inazuma was not normal.

For the sake of Inazuma and the Shogun, Kujo Sara decided to let the traveler Ying go for the time being. After all, what Yae Kamiko said did make sense, and it was not a good choice to arrest the traveler now.

Seeing Kujo Sara turning around and preparing to leave, Yae Kamiko smiled slightly. It was exactly as she had guessed. Whenever her old friend was mentioned, this Tengu who was loyal to her old friend would always consider her old friend first.

"Oh, right, little Sa Luo, let me tell you something. The Kanjo Bugyo had been collecting crystallized bone marrow in order to provide materials for the Fatui to make the Evil Eye. As for whether the news is true or not, you will know the news after your people have investigated the Evil Eye factory."

When Kujo Sara heard the news that Yaezakami suddenly told her, her brows furrowed for a moment, because she knew that Yaezakami had no reason to lie to her.

However, if the Kanjo Bugyo really had some unknown secrets with the Fatui, then the Tong family, as the one in charge of the Kanjo Bugyo, must have colluded with the Fatui. A big family as famous as the Kujo family colluded with the Fatui, Kujo Sara didn't know how to deal with this matter.

"Not only that, when I was in Inazuma Castle, I unexpectedly discovered that the people of the Kujo family secretly released the Fatui that you captured in Inazuma Castle."

"If you investigate these two families in depth, you may find some unexpected answers. I have already said hello to the kid from Kamisato's family. His subordinates will contact you as soon as they have any news."

Perhaps he felt that the news in front of him was not exciting enough for Kujo Sara, and in order to make Kujo Sara see the reality as soon as possible, Yae Shenzi added some more shocking news for Kujo Sara.

After hearing some shocking news, Kujo Sara was completely anxious. In order to verify whether what Yaezakami said was true, Kujo Sara's steps down the mountain were obviously anxious. She now urgently needed to go to the prison to investigate whether those Fatui who were captured by her in Inazuma Castle were still in the prison. She dared to let the serious criminal go privately. According to Inazuma's laws, this crime was enough to sentence her to death.

"Little Sara, watch your step and don't fall. Come and see me often when you have time~"

After watching Kujo Sara leave, Yae Shinko turned around and looked at Ying, who was still half asleep. As if it had been planned, a frivolous voice reached Ying's ears.

"Tell me, three, two, one, one, two, three, ah~"

"Uh... Shenzi, my brain is still intact. What the hell is that testing tone of yours?"

"Ah, I was just testing to see if your brain was damaged, little guy. Now it seems that it should still be usable, so there should be no need for Hanasari-senpai to help you heal it."

Ying shook her dizzy head, and dazedly touched her aching head. She found a big bump on the back of her head. This made Ying seriously suspect that she was dragged back by the pink fox Yae Shenzi. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big bump on the back of her head. "Little guy, what's that look in your eyes? Why do I feel a hint of malice?"

Yae Shinko lifted Ying's chin with his fingers, and the unique smirk of a fox made Ying feel as if she was seen through, and Ying laughed guiltily.

"Son of God, this might be your illusion. I have always been very respectful to you. By the way, why don't I see Ruo Jin?"

"Oh, you're looking for Xiao Ruojin right after you wake up. What an enviable relationship. Xiao Ruojin should go with Xiao Hutao to deal with the clients of Wangshengtang."

"But little guy, I suggest you don't run around. You are now a wanted criminal by the shogunate. If you are discovered, it will definitely be very troublesome. Moreover, I gave the very precious Heart of God to the doctor in order to save you. Don't you plan to compensate me?"

Just as Ying was about to leave the Narukami Taisha Shrine, she was stopped by Yae Shinko. Yae Shinko had promised Ruojin that she would take good care of Ying. If she let Ying leave with injuries, wouldn't she be breaking her promise?

After Yae Shinko said this, Ying then remembered that the executive named Doctor seemed to have said that Yae Shinko had traded her life for the Heart of God. Ying knew how precious the Heart of God was. She felt very guilty for giving up the Heart of God for her, but she really wanted to go down the mountain now. There were still many things she didn't understand.

"By the way, little guy, do you still owe me Mora? Now is the perfect time, why don't you pay me back? If you are wanted and get caught after you go down the mountain, you can leave with a clean record."

"Ah this..."

Ying, who didn't have much Mora in her pocket, looked froze. She had almost spent all of her Mora before, and now she was asked to pay back the Mora she owed to the Son of God. She really couldn't afford it.

"Well, Shenzi, you see I can't go down the mountain now, and Mora and the others are all at the foot of the mountain. How about you see if there is any work you can give me? I can work at Narukami Taisha for a few days and it will be my way of paying off my debt, how about that?"

Thinking that she was now wanted by the Inazuma shogunate, there was no way she could take on commissions from the Adventurer's Association. Ying suddenly felt that it would be quite good to work part-time at the Narukami Taisha Shrine. Based on her understanding of the treatment of shrine maidens, free food and accommodation were the basics, and the monthly salary seemed to be quite high.

"Oh? If you say so, little one, then you can stay here and be a trainee shrine maiden. We just happen to be short of manpower recently. Xing, take this little one to change into a shrine maiden costume."

Having achieved his goal, Yae Shinko asked Ying to follow Axing to change clothes, and then suddenly looked at Paimon with a smile. Paimon, who was still stuffing snacks into his mouth, had a bad premonition.

But just when Paimon was about to escape, the Eightfold God had already caught her and started to ravage her little fat face, while he was sighing at the superior feeling of his hands. The Eightfold God had been coveting Paimon's little fat face for a long time, and now he finally got the chance to ravage it to his heart's content.

"Welcome to Narujin Taisha. Please go straight to pray, turn left to draw fortunes, and register here to deal with evil spirits."

Three days later, Ying, dressed in a shrine maiden's costume, skillfully led a man who looked a little listless to the sacred cherry tree. Looking at the man praying devoutly, Ying secretly put a piece of dessert into his mouth.

Feeling the sweetness melting in her mouth, Ying's mood improved a lot. She didn't know why, but more and more people came to the Naruto Taisha Shrine to pray recently. She also didn't know how Kujo Sara's investigation was going.

"Ahhh, when will this life as a miko end? Although it's quite peaceful here and the salary is quite high, the work here is so boring."

"Ying, come and eat."

"Come here, Paimon, leave a few tri-colored dumplings for me!"
