I'm starting a mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 52: Doubts about Trust (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

A post-war summary is necessary, and winning is just what we deserve, so we can just brush it off in one stroke.

Losing is intolerable. From logistics to the front lines, everyone, except the dead, must be interrogated.

There is only one question, why did we lose?
If Bai Ye had not shown up, then this review meeting would have been a criticism meeting of Kumiko Sanada.

Two groups of apostles were sent to their deaths one after another. The first group were from other factions, but the Toyotomi family still protected her. This time, even two people with the surname Toyotomi died in the sewer, so there was no one to protect her.

Fortunately, she died and didn't have to kneel here again.

And someone took the blame for all the battle failures. This time, the Sanada family really has to thank Bai Ye for his appearance.

Otherwise, the blame would be so big that the Sanada family could be expelled from the family, instead of just going to the branch family to find someone to adopt as the new family member as they are doing now.

After reading the battle report again and again, the Toyotomi hero with a gloomy face calmly asked Mai Shiranui: "If your report is not shirking responsibility, how strong is that fox?"

She had reason to doubt that Mai Shiranui's report was false. The Divine Grace Bureau had plenty of money, so all combatants were equipped with micro combat recorders, and Taimanin also had some, which were consumables that could be replenished at any time.

There was a problem with the battle recorders of Mai Shiranui and the other two. Their video recordings were turned off after reaching the underground of the sewage treatment plant. No video of Bai Ye was recorded, and even how Kumiko Sanada was killed was not recorded.

After disassembling the equipment, the technicians gave the cause of the failure as water seepage, which forced Toyotomi Hideo to believe that Mai Shiranui and the other two conspired to surround and kill Kumiko and destroy the body in order to shirk the responsibility for the failure of the operation.

But the report mentioned that Bai Ye, the fox demon with two tails, made everyone cautious. Like Inu Taisho, Bai Ye was a strategic demon who could speak and converse freely and even possessed super high intelligence.

Mai Shiranui was also surprised when she found out that the recorders of the three of them did not record Bai Ye's figure, but when she thought that the other party could walk up to them quietly and they could not sense his presence, she felt that there was no problem.

With capabilities like that, breaking a combat recorder isn't a big deal.

This was indeed done by Bai Ye. Her plan was to use the revolver of the Shen'en Bureau to kill Kumiko Sanada and put the blame on the Taima Ninja who also used a revolver.

It doesn’t matter whether someone is punished or not. What matters is that they don’t trust each other. As long as the emotion of distrust grows, Bai Ye will have room to maneuver.

Mai Shiranui didn't think as deeply as Bai Ye did, but she knew that she and others must clear the suspicion of murdering their companions, otherwise the Taimanin and the Shen'en Bureau would definitely be in opposition. If they were framing her now, it might become true in the future.

The quickest way to clear this suspicion is to let Shiranui come out to testify, but whether she is willing to do so is another question. After all, she is only a bodyguard, not a witness.

But this time she was very proactive. Before Mai Shiranui could slap the scabbard to ask her to come out, she came out by herself.

A figure was reflected in the rising purple flames. She came out to testify not for the purpose of protecting her master, because Mai Shiranui was not her master.

Just to get Bai Ye! She must pay back the humiliation of being crushed by both force and intelligence in the sewer!
"Sanada Kumiko was killed by that evil ghost with a catfish head. He attacked her from behind and killed her instantly with one shot. What's there to say?"

"Why didn't you notice it? Why didn't you stop it?"

The clenched fists proved that Toyotomi Hideo's heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface, because Kumiko Sanada was her best friend and childhood friend, and her most trusted confidant.

She died just like that, and even her body was taken away by the demons. How could she calm down?

Everyone can feel the suppressed anger of Toyotomi Hero, but Shiranui will not tolerate anyone. If you are angry, go find Bai Ye. It’s none of my business.

"I was just a bodyguard assigned to supervise the Taimanin, not your babysitter. She was beaten to death, what does it have to do with me? Why should I stop it?"

This sentence means that she found out but didn't care.

This made Toyotomi Hideo so angry that he slapped the entire conference table to pieces and turned around and left. Fortunately, she still had reason and did not fight with Shiranui. If Shiranui told others about the gestures she made at that time, there would definitely be a fight.

Toyotomi Hero left, and a large group of people followed her. These were all members of the Toyotomi fighting faction. They also had hot tempers and left while suppressing their anger.

The leader of the civil servant faction, Ishida Tomotoshi, stayed behind. He was also filled with indignation, but the Sanada family, which was also a pillar of Toyotomi, was now in great trouble and he had to stand up for it. The Toyotomi family had to be involved in the subsequent plans, otherwise who knows if he would be pushed out as a sacrifice by others.

Bai Ye's plan was successful. If she wanted to put the blame on the Taima Ninja and drive them away, it would undoubtedly be impossible to do so.

But all she wanted was to create a little bit of distrust. Then the plan would have been successful when Mai Shiranui and the other two returned to the Divine Grace Bureau alive. All the current work to clear them of suspicion was only widening the rift of distrust.

He held his eyes and suppressed his inner emotions. Ishida Tomotoshi calmly asked, "Master Shiranui, do you know why this demon fox Bai Ye did this? Why didn't she obey Master Yasakatori's orders and stay in Hokkaido to be a lord?"

Shiranui rolled her eyes at him, thinking that he was a bit stupid, and even though her flaming body had no eyes, everyone could sense that.

"Who told you that Oeyama is the leader of all demons?"

Now everyone was getting restless, isn’t this the case?
Shiranui felt helpless about their lack of knowledge. Even the mythology books written by you humans mentioned that there are three great demons. Now you actually think that Oeyama, who appeared first, is the leader of all the demons. Your brains are not good enough.

"Although the myths that you humans spread are inconsistent with the actual situation, they are still based on facts. Although they are indeed the strongest after Master Yashakudori joined the Oeyama, they have never been the only leader of the demon world."

"Bai Ye is a fox. She is a natural descendant of the great demon Tamamonomae. How could you think she is a demon from Oeyama?"

Tamamonomae!
Princess Kurikonai is now in high spirits. No wonder the Divine Grace Bureau has always had problems since she took office, with apostles dying in battle one after another.

It turns out that it was Tamamonomae's people who were causing trouble. It seems that I have to kill the fox demon like my ancestors did!
Hearing Tamamonomae's name, Prince Kurunichi was cheering herself up, Mai Shiranui and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and someone was already arranging her funeral affairs.

"Master Shiranui, since she is Tamamonomae's person, and the Killing Stone has been shattered, will Tamamonomae appear?"

"who are you?"

"I am the logistics director of the Onmyoji, and my ancestor is Abe Haruaki."

The young man had a bitter smile on his face. In the myth, Tamamonomae was killed by Abe Haruaki. He was afraid that the old accounts of his ancestors would be brought down on his head.

"Oh, descendant of the great Onmyoji, why are you so weak? You don't have the demeanor of Abe Haruaki at all."

In response to Shiranui's question, Tsuchimikado Tsurutachi really wanted to say, I'm not very stylish here and am called Xiaohe, but when I go out of this door, what will they call me!
But this cannot be said. The people sitting here can call him Xiao He, and they can still call him Xiao He when they go out.

"After all, without the strength of our ancestors, we certainly don't have their demeanor."

"That's not right. Didn't you keep the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection? You didn't practice it?"

What! Can it be cultivated?

Tsuchimikado Tsurutachi immediately said goodbye and went home. He had to go back to find the book quickly. He had missed decades of time!
