However, the company's stance is to stand on the side of the people.

Thinking of this, he looked at Yae no Miko and said, "I can help you persuade the magistrate, but how many of the people's demands can you satisfy?"

The Eighth Divine Child, somewhat confused, asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Master Yazae, you really should go out and see the world. Our Inazuma is the most backward and ignorant country on the Teyvat continent. The people still live in poverty." As he spoke, he turned to look at Yingmei, "Traveler, you have been to Mondstadt and Liyue, tell me your impressions."

Yingmei compared the three places in her mind and had to admit that he was right.

Although Mondstadt is not particularly advanced or developed, it is free and fair, and the Knights of Favonius who govern there never oppress the common people.

Liyue Harbor in Liyue is the most bustling city on the Teyvat continent.

Inazuma Castle looks like a rural-urban fringe area of ​​Liyue Harbor. Many Inazuma civilians have faces that are perpetually numb and weary.

"Yazo no Hitoshi, Chiki is right. Well, I can only say that Inazuma still has a lot of room for development."

To be considerate of Yae no Miko's feelings, she tried to use some euphemistic words.

Yae no Miko's expression was very unpleasant. Anyone would feel bad if their country was said to be backward and ignorant, but this was the truth.

"Ueno Chiki, so what do you mean?"

"In addition to revoking the Eye Hunting Edict and the National Isolation Edict, disband the Heavenly Territory Magistrate and the Surveying Magistrate, and execute Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke!"

Yae no Miko smiled wryly, "You've really given me a tough problem. But I agree."

Chapter 65 Persuasion Society Advisor

The atmosphere in the lobby of the magistrate's office was somewhat somber.

Unlike their previous meetings, this time only Ayato Kamisato and Chiki Ueno were present.

Ayato Kamisato sat upright in the main seat, his expression serious and his eyes filled with disgust. He had no good feelings for the man who had stolen his sister's heart, even though he had changed his opinion of him to a great extent.

"Tell me, why have you come to see me this time?"

Ueno Chiki didn't seem to notice the displeasure in his tone, and replied politely, "I've come here on behalf of Lord Yae-no-ji."

"Lord Yae no Kōji?" Ayato Kamisato asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, Lady Yaegami hopes that the magistrate will stand on her side."

In the past, Ayato Kamisato would have chosen to stand with Narukami Taisha without hesitation.

But he needed to figure out one thing first: "Which side is Lord Yae-no-gami on? The people, or the gods?"

Ueno Chiki immediately understood what Ayato Kamisato meant: the current Raiden General had actually moved to the opposite side of the people.

"Yazo no Hitoshi's stance is that of both the people and the gods. Her plan is to reverse the will of the gods and make them stand on the side of the people again."

After hearing this, Ayato Kamisato gave a bitter smile. "How easy is it to reverse the will of a god! Do you know how much effort I put in? It was all in vain. That god only cares about what he considers eternal, even if this country is dying!"

“Head of the Kamisato family, we can definitely do it this time, because we have the Traveler on our side. She has the ability to change the situation and has extraordinary strength.”

"I've heard about some of her achievements and I admire her greatly. So, what are your plans?"

Afterwards, Chiki Ueno told Ayato Kamisato about the plan she had made earlier.

After a long pause, Ayato Kamisato said, “Tell us first, after you have reversed the will of the gods, how do you plan to deal with the Tenryo Magistrate and the Kansei Magistrate?”

The various chaotic situations that arose in Inazuma were actually inextricably linked to the Tenryō-bōchō (Heavenly Commander) and Kanjō-bōchō (Recordation Commander). Originally, the shogunate had its own civil and military officer system, which operated independently.

However, because the Raiden Shogun relied too heavily on these two officials, their power continued to expand, and the civil and military officials of the shogunate became virtually defunct.

Both of these powerful figures prioritized their family interests and completely disregarded the lives of the people.

If these two major principles are not resolved, even if the will of the gods is reversed, Inazuma may soon return to the same state as before.

"Severely punish the management of the Tenryo and Kansei magistrates, execute those who deserve it, and then disband both magistrates." Ueno Chiki's face was cold; these two magistrates had caused too many tragedies.

In particular, the crimes committed by the Heavenly Leader are too numerous to list.

Ayato Kamisato was surprised that Chiki Ueno was so decisive and had such courage.

He carefully examined Ueno Chiki and found that he was no longer the thin man he remembered, but rather tall, handsome, and with firm and piercing eyes.

Of course, there is still a big gap compared to myself.

If he wants to marry Ayaka, with his current state, no way!

"Ueno Chiki, I agree to your request. The Final Chapter will deliver the evidence of collusion between the Tenryo Magistrate and the Fools to Narukami Taisha tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, head of the Kamisato family."

Just as Ueno Chiki was about to leave, Kamisato Ayaka walked in with light steps.

Upon seeing Ueno Chiki, she quickly walked up to him. "Chiki, it's been so long! Did you come all this way to see me?"

When Ayato saw Ayaka's demeanor, he felt a pang of jealousy and said sarcastically, "Ayaka, how come he has time to come see you? He came here to talk to me about something."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ayaka Kamisato glared at him fiercely, which made him feel very hurt and made him even more disgusted with Chiki Ueno.

“Miss Ayaka, I’ve come here to discuss something with the head of the Kamisato family,” Ueno Chiki said honestly.

Hearing him say that, Ayaka Kamisato felt a little down.

"Chiki, it's such a shame that today's summer festival was canceled because of the Hunting Eye Ceremony. Can you come with me to next year's New Year's Festival?" Ayaka Kamisato's eyes were full of pleading.

Ueno Chiki hesitated for a moment, but quickly nodded, "Okay."

Ayaka Kamisato's face blossomed into a radiant smile, like a flower blooming in spring. "Then it's settled."

"Miss Linghua, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Under Ayaka Kamisato's somewhat reluctant gaze, Chiki Ueno's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

She turned her head and found that her brother's face was ashen, and his eyes were terrifying, as if he wanted to devour her.

"Brother, could you please not be so hostile towards Qian Shu? And what did he want to talk to you about?"

Hearing her words, Ayato Kamisato's expression softened, and she said gently, "Sister, Chiki Ueno is really not a good person, he..."

Seeing that her expression wasn't very good, he stopped his further slander against Ueno Chiki and instead recounted his conversation with her.

Ayaka Kamisato stood there quietly, her brows slightly furrowed, her hand stroking her chin, her fingers unconsciously tapping her cheek lightly.

After a long while, she asked, "Brother, do you agree with Narukami Taisha's plan?"

Ayato Kamisato hesitated for a moment, then organized his thoughts. “Ayaka, I agree with their plan. Because of all the plans, the one proposed by Narukami Taisha is the most likely to succeed, and it also has the fewest casualties.”

“Brother, I agree with this plan. Fighting against the gods is incredibly difficult; just making this decision is already extremely challenging. Moreover, her unexpected attack is unparalleled in the world. If we can reverse the gods' will and make them stand on the side of the people, that would be the best outcome.”

"But to reverse the will of the gods is as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

“Brother, just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t. I believe that the traveler and Ueno Chiki can definitely do it.”

Ayato Kamisato sighed inwardly and said to the transparent air, "Sho!"

Then, a ninja suddenly appeared in front of him without a sound. "Master."

"Lead all members of the final chapter to the Tenryo Magistrate's Office to search for evidence of collusion between the Tenryo Magistrate and the Fools, and deliver it to Narukami Taisha first thing tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Shang was about to leave when another question occurred to him, "Master, what if this evidence is destroyed and cannot be found?"

Ayato Kamisato's lips curled up slightly. "Sho, you're a seasoned forger, you should know what to do."

"Understood." Shang's figure immediately disappeared.

Chapter 66 What is Cruelty?

early morning.

A petite figure in cyan robes moved swiftly like the wind along the winding mountain path of Yingxiang Mountain, stirring up countless fallen leaves. What would normally take an ordinary person several hours to travel from the foot of the mountain to the summit, this figure covered in just half an hour.

Upon reaching the summit, she saw a young couple at the shrine entrance, with a humanoid creature flying in the air beside them, somewhat resembling the floating spirits from the island of Umijima.

As she slowly walked to the door, the blonde woman in the couple suddenly stared at her intently, her eyes gleaming with an eerie light, like a hunter eyeing its prey.

very scary!

She quickened her pace and slipped into the shrine.

Soon, she found her target under the cherry blossom tree.

“This is the evidence that the Eightfold Lord, the Heavenly Commander, and the Fools are colluding.” As she spoke, she took out a large stack of documents from her handbag.

"Little Yuzu, thank you for your hard work." Yae no Miko reached out and pinched Yuzu's cute cheek before taking the documents.

Zaoyou glared at her with her little face puffed up, "Ms. Bazhong, don't add 'little' before my name. I'm not growing taller because you always call me Little Zaoyou."

“Okay, Yuzu.” Yae no Miko replied casually, her attention already focused on the documents.

At that moment, Zaoyou noticed that the couple who had been at the door earlier had walked in.

"Hello, little raccoon, would you like to sit in my Dust Song Pot? I have lots of good stuff there." Yingmei was trying to lure the cute little girl in front of her.

Upon hearing the nickname "little raccoon," Zaoyou felt as if a cat's tail had been stepped on, and she nearly jumped up in anger. "No, I'm a raccoon dog. And don't call me 'little,' I'm already sixteen."

“But I’m at least five hundred years old,” Yingmei said proudly, holding up five fingers.

"Five hundred years old? Are you kidding me? A five hundred-year-old should be buried long ago!" Zaoyou looked Yingmei up and down, and no matter how she looked at it, the girl in front of her looked to be only about eighteen years old.

At that moment, her little face was pinched hard by Yae no Miko. "Saoyu, who are you saying should be buried at five hundred years old?"

"Eight, heavy... heavy, sir, I, I was wrong!" Zaoyou quickly begged for forgiveness.

After a long period of rough treatment, Yae no Miko finally let go.

The moment she let go, Zaoyou took off running, shouting, "Goodbye, you annoying Yaehime-sama!"

Then, it transformed into a cyan swirl and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Yingmei looked regretful; such an adorable little girl, she didn't even have a chance to kiss, hug, or lift her up high.

Then, the group waited inside the shrine for Kujo Sara's arrival.

It was almost noon when Kujo Sara finally arrived late.

"Lord Yae no Kamiko, I have arrived as promised. Please rest assured, I did not bring any attendants, and no one else will know about this trip." Kujo Sara glanced at the Radiant Maiden behind Yae no Kamiko and said coldly.

“I knew you would keep your promise, and I bet... you’ve been quite upset these past few days, maybe even having trouble sleeping.” Yae no Miko’s fox eyes narrowed slightly, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"Lord Yae-no-miya, you're overthinking it. I have no reason to doubt the head of the family." Kujo Sara's tone was firm, but her somewhat unfocused eyes betrayed her.
