Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

And the culprit...

Was it me?

This is really unpleasant...

Inatsume maintains a seemingly balanced situation, with that annoying magistrate kid, the little girl from Sangokiya, and me...

I've always wanted a fourth person to break the deadlock, but only if that person could be controlled and used by me.

But I never imagined that someone would appear who was more powerful than the three of us combined...

It's not to the point that he's worth three people, but he's definitely better than any one of them.

"Oh dear~ Lord Kuji has been silent for so long? Are you afraid that cooperating with me will turn into a deal with a tiger? No way, no way?"

Qin Ye had already turned around and started silently eating the food he hadn't finished.

"My admiration for you is like a surging river. I can't possibly fathom your thoughts, so I will absolutely not bother you. Rest assured."

"..."

An annoying kid.

Even as Yae no Kamiko pondered, Qin Ye still dared not relax.

As the other party said, he did indeed have matters that he could not bypass Yae no Miko.

First, the heart of God resides in this woman, so the original intention of being an executive officer cannot be forgotten; all calculations are only for plotting that small, broken... important item.

To put it simply, Inazuma's current situation...

Cooperative with the company → Ayato Kamisato, for the sake of family name preservation (his sister's past and present) and national stability (his sister's future) → lifts the Eye Hunting Edict and the Isolation Edict = confronts the Thunder General.

Cooperate with the rebels → Reclaim the Eye of God = Lift the Eye Hunt Order = Face the Thunder General

Scheming for the Heart of God = Winning over the Eighth Divine Child → Helping her pull her best friend out of the mire = Facing the Thunder General

Stealing the Heart of God = Eating Fox Hot Pot = Slaying the Eightfold Divine Child = Being Slashed by Wuxiang's Sword = Facing the Thunder General

Blitzkrieg...Inazuma = Facing the Thunder General.

That's why he said that Yae no Kami is very knowledgeable and sees things very clearly.

Because the core of Inazuma is the Thunder General, the plot is very clear, and no matter what, you can't get around her. Even if she is tricked, given enough time, she can react. This is the confidence of a wise person.

Similarly, regardless of whether someone is an executive officer, a seat holder, or even a traveler, as long as it's not a truly official interaction, who uses whom as a pawn depends entirely on their abilities.

No matter how she tried to trick him, Inazuma's geographical location and God's special status made him an easy target.

Which family leader would be willing to mobilize their entire household to argue with a mad dog?

Therefore, Yae no Miko always understood what moderation was and how to maintain it. Even when she repeatedly teetered on the edge of danger, it was always just a hair's breadth away, and it was difficult for her to escape unscathed.

In Inazuma, the gap between commoners and samurai, between samurai and high-ranking officials in the magistrate's office, and between everyone and the Raiden General are all difficult to overcome.

In other words, the most important thing is... having someone behind you.

Only in this way can everything be put into practice.

But what I want is never to achieve my goals by relying on anyone else; it's to make everyone feel...

Without me, no goal can be achieved.

Chapter 67 The Gambler

"There is one thing I don't understand."

Yae no Miko sat up straight.

"Please tell me, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

"Hehe~ What is it about me that makes you go to such lengths?"

Qin Ye sighed, looking somewhat helpless.

"To be honest, I want to borrow something from General Thunder. Although we Fools are the most trustworthy and always return what we borrow, it's not so easy to see General Thunder. Just take the Three Commanders for example, nobody wants to take the blame."

"Oh? So you want me, your sister Miko, to take the blame for you?"

The goddess waved her slender hand in front of her, her face full of mockery.

You really have no shame! How many days are left on your shelf life, you think you're some kind of goddess...?

After mentally greeting the other person twice, Qin Ye nodded quickly, placed his hands on either side of his face, and looked completely innocent.

"Yes, yes, only Sister Shenzi can help me, is that alright?"

You really have no shame! Your heart is black, yet you're pretending to be innocent...

The two of them surprisingly shared the same idea.

The divine child pondered this in private.

It had to be something borrowed from the general himself, and after thinking it over, that was the only one left.

It's a pity that you overlooked one thing in all your calculations: you didn't know that the thing was actually in your sister's hands.

"It's not impossible, but how could I, a mere palace attendant, influence the General's decision? Why don't you offer your advice to my sister?"

"..."

They're always thinking about taking the initiative...

The title of the new book suddenly came to mind.

Why do foxes howl at Narukami Shrine from midnight until dawn?

Regardless of whether he reveals the inside story of knowing who possesses the Heart of God, he will be summoned to confront General Thunder. Rather than arguing about this, it's better to pretend he doesn't know.

Qin Ye adopted a serious expression, his gaze deep: "Of course, but I don't know much about Inazuma, so I can't cover all the details. If something goes wrong..."

His smile gradually brightened: "The isolation order and the eye-hunting order are both things that gradually reduce our bargaining power. If we make one wrong step, it will lead to a series of mistakes..."

"..."

Yae no Miko fell into deep thought.

Indeed, as this man said, as Inazuma's contact with the outside world decreased, the Eye Hunt Order continued to deplete its internal strength and incite more voices of resistance, leaving me with fewer and fewer things to use.

Although I can't quite figure out his intentions, the Heart of God isn't that important to me or Kage. As long as Inazuma gets back on the right path, I'll win no matter what.

Most importantly, he was implying that it would be a long time before another teammate as strong as him appeared.

"Sister, after careful consideration, I think that cooperating with you is actually not a bad idea~ But shouldn't you show some sincerity?"

"Of course, I will tell you my chips."

Qin Ye spoke sincerely, enunciating each word clearly, as if afraid that the divine child might not hear him clearly.

"The Fools sent three executives this time. In order not to make the important figure of Inazuma too wary, they assigned me, the twelfth, who is the last seat, and the eleventh. He told me that he has already met you. There is also the sixth seat."

"Oh?"

The divine child recalled it carefully...

Eleventh? The cute little guy with the red scarf?

but...

"You? The twelfth seat? Him? The eleventh seat?"

Does a larger number mean greater power?

That doesn't make sense either. With this precipitous ranking, wouldn't the person in first place be no different from an ordinary person?

His expression showed a hint of disbelief.

“Yes, I am Dionysus, the twelfth seat [Fool], and he is Datalia, the eleventh seat [Prince]. In addition, there are my two handmaids, as you should know.”

The divine child had finally found something to joke about.

"Oh my, I never expected that the dignified Executive Officer would have such refined tastes in a place like Inazuma."

Qin Ye showed no embarrassment whatsoever; on the contrary, he talked about it with great relish.

"They should balance work and rest. One of them is petite and harmless, gentle and lovely, while the other is elegant, sexy, gentle and considerate. They are both girls with no bad intentions, making them a rare and perfect match."

"..."

Why do I feel like you're indirectly insulting me?

"And this sixth seat..."

The ranking of the twelve seats is somewhat questionable, but the existence of the sixth seat is probably not a lie.

"hiss..."

Qin Ye frowned, crossed his arms, and seemed to be trying hard to remember.

"Actually, as a low-ranking executive, I don't really know much about the higher-ups. The sixth seat was also assigned by a higher-ranking executive a long time ago, and I don't know his position either. Let me think... the sixth seat's name is... Scar... Scar..."

The man fell silent, somewhat embarrassed.

“I knew his hometown must be Inazuma.”

I don't know their names, but I know their hometown...

This scam is so poorly executed!

The divine child felt that this was not something the other party would say, and waited to see what would happen next.

Qin Ye slapped his forehead.

"Oh! I remember now, his name in Inazuma was... Kunibaku?"

"What did you say?"

The goddess's tone became urgent, and her eyes revealed an emotion she had never shown before.

"You and he have the same goal?"

"How could that be! He's such a big shot, we usually have a hard time even exchanging a few words with him."

Does this mean the two aren't on the same page...?

"I have one last question."
