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

Sara sat opposite him, frowning, but he did not doubt the explanation.

After all, his subordinates said that when they arrived, Araki Ichito was wiping the eaves of the roof of the Utsu-tei.

"I am very sorry, it was my negligence that allowed the scoundrel who was harassing you to escape."

Qin Ye was quite understanding and waved his hand.

"It's alright, you've already chased him away, so I can proceed with the procurement of supplies smoothly from now on."

"Then... how long will it take to make the statue of Mitakenami, the Grand Master?"

Sara asked tentatively.

"You don't need to worry about that. It will be completed in about half a month. If you need it, Lord Yaegami gave me a sample of about 1:5 scale. If you need it, it can be delivered to your residence later."

"You're too kind, there's no need for that."

Half a month is within the normal production timeframe.

She came with a sense of testing, wanting to know if the man before her was hiding anything.

Qin Ye noticed the momentary pause in thought, but he didn't reveal anything.

"Speaking of..."

Shaluo looked around but didn't see Qin Ye's female follower.

Where is your... attendant?

“Tatiana? Although it’s understandable that you’re not aware of our relationship, General, I still don’t want you to see her as my follower or henchman.”

"Feel sorry."

Kujo Sara thought about it more and more and more and more and more that something didn't feel right.

Hmm... Why does it feel like I'm always the weaker party in front of this man?

It's probably because the task wasn't completed and I felt I needed their help that I had this illusion.

"As for the others, they went to the Akisa Sentang Hot Spring across the street to soak in the hot springs."

"Leaving you all behind?"

Qin Ye's lips twitched...

He understood that this hierarchical mindset was deeply ingrained in the other person's thinking and not easy to change.

He smiled helplessly.

"General, there are some things that can't be said outright. When men and women spend too much time together, they can't maintain a proper superior-subordinate relationship."

The tengu sensed something.

"You said that before the two go to sleep, the woman takes a bath and changes clothes, washing away all makeup to reveal her most authentic self. What else could it be for?"

Kujo Sara's previously expressionless face suddenly flushed crimson.

"I'm sorry, it was me..."

Qin Ye clapped his hands, interrupting her: "It's for beauty! Your skin will absorb nutrients better after a shower... Why are you looking at me like that?"

Struggling to suppress the upward curve of his lips, the man was about to get up when he saw someone hurriedly walk in through the door.

"I'm sorry, Sara, I had some urgent business to attend to, so I'm late."

A pear-shaped girl (i.e., narrow at the top and wide at the bottom) walked into the room, dressed in black, gold, red, and purple.

Her medium-length green hair was tied up with a burgundy ribbon, and she wore the iconic demon mask armor.

The super short, tight black inner layer, with a cutout area at the chest and mesh black stockings, gives off a slightly rebellious vibe.

The shorts were made of purple-black plate panels, and the black-and-red gradient thigh-high stockings ended at the ankles.

Qin Ye raised the corners of his mouth.

Good, now all the main characters behind the scenes are here.

Hisaki Shinobu noticed that smile, and having dealt with all sorts of people, she instantly understood something.

The person in front of me was indeed not as kind as Kujo Sara had described.

She reached out and handed over her business card.

"Hello, I am Hisaki Shinobu, the second-in-command of the Araki Faction."

"Another Arata-ha?!"

Qin Ye moved back a little, his face filled with fear.

"You don't need to worry, she is a very competent deputy, a world apart from the leader of the Ara-Taki Faction."

Saro stood by and vouched for him.

The man gave an awkward smile, nodded to indicate that he understood, and cautiously introduced himself.

“Okay... alright. Hello, Miss Shinobu. I am an ordinary craftsman, and my real name is not worth mentioning.”

Hisaki Shinobu narrowed his eyes and put on a kind smile.

"I'm here today to apologize to you first. Our boss has caused you trouble."

Qin Ye quickly waved his hand.

"It's alright, it's alright. I know he didn't mean any harm. He was just startled for a moment. If we don't have a conflict, that's the best outcome for me. After all, I still have Lord Gongsi's mission on my shoulders, and I can't afford to waste any time."

"Thank you for your understanding. Although I would love for the boss to come and apologize to you as well, I regret to inform you that he is currently being hunted by the Sky Territory Enforcers and his whereabouts are unknown."

Shinobu and Sara exchanged a glance, trying to discern what was wrong with the man in front of them.

But to everyone's surprise, what they got in return was a look of deep sorrow on the other party's face.

"...Is this really true?! General Kujo, although I was disturbed for a moment, you don't need to punish him too severely. I can sense that the person's heart is not bad."

Seeing the pleading look on the man's face, I couldn't help but twitch at the corner of my mouth...

Oh no, he's a pro.

She had already secretly planned with Kujo Sara to test the waters a little, and had been eavesdropping on their conversation from the very beginning, so she seized the opportunity to intervene when Sara was about to be completely fooled by the other party.

Salo was too honest; he forgot his original purpose after a while.

"Actually, that person spoke disrespectfully to the general, which is unacceptable, so he was wanted by the authorities."

"This...this..."

Qin Ye shrank back: "Then it's definitely not something that my pleading will work."

He hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth: "At least don't punish him for multiple crimes. I've already forgiven him."

Sarashino nodded and sighed inwardly.

After being rescued by Araki Ichito, she calmed down and gradually noticed something amiss, while being given a hint by Hisaki Shinobu.

There must be some force behind this, but the problem is that the troops have already been deployed and harsh words have been spoken, yet the people have been rescued. If this news spreads, it will only make the common people gossip behind their backs.

This concerns the General and the matters to be followed by Heaven.

In other words, even if she realizes she's been deceived, she has no choice but to make the arrest, which means she has to comply with the wishes of the person behind it all.

This feeling made her very angry, and it also strengthened her resolve to find him.

While Hisaki Shinobu was prepared to rescue Araki Ichito, he could not act rashly until he confirmed the identity of the mastermind.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of effort.

So the two hit it off and set their sights on the person most likely to cause trouble.

He silently pondered to himself.

Sara said that this man had a weak personality but was kind. At first, he pleaded for the boss out of good intentions, but the second time he dared not speak up because he knew things had gotten out of hand, which was in line with his character.

If he had been chatting and laughing while asking Sara to release the people, that would have been the one to give himself away.

But my gut feeling told me that something was wrong with him.

She looked at the man, who was either acting or revealing his true personality, and frowned.

He must have some ulterior motive.

Chapter 77 Duck Friends

"Stop the water with a single arrow!"

The Eye of God flashed, and the bow and arrow swiftly took shape in Tartaglia's hands.

Arrows rained down, their tips striking the heads of each ronin with pinpoint accuracy.

"Where's the promised arrow?!"

Except for a few people of slightly higher status who were wearing armor, the others barely had time to react before losing their lives and collapsing to the ground.

The water bow instantly transformed into two sword blades. The young master charged into the remaining enemies, the water swirling and slicing across the throats of the ronin before they could even scream.

"Brother Kamo Saburo! Watch out behind you!"

Goro saw the Nobushi clan members wielding katanas approaching from behind the young master and quickly warned them.

"Excellent, this really makes me eager to get started!"

Just as D'Artagnan was getting into the swing of things, he joined the hilts of his two swords together in reverse, forming a double-headed sword. But he suddenly threw this seemingly powerful melee weapon away.

The long-handled weapon was wielded like a boomerang in his hands; the high-speed spinning double-headed blade, like a circular saw, pierced straight through Nobushiro's waist, cleaving him in two.

The boomerang circled in the air and flew back into the young master's hand.

"Inazuma actually has such a person?"

When Goro saw Dadalia's dance-like offensive among the enemy, his admiration instantly overflowed.

Such battle-hardened reflexes and perfect mastery of all weapons cannot be achieved without decades of dedicated practice.

The man in front of me is probably only around twenty years old.

In comparison, I'm... best left unmentioned.

"Aranami...Kamo Saburo!"
