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

The young master glanced at it, his face full of doubt: "What is this?"

"The brilliant plan that Lord Coral Palace gave me."

"?"

If you give me this, I could use it as a brick. So this is what normal clever strategies are like?

I thought that only partners who could calculate everything perfectly could truly be called brilliant strategies. They might not remember a few pages at a time, but their calculations would be flawless.

Even if he doesn't do something well, he can always smooth things over for me afterwards.

"Brother Wulang, if we encounter an emergency, will you still turn the pages one by one?"

"No way, can't I just find it by flipping through the pages?"

Goro looked puzzled. Wasn't this something any normal person could do?

"..."

I understand. Not only are Lord Coral Palace and his companions not the same type of people, but this little dog general and I are also not the same type of subordinate. I'm the type who memorizes everything, while he's the type who understands reading comprehension.

Wait a minute, I think, I should, I seem to be an executive officer too? When did I start positioning myself as a subordinate of a partner?

Moreover, I have eleven seats, while he has twelfth.

Forget it, he's a subordinate. It's great to win without lifting a finger and still have to fight. Either way, it's a win.

"We've arrived, Brother Kamo Saburo."

Aranami Kamozaburo and Goro traversed through numerous villages and finally arrived at the main gate of the Coral Palace.

"Witch... priestess."

Upon seeing the familiar attire of the person at the door, the young master subconsciously took a half-step back.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing. Upon closer inspection, this shrine maiden outfit is actually quite pretty."

Thankfully, it's not the same color scheme, otherwise I thought a fox would have jumped out of it too.

"Goro, is there a guest near Kaigijima today... oh??"

Looking towards the sound, a cute girl with pink hair walked slowly towards them. Her princess-cut hairstyle made her look like a fairy from a dragon palace.

Her clothing, primarily in shades of blue-green and light blue, gave her an impression of nobility, tranquility, and peace.

The dress on her back resembled a fishtail train, adding a sense of movement to the girl while elongating her figure. In addition to highlighting her curves, it also added a touch of cuteness.

Her lower body was clad in ultra-low-waisted shorts, which perfectly showcased her full and slender legs.

What's most captivating is her pair of white stockings, which add a touch of childlike innocence to her otherwise composed and mature demeanor.

Although Goro wasn't good at reading people, having followed Shinkai for a long time, he could tell that Kamo Saburo's appearance was not unexpected.

He told Coral Palace Heart Sea every detail that happened outside the island, afraid of missing anything.

"I see. Thank you for everything you've done for Haiji Island."

Xin Hai bowed politely to express his gratitude.

"Haha...you're too kind, you're too kind."

D'Artagnan chuckled and scratched his head, but then suddenly remembered his companion's words.

'Don't underestimate that living, divine priestess; someone who appears cute and gentle might very well use that to set a trap.'

He immediately resumed his serious expression.

Listen to your partner.jpg

Xin Hai realized this and understood that the man before her was merely a representative sent by someone; whether he was friend or foe...

Which faction of Inazuma is it? Or is it that unidentified benefactor?

"Haizhi Island is currently in a special period and happens to be short-staffed. I wonder if you would be willing to take a position with us?"

"Of course, it's more like we couldn't ask for it."

D'Artagnan followed his partner's lead perfectly, knowing that he couldn't afford to make any mistakes; if anything went wrong, it would be entirely his fault.

Xin Hai nodded.

I see. Their attitude towards Haiqi Island is rather extreme; they either offer assistance and become allies, or they deliberately feign friendliness while secretly gathering intelligence to undermine the Haiqi Army from within. But judging from the man's behavior...

The possibility of him being an undercover agent is so small that it can be negligible.

"Do you have any other friends who have been treated unfairly in Inazuma City? If so, we are happy to take them all in."

"this..."

The young master hesitated slightly.

“I do have a good companion, but he still holds a position in Inazuma Castle, and if possible, I don’t want him to wander with me. But you know the situation in Inazuma Castle now, who knows when… haha.”

Hmm...does that mean you'll be there soon?

"Are you skilled in combat?"

This is also the point that Xin Hai is most concerned about.

Before Tadalia could reply, Goro preemptively answered, "Lord Coral Palace, I swear on my honor that he is a master in combat who far surpasses me."

“If that’s what Goro says, then of course I believe him.”

Xin Hai smiled and encouraged the little dog.

In other words, a martial artist was specially sent to help me clear obstacles within my territory.

Based on this, could they be friendly forces?

"We never make things difficult for guests who have come from afar. Would you be willing to take on such an easy job as transportation?"

The man in front of her looked embarrassed.

"Hiss... Well, taking too long might not work. I'm afraid I'll mess it up. Actually, I'm not really suited for a quiet job."

"Then let's go to the front lines—"

Xin Hai deliberately drew out a long syllable to test the waters, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Hehe, I was just kidding, don't take it to heart."

“The front line is not out of the question, but I am not ready to fight the Shogunate army. After all, I just came from there.”

The young master seemed quite embarrassed.

...My partner has been making me refuse her all the time.

"It's alright, Brother Kamo Saburo, I will never make things difficult for you!"

Goro made a solemn promise, and his tail stood straight up.

Xin Hai and the young master both smiled kindly at him without saying a word.

I sent him here to fight, but if you use my men as cannon fodder... don't blame me.

Xin Hai translated the meaning behind the words.

"How about this? I will promote you to squad leader and have you work under Goro to handle the affairs of Haizhi Island together."

"Okay, okay!" Goro's tail kept wagging.

"Thank you for your trust, but am I perhaps lacking in credibility?"

D'Artagnan declined.

"Of course not! Brother Kamo Saburo! With your strength, the soldiers will definitely welcome you!"

Upon hearing that the other party intended to refuse, the little dog general hurriedly tried his best to persuade them to stay.

"As Goro said, you don't need to worry about the issues behind this."

The young master pretended to think, his expression conflicted for a moment before slowly nodding: "In that case, I cannot refuse."

Afterwards, Xin Hai inquired about the modules that the young master might be responsible for one by one, and finally decided to let him deal with the sea monsters that had recently been rampant on Haiqi Island.

She had completely sorted out the intentions of the person behind the scenes.

The first rejection means that the person does not want to take the opportunity to disrupt Haiqi Island, which means that they do not want to be my enemy. The second acceptance means that they will definitely provide strong support when we are not on guard against each other.

They have a thorough understanding of the current situation on Haigi Island, down to the precise details of the sea demon calamity.

Xin Hai has basically confirmed the identity of the person behind it all.

Although I don't know what will happen after that person arrives, I can finally get a few good nights' sleep recently.

"Goro, take Mr. Aranami for a stroll around Umijima Island."

"Yes!"

The girl walked back to the Coral Palace with cheerful steps, humming a tune involuntarily.

Tadalia and Goro tilted their heads to the left and right respectively.

Why is Lord Coral Palace suddenly so happy?

Why did she suddenly become happy?

The young master's brows furrowed but quickly relaxed as he clapped his hands.

I understand! This must be thanks to my partner!

(I came into contact with the people who sent the supplies today. It's very likely that Haiqi Island will receive an unexpected reinforcement. I'm happy. Energy +5)

Chapter 81 The Fool Has Been Fooled?

"Is everything ready now?"

The girl followed Qin Ye's side, concealing her aura, making her seem almost invisible to others.

"Pretty much. After that, it mainly depends on how the shrine magistrate arranges things. They and Narukami Taisha support each other, so they can definitely do more than I can."

Then Ichito and Hisaki Shinobu will no longer be facing a kind and gentle man like me, but rather someone like Kamisato Ayato whose cunning makes people feel trypophobia.

"Columbia, are you alright?"
