The two of them took their seats.

"It would be wonderful if the whole world was like this sake."

Kamisato Ayato stared at the sake in front of him, as if hinting at something.

"My small shop has recently attracted even some big shots who often visit the magistrate's office. It seems that there are indeed undercurrents in the Inazuma world."

"That's true. But thank you to the people of Inazuma for your hard work."

"Tianling Fengxing always believes in the power of the general. The general's choice must have its meaning."

"maybe."

Seeing that the other party did not want to participate, Kamisato Ayato did not force him. He just left a piece of paper and got up and left Wuyou Pavilion.

"wish you have a good business."

"Thank you for your kind words, Lord Kamisato."

As soon as I walked out of the store, I met Kujo Takayuki.

"I didn't expect that the great Lord Tianling Fengxing would have such a refined taste."

"Humph, young man from Kamisato's family, you can come as a clerk, so why can't I?"

"Of course, I'm just surprised that you can come to Wuyou Pavilion despite your busy schedule."

"This Wuyou Pavilion was opened by a capable person in charge of my Tianling. Of course, I have to take care of it. But you, the society manager..."

"The Shebushi is quite quiet right now, not at all like the Tianlingbushi who is busy."

"I'm afraid the head of the Kamisato family doesn't have that much free time."

He knew that this was Kamisato Ayato's secret usurpation of the power of the community.

But how clean could the Kamisato family be? The final scene just gave his subordinates a warning.

What happened to your final episode?

After the verbal confrontation, the two parted unhappily.

Inside the Wuyou Pavilion, Okazaki Rikuto was holding the page of paper left by Kamisato Ayato, his face looking very ugly.

Seeing Kujo Bugyo slowly approaching, he finally couldn't help but speak:

"Xiao Xing, stop it!"

Chapter 14: Beware of Kamisato Ayato's Winter Card

The paper left by Kamisato Ayato contains a record of Kujo Takayuki's recent secret contacts with the Fatui.

Although there is no substantial evidence to prove that the two are secretly colluding or exchanging interests.

But for Okazaki Rikuto, it was just a louse on a bald man's head - it was obvious.

Why did Kujo Takayuki suddenly possess such strange power and was able to accurately find the handles of his subordinates one after another?

Why did many of his colleagues in the shogunate remain silent and watch Kujo Takayuki do whatever he wanted?

Why do opponents either retire "voluntarily" like him or die unexpectedly but reasonably.

Okazaki Rikuto even suspected that the changes in the Kamisato family were also secretly instigated by Kujo Takayuki.

At this time, Kujo Takayuki had already walked close to Okazaki Rikuto and also saw the contents on that page of paper.

Okazaki Rikuto did not shy away from it.

[The kid from Kamisato family is here to deliver this? 】

"These things in your hand alone don't prove anything. As the Fatui are a foreign delegation, isn't it normal for me to meet with them?"

"How come I don't know when it will be Tianling Bugyo's turn to receive foreign envoys?"

"Lu Dou, it's been a while since you left Tianling Bughang. It's normal that you don't know. There was some chaos in She Bughang some time ago, so naturally I will take over temporarily."

"what!"

Okazaki Rikuto said with disdain.

He didn't believe this ghost story.

"If you firmly believe that I have overstepped my authority, then why not go and see the general and ask him to punish me."

"..."

What will happen if I go?

Okazaki Rikuto fell into silence.

Just as Kujo Takayuki said, he simply received the envoys from the Kingdom of Winter without authorization, which was suspected of overstepping his authority, that's all.

As for secretly colluding with the Fatui?

Just because you say it is collusion, it is collusion?

What about the evidence?

Considering that Kujo Takayuki has been working diligently in front of the Shogun for so many years, this is really no big deal.

With a little effort, at most you'll be criticized, ordered to make corrections, and then meet the Fatui in a more covert way.

Okazaki Rikuto suddenly recalled the past.

When he and Kujo Takayuki just met.

How could the shogunate soldier who once shouted "The way is magnificent and the gods are eternal" and was willing to give everything for Inazuma, begin to collude with foreign forces such as the Fatui to disrupt Inazuma?

How could that passionate and chivalrous young man in the shogunate army become what he is today?

He looked at Kujo Takayuki and felt that the person in front of him was becoming more and more unfamiliar.

Since when...

"Kujo, you've changed."

Okazaki Rikuto said this.

"Everyone has to change, Lu Dou, I am just trying to realize the eternal ideals of the general."

"eternal?"

"As long as the general is still here, as long as the general swings the sword without thinking, then what are the Fatui, what is the Kingdom of Winter? Even the Queen of Ice, what can she do?"

"Is this your confidence in seeking the skin of a tiger?"

"good."

Looking at the somewhat crazy expression on the other person's face, for some reason, Okazaki Rikuto suddenly felt a little tired.

"I'm old, and I'm a little bit powerless."

"Kujo, the kid from Kamisato's family came to me and told me nothing. He only left me this page. I'm old and don't want to get involved in anything anymore."

Kujo Takayuki looked at the page again and confirmed that it only contained some records of his recent meetings with the Fatui, including time, place, and people, but nothing else.

This thing doesn't pose any threat.

"Lu Dou, you are a smart man. Now that you are old, you should take a good rest and stop doing anything stupid."

After saying that, Kujo Takayuki turned around and left Wuyou Pavilion.

Only Okazaki Rikuto was left sitting by the fire, head lowered, thinking about recent events.

The soaring prices, the unaffordable rice, the vendors in the nearby snack street who were blackmailed time and time again, and the disaster victims outside Inazuma Castle who, although he couldn't see them, were already starving beyond recognition.

There is also Kujo Takayuki who has fallen into madness, and those fools who are doing evil things.

[If the so-called eternity is such suffering, then it is better not to have this eternity! ]

Thinking of this, he raised his head and made his own decision.

Find paper and pen and write down a line of ancient Liyue poetry.

"Erika, please go and give it to Kou at the Mokuro Teahouse. Be careful."

He called his wife Erika and tore off the paper with the two lines of poetry, turning it into a small note.

Considering that the road is not safe, it would be more appropriate to entrust the action to a professional like Erika.

Erika didn't say much, just took the note and started disguising herself.

Anyway, she believed in the decisions made by her husband.

After a while, Erika left Wuyouting.

Several strong men around immediately followed, but the other party just dodged a few times and they could no longer find any trace of him.

"Damn, it must be Erika. Who else but her could be so skilled."

"Go and report!"

The spy outside the Mulou Teahouse received this small note.

However, she did not move, but continued to keep watch here.

The master of the house had already told me early in the morning not to worry about receiving Miss Erika's things and just hand them over during the shift change.

She was still watching Tianling Fengxing and his men eating, drinking and having fun not far away.

The other party even raised a glass to her from a distance.

[It seems that he didn't notice Erika-san at all. 】

It was not until the evening shift change that Shao handed the note to Zhongxi.

Nakanishi was then responsible for handing it over to Kamisato Ayato.

It was already evening when Kamisato Ayato saw the note.

When I opened the note, the content was exactly what I expected.

The general meaning is similar.

"As expected, Mr. Okazaki cannot accept the Fatui coming to disrupt the situation."

This way, he has one more card to play and can do more things.

------

The perspective turns to Iwasaki Masaru.

After returning to the site, we began to submit the mission report.

Overall, everything was normal, except for the light novel press requested by Yaedo, the involvement of the company's executive officer, and the arrival of the Southern Cross Fleet.

Secondly, it is to urge people.

We have already talked to the bosses here, but when will the manpower arrive?

The report was sent out quickly.

With nothing to do, Iwasaki Masanori began to continue writing his own light novels.

Of course, he already had good reasons for writing a light novel this time.

[Can be used to get closer to Yae-miya-sama. 】

This is a job requirement!

Aboveboard!

A few days later, Iwasaki Masa received a reply from Coral Palace.

The editorial team will set out tomorrow and arrive within a week; they agree to Yaedo's request and suggest opening a light novel newspaper first to test the waters and warm up the market; they require maintaining a good cooperative relationship with the company, especially paying close attention to the siblings Kamisato Ayato and Kamisato Ayaka.

Kamisato Ayaka?

Iwasaki was thinking of the famous White Egret Princess.

There is also a special request: visit the Naganohara fireworks shop to seek the formula for high-powered gunpowder?
