Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

Let me see if you are truly capable of shouldering this responsibility, and not just...

Another family that chases power.

The moment the words fell!

An invisible yet immense pressure, like a sleeping beast awakening, descended with a thunderous roar!

It does not cause physical harm, but rather acts directly on the level of mind and will!

Overlord color and domineering!

This time, Yi Chen did not release the energy unconsciously, but precisely controlled the force, condensing it into a pure mental test, pressing down on Ayato Kamisato!

Ayato Kamisato felt the air around him suddenly become thick and heavy!

It was as if an invisible mountain had appeared out of nowhere, pressing down on his shoulders, forcing him to kneel! Forcing him to bow his head! Forcing him to reveal his inner cowardice and insignificance before this absolute "kingly" qualification!

His breath hitched, and his face turned slightly pale.

But his back remained ramrod straight, and his ever-smiling blue eyes now shone with an unprecedented sharpness and determination!

He represents not only himself, but also the century-old reputation of the Shinri family and the responsibility of "protection" that the company undertakes!

Power? Of course he needs it, but power without the corresponding capacity and responsibility is nothing but a death warrant.

He longed for change and to break the status quo, but he absolutely did not want the Kamisato family to become another Kujo or Hiiragi family!

This belief supported his spine, enabling him to withstand the mental onslaught like a raging storm, without taking a single step back!

The pressure came quickly and went quickly.

It seemed like just an illusion.

Looking at Ayato Kamisato, whose face was slightly pale but whose eyes remained clear and firm, Yi Chen's lips curled into a faint, yet much more genuine, smile.

He toned down his domineering demeanor and nodded.

There are no further comments, but these two words are enough.

Ayato Kamisato took a deep breath, suppressing the surging blood within her, and solemnly bowed to Yichen.

"The family of God will not fail in their trust."

He did not linger, maintaining proper etiquette, and took his leave.

As he walked out of the Tianling Fengxing Mansion with an air of nonchalance, the warm sunlight shining on him made him belatedly realize...

The inner garment on her back was already completely soaked with cold sweat, clinging tightly to her skin and bringing a chilling sensation.

A gentle breeze blew, and he couldn't help but shiver slightly.

The mental pressure he felt just now was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

Ayato Kamisato stood still, glanced back at the imposing mansion gate, and a complex smile slowly appeared on his face, which ultimately turned into a smile of relief and joy.

After the fear comes an indescribable excitement and anticipation.

This Mr. Yichen…

Possessing an inconceivable "physique," wielding unfathomable power, acting seemingly eccentrically yet deeply concerned for the common people, and possessing the kingly methods to see through people's hearts and test their qualifications...

"maybe…"

Ayato Kamisato murmured to himself.

"...You must be the legendary savior who can truly tear open the eternal darkness for Inazuma."

This time, he no longer regarded Yichen merely as an "interesting variable" or a "partner".

A belief called "following" began to quietly take root in this always calculating mind.

He straightened his clothes, straightened his back, and walked with more determined steps than when he came, heading towards the Kamisato-yashiki.

The sky over Inazuma may really be about to change.

His family, in particular, must be fully prepared to be worthy of the "savior's" trust and trials to come.

Not long after Ayato Kamisato returned to his Kamisato residence, before the tea was even brewed, some noises were heard outside the courtyard.

A ninja from the final chapter appeared silently and respectfully presented two documents that had just been urgently delivered by the Heavenly Commander.

The first document was a formal and carefully worded official document, which clearly stated that some of the security patrols and some area defense authority originally belonging to the Heavenly Command would be immediately transferred to the jurisdiction of the Society's Divine Family.

At the end was Yi Chen's signature, bold and powerful, and the vermilion seal of Tianling Fengxing.

The transfer of military power was so swift and decisive, without any hesitation!

Even though Ayato Kamisato was mentally prepared, his fingertips still trembled slightly as he held the heavy document.

This is not a test, not an empty promise, but real power!

That Mr. Yichen has such courage!

However, before he could fully appreciate its weight, his attention was completely drawn to the "second gift" that followed.

Those weren't documents, they were two whole carts!

The truck was piled high with countless files and documents!

A high-ranking official stood beside the carriage and gave a strange bow.

"Lord Kamisato, this was sent on the orders of the acting lord. The acting lord also said..."

Yu Li paused, seemingly finding it somewhat difficult to speak, but still repeated what he had said verbatim.

"...'In that case, the company commander won't be able to relax with tea and flowers because he doesn't have official duties. You're welcome.'"

After finishing speaking, Yuri quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Ayato Kamisato's expression.

Ayato Kamisato was taken aback at first, then quickly walked to the two carts and picked up the top document.

It is a detailed report and draft recommendations on handling the backlog of goods stranded on outlying islands.

He picked up another one.

These are petitions from villagers and investigation files related to a land dispute in Konta Village.

This is a compilation of clues related to investigating and prosecuting corruption among lower-level officials…

These documents are all tedious, tricky, yet closely related to people's livelihoods!

Moreover, many of them are clearly only half-processed or require further verification and implementation!

That Mr. Yichen actually took over most of the most troublesome and time-consuming "hard bone" from his Tianling Fengxing's desk!

It even came with this thoughtful note!

After a moment of silence, Ayato Kamisato looked at the two carts of documents, then at the official document in his hand that symbolized military power, and finally couldn't help but rub his forehead and chuckle softly.

The laughter rose from low to high, filled with an indescribable sense of absurdity and... a strange sense of exhilaration.

This Mr. Yichen... is really interesting!

On the one hand, they gave him trust and power, and on the other hand, they unhesitatingly dumped the most tiring and difficult work on him, while also responding to his earlier teasing question about whether he was "idle".

This isn't cooperation; it's clearly hiring a capable "laborer"!

But Ayato Kamisato was willing to do this "hard labor," and even enjoyed it.

Because behind these documents lies Yi Chen's determination to reform Dao Qi, his sincerity in sharing power, and his recognition and test of his own and the Shen Li family's abilities!

Ayato Kamisato stopped laughing, turned around, and his face was full of energy, his eyes burning with a challenging flame that had not appeared for a long time.

Thomas quickly stepped forward: "Master?"

Ayato Kamisato pointed to the two carts of documents, a smile playing on his lips.

"Summon all the retainers and servants who are literate, skilled in writing, and knowledgeable in practical matters."

"Tonight, we'll work late into the night."

Thomas looked at the two "mountains of books," then at his patriarch's eager expression, as if he had obtained some treasure. His lips twitched slightly, but he immediately bowed and replied:

"Yes, Master!"

Soon, the Shinto Yashiki was brightly lit, and the once elegant and quiet courtyard and side hall were transformed into temporary offices. Retainers hurried in and out, and the sounds of abacuses, writing, and hushed discussions filled the air.

With Ayato Kamisato in charge, he personally reviewed and assigned tasks, achieving astonishing efficiency.

He occasionally looked up, his gaze towards the direction of the Heavenly Territory's administration carrying a mixture of helplessness, admiration, and above all, a soaring fighting spirit.

Mr. Yichen, my family accepts this "return gift".

Just wait and see.

Chapter 8 Kujo Family

The night in Kamisato Yashiki was brightly lit and bustling with activity because of the two cartloads of unexpected official documents.

But this busyness did not disturb the elegant and tranquil Japanese-style room deep inside.

Ayaka Kamisato—Inazuma's renowned "White Heron Princess"—is kneeling before a desk, practicing calligraphy with elegant posture.

With her brush tip fully dipped in ink, she left elegant and refined characters on the rice paper, just like the impression she gives to the outside world: elegant, gentle, and flawless.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that her writing today seems less concise than usual, with occasional slight pauses.

Her mind was clearly not completely absorbed in writing.

The faint, unusually hurried footsteps and whispers coming from outside, along with the ever-burning light in her brother's study, were impossible for her to ignore.

Finally, after a barely perceptible tremor appeared at the turning point of a certain word under her pen, she gently put down her pen.

she called softly.

Thomas, who had been quietly waiting outside the door, immediately opened the paper door and bowed: "Young Miss, what are your orders?"

Linghua nodded slightly, her demeanor impeccable.

"There seems to be some unusual noise outside. Is it something important from my brother's side?"

Thomas gave a wry smile, but also a hint of excitement.

“Yes, Miss, it is indeed an important matter. It concerns the newly appointed acting magistrate of the Heavenly Territory, Mr. Kujo Itsuki…”

He succinctly recounted the events of the day, including the master's visit, Yichen's test, the handover of military power, and the two cartloads of official documents that could be considered "return gifts."

Linghua listened quietly; she had heard of the boy named "Kujou Itsuki" before.

Rumors about his sudden arrival as the magistrate of the Heavenly Territory, his swift and decisive actions, his annihilation of the Evil Eye Factory, and even his frightening of the Fools' Enforcers had already spread like wildfire among the high-ranking officials of Inazuma City.

However, most of the rumors are vague and contain derogatory and questioning remarks, suggesting that he is just another reckless man who relies on force and does not understand politics.

But now, after hearing Thomas recount his brother's personal experience... this Mr. Yichen seems to be completely different from the rumors.

He possessed a terrifying aura that even put pressure on his elder brother, yet he used it as a test of his collaborators' "capacity".

He handed over his precious military power without hesitation, but then dumped a mountain of tedious official duties on him, a mix of childish "revenge" and complete trust.

These contradictory qualities intertwine to create an image that is completely beyond Ayaka's comprehension.

Powerful yet exhausted, dignified yet childlike, generous yet "vengeful"... what kind of person is he?

"Brother... seems to value this Mr. Yichen highly?"

Linghua asked softly, her fingertips unconsciously brushing against the still-wet ink.

"Yes, although the patriarch was both amused and exasperated by those two truckloads of documents, it was clear that he was very excited, even... delighted. Mr. Yichen's approach, though...unique, seemed to be exactly what the patriarch wanted."

Linghua nodded slightly and asked no further questions.

She picked up her brush again, trying to continue the unfinished calligraphy, but her mind had already wandered far away.

Princess Egret received a strict education from a young age, and her words and actions had to conform to her status. Most of what she saw and heard was "proper" and "elegant" as instructed.

Even when they resisted the Eye Hunting Order, they mostly did so through covert support and subtle maneuvering.

But this Mr. Yichen was like a bolt of lightning that struck through the gloomy clouds without warning, or a strong, wild, and unrestrained wind of freedom, barging into the stagnant waters of Inazuma and stirring up the situation in a way that was completely illogical and even somewhat "reckless".

This completely different style of doing things made her frown slightly, yet she couldn't help but feel an indescribable... curiosity and desire to explore.

She imagined the young man collapsed from exhaustion amidst a pile of documents, then imagined his imposing presence as he scare away a formidable enemy with a single glance, and finally imagined the sly smile that might accompany him as he casually tossed out two cartloads of files…

These images, when combined, create a unique and captivating allure.

After a long silence, Ayaka spoke again.
