Chapter 366

"Miss, I am Kamisato Ayaka, the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, Yashiro Commission of the Kamisato Clan. I know you have many questions. It was Kujou Sara who entrusted you to us, hoping you can rest and recover here. Saro also said that if you have any questions after you wake up, you can write to her..."

"The grain seeds... my high-yield grain seeds, and the old people in the village, are they still around?"

"I really don't know the situation either. I can write to her to ask. We have a special channel, and it's very fast. You don't need to worry."

"Ask her, ask her!"

Kaguya grabbed Kamisato Ayaka's wrist, her own face pale and weak, yet she used a force that caused Kamisato Ayaka pain. She looked down at Kamisato Ayaka face to face, her empty eyes seemingly filled with an intense, almost insane, obsession.

Kamisato Ayaka was stunned by this incredibly strong emotion.

"Okay... okay, I'll write to ask right away. Don't worry, you need to rest."

Kaguya still gripped Kamisato Ayaka's wrist tightly, actually admiring the pitiful expression of the young lady as she frowned slightly in pain, though her face remained empty and hinted at madness.

After a long while, Kaguya finally released Kamisato Ayaka's hand.

Kamisato Ayaka managed a reassuring smile.

"My lady, although I don't know the details, whatever has happened, the first priority is to survive in order to have a future. I will write a letter right away, but you also need to take good care of yourself so that you can read Saro Sara's reply, okay?"

"...good."

Kaguya responded.

Although his expression remained numb and empty, which was deeply worrying, at least he responded.

Kamisato Ayaka breathed a slight sigh of relief, then quickly got up and went out to write a letter.

"Hiss--"

Stepping outside, Kamisato Ayaka rolled up her sleeve to look at her wrist and, sure enough, saw the red marks left by the scratch.

"Young Miss, how could this be? She's gone too far. How could she do such a thing to you?"

"Don't say anything more. There must be a deep reason why she's like this. No wonder Saro entrusted us with taking care of her. If we sent her to the Kujou Clan, given the atmosphere Kujou Clan... Sigh. Anyway, take good care of her and make sure nothing goes wrong, understand?"

"Yes, Ayaka!"

Kamisato Ayaka smiled as she watched the servant leave, then sighed, forced to consider Kaguya's words.

"What kind of grain? And which village? Could it be connected to someone like Saro?"

I always felt that my brother's considerations might be somewhat lacking.

This exchange of favors may not be as simple as it seems.

Regardless, Kamisato Ayaka still wrote the letter as instructed, recounting Kaguya's awakening and the questions she had asked. Then, after some further thought, Kamisato Ayaka inquired about the specifics of Kaguya's situation from Kujou Sara.

That obsessive, bordering on madness, was anything but ordinary.

Whether for Kaguya's sake or for Kujou Sara, one of the few upright military officers in the current corrupt political climate, Kamisato Ayaka wanted to help. However, without knowing the truth, she couldn't offer any assistance.

After finishing the letter, she read it through again. Once she confirmed that nothing was missing, Kamisato Ayaka used the Yashiro Commission's own channels to quickly send it to the front lines at Kannazuka.

At the front lines, Kujou Sara received a letter. Seeing Kaguya awaken, a great weight was lifted from her heart these past few days. But when she saw Kaguya's questioning, her heart skipped a beat.

"..."

Sure enough, the first thing she did after waking up was to check on the grain seeds and the village.

However, the men's careful search through the ashes yielded neither intact crops nor any survivors from the village.

If we were to give that answer to the past...
