Chapter 371
However, if the object is Kujou Sara, then it becomes understandable.
If that tengu's words are true, she might actually abandon the Kujou Clan's stance.
"Does the gentleman mean to show her your blood-written letter first? But she is, after all, the adopted daughter of the Kujou Clan. It's hard to say whether her gratitude to Kujou or her loyalty to the shogun is more important."
"Lord of the Palace, please give her the document and confirm her stance. Then, if she disregards the greater good of the nation... I don't want the document to be exposed to the Tenryou Commission prematurely, and I certainly don't want to see her in the dueling arena. Can you do that?"
Kaguya inquired. Her tone was gentle, yet her words carried a hint of chilling intent.
To some extent, this is also an act of rebellion, inciting the rebellious followers of Electro Archon.
Yae Miko didn't care about Kaguya's attitude; after a moment's thought, she nodded.
The article has clearly described Inazuma's depraved situation. At this point, if that little tengu still can't see the bigger picture, it's time to make a decision: kill him or imprison him.
"Actually, with the help of the High Priest, we could easily have slaughtered all Three Commissions. However, the root of the problem lies in the Tenshukaku. If the Shogun doesn't open his eyes and realize this, everything will be in vain. The Duel Before the Throne was just a momentary outburst, but the more I think about it, the more I feel I have to go. In short, I'm leaving everything to the High Priest."
"I will go see Kujou Sara right now."
Yae Miko left quickly.
Firstly, she really needed to hurry. Secondly, she couldn't help Kaguya with her situation, and the more she faced it, the more guilty and reluctant she felt; she might as well just do something about it.
Only Kaguya and Ayaka remained in the room.
"Kaguya... Kaguya, don't look at me like that."
"Oh? Why are you looking at me?"
Kaguya smiled and gently stroked Kamisato Ayaka's face.
Kamisato Ayaka hadn't expected things to change so quickly.
Kaguya didn't expect to win him over so quickly.
It can only be said that Kamisato Ayaka is too naive, and Kaguya's character design this time is too much of a match for her ideal type.
However, now that things have come to this point, the greedy Kaguya naturally won't let go.
Kamisato Ayaka Kaguya behind, her gentle and submissive demeanor making her ask curiously:
"Kaguya, can you tell me about your past?"
"The past? Most of it is blurry. I only remember walking through many places in Inazuma and unknowingly arriving at today. Compared to that, I would rather hear about Ayaka's past."
"Me? I'm nothing special. I've just been learning calligraphy, kendo, chess, and stuff like that since I was little. I also help my brother communicate with many people about various issues, and..."
"There's another person hiding away, secretly reading storybooks?"
Kaguya smiled and added, raising her hand to affectionately pinch Ayaka's delicate nose.
Kamisato Ayaka's face immediately flushed red, looking ashamed that her embarrassing past had been exposed, and she said:
"That was all... it was just a coincidence, don't laugh at me!"
"Haha, I think it's cute."
"Ah!"
Kamisato Ayaka is pure and innocent in every way, especially when it comes to emotions. Therefore, she is completely susceptible to teasing and immediately covered her face and ran away.
Kaguya watched her hurried departure, rested her hand on the table, propped her chin on her hand, and smiled.
"See? I told you it was cute."
[Tsk, I know you're capable, stop showing off.]
[Also, in that case, your clone can't afford to die, otherwise she'll be heartbroken.]
Kaguya nodded helplessly.
We really need to tone it down a bit. It's a real shame; I was originally planning to give Electro Archon something like a lifelong regret.
Kaguya gazed outside, awaiting Yae Miko's reply. She had gotten in touch with Yae Miko through Kamisato Ayato, and then used Yae no Yae Miko to deal with Kujou Sara. Tools should be used properly; doing everything herself wouldn't fit the style of a dark mastermind.
That very evening, Yae Miko gave a reply.
"The little tengu is furious. She will help."
"It seems my first glance wasn't wrong; there's still hope for her."
"If your advice is successful, what do you think should be done next?"
"The first step, of course, is to open the country's borders and purchase grain, as the memorial suggests, to prevent the famine from spreading further. The second step... is to kill, to kill indiscriminately, from the very top of the Three Commissions to the very bottom. The third step is to restore order to the country, pacify the world, and restart domestic construction."
Kaguya spoke calmly.
Yae Miko listened calmly.
