Kujou Sara's Loss of Composure
"A samurai who cannot even resist this little temptation is not worthy of being called a samurai."
Raiden Ei looked at Venti and said.
"Mmm..." Venti nodded quickly. Then, he took out a bottle of wine from his pocket and started drinking it directly Tenshukaku.
While drinking, he complained, "I don't know what's going on here in Inazuma, but everyone drinks so sparingly. Most people who drink at night can't even finish a small bottle of sake after three or four hours. How am I supposed to get them to invite me to drink with them? This bottle of sake is something I won in a bet with an Oni, who's probably the most generous guest in Inazuma."
"So, you tricked him?"
Shadow asked Venti.
"If he himself doesn't realize it's a trap, then it's not a trap."
Venti answered confidently.
The shadow ignored him and was about to return to the Sanctum of Euthymia.
Seeing that Ying was about to return to the Sanctum of Euthymia, Venti remembered Zhongli's instructions and quickly said, "By the way, Ying, I just remembered something. The old man asked me to tell you."
"What is it?"
Hearing that Morax had something to tell him, Shadow asked in confusion.
Venti quickly said, "There is a remnant of Gods god's soul residing in Bai Ye's body. That remnant soul is an old friend of the old man. You must not attack that remnant soul because of a misunderstanding."
That Dust Gods Hagintos, is the old man's closest Gods. If something were to happen to her...
Even someone as unconventional as Venti couldn't help but shudder at the thought of that situation.
"Okay, I understand."
Ying frowned, but nodded nonetheless.
Kujou Sara led Bai Ye toward the inn on the Ritou of Inazuma. It was the place where foreign envoys had stayed before Inazuma began enforcing the Inazuma Sakoku Decree. With Bai Ye's Inazuma hastily decorated it as Bai Ye new residence.
As she walked with Bai Ye, Kujou Sara found that her gaze kept drifting back.
"Why is my gaze fixed on him? Is it because of this inner urge to protect him? I want to protect him, yes, that must be it..."
Kujou Sara refused to acknowledge her own thoughts and instead found a reason for herself.
Putting everything else aside, how could anyone not cherish and protect such an earnest and adorable young man?
As Hu Tao walked, she noticed that Kujou Sara's gaze was always fixed on Bai Ye. Feeling unhappy, she walked to Bai Ye's side to block Kujou Sara's view.
Your gazes towards Bai Ye are filled with unhealthy thoughts.
With her view blocked like this, Kujou Sara immediately felt a little anxious.
What could she possibly say?
There is no reason.
Kujou Sara felt like she was being tortured.
Seeing Kujou Sara's reaction, Ayato secretly shook his head.
Pity...
She was still bound by her own samurai rules and dared not act rashly.
However, Ayato, though adept at reading people's hearts, was not one to seek pleasure. After thinking this through his mind, he put it aside and had no desire to see this serious samurai 'fall' into depravity.
It's probably best to be wary of your younger sister right now.
Just now, Hu Tao had been using her body to block her sister. Now that she's gone to stop Kujou Sara, Bai Ye's side is now free.
Ayaka first glanced cautiously at her brother, and finding that he didn't seem to notice her, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Bai Ye.
But after only a few seconds, Shenhe stood between Ayaka and Bai Ye again.
Competing with Hu Tao and fighting with Xiangling is already difficult enough. The worst thing is to add new 'enemies' to the mix.
Hagintos clearly saw the movements of these four people. At this moment, in the mind of her remnant soul Bai Ye, she crossed her legs and laughed as she said to Bai Ye, "My Little Bai Ye, in this situation, I can only think of one solution."
"What method?"
Upon hearing his teacher say that it could be resolved, Bai Ye immediately pressed for answers in his mind.
"Of course, we'll divide you into pieces, and everyone will get a piece. That way it's fair and everyone will agree."
"Hagintos said to Bai Ye."
"Teacher, if I am really dismembered, will you still be able to retain your remnant soul?"
"Oh, that makes sense." Hagintos quickly said to Bai Ye, "So you'd better get my remnant soul out of here quickly."
"Then I can only guarantee that I can get it into that mechanism for you."
It's like a Gundam-like mechanism. At most, I tried my best to make it look like Unit-01.
"Then you should protect yourself. Ideally, you should master the technology to revive even if you're dismembered."
"To be loved by everyone and to be resurrected. Teacher, I don't want to be Tomie."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye immediately felt that it sounded very familiar.
"Tomie? What's that?"
Hagintos asked curiously.
"Oh, it's a character from a horror comic book in my world..."
Bai Ye recounted the comic's plot and the Hagintos.
However, upon hearing this, Hagintos objected.
"Go away, go away, that's not like it at all. My schoolgirl is so cute, how could she be like that? You, you're not some evil that causes trouble, you have to become a hero who saves the world. And then, I'll become the teacher of the hero who saves the world."
I am the best, and my classmate is second only to me. He will become an unparalleled hero, and no one but me can say that Little Bai Ye is not good.
Even he himself doesn't believe it.
"I will try my best."
Bai Ye nodded.
"Yes, your teacher will always be there for you as you become a hero who saves the world."
"Hagintos said seriously."
Halfway there, Bai Ye was surprised to see several warriors surrounding a Mondstadt merchant.
It seems that something is being threatened.
Bai Ye frowned and asked Kujou Sara, "What's going on on the Ritou?"
As he said this, he was about to go and take a look.
Before the lifting of the Sakoku Decree, foreign merchants on the Ritou faced considerable discrimination and exploitation. Now that Bai Ye has witnessed this and has the ability to intervene, he naturally intends to inquire about it.
What are these guys doing?
Hu Tao clenched her fists and shouted. She walked over to Bai Ye's side.
Shenhe remained silent, following behind Bai Ye.
Kujou Sara looked in that direction, her brows furrowing.
"How could a samurai Kanjou Commission have fallen to such a low level?"
Extorting merchants is not something a samurai should do.
When Bai Ye saw this, he went over without thinking, which was even more in line with the image that Kujou Sara had in mind.
The elder of the Tong family looked furious.
These guys, didn't I tell them not to cause trouble for me today? But they still did it, and even in front of Bai Ye.
"Brother, isn't this your arrangement?" Ayaka asked, looking at Ayato was smiling.
If Bai Ye, who is also a foreigner, sees this situation, she can bring up the issue of the Sakoku Decree when she meets with the Shogun. After all, the Shogun currently needs Bai Ye's help, and perhaps she will listen to what Bai Ye says.
"I might do it for others, but I wouldn't dare do it for him." Ayato head. "His identity is too important, irreplaceable. The price of making an enemy of him is not something I can bear. For someone like him, sincerity is the most effective way to kill. These samurai have really had it too easy before."
"Then let's get rid of him." Only after hearing her brother say this did Ayaka breathe a sigh of relief.
By this time, Bai Ye had already arrived beside the samurai. He shouted at them sternly, "Stop! What are you doing?"
Hearing Bai Ye's angry words, the leading samurai turned his head away disdainfully.
"Huh? Someone actually dares to step forward? I think you're something else..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. A tremendous force struck him, as if he had been hit by Ruin Guard.
Shenhe silently clenched his fist.
With me right next to him, you still want to say those words that insult Bai Ye?
The other samurai were about to make a move when they saw Kujou Sara, Ayato, and their own retainer behind Bai Ye. They were immediately dumbfounded.
"Us..."
They immediately remembered their elder's instructions.
The elders, along with important figures from the Tenryou Commission and the Yashiro Commission, welcomed distinguished guests from abroad.
As a result, they all ended up standing in the line of fire?
"Sir, spare my life..."
"Spare me..."
They all knelt down.
"Bai Ye, what should we do with these people?" the elder asked Bai Ye.
"These people only made a small mistake by threatening others, it's not a big deal," Bai Ye said, looking at the warriors.
The samurai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let them suffer!"
"Ah!?"
"Ah!?"
Everyone present gasped in surprise.
Shenhe looked at the warriors, preventing them from escaping.
Is this what happens when you get a fuller stomach?
Seeing this situation, the elders, though helpless, still gritted their teeth and nodded.
Looking at the ashen faces of the samurai, Bai Ye smiled and said, "Alright, I was just joking. I was just showing them what happens when power is unchecked and abused. Now, handle it according to your shogunate's customs."
"I'm only here in Inazuma to deal with the Archon Residue; other matters have nothing to do with me."
As he said this, he immediately turned to look at Kujou Sara.
"General Kujo, I want to rest."
"Okay. I'll take you across now."
Kujou Sara nodded.
Her affection for Bai Ye deepened even further.
This was observed by foreign merchants in the distance.
I couldn't help but sigh.
They're all foreigners, so why is there such a big difference between them?
"If we have the chance, we must befriend this boy. Perhaps the key to breaking our deadlock lies with him."
The president of these foreign chambers of commerce, Joseph, observed the situation and addressed the other businessmen.
"Yes."
The merchants nodded in agreement.
After Bai Ye and the others settled in, Kujou Sara left the Ritou for Inazuma City to report to the Shogun on the procedures for Bai Ye's audience.
Although she really wanted to stay on duty, she knew what was important.
But deep down, I cared a lot.
"Will Bai Ye encounter any danger? Will he find it difficult to adjust?"
On the way, Kujou Sara kept thinking about these things.
She even came up with the absurd idea that the samurai she dealt with during the day might retaliate against Bai Ye.
The samurai following behind Kujou Sara were seeing their general act like this for the first time, and they couldn't help but exchange glances.
I've never seen my general like anyone before, or had any rumors with anyone. Now it seems she's a complete smitten with young boys.
This...
The samurai felt that their general's imposing figure had diminished considerably.
Although it feels a bit perverted, it seems to bring us closer.
Having just arrived at Inazuma City, before even heading towards the Tenshukaku, Kujou Sara noticed a figure blocking her path.
"Haha, Kujou Sara, I'm here to challenge you again. Let me tell you, I've met another interesting person. Once I get him to join our Arataki Gang, I won't be afraid of you anymore Kujou Sara."
The tall, burly young Oni shouted loudly at Kujou Sara.
Then...
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
"Tie him up and send him to jail to calm down for a few days."
Kujou Sara looked at the fallen Oni and said.
He attacked in a fit of rage, and with the Oni's Genshin Eye already taken away, plus being caught completely off guard, he was defeated in an instant.
"Yes."
The samurai immediately nodded in agreement.
Then, the group of people together escorted the Oni to the prison.
Kujou Sara continued towards the Tenshukaku.
Soon, she entered the Tenshukaku.
"The Shogun, everything has been arranged over there. I wonder if Ai Tian could come and pay his respects to you?"
"Just let him in."
She didn't care about etiquette or anything like that.
With so many red tape, Barbatos, who was drinking on the side, must have been laughing his head off.
"Yes."
Kujou Sara nodded.
Thinking of Bai Ye, she wanted to smile. However, with the Shogun, she absolutely couldn't show it.
So she gritted her teeth and restrained herself.
He remained calm.
Looking at his earnest samurai, Kage was quite satisfied.
See? This is Inazuma's most determined samurai. How could he possibly be bewitched by Bai Ye?
"You should get ready."
"Yes."
Kujou Sara was ready.
She gazed outwards.
I still can't help but think of Bai Ye's appearance.
She herself felt that something was amiss.
After leaving Bai Ye, I couldn't help but miss her.
Just then, she heard a voice behind her.
"The Shogun, should we just imprison Bai Ye and make him work entirely for Inazuma?"
Um!?
What is that sound?
Upon hearing this voice, Kujou Sara immediately turned her head.
"The Shogun, you mustn't!"
She said immediately.
How could Bai Ye be imprisoned?
"Huh? What are you talking about, Kujo?"
Raiden Shogun said expressionlessly.
Ah!?
Kujou Sara was about to speak.
At that moment, she suddenly realized that there was no one between her and the Shogun.
I carefully sensed the presence of people, but there was no one there.
That sound...
"Did someone just offer you some advice?"
"Advice? You're the only one who came to the Tenshukaku today."
Raiden Shogun calmly spoke to Kujou Sara.
So what's going on here?
Kujou Sara was completely baffled, and then quickly apologized.
"The Shogun, I was just having auditory hallucinations. Please punish me."
"This will not be repeated."
"Yes."
Kujou Sara looked up with some confusion.
She heard it clearly, but there really was no one else Tenshukaku!
After she left, Raiden Shogun's expression changed.
It's been replaced with Raiden Ei.
Then, Venti came down from the roof, laughing.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
