Watatsumi Island,

The news of Bai Ye's arrival was also relayed to Watatsumi Island through their Inazuma City.

After Gorou received the letter, he went to the place where the Sangonomiya Kokomi was located.

Although it was late at night, Kokoro Mikoto Human-God Miko Sangonomiya Kokomi of Watatsumi Island, was still working. On the table in front of her were several stacks of documents, each more than half a person's height.

"Lord Kokomi, information from Inazuma City has arrived. The young man who can deal with the Archon Residue has come to Inazuma from Liyue. Next, he may be heading towards Yashiori Island." Gorou handed the letter to Kokomi and reported to him.

"Hmm." Upon hearing that Bai Ye was going to Yashiori Island, Kokomi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she said to Gorou, "If that's the case, the pressure on us on Yashiori Island will be greatly reduced. Next, we can let our soldiers on Watatsumi Island take a break."

Although the positions of Watatsumi Island Yashiori Island the Shogunate Army were intertwined on Hachiunjima and Umijima, it seemed that Watatsumi Island was not at a disadvantage.

However, one reason for this was that the Three Commissions on Watatsumi Island, only the army under the Tenryou Commission was involved. The samurai and ninjas of the Yashiro Commission and the Kanjou Commission did not participate in the battle.

On the other hand, it was also because the soldiers of Watatsumi Island were willing to sacrifice their lives that the front line did not encounter any problems.

However, this selfless sacrifice also resulted in numerous deaths and injuries among the soldiers of Watatsumi Island. Furthermore, Watatsumi Island lacked resources, and the medicinal herbs transported via Beidou required substantial compensation in exchange. Watatsumi Island was now on the verge of collapse, and Bai Ye's intervention to resolve the matter of the evil spirit on Yashiori Island would indeed provide Watatsumi Island with a much-needed respite.

The Tenryou Commission will definitely have to automatically retreat to make room for them.

Gorou then asked, "Kokomi, should we take this opportunity to build more fortifications on Yashiori Island?"

"It's best not to do that. If we push the Shogunate Army too hard, they'll inevitably face an even bigger backlash after the shogunate issue is resolved." Kokomi thought for a moment, then rejected the idea.

"In that case, I'll take my men to the front lines. I hope to communicate with Bai Ye and that he'll cooperate with us."

"Kokomi, are you heading to the front lines at Yashiori Island?"

Gorou hesitated.

"Yes."

Kokomi nodded.

Gorou was still worried about Kokomi's safety and advised, "Why don't you leave it to me? Kokomi, please write down the instructions for me."

"If I don't go, my sincerity will be insufficient."

Kokomi said to Gorou Lang:

"On one hand, I want to see if Bai Ye can bring about any changes for us. I can only try to persuade him if I meet him face to face. Gorou, your eloquence is still lacking. On the other hand, I also want to witness the dissipation of the evil spirit."

The people of Watatsumi Island are all descendants of the people who followed Orobas. Now that the evil spirit formed from Orobas's resentment has dissipated, Xin Kokomi, as the shrine maiden of Watatsumi Island, naturally has to witness it.

"Lord Orobas, please rest assured, I will ensure that the people of Watatsumi Island live a better life."

Kokomi thought to himself.

She also had some thoughts of saying goodbye.

Kokomi had pondered many possibilities for the fate of Watatsumi Island, but she realized that no matter what she did, it would inevitably fall under the rule of Raiden Shogun. Their long-standing resistance was merely a means for General Raiden to gain a greater position in the future.

Resistance is a means to compromise...

A bitter smile played on my Kokomi.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Without the Gods, no matter what we do, we can only strive for this ending.

Unless Lord Orobas revives it.

Only the presence of Gods can allow them to maintain their true independent status.

However, this is impossible.

Lord Orobas was killed long ago on Yashiori Island.

"Watatsumi Island, we can only take it one step at a time."

My Kokomi filled with thoughts.

At the same time, he was also writing a brocade pouch in his hand.

Next, she's going to Yashiori Island, and she also needs to stay behind to prepare for things on Watatsumi Island.

During this period,

Recently, two people in Inazuma City have stood out the most.

Two foreign Inazuma, unaware of what was going on, swaggered Inazuma City, behaving quite ostentatiously.

They even had to call in the soldiers of the Tenryou Commission to maintain order.

The young man dressed in Liyue attire was simply too handsome. Inazuma girls and women alike couldn't help but fall for him upon seeing him.

If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers Tenryou Commission, they would have rushed up and done something that would be considered outrageous by both gods and men.

Some powerful families, seeing their daughters suffering from lovesickness, even considered using their power to force them to reconcile. However, before they could act, their daughters forcefully stopped them.

You bastard! Don't use such dirty tricks to humiliate that boy!

He shouldn't have seen such dark things.

Fortunately, these daughters stopped their parents from doing this; otherwise, these parents would have been imprisoned and killed by the Tenryou Commission.

However, while he wouldn't harm Bai Ye, he wasn't so polite to the other boy who was shopping with him.

You're quite good-looking, but after seeing Bai Ye once, I felt nothing when I looked at you again.

She grabbed him, wanting to inquire about Bai Ye Xi.

The boy was also satisfied; as long as he was given wine, he would say anything.

He was also the friend of the Bai Ye Inazuma.

Well, as time went on, everyone secretly went to him to inquire about Bai Ye.

A few days later, it was time for Bai Ye to leave.

The girls wanted to follow, but with the Tenryou Commission's soldiers around, those people couldn't follow Bai Ye at all.

Leaving the crowd, Bai Ye glanced at Venti sitting on the rooftop and their eyes met.

"After you caused such an Inazuma, won't it cause problems to leave him in Inazuma City?"

Kujou Sara also discovers Venti's rooftop incident.

During this time, she had heard about the trouble that Bai Ye had caused.

However, she did not consider these things to be Bai Ye's business.

Is there a problem with a teenager going shopping?

Is being stunted a crime?

"It's alright, he'll be fine."

Bai Ye replied to Kujou Sara with a smile.

Hurt Venti?

If he doesn't want to talk, who can be his Inazuma?

"Um."

Kujou Sara nodded.

At the same time, it urged the soldiers to advance.

In the distance, Kamisato Ayaka watched Bai Ye leave, her heart filled with reluctance.

She wanted to go and see this time too, but her older brother strongly stopped her.

Seeing that Kamisato Ayaka was still reluctant to part, Ayato said while drinking his milk tea, "The front lines are indeed dangerous, and if you go there, it will inevitably make Kujou Takayuki think that the Yashiro Commission wants to go to Yashiori Island to interfere. Recently, his behavior has become increasingly outrageous, and I'm worried that you might encounter some danger if you go there. In the meantime, Ayaka, you Yashiro Commission to help me with some official business as the magistrate."

Ayato has recently sensed that something is wrong with Kujou Takayuki. Under these circumstances, he plans to observe the situation and wait for Kujou Takayuki to reveal his weakness.

"Um."

Ayaka nodded.

Seeing that Ayaka had agreed, Ayato herself was quite happy. At least, her younger sister hadn't been blinded by love and still had some sense of reason.

He gulped down a cup of milk tea and felt a little hot. Then, smiling, he said to Ayaka, "Sis, look at this milk tea..."

"Brother, I still have matters to attend to as the Yashiro Commission. Brother, you should have more to attend to as well."

Ayaka watched Bai Ye walk away, then she turned and left as well.

"Why..."

Ayato held a milk tea in one hand, and pointed resentfully at Ayaka with the other.

Why? Ever since she visited Liyue, Ayato felt that her status in the family was declining sharply.

My status!

Ayato drank her milk tea in one gulp, keeping all her thoughts to herself.

After leaving Inazuma City, Bai Ye and the others boarded the Tenryou Commission ship and headed towards Yashiori Island.

This time, it wasn't a long-distance voyage like from Liyue to Inazuma; instead, it was a voyage along the edge of an island. Along the way, they could see the island scenery, so Hu Tao and the others weren't too bored.

This indirectly Tenryou Commission the entire ship's soldiers.

Otherwise, if a bored Hu Tao sees soldiers preparing to fight on the front lines and tries to sell their services at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, how can it still be called the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?

Hu Tao towards Yashiori Island, Kujou Sara asked Kujo Sara:

"I heard that the resentment of the Orobas is pervasive throughout the entire island, is that right? And its remains are said to be enormous as well."

"Yes." Kujou Sara nodded. "Yashiori Island does contain the remains of the Orobas, which are several thousand meters long."

Wow, it's huge!

Hu Tao said with some surprise.

Listening to Hu Tao's words, Bai Ye and Hagintos said in unison:

"Hmph, so what if I'm that tall!"

Upon hearing Bai Ye say this, Hagintos first smiled and said to Bai Ye:

"No, she's small but still cute."

Bai Ye, of course, retorted defiantly, "Teacher, you're the same. I'm still human, but you're Gods."

Humans are at most a little over two meters tall, not even twice my height. But what about Orobas and you?

"That's different. The power of Gods god doesn't depend on size."

"Look, although I'm not tall, my strength is... not bad."

After a long, dry explanation, Hagintos felt he had run out of things to say.

Go offline directly.

Bai Ye was helpless in the face of her teacher's actions.

At this moment, Shenhe came to Bai Ye's side.

"Are you dissatisfied with that skeleton of Orobas? Well then, how about I smash it all to dust?"

Since Bai Ye is depressed, then let's just smash it.

"That's not the case. Orobas is innocent." Upon hearing Shenhe's words, Bai Ye quickly denied it.

Orobas has had a tough time.

He appeared in Liyue and was severely beaten by Zhongli; then he came to Inazuma and was beaten up again by Ying. In the end, he wanted to escape to the Sea of Darkness, but stayed because of the people of Enkanomiya- no-Miya.

In the end, after watching "Sun and Moon Before the Moon," he had no choice but to die.

Speaking of which, if I look at His memories, will I also be able to see "Sun and Moon Before the Moon"? Although I've seen it in the game, there's still a difference between seeing it in person and seeing it in real life.

Bai Ye thought to himself.

I wasn't too nervous.

The book "The Tale of the Sun and Moon" is a book whose truth must never be known to others. But for Bai Ye, who will inevitably step onto the front lines against the Abyss sooner or later, it is something he must know.

Knowing a little in advance is always a good idea.

Just as she was thinking this, Kujou Sara looked at the island in front of her and said to Bai Ye.

"We have already arrived at Yashiori Island."

"Um,"

Bai Ye prepared to leave.

At this moment, Kujou Sara hesitated slightly before continuing:

"Actually, in Inazuma, a tall stature often has an impact on swordsmanship. Physical stature is not a standard for measuring a samurai."

She wanted to comfort Bai Ye, but after thinking for a long time, she could only come up with this one thing to say.

Bai Ye:"..."

Quickly, everyone disembarked. The Tenryou Commission Army was already waiting there.

Upon seeing Kujou Sara, they quickly went forward to pay their respects.

"Lord Kujo".

"Hmm..." Kujou Sara nodded, then asked them, "How's the situation on Yashiori Island? Have the Watatsumi Island troops taken the opportunity to cause trouble?"

"No, they've all been huddled within their own defensive lines during this time, without making any moves."

The garrison of Yashiori Island responded.

"Inazuma City still needs to be cleaned up."

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Kujou Sara's eyes.

They must have known about the coming of the Bai Ye to do this.

Tell them that it can only be a spy from Watatsumi Island in Inazuma.

But this is good, it saves me from having to worry about Bai Ye's safety and increase security measures.

Kujou Sara said to Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, you should rest for a while. As for dealing with the evil spirit, I'll lead the troops to take care of those demons affected by the evil spirit."

It's somewhat dangerous to have to consider monsters while dealing with the evil spirit.

"No, we can deal with it together when the time comes." Bai Ye shook his head.

"The soldiers are dealing with monsters while also being affected by the evil spirits, which can easily cause a large number of casualties."

"Although it's a bit troublesome, I still hope Zero Damage can resolve it."

"But this is dangerous..."

"Hey, with me here, what danger could there be?" Hu Tao said at this moment, "I'll protect Bai Ye's safety."

"Um."

Seeing that Bai Ye and the others were resolute, Kujou Sara said no more.

However, this only increased my fondness for it.

Although the approach was not entirely sound, it was the most admirable.

Inazuma's feelings had nothing to do with them, and it was only right that he contributed his time and effort. However, he still took on all of this himself.

So cute.

"Thank you all. However, for your safety, I think we samurai should clear out the area first." The garrison of Yashiori Island was moved by Bai Ye's words.

"No, no..." Bai Ye quickly waved his hand.

Then he pointed at Hu Tao and said, "If you feel bad about it, you can come and support Hu Tao when she opens a shop in Inazuma in the future."

"Uh-huh."

Hu Tao nodded vigorously.

At the same time, he was watching the Bai Ye.

Well, at least he has the self-awareness of Guest Official of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

"We support it, we definitely support it."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, the garrison soldiers agreed without asking any questions.

Seeing how readily the guards agreed, Bai Ye felt a little embarrassed.

"If not, we can modify it a little. It can serve as a wardrobe at home normally, and then turn into a coffin when it's time to die?"
