He had an aloof demeanor that treated life and death as nothing. Even though there was blood on the corner of his mouth and he was as weak as a candle in the wind, he was like a warrior never seen before, radiating a sad yet powerful beauty. Kamisato Ayaka felt a "thump" and her heartbeat became irregular. …… At night, Kamisato Ayato finished a day's work and returned home to see her sister who was extremely serious. It was a look and temperament very different from usual. Kamisato Ayato was stunned for a moment, then sat down opposite her sister and said: "What happened?" "Brother, next, Ayaka wants to talk to you about something...very important." Kamisato Ayaka took a deep breath, with some trepidation in her eyes, but more of it was a rare determination. Only then did Kamisato Ayato notice that the area around the living room was very quiet, as if there was no servant at all. Only the sound of the wind and the chirping of insects at night could be heard from the yard.
He nodded and said: "You say." So, Kamisato Ayaka told her Kaguya's name, how Kujo Sara and Kaguya met, and what Kaguya had said today. Kamisato Ayato went from being interested to gradually becoming solemn, and finally she looked towards the guest room unconsciously. "Brother, do you understand Inazuma's situation?" Kamisato Ayaka stared at Kamisato Ayato seriously. Kamisato Ayato smiled bitterly. "In your eyes, does your brother seem like someone who would ignore such a big thing?" "So, what Mr. Kaguya said really hits the nail on the head for Inazuma's current problem?" Kamisato Ayato confirmed what Kaguya said, which made Kamisato Ayaka suffocate. Kamisato Ayato nodded. "I have thought about the troubles that would come from a trade disruption, but not as deeply or clearly as she has." "Why didn't you advise the general?" "Because it's impossible. You remember how suddenly the lockdown came about? The general blocked the sea with a thunder curtain, and then the Tenryo Bugyo issued the lockdown order. After that... let me be honest with you, the only way to get Masafumi to the castle tower is in the hands of the Tenryo Bugyo alone. Do you understand what I mean?" "That is to say, no matter how hard we try, any information that is unfavorable to Tenryo-bukyo will never reach the ears of the general. So is this country now the general's country or Tenryo-bukyo's country?" Kamisato Ayaka said with a pale face. Kamisato Ayato's expression changed and he said: "Lianhua, be careful with your words!" "I understand. I have already dispersed the others. I know that with the power of the Tenryo Bugyo in charge of military and political power, if what I just said gets out... because of the inheritance of the Three Bugyos, he may not dare to take our lives, but I'm afraid we can't leave the house and get in touch with anyone in the outside world, right?"
"Ah... Mr. Kaguya has given me a difficult question. Let's eat first and let me think about it, okay?" Kamisato sighed and smiled gently. Kamisato Ayaka naturally couldn't say no. She nodded, stood up, and went downstairs to find someone to arrange dinner. Afterwards, Kamisato Ayato looked towards the direction of the guest room and quietly clenched her fists. For him, Kamisato's family, his family, and his sister Ayaka, are his real targets. Honoring the Thunder God or protecting Inazuma are just means to serve the purpose of protecting Ayaka. Even Ayaka, who was protected by Kaguya and remained pure, understood what Kaguya meant, so Kamisato Ayato naturally understood it even more deeply. But what would it matter if they understood it? No matter how hard they tried, the Tenryo Bugyo would not let the generals hear these truths. This would only make the Kamisato family a thorn in the eyes of the Tenryo Bugyo, and the power that the Kamisato family had accumulated with great difficulty would be crushed by military power. But at the same time, if nothing is done, the collapse of Inazuma is a matter of time. Thunder God will see this sooner or later, and by then, can the Kamisato family, one of the Three Magistrates, escape the blame? Kamisato Ayato's expression kept changing. After a moment, she suddenly turned her head and looked into the distance at Ying Xiangshan, who looked particularly majestic and oppressive in the dark moonlight. There is light from the top of the mountain. It is not strong when viewed from a distance, but it continues to be bright in the night. "Narugami Taisha, His Excellency the Chief Priest... it is not necessary to hand it over to the Tenryo Bugyo. Isn't it also a duty of admonition to hand it over to the Thunder God's followers? Our shrine is not in charge of the military, politics, or finances. We have fully fulfilled our duties by informing His Excellency the Chief Priest of the Inazuma crisis as much as possible?" Kamisato Ayato clapped her hands and immediately made a decision. Chapter 33 Why are you blushing? Kamisato Ayato still went to meet Kaguya. Regardless, Kaguya has shown enough potential to possibly change the current corrupt situation. He addressed her as "Mr.", just like Kamisato Ayaka, and was respectful and polite, but underneath the surface he was more of a scrutinizer. It was obvious that compared to his innocent sister, this brother was already a mature noble politician. Kaguya doesn't have any feelings for his brother-in-law. First of all, he's not a pretty girl, and secondly, he's very scheming. He's good but he doesn't seem to be sincere, and there's no special sparkle in him that An Qi would like. He's just an ordinary but useful tool +1, Kaguya thinks so. The next few days were another comfortable and boring recuperation routine. Every day, I slept until I woke up naturally, and waited weakly for the servants to serve me. And with calm and flawless eyes, I focused on appreciating Kamisato Ayaka who visited me every day. I don’t know if this character setting really hits the sweet spot of Kamisato Ayaka, so much so that everyone has already revealed their hobby of secretly reading storybook novels in casual chats. "Sir, please keep what I just said a secret for Ayaka." "Ha~~" "Sir, you smiled!" "I'm not a heartless puppet. I naturally have emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. You are very interesting." Facing Kamisato Ayaka's bright eyes filled with amazement, Kaguya spoke as if nothing had happened. However, after acting desperate for many days, she suddenly smiled for Kamisato Ayaka - this wave of special treatment made it hard for everyone not to be reminded of the various plots in romance novels. It is worth mentioning that Yaedo, which controls more than half of the Inazuma storybook and novel industry, does not prohibit lewd texts because its editor-in-chief Yaedo has some subtle feelings for a wooden god that go beyond friendship. It is hard to say whether there is secret support, anyway, in the storybook novels that Kamisato Ayaka has read, there are quite a lot of this type. Seeing that Kamisato Ayaka's earlobes suddenly turned red, Huiye looked puzzled and deliberately asked: "Hmm? Why are you blushing?"
"Ah! No, nothing. I'll go check on the lunch preparations for Mr.! Today, let's have lunch together today." "Okay, thank you very much." "No, no, no, it should be, sir." Kamisato Ayaka ran out in a panic, her steps seemed particularly hurried. Kaguya shook his head, laughed, and then waited as usual with a weak and graceful posture. As for how he was pretending to be a famous person in his mind and what postures he was doing, only Kaguya himself knew. …… The Kamisato family does not nominally command the army. In fact, he controls a secret special force called the Zuimueban, which is basically composed of professional ninjas - ah yes, that's the Zuimueban that Hayateu belongs to. It was a pipe dream to use this small special force to fight against the large army controlled by the Tenryo Bugyo. However, it was easy to use it to steal some outdated data that the two major Bugyo did not guard so strictly. Not long after the harmonious and eye-catching lunch, one of the sources of eye-catching food, Gui Xiu, left in a hurry. Not long after, she ran back with a pile of books, followed by a little tail holding books as well. "Oh, the stuff has been delivered, so can I leave now?" "Well, thank you for your hard work, Zaoyou. You helped a lot this time." "Don't be polite. Next time, try not to give me a job that requires all-nighters. If I don't get enough sleep, I won't grow taller." "Pfft! You're still the same. That's enough. Go and have a rest." Kamisato Ayaka smiled and sent away the short ninja with a strange tail. But before Zaoyou left, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the weak and graceful Hui Ye. 'I've never met someone before. Did you steal so much information just because of her? Hey, did she look at me? Ah, she smiled at me! Run!' The early pomelo slipped away in a flash. I don't know why, but I always feel that when that pretty and fragile sister smiles, the fake tail behind her, which is actually sewn on her clothes, starts to feel itchy as if someone is hugging and lifting her up with just a glance. The little animal's instinct made her subconsciously run away first. Huiye smiled unconsciously, but Kamisato Ayaka felt a little embarrassed. "She is Sawayu, the last ninja of the final period. She is still young and may be impolite, so I hope you won't mind, sir." Although Hui Ye calls himself a commoner. However, the broad-mindedness, wisdom, and concern for the country and the people that she has shown in recent days have impressed Kamisato Ayaka so much that she unconsciously placed Kaguya in a high position that requires respect. Kaguya shook his head. "Although she is young, she is capable of carrying out such a mission. Besides, being young is good. Children are the future of Inazuma... If even children cannot laugh freely, then Inazuma will die even if she is not dead." "Sir, that's right. Sir, this is the year-end statistics taken from the Kanjo Bugyo and Tenryo Bugyo. Since it's hard to determine which ones are useful and which ones are not, we brought all the ones that are effective. The amount is a bit beyond our expectations. What should we do next?" Kamisato Ayaka looked at the pile of books filling up the table and looked embarrassed.
Kaguya held onto the corner of the table, slowly stood up, and reached out to touch the top of the book. "More is better. More is better. Only by reading more can I see what I want to see more comprehensively and accurately. The next step is to finish reading all these books and calculate all the numbers. Lanhua, grind, prepare paper and pen, and remember what I say next." "Yes, sir!" Kaguya's eyes suddenly became sharp, like a sword, but without any hostility, just with an irresistible majesty. Kamisato Ayaka couldn't say no, and quickly acted as he said. Kaguya picked up a book, opened it, read ten lines at a glance, and quickly memorized and calculated. "This recording method is really crude..." "gentlemen?" "If I get the chance one day, I must change this inefficient and loophole-prone counting method. Forget it, let's not talk about this. First, record the monthly food intake, XX kilograms of rice..." Kaguya flipped through the book quickly, calculating each piece of information in his mind and blurting it out. Kamisato Ayaka stood straight, holding the pen in an elegant and steady manner, with the aesthetic sense of a master calligrapher, and wrote down what Kaguya said stroke by stroke. There were only two of them doing this. The book was stolen, and it was a serious matter. Every piece of information in it was supposed to be a state secret. If even a little bit of it leaked out, the company would be in big trouble, not to mention other things. So there was no way to ask outsiders for help. Fortunately, Kaguya's ability was so strong that Kamisato Ayaka was shocked and her admiration and respect for him grew. One of them was talking, the other was recording, and gradually they ignored the passage of time. It was not until Kamisato Ayato returned home at night and heard from the servant that Kamisato Ayaka had not allowed dinner. Feeling sorry for his sister, he hurried over and the two of them stopped focusing. Chapter 34 Brother-in-law's high blood pressure "Brother, you're back. Huh? Is it that late already?" Kamisato Ayaka came to her senses and realized that it was already late. Suddenly, she felt hungry and her hands were sore from writing for half a day. During the day, Kaguya's mind was too focused. She had many experiences of reaching high positions in another world, and her spiritual cultivation had reached the pinnacle. Therefore, once she got serious, even if she didn't deliberately use any power, the spiritual power she naturally radiated would have an impact on the people around her. Especially for a girl like Kamisato Ayaka who already admires Kaguya and is also a simple-minded girl, she will cooperate unconsciously and forget about external things. Ahem, please don't associate this ability with the warmth of a lotus tent, the rubbing of temples, and the gentle twisting of hands. Definitely don't. Anyway, Kamisato Ayaka and her brother smiled, stood up, and rubbed their wrists. Then they saw that Kaguya had sat down without knowing when. She was behind the pile of books and could not be seen at the moment. Kamisato Ayaka hurried over, and then her pupils suddenly contracted. "gentlemen!" At this time, Huiye was sitting on the table, still flipping through a book, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. The dripping blood had already dyed a large area of his clothes red, and it was obvious that it had been flowing for a long time, but Huiye seemed to have not heard it, and continued to look at the book with a starry gaze. "Ok?" Hearing Kamisato Ayaka's sudden scream, Kaguya raised his head and looked at her in a daze. Then he spat out a mouthful of blood that had been stagnating for a long time.
"Tsk~~" Blood spurted onto the ground, staining it a shocking dark red. 'Oops, I forgot I cut off most of this body's life force. Now, this body is extremely fragile.' Huiye's vision blurred, the book in his hand fell, and his body staggered and fell down. "gentlemen!!?"
