[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

Only after He Que went out did he finally realize what the sound of weapons exploding in his ears even through the wooden door meant.

Who could have thought that when the shogunate army dispatched a large number of soldiers to Yamato Island, the rebel army that was supposed to stay there to confront them, with the help of the shrine bugyo, quietly bypassed everyone and broke into Narukami Island?
The remaining people of Tenryo Bugyo were barely a fraction of the invaders, and no matter how hard they resisted, they were quickly captured. They could only watch helplessly as the rebels surrounded the entire Kujo family.

I don’t know if it’s because Heque’s house is the farthest away from the center of Kujo Takayuki, the turmoil did not affect her for the time being, and Heque was able to slip out smoothly through the back door.

At this time, she had changed into a slave's clothes, covered her face with thick coarse cloth, and hurriedly passed by the rebels who were rushing towards the castle tower with her head down.

Only when there was no one around did she tear open the cloth covering her face and carefully exhale.

Sister Sara was right. Since the rebels started the uprising under the pretext of protecting the interests of the people, they would not attack civilians even if they have already entered Narukami Island. As long as they do not expose their relationship with the Kujo family, they will be the safest.

Heque felt a little relieved, took a short rest in the corner, and encouraged himself again before continuing towards Kamisato's House.

She didn't know that in the Wuyou Pavilion that she just passed by, Kamisato Ayato was sitting there, and opposite him were the current leader of the resistance army, the current human goddess of Umijima, Coral Palace Shinkai, and the foreign aid invited by the resistance army, the leader of the Southern Cross Fleet, Beidou.

"Since you two share the same aspirations as me, the Society Magistrate will naturally treat you with sincerity. But I'm sorry, the Society Magistrate will never publicly appear in this matter. No matter how things turn out in the end, the Kamisato family does not want to be known as a traitor to the Shogun."

Kamisato Ayato spoke calmly, with a serious expression that was rarely seen on his face, "Of course, on the other hand, the Kamisato family will never stand up and take away the credit from you guys afterwards."

Upon hearing this, Coral Palace Xinhai smiled slightly and said, "It is understandable. The head of the Kamisato family has already helped a lot in this matter, and the resistance army will not force the Kamisato family to continue to take action. With the help of the traveler, the head of the Kamisato family only needs to wait for the victory report in the rear."

However, having said that, Coral Palace still had some concerns. When Kamisato Ayato lowered her eyes and thanked him in a dignified manner, she exchanged glances with Beidou beside her.

The latter coughed to clear his throat and tried to probe her: "But Lord Kamisato, do you really not mind what might happen in the future? I heard that you and your fiancée have a good relationship. If the Kujo family falls because of this and your fiancée hates you, what are you going to do?"

As the top nobles in Inazuma, the three magistrates' every move could cause a stir in the court. The marriage between Tenryo Magistrate and Sha Magistrate was naturally a big deal, and it caused many people to engage in conspiracy theories for several months.

Kamisato Ayato was not surprised that Coral Palace Xinhai had also heard about this. What he cared about was only the attitude of the rebels towards this. After all, because of Kujo Takayuki's crimes and Que's current identity, it was very sensitive.

His expression was normal, and he gave the answer without even thinking too much: "Don't worry, the two of you. I know the difference between private and official matters, and I should treat official matters with an official attitude. If Miss Kujo really blames me for this, I won't regret it. After all, everything Kamisato did was to help the general realize the mistakes of the National Closure Order and the Eye Hunting Order."

Seeing this, Coral Palace Xinhai was finally satisfied and breathed a sigh of relief: "I am very happy to be able to cooperate with such a reasonable person like the head of the Kamisato family."

The clash of wine glasses suggested that the deal had finally ended all temptations and was moving forward steadily.

Kamisato Ayato lowered his eyes, drank the wine in the glass, and concealed all the deep meaning in his eyes.

And Heque will soon understand what this deep meaning means to her, but at this moment she has just arrived at the foot of Yingxiang Mountain, and there is still a long flight of steps away from Kamisato's Mansion.

She ran into Kamisato Ayaka who was walking down the mountain.

The clumsy disguise was quickly seen through by Kamisato Ayaka. The girl subconsciously avoided her sight when she saw her, but quickly realized that she should not act so guilty, and hurriedly asked, "Why is Miss Kujo here?" He Que had already figured something out from her reaction and was about to ask more when she saw Toma behind Kamisato Ayaka step forward and whisper something in her ear.

Kamisato Ayaka's expression turned ugly for a moment.

He Que pursed her lips nervously.

At the same time, Kamisato Ayaka stretched out a hand to block her, and said in a tough tone: "I'm sorry, Miss Kujo, please tell me why you are here, otherwise I'm afraid I can't let you go any further."

He Que's eyes immediately widened.

She pretended to be calm and answered Kamisato Ayaka's question: "I want to see the lord of the society."

"My brother is not here, Miss Kujo, please go back."

Kamisato Ayaka answered so quickly that Kazuque couldn't tell whether she was serious or just trying to please her.

She gritted her teeth and continued to ask, "It doesn't matter if the lord of the society is not here. Perhaps some of the questions can be asked to Miss Kamisato."

But Kamisato Ayaka shook her head and still put on that cold face: "No matter what Miss Kujo wants to ask, I have nothing to say. Miss Kujo, please go back."

He Que couldn't help but take a step forward.

But Thomas quickly stood between the two of them, smiling apologetically, but his tone was unusually firm: "Ms. Kujo, please go back."

*
He Que finally left after realizing that even if the situation remained at a stalemate, she would still not be able to get any information from Kamisato Ayaka.

As soon as she left, Kamisato Ayaka could no longer maintain that cold expression. She collapsed and leaned against a tree trunk, depressed: "Miss Heque... She will definitely hate me after today..."

Thomas scratched his head, not knowing how to comfort her, and could only say, "There is no other way. According to the master's wishes, we cannot show any favoritism towards Miss Heque at this critical moment. Otherwise, once we show it, it will be difficult to plead with the general to preserve the Kujo family as much as possible."

Kamisato Ayaka certainly knew this, but the feeling of keeping a secret in your heart and being unable to speak it out is really uncomfortable, especially when you find out that this secret will hurt others.

When she thought of the look in Heque's eyes when he left, she felt a slight pang of guilt.

I hope the matter can be resolved quickly... If it takes any longer, she is really afraid that Miss Kazuque will be hurt and will never forgive Kamisato and her brother...
