Genshin Impact: This light novel author doesn't cross the line.

Yae no Miko smiled gently, "That's enough. But I can't give it to you right now, since there are still people up there." As she spoke, she pointed to the sky.

"Then let's hand this over to that idiot Scaramucci."

After the girl finished speaking, she turned and disappeared from Yae no Miko's sight, as if she had never been there at all.

Chapter 54 Those Not Watched by the Gods

In early autumn, the weather was clear and cloudless.

Yingmei walked along the winding and rugged road leading to the Coral Palace. The leaves of the trees on both sides gradually turned golden, and occasionally a few fell with the wind.

Before she knew it, she had been on Haizhi Island for almost a month.

During this month, she performed exceptionally well in combat and became the captain of a resistance squad.

However, this kind of life gradually made her feel bored and dull.

She often gazes into the distance, thinking of someone, of him making her a midnight snack, of the interesting stories he told her, and of the warmth and comfort she felt when he was by her side.

"Traveler, when can we return to Inazuma City?" Paimon asked, his face downcast, looking quite dejected.

“Paimon, I do want to go back, but not now. The rebels on Umijima Island and the shogunate army are about to have a major battle. How can I leave at such a crucial moment?”

"OK then."

"But after this final battle, I plan to go back and see that bastard, Chiki Ueno."

Paimon immediately perked up, "Yay! I can eat his cooking again!"

Yingmei pointed a finger at her forehead and said, "All you ever think about is eating."

Just then, a joyful voice came from afar, "Traveler!"

A young soldier ran quickly toward them.

It was Zheping, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

"Zheping, how have you been lately?"

"I'm doing pretty well. It's just that because I'm not very capable, the tasks I'm assigned are mostly things like delivering supplies to the rear."

With her hands on her hips, Yingmei said smugly, "Then you'd better work hard! I'm already the captain of the Swordfish Second Squad of the Special Operations Team on Sea Island."

"What?!" Teppei's eyes widened in disbelief. "Swordfish Squad 2? Is that the special operations team I'm referring to, the one with the name Swordfish?"

Yingmei nodded, "Exactly! With my abilities, of course I get promoted quickly."

"Then congratulations." Zheping's expression became somewhat complicated.

"Thank you, but I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

"goodbye!"

After taking one last, wistful look at Yingmei's retreating figure, Zheping walked dejectedly toward his camp.

He has been in the army for three years. He has worked diligently for three years, but he is still just an ordinary sergeant without any military rank.

However, the Traveler was promoted to captain of the Special Operations Team Swordfish Second Division in just one month.

Even joining the Swordfish Division 2 as an ordinary member was something he longed for but could never achieve.

He clenched his fists tightly, his fingertips digging deep into the flesh of his palms, as if struggling to expel an inner torment. His nails scratched the skin, and blood slowly seeped out, but it did nothing to alleviate the resentment in his heart.

"Why are the gods so unfair! My desire is so strong, why won't they grant me the Eye of God? If I had the Eye of God, I could achieve many great feats and be promoted to captain or general!"

Since he was not watched over by the gods, he could only turn to the devil.

He pulled an ominous-looking evil eye from his pocket. He had intended to hand it over after receiving an urgent notice that the evil eye was life-threatening, but now he changed his mind.

Rather than living a mediocre life, it's better to let your life shine brightly.

At least it will make the girl he admires remember him.

At this moment, Yingmei and Paimon arrived at the gate of the Coral Palace.

"How was it, Traveler? Did the process of taking office go smoothly?" Coral Palace Heart Sea asked Yingmei with concern.

Yingmei put her hands on her hips, looking quite proud, and said, "It went very smoothly, after all, I am a famous traveler!"

"The members of the Swordfish Second Division are all proud and arrogant. To be able to subdue them all, you truly deserve to be called worthy!"

"Hahahaha." Yingmei couldn't help but laugh after receiving praise from Coral Palace Heart Sea.

"Traveler, I have a secret mission for you." Coral Palace Heartsea's expression suddenly turned serious as she took out an Evil Eye from her hand.

"Isn't this the Evil Eye?" Paimon exclaimed in surprise. "But this Evil Eye seems even more ominous, making people feel uneasy."

Coral Palace Heart Sea nodded. “This is a low-quality evil eye made by the Fools using crystallized bone marrow. I have ordered the soldiers to hand it over, but evil eyes are still flowing into the army. I hope you can find out the source of these evil eyes.”

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Yingmei replied confidently.

.......

Nighttime, inside the secret stronghold of the Fools in Inazuma Castle.

The woman looked coldly at the members of the Fools present. "Tell me, how's your work progress lately?"

The members all looked distressed and were very cautious, not even daring to breathe loudly.

She was instantly enraged. "You bunch of useless trash! I gave you so much time, and you haven't accomplished a single thing!"

“Madam, we have actually tried our best, but as soon as people hear that we don’t have funding, they all ignore us. Even the officials who were previously polite to us, the Tenryo and Kansei officials, have become very cold.” A middle-aged member of the Fools’ Clan said with courage.

"Didn't you tell him that if he joined the Fools' Clan, he could get a promotion soon?"

This member was speechless. Promotion is for a raise, but without a salary, who cares about your position?

Only those unfortunate people who were exiled from the winter solstice longed for a promotion and hoped to leave this godforsaken place as soon as possible.

Of course, these words could not be spoken aloud, otherwise it would offend the irritable and easily angered witch in front of them.

Disappointment filled the woman's eyes. She turned her gaze to Ueno Chiki, hoping that this person she had high hopes for could bring her some good news.

Stared at by the woman's ardent gaze, Ueno Chiki knew she couldn't escape, so she spoke first, "Madam, I've encountered many difficulties at work recently, and have been in dangerous situations many times, almost losing my life. But when I think of you, I feel invigorated, and I overcome one difficulty after another with all my might. It is your broad-mindedness that warms me, and your radiant light that illuminates me..."

"That's enough." The woman interrupted his rambling. "You can keep these things to yourself. Just get to the point about your work."

"Yes, madam. I have successfully recruited a God's Eye holder into the organization. He is extremely powerful and can cause great damage."

"Code name 9527, well done!" the woman couldn't help but praise.

Seeing the people she admired achieve results gave her a sense of accomplishment. At the same time, she made up her mind to recommend intelligence chief codename 9527 as the head of the Inazuma Fools, in charge of all affairs of the Fools in Inazuma.

Chapter 55 The Sibling War in the Wooden Leak Tea Room

In early autumn, Inazuma Castle presents a desolate beauty.

Fallen leaves drifted down along both sides of the street, tracing poignant arcs. A cool, damp air filled the air, mingling with the crispness of early autumn.

Pedestrians walked in twos and threes, hurrying along.

The people of Inazuma Castle have learned of the news from the front lines, and soon the rebels on Umijima Island and the shogunate army will engage in a decisive battle.

If the shogunate army loses the war, then Inazuma Castle will be vulnerable to attack by the rebels on Kaijima Island at any time.

What angered the people even more was that the Heavenly Commander and the Kansei Commander had conspired to deceive General Raiden, making him believe it was just a minor conflict.

The head of the Kamisato family, Ayato Kamisato, mentioned this matter several times at the Imperial Conference, but at this time the Kamisato family had been affected by the Hunting Eye Ritual incident and had already lost the trust of the Raiden General.

All his efforts were ultimately in vain.

Inside the wooden-framed tea room, three young men and women sat at a tea table.

"Kujo Takayuki and Toru Shinsuke, those two old scoundrels! How could they deceive the General like this!" Ayato Kamisato was practically grinding his teeth to powder.

These two old bastards are ruthless in achieving their goals, which is one thing. But now that Inazuma is on the verge of death, they're still deceiving General Raiden.

Did they really think General Thunder was invincible?

Haizhi Island must have something to rely on to be so radical.

As far as he knew, there were fools behind him.

The chief, second, and third executives of the Fools are comparable to gods.

In addition, he also heard that the living goddess Kokoro Mikoto of Umijima Island can use the power left behind by Umijima Omikami.

Thinking of this, he sighed deeply, "Alas, General, how could you be so foolish?"

Sitting opposite him, Ayaka Kamisato and Thomas showed no signs of sadness.

Ayaka Kamisato and Thomas had long seen through everything; the Thunder General was an incompetent, talentless, and immoral tyrant.

After the enactment of the Eye-hunting Edict and the National Lockdown Edict, the lives of the people deteriorated, and Inazuma became listless and stagnant, like a dead country.

After a painful internal struggle, Ayato Kamisato's gaze gradually hardened. "Ayaka, Toma. I agree to your plan. All the staff of the company will assist you in your actions."

"That's wonderful, brother! With your help, our plan is sure to succeed!" Ayaka Kamisato said excitedly.

"But I still have one question: was this plan really devised by that lord at Narukami Taisha?"

Ayaka Kamisato nodded vigorously, "Brother, it was indeed her decision. She said she wanted to bring that blockhead to his senses and tell him that if he can't manage the country properly, then he shouldn't bother with it anymore."

"That's exactly how she always is."

Then, Ayato Kamisato sighed, "War is approaching, Kujo Sara will soon be transferred to Kujo Jinya, and the Tenryo Magistrate will also stop the strict searches. The residents of Inazuma Castle can finally have a few days of peace. It's just a pity that the summer festival couldn't be held this year."

The mere mention of summer festivals fills Ayaka Kamisato with rage.

She had already made plans to attend with Ueno Chiki, but due to the impact of the Hunting Eye Ceremony, the Summer Festival was forcibly canceled by the Tenryo Magistrate.

She had been looking forward to it for so long, and had even chosen the kimono for the summer festival, planning to dazzle Ueno Chiki and then spend an unforgettable festival with him, creating eternal and beautiful memories for the two of them.

But all of this came to nothing.

I'm so angry!

"Also, Ayaka, that Ueno Chiki is not a good person. He has an ambiguous relationship with the traveler. Let's break off the engagement as soon as possible."

Ayaka Kamisato turned her head and angrily rolled her eyes at Thomas. It was probably Thomas who told her brother about this.

Thomas raised both hands to indicate his innocence.

“Brother, you don’t understand Qian Shu at all.”
