It's a pity that the Divine Child has already gone abroad, otherwise General Raiden wouldn't have entrusted this important task to the heads of the three great commissioners.

The reason is simple: no matter how unreliable the divine child may be, the other party is still a member of the Thunder God's family. In the Thunder General's mind, his position is much higher than that of the three chief ministers.

"understood."

Ayato Kamisato spoke up, looking earnestly at General Raiden, "I will obey your orders, General. During the two days you are away from Inazuma, I will behave myself and do everything in my power to protect Inazuma."

Seeing what Ayato Kamisato said, Senri Hiiragi quickly added, "The Hiiragi family and the Commissioner of the Imperial Household Agency will also do their utmost."

After the two magistrates expressed their stance, Kujo Takayuki knew that he could not force the shogun to stay. He finally nodded helplessly, indicating that the Tenryo Magistrate would continue to protect Inazuma.

After giving instructions to the three chief stewards, General Thunder nodded slightly. With a wave of her hand, a purple teleportation portal appeared, and she slowly walked in and disappeared into the Sky Keep.

After General Raiden left, Hiiragi Senri breathed a sigh of relief; she was clearly the happiest one.

Ayato Kamisato and Takayuki Kujo, however, did not look too happy, because in history, the gods had never left Inazuma.

The only time he left Inazuma, Inazuma suffered an unimaginable calamity. At that time, monsters were not just legends; great monsters sang and danced in Inazuma.

Until the calamity that struck five hundred years ago, countless rice-dwelling people and powerful demons were swallowed up by the dark beast tide.

And the people of Inazuma suffered heavy losses during that period. If the general had arrived in time, Inazuma would probably not exist anymore.

Even so, Inazuma has experienced a generational gap, and its overall strength is nowhere near what it used to be.

Now that General Raiden has left Inazuma again, Ayato Kamisato and Takayuki Kujo are wondering if a calamity will befall them.

"We need to resolve that problem as soon as possible."

Kujo Takayuki muttered to himself, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes, for the departure of the Thunder General had instilled a sense of fear in him.

Although the god said he would return in two days, Kujo Takayuki began to feel afraid and decided to do something worthwhile.

"That trouble? You mean the rebels?" Ayato Kamisato looked at Takayuki Kujo, crossed his arms, and said calmly, "I heard you suffered a defeat."

"To be honest, I didn't expect that even with Kujo Sara leading the team, she would suffer such a crushing defeat."

Ayato Kamisato was somewhat gloating at this moment, because his animosity towards Takayuki Kujo was something that almost everyone in Inari knew.

It should be noted that the Kansei and Tenryo magistrates had previously joined forces to suppress the Sha magistrate.

The reason the magistrate is able to breathe now is not because the magistrates of the Kanjo and Tenryo have shown mercy, but entirely because Ayato Kamisato is very capable and the previous magistrates were very effective.

As for now, the current head of the Kansei, Hiiragi Senri, is far too young, and he is also somewhat hesitant and timid in his actions.

As for the affairs on the outlying island, Hiiragi Senri is only nominally in charge; in reality, she doesn't have much real power, which can be considered a form of de facto powerlessness.

Therefore, while Ayato Kamisato was talking to Takayuki Kujo, Senri Hiiragi apologized and decisively chose to leave.

After all, given the political situation in Inazuma, it's impossible for her and the Hiiragi family to get involved.

"Hmph." Kujo Takayuki's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he also said in a calm tone, "Sara just made a basic mistake that everyone makes, which is to underestimate the enemy and be too eager to eliminate the rebellion."

“I understand, but I will take care of this problem myself, because I will personally lead the Shogunate army to wipe out all those rebels.”

After saying these words, Kujo Takayuki left because the matter concerning the resistance army needed to be resolved quickly.

He needs to resolve this matter within a month at the latest.

If he had previously intended to cultivate a resistance army to become his weapon and eliminate those who stood against him...

Now, Kujo Takayuki felt that this sharp weapon was beyond his expectations, and he had to quickly wipe out the resistance.

Kujo Sara failed twice, and Kujo Takayuki became somewhat dissatisfied with his adopted daughter, so he decided to personally lead the team to annihilate the rebels.

After Kujo Takayuki left, Kamisato Ayato silently took out a cup of milk tea from his sleeve and slowly drank it, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Afterwards, Ayato Kamisato left the castle tower. He glanced at Inazuma Castle and then at Narukami Taisha Shrine on the distant mountain.

Su Hao left Inazuma, the palace official left Inazuma, and now the general has also left Inazuma.

Is there any connection between these things? The general who issued the order to hunt down the enemy and the order to close the country has recently suddenly changed his mind and allowed Su Hao and the palace guard to leave Inazuma.

Something must have happened; that's certainly intriguing.

"but……"

A resolute glint flashed in Ayato Kamisato's eyes. Kujo Takayuki's personal leadership in suppressing the rebels had given him an opportunity.

Perhaps, through this operation, the magistrate could gain control of most of Inazuma Castle.

Previously, the Heavenly Commander had been interfering in these matters, and the Society Commander had been unable to intervene. Now, however... if the resistance forces are effective...

Soon, Ayato Kamisato suppressed his thoughts, because Takayuki Kujo wasn't that stupid, and the Shogun had only been gone for two days.

If I do something at this time, things will probably get worse. I should continue investigating what the Kujo family has done.

Although the Inazuma Fools have calmed down recently, it doesn't mean they've truly calmed down.

With that thought in mind, Ayato Kamisato prepared to go back.

Inazuma remains a place where undercurrents are still swirling.

On the sea not far from Inazuma, dark clouds gathered, the wind howled, and the waves surged. A merchant ship heading to Liyue looked particularly pitiful in such an environment.

On deck, the captain and sailors were doing their best to stabilize the ship and prevent it from being blown back to Inazuma. If the course was forcibly changed like this, they didn't know where it would be blown to.

That would be a very, very bad situation, because who knows how many terrifying creatures roam the waters near Inazuma.

And even here... the seabed isn't so calm.

"boom--!!"

A thick octopus tentacle rose from the sea and landed on the deck of the ship.

Clearly, this ship has been targeted by the monsters in the sea.

"roll!"

As a cold female voice rang out, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, severing the octopus's tentacles. A crackling purple lightning appeared on the sea surface.

"These sea monsters are really persistent."

On the ship, Yae no Miko, whose face looked unpleasant, looked at the octopus tentacle and said coldly, "This is already troublesome enough."

"You sea monsters dare to come here? You're just asking for death."

Yes, Yae no Miko is on this ship. After she obtained the permission to travel abroad from Lei Movie, she originally did not want to go abroad.

Upon learning of the existence of the [Special Empty Shell Doll], Yae no longer wanted to wait in Inazuma. She was more interested in studying that thing than the concentrated resin in her hand.

Yes, this thing is the hope for the true resurrection of Raiden.

While concentrated resin is important, it's not enough for Yae no Miko to abandon everything in Inazuma and go to Liyue or Mondstadt to find Su Hao.

But the [Special Empty Shell Doll] is different. This thing is too important to Inazuma right now. He has to go there, participate in the research process, and then try to replicate something similar.

If the consciousness of the finality were to enter the [specially made empty shell doll], who knows what changes would occur.

For this reason, Yae no Miko decisively abandoned what she was doing and ignored the resistance and other matters concerning Inazuma.

As the biggest mastermind behind Inazuma, Yae no Miko's importance to Inazuma is beyond doubt, and she is also very clear about her own importance.

But lightning is even more important to Inazuma. With her, Inazuma could go back five hundred years, which is no joke.

After all, the reason why Inazuma was able to prosper so much back then was not only due to the great demons and the strong humans, but also largely due to other factors.

The reason is that Inazuma has two gods, one in charge of managing Inazuma and the other in charge of military deterrence.

In a sense, he is somewhat similar to the current Rock King Emperor.

The difference is that the Rock King Emperor is not only good at fighting, but also unexpectedly strong in governance.

If Raiden Shin were to return to Inazuma, she could also govern the country. Raiden Shin could simply be a shadow dancer, enjoying sweets, honing his martial arts skills, and watching Inazuma enjoy his good life.

What? As for what to do about General Raiden? Raiden really has returned! General Raiden will naturally adapt to the situation.

Such a bright future, and now I'm trapped on this sea—what a humiliation!

Even the usually good-tempered Yae no Miko was not so good-tempered at this moment, but she was helpless against the weather. If the wind and waves were smaller, she might be able to do something.

But now, with such a huge storm, a storm said to be a once-in-a-century event, she can only accept her bad luck.

"As expected of Lord Gongsi."

"If it weren't for Lord Gongsi on the ship, we would probably have been eaten by sea monsters long ago."

"Although we encountered a storm that is rare in a century, we were very fortunate to meet Lord Kuji."

The captain and sailors were discussing it animatedly, clearly not the first time they had witnessed such a scene; after all, their ship was far too conspicuous on the high seas.

Sea creatures possess a certain level of intelligence, and some are naturally hostile towards humans. They may attack without provocation, or even just out of a playful attitude.

If it weren't for Yae no Miko on this ship, the captain would probably have considered whether to return to Inazuma immediately, wait for this once-in-a-century storm to subside, and then continue sailing.

Faced with everyone's praise, Yae no Miko revealed a rather hypocritical smile, reassuring them that with her, the shrine maiden of Narukami Shrine, there was nothing to worry about.

The captain and crew then resumed their efforts, moving at a snail's pace towards Liyue. They were doing their utmost, but to no avail.

Just then, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky.

As if sensing something, Yae no Miko looked up at the sky and saw a figure standing there.

"Son of God?"

General Raiden looked at the Yae no Miko on the ship below, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, and slowly said, "Didn't you set off for Liyue three days ago? How come you've only just arrived here?"

Although General Raiden has never sailed out, he expressed doubt that Yae no Miko is still within Inazuma's territory and has not yet entered the sea area where Liyue and Inazuma meet.

In any case, three days have passed; the other party should have reached a distant place by now.

However, General Raiden quickly shook her head, not thinking too much about it. She was in a hurry and was just surprised that the Divine Child was still in the Inazuma Sea.

"!!!!!!"

Upon seeing General Raiden, Yae no Miko was briefly shocked, then suddenly remembered what Su Hao had said in the group chat.

Her face lit up with surprise, and she cried out, "General!!! Take me with you!!! I'll go find Su Hao with you!!!"

"Shua——!!!"
