In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

The eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, Kamisato Ayaka, was kidnapped and her whereabouts are unknown. According to Thomas, a servant who accompanied her at the time, the two of them were attacked by the Fools.

Although she managed to escape with all her might, Ayaka Kamisato was unfortunately taken away by them.

This news undoubtedly ignited the anger of the residents of Narukami Island.

Ayaka Kamisato, known as the "White Heron Princess," enjoys great prestige in Inatsume and is deeply loved by the people. Although this matter may be somewhat suspicious, under pressure, the Inatsume Shogunate still detained all the envoys of the Fools within Narukami Island.

Upon hearing that his younger sister had gone missing, the current head of the Kamisato family, Ayato Kamisato, immediately returned to his residence and ordered Toma to be imprisoned.

Unlike the public who readily believed the rumors, Ayato Kamisato considered Thomas the prime suspect because he had also disappeared for a period of time before Ayako Kamisato's disappearance.

Thomas had only been back for a day when Ayaka Kamisato mysteriously disappeared, and he was the one who was with her at the time. This could not possibly be a coincidence; it must have been done intentionally by someone.

However... Ayato Kamisato couldn't find any evidence. He sent people to search Thomas's room, but they found no clues. He even had Thomas tortured, yet he always appeared worried about Ayato Kamisato, which didn't seem like he was faking it at all.

No one could endure such physical suffering. Over time, Ayato Kamisato gradually dispelled his suspicions about Toma and ordered his release.

Now that Thomas is no longer a suspect, all the blame is now being placed on the Fools.

......

"Damn it! How could you pull this on me?"

At the headquarters of the Heavenly Rank Enforcement, a soldier looked at the report in his hand that restricted the activities of the Fools within the territory of Inazuma, and his veins bulged with anger.

“The situation is getting out of our control. All the blame is being directed at you Fools. That brat from the Kamisato family keeps urging me to arrest you. If you don’t come up with something soon, we’re doomed.”

Kujo Takayuki paced anxiously back and forth in the hall. As the disappearance of Kamisato Ayaka gradually escalated, the relationship between the Inatsuma Clan and the Fools had reached a point of irreconcilable conflict.

Everyone was calling for the expulsion of the Fools from Inazuma, and some even wanted the Heavenly Regency to execute all the Fools within Inazuma's territory.

Kujo Takayuki certainly didn't want to see that happen, because if the Fools suffered, their plan would be exposed, and then the entire Kujo family would be finished.

"Hmph, it seems I need to take matters into my own hands. I'd like to see what Muzan Kibutsuji is up to now that he's forced me to this point."

The soldiers were plotting their next move when suddenly the door to the headquarters of the Sky Territory was kicked open.

Then, Ayato Kamisato, the head of the Kamisato family, led a group of magistrate guards in, looking very aggressive.

"Ayato Kamisato?" Takayuki Kujo was taken aback at first, then roared in fury, "What do you mean by this? Are you planning a rebellion?"

After he finished speaking, more than a dozen guards from the Heavenly Commander appeared from both sides of the hall, confronting Ayato and the others.

From the day the Three Commissioner's Policy was implemented, no one in the Tenryo Commissioner's Headquarters had ever dared to act so recklessly; Ayato Kamisato was the first.

However, Ayato Kamisato was not without support. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which was engraved the family crest of the Raiden General, "Thunder Triple Tomoe".

“Someone reported to me that the Kujo family was colluding with the Fools and plotting to harm the Shogun. I reported this to the Shogun, and he specifically ordered me to come and arrest you.”

"What...you bastard! How could I possibly do such a thing!"

Kujo Takayuki hadn't expected the accident to happen so suddenly. He genuinely didn't know how his plan had been exposed, but for now, he could only desperately try to deny it, knowing that admitting to it would cost him his head.

"Is that so? But I remember you seemed to have given an order not long ago to temporarily imprison all the Fools' envoys at the town magistrate's office, so why... is he here?"

Ayato Kamisato pointed at the scattered soldiers. At first, he only had doubts, but the moment he saw the scattered soldiers, he was certain that the Kujo family had truly rebelled.

"this..."

"Since you have nothing to deny, then you two will come with me."

At Ayato Kamisato's command, the magistrate guards accompanying him stepped forward to take away Takayuki Kujo and his companion.

But at that moment, a loud laugh from a stragglers startled everyone.

"That's impressive. I didn't expect you to discover this. But I'm curious, what does your general plan to do with me? Will he kill me outright, or will he take everything from me again?"

Unlike Kujo Takayuki, who was already in despair, Sanbei was not afraid of Kamisato Ayato and his group. If the two sides were to fight, he could kill everyone present by himself.

"The general has ordered that if it is true that the Kujo family colluded with the Mujin clan, the leaders of both sides shall be temporarily imprisoned in the town magistrate's prison to await further orders."

"Really? But what if I don't go with you?"

The soldier's smile vanished, replaced by a sinister expression.

He was in a terrible mood, to the point of being extremely bad, so he didn't mind going on a killing spree here.

"If you arrest us, then we will have no choice but to take tough measures."

After saying that, the magistrate guards who followed Ayato Shinri picked up their weapons and charged towards the stragglers.

The soldier sneered and waved his hand lightly. A burst of lightning elemental energy blasted everyone away, including the guards of the Heavenly Territory.

"It seems that the Fools are planning to completely turn against our Shogunate."

Seeing the guard lying on the ground, Ayato Kamisato remained unfazed. He summoned his weapon from the alternate dimension and assumed a fighting stance.

"Since when did someone like you become qualified to talk to me like that?"

As the soldier raised his hand, preparing to finish off Ayato Kamisato, he suddenly sensed an incredibly familiar presence.

A surge of emotion welled up within him. He looked up at the ceiling of the Sky Territory Headquarters, but it seemed as if he could see much farther away.

"I see. I thought you wouldn't get involved. But thinking about it, what god would watch his people be killed? To even abandon what he created for this, what an utterly hypocritical fellow."

The raised hand slowly lowered, and the lightning element attached to it disappeared.

"You should thank your Lady Oogami properly; she's the one who saved your life."

Before Ayato could even understand what she meant, the scattered soldiers vanished from their spot and disappeared into the distance.

Chapter Twenty-One: Hideout Exposed

【Ding! 】

[Successfully devoured the target! Gained 6 points!]

Countless corpses of the Fools lay before her. After devouring the last one, Suzumiya Yuu turned and left.

This place is very close to his hideout. Recently, quite a few members of the Fatui have come looking for him, but he has found and dealt with them all.

On the contrary, Suzumiya Yuu has not seen a single member of the Shogunate army from the beginning until now.

It has been about ten days since Ayaka Kamisato was captured. A few days ago, Yui Suzumiya sent a letter to Ayato Kamisato, the head of the Kamisato family.

The letter stated that the Kujo family colluded with the Fools to secretly plot against General Raiden.

Through Thomas's first-person perspective, Suzumiya Yui sees the outcome of this matter.

The plans of both sides were exposed. The scattered soldiers of the Fools' Corps caused a disturbance at the headquarters of the Tenryo Magistrate, but escaped unscathed. Meanwhile, Kujou, the head of the Kujou family, was imprisoned.

From then on, the Kujo family's reputation in Inazuma plummeted, while the Kamisato family, who exposed them, became the number one family in Inazuma overnight.

However, Ayato Kamisato didn't care about these things; his only worry was his younger sister, Ayaka Kamisato.

Although the Kujo family's collusion with the Fatui has been exposed, Ayaka Kamisato still has no whereabouts. Even when questioned, the Fatui members who are imprisoned all say they don't know.

......

That night, Suzumiya Yui personally prepared a rice dish with tea, a favorite of Kamisato Ayaka.

Wuye stood outside the wooden house. Suzumiya Yu gave him the order to watch over Kamisato Ayaka while he was away, to prevent her from escaping.

Upon entering the secret room, Ayaka Kamisato, whose limbs were bound by chains, was sitting in the corner with her head buried in her knees. She didn't even look up when she heard someone coming.

Because she knew that, apart from Suzumiya Yu, no one would come to see her in this place.

"This is your dinner."

Suzumiya Yu placed the tea-soaked rice at Kamisato Ayaka's feet.

Unlike Thomas, during the ten-odd days that she was imprisoned, Suzumiya Yu allowed her to do many things, and even took her out for a bath, since it wouldn't do for a girl to be dirty.

Ayaka Kamisato was quite obedient. At first, she did have the idea of ​​escaping, but after several failed attempts, she realized that she couldn't escape on her own.

Unless someone finds her, defeats Suzumiya Yu, and takes her away.

However, in the past ten days or so, apart from Ryouko and Usagi standing guard outside the wooden house, she had not seen anyone else.

Furthermore, Ayaka Kamisato was very curious: Suzumiya Yuu kept saying he wanted to have her, but under these circumstances, he didn't do anything excessive to her.

If she says she doesn't want to see him, Ryoumi Yu will leave immediately, which she finds very puzzling.

Every time dinner was brought to her, Ryou would sit beside her for a long time until she said she wanted to sleep and rest, and today was no exception.

Over time, Ayaka Kamisato found that she didn't seem to hate Yui Suzumiya as much anymore, because in her eyes, Yui Suzumiya wasn't the bloodthirsty demon that people said she was.

However, even after doing such a despicable thing, Ayaka Kamisato still couldn't forgive him.

Suddenly, a loud bang came from outside the secret room, causing the surrounding walls to shake slightly.

Ayaka Kamisato immediately raised her head, looked up at the sky, and a smile appeared on her face.

Someone has arrived; they are currently engaged in battle with Wuye.

Surprisingly, Suzumiya Yuu did not panic because of this unexpected turn of events. He remained seated next to Kamisato Ayaka and spoke slowly after a moment.

"Don't be happy. Someone has indeed come, but they're not here to rescue you."

Suzumiya Yui stood up from the ground and turned to look at Kamisato Ayaka beside her.

"Eat this rice with tea. After you finish, I'll move you to another base."

After saying that, he left the secret room.

Outside the wooden house, various elements bloomed in the air, and Wu Ye, holding a sword, was locked in combat with more than a dozen members of the Fools.

His strength far surpasses that of his opponent. The special constitution of a demon allows him to recover in a very short time even if he suffers severe injuries.

On the contrary, those Fools, who originally planned to wear down Wu Ye with a war of attrition, found that not only did they fail to weaken Wu Ye's fighting power, but their numbers dwindled as the battle progressed.

If this continues, they will be killed by Wu Ye alone.

"They really did come..."

Ryou Suzumiya stood outside the wooden house, his blood-red eyes looking particularly eerie in the moonlight. He narrowed his eyes and kept scanning his surroundings, as if searching for something.

He had already guessed that his hiding place would be discovered, and that it would happen in the last few days, but the other party arrived faster than he had expected.

Fortunately, it is nighttime; if it were daytime, Wuye would have lost its ability to fight.

"Thunder Breathing - First Form - Thunderclap Flash - Six-Hit Combo!"

A golden lightning bolt ripped through the night sky as Suzumiya Yu darted back and forth among the members of the Fools. When he stopped, they all collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

He wasn't going to waste time with these small fry. Their hideout had been discovered, and they needed to move immediately, or things would get very complicated.
