In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

Today, the Oni and Human races coexist in Inazuma. Although there are still grudges between the two races, there is no situation where one side will actively provoke the other.

Araki Ichito is an oddball among the oni. His favorite thing to do is play various games with children, and he is often the one who loses.

If he occasionally beats a child, he will snatch the other child's snacks and, back in the Ara-Taki faction, shamelessly claim them as his spoils of war.

Therefore, Araki Ichito was a regular at the town magistrate's office and even became familiar with the prison guards.

"Don't be fooled by Ryouji's seemingly cold exterior. He's actually very popular with children, and he really likes them, right?" Yoomiya smiled, her eyes narrowed.

"No, it's not..."

"See? I told you he really likes kids."

"..."

Yui Suzumiya seemed to have gotten used to Yoomiya often ignoring what she said.

"Is that so?" Araki Ichito perked up at these words. "My name is Araki Ichito, the leader of the [Araki Faction], and the strongest man in Hanamiban. How about that? Got it?"

"Hello, Ichito. Goodbye, Ichito."

Eager to retrieve his prized weapon, Suzumiya Yuu had no intention of wasting time here. But just as he turned to leave, Araki Ichito blocked his way.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't ignore me. Since Yonomiya says you're popular with kids, let's have a real man's duel."

After rubbing his hands together in anticipation, Araki Ichito took out a deck of cards from his person.

"Uh..."

"Come on, I'm really good at playing cards. The loser has to treat everyone here to something to eat."

So, Suzumiya Yu was forced to play cards with Araki Ichito, but he lost because he was unfamiliar with the rules.

"Hahaha! I am indeed invincible!" Having won his "duel" with Ryoumiya Yu, Araki Ichito stood with his hands on his hips, laughing proudly to the sky.

Ryou's lips twitched involuntarily. If this were a deserted wilderness, he probably would have already drawn his sword to kill people... no, he would have drawn his sword to kill ghosts.

"Big brother lost...but it's okay, we can have snacks now."

As agreed, Suzumiya Yu bought a serving of three-colored dumplings for everyone present, including Yoomiya and Araki Kazuto.

After buying the food, Araki Kazuto took the children to play other games, leaving only Suzumiya Yu and Yomiya behind.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry. That's just how Ichito is. He's very competitive, and he takes even children very seriously. But once you get used to it, you'll find that he's actually a very kind person."

Yoomiya thought that Suzumiya Yu was upset because she lost the game, so she kept comforting her.

Suzumiya Yuu, of course, didn't care about such things. It was just a loss in a card game, and she could win it back next time. Although... she didn't know if there would be a next time.

"By the way, is there something you need to do here today?" Although Suzumiya Yuu didn't say it, Yonomiya could guess that he wasn't a resident of Inazuma Castle, otherwise he wouldn't have only seen him three times in such a long time.

"Yes, I'll get the weapons." Ryouko told Yomiya the purpose of her trip, since it wasn't something she needed to deliberately hide.

"I see... By the way, do you have the Eye of God?" Yonomiya suddenly thought of this question.

No.

"Oh, you're so powerful, but you don't have the Eye of God. I thought your Eye of God had been taken away by the Heavenly Commander."

Chapter 79 Suzumiya Yu: Actually, I want to be a good person

"Why do you think I'm so amazing?" Ryou was a little surprised. She had only played with the child twice, yet Yoshimiya could tell that he was very strong.

"Because your aura is different from that of ordinary people. I saw the Shogun at the castle tower before, and she exuded a kind of frightening aura. You are similar."

"Then why do you still let me let those little guys play with me? Aren't you afraid I might do something bad to them?"

Suzumiya Yu was puzzled. If he thought she was so scary, wouldn't it have been the best option to report it to the Heavenly Commander? Why let him play with children?

Yomiya explained, "Because I think everyone has their own difficulties. They have to do certain things for certain reasons, and even if they are disliked, they don't care. I believe you must feel the same way."

Upon hearing this, Suzumiya Yuu was momentarily at a loss for words. He simply stared at Yuu in surprise, while the other responded with a smile.

"Why...why do you think that?" After a long while, Suzumiya Yu finally voiced her confusion.

"It was my intuition. I was a little worried at first, but after seeing how well you got along with those little guys, I stopped worrying."

Ryoko Yu wants to be a good person, but his own character setting doesn't allow him to do so.

Just like what Yomiya said, if you have to do certain things for certain reasons, it doesn't matter if people hate you.

Suzumiya Yu is a demon. He must devour people's flesh and blood to survive, otherwise he will perish. From this point of view alone, he cannot coexist with humans.

Even if he doesn't want to harm humans, humans will fear him because of his design, and that will never change.

Over the past year, Yui Suzumiya has killed many people, including both good and bad, and even ordinary people who are powerless.

From a ghost's perspective, he just wanted to survive, so he did nothing wrong. But what about from a human's perspective?

Trampling on life, every part of the body is filled with danger, and just the sight of its ferocious side is enough to terrify people into immobility.

Suzumiya Yuuya had also felt confused. Why did he have to become like this? After all, he was once human, so in the beginning, he strongly resisted this new body.

There are no drugs in the system shop that can turn demons into humans. If there were, Suzumiya Yu would definitely use all her points to exchange for them.

"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? The ...!"

The girl's shouts interrupted Suzumiya Yu's deep thoughts. He came back to his senses and found that Yomi was waving her hand in front of him.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly look like you're contemplating life? Tenmoku Tatsuya has arrived."

Extending her slender finger, Yui pointed to the side. Since the Naganohara fireworks shop wasn't far from Tenmoku Tokujiya, they arrived in no time. However, Yui hadn't noticed because she was thinking.

"Sorry, I was lost in thought." The resolve I had just made to be a good person vanished instantly.

With a blank expression, Suzumiya Yu walked up to the busy Asou and said calmly, "I'll get the knife."

Wiping the sweat from his face, Asou looked up and, upon seeing that it was Suzumiya Yu, immediately turned around and called out to the store.

"Master! That samurai has come to collect his sword!"

When Asou heard that the embroidered knife that Suzumiya Yu had sent was the legendary Hakuen Manko Tenmoku, he was initially incredulous. After accepting this fact, his attitude towards Suzumiya Yu changed drastically, and he even added the word "Sir" to his address.

Soon, the hunchbacked Tenmu Fifteen walked out of the shop, holding in his hand the newly renovated Thin Edge Full Radiance Tenmu.

The scabbard has been completely refurbished, but since the blade is not visible, it is impossible to determine whether it has been reforged.

When a blade is damaged to a certain extent, the swordsmith will choose to reforge it; the Mist-Cutting Blade is one such example.

However, instead of recasting the thin-edged, fully-glossed Tenmoku, Tenmoku Fifteen added some new materials after polishing it.

These materials came from the Tenmoku Shadow Blade, a family heirloom of the Tenmoku school. In order to repair the Thin Edge Full Light Tenmoku, Tenmoku Fifteen chose to dissolve it and incorporate a portion of it into the damaged Thin Edge Full Light Tenmoku.

Suzumiya Yu took the brand-new blade, weighed it in her hand for a while, and found that there was nothing wrong with it.

After that, he took out a portion of the blade. Although it wasn't reforged, the patterns on the blade were refurbished, and the visual effect was quite good.

Nodding in satisfaction, Ryou was about to take out her money when Tenmoku Juu refused.

"No need to pay. Being able to repair this peerless katana forged by my ancestors is already a blessing I've accumulated over several lifetimes. I only hope that you can use it to do more good deeds in the future and not disgrace the name of the Heavenly Eye."

Tenmoku looked reluctantly at the thin-edged, fully-glowing Tenmoku in Ryou's hand. If he could, he would very much like to keep it, but there was an unwritten rule in the samurai world.

Famous swords belong to those with the ability to possess them. If others wish to obtain them, they must challenge the sword's owner and are not allowed to use any underhanded means.

Only by defeating the opponent can one rightfully possess that famous sword.

The samurai spirit originated in Inatsume in ancient times and has continued to this day without disappearing. In fact, it has become the basic philosophy of most Inatsume people.

As for Suzumiya Yu... asking him to use that knife for good deeds? That's definitely impossible.

"Don't worry, Suzumiya isn't a bad person, he definitely won't let you down." Before Suzumiya Yu could speak, Yoshimiya spoke up and agreed on his behalf.

Hey, don't always say that. If this were a cultivation world, how much karma would I have to bear for saying that?

"I'll try my best." Ryouji took out the sword from her waist and put the Thin Edge Full Radiance Tenmu into it.

At the same time, he handed the sword he had been carrying earlier to Tenmoku Fifteen.

"This is a high-quality replica of the Tenmoku sword. Although it is not as good as the real thing, it was passed down from a certain sword-doing school. I'll leave it to you as a souvenir."

The sword was obtained from Iwakura Mitsuzo, and Suzumiya Yuu found it quite easy to use. Because its quality was much higher than the swords she had used before, it did not show any signs of damage.

Now that he already has the genuine Thin Edge Full Radiance Tenmoku, Suzumiya Yu doesn't need this high-quality replica. Giving it to Tenmoku Fifteen like this will make him owe him a favor.

Tenmoku Fifteen naturally did not refuse, after all, it was a famous sword forged by craftsmen hundreds of years ago, and if it were auctioned, it could easily fetch an astronomical price.

Chapter Eighty: The Lady Arrives

After leaving Tenmoku Forgehouse, Yoomiya planned to go home to continue preparations for the winter fireworks festival, while Suzumiya Yuu, who had nothing to do, also planned to go back, so the two could travel together for a while.

"By the way, Suzumiya, do you like fireworks in winter?" Suzumiya suddenly asked this question while walking down the street.

"Uh... why single out winter? Are winter fireworks different from fireworks in other seasons?"

Suzumiya Yuu didn't know much about fireworks, nor had he ever attended a fireworks display. In his mind, fireworks were just fireworks; apart from their visual appeal, they had no other special features.

Weddings, funerals, festivals... these are all occasions where fireworks are used. However, since the prototype of Inazuma is Japan, it is not impossible that fireworks have other uses.

"Of course there's a difference! The best season for fireworks is summer, when Narukami Island hosts many festivals, and fireworks are one of the most important parts of them. Also, the company commissioner always gets his fireworks from my house, so I always prepare everything in advance."

"But this time is a little different. There wasn't supposed to be a winter fireworks display, but as you know, something like that happened on Narugami Island recently, and everyone in the city seems to have become much more depressed."

"So, I applied to the company magistrate for this winter fireworks display, hoping to take this opportunity to cheer everyone up, so that they won't be frowning all the time, which is so unsightly."

Xiaogong's mouth seems to never stop once it starts, and it never gets to the point. Despite saying so much, it has nothing to do with the question she just asked.

"You've arrived at your home."

As they walked, the two arrived at the Naganohara Fireworks Shop.

"Sigh, time really flies. I was going to tell you all the details about the fireworks display." Xiaogong sighed, looking quite regretful.

"That's all for now. Remember to come next time! I'll come find you!"

Yoomiya waved to Suzumiya Yu and watched him leave.

Suzumiya Yu quickly disappeared into the distance. As he walked into the White Fox Field, he was about to check if there were any Wild Fubuki members or treasure-hunting groups that wanted to rob him when he learned some news through Thomas's first-person perspective.

Yesterday, a ship from the Kingdom of Winter landed on the coast of an outlying island, and a stunningly beautiful woman disembarked.

Since the shogunate has completely broken ties with the foolish sect, people from Shifuku Province must undergo multiple checks before they can stay on the remote island.

Surprisingly, the woman from the Winter Kingdom passed the inspection of the Kansei Magistrate very easily, and no one saw her again after she entered the island.
