In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

"Alone?! That's incredible! Could it be that he's a wanted criminal on the Eye Hunt Order, seeking revenge?"

"How would I know? Kujo Sara, the Tenryo magistrate, seemed to be there too, but she couldn't do anything about that guy. Besides, that guy seemed to call himself... Kibutsuji Muzan."

"..."

Suzumiya Yu walked down the main street of Inazuma Castle, listening to the conversations of passersby.

Just yesterday, a bombshell piece of news spread throughout Narukami Island.

The shogunate army's camp at Kannazuka was attacked, resulting in heavy losses for the shogunate soldiers. Kujo Sara, the general in charge of the Tenryō (shogunate), informed Kujo Takayuki, the head of the Kujo family, of what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Kujo Takayuki was furious and immediately declared that he would spare no effort to find the attacker.

"Tsk, didn't they ever think of reporting this to General Raiden from beginning to end?"

Inside the izakaya, Suzumiya Yu swirled her sake glass, murmuring softly to herself.

The three officials were in charge of managing all affairs in Inazuma, including maintaining order and commanding the army.

What is happening in Inazuma now is, for example, a war is taking place between the shogunate army and the resistance army, resulting in the sacrifice of countless people; the talisman on Hachiyū Island has been destroyed, causing the residual power of the demon to run rampant; a mysterious person who claims to be Kibutsuji Muzan has attacked Kujō Jinya, causing heavy losses to the shogunate army.

General Raiden, the ruler of Inazuma, knew nothing about any of these things, and had never even heard of them.

In her heart, Inazuma is now gradually moving towards [eternity] because of the implementation of the national isolation edict and the eye-hunting edict.

The cause of this series of events was a diplomatic mission from the Kingdom of Winter – the Fools.

The Fools have a terrible reputation on the continent, so bad that they are comparable to the Treasure Thieves. If it weren't for the Ice God behind them, they would probably be hated by everyone long ago.

Perhaps the people of Inazuma will never have imagined that the three magistrates, whom they considered absolutely loyal to General Raiden, would also choose to betray them.

The three commissioners, namely the commissioner of the Imperial Censorate and the commissioner of the Heavenly Command, made a secret deal with the Fools, but the contents and purposes of the deal between the two commissioners were different.

The deal between Kansei-bu and the Fools was to collect all the crystallized bone marrow within Inazuma territory. Upon completion, the Fools would bestow upon Kansei-bu immense benefits.

The deal between Tenryo-bugyou and the Fools involved pushing for the implementation of the national seclusion edict and the Eye Hunting edict. The aim was the same: to obtain the benefits promised by the Fools, thereby consolidating his position in Inazuma.

Only the magistrate of the Kamisato family remained loyal to the shogunate and the Raiden Shogun. The Fatui might have gone to them, but based on Suzumiya Yu's understanding of the game's plot, the magistrate should have rejected the Fatui's proposal.

Originally, the Fatui's plan was going very smoothly. They succeeded in collecting crystallized bone marrow and promoting the implementation of the isolation edict and the eye-hunting edict.

However, Suzumiya Yu, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, disrupted their plans.

Although it is unknown what hidden methods the Fatui might have, the purpose of all their efforts is to obtain the Heart of God from General Raiden.

General Raiden is unaware of what is happening to Inazuma, so she will not intervene in the investigation, nor will she know that the Tenryo Magistrate and the Kansei Magistrate have betrayed her.

But what about now? The commotion caused by Suzumiya Yu is too great. With such an incident, the people will definitely feel extremely panicked. Under these circumstances, only the personal intervention of General Raiden can put their minds at ease.

But can General Raiden step forward? Of course not. If she did, the plans of the Fools and the two magistrates would be exposed, and all their efforts over such a long period of time would be in vain.

If the matter of Suzumiya Yu is not dealt with, the people on the island will panic again, and as the situation gradually worsens, General Raiden will inevitably hear some rumors.

Therefore, the Tenryo Magistrate is now in a dilemma. Unless they can get rid of Ryougu, their plan cannot continue.

......

"Kibutsuji Muzan... what a damned guy! Of all times, he has to jump out and attract attention like this."

Inside the Tenryo Magistrate's Office, Kujo Takayuki, who was over fifty years old, looked at the report in his hand concerning [Kibutsuji Muzan] and cursed angrily.

"Fortunately, Renzheng was unharmed, otherwise I would definitely not have let that guy off the hook."

"Shouldn't you Fools do something about it? Things have come to this point, and if you continue with this attitude, our plan will be exposed."

After venting his anger on the report, Kujo Takayuki turned his gaze to another person inside the mansion.

"Heh, the dignified Tenryo Magistrate has been made so pathetic by an unknown nobody whose name I've never even heard of before. The Kujo family is truly getting worse with each generation."

The boy's voice and appearance, his clothes in the style of a vagrant, and his contemptuous smile.

The sixth seat of the Fools' Executive Officers – the Scattered Soldier.

Chapter Thirteen: The Current Situation of the Kujo Family (Please add to your favorites and recommend)

"Hmph, although my Kujo family is no longer as powerful as it once was, it is still one of the most prestigious families in Inazuma. It's not as bad as you make it out to be."

Kujo Takayuki was dissatisfied with what the soldiers said, but he didn't dare to offend them too much.

Both the Heavenly Order and the Fools have their own objectives. If they were to fall out, the Heavenly Order would definitely be the one to suffer.

The Fools were, after all, just diplomatic missions from other countries, but the Kujo family, the Tenryo magistrate, was a prestigious clan that had been with the Raiden General since the early days of Inazuma's birth.

If people find out that the Kujo family colluded with the Jujutsu and concealed a series of major incidents from the public, they're doomed.

“They need the help of diplomatic missions from other countries to consolidate their own position. I said that the Kujo family is getting worse with each generation, and you still say that’s not true. It’s ridiculous.”

"Forget it, let's skip this topic. I have no interest in your Kujo family. Let's talk about that guy who calls himself Kibutsuji Muzan. Tell me, how much information do you have about him?"

The soldier's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression, because he was also somewhat angry that someone dared to disrupt their plans.

"Some time ago, rumors about the Crimson Calamity were circulating on the island. An unknown creature liked to attack lone people at night, and it never left any trace after it struck."

"Furthermore, he seems unable to operate during the day, as he only operates at night, and so far, no one has found any trace of him during the day."

“I didn’t expect him to dare to attack Kujo Jinya alone this time, because I hadn’t paid much attention to him before, so this is all the information I know about him.”

Kujo Takayuki revealed all the information he knew, which only drew ridicule from the stragglers.

"What a useless guy, so many people died and he only got this little bit of information."

The stragglers were right; so many people died, and even if you traded their lives for some useful information, you could still get some useful intelligence. But what Kujo Takayuki said didn't help solve the problem at all.

Kujo Takayuki clenched his fists, but uttered no rebuttal.

"Then what's your solution?"

"Don't worry, we Fools are much more efficient than you guys. Give me some time, and I'll find that guy."

After saying that, the soldier got up and left the Tianling Fengxing Mansion.

Upon arriving outside the mansion, he glanced at the castle tower, a symbolic building belonging to Inazuma, standing to the side.

After that, he left and went out onto the street.

At that moment, Suzumiya Yu walked out of the izakaya and disappeared into the crowd.

The two brushed past each other, and by the time they realized something was wrong, the other person had already disappeared.

......

Inside the Tenryo Magistrate's Office, Kujo Sara, who had just returned to Narukami Island from Kannazuka yesterday, was practicing archery in the backyard.

As she drew her bow and shot the arrow, she recalled the horrific deaths of the shogunate soldiers, causing the arrow to miss the bullseye.

Having practiced for several hours straight, she was already drenched in sweat. Looking at the arrows embedded in the courtyard wall, she sighed softly and decided to take a break.

She wiped the sweat off her body with a towel, picked up the tea set in the room, and drank it all in one gulp.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The shoji door was pushed open, and a young man walked in.

Upon seeing the young man, Kujo Sara quickly stood up and bowed to him.

That was the second young master of the Kujo family—Kujo Kamaji.

"Elder brother."

Sara Kujo is the adopted daughter of Takayuki Kujo; she does not possess pure Kujo blood.

"Sara, I heard that something terrible happened at Kannazuka, is it true?"

Kujo Kamaji entered the room and sat down opposite Kujo Sara.

Unlike Kujo Sara, who exudes an imposing aura, Kujo Kamaji appears quite refined, perhaps what one would call a scholar.

“Brother, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well, find the attacker, and bring him to justice.”

Kujo Sara's tone was firm, which was typical of her.

“That’s not what I meant,” Kujo Kamaji waved his hand. “What I wanted to ask was, how is my brother…?”

The elder brother that Kujo Kamaji mentioned refers to the eldest son of the Kujo family—Kujo Jinsei.

"Don't worry, my brother Jinsei is alive and well. He wasn't present when Kujo Jinya was attacked. I will pay more attention to his safety after I go back this time."

"That's really nice."

Hearing that Kujo Jinsei was alright, Kujo Kamaji finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Then, he raised his head and told Kujo Sara his true purpose for coming here.

"Three servants of the Kamisato family mysteriously disappeared yesterday and have not been found yet, so they came to us for help, hoping you can come forward to investigate the matter."

"I'm sorry, but I don't have the energy to deal with other things until I've resolved the matter with Kannazuka."

Kujo Sara quickly rejected Kujo Kamaji.

"The person I can ask for help from is the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, because one of the three missing servants is very important to her, so..."

“I’m sorry, elder brother, I respect you very much, but I cannot comply. So many shogunate soldiers died at Kannazuka because of my incompetence, so I must finish what I’m currently doing first.”

Kujo Sara's tough attitude made Kujo Kamaji's expression complicated.

In the end, he chose to tell the truth.

“Sara, your father… has ordered the removal of you from your position as a shogun and forbids you from interfering in what is happening in Kannazuka.”

"What? Why?!"

Kujo Sara stepped forward and grabbed Kujo Kamaji by the collar.

Realizing her recklessness, she quickly let go of his hand.

"I apologize, I got a little too agitated. Could you tell me why the head of the family did this?"

“I don’t know either. He seemed to say that he had found someone who could solve this problem.”

Kujo Kamaji's tone sounded somewhat helpless, and it was clear that he also opposed Kujo Takayuki's decision.

From the day Kujo Sara became the shogun, she became an irreplaceable leader in the eyes of the shogunate soldiers.

The reason why the shogunate army was able to repel the rebel army's attacks many times was because Kujo Sara managed the army well, and the soldiers respected her and never did anything to disobey her, and she herself never violated military regulations.
