Despite being a general with exceptional strength and ability, Kujo Takayuki dismissed her from her post without a word.

Not only could she not accept it, but Kujo Kamaji and the soldiers of the shogunate also could not accept it.

“I’m sorry, Sara, this was my father’s decision, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Kujo Kamaji bowed his head, apologizing for his inability to do anything.

Kujo Sara remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a soft sigh.

"It's alright. Since it's the head of the family's decision, there must be a reason for it. I just need to follow it."

Although she said that, Kujo Sara was actually very unwilling inside.

She underestimated Suzumiya Yu's strength, which led to the Kannazuka tragedy. If she hadn't ordered the port to be sealed off, but instead sent people to search for Suzumiya Yu's whereabouts, things might not have turned out this way.

It's quite possible that Kujo Takayuki dismissed her from her position because he was disappointed in her.

"Since I have lost the right to investigate this matter, then I will do as my elder brother just said and deal with the case of the missing servant of the Kamisato family."

Obeying orders is a soldier's duty, and Kujo Sara is absolutely loyal to the shogunate and the Raiden Shogun. Even if she is treated like this, she will not have any complaints.

"Okay, then you should go to Kamisato Yashiki. Miss Ayaka is waiting for you."

......

"You...you are...Muzan Kibutsuji...ah!"

A wanderer was pierced through the body by Suzumiya Yu's merciless sword, and his life force quickly dissipated.

The camera zooms out, revealing a camp of the Wild Ambush, which has now been wiped out by him.

【Ding! 】

[Successfully devoured the target! Gained 8 points!]

Including the wild beasts she had devoured before, Suzumiya Yu has already gained over a hundred points on this trip.

It must be said that the points gained from devouring wild monsters are more than those gained from devouring other wild monsters.

If we're talking about the group that gains the fewest points from devouring, it would have to be the Treasure Thieves, because most of their members are weak and might not even be able to handle a Hilichurl.

As for Hilichurls... Suzumiya Yuu also tried to devour their flesh and blood, but she didn't gain any points at all, and the taste... well, let's not describe it.

Other monsters, such as the Fatui and Shogunate soldiers, yield a moderate amount of points when devoured, but some of them are quite powerful, and even the holders of the Eye of God may appear.

It's nighttime now, so Suzumiya Yu's commotion here won't be noticed. Besides, the Nobushi-shu is an illegal organization, so even if someone does notice, they'll probably just cheer.

After shaking off the blood from the blade, Ryoujiro sheathed the sword and was about to leave when his heart suddenly jolted.

Then, a picture flashed into his mind.

That's Wu Ye's first-person perspective.

Wuye is still holding back the shogunate army at Kannazuka, and no one should have discovered that he has returned to Narukami Island yet.

But now, through Usagi's first-person perspective, Suzumiya Yu sees that someone is chasing him.

The number of pursuers was considerable, and they were not Shogunate soldiers.

"The Fools..."

Soon, based on the pursuers' clothing and appearance, Suzumiya Yui recognized them as members of the Fatui Clan.

"It really came after all, even faster than I expected."

Suzumiya Yu muttered to himself. He had long expected the Fools to make a move against them. After all, his appearance had disrupted their plans, and they wouldn't just sit idly by.

However, the speed at which it happened was a bit too fast. He originally thought it would take about ten days, but he didn't expect that less than a week had passed before they started taking action.

He wasn't worried about the foolish hordes chasing Wu Ye, and Wu Ye was strong enough to handle them.

His only worry was the stragglers of the Fool Clan stationed in Inazuma.

The eleven executives selected by the Fools all possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary people; even those who also possess the Eye of God might not be able to defeat them.

Suzumiya Yuu doesn't know the exact strength of the skirmishers because it's not shown in the game.

However, based on the game's storyline, the strength of the scattered soldiers should be above that of Yae no Kami.

Who is Yae no Miko? A member of the Thunder God's familiar, possessing strength that can even rival that of a demon god.

Dvalin, the Stormterror, also a member of the Seven Families of the Gods, was enough to terrify the entire Mondstadt. The Eighth Prince must be no less formidable.

As for the fat dragon king of the Rock God family, needless to say, its strength is enough to rival the Seven Gods, and it should be the strongest divine familiar.

If her weakness isn't found, Suzumiya Yuu won't be afraid of the skirmishers, because they have no way to kill her.

But he was afraid that the stragglers would find his weaknesses.

Although Yui Suzumiya has now overcome the sunlight, it doesn't mean she's invincible.

In the original Demon Slayer manga, besides the sun, there is another thing that can kill demons.

Wisteria flowers.

The toxins in wisteria flowers can kill ghosts and inhibit their body regeneration. The principle behind this is that it directly destroys cellular tissue, causing the body to disintegrate from the inside out.

There are no wisteria flowers on the continent of Teyvat, but that doesn't mean there aren't similar plants.

Even if they don't actually have him, given the nature of the foolish crowd, they could use technology to develop a drug that could kill him as long as they obtained Suzumiya Yu's cells.

This is not impossible; judging from the Fatui's performance in the game, they really do have this ability.

This is also why Yui Suzumiya didn't want to assimilate many demons.

Once their numbers increase, the weaknesses of these creatures will be exposed, even if Yui Suzumiya is an exception.

Without absolute certainty, Suzumiya Yuu did not intend to take any risks, so he ordered Uya to hide for the next period of time and try not to be discovered, especially by the Fatui.

He would also reduce the number of times he took action himself, and each time he would clean up the scene thoroughly, leaving no trace of himself.

The ultimate goal of the Fools is simply to obtain the Heart of God from Raiden General. Even if Suzumiya Yu doesn't take action, someone will stop them.

So next, he might have to become like that scumbag boss, hiding away from being discovered.

......

"Miss Kujo Sara, it's been a long time."

At the Kamisato residence, Kujo Sara was ordered to investigate the disappearance of a servant of the Kamisato family. At the gate of the courtyard, she was led into the courtyard by a servant and saw a young girl walking towards her.

She has long, light blue hair, wears soft armor engraved with the Kamisato family crest, and has an elegant demeanor with a gentle smile always on her face.

That was the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family—Kamisato Ayaka, also known as the "White Heron Princess" by everyone on Narukami Island.

“Miss Ayaka, it’s been a long time. It seems like the last time we met was during the festival. We discussed some issues related to the guard arrangements, but things ended up being a bit unpleasant. I’m so sorry.”

Kujo Sara bowed very respectfully to Kamisato Ayaka, whose status was now much lower than Ayaka's due to being removed from the position of shogun.

Chapter Fifteen Investigation (Please add to your favorites and recommend)

"No need to be so polite. On the contrary, I should thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to help me with this matter. Now, please come and sit down with me."

After saying that, Ayaka Kamisato led Sara Kujo to a wooden table in the courtyard and ordered the servants to bring tea.

"This is what happened. The day before yesterday, I was away from the manor because I had some business to attend to, so I asked Thomas to handle some matters in the manor for me."

"But when I returned to the manor that night, I found that Thomas had disappeared, along with the two soldiers who were guarding the courtyard gate."

“I had people search for a long time, but we still couldn’t find the three of them. I also asked other people in the mansion, but they said they didn’t hear anything that day.”

“I felt that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed, so I had someone invite you over.”

When Ayaka Kamisato recounted the events to Sara Kujo, she even personally brewed her a cup of tea.

"Miss Sara, do you have any thoughts or clues about this matter?"

Kujo Sara picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and then put it back in its place.

"With only these clues, it's really going to be very difficult for you to get me to start investigating."

Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment immediately appeared on Ayaka Kamisato's face.

Putting aside the two missing soldiers, although Thomas was just a servant of the Kamisato family, he had taken care of her since she was a child and was like an older brother to her.

Now that Thomas has gone missing, Ayaka Kamisato is naturally eager to find him, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Sara Kujo to come over.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Kujo Sara is also powerless to do anything about this.

"I don't know what kind of investigation you conducted before, but now that I'm here, I'm definitely not going to leave empty-handed."

Just as Ayaka Kamisato was feeling disappointed, Sara Kujo suddenly continued.

"The clues you provided are of no help to me, so I will start the investigation from scratch, but only if you allow me to mobilize the manpower within the government. I cannot solve this matter by myself."

"Please feel free to contact them if you can find them."

......

Kujo Sara began her investigation. She first circled the headquarters of the company's magistrate, and then deduced that the other party may have sneaked in through a window on the second floor of the headquarters and then taken Thomas away.

Afterwards, she arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Years of fighting had made her eyes keen enough to notice even the slightest changes.

So she quickly discovered that the mud and stones on the ground had been disturbed.

By turning over one piece of mud and stone after another with her feet, she finally found a pool of liquid that had been buried under the mud and stones and had dried up.

Although the pool of liquid had almost disappeared, Kujo Sara could still tell that it was blood.

This indicates that the enemy attacked the two soldiers guarding the gate during their operation.

After that, she ordered people to search the surrounding area, leaving no corner unchecked, and she herself participated in the search.

"found it!"

The search lasted from noon until evening, and the group finally found the Forest of Guardians after tracing the path from the Kamisato-yashiki.

They found the bodies of the two soldiers. Because they had been exposed to the sun for two days, their bodies had begun to decompose and were extremely foul-smelling.

"vomit."

When Ayaka Kamisato and the other servants who were conducting the search saw this scene, they almost vomited. Only Sara Kujo was able to remain calm.
