Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"Speaking of which, Traveler, did you really burn this granary down? Did you send someone to tell me to come here so you could help me fight?"

"Huh? I sent someone to notify you? What are you talking about, Big Sister Beidou? I didn't send anyone to notify you to come here at all."

Ying and Beidou exchanged a bewildered glance. What was going on? Ying frowned; she needed some time to piece everything together.

"Paimon, Big Sister Hokuto, post about the burning of the granary on Haiji Island in the group chat and see what Kujo Sara has to say."

“If she is also unaware of this matter, then all the blame lies with the Fools.”

Chapter 287 Polar Reversal

Hokuto: 'General Kujo, how's the situation there?'

Kujo Sara: 'Everything here is proceeding according to plan. Captain Hokuto, has anything gone wrong on your end?'

Beidou: 'How should I put it? It was kind of an accident. The three granaries that held ninety percent of Haiqi Island's grain were burned down, completely destroyed.'

Kujo Sara: 'What? The granary was burned down? Have you found out who did it?'

Upon seeing the message from Hokuto on her phone, Kujo Sara glanced at Ayato Kamisato, who was drinking milk tea beside her. According to the information from her scouts, the Kamisato family's final battle had dispatched many skilled fighters to Umijima Island, and she wondered what kind of secret mission they were carrying out.

"Why are you looking at me, General Kujo? You don't actually think that all those people sent out for the final battle are just to burn down the granaries, do you?"

Ayato Kamisato felt extremely uncomfortable under Kujo Sara's suspicious gaze. This really wasn't something he had asked the Endgame crew to do. Ayato had been completely bewildered when he received the message on his phone earlier.

Despite Ayato's repeated insistence that he didn't order the Final Fan to do it, Sara remained skeptical. Kujo Sara didn't find much credibility in the words of this cunning fox-like fellow.

Paimon: 'Ying suspects it was the Fools who did it, but she has no evidence. She was just misunderstood by the people of Haiji Island; it's infuriating!'

Ayato Kamisato: 'I also think it was the work of the Fatui. I support the Traveler in investigating the Fatui.'

Kujo Sara: 'Even if you, head of the Kamisato family, say that, it doesn't absolve you of the fact that you sent the Last Summoners to Umijima Island to carry out the mission for the mysterious figure.'

Beidou: 'The head of the Kamisato family? That smiling guy... he may seem unreliable, but he probably wouldn't hide anything about something like this.'

Hokuto: 'Since it wasn't you, Kujo Taisho, who created it, then it must have been the Fatui. Those Fatui guys are truly despicable.'

Su Bai: 'Haiqi Island is so far away! I've been traveling for so long and I'm still not there. I'm exhausted.'

Kujo Sara felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the flashing messages on her phone. If the rebels found out that the food supplies on Umijima Island had been burned, the battle would likely not end easily.

No, she had to deal with the rebels before Coral Palace Heart Sea and the others received the message. Otherwise, once the news reached them, the casualties of the Shogunate army would be considerable.

"Pass on my order: all shogunate troops shall launch a full-scale attack in an encirclement manner. Apart from Sango Mikoto and Goro, the rest of the resistance fighters shall be executed regardless of their lives."

Kujo Sara calmly issued orders. If before she had wanted to capture the rebels alive, now, to minimize variables in the battle, she only wanted to annihilate them completely.

Seeing the shogunate army swarm out and surround the rebels like dumplings, Kujo Sara frowned. She was not satisfied with the speed. Seeing that Kamisato Ayato had no intention of making a move, Kujo Sara said coldly.

"Patriarch of the Kamisato family, I hope you can give it your all in the upcoming battle. If we don't resolve this quickly, the news that the granary on Haiqi Island has been destroyed will reach the rebels, and no matter what you're planning, it won't be good news."

"Don't worry, General Kujo. I know what I'm doing in such important matters. After all, I don't want to be sitting here peacefully in the Kamisato-yashiki one day, and then you, General Kujo, lead your men to surround it."

Ayato Kamisato narrowed his eyes and gave a vague answer to Sara Kujo. Sara Kujo glanced at Ayato Kamisato, her cool tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Toma can return to Kamisato-yashiki now. I won't cause you any trouble there for that reason. However, once you return to Kamisato-yashiki, you must not appear in Inazuma Castle at will. Otherwise, don't blame me for arresting you."

"General Kujo is so generous. Since General Kujo is so generous, it would be unreasonable for me not to do something in return."

A glint of light flashed in Ayato's eyes. He casually tossed the half-finished milk tea in his hand onto the ground. By the time Kujo Sara looked at Ayato again, Ayato had already rushed to the battlefield with his longsword in hand.

On the battlefield, the two sides had already clashed, but this time the situation had been completely reversed. The Shogunate army's numerical advantage had vanished, and a group of rebels were looking at the Shogunate army with smirks.

"Hey kid, weren't you guys chasing really hard just now? Keep chasing, why did you stop?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to fight us one-on-one? Come on, we'll give you the Shogunate army a chance. If one of you can defeat ten of us in a one-on-one fight, then we'll let you go."

Looking at the rebels before him, some strong and muscular, others with divine eyes, even the most naive squad leader of the Shogunate army knew they had been outmaneuvered by the rebels. Damn it, how could he have run into such bad luck?

The shogunate army squad leader was on the verge of tears. The previous squads had earned military merits, but how come his squad had been given a pension? These rebels were too cunning.

"Alright, stop wasting time talking to these shogunate soldiers. Quickly capture them all, otherwise we'll be in trouble if the main shogunate force realizes something's wrong."

Hearing their commander, Goro, say this, the surrounding rebels also picked up their weapons and glared menacingly at the shogunate army squad. The shogunate soldiers in this squad had considered escaping, but they found that as soon as they had the thought of fleeing, the rebels would raise their bows and arrows at them.

For a moment, this small squad of shogunate troops was completely at a loss. If they fought, they couldn't defeat the opposing resistance forces; if they fled, they might become targets for the resistance fighters.

“Rebels, you’re getting bolder and bolder. It seems necessary to wipe you all out today.”

A flash of lightning appeared, and Kujo Sara appeared before the rebels. The rebels were clearly not expected to see Kujo Sara. When they saw her, they were obviously stunned for a moment, and many of them, who were still traumatized by Kujo Sara, almost turned and ran away.

"Kujou Sara, do you think you can handle all of us by yourself?"

Goro gripped his bow and arrow tightly, his eyes filled with provocation as he looked at Kujo Sara. He knew this was the best opportunity to capture Kujo Sara, who was only skilled with a bow and arrow. If he could get close, he could take advantage of their numbers and capture Kujo Sara alive.

"Oh? You think you can defeat me with your numbers? That's a good idea. Unfortunately, this time I'm not alone, just like you."

As Kujo Sara finished speaking, the shogunate army, which had already formed an encirclement, surged forward like a tide. Their massive encirclement even forced Sango Mikoto to move from the rear to the front line.

Chapter 288 Missing Clues

Just as the battle on the front lines had begun, on Umijima Island, Ying was pondering the Fatui's purpose. After learning that this matter had nothing to do with Kujo Sara and the others, Ying felt that something was amiss on Umijima Island.

If we connect the known facts and then remove her as a variable, the original situation might be that Big Sister Beidou arrived at the burned-down granary, and at that moment, the rebels also arrived and happened to see Big Sister Beidou.

Then the rebels pinned the blame for burning the granary on Big Sister Beidou, and the rebels and Big Sister Beidou's Southern Cross Fleet would completely break off relations and turn against each other.

Moreover, without food, the rebels will attack the shogunate army even more fiercely. But even if the two sides fight a big battle, what role will the fools play and what benefits will they gain? There is nothing of high value on Umijima Island. Even if the fools wanted to sell food to Umijima Island, Umijima Island might not have enough Mora to buy it.

It seems that all of this is missing something crucial, that something is still unknown. As Ying thought about it, she felt a headache coming on. What was it that she didn't know?

"Speaking of which, that group of rebels seemed a bit strange. Resources are scarce on Haiqi Island, so how could there be such fat and strong rebels? It's really odd."

"Could it be the elite of the resistance on Haiqi Island? But that doesn't seem likely. Those elite resistance fighters wouldn't be so easy to talk to."

Looking in the direction the rebel group had left, Beidou stroked his chin in confusion and muttered a few words, while Paimon echoed his sentiments.

"Yeah, yeah, I have a feeling that the rebel group just now must often steal good food, otherwise they wouldn't be so strong and fat."

Wait a minute, so strong and fat, stealing good stuff. Resources are scarce on Haiji Island, so the only ones who could do this are probably the Fools hiding in the shadows. Oh no, that defeated resistance squad is probably in danger.

"Big Sister Beidou, Paimon, let's catch up with that rebel group quickly! They might be members of the Fools in disguise!"

After saying that, Ying chased after the direction the rebel team had left in, while Beidou slapped her forehead. She finally realized what was wrong. The rebel team didn't have the fishy smell of seafood on them. Seaweed is the main source of food on Haiqi Island, and the fact that the rebel team didn't have any fishy smell of seafood was very abnormal.

"Chao, you've tried to fool me, haven't you? Damn it, it seems necessary to teach these fools a lesson."

"Hey, don't run so fast, I can't keep up! And what do you guys know? Why don't I know anything about this...?"

Seeing Beidou and Ying run away in a flash, Paimon, still not understanding what had happened, could only chase after them. While chasing, Paimon did not forget to ask what had happened, but Beidou and Ying were anxious to catch up with the rebel group and had no time to explain to Paimon.

"Traveler, wait! I smell blood around here."

Having been exposed to the smell of blood for many years, Beidou is very sensitive to it. Although the forest here conceals various smells, Beidou still faintly smelled a bloody odor.

"Let's search the area. Hopefully, it's not those unlucky rebels."

"No, there's no need to look anymore. They should all have been killed by now."

Ying looked at the fragments of the rebel armor on the ground, a hint of sadness in her eyes. Beidou searched around and, being observant, quickly found a rebel corpse in a clump of grass. After turning over the body, Beidou found a photograph and a letter.

After glancing at a photo similar to this selfie, Beidou immediately recognized that the rebel was likely a member of the Fools in disguise. However, for some reason, the Fools seemed to have forgotten to remove their comrade's body.

As for the letter, after a cursory glance, Hokuto was somewhat skeptical of its authenticity. The letter stated that all the lower-level officials on Haigi Island had been bribed by the Fool Clan, and that the Fool Clan seemed to have obtained information that was very detrimental to the Kamisato family.

After thinking about it, Hokuto decided to privately discuss this matter with Ayato Kamisato. Their Southern Cross Fleet had some cooperation with the Kamisato family, and Hokuto wouldn't keep such a thing from her partners.

Beidou: 'Hey, head of the Shenli family, don't you Shenli family have some kind of leverage that Haizhi Island has over you? I found a letter on one of the Fools; besides saying that all the lower-level officials of Haizhi Island have been bribed by the Fools, that was all.'

Ayato Kamisato: 'What? Let me go ask Hayayu.'

In the midst of the battlefield, Ayato Kamisato leaned against a large tree and turned on his phone. After finding Hayaru, Ayato Kamisato couldn't wait to send her a private message.

Ayato Kamisato: 'Saya, how did the mission go?'

Zaoyou: 'Um... This... Master, I was just about to report to you that after we infiltrated the homes of those officials on Haiqi Island according to the intelligence, all of them were found dead in their homes, and all of them were killed with a single stab wound.'

Hayato: 'We, the members of the Final Fantasy, are gathering. On the way, some of our seniors saw some rebels running towards the battlefield. When we tried to intercept them, we were ambushed by the Fatui. We just finished dealing with those Fatui.'

Upon seeing the message from Hayato, Ayato Kamisato wasn't worried about the Kamisato family or Ayaka having any problems. After all, most of the people who could prove that the Kamisato family was secretly aiding Umijima were already dead. As long as he used some methods, Ayaka would be safe.

What bothered him more was why the Fools had killed all the officials of Umijima. Given the Fools' character, shouldn't they have next incited the people of Umijima to attack the Shogunate? Why did they abandon such a good ally now?

Just as Ayato Kamisato was pondering the purpose of the Fools, he suddenly noticed that a group of rebels seemed to be approaching the shogunate army's encirclement. Recalling the message that Yozu had sent earlier, Ayato Kamisato swiftly drew his sword and left the entire rebel squad in the woods.

"You want to pass on information from Haiqi Island? I'm sorry, but I can't let you through."

"However, how many of you are truly rebels? You've been infiltrated by the Fools without even realizing it. Coral Palace Heart Sea, you're nothing special."

Water washed away the bloodstains on the sword's edge. Ayato Kamisato looked at the fallen corpses on the ground without a trace of emotion in his eyes, as if he had just killed pigeons instead of people.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. He took charge of the Kamisato family at such a young age. If he wasn't ruthless, the Kamisato family would probably have been secretly devoured by other families long ago. Even though the Eighth Prince of the Divine Child openly protects the Kamisato family, the various families must have done plenty of things like sabotaging them behind the scenes.

Chapter 289 The Fools' Plot

"Brothers, hurry up! Lord Xinhai is just ahead!"

A voice came from deep in the woods. Ayato silently turned around and drew his sword again. As he expected, another group of rebels came to him.

"Gentlemen, this road is blocked."

A faint water element surrounded Ayato, and with the rebel corpses lying haphazardly on the ground, Ayato showed no trace of his usual gentleness; all that remained was a fierce killing intent and endless indifference.

Faced with Ayato in this state, the members of the resistance group swallowed hard; the pressure Ayato was putting on them at this moment was immense.

"Brothers, you guys go first, I'll hold this devil off!"

Just as this group of rebels was losing their fighting spirit, another group of rebels emerged from the other side of the woods. This group of rebels was not afraid of Ayato at all, and even let the first group of rebels go first.

Seeing his brothers looking like they were sacrificing themselves so that they could pass the message to Lord Shinkai, the first group of rebels gritted their teeth, bypassed Ayato, and ran toward the battlefield, shouting as they went.

"Brothers, hold on! I'll come to rescue you after I deliver this message!"

As the rebel group moved further and further away, Ayato Shinra finally looked at the rebel group blocking his way. Seeing that the rebel group had not made a move for a long time, Ayato Shinra sneered.

"Fellow members of the Fools, the people of Haiji Island have already gone far away, don't you intend to show your true faces to the world?"

"As expected of the head of the Kamisato family, his discerning eye is unmatched by ordinary people."

Seeing that they had been exposed, the group of Fools, disguised as the resistance fighters, simply stopped pretending and laid their cards on the table. Instead of making a move, the Fools asked questions with great interest.

"I don't know how the head of the Kamisato family discovered us. Even those rebels didn't notice our disguise."
