Su Bai: 'What? The second young lady of the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild actually needs to eat kidneys to nourish her body?'

Xiangling: 'What? The second young lady of the Feiyun Merchant Guild has been drained dry and is eating kidneys every day to replenish her strength?'

Hu Tao: 'What? The second young lady of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has drained many people dry, and Inazuma's kidney supply is running low?'

Yonomiya: 'Oh, so that's how rumors start. That's quite an eye-opener.'

Kaiya: 'The second young lady of the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild? I remember Lord Xingqiu was a man? Could it be that she's been disguised as a woman all this time?'

Xingqiu: 'What?! What is all this nonsense?! You guys shouldn't spread rumors, okay? And I'm a man!'

Abedo: 'Lord Xingqiu, if you need anything, you can contact me privately. Abe and I have recently been studying General Shiki and have a lot of experience in some unusual areas.'

Su Bai: 'Abedo, did you emerge from the secret realm?'

Abedo: 'That's right, I did come out, but it seems Abedo gained something in this secret realm and is currently unconscious. I carried him to Narukami Shrine, and Yae no Tsukasa is checking if Abedo's brain has been damaged.'

Su Bai: '...Goodness, Abe should be fine. After all, it's a secret realm left behind by an Onmyoji from Inazuma; there shouldn't be any danger.'

Abedo: 'I don't know, but it looks like there shouldn't be any problem.'

Abedo: 'By the way, Su Bai, remember to let me know when you leave Inazuma and return to Liyue. I'll be bringing Klee as a diplomat to help you in Liyue.'

Su Bai: 'Okay, then Abedo, pack your things. It should be in the next few days.'

While Su Bai and Abedo were discussing what to be careful about when leaving, Ying had already taken Zaoyou to investigate the group that was maliciously monopolizing the statue of Mikage Narukami.

"Zaoyou, where should we start our investigation now? We have a piece of clothing belonging to that group, but many people in Inazuma wear clothes of this color, so it's not very realistic to investigate them one by one."

In a secluded corner, Zaoyou and Ying looked at the piece of clothing in their hands with some distress. They had clearly seen a strange person, but because that person ran too fast, they only managed to grab a piece of clothing.

"I was originally planning to use my salary to buy a statue of the Great Master of the Imperial Guard from those people, but now that this has happened, I have no choice but to ask a friend of mine for help."

"I hope my friend is still Kamisato Yashiki."

After struggling with her cute little face for a while, Zaoyou finally made up her mind and ran towards the direction of Kamisato House with Ying. Paimon, who was completely bewildered, saw Zaoyou running away with Ying and immediately followed after her.

"Hey, you two, slow down!"

Perhaps because Kujo Sara's serious demeanor was too frightening to Hayato, after learning that the statue of Mitake Narukami, the Grand Master of the Imperial Palace, was bought for Kujo Sara, Hayato felt unusually awake for the first time in a long time.

Chapter 330 The Strange Ayaka

Inside the Kamisato residence, after Hayato and Hotaru entered, Hayato saw Kagero-maru lazily sunbathing on the grass and immediately ran to his side to talk to him.

Seeing that the friend Zayu mentioned was Kagero-maru, Ying felt much more at ease. She had sparred with Kagero-maru before when she saw him practicing swordsmanship, and for a slayer, Kagero-maru was a very reliable partner.

"Traveler, you've arrived! Thomas just made some snacks, would you like to try some?"

Ayaka Kamisato's gentle voice reached Ying's ears. Ying turned around and saw Ayaka Kamisato slowly walking towards her with a plate of delicate pastries.

"Hey? Snacks! I want some! I want some!"

Upon hearing that there were snacks to eat, Paimon immediately abandoned Ying and flew towards Ayaka Kamisato. Paimon, who was already good friends with Ayaka Kamisato, didn't stand on ceremony with her and grabbed a snack, stuffing it into his mouth. The incredibly delicious snack instantly captivated Paimon.

Seeing Paimon's satisfied expression, Ying became curious about the taste of the sweets. Seeing that Ying was interested in trying the sweets, Ayaka took Ying to the pavilion in the Kamisato Residence.

"Traveler, have a taste. It took Thomas a long time to learn this."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Ayaka."

Ying picked up a pastry and savored it carefully. To be honest, the taste of this pastry was truly a pleasant surprise. Thomas really deserves to be called the perfect housekeeper; his skills are simply amazing.

Feeling unsatisfied after eating one pastry, Ying picked up another under Paimon's watchful eye. Because Paimon has a small mouth, Ying finished her first pastry just as Paimon had eaten half of it.

"Ayaka, is there something you need? If so, just tell me."

While eating her snacks, Ying noticed the hesitation on Ayaka's face and immediately offered to help her solve the problem. Paimon wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth and chimed in.

"That's right, that's right. Linghua, just tell us what's wrong, and we'll definitely help you."

Hearing what Ying and Paimon said, Ayaka nodded as if relieved, her gentle voice revealing a hint of nervousness as she asked.

"Luminous, Paimon, do you know anyone who is very familiar with the laws of Liyue? I have some questions I'd like to ask her, but I don't know who to ask."

"Regarding this issue, I thought it meant Ying and I were going to eliminate some kind of enemy."

“That’s easy. Linghua, find someone named Yanfei in the group. She’s a law expert in Liyue. She can answer any questions you have about the law.”

"Just mention my name and the traveler's name when the time comes, and it will definitely work."

Paimon patted his chest and assured Ayaka that he was very grateful. Ayaka thanked him and had Thomas bring over a few more plates of snacks for Paimon.

“Well, traveler, we should set off now. I’ve already spoken with Kagerou, and he’ll help us find the owner of that piece of clothing.”

"Traveler, if you have other things to do, then go ahead and take care of them. You can come and visit Kamisato Yashiki when you have some free time."

Seeing that Hayato had come to find Hikari, Ayaka did not keep Hikari to continue talking. After watching Hikari leave Kamisato House, Ayaka immediately took out her phone and found a person named Enhi in the group chat.

Ayaka Kamisato: "Um, is Ms. Yanfei there? I have a few questions about the laws of Liyue that I'd like to ask her."

After sending the message, Linghua stared nervously at her phone screen, but Yanfei didn't keep her waiting long. Just half a minute later, Yanfei replied to Linghua.

Yanfei: 'Miss, you can ask me any questions you have. However, if you want me to help you get someone out of the Liyue prison, don't waste my time. I'm just a legal expert, not some high-ranking official in Liyue.'

Yanfei glanced at the four characters "Shinri Ayaka" on her phone screen. This was clearly someone from Inazuma's side. Combined with the fact that the Chiyan Army had captured a group of samurai who had smuggled themselves from Inazuma to Liyue this morning, Yanfei strongly suspected that this person was the one behind those samurai.

Ayaka Kamisato: "No, no, Miss Yanfei, you misunderstand. I just wanted to ask if the laws of Liyue have any effect on the immortals of Liyue?"

Yanfei: 'Huh? Um, that's a question... I don't think so. Liyue's laws mainly govern ordinary people; the actions of immortals are not bound by the laws.'

Yanfei: 'However, if the immortals of Liyue do not abide by the contract they made with the Emperor to protect Liyue, they will likely still be punished.'

Linghua cheered when she saw Yanfei's reply. Great! Now she should be able to carry out her plan. Without the constraints of the law, she was already halfway to success.

Ayaka Kamisato: 'Thank you, Ms. Yanfei. I'll definitely treat you to a meal when I visit again.'

Yanfei: '??? This young lady doesn't need to be so polite, but it's strange that Inatsume would ask such a question.'

Chapter 331 The Arrival of Shinobu Kyuuki

"Kageroumaru, I'm counting on you this time. You must find this person, otherwise that Tengu-sama will definitely be angry, and then I won't be able to take you to eat meat anymore."

Hayato clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture towards Kagerou. After carefully sniffing the shards, Kagerou barked twice at Hayato and then began sniffing very intently.

"Zaoyou, are you sure your friend can really find those bad guys? I don't think your friend seems very reliable."

"Don't worry, Kagero is very reliable. Many times when I was sleeping in, it was Nana who brought Kagero to me. Waaaaah~ I don't even have time to sleep anymore."

Zaoyou hung her head in frustration. It was clear that she had been caught by Yinglangmaru quite a few times before. Paimon could only temporarily put aside his doubts after hearing what Zaoyou said, but Paimon still felt that Yinglangmaru was not very reliable.

"Traveler, Zaoyou, what are you two doing here? I've seen you running around early this morning. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Having accepted the task of maintaining order at the festival, Shinobu Hisaki had been patrolling the area early in the morning with Ichito and a few others. When he saw Yuzuru and Hotaru standing there, Shinobu Hisaki went up to greet them.

"Hey, Shinobu, if I remember correctly, you took on a commission from the Tenryo Magistrate yesterday, right?"

As if he had just realized something, Paimon stared at A-Rin to confirm it. A-Rin was startled by Paimon's sudden enthusiasm, but she still nodded.

“That’s right. The reward from the Heavenly Commander is quite good. I came early this morning. I saw you seemed to be in some trouble while I was on patrol. Perhaps I can help you.”

"If we don't have enough manpower, I can call the boss and the others over. They're patrolling on the other side."

Hisaki Shinobu brandished his one-handed sword and cell phone, exuding the aura of someone about to engage in a gang fight, as if a fight was about to break out at the slightest provocation.

Hikari felt guilty seeing Shinobu like this. If Hikari hadn't introduced Captain Hokuto to Shinobu, Shinobu might not have become so familiar with Hokuto, nor would she have been influenced by Hokuto.

But thinking about it from another angle, if Shinobu hadn't wanted to learn from the captain's experience, she wouldn't have spent so many days learning from Hokuto. Well, in general, it shouldn't have much to do with her. Ying thought about it and felt that it didn't seem to have much to do with her, which reassured her a lot.

After Zaoyou recounted what had happened, Hisaki Shinobu frowned. The statue of Mitakenami, the Supreme Lord of the Imperial Palace? She seemed to have some recollection of it; she seemed to have maintained order in the vicinity that morning. However, when asked if there was anything amiss, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Um, could it be that Ichito knows something?"

"Boss? Forget it, the boss wasn't fully awake when he went out on patrol this morning. I don't think he could tell anything by squinting."

After rejecting Paimon's suggestion, Hisaki Shinobu also began to think about what was wrong that morning. As a genius who had passed many certification exams, Hisaki Shinobu's memory was naturally excellent. With her focused recollection, she quickly remembered some things that were not right.

In her memory, some people who bought the statue of Mikatsu Naruto no Kami Oogami didn't seem to have much joy on their faces; instead, their eyes revealed a hint of greed.

If Zaoyou hadn't told her about it, Jiuqiren wouldn't have remembered it for a while. She would have just thought that these people didn't show much respect to Lord Rai.

"Unfortunately, a friend of mine has been busy lately, otherwise, if I had asked him to investigate, we would have gotten a lot of useful information. The Kano family seems to be very sensitive to these kinds of clues."

As she recalled the wind-elemental boy who was assigned various tasks by Kujo Sara, Kuki Shinobu felt incredibly fortunate that she hadn't joined the Heavenly Territory Magistrate. She felt incredibly free now. As for why she was free, while Kujo Sara was approving documents, Kuki Shinobu was eating snacks, and while her shrine maiden sister was entertaining tourists from all over the world, Kuki Shinobu was leisurely strolling through the festival.

Most importantly, while her friends and family were working overtime, she, Hisahi Shinobu, was already fast asleep. Isn't this the freedom she wanted?

"Rin, Ren, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah, ah, sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

Upon hearing Paimon's name, Hisagi Shinobu immediately snapped out of her daze. Seeing the curious looks on the faces of the three people around her, Hisagi Shinobu adjusted her mask and said...

"I did notice something unusual this morning."

"While I was maintaining order, I noticed that some people were behaving very strangely after purchasing the statue of the Great Master of the Imperial Palace. If I remember correctly, many of those people were idle hooligans from Inazuma Castle."

Chapter 332 The Confirmed Suspect

Hisaki Shinobu recalled the people in the crowd, their images flashing through his mind. He quickly identified their common characteristics.

"Then, Ah Ren, do you have information about those people?"

"Intelligence? It seems there really isn't any."

"Huh? Isn't your Arakkari Faction a gang?"

Paimon's questioning tone made Hisagi Shinobu roll her eyes at her. Hisagi Shinobu then put away her one-handed sword and explained to Paimon.

“Our Arataki-ha is different from other gangs in Inazuma. Rather than describing our Arataki-ha as a gang, it’s more accurate to describe it as a mutual aid group. I’ll tell you more about our Arataki-ha after this is over.”

"Um, okay."

Paimon scratched her head, seemingly understanding but not quite. Clearly, she couldn't comprehend Hisaki Shinobu's words with her limited intelligence. Ying, standing beside her, didn't explain anything to Paimon either. She didn't think Paimon would understand her explanation. As long as the emergency food was a little slow, that was fine, as long as it didn't affect the taste.

"Hahaha, I think I heard some people talking about me. Shinobu, I've arranged for the brothers to go to the ramen shop for ramen. We're just missing you. Luckily, the Traveler and the Tanuki are here too. Come on, let's go have some ramen together."

Ichito's familiar voice reached their ears. Hearing Ichito address her, Zaoyou's eyes widened. How did that annoying and noisy guy find his way here? Paimon's eyes also widened, but unlike Zaoyou, Paimon's eyes were wide with anger.

"Hey, Ichito, why didn't you buy me some ramen?!"

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't see you just now, Paimon. You're less noticeable than the little raccoon next to you."
