Yes, Lady Funina!

Could it be that Lady Yaemiyaji wanted to tell Lord Thunder God that she had found her destined other half and hoped for his blessing?

Daocheng Yingmei didn't quite understand, but she felt that this was quite romantic. If she found her other half in the future, would she follow the example of Lord Yae...

Richard was not aware of the priestess's complex psychological activities, so he accepted the invitation from the Eightfold God's Son without giving it much thought.

'If I don't go, things will probably become even more troublesome, right? ' Richard thought.

"I'm sorry, the chief priest only invited Mr. Richard..." Seeing that Linnet was about to follow, Inashiro Hotaru had to remind her, and at the same time her eyes were involuntarily attracted by Linnet's cat ears.

Wow, are those ears real? So cute.

Linnet's cat ears twitched uncomfortably, and she looked at Richard with a cold gaze, as if waiting for Richard's reply.

"I'd like to trouble you to take charge of the situation here first." Richard said.

"Okay." Linette nodded. She was not angry about being left behind. She was thinking about arguing with Richard.

Not only would that fail to keep Richard, it would also have the opposite effect...

Linnet shook the cat's tail behind her, watched Richard and Inagi Hotaru disappear around the corner of her sight, then returned to the embassy and started to make her daily schedule.

Richard followed Inashiro Hotaru all the way out of Inazuma Castle, climbed up Kagemukai Mountain and arrived at Narukami Taisha Shrine.

I don’t know if it was because of the bad timing or some other reason, but the Narukami Taisha Shrine was particularly deserted today and I hardly saw anyone along the way.

Until we arrived at the torii gate of Narujin Taisha Shrine, we only saw about five people.

"Not many people come to worship today." Richard said seemingly unintentionally.

Inashiro Hotaru answered naturally, "Because the shrine is not open to the public today, because the chief priest said that he would welcome a distinguished guest today."

It is obvious who this distinguished guest is.

Daocheng Yingmei led Richard to the steps leading to the temple, then stopped, bowed slightly to Richard and said, "Lord Son of God is waiting inside."

Daocheng Yingmei paused again after saying this, and then continued: "I wish you good luck in martial arts!"

What does "武运昌隆" mean? Does it mean that the Eightfold Divine Son wants to fight me after a long time?

Even if he hasn't been back to Inazuma for a long time, there's no need to "entertain" him in this way, right?

What's more, even before he left, Yae Godson was no match for him. Now... it can't be said that he can suppress him easily, but at least he can control him with ease.

Even if the Eightfold Son of God released his electricity, it would be nothing to Richard now.

He also dabbled in the power of thunder, and because of Shadow, his application of the power of thunder was far stronger than other powers.

If we really have to give a specific ranking, the power of thunder should be in the top three.

Richard thought so and walked into the temple.

At this moment, the temple was solemn and dignified. On the altar in the middle was placed the statue of Takenami-jin, and on the left and right sides were placed a white fox and a pink fox respectively.

I don’t know if it’s Richard’s illusion, but I always feel that the workmanship of the pink fox looks much more refined than the white one.

And under the statue, there were only two cushions, one of which already had an owner. The owner of the cushion was wearing a shrine maiden's furisode in only red and white colors, with a wide black waist knot tied at the back of her waist.

Her hair was tied up with a pink cherry blossom hairpin, and on the left and right ears of the fox hung a purple gemstone earring symbolizing the messenger of God and a thunder-attributed God's Eye respectively.

At this moment, Yae Shinto sat kneeling on the cushion with his back straight, his full and plump buttocks and heels pressed against each other, and pure white cotton socks wrapped around his soft pancreas.

As if knowing the arrival of the person he was waiting for, the fox ears of the Eightfold God Son trembled slightly, and the purple gem earring also shook slightly.

Yae Shinto's straight back relaxed and bent slightly. When it reached a certain degree, he stretched out his hands to support the ground, then adjusted his kneeling direction and aimed his body towards Richard at the door.

In the solemn and dignified atmosphere, the Eightfold Son of God straightened his back, then placed his hands on his knees and leaned forward again, saying, "I am sorry for not welcoming you, my distinguished guest."

As the angle of leaning forward gradually increases, the collar inevitably reveals a charming view.

The originally solemn atmosphere immediately developed in a subtle direction. Generally speaking, furisode is composed of long sleeves and short sleeves, with the long sleeves placed outside and the short sleeves placed inside.

It's just that Yae Kamiko seemed to be wearing only long sleeves, and the short sleeves underneath seemed to be deliberately ignored by the other party, so that there was no problem at first glance from the front, but as soon as she bent down, more things could be seen immediately.

As if she knew that Richard had noticed this, Yae Shenzi immediately straightened up. The towering snow country scenery was covered by a thin cloth. She gently reached out to gather the hair by her ears and said quietly, "Long time no see, Mr. Richard."

"Long time no see, Son of God." Richard responded without changing his expression, looking like a gentleman.

Yae Shenzi did not expose the other party, but gestured for Richard to sit on the cushion beside him.

Richard took his seat, looked up at the statue of the Great Master of the Imperial Palace in front of him, and silently said in his heart: "Ying, I'm back."

However, he did not pay homage, but looked directly at the Eightfold Divine Child and said, "There is no one else here, aren't you tired?"

"What are you talking about, my dear sir? Respecting gods is ingrained in my bones and blood. What I say and do has become a habit. How can I say it is tiring?" The Eightfold Son of God still spoke nonsense in a serious manner.

Who would wear long sleeves on the outside of a shrine maiden costume to respect the gods without wearing short sleeves on the inside? Moreover, it is autumn and winter now. It is impossible that they don't wear short sleeves on the inside just because it is hot, right?

"Is that so?" Richard did not argue, just quietly watched the Eightfold Son of God talking nonsense.

Yae Shinko ignored Richard's attitude. She smiled and said, "Why don't you pay homage to Master Ming Shen? It's very effective."

"If it really works, what's in front of me wouldn't just be a statue," Richard said.

"Perhaps if you pay homage to it, the statue may come alive."

"With Ying's current state, it's difficult."

The smile on Yae Shinko's face gradually faded, becoming somewhat vague.

"So what caused this?"

"There are many reasons."

"Tell me."

"Character is part, experience is part, wear and tear is part..."

"And you... are also a part of it, right?" Yae Shen Zi continued before Richard finished speaking.

"...Yes." Richard did not deny it. In fact, when he came here, he also thought about it. If he had not left without saying goodbye, would the current situation be different?

But he quickly dismissed the idea because it was meaningless.

Under the circumstances at that time, his choice could be said to be inevitable. No matter what, he had no choice but to leave at that time.

"Since you admit it, you also agree that you are partly responsible for this, right?"

"I agree."

"Very good." Yae Shinko was very satisfied with Richard's attitude, so he moved on to the next part of the topic.

"Then will you contribute your own strength to finding Ying?"

"what do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple."

Yae Shinto turned towards the statue of Takenari no Miyabi in front of him, bowed slightly, and muttered something, as if praying for the god's attention.

After doing all this, Yae Shinto left the cushion and walked lightly to Richard's side.

One hand was placed on Richard's shoulder, while the other hand lifted the hair that had fallen by his ear, and then his body sank slightly.

In front of the statue, their lips touched.

In front of the statue of Takenari Shinto, Yae Miko demonstrated what it means to be eloquent.

As if this was not enough, the hand on Richard's shoulder had turned into an embrace, and the other hand no longer cared about the messy hair, gradually moving from being reserved at the beginning to being bold.

With her arms around Richard's neck, she sat sideways in Richard's arms. The sleeves on her body were wrinkled, and the fullness of her chest became flat due to being squeezed.

This went on for a full five or six minutes before Yaezao God Son moved his head away. However, even if he moved it away, he didn't move too much, only about two or three centimeters. The crystal silk thread in the middle didn't have time to break before Yaezao God Son attacked again.

With the experience just now, she was even more familiar with the way to capture the enemy, but the enemy was too cunning and experienced, and she was quickly defeated.

Soon, Yae Shinto's body became as soft as water, and his entire body seemed to have no bones. He collapsed in Richard's arms like a fox cake.

Yae Shinko glanced at the big hand that had been placed on her waist at some point, and a triumphant smile appeared on her face. This time, she did not look for lips again, but stretched out her clove-like tongue and licked Richard's earlobe like a cat licking water.

Only about ten minutes had passed, and the originally solemn and dignified atmosphere was swept away, replaced by a fragrant and charming atmosphere. The Eightfold Goddess also changed from being dignified and graceful to becoming charming and attractive. The sacred and solemn temple seemed to have changed all of a sudden.

Yae Shinko rested her chin on Richard's shoulder, pressing her delicate body tightly against his until there was no gap at all.

However, even so, the statue of Takenari Shinto on the altar in the temple remained motionless, like a dead object, quietly watching the affectionate man and woman in front of it.

Yae Shinto narrowed his beautiful fox eyes and was about to further test the bottom line of his own god, but was stopped by Richard.

"Stop making trouble, she can't see." Richard said.

"If you can't see, then you can't see." Yae Shinko felt that if he didn't try, how would he know whether the other party could see it or not.

However, Richard did not indulge Yae Shen Zi anymore. He put his hand through Yae Shen Zi's legs, lifted him up completely, and put him back on the original cushion. At the same time, he used his hand to pull the collar that had slipped to his shoulders back to its original place.

Yae Shenzi did not resist and let the other party fiddle with her clothes. Only after her clothes were neat and tidy again did she say, "Is your Yuanyang still there?"

"..."

Why are you all like this?

Richard looked at Yae God Son with a headache, and closed his mouth, obviously not intending to answer Yae God Son's presumptuous question.

However, Yae Shinko seemed to have received a satisfactory answer. He smiled and touched Richard's head, as if praising a good child.

Richard slapped the rogue fox's hand away in annoyance and said, "The power you are talking about contributing to find Ying should not be the one just now, right?"

"Of course not, that's just the interest I charge."

Yae Shenzi did not say what the interest was, but Richard understood it.

This is collecting interest that he has not received for a hundred years.

The interest alone is already like this, so what will it be like when it comes time to repay the principal?

Richard didn't think about it further. He tactfully asked about other topics.

"Eye Hunting Order, what's going on?"

"As the words suggest, it means the confiscation of the Eye of God." Yae Shinko answered, "The general created by the shadow wanted Inazuma to maintain a static state, so that the long river of time could flow by on both sides, and only Inazuma would remain motionless until [eternity]."

"The Eye of God can provide the people with the power of [change], but the [eternity] in the eyes of the general cannot allow such [instability] to exist, so there is the 'Eye Hunting Order'."

"How willful..." Richard said.

Volume 134: Chapter : You're not leaving? Let's sleep together

"Tomorrow morning, we will meet the head of the community at the Mokulou Teahouse. In the afternoon, we will go to Tamagotsu to visit the Tamagotsu Factory. The day after tomorrow..." Linnet lowered her head and wrote something on the notebook, but her eyes looked out the window from time to time.

Because it was close to the Shogun's Palace, there were few pedestrians on the street. There were only a few Shogunate soldiers in armor patrolling the area. In the distance, across the wooden bridge from the Shogun's Palace, one could vaguely see troops coming in and out from time to time, as if they were escorting something.

The situation in Inazuma Castle is like this, which is enough to show that Inazuma is not peaceful at present.

However, whether Inazuma is in a mess or not is not Linnet's main concern now. Her main concern now is that Richard has not returned from Narukami Taisha Shrine yet.

In such a state of confusion, Linnett didn't even want to drink the tea produced by Inazuma. She was afraid that she would drink tea in the Fontaine Embassy while Yae Kamiko would eat at the Narukami Taisha Shrine.

If that happens, I will be too embarrassed to go back to see Mr. Fontainebleau.

Look at what you have protected? .jpg

"Ms. Linnet, dinner is ready." The speaker was the secretary of the permanent secretary general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Because of their similar status and related work, they communicated frequently.

"Thank you, but I'm not very hungry, Ms. Bettina. You go and eat first. I'll finish the work at hand..." Linnet smiled at Bettina uninterested. It was almost dark and Richard hadn't come back yet. How could she eat?

When Bettina heard Linnet say this, she also left. Only a few civil servants were left at their posts in the huge office, and Linnet was one of them.

Linnet took a deep breath and looked at the notepad in her hand, but her mind was thinking about other things.

What did Yaejinko want to do by inviting Richard to Mingjin Taisha? Was it to discuss how to deal with the "Eye Hunting Order" or was it simply inconvenient to go down the mountain but wanted to see Richard.

You can't just call Richard to the Narukami Taisha Shrine and execute him on the spot, right?

That is the Narukami Taisha Shrine, the place that Inazuma Narukami is watching. Even Linnet, a native of Fontaine, knows the status of Narukami Taisha Shrine in Inazuma. No matter how outrageous Yae Shinko is, he can't do anything to Richard in such a sacred and solemn place, right?

It shouldn't be... right?

The more Linnet thought about it, the more upset she became. She closed her notebook, stood up and walked towards the rest area, intending to find a book to pass the time.

However, before Linnett took a few steps, she heard a faint noise coming from outside. Linnett followed the sound and found a dozen people standing in front of the embassy. The leader was dressed in Inazuma samurai clothes and seemed to be negotiating something with the embassy staff.

"What happened?" Linnet stepped forward to ask the reason.

When the staff member in charge of the negotiations saw Linnitt coming over, he briefly explained to her what had happened.

"So they are here to seek refuge?" Linnet looked at the large group of people in front of her. They were very diverse. Just from their clothes, she could tell they were from different professions: merchants, warriors, painters, adventurers...

But without exception, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all the holders of the God's Eye. The Inazuma shogunate issued an Eye Hunt Order to confiscate all the God's Eyes within the territory of Inazuma.

However, due to the special nature of the diplomatic embassy, ​​the Fontaine Embassy, ​​including the open space in front of the door, is not considered within the territory of Inazuma. Therefore, in order to avoid the Hunting Order, these people came to the door of the Fontaine Embassy.
