As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

the general replied.

"…Um?"

Xinhai was stunned for a moment and looked at her in confusion, seeing something.

"Compared to the last time I saw you, you look a little haggard."

she answered.

"Haha...you have changed a bit too, haven't you?"

Xinhai smiled.

"Changed? Me?"

The general was a little confused.

"Well, it's more... um - how should I say? Liver than last time? Or maybe it's not so cold, it's more smiling, it's more humane."

Xinhai talked about the changes she made one by one.

"...It's your illusion."

The general was a little embarrassed by what the other party said and answered awkwardly.

"Maybe, but such a general is more attractive, isn't he?"

Xinhai smiled.

"What kind of charm? Don't use charm all the time. It's disgusting."

After hearing this, the general glanced at her with some complaints, but he still couldn't help feeling shy.

Look~!Sure enough, things have changed. The previous general would not have spoken in such a tone. It’s so cute, haha.

Xinhai wondered naughtily in his heart, what on earth has the General experienced during this time?

When the two of them walked somewhere, they happened to pass by a couple who were discussing something in front of the house. The two of them had white temples and wrinkled faces. They looked like old people.

When Xinhai passed by, her figure also entered the sight of the two, attracting their attention.

"Isn't this Mr. Coral Palace? Why do you have time to come here today to take a look?"

The pale-haired old man looked at the girl and greeted her warmly.

"...?"

When Xinhai heard the familiar voice on his left, he subconsciously paused, put on a polite smile, and turned to look at the other person.

"Hello, use Uncle Gao."

She said hello too.

"?"

The general looked over in confusion and found that the other person was an old man with white hair, and there was an old lady standing next to him, possibly a couple.

"I always feel that your complexion is worse than last time. You should take good care of yourself. You are our biggest supporter..."

The old man named Yong Gao was telling her this.

You are such a big man, why would you go out of your way to rely on a 17-year-old girl?

The general complained in confusion after hearing this.

Although the other party holds the position of 'Miko, the Living Goddess', she is only 16 or 7 years old, right?I don't want Ying to be as old as her. When relying on someone younger than yourself, it's best to figure out what else you can do. Even if you don't do it, don't cause trouble to the other person.

"Well, don't worry, it's okay. I will take care of myself."

Of course she didn't know what Xinhai was thinking. After hearing what the other party said, the girl just nodded politely and answered patiently.

"Lord Coral Palace, I want to talk to you about the peace talks——"

The old woman standing next to Yonggao was also his wife - Yuunai walked over at this moment and wanted to say something to her. The old expression on her face showed that she had some objections to the conversation.

"..."

When Xinhai saw the other party's movements, he had already guessed what the other party was going to say. His eyes were slightly complicated and then he looked at the general beside him.

"what happened?"

The general asked confused when he saw her look.

"(Um...general, can I ask you a favor?)"

Xinhai leaned close to her ear and asked in a very secretive voice with a sweet voice.

"(What's the matter?)"

She also cooperated with the other party's questions in an angry voice.

"(No matter what the other party says for a while, please don't interrupt, okay?)"

Xinhai looked at her pleadingly.

"..."

She narrowed her eyes and looked at her speechlessly.

"(Well...let me beg you, okay?)"

Xinhai gently stretched her sleeves and whispered.

"(……nod)"

The general finally nodded silently. She also guessed it, and so did the other party. That was why he begged her like this.

"Mother-in-law, please tell me."

Xinhai did not walk over directly but kept a distance from each other and said to the old man.

"Lord Coral Palace, listen to my advice~! We have been fighting the shogunate army for so long, we can't just talk."

The old man walked up to her and gave her a lot of instructions, as if he was saying, "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences."

"..."

The general looked speechless when he saw this, saying, "Sure enough,".

"!"

Yong Gao, who was beside him, looked at his old woman with a tired expression.

Xinhai simply nodded and let the other person continue.

"If we reconcile with them, wouldn't the demon god who protected us die in vain?"

She said this loudly.

"You demon gods invade-!"

When the general heard this, he subconsciously wanted to refute.

pat...

As if he had expected it, Xinhai immediately secretly held her hand and squeezed her fingertips comfortingly.

"……call."

After feeling the touch on her hand, she stopped talking and looked away coldly.

"Okay, okay~! What era are we in now, what kind of war are we fighting! Can't we just talk? Isn't it good to live a good life?!"

Yong Gao silently scolded the other party and educated him earnestly.

"Of course I know! It's just...sigh...at least you have to be tougher and don't compromise casually!"

The old woman still retorted unwillingly.

"(Ha...still looks like a 'victim'.)"

The general sneered secretly, his face full of sarcasm, and he said something sarcastic in a low voice.

It sounds nice, and it is still protecting. Although Orobas once said that this was an inevitable move, it still invaded Inazuma and killed Kage's friends. Its sins cannot be washed away. Its own gods Are you still justified in invading other countries?If Orobas, who had bowed his head and apologized to them, would be angry if he heard these foolish words?

I really don't take them seriously. How kind was Ying to let them live in the first place?Or is this a real idea?

"So Lord Coral Palace, you should think twice."

"I understand. I will think about it again and will handle it properly."

Xinhai felt that the general's palm was trembling as if he was holding back anger. She gently rubbed the back of the general's hand with her own palm, but on the surface she looked like she shouldn't have answered like this to the person in front of her.

"Ah, that's great... Then I'll trouble Mr. Coral Palace."

The old lady finally showed a smile. This smile seemed very unpleasant to her, and she wanted to draw the knife, but then she thought about it, why should she be angry with an ignorant mortal?Sigh...that's all, let's slow down for a while, there will be more of this kind of thing in the future. This is also one of the purposes of her coming here today. She wants to see the true face of the people of Kaiji Island. Let's talk about what happens next.

"Well, I have something else to do, let's go first."

Xinhai nodded politely and then took the hands of the people around him and left.

"..."

The general followed her sullenly and was held by her hand.

Xinhai walked to a deserted corner and looked at her again, his eyes full of complicated meanings.

"I'm sorry, General."

She apologized to him in a low voice, and bowed deeply to her from the top of her body.

"...You don't have to apologize, it's not your fault."

The general shook his head and leaned back against the wall.

"But...I am their leader, I..."

"Actually, I have known for a long time. I have already heard what you Haiji people think of Narukami Island. Although I have been mentally prepared for coming here this time, I really want to hear these shameless words. I’m still angry.”

She was a little helpless and glanced casually at her high heels with black silk soles on the ground. Her toes lightly scratched the grass on the ground.

"..."

Xinhai also lowered his eyes and looked at the movements of her feet, exhaled slightly and leaned against the wall side by side with her.

"Actually, I have always wanted to tell you about this. Although Kaijijima did not worship you as much as the shogunate did at first, it still maintained respect for you as a god. However, as the sword fell, Orobus Your Excellency was also beheaded, and since then, the relationship between Kaijijima and the shogunate has become somewhat subtle, and the prejudice between them has become deeper and deeper."
