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

"I understand, um - I'll go with you."

Xinhai put the finished rice bowl on the table and said sternly to her.

"No need for this...I can do it alone-"

"Sir General, the incident on Yareung Island was originally the cause of our Haiji Island. The soldiers took the opportunity to do such scandalous things, and I was kept in the dark."

Xinhai lowered his eyes and said to her guiltily.

"So... all of this is my responsibility, my poor management, and my dereliction of duty... Huh, how can I let you deal with the aftermath alone?"

"..."

The general looked at her silently, and she looked at him firmly.

"Besides, the peace talks are approaching, and I also want to do something for your rice wife to show my determination."

Xinhai said to her while covering his chest.

"Huh... that's all, it's up to you... there's nothing wrong with having one more person, but... the process will be complicated. Are you mentally prepared?"

"Well, on this trip... there is a goddess and miko in Kaiji Island - Coral Palace Heart Sea is with you, General."

Xinhai stood up and came to her side and took the initiative to extend his white palm to her, just like the invitation when he started to get off the boat.

"Okay... I believe you, Coral Palace."

Seeing this, the general nodded with satisfaction and put his delicate hand on the other person's palm, which was held by the other party. Seeing this, Xinhai smiled quietly at her and took the initiative to take her hand and pulled her up in a very gentlemanly manner.

"General, can I ask you something?"

Pulling up the general's heart, he asked her softly.

"What's the matter?"

she asked.

"Can you call me 'Heart Sea'?"

"……Can."

She was stunned for a moment and then thought about it before agreeing. After all, she felt that the relationship between the two had reached this point now.

"Then...can you call me now?"

Xinhai raised his eyes and asked quietly.

"...Heart Sea."

"!"

Xinhai's body trembled, and then he gradually revealed a happy smile.

"Hmm~!"

He nodded sweetly to her.

Boom~!

Crazy thunder and lightning flashed through the dark clouds directly above Ba Ling Island, and a dazzling purple light poured out, illuminating the dark and humid island for a moment.

Boom~N

In the blink of an eye, there was another burst of continuous thunder, shuttled through the sky like a ferocious thunder dragon, and from time to time it converged into terrifying thunder and hit the ground, burning it with scalding marks.

Wow~×N

The next second, the pouring rain poured from the sky, covering the entire Baling Island in an instant. You can see this nightmare-like scenery from Tatasha next door. Deep dark clouds gathered in the sky and covered the island. Blocked like a prison, no area on the island is without such violent wind, rain, and thunder.

Huhu~

A petite squirrel walked through the grass, intending to look for food in the trees on the opposite side. Unexpectedly, when it passed the central section of the road——

slap!

A burst of shocking thunder fell directly on top of it!

呲呲~!

Seeing this, the squirrel subconsciously lay on the ground and closed its eyes, waiting for the moment when it turned into a barbecue. However, this result did not happen. It opened its small eyes in confusion and looked up -

I found that my whole body was enveloped by a layer of lavender shield at some point. The lightning strike just now was smoothly offset after contact with the shield. There was only a trace of remaining purple particles and nothing happened.

squeak~

After it reacted, it immediately ran away with its calves and turned into the trees ahead, disappearing.

Seeing this, the general in the distance lowered his palm to absorb a few thunder particles from the original location of the squirrel, and regrouped them into a shield covering himself.

She didn't go out of her way to save him, she just happened to see him.

tata~

The girl next to her also followed her, stood beside her and raised her hand slightly to lift the hood of the raincoat, revealing her beautiful face.

"The environment seems to have worsened...worse than what I have seen before."

Xinhai looked at the dark clouds and thunderstorms in the sky and couldn't help but frown.

"It seems that it is quite timely to get here today...otherwise we will be in trouble in the future."

When the evil spirit expands and spreads again, it may affect other islands.

The location of the two of them at the moment was close to Wuxiang Renhajian, just east of Tengdou Village, and the south direction of this place was close to the abandoned and uninhabited Feimu Village.

"call…"

Xinhai looked at the dead silence around him and couldn't help but sigh guiltily. He lowered his eyes with a sad and self-blaming look, biting his jade lips gently.

Perhaps because she was lost in thought, she even forgot to put on the hood of her raincoat. The heavy raindrops fell on the top of her head, making her originally dry head wet. The raindrops also streaked across her head. Her delicate face was like snow dripping down to her chin.

"...This matter is not only your fault, I am also responsible. Don't regret yourself like this."

She also noticed Xinhai's guilt at the moment, so she comforted him like this, and reached out to put the hood that the other person had taken off back on him.

"...General, I'm sorry...I..."

Xinhai felt the weight of the hat on her head and raised her eyes to look at her with some guilt. Seeing the tenderness of the woman in front of her, she could not forgive herself even more.

It was all her fault, it was her poor management, she believed too much in the words of her subordinates, she was derelict in her duties, she was...too naive.

"Huh... you've said your apology countless times. I don't want to hear this. What I want is our mutual actions and how we should make up for our past mistakes."

"Things have happened, and we should look forward instead of sticking to the past. Solving the immediate matters is the most important. It is not too late to make amends."

"……Um."

Xinhai nodded softly after hearing her words.

"And I've said it before, it's not just you, I'm also at fault. If you're sad about this, shouldn't I be sad too?"

"Master General..."

Xinhai took the initiative and held her hand, comforting her in turn.

"Huh... for the sake of this devastated Ba Ling Island... let's make amends together, Xinhai... are you willing to come with me?"

The general turned to look at the girl, held her hand in return and looked at her sincerely and asked.

"Yeah~! I do!"

Xinhai nodded seriously and spoke to her seriously.

"……Um."

The general looked at the expression of the girl in front of him and showed a satisfied and gentle smile. He tightened his grip on the other person's hand again. After Xinhai felt it, he held her back in the same way, expressing their mutual confidence.

"Hey~ you two!"

Just then a man's shout came from a distance.

"?" × 2

The two girls, who were still holding hands with each other, turned their heads in tacit understanding and looked at a middle-aged man running towards them opposite.

tata~

The other party quickly ran up to the two of them with hurried steps, casually glanced at the palms of the two holding each other and then looked at their exquisite faces.

"Oh~ Why do you two girls come to a place like this to fall in love?! Let's go quickly, this is not a place you can come to."

The man sighed and waved his hands to them both silently.

Judging from each other's clothes, the two of them must be the official of this place.

"..."×2

The two of them looked at each other and let go of their hands in a tacit understanding. During this period, both of their faces had a little rosiness, but only for a moment.

"Okay... two girls, please don't stay on this island for a long time. The 'haunting spirit' is spreading more and more widely."

The worker uncle said this to the two of them.

"Excuse me...can you tell us more about the evil spirit?"

After hearing this, Xinhai took the lead in grabbing the topic and asked something like this. The general wanted to ask but was beaten to the spot by the other party.

"Eh? Ghost God... Why do you ask this?"

The worker uncle looked confused.

"We are adventurers here to solve the problem of the haunted god. We hope for your cooperation."

The general responded politely in a different tone.

"Oh, he's an adventurer, let me tell you... a girl's family is here on such a day, alas... it's a long story... ever since the people from the Coral Palace destroyed the town that suppressed the remnant soul of the snake god on the island. , the 'Shen God' spread all over the island..."

After that, the uncle looked around and pointed at the current climate effects and environment.

"Look...as you can see, the clouds cover the sun and the sky, the rain keeps falling, and the thunder continues. This is all the work of the evil spirit."

Then he picked up the conversation again.

"During this period, the absentees fell ill one by one, lost their minds, and fled to the island. Everyone left, and there were not many people left on the island."

"Hmph~! By the way! If the people from the Coral Palace hadn't destroyed His Majesty's palace, how could the island be in such a mess?! It's true!"
