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

Of course, she wouldn't take this risk normally, but today was a special situation. For the sake of her beloved General, she could completely ignore her own body. It was such a simple realization.

Although she was very tired at this time, she couldn't stay like this. It was already getting late. It was already around three in the afternoon. If she didn't speed up, it would be dusk. She simply wiped the sweat from her forehead and patted it. The dress was fanned back and forth with a folding fan. The smooth bangs in front of her forehead were fluttering back and forth, and her smooth and white forehead was also looming.

Following the signs on the path, we found Wanglong Village, a small village nestled in the center of the island's interior.

The fresh environment is full of dreamy colors. Transparent bubbles similar to those on the sea floor occasionally appear in the air. From time to time, you will see strange creatures like jellyfish suspended in the air. You can feel the atmosphere of water everywhere, whether it is a waterfall. , soil, pearls, growing corals or clear streams. The environment is completely different from the environment of Narukami Island. Here, people can feel the atmosphere of the sea.

To be honest, it was her first time to Haiji Island, and she was a little curious when she saw the specialties that were unique to Haiji Island. But then she was forgotten, and she subconsciously crossed her arms and let the folding fan lower her chin to start. son.

"Miss, please stay!"

Just as she was about to enter the village, a firm male voice sounded in her ears.

"...?"

She paused and looked slowly at the person she had just missed. From his clothing, he could tell that he was a soldier with a short head. He was the only one here with a rice ball in his hand. He seemed to be eating, with a long gun on his side. He also threw it on the ground casually. If it was a guard, he didn't know what he was guarding. It was completely like fishing.

"Your Excellency, are you the guard here?"

She turned around and walked towards the other party with steps. She folded her fan and lit her jade lips and asked with a hint of inquiry in her tone.

"Eh? Ah...yes!"

The male soldier felt inexplicably nervous when he saw her walking towards him. Coupled with her delicate, jade-like face and cool and elegant temperament, he subconsciously put the rice ball back into the lunch box and returned it casually. Wiping the rice grains from the corner of his mouth, he quickly stood up straight, his face still a little rosy.

This appearance is no worse than their Coral Palace masters. Who is he?

"Since you are a guard... it doesn't matter if you eat, but you can't throw weapons around casually, right? If someone like me shows up uninvited, wouldn't that mean I'm in trouble?"

She pointed at the opponent's spear with her eyes and said this teasingly.

"This, this lady...I think you have a fragrant face, and you don't look like a bad person."

The soldier replied with a blush.

"Is your face fragrant? Don't take it seriously. I'm here today to see your Lord Coral Palace. Can you take me there?"

She motioned to the Coral Palace in front of Wanglong Village.

"Uh... Miss, have you made an appointment?"

the other party asked.

reserve?

Do you still need to make an appointment?It seems that this living goddess miko is still a busy person.

"Unfortunately, I didn't make an appointment."

She didn't lie either, she told the truth.

"Then I'm sorry, I can't bring anyone to see Mr. Coral Palace without an appointment."

The soldier shook his head and rejected her.

"Well - you go and send a message for me, just say... the White Heron Princess of Narukami Island - Kamisato Ayaka asks for an audience, is that okay?"

She thought of a more reliable method. After all, Princess Egret's reputation was basically well-known to every household, so she could take a shortcut, the sooner the better.

"!! Shiro, Shiro... Princess White Heron?! You... you are Princess White Heron? Kamisato Ayaka?!"

Sure enough, the other party was obviously shocked after hearing her name, and her tone immediately changed. Even in Kaiji Island, they had all heard about the eldest lady of the Kamisato family, the White Heron Princess, and Hing. Clean and elegant, gentle and generous, and as beautiful as a flower, it turns out that it is so!

"I am Kamisato Ayaka... Could you please give me a message? I want to meet Miss Coral Palace."

she asked.

"Okay, okay, wait a moment, I'll be there right away!"

After that, the soldier left in a hurry.

"Huh...not bad."

She was slightly relieved when she saw this. Although she knew that the success rate would be high, she also thought that if she finished saying this, what if the other party said, "Princess Egret?"Who is Princess Egret?Who is Kamisato Ayaka?"I've never heard of such embarrassing words..." It would be a bit of a joke, and it's a bit tricky when you think about it.

But luckily it worked... and saved her from sneaking in.

A few minutes later, the soldier came back and told her that Coral Palace Xinhai was willing to see her and asked her to go to Coral Palace alone, and he would wait for her there.

"I'm tired..."

I thanked the soldier in front of me who was responsible for delivering the message, and then walked past Wanglong Village along the slender suspension bridge spanning both sides of the towering waterfall. What caught my eye was the dream palace made of layered pale pink scallops as the base—— Coral Palace.

The clean and translucent marble, the clear pools on the left and right, the gleaming palace, and the beautiful woman standing in front of the palace as if looking at the pool in trance.

She deserves to be called the 'Miko of the Living Goddess'. Both her clothes and her temperament give people a sense of tranquility. The overall style is extremely dreamy, as if she does not belong to this world, but it is easy to attract attention to her. She is gorgeous but Not ostentatious, no wonder, after all, she had never doubted the General's vision.

tata~

Perhaps because he noticed the delicate footsteps that were getting closer, he came back to his senses and let his beautiful gradually changing eyes slowly look at the ice-colored girl walking towards her. It was the first time that the two met, and they looked at each other for the first time. .

"..."×2

The two of them were several meters apart, and neither of them took a step closer, nor did they make a sound first. Each other's figures were reflected in their pupils.

"There is often a saying on Narukami Island... that the shrine maiden of Kaiji Island has a shameless appearance, is extremely beautiful, and has a short essay... She can defeat all the shogunate troops with her mind alone. She is a natural genius. This statement is true. , When I saw her today, I felt that Miss Coral Palace was really beautiful."

It was Ayaka who broke the silence. She took the initiative to praise the other party. Of course, it was not bragging, but it came from the bottom of her heart.

"...There is often a saying on Haiji Island that Princess Egret of Minggami Island is ice-cold, beautiful, and magnificent. Her reputation is well known to everyone. She is capable of both literary and military skills, superb chess skills, and first-class swordsmanship. I met her today. , I feel very honored. As for the 'beautiful appearance'...it's just a skin, not worth mentioning."

Xinhai responded to the Egret Princess in front of him with the same sentence pattern, and even had a smile on his face.

"...It makes sense, after all...you have to look at the inside to judge a person, are you right? Miss Coral Palace?"

After seeing her smile, Linghua also showed a beautiful smile and asked in a meaningful way.

"...I'm really ashamed. In this world...there are very few people who are the same on the outside as they are on the inside, let alone people of your status. Isn't it? Miss Kamisato."

After hearing the other party's allusion, Xinhai just smiled quietly, which was a meaningful response. She slightly crossed her chest and leaned back on the armrest. Her slender white silk legs also maintained a slight tendency to overlap.

"...That's right. It seems that Miss Coral Palace has a very clear vision."

Linghua frowned slightly, then showed a graceful smile skillfully and said this.

"That's too much praise. Miss Kamisato is the one...who can put forward such a point of view. I really admire it."

"..."×2

The two looked at each other again, and there was another moment of silence.

"It's very boring to stand like this... I finally came here today, why don't you take me in and sit down?"

It felt like the two of them were going to hang on here, so she took the initiative to bring up the next topic.

"That's fine. After all, Princess Egret took the trouble to come. It would be rude to neglect her. She must be received grandly. Please come in and welcome to the Coral Palace."

Xinhai stood up and raised his hand to gesture to the Coral Palace opposite, and then took the first step up the stairs.

"..."

Linghua looked at the other person's back, a slightly cold look flashed in her eyes, and then she retracted her eyes and followed him without any trace.

At this time, Xinhai, who was walking in front, seemed to feel the gaze behind him. His eyes subconsciously glanced in the direction around him, and his expression became a little complicated.

"call…"

He couldn't help but sigh very quietly.

This feeling...so bad.

In her heart at this moment, she could feel that the Egret Princess was deliberately exploring her, even with a little coldness. Even if her eyes were hidden, she would be aware of it. She didn't know Why did the other party come to Haiji Island? I don't know why he wanted to find her alone. Was he just here to sit around?

…No way?

Will the majestic Princess Egret really be so idle?

There must be some purpose, she was sure.

But even so, she did not take the initiative to raise this issue. She always felt that it was not yet time. Since the other party wanted to sit in the Coral Palace, she obeyed the other party and casually observed what the other party wanted to do. Anyway, this place was hers. In terms of chassis, even Princess Egret couldn't make much trouble, and she didn't think that the other party would make trouble so ignorantly.

tata~

The interior layout of the Coral Palace is relatively simple, not as exaggerated as the exterior. It is also a very suitable place to live. Everywhere is full of dreamy colors like sea water, and some chandeliers are decorated in shapes similar to marine life.

"..."

During this period, Linghua followed Xinhai like this, observing the surrounding environment from time to time. The folding fan in her hand was gently pressed against the corner of her mouth, and her face showed a hint of appreciation.

How could she not know what was going on in her heart before her?They knew that both of them were smart people, and some things just needed to be settled. She came here this time to look for the general, and to meet Coral Palace Xinhai. She wanted to see this woman with her own eyes. Does she have any ulterior motives in her heart? After all, she won't let the people in front of her conspire against the General. It's okay if she doesn't have such thoughts. If so, even if the General has a good impression of this woman, she won't Wouldn't agree.

As for whether she would stir up any trouble, the answer was of course no. Just like what the other party thought, she was not that ignorant and stupid person.

"This is Miss Coral Palace's residence?"

She raised a topic.

"Well, it's a humble house. I wonder if it will catch the eyes of Miss Kamisato?"

Xinhai looked at the built-in decoration of his Coral Palace, curved his lips and smiled, turned his head to glance at the ice-colored beauty behind him, and asked like this. During the process, he raised his hand and gently touched the broken hair beside his ear. .

"The environment is fresh and the temperature is moderate...The layout is simple but dignified and elegant. Moreover, it is located in the center of Haiji Island. It is a very good place to live. The person who chose this place...has a good sense."

Her words were not flattery, but a sincere evaluation. Her evaluation was comprehensive, and her beautiful voice and clever articulation made the people in front of her listen to her words show a slight look of appreciation.

Should I say that she really deserves to be the Egret Princess?

"The Coral Palace has been the residence of the living goddess and witches since ancient times, and it has also been regarded as a place for discussing important matters..."

Having said this, Xinhai glanced at Linghua again...and then spoke,

"...This was also the original rear base camp of the resistance forces, a gathering place used to discuss the war, but now...it is just the provisional government of this small place on Kaiji Island."

she said so.

"...Miss Coral Palace really trusted me and told me such important things."

When Ayaka heard this, she lightly tapped her chin with her folding fan and teased.

"...What's the point of this? Now Kaiji Island has made peace with Narugami Island. Kaiji Island belongs to Inazuma. We are all Inazuma. Why do we have to hide it from each other? Isn't it? Miss Kamisato ?”

Xinhai turned around and asked her again.

"...Do you really mean this?"

Ayaka asked her seriously after hearing this.
