Human, am I evil?

"I'm not used to using a knife, but I can cut you if you want. Want to try?"

"No, thanks."

She has no strange interests, and she doesn't like being hacked with a knife at all.

It's better to be honest, it's better not to be dead, God knows if she will really be like Lei Movie, one day she will suddenly cut herself with a knife, she doesn't want to be cooked.

"That's right... By the way, you came to look for me suddenly, what's the matter?"

Yae Kamiko coughed a few times, found a suitable reason, and changed the subject.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. Yae Shenzi looked at Di Ruiji and Shen He in puzzlement. She didn't say anything wrong. Why did they become weird?

Di Ruiji was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Do you still remember... the priestess named Hibiki Asase who practiced at Narujin Taisha 500 years ago?"

"Hibiki Asase? Asase...wait a minute, I seem to have a little impression."

After 500 years, Yae Miko was already a little unfamiliar with this memory, but the name Hibiki Asase reminded her of something vaguely.

At that time, she was still very young, and it was quite difficult even to transform into a human form. She usually likes to act like a fox.

At that time, apart from being with Raiden, she would go to Naruto Shrine to find Husaigong. She vaguely remembered that when she came to look for Husaigong for a while, she saw her chatting with a witch who seemed to be called... .. Hibiki Asase.

"I remembered, I remembered. It was the very talented Asase Miko. At that time, she had a very good relationship with Husai Palace. When I came here occasionally, I would see her chatting with Husai Palace, and I would also see She is chatting with a man. Although she looks impatient every time, Hu Zhai Palace and I both know that she actually likes that man."

At that time, she hid in a tree or on the roof and peeked at the conversation between the two, which was very interesting. No matter what was said, the dumb uncle always smiled.

That kind of romantic comedy was really interesting, and it was one of the few sources of happiness for her at the time.

"Why did you suddenly come to me and ask about Miko Asase? Where did you know her secret?"

"...Well, she received a mission to explore Qinglai Island. During the exploration, I found Asase Shrine, and there I found a cat that can always talk. Through its narration, I know Asase Hibiki , Konbu Maru, and Domeki."

Di Ruiji briefly told Yae Shenzi about his own situation, and after listening to Di Ruiji's description, Yae Shenzi nodded.

She wasn't surprised that Jingzi was able to speak. Monsters who had grown to a certain level could speak human words. There were quite a few such monsters in Daozuma before, but now there are none.

I don't know how that cat practiced, and it was able to survive for such a long time. Could it be because of Hibiki Asase that it grew up without knowing it?

"And then? From the looks of you, you should already know about Hibiki Asase. Why did you come to me specifically? I always feel that you didn't come to me specifically to ask questions, but to tell me something .”

"I really came to talk to you about something. In order to find out what happened 500 years ago, Shen He and I went into the interior of the sacred cherry tree to learn about the situation back then."

Speaking of this, Di Ruiji was silent for a long time, and it was a little difficult to see what she saw. Kunbu Maru crawled out of the abyss and came to the aged Asase Hibiki. In the end, Asase Hibiki would have completely turned into a monster. The kombu pills kill things.

After listening to Di Ruiji's narration, Yae Shenzi lowered her head in silence. She didn't know about this matter, that Kumbu Maru, who died in the disaster that year, came back to life, and that such a thing happened.

Kumbu Maru, who climbed out of the abyss with his obsession, finally met his lover, but in the end it ended like this, which made people sigh.

This can't be blamed on Hibiki Asase. At that time, Kombu Maru had become a monster. Even if he still had a trace of rationality, how long can he persist after being eroded by the abyss for so many years?

"At that time, Hibiki Asase cried after shooting Konbumaru's eyes. She couldn't say she was crying, she just shed tears and did nothing else. At that time, did she recognize the monster in front of her eyes? Is it kombu pills?"

Di Ruiji felt that this possibility was very high, otherwise, how could Hibiki Asase shed tears, could it be because of killing monsters?Do not make jokes.

"Maybe, she may recognize Kumbu Wan, and she may be very happy in her heart. But Kumbu Wan has been eroded into a monster, and he was already in great pain at that time. In order to prevent her lover from continuing to suffer, she... can only do that Do."

As a witch, she couldn't let Konbumaru stay with Daatsuma, even if he could suppress himself now, but what about the future?If he gets out of control, he will kill a lot of innocent people.

As a lover, she couldn't let Kumbu Wan continue to suffer.

So Hibiki Asase used the bow she got from Kombu Maru, and with the archery skills Kombu Maru gave her, hit him precisely in the eye, ending his life, ending his... pain.

Yae Miko was a little sad, she thought of the man and woman at Narugami Taisha, they should have been happy but they ended up like this.

"About Asase Shrine... I hope that in the future, when the town stone of Qinglai Island will be re-sealed and it becomes a land where humans can live again, I hope that Narujin Taisha can send a new maiden there to manage the shrine. I also I hope that the name Asase Shrine can be preserved."

Not only for Neko, but also for Hibiki Asase who is no longer here, this little favor, Yae Kamiko will not refuse, right?

"...Okay, I agree."

Infected by the story, Yae Shenzi didn't think too much, and easily agreed to Di Ruiji's request.

Having achieved his goal, Di Ruiji took Shen He away from the Yae Shrine, and came to the beach where Hibiki Asase and Kunbu Maru had come to date, and stood there quietly, admiring the ebb and flow of the tide in front of him.

"Aren't you going to tell her?" Shen He said: "The Zhenshi on Qinglai Island was actually relieved by Hibiki Asase, aren't you going to say it?"

"It's not necessary, she did make a mistake, but the Ako Domeki he protected is not a bad person. She has been right all her life, can't she be allowed to make a mistake once?"

Di Ruiji finally understood why she was so familiar with the name Domeki. The words in the conch shells she found in the Golden Apple Islands had Ako Domeku in the messages.

Ako Domeki is the leader of the pirates. Although he and his younger brother got along well with the local residents on Qinglai Island at the time, they are pirates anyway, and the shogunate will not sit idly by.

Ako Domeki lost to the shogunate army. At that time, in order to protect Ako Domeki, Asase Hibiki broke Zhenshi's seal and saved him in this extreme way.

This is the truth of the year, but it is not important anymore, at least Di Ruiji thinks it is not important, there is no need to delve into it too much, anyway, the problem of Qinglai Island can be solved after Ying seals Zhenshi.

At that time, the shogunate could discuss the transfer of people to Qinglai Island. Didn’t a group of disaster victims flee to Narugami Island before?

At present, the shogunate has not thought of a way to resettle them. Since they have no apprentices on Narugami Island, they should go to Qinglai Island to open up wasteland.

As long as they promise to open up wasteland here, they can be exempted from tax for many years. I believe those disaster victims must be happy to come and work there.

I believe that after the disaster victims come to Qinglai Island, Qinglai Island will become lively again.

At that time, Asase Shrine will become lively again, Neko will be very happy, and Hibiki Asase...will be happy too.

Volume 265: [-]: Ying who wants to help

"As expected of you, you have almost dealt with the town stones so quickly. Even the last [Lei Yin Quan Xian] was defeated by you."

A few days later, Ying and Paimeng lived up to everyone's expectations and re-sealed all the town stones. The "Lei Yin Quanxian" that appeared because of the seal was also defeated by Ying. The environment of Qinglai Island is no longer as bad as when it first came.

However, there is no way to live in a short period of time. The shogunate needs to send someone to check the situation. Even if the living environment is qualified, you still need to be alert to the harassment of guys like Yefuzhong.

In any case, the problem of Qinglai Island has been solved, and there is another piece of land that can be used by Daofu, and the place where Lei Movie can flex its muscles is coming... probably.

"Hee hee~ Of course, we can solve a puzzle of this level in one go."

Paimon listened proudly to his chest, as if she had solved the problem, with a smug face.

Paimon rolled her eyes, and didn't make fun of this emergency food when she was deciphering it, she would only say [what does this puzzle mean], [it turns out to be like this], and [you are amazing].

"During the time we were on Qinglai Island, did anything happen here on Naruto Island? Di Ruiji."

"What else can happen, except for some things that happened in the shogunate, the city is very quiet."

The rebellion in the Coral Palace was settled. Di Ruiji didn't know what agreement was signed between the Coral Palace and the shogunate. She only knew that the undercover agent named Nathan was brought back to the shogunate's prison.

Not only that, late last night, the Fools who received the news sent several debt handlers to deal with Nathan who was in prison, lest he reveal the secrets of the Fools.

Kutiao Shaluo expected that the fools would have such an action, and asked the special department she managed [Crow Feather] to ambush here in advance, and when the debt handler sneaked in, they were all arrested and brought to justice.

Now the shogunate has more chips to negotiate with the Fools, and with these debt handlers, even if the Fools want to deny it, they have no choice.

This time the shogunate can't let Kujo Saura go forward in the negotiation between the shogunate and the fools. It is necessary to let a person who is resourceful enough to hold the scene and suppress the arrogance of the fools.

In the end, General Raiden chose to let the patriarch of the agency, Kamisato Ayato, accept this task, and asked him to work a little overtime to handle this negotiation.

Shen Liyan accepted this mission without complaint. According to the information Di Ruiji learned, the negotiation seems to be tomorrow night.

Hehe~ I don't know if those guys from the crowd of fools will do something tonight.

Do they go to the prison to get rid of them like before, or are they going to get rid of the person who caused them the most headaches, that is... Shenli Ayato.

"Wow~ There are so many things, but there is nothing in your mouth?"

Isn't this a whole bunch of things?Paimon felt that he had missed a lot of wonderful scenes, which was a pity.

"So what? Is it possible that you still plan to visit it yourself? Do you have any position in the shogunate? You still want to participate."

"That can't be done, the fools are so cunning, who knows if they will do anything bad. Moreover, the head of Shefengxing is Ling Hua's elder brother. Ling Hua is our friend, we should help her .”

"We still need to make a move? Don't forget that the final show was established by She Fengxing. Do you think that the last show is only that Zaoyou? Besides her, there are still many powerful members."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Paimon, who didn't know what to say at all, could only look at Ying. What he said was not very effective, but what Ying said was different.

She is very clear that Di Ruiji loves her dearly, as long as she doesn't behave like a dead person, Di Ruiji will helplessly choose to forgive her.

"Even if we don't need help, let's go and see the situation."

Ying is also quite concerned about this matter, she has not forgotten the performance of the idiots diplomats in Mond City, although in Liyue Port, the idiots did not dare to presumptuously in front of Qixing, but the situation of Dao Wife is still unclear .

The previous Tianling Pursuit and Kanding Pursuit obviously cooperated with the Fools. Who knows if they have any chess pieces that they haven't brought out in Daozuma.

"Take it as a visit to a friend, let's go to the Shenli House. At this time, Ling Hua should be at home."

"...Fine."

Di Ruiji sighed, put away the pen and paper on the table, she was not in a hurry to deal with what she was doing now, and just went with Ying.

When a group of people came to Shenli House, the guards outside the door saw that it was Di Ruiji and his party coming, and there was no hindrance, so they saluted them and let them enter Shenli House.

As soon as they entered the gate, Di Ruiji and his party saw Shenli Linghua sitting there resting at the pavilion.

"Linghua, we're here to find you." The moment he saw Linghua Kamisato, Paimon couldn't help but flew over.

Hearing Paimon's voice, Kansato Ayaka, who was sleeping with her eyes closed, opened her eyes, and looked at the people walking towards her with a smile.

"Here you are, welcome to Kamiyashiki."

Kanli Linghua stood up, held a bone fan, tilted her head slightly, and said with a smile: "I have heard about it, you go to Qinglai Island and deal with the thunderstorm problem there. The Adventurers Association has posted an announcement, Qinglai The issue of the island has been resolved, and it is estimated that it will not take long before the shogunate will send people to investigate there. If all goes well, someone will go there to dig a hole soon."

Having said that, Kansato Ayaka couldn't hide her smile no matter what.

The agency is the department closest to the people's livelihood. Some time ago, there were many refugees on Narugami Island. The shogunate has never thought of a good way to resettle them.

Ayaka Kamisato often went to listen to their lives, thinking about how to let them have a future again.

Just when she thought that the shogunate was going to arrange for these refugees to return to Yalong Island or other places, the issue of Qinglai Island was dealt with.

For hundreds of years, the matter of Qinglai Island has troubled the shogunate for so many years, and the shogunate has almost given up on that place, but Ying spent a few days to solve it.

Kamisato Ayaka has heard that there is a [Great Adventurer] in the Adventurers Association. The person called the [Great Adventurer] seems to be a very powerful person. With Ying's strength, I don't know if he can be rated as a [Great Adventurer] Great Adventurer].

"I want to thank you for those homeless people, Ying. I believe that the general will definitely handle this matter well, and perfectly handle the issue of Qinglai Island and the refugees."

"Where, where, what you said is a bit too much, Ling Hua. I just accepted the task of the Adventurer's Association, and I used to deal with the issue of Qinglai Island. I am not as good as you said."

Rao Yiying's thick skin, she couldn't bear such sincere thanks from Ayaka Kamisato.

Under Ying's strong request, Shenli Linghua did not continue. She brought a group of people to the inner room, and Thomas, who had noticed that Di Ruiji and his group had arrived, had already prepared tea and pastries for them. , just wait for them to come.

Seeing the cakes on the table, Paimon shouted excitedly, and immediately rushed over, picked up the cakes and started to eat excitedly.

Everyone was also used to Paimon's performance, and after a few complaints, they sat down in their seats and chatted about recent events.

"I heard that tomorrow is the day when your brother will negotiate with fools. Is this true?"

"Huh? Where did you hear about it?"

Kanli Linghua looked at Paimon in surprise, this matter is a secret, and ordinary people should not know it.

Paimon chewed what was in his mouth, looked at Di Ruiji, and conveyed a message to Shenli Linghua through this action.

"I know it from Kujo Sharo."

Di Ruiji readily admitted, and also revealed the person who revealed the information to him: "It was also my recommendation to use that foolish spy Nathan as a bargaining chip, but I didn't expect that General Thunder would finally choose to negotiate with her, It's Ayato Kamisato."

"Well, it seems that Miss Di Ruiji helped a lot secretly, just like before."

"Hmph, it's just that I don't like what the fools are doing, and I want to trip them up, nothing else."

Di Ruiji said flatly, Ying and Paimeng, who are used to her behavior, let Shenli Linghua not care, she has such a temperament, so don't care too much.

"We came here this time to ask if there is any need for help. When we were in Mond and Liyue, we fought against the Fools a few times. If you need it, we can help."

"Help? Well~ If it's you, you can rest assured."

Kanli Ayaka thought for a moment, then nodded.

Generally, this kind of thing cannot be easily handed over to other people. Some people appear to be sincere, but in fact they are indeed inner ghosts, who will stab people in the back when they are least prepared.

But Ying and the others can believe that if they are allowed to help, the risk of this negotiation will be greatly reduced.

only....

"I'm sorry, I can't decide on this matter. The related matters are all arranged by my elder brother, and I have to discuss with my elder brother before making a decision."

Kanli Ayaka looked at Ying apologetically, she came here specially to help, but in the end she seemed to be perfunctory.
