In the early morning, Inazuma was on a small passenger ship. Chiyo Rei stood on the deck and looked out. At the end of his eyes was a harbor.
After three days of sailing, this passenger ship is about to arrive at the outlying islands outside Narukami Island.
During the entire voyage, except for the accident where Qingqi was slandered as a thief, there were no disturbances during the rest of the voyage, and even the weather was continuously sunny.
Chiyo Rei recalled the experiences of the past few days and couldn't help but look at the remote island and sighed to herself. After all the difficulties were over, they couldn't wait until they got to the remote island and then meet the people of Sanzongxing to blackmail them, right?
Soon Chiyo Rei realized that the current thunder god had just created another doll named Raiden General, and handed over everything about Inazuma to the other party to manage, while he lived in the Isshin Pure Land.
At this point in time, the Three Factions will not be as tyrannical as they will be five hundred years later.
Slowly analyzing, Chiyo Rei gradually felt relieved, turned to the silent Qinqi beside him and said, "We are almost there."
Qingqi looked away from the island, "The weather was good this time, so we didn't waste time." This was not the case last time he came to Narukami Island. It rained all the way, and thunderstorms could be seen everywhere.
In the legend of Inazuma, changes in the weather are related to the inner thoughts of the gods.
Those who admire this do not know whether it is true or not, but if the legend is true, it means that the god was probably in a bad mood at that time.
What makes the gods sad?
The curious person suddenly had an unprecedented doubt, and then he discovered that he did not understand the god who created him.
However, before he had time to think deeply about the gods, Chiyo Rei's inquiry came.
"Qingqi, do we need to go to Narukami Taisha Shrine first after we disembark?" Chiyo Rei asked while thinking about Inazuma's map in the game.
Judging from the game map, Narukami Taisha Shrine is relatively close to the remote island.
Even as the ship got closer to the outlying island, they could vaguely see Mount Kage where Narukami Taisha Shrine is located.
Therefore, considering all the circumstances, Chiyo Rei felt that it was more reasonable to go to Narukami Taisha Shrine first.
But Qingqi Zhe had different ideas from Chiyo Rei. He answered seriously, "I want to settle down first and then go there with Mrs. Asano." He still remembered that Mrs. Asano moved her family to Narukami Island this time because her daughter wanted to go there. Go to Narukami Taisha Shrine and become a shrine maiden.
Then going to Narukami Taisha Shrine with them is a suitable reason. When the palace minister asks, he will be able to explain more easily.
Not only that, Qingqi said another reason, "Besides, you will be very tired after sitting on the boat for a few days."
Chiyo Rei, who was concerned, scratched his head and whispered, "I'm actually fine." On the first day, he said that sleeping on the boat was uncomfortable, but he has almost adapted to it in the past few days.
The admirer smiled and said, "It's better to take a rest. To go to Narukami Grand Shrine, you have to climb a mountain."
After reminding Chiyo Rei, he remembered that Narukami Taisha Shrine was built on the top of a mountain. In the game, he used to go through the anchor points on the map and had long forgotten that ordinary people used to climb mountains.
This made him immediately change his mind, "Then let's recharge our batteries first."
The Qingqi smiled again, then he said nothing and looked at the outlying island and the towering peaks that appeared behind it.
This was the second time he came to Narukami Island. Compared with the last time, his purpose and state of mind were different.
Regarding this change, Qinqi didn't know whether it was good or bad. The only thing he was sure of was that someone was with him this time. No matter good or bad, they could face it together.
Every time I think of this, any negative emotions will be erased.
Sighing, Qinqi suddenly wanted to become more reliable so that Chiyo Rei could rely on him more.
Chiyo Rei on the side could not know what Qinqi was thinking. After the boat stopped at the pier, his attention was attracted by several mikos wearing red skirts and white tops on the pier.
Observing those shrine maidens, Chiyo Rei couldn't help but wonder if it was Yae Shenzi who knew they were coming in advance? Or is this a trap for fools?
Chiyo Rei made random guesses, and at the same time he became nervous, not realizing that someone was running towards him and Qinqi Zhe.
"Xiao Lian, what are you going to do when you get off the boat?"
A clear voice appeared from my ears without warning.
Chiyo Rei, who didn't react, blurted out, "We're going to the dock to order French fries."
After finishing speaking, Chiyo Rei realized what he had said. He quickly turned to look at the person who asked the question and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Haru Asano.
"What are French fries?" Asano Haru asked again, tilting his head.
At this time, the curious person followed and looked over. He was also curious about what French fries were.
"It's fried potatoes." Chiyo Rei used the simplest explanation, and then he added when he felt it was not enough, "Some foreigners in Tatarsha call fried potatoes French fries."
"That's right." Asano Haru nodded seemingly understandingly.
Qingqi also had no doubts and silently wrote down this statement.
Seeing that the fool was over, Chiyo Rei asked Asano Haru why he appeared here?
"I ran over when I saw you guys here." Asano Haru said bluntly.
After hearing what she said, Chiyo Rei felt that she would be scolded later.
Sure enough, Mrs. Asano and several servants appeared the next second.
Mrs. Asano, whose face was full of anxiety, frowned and scolded, "Xiaoharu, you are running around again."
After shaking, Asano turned around and shouted, "Mother."
Mrs. Asano didn't look very good, but she couldn't get angry due to the presence of guests.
After calming down, Mrs. Asano said to Chiyo Rei and Qinqi, "The miko from Narukami Taisha Shrine is waiting for us below. Do you want to come with us?"
"No need." Chiyo Rei refused without thinking, "Qingqi and I just agreed to go to Narukami Taisha Shrine after we have rested."
The Qingqi man hummed when he heard this, "As far as I know, there is a mountain road to go to Narukami Grand Shrine..."
"No need to climb the mountain."
A smiling female voice appeared without warning, interrupting the Qinqi's silence.
Surrounded by miko, Yae Kamiko with fox ears walked from the other end of the deck.
After glancing at Qinqi, Yae Shenzi's eyes moved and stayed on everyone present for a few seconds, and finally fell on Asano Haru and Mrs. Asano.
"I have a way to take you directly to Narukami Taisha Shrine." Her tone was firm, completely blocking Chiyo Rei's previous refusal.
In fact, as soon as Yae Shenzi appeared, Chiyo Rei knew that he and Qingqi Zhe would not go today.
The Qingqi Zhe remained silent. He did not expect that the Yae Shenzi would come in person, which made him not know how to face it for a while.
Fortunately, Yae Shenzi didn't care much about the Qinqi's attitude. She pretended not to recognize them and ordered the witches to prepare. They would use thunder seeds to fly directly to the top of the mountain.
Everything was arranged, and the surprised Mrs. Asano blinked as if waking up from a dream.
"Mr. Palace Secretary, you don't need to come here in person." Mrs. Asano said respectfully.
"It's okay, come and take a stroll on the outlying island. I happened to remember that your ship will arrive today, so I stopped by." Yae Kamiko said, leaning down and asking Asano Haru, "Do you still remember me? At that time, you called me Sister Fox. .”
Nodding vigorously, Asano Haru had stars in his eyes.
Satisfied with this, Yae Shenzi laughed twice more, then stood up and greeted everyone, "Let's go."
After saying that, she turned around, but before she even took a step forward, she turned back and added, "And the two guests who arrived together, please come too."
As soon as these words came out, Qingqi realized that the Eightfold Divine Son was coming for him, and his whereabouts had long been known to him.
Really unable to make up his mind, Qinqi simply asked Chiyo for his opinion, "Rei, do you want to go?"
Chiyo Rei looked up blankly, wondering if they could still say no?
The palace ministers of Narukami Taisha Shrine all showed up in person.
Regarding meeting Yae Shenzi, Chiyo Rei could only think of being caught off guard.
Really not knowing what to say, Chiyo Rei replied, "I can do anything."
"Speaking of which." Seeing that they were still not leaving, Yae Shenzi deliberately asked the miko next to him in a doubtful tone, "Is this little guy also going to be a miko?"
Chiyo Rei immediately woke up when he heard this. He waved his hands quickly, "I am a boy and cannot be a miko." Others would say this as a joke, but this is Yae Shenzi.
With her personality, she might even have made the miko uniforms for him and Qin Qi Zhi.
Thinking of this, Chiyo Rei felt that it was still necessary to remind Qinqi to be careful about the pink fox.
"Really? That's such a pity." Yae Shenzi sighed deliberately, and the next second her eyes turned to Qinqi.
Chiyo Rei noticed the look in her eyes and her heart immediately lifted.
Without giving Yae Shenzi a chance to speak, he tugged on Qingqi's clothes and said sincerely, "We'd better go with him. We can save some energy by not having to climb the mountain."
And if Yae Shenzi is asked to continue talking, who knows what she will say. Chiyo Rei swallowed back the second half of the unfinished sentence.
Seeing Chiyo Rei say this, Qingqi agreed.
Yae Shenzi shook his head without leaving a trace and led the witches off the boat.
A few minutes later, the group of people got into a car with the logo of Narukami Taisha Shrine and headed to Shadow Mountain.
Fortunately, Yae Kamiko did not ride in the same car with them this time.
Temporarily gaining time away from Yae Shenzi, Chiyo Rei reviewed a series of emergencies for more than ten minutes, and discovered a problem belatedly.
Looking at the old man sitting across the carriage, Qingqi asked the question after hesitating for a moment.
"Qingqi Zhe, don't you want to go to Narukami Taisha Shrine with them?" Chiyo Rei felt that Qingqi Zhe wanted him to rest at the beginning, but later asked him if he wanted to go to Narukami Taisha Shrine. In fact, it was Qingqi Zhe who was there. Confused about whether to go or not.
Facts have proved that Chiyo Rei's guess was correct. The admirer sighed and admitted, "There are some. I haven't decided what to say to her yet."
"She?" Chiyorei tilted his head and asked knowingly.
Only then did Qingqi remember that he had not told Chiyo Rei about his entanglement with Yae Shenzi, so he thought for a while and told him the story of how he went to Narukami Island to ask for help.
He personally said that he was refused to meet the gods, and he felt a little disappointed.
It's just that Qinqi didn't show his sadness. He continued to talk, "Later, the Yae Palace Secretary met me and promised to send someone to step on the tar sand to solve the problem of Mikage Furnace. But at that time, she only said a few words. Leave in a hurry."
His voice paused for a moment, and he finally chose to say what he was thinking at the time, "This makes me think that she doesn't pay attention to the disasters caused by stepping on tar sand."
"Maybe she's too busy." Chiyo Rei answered subconsciously.
Qingqi agreed with this statement, "Yes, but at that time I was too worried about stepping on Taosha, which led me to ignore this possibility." For him, Taosha was everything to him, but for the palace minister, maybe Just a small thing.
In addition, Yae Shenzi fulfilled her promise and indeed sent the shrine maiden to Tatar Sand to deal with the pollution.
Thinking of this, Qinqizhe realized that perhaps more than he didn't know how to face the Yae Shenzi, he didn't know how to face someone who knew his puppet identity.
No matter how much others tried to comfort him, he could not easily let go of his identity and lack of heart.
Chiyo Rei noticed Qingqi's depression, which made him couldn't help but express his true opinion, "You did a good job. Without you reporting the news, people on Narukami Island might not even know what happened to Tatar Sand. "
In the game, the Fools secretly blocked the news about Tatarsha, so that no one else could send the news. Only Qingqi himself broke through the siege with a small boat.
Chiyo Rei reviewed the game plot, and suddenly he caught a piece of information that he had never paid attention to in the past. Niwa was killed when the Qinqi went to Narukami Island to ask for help.
Following this train of thought, he came up with a guess: Qingqi arrived at Narukami Island just in time. Did the Fools let him go on purpose?
If he really let him go deliberately, it means that the doctor's killing of Niyu was not a temporary act, but part of the plan, and he must 'disappear'.
This makes it even more impossible for Niwa to survive.
If the doctor makes mistakes in such key details, it would be a shame for him to be called the second CEO of the Fools.
So how much has the plot been changed?
Chiyo Rei felt confused about the future again. He didn't know that this was not the end, but the beginning.
It didn't take much time, and the car with the logo of Narukami Taisha stopped at the foot of Kagemata Mountain.
Using the thunder seeds prepared by the witches, the group easily reached the shrine on the top of the mountain.
During the rapid flight, Chiyo Rei held on to Qinqi Zhi's clothes to prevent herself from falling.
"Okay, you take the guests to look around and get familiar with the environment of Narukami Taisha Shrine." Yae Shenzi ordered the miko as soon as he landed. This time the guests did not refer to Chiyo Rei and Qinqi.
The shrine maidens understood and led Haru Asano, who was excited about flying high, and Mrs. Asano, who was still in shock, towards the shrine.
After they left, only the Eightfold Divine Son and the Qingqi were left in the entire courtyard, as well as a faint Chiyo Rei.
"Long time no see." Yae Shenzi said hello to Qingqi, and looked at Chiyo Rei by the way.
"Long time no see, Eighth Palace Secretary." Qingqi responded solemnly.
Yae Shenzi laughed, and she went straight to the topic without further words, "I came to you to ask you to help save an item."
Before she finished speaking, a strange-looking thing like a chess piece emerged from her open palm.
"That's it. The gods created you at that time just to preserve it. Today I give it to you, which can be regarded as returning it to its original owner."
Yae Shenzi followed the instructions and did not notice the shocked expression of Chiyo Rei at the side.
At this moment Chiyo Rei was sure that the plot had run wild like a wild horse and could never be pulled back. It had been completely changed.
