Chapter 392 Find an enemy to have some fun
The debt settlement officer approached slowly, without a trace of hostility in his demeanor.
Huiyuan put the pass into the Eye of God and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Suddenly! He knelt down on one knee, supported himself with one hand on the ground, lowered his head, and made a gesture of respect.
Who has ever seen anything like this? Fatui soldiers kneeling before the Liyue general? Are you kidding me?
Although no one knows that Huiyuan, who appears as a fox, is actually General Fuxiao, this kind of thing... ugh...
(What the heck?! Dude, why are you kneeling? I'm a Liyue general, you know... Don't you know that? Or is it just some weird hobby of the ladies or the skirmishers?)
No, no, perhaps this is just the wicked humor of some high-dimensional god who created this world!
This scene left Shinsuke Hiiragi completely stunned. He thought to himself:
(The esteemed guest the executive lady mentioned, this mysterious fox woman, could she also be an executive?! My goodness, thank goodness I didn't anger this person...)
The next second, the debt collector took out a letter from his pocket and respectfully handed it over.
Seeing this, Huiyuan suppressed her chaotic thoughts and calmly accepted the letter.
There's no need to overthink it; this is probably some kind of invitation, and the lady likely wants to talk to me in person.
After receiving the letter, Huiyuan waved her hand, and the debt collector disappeared in a shadow.
Afterwards, Huiyuan glanced briefly at Hiiragi Shinsuke across from him, and left the Kansei Magistrate's Office without saying a word.
This confirms that the lady already knew that Kurenai was coming to Inazuma...
How did she learn this information?
There are two possibilities—Qi Yi, who is another executor [servant] skilled in intelligence gathering, and who has been provided with information by an insider.
Don't be fooled by a lady's haughty demeanor; she can be quite arrogant at times, such as... when giving gifts to children?
Therefore, the servants had a fairly good impression of her, and there was a possibility of cooperation.
The second possibility is that it's the letter from the Ice Queen that Huiyuan has been keeping in the Eye of God space.
After system detection, this letter contains the power of the Ice God and may even have a location tracking function.
Perhaps it was during Huiyuan's voyage at sea that the lady obtained the information through this point.
(However, knowing it was me, she still gave me the pass. Wasn't she trying to trap Ying and Pai on the island? Wasn't she afraid I'd bring them all to Narukami Island?)
After thinking it over, Huiyuan returned to Ying's side and told her about obtaining the pass.
Afterwards, the group arrived at the checkpoint for leaving the island, attempting to reach Narukami Island.
Unsurprisingly, the samurai in charge of checking passes seemed to have received instructions that even though Huiyuan had a pass, Ying and Paimon were not allowed to leave.
Helpless, the group returned to the World Merchants Association to discuss their next steps.
"That despicable lady actually colluded with the magistrate to confine us to an outlying island!"
Seeing Paimon stomp his foot angrily, Huiyuan whispered:
"Actually... Martha and I can travel freely..."
"Hmph, I'll definitely settle the score with her when I get the chance!"
After saying that, Paimon grabbed a dessert from the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
She chewed each bite carefully, seemingly treating the food as a lady, intending to vent her anger by eating her.
While eating, Paimon suddenly choked on a cookie and started pounding his chest...
Marta handed him a glass of water and chuckled softly:
"It's alright, Paimon, there's still a chance. Didn't the eldest daughter of the Hiiragi family invite you to meet her at the Kanjo Magistrate's Office tonight?"
"Sigh...it seems this is the only way. Damn it, she just imagined the dessert as a lady, and she still managed to shut me up. I'll get my revenge!"
Martha teased Paimon, her feelings written all over her tail.
Ying smiled upon seeing this, and then looked at Huiyuan.
"Well... Huiyuan, you and Marta go first. We'll see how things go tonight. If that young lady can help, we'll meet up with you then."
"Okay, I was just thinking of stretching my muscles. I've been idle on the ship for so long, and I feel like I've become rusty with my elemental power."
After agreeing to communicate via mobile phone with Yingmei, Huiyuan, having rested enough, left the island with Marta.
After walking along the sandy path through the shallow water, they arrived at the outskirts of a small village called Konta Village. There, they found a fox statue surrounded by white candles, and the two sat down around it...
Night had fallen, and the sounds of various insects, small animals, and waves created a tranquil atmosphere that made it easy to relax.
Marta took out the "Willful Sword," which her master and another sister had crafted together, along with a whole bunch of miscellaneous maintenance supplies, and began to maintain the sword.
While vacationing in the Golden Apple Islands, Courteney once asked her this question:
"Why bother with daily maintenance when you can just do cleaning once in a while? Isn't that too much trouble?"
For Courtney, weapons are just consumables; she replaces them when they break.
No matter how well a weapon is maintained, it can never become a divine weapon, because once it is forged, it has no room for improvement...
However, Marta had a different perspective.
"Courtney, you enjoy playing the piano, and you often maintain it, right? Keeping the piano in your hands in the best condition is like a sword. If it gets tired one day, wouldn't that be terrible at a crucial moment?"
Moreover, the weapon itself also possesses a certain "emotion".
This bond is proof of the tireless effort it has put into getting to know its owner day and night.
After a long time, Martha repaired her sword.
She examined her sword and listened to its sound.
"Oh, so you want a big fight right away, don't you? Last time I fought bare-handed, did that make you envious? Well, I'll find you an enemy to give you some fun..."
After speaking, Marta stood up and looked at Huiyuan.
Huiyuan looked completely bewildered, pointing a finger at herself, almost as if she had drawn a question mark on her face.
What kind of good sister would use her brother to test weapons?
However, the expected battle did not occur. Marta simply grinned at Huiyuan and then headed towards the northern beach.
It turned out that she had only discovered that there was a group of nobori (commonly known as: wandering samurai) here.
Seeing this, Huiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, then followed after him, saying:
“Perfect timing, I’ll also practice… Marta, don’t hold back, fight to the death, it doesn’t matter if you die, your brother just happens to have a skill I want to try out.”
"Oh? Since you've said so, brother..."
"Ah, let's make this clear first. Out of humanitarian considerations, smash a bottle of painkiller on them before you hit them, to prevent them from going insane from the pain."
