Chapter 194 What other reasons are needed?
"Guess who I am?"
It was raining outside the window and the weather was bad. Kamisato Ayaka chose to practice swordsmanship in the indoor training ground. Although this is an era of hot weapons, the family swordsmanship still needs to be passed on.
The girl put down her rolled-up sleeves and went to the study.
This is the house that was allocated to Kamisato Ayato by the shady gang. Although this Yakuza organization is not very large, it is unexpectedly generous to a role like the strategist.
Although the scale of this house is not as luxurious and grand as Kamisato's house in Teyvat, it is not much different. Even the residence of the boss of the shady organization is not as good as Kamisato Ayato's.
Although Kamisato Ayaka's apparent identity does not belong to the dark side, with Kamisato Ayato's secret operation, her identity has long become an undercover agent sent by the dark side to the prayer meeting. It does not violate the identity card to secretly gather together at certain times.
Kamisato Ayato was standing by the window next to the study. On the handsome face of the young man there was an ambiguous smile, and from a distance he actually looked a little sad.
Kamisato Ayaka blinked. The girl with her hair tied up quietly stood behind her brother, tiptoed, raised her hands to cover Kamisato Ayaka's eyes, and said in a voice as brisk as a mountain spring: "Guess who I am?"
"Hmm...which naughty and cute little girl is teasing me? I can't guess it for a moment." Kamisato Ayato tilted her head and began to think. She guessed several names in a row, accurately avoiding the correct answer, and finally could only beg for mercy.
Kamisato Ayaka smiled. She let go of her hand, with a look of bright pride on her face, and relief written in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows: "I win again this time, brother."
Even if he knew who the person blindfolding him was, Kamisato Ayato would never guess it right. If his sister wanted to win, then let her win. She would always win over her brother, this was an iron rule.
After the fight, the window became quiet again, except that there were two people watching the rain.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Kamisato Ayaka listened to the sound of raindrops falling on the stone steps, like playing a piece of music, without any pattern, but with rhythm, which made people sigh at the unpredictable nature.
"What does Linghua want me to think?" The young man answered nonchalantly. His eyes never left the rain and he didn't even glance at his beloved sister. It seemed as if he was avoiding something, or ashamed to face something.
"You know, brother. Although I am the White Egret Princess, I am not an indispensable member of Inazuma. Without me, brother can still lead the company. Without me, everyone can still go on with their lives. The only difference is that there will be no after-dinner conversation."
Kamisato Ayaka's beautiful eyes are filled with stars. She is like a tall mountain pine. Although she is born noble, she takes root on the cliffs and eventually grows into what a person who protects others should be.
Princess Shiraha has never been a coward, and Kamisato Ayaka has never been afraid of danger.
"What is the reason that makes you prefer to drag that god in the sky into the chess game instead of choosing the most suitable me?" Her soft question was deafening, and it made Kamisato Ayato tremble.
She was questioning him.
Questioning why he didn't use her as a pawn as well, questioning why he was unwilling to push her out in exchange for stronger evidence.
This not only reminded Kamisato Ayato of a private meeting he had with Elhaisen before he made his decision.
No one knew they had met, including his closest sister, Kamisato Ayaka.
A small, dark room, in the pitch-black night, is perfect for discussing some conspiracies.
He suddenly laughed in the dark, laughing at his own ridiculous thoughts.
The lights in the room were turned on, and the bright light dispelled the darkness in the room. Elhaisen stood at the door. The clerk of the Ordinariate turned on the lights, closed the door, pulled out a chair and sat down with a cold expression.
"Why did you turn on the light?"
"If you feel that darkness is more suitable, you can turn off the lights yourself." He was as sharp as ever. "So, you didn't call me here just for this, did you?"
"What if I say yes?" Kamisato Ayato looked at Elhaisen with a smile. The gray-haired man frowned slightly: "I hope you take this meeting seriously. I don't have much time left for you."
"I'll be frank. I hope to replace the supporting role with the general." Kamisato Ayato opened his mouth to put forward his request. Elhaisen's eyebrows moved: "Reason."
"what?"
"Give me a reason that can convince me. The reason I need." Elhaisen repeated, "Although the role of the supporting role is not as important as the leading role, she can open the whole drama and become part of the climax. You want to replace the leading role, why?"
"There are so many people, why do you have to let her play the supporting role?" Kamisato Ayato asked back.
"Because she is the White Egret Princess. Her beauty is known throughout the Teyvat Academy, just like Nelue from the Grand Bazaar, Yunjin from Liyue, Barbara from Mondstadt, and Funina from Fontaine."
"Look, you've already listed so many candidates, why do you have to let my sister go on stage?"
There was a chill in Kamisato Ayaka's eyes, and Elhaisen understood in his heart that this man was still partially assimilated by the card. Not to mention that he had no relationship with the original Kamisato Ayaka, they were just classmates. Now - Kamisato Ayaka seemed to have really become the existence that he had to protect and defend with his life, and became her sister.
If it is not handled properly, he will feel alienated and finally break up.
This is a conspiracy.
Elhaisen thought of the system that jumped out to stop and change the rules after the gods took suppressive measures. It still had a backup plan. Among this group of smart people, as long as one of them was alienated, their plans would be aborted and their dreams would become a bubble and cease to exist.
Kamisato Ayato was the one it chose.
The weakness of his ID card was too obvious. He had a desire to protect the society and to tolerate his family. Because of his experiences in his youth, he was cunning and scheming. Elhaisen was already on guard against any backup plans in the system, so he was not panicked.
"Because your sister is behind you." A natural conspirator, a decisive superior, and a calm strategist.
"Choose the General, and she will have the entire Inazuma behind her."
He was completely overwhelmed by his emotions, and it would be pointless to argue with him here.
"Okay. But dragging gods into the game is not a wise choice. It's not time for them to enter yet."
"I have my own way."
"So brother, can you tell me why?"
She is still asking.
"Does a brother need any more reasons to protect his sister?"
