It rained heavily all night, and the weather started to clear after the rain on Minukami Island.

The first ray of dawn from the horizon dyed half of the sky red. The cherry-pink petals were now fiery red and wet with rainwater, making them look a little misty.

During the day, the bluestone-paved streets of Inazuma Castle were not affected by the rainy night. People were still flowing, and all kinds of people passed each other.

Akiyuki, wearing a snow-haired kimono top, was walking among the crowd. He was wearing a bamboo hat, and his aloof temperament attracted attention.

Side by side with him was Manyo Maplehara, who had taken off the armor of the general of the shogunate army and was wearing a red robe with black edges.

He has a handsome look and a handsome face, and he has the air of a bright moon and clear wind, which makes the clouds clear and the sun shine through.

He was carrying a three-star artifact, the tiger fish eating knife, and the green eye of the god was swinging around his waist. The wind spirit's coat of arms intertwined light and dark as if they were alive, as if they were breathing.

At this time, he looked at the greatly changed eyes of God with distress, feeling distressed in addition to excitement.

"This gift of yours is really too heavy," he fiddled with the Eye of God, and successfully received a lingering response from the breeze.

"The life of a ronin is too monotonous. Wouldn't it be nice to have a companion to accompany you?" Zhaoyue held up a souvenir for someone, "Although he is not a human being and cannot speak."

"It doesn't matter, I can hear it cheering for joy," he held the corner of his mouth and said with a wry smile, "It feels like taking care of a child."

“Experience the life of a nanny in advance.”

"However, you are willing to give it up. The position of general of the shogunate army is less than one person and more than ten thousand people. Except for Kujo Sora, all the military forces pursued by Tianling are within your scope of dispatch."

"My ambition is not power. The civil strife in Inazuma has been basically put down. The places where force is needed will gradually decrease. It is true that there is no peace recently, but what does it have to do with me, a ronin samurai?"

"I heard that you are going to Liyue Port recently?"

"I want to see it. My mother is from Liyue, and half of me is the blood of that ancient country that walked with the gods. I want to set foot on that vast and rugged land with vast territory and abundant resources to see the soft petals.

Colorful flowers, enjoy the glass lily that loves to sing."

His dim eyes became bright, filled with yearning.

"...Ha," Maplehara Manyo's lips twitched and her eyes looked straight into the distance.

He seemed to see an outlying island in the distance, where canvases were gathered, and a huge fleet docked. They had made an appointment to take the Death Star to the port where thousands of sails were gathered and tens of thousands of sails arrived.

Hanamizaka is the gateway from the suburbs of Inazuma Castle to the city.

The famous fireworks family in Inazuma Castle, the Naganohara family has been here for generations, guarding that small house and constantly creating bunches of gorgeous and unique fireworks with the spirit of excellence.

"Xiao Palace?"

The girl with a chestnut short ponytail kept a sunny smile on her face and greeted every neighbor she passed by enthusiastically.

Compared to Kamisato Ayaka, who is admired by thousands of people, she is the social butterfly of Inazuma City. She knows everyone from officials and nobles to market vendors.

Both black and white are related, and their popularity has been accumulated from generation to generation. They shelter fugitives and transport them privately. This is the bandit leader of Narukami Island in the summer - Xiao Gong.

"Bah, bah, bah!" Xiaogong spat a few times after hearing his comments, and shouted angrily: "What do you think I am?"

"I have stopped doing those things a long time ago. Now that Narukami Island is stable and Tianling is enforcing the law, people are no longer arrested randomly. The Daozi people staying outside can also smoothly return to Daozu and settle down through identification certificates. There is less stigma around people."

!”

"..." Maplehara Manyo watched their interaction and unconsciously showed a happy aunt's smile.

Whether it was him, the masters and servants of the Shenli family, General Raiden or Xiao Gong in front of him, they were all keenly aware of Zhaoyue's changes, but they all remained silent in a tacit agreement.

Maplehara Manyo was a little worried, but now that he saw Zhaoyue's natural appearance, his hanging heart slowly relaxed. It seemed that he was overly worried.

"You two, are you going to Liyue Port together?" Xiao Gong asked.

She was sorting boxes of fireworks. She only paused for a while when Zhaoyue and the others first visited, and now she is slowly busy again.

"...Let's go after the Naganohara Fireworks Festival," she didn't hold back. She had seen many young people like Akatsuki who wanted to go out to sea, but they were all suppressed by Inazuma's strict laws.

Long.

Fortunately, although many people left, Inazuma Castle was not deserted, but became more lively.

There are new faces every day, either adventurers coming from afar or foreign businessmen coming from outlying islands to seek business opportunities. They have brought changes to Ina Wife, and new blood is flowing endlessly.

A new eternity is slowly being built up, a true eternity beyond the understanding of General Thunder.

The core of eternity is not unchanging. Nothing in this world is ever completely static. Even the eternal gods themselves will feel lonely during hundreds of years of silence.

The newly born rice wife is slowly glowing with hope, the newly sprouted buds are full of vitality, and the newly conceived hope is shining brightly.

"There will be a chance for the Naganohara Fireworks Festival, and the Southern Cross departure will be in a week."

"Looking forward to your visit, Acting Secretary for Administration."

Obviously, Xiaogong knows something inside.

"This temporary position has been cancelled, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come to greet you. I should be handling government affairs at the castle tower."

"Speaking of which, it's really hard for me to imagine that a general like that would actually be ill."

General Thunder and Lightning, this title means majesty to Inazuma's eyes. It will remain unchanged for thousands of generations. What a heavy promise it is.

When they found out that General Raiden was in ill health, most of the Daozhime people probably felt like the sky was falling in their hearts.

Fortunately, this is the second time that the sky has fallen, and due to emotions and reasons, the acceptance level has become much higher. Shangshan Zhaoyue, as the acting Chief Secretary, can be regarded as doing her job.

"..." Shangshang Zhaoyue smiled and said nothing. Being physically ill is simply impossible for the devil who is the ultimate life form in the world. It is just an excuse for someone to be lazy.

He used King Bai's spiritual power to help Lei Qianqian "repair" the general, thereby freeing himself from the endless government affairs and preparing for the trip to Liyue Port.

A poor journey among thousands of rocks and mountains, followed by a poem of wind and pastoral songs.

"Let's go, contact Southern Cross to order a ferry ticket." He said goodbye to Xiaomiya and greeted Maplehara Manyo.

"The reputation of the Southern Cross fleet is guaranteed. During the lockdown period, the rice wives only accepted trade transactions from the Southern Cross. They abide by the industry rules and understand the rules. The most important thing is that they have the experience of traveling through thunderstorms many times, so their safety is extremely high.

.”

Akatsuki talked about it and spread information about the Southern Cross Fleet to Maplehara Manyo. Although he disclosed to Maplehara Manyo the value for money information everywhere, but after hearing about the high price, Maplehara Manyo

I still looked at the purse in my arms sadly.

So expensive... If I hadn't been a general of the shogunate army for a long time, and captain Inamitsu, and received a lot of military pay, the little money I earned from wandering alone, I guess even the installment payment wouldn't be able to fill the huge pit of this ticket.
