To the eternal you

"Miss, almost all the evidence has been collected."

Ma Ci knelt on one knee, with three toon-patterned screens in front of her, and she reported with her head down.

There is incense in the house, and the Shenli family, which is one of the three worships of Inazuma, naturally uses high-quality sandalwood. The smell is mellow, elegant and refreshing.

There are also musicians holding zithers on both sides. This kind of zither from Liyue has undergone local evolution and transformation, and is also called Yayue zither. It is widely spread among nobles, celebrities and scholars, and it is still being played in ensembles. occupy a place.

They play the music of the festival, and what the young lady loves most is the accompaniment of Kagura, which has been dedicated to the Great Imperial Palace since ancient times. Kagura is used to pray for blessings from the gods and to ward off disasters.

The pronunciation of the word "kagura" in Inazuma language evolved from the word "kamukura".The so-called "sacred seat" means "the place where God descends".

In other words, the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family is regarded as a child with a relationship with the gods, and there is also the saying of "bells dedicated to the gods".

Kamisato Suzuki has been instilled with this idea since she was a child. She never played with other children since she was a child, and she has endless lessons every day. Even if she completes the courses with excellent progress, she will not relax in her spare time. Maybe, but to review Kagura, which is extremely valued.

Everything about her is born for dedication.

Therefore, since the body and mind will be dedicated to the gods, then she must be the purest and untouchable tsubaki flower.

To eat, to eat dishes made of the rarest animals and plants.

To wear, to wear the dress made of the most expensive silk.

Listen, listen to the rites played by the most skillful musicians.

Only in this way can we develop the current Kamisato Suzuru. She will be the bond between gods and people that the Kamisato family needs.

After the music, the dance is over.

Her crisp and ethereal, yet cold voice came from behind the screen.

"All the people involved are registered. The corrupt soldiers need to assist Tianling to carry out confiscation and storage, and assist in the reconnaissance of food and materials to reorganize and circulate as soon as possible to reduce civilian losses."

"But... we have put in so much effort, should we hand over all the credit to the other two?"

Ma Ci raised her head in confusion and looked at the young lady who had come out. Her frosty white hair was tied high into a ponytail, and her eyes were ice blue. Gently wiped the sweat from the forehead, her fair skin was still slightly flushed after exercise, and the crystal sweat seemed to soak the white casual clothes she was wearing.

"No, what She Bongxing got is more important than those things."

She turned her head, stopped wiping for a while, and explained to her seriously.

"Exhausting all of Inazuma's weapons can't shake the majesty of the Great Imperial Palace, and there are still refugees who can't eat enough to hold tens of millions of acres of land, but people are different. People will take root and never forget everything they hold."

"Then as long as they are in this land of rice wives, they won't be able to run away. In order to survive, they will do everything they can to prove their worth."

The society will accept this part of the inheritance and make good use of it.

Whether it's supplies or weapons, everything is attributed to one person, and as the social practice that coordinates the other two practices, it holds the truth that they don't know.

In the eyes of the Great Imperial Palace, he is the most sensible child in the family, and may not necessarily be the eldest son who has the greatest power and status, but it doesn't matter if he is the most lovable second son.

This is what the society values.

"Understood."

Ma Ci was once again thankful that she had chosen this lady, no, it should be said that she was lucky to be chosen by the lady.

Of course, it is impossible for the Kamisato family to have only one child, Ms. Suzuraki. She also has an older brother and two younger sisters.

The elder brother will become the head of the family in the future, needless to say, he will also be the person in power in the three major practices in the future.

On the outside, there is an elder brother who presides over affairs, and on the inside, Suzuki listens to the words of the gods and decides where to go in the future.

The continuation and inheritance of the Kamiya family will not be cut off.

Lingle put the white scarf into the washbasin, looked at the silk scarf that spread out like smoke, but recklessly hooked and rotated it with her index finger, and the water surface turned like a small whirlpool.

"By the way, have you found out about that Shao Nayan?"

"Lang and Youzi's progress...it's not going well."

A tangled look appeared on Ma Ci's face.

"No need to mind, just report truthfully."

Suzuki was very kind to the last three ninjas, which also made Maci feel guilty. Even if they were not good at things, the lady would rarely punish them.

"That Shao Nayan, I found out her name, her name is Qi. She probably entered the shogunate during the autumn harvest season, and then she has been studying with Master Da Nayan. After that, she solved the case of the floating wanderer, which was a headache for Tian Lingxing. She came back Since then, it has been the same as usual, insisting on saying something strange..."

Ma Ci's voice was tinged with doubt.

"Is the work attitude very serious? She even took the initiative to work overtime to solve the accumulated problems. Every day, she would be busy until close to the early morning before going back, and the next day she would come to the castle to start work again at dawn."

"It lasted for a week, but she still doesn't look tired. It's better to look at her appearance. I think if it wasn't for Mr. Da Nayan, maybe she would sleep on the desk sometime and never go back."

"...What about your private life?"

Even Suzuru has never seen such a guy, no... If I have to say it, I was so tired when I was the hardest when I was young, but dealing with official duties is not as good as studying.

The latter only needs to be sincere and endure loneliness to learn and grow well. There are countless trivial and trivial matters in official affairs that consume one's mind, and even major matters require reading many books to find solutions.

"Privately, we didn't dare to get too close. There are tengu guards over there. We can only judge from the exit we observed that we rarely go out and almost stay at home."

"She is a person with unimaginable self-discipline. How about she is really human...?"

Of course, Ma Ci didn't dare to say the last sentence, it was the kind of words that the young lady didn't like to hear the most.

"It's a tough opponent."

Lingle took his hand out of the washbasin, a few splashes of water splashed down, and the small whirlpool in the basin was still slowly turning with a silk scarf, and his ice blue eyes were cautious.

"It seems that it is necessary to touch her in private, and she is the benefactor of this contribution, both public and private, so the Kamisato family can't slack off."

She Fengxing did get the best reward in this incident, but the representative behind Qi is Tsubaki Dai Nayan. It is rumored that since the castle tower was established, it has assisted people around the Imperial Palace. Now that Inazuma Castle is so prosperous, there are also opponents. credit.

The other party is willing to give She Fengxing this opportunity to take advantage of it, and it is not without price. She also needs to involve the other two Fengxing as she wishes to remove the moths inside.

So I had to get in touch with that girl who even she thought was amazing.

We met in a hurry that day, and when we met each other's eyes, even her mood from training until now was in constant turmoil.

It's not just because of such superficial reasons as the appearance, but a deeper, wonderful feeling brought about by the touch between souls.

It was as if she was the god he had always wanted to serve.

The girl gave her such a feeling.

But it was only for a moment. When the other party looked away, the mysterious and mysterious feeling disappeared.

But it doesn't matter, she is very patient, far more patient than ordinary people, like a weaver on a spider's web, quietly waiting for the cute butterfly to fall into the net, and then slowly, as if intruding into the other party's powerless struggle Like the heart, twist it little by little into a cocoon, and finally suck the sweet juice inside.

As soon as she thought that the girl would gradually fall into the web she wove, she felt a certain sense of rebelliousness.

"Miss Suzukara, that... Miss Suzukara!"

Ma Ci's call brought her back to her senses, and the hand holding her soft cheek slipped quietly, and her sickly and beautiful smile also restrained, and it was as cold as ice again.

"Is there anything else?"

"The head of Konta Village visited [Baosheng Sizheng] a few days ago, and begged it not to continue playing pranks, do you remember?"

"Well, I remember. Didn't Konta Village suffer no more pranks after he finished worshiping?"

Suzuki did remember the old man. He heard that he was a good person when he was young. The Shenli family had recruited him, but the other party refused. Instead, he returned to his village and worked hard to build it. Finally, the current Konta Village came into being.

"That's right, but [Baosheng Sizheng] Lord Wu Baizang smashed the stone sculpture of Lord Huzhai Palace's family..."

Ma Ci looked at Lingle whose face had darkened, and said with difficulty.

"And... also took away the important treasures used by Shenying Daxie."

It was a comb once used by Master Hu Zhai Palace, and it was also a very important treasure. Without that comb, it would be impossible to dredge the deposits of the earth veins, and the tumor would continue to breed monsters.

And it just so happens... a branch of Shenzao suppressed by this comb is under Shenli's family.

Kamisato Suzuki was already angry when she heard the last one. If you say that the incident in Konta Village is a serious case of mischief, at least both parties were not injured, and they reconciled well.

However, Wu Baizang stole the treasures and destroyed the stone sculptures of the family members of the Fox House. The fairy fox lost his will power and fell into a deeper sleep, which can be regarded as an act of revenge in a certain sense.

But now the sky fox and ground fox are all asleep, and no one controls its rudeness.

Lord Narugami who bestowed Wubaizang with the title of [Baosheng Sizheng] is still unaware.

No, if she found out about this, Wubaizang might be in danger of her life.

That lord valued Lord Huzhai Palace and the treasures no less than the relics of friends.

Now that the child of a friend's family has been beaten, and the belongings of the friend have been stolen, she is in a good mood if she doesn't chop Wubaizang with a single knife.

Considering the recent actions of the Kamisato family, there are not too many people to deal with the lost towns, Suzuru lowered his eyes and thought for a while.

"How about this, send the invitation and power of attorney to Nayan Pavilion."

"See if the other party intends to intervene in this matter. If they don't come, they are going to hire shadow servants to solve this demon raccoon. It's good for them to be punished for this crime."

"If Master Qi is willing to intervene in this matter, then we can also try to see it, and maybe we can gain something unexpected."

After all, this Shao Nayan really made her very curious.

Just being an exception to be interviewed by the Great Imperial Palace is enough to make her care, after all, there are more competitors, and the favor of the Shenli family will be reduced by half.

In other words, to use a slightly inappropriate metaphor.

She is Kamisato Suzuki's "rival in love".

The war for the favor of the gods is about to start secretly.

PS: The little girl at home has a birthday, and I need to help arrange the birthday exhibition, and the second one may be delayed.
