As Kazuha spoke, a light called determination shone in his eyes.
After a moment, he continued:
"From the moment the Vision Hunt Decree was issued, I already felt it was a very unreasonable order."
"But... I never had the resolve to oppose the Raiden Shogun."
"Until that day... after The Person Wearing the Yellow Fox Mask rescued an ordinary old man from Inazuma from the Tenryou Commission soldiers."
"I thought, perhaps that person's actions that day were a beginning. He gave many people the precious gift of courage."
Kazuha's gaze became incredibly serious:
"Therefore, we have now decided to contend with the Raiden Shogun and fight against the Vision Hunt Decree!"
Seeing Kazuha's serious expression, Yuuko fell silent.
He hadn't expected there to be such people in Inazuma now.
At this moment, Kazuha's Friend patted Kazuha's shoulder and chuckled:
"Hahaha, this guy sometimes gets very emotional, don't mind him."
"Hey!" Kazuha said, displeased.
Watching the two bicker, Yuuko said:
"But is this really okay? Once you do this, it's equivalent to becoming enemies with the Raiden Shogun."
Kazuha's Friend was silent for a moment, then chuckled:
"If anyone's to blame, it's that strange person wearing the yellow fox mask, for giving us this resolve."
"If it weren't for his act of saving someone in Tenshukaku Plaza back then, we might not have been able to take this step."
After a pause, Kazuha's Friend chuckled again:
"Moreover, the Raiden Shogun is not necessarily an unattainable existence. The Person Wearing the Yellow Fox Mask has proven this to us."
"I heard that person even broke into the Tenryou Commission's territory today and caused a huge commotion, even after the Raiden Shogun intervened."
"She couldn't do anything to him. Hahaha, he's truly a person to be admired!"
This news spread quickly... Yuuko chuckled awkwardly: "Is that so? Then please be careful."
Kazuha's Friend laughed heartily:
"Hahaha, thank you! Oh, right, I Have Seven Livers, I heard your new book is coming out soon?"
"Is it called 'Reincarnated as the Raiden Shogun, Getting Gay with Yae Miko'?"
"That title sounds quite exciting."
Yuuko retorted helplessly: "I Have Seven Livers is my pen name. My real name is Yuuko. What about you two?"
Kazuha spoke first: "My name is Kaedehara Kazuha, as for this one..."
Just as Kazuha was about to introduce his friend, Kazuha's Friend burst out laughing: "I am Kazuha's Friend."
"Is that so..." Yuuko rolled his eyes at Kazuha's Friend but didn't press further.
Afterward, Kazuha and Kazuha's Friend stood up, seemingly preparing to leave.
Kazuha's Friend even familiarly patted Yuuko's shoulder:
"Well then, great writer, we'll be going now. You must keep today's matters a secret, okay?"
Yuuko said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't say anything."
Kazuha laughed heartily:
"Great writer, you should also be careful. Even though you don't have a Vision."
"But those people from the Tenryou Commission are quite unreasonable. They might find some random excuse to deal with you if they don't like you one day."
"Oh, right, if you ever suffer unfair treatment from the Tenryou Commission, come find me and Kazuha!"
"As for Reward, just let me see your new book, 'Reincarnated as the Raiden Shogun, Getting Gay with Yae Miko'!"
Yuuko chuckled awkwardly: "I will. Since you two plan to oppose the Vision Hunt Decree, please be careful."
And so, Kazuha and Kazuha's Friend departed.
After the two left, Sayu, who had been silent, softly said:
"They're really... strange people... And they actually have the courage to oppose the Raiden Shogun... even though the Raiden Shogun is very scary..."
Yuuko smiled:
"Indeed. But isn't this the current situation in Inazuma? Most people are dissatisfied with the Raiden Shogun's new decree.
Once these people gather courage, many shining individuals like Kazuha and Kazuha's Friend will appear."
Sayu nodded, half-understanding: "Yes."
Yuuko smiled and patted Sayu's head, then his expression turned serious again:
"Thanks to Kazuha and Kazuha's Friend, I know what to do next."
Sayu's small mouth dropped open in surprise as she looked at Yuuko: "Lord Yuuko intends to..."
"I... plan to go to Watatsumi Island and make contact with the resistance there."
"Uh..."
Seeing Sayu's puzzled look, Yuuko patted her head again and explained:
"Seeing people like Kazuha and Kazuha's Friend, I started thinking, what would that constantly hiding deity think if more and more people in Inazuma dared to resist the Raiden Shogun in the future?
And would she regret issuing a decree like the Vision Hunt Decree?
When that deity's heart wavers, that's when she'll be willing to see me."
Sayu said worriedly: "But... contacting the resistance... is very dangerous... and it's easy to be exposed..."
Yuuko chuckled: "Haha, thank you for your concern, Sayu. But don't worry, I'll contact the resistance under another identity, so it won't affect my current status in Inazuma."
The other identity, of course, referred to Yellow Fox.
After speaking, Yuuko asked again:
"So, Sayu, for a while, I'll probably have to leave Inazuma City and go to Watatsumi Island. Will you come with me?"
Hearing this question, Sayu blinked her listless eyes before saying:
"Mmm... Sayu will stay by Lord Yuuko's side... because... it's a mission..."
"That mission to protect me? Although I don't know who sent you to protect me, Sayu should be very clear by now that I don't need protection, right?"
"Mmm..." For some reason, Sayu turned her face away at this moment, her small cheeks tinged with a slight blush.
In fact, Sayu also knew that Yuuko didn't need her protection at all.
It would even be normal for the roles to be reversed.
The reason she wanted to follow Yuuko was purely out of her own feelings.
Even Sayu didn't know why, she just wanted to act with Yuuko... Yuuko, who didn't understand why Sayu suddenly turned her head away, scratched his head and didn't delve deeper into the topic. Instead, he said:
"All in all, let's fill our stomachs first, then rest tonight, and we'll depart tomorrow."
"Mmm..." Sayu nodded weakly, still not daring to face Yuuko.
Because her face was still very red.
And so, Yuuko and Sayu happily ate a meal at this very secluded ramen shop.
