After dealing with the Shogunate Army, Yuuko turned to Gorou and said, "Take me to your resistance leader."
"Uh…" Gorou was slightly stunned, then fell silent.
Although Yuuko's appearance had helped their resistance repel the Shogunate Army just now,
Gorou was still uneasy about taking someone of unknown origin like Yuuko back with him.
After all, the resistance was very fragile right now; if any problem arose, it could fall apart directly.
Gorou couldn't afford such a risk.
Seeing Gorou's hesitation, Yuuko smiled:
"Don't worry, I won't harm you. Rather, I want to help your resistance, help you gather more people, and together fight our way to Inazuma City, to Tenshukaku."
These words made Gorou stunned again; he found himself increasingly unable to understand the thoughts of the person before him.
Just as Gorou was still contemplating, a charming voice suddenly came from behind the resistance:
"Oh my~ I wondered why there was such a big commotion. Turns out an old acquaintance has arrived~"
At some point, a voluptuous and enchanting figure walked out from behind the resistance.
It was… the chief priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine, Yae Miko.
Yae Miko's appearance made Gorou turn his head in surprise: "Lady Yae, is this an acquaintance of yours?"
Yae Miko bypassed the resistance soldiers and came to Yuuko and Gorou, chuckling:
"Not exactly an acquaintance. Speaking of which, your information is too slow. You actually don't recognize this famous Yellow Fox."
"Uh." Gorou awkwardly scratched his beast ears.
At this moment, Yae Miko chuckled again:
"Alright, alright, General Gorou, this person is trustworthy. Just take him back. I think Kokomi should be very interested in him too~"
"Alright… since Lady Yae says so, then I'll do as you say."
…And so, Yuuko followed the group towards Watatsumi Island.
Although encountering Yae Miko midway was quite surprising, as long as things went smoothly, it didn't matter.
As for Sayu, Yuuko had her hide in a secret place.
He would only return to find Sayu after meeting the resistance leader and confirming that the resistance leader was not problematic.
On the way to Watatsumi Island, Yuuko curiously looked at Yae Miko:
"Speaking of which, aren't you the chief priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine? Is it really alright for you to appear here with the resistance?"
"What if the Shogunate Army sees you? Your position doesn't allow you to stand with the resistance, does it?"
Yae Miko cunningly smiled:
"Oh my~ As long as they don't see me, isn't that fine? Anyway, I value my life dearly, so I can't possibly go to the battlefield."
After a pause, Yae Miko chuckled again:
"Let's not talk about that for now. What surprises me more is that Mr. Yellow Fox, you also plan to help the resistance. Do you have some scheme this time?"
Yuuko nodded: "We'll talk about such things later. I also have my own purpose for coming here."
Just as the two were conversing, Gorou, as their guide, probably out of too much curiosity, interjected into their conversation.
"Um, is Mr. Yellow Fox very powerful? It seems Lady Yae respects Mr. Yellow Fox a lot."
Yae Miko chuckled:
"Gorou, as a general of the resistance, your information is always so slow. You'll suffer losses in the future, you know~"
"This Mr. Yellow Fox previously forced his way into the Tenryou Commission's territory and directly injured the Snezhnayan envoy stationed there."
"He even managed to escape unscathed when the Raiden Shogun herself intervened."
Hearing this, Gorou took a deep breath, and a different light shone in his eyes.
After all, who here hadn't heard of the Raiden Shogun's prestige?
The Serpent God, once worshipped by the people of Watatsumi Island, had died at the hands of the Raiden Shogun.
The Musoujin Gorge on Yashiori Island still existed to this day.
Who hadn't heard of the might of the Musou no Hitotachi?
But now, someone was said to have forced their way into the Tenryou Commission's territory and even escaped unscathed after the Raiden Shogun intervened?
The pair of beast ears on Gorou's head instantly perked up.
Gorou finally understood why the Shogunate Army was so afraid the moment Yellow Fox appeared… Yuuko smiled and shook his head, changing the subject:
"Yae Miko, since you're here, it means you must have some plan, right?"
Yae Miko thought for a moment, then gave a wicked smile: "Hehe, I'm only here to clean up some messes Ei left behind, and incidentally, help the resistance."
"Messes?" Yuuko frowned slightly.
Yae Miko explained with a smile:
"Yellow Fox should know that there isn't just one Fatui Harbinger stationed in Inazuma, namely the Signora."
"If we're going to completely drive the Fatui out of Inazuma, we'll definitely have to deal with the remaining Harbinger as well."
Hearing this, Yuuko tentatively asked, "That Harbinger called 'Shabi'?"
"It's Balladeer." Yae Miko corrected him with a strange expression:
"That's right. At this stage, I only know that he's hiding on Yashiori Island and carrying out some mission in secret. So I came here to investigate him as well."
After speaking, Yae Miko sighed helplessly:
"But ah, such things are really quite dangerous~ If it weren't to quickly resolve these troublesome matters and prevent him from falling into danger, I wouldn't do such dangerous things~"
"Him?" Yuuko raised an eyebrow.
Yae Miko chuckled: "Nothing, just someone very important to me."
"Is that so." Yuuko nodded, not pressing further.
Afterward, the group continued their journey, passing through Yashiori Island, which didn't take long.
They arrived at the legendary island, Watatsumi Island.
This was the resistance's main base.
And the person Yuuko was going to meet was the leader of the resistance, also the Divine Priestess of the Sangonomiya Shrine, Sangonomiya Kokomi… Inazuma City, in a certain room of the Tenryou Commission.
As a general of the Tenryou Commission and the adopted daughter of the Kujou Clan,
Kujou Sara was, as always, worshipping the statue of the Almighty Shogun.
As for the so-called Almighty Shogun statue,
it was actually a human statue carved one-to-one according to the likeness of the God of Inazuma.
At this moment, a faint movement came from outside.
Kujou Sara immediately got up, covered the display case, concealing the Almighty Shogun statue.
Then she opened the door, walked out, and looked at the hurrying soldier, saying:
"What is it?"
The soldier knelt, reporting with a pale face:
"Lord Kujou, at the place where our Tenryou Commission soldiers clashed with the resistance, the one wearing the yellow fox mask appeared again. He helped the resistance and repelled our Tenryou Commission soldiers…"
Hearing this, Kujou Sara's expression changed for a moment. She said coldly:
"Understood. Go back and regroup, don't slack off. Afterward, I will lead you to attack again!"
"Yes!" Hearing that Kujou Sara would join the battlefield, the soldier was very excited.
After the soldier left.
Kujou Sara sighed softly:
"Yellow Fox… what exactly are you planning…"
"Are you planning to unite with the resistance to attack our Inazuma…?"
"Should I… really trust you…?"
Kujou Sara's expression was very complex.
