Yuuko looked at Kujou Sara's determined expression, remained silent for a moment, and then asked:
"So, are you planning to join the resistance?"
Kujou Sara nodded, then sighed:
"However, given my identity, that's impossible, so... I will just assist them in secret."
"Is that so." Yuuko thought for a moment, then smiled: "Then I wish you luck."
Whatever Kujou Sara decided to do, it wouldn't affect Yuuko.
But if even a loyal person like Kujou Sara has switched sides, it means the Tenryou Commission is truly beyond saving.
Yuuko was just about to say goodbye to Kujou Sara and go home to play with Sayu.
However, Kujou Sara called out to him again:
"What about you? Why did you leave Inazuma City and come to live in a place like this?"
"You don't have a Vision, do you? You shouldn't be affected by the Vision Hunt Decree."
Hearing this question, Yuuko shook his head:
"It has nothing to do with whether or not I have a Vision. Besides, during this time, does not having a Vision mean you won't be affected?"
"Perhaps you don't know how rampant the Tenryou Commission's recent actions have been?"
"Otherwise, why would so many people in Inazuma flee here?"
"Is that so..." Hearing this, Kujou Sara sighed softly.
Of course, she knew about the Tenryou Commission's evil deeds; otherwise, she wouldn't have left them.
Afterward, Kujou Sara turned around:
"In any case, thank you for what happened just now. If you ever need help, come find me."
After speaking, Kujou Sara walked toward the house she had just been assigned.
Watching Kujou Sara's retreating figure, Yuuko muttered softly:
"Even Kujou Sara has come over to this side? It must almost be time to attack."
Yuuko had already been living in Higi Village for several days.
Logically speaking, this period should have been enough for the resistance to recruit sufficient troops.
In that case, it must be time to launch an attack on the Shogunate Army... Watatsumi Island, Sangonomiya Shrine.
Gorou, the general of the resistance, was training the captains of the various resistance squads under his command, as usual.
During this period, as more and more people were recruited.
The ranks of the resistance grew stronger.
Therefore, during this time, Gorou and the squad captains were busy training new recruits daily.
However, once these new recruits finished their training.
That would be the best time to attack the Shogunate Army!
Because now is when morale is highest!
Just as Gorou was training the captains of the various detachments, Sangonomiya Kokomi, the leader of the resistance, walked over:
"Gorou, how are the teams doing? Is the training for the new recruits going well?"
Sangonomiya Kokomi's arrival caused Gorou to halt the training:
"Ah, Lady Sangonomiya. All the captains of the small detachments have been finalized; they are all very capable people. As for the new recruits, their training is almost complete!"
"Is that so, Gorou? You've worked hard." Sangonomiya Kokomi smiled.
"No, no, this is just what we should be doing." Gorou shook his head, his tail wagging along with it.
Sangonomiya Kokomi smiled again, then fell into contemplation, muttering softly:
"Recently, our troop strength has been replenished to a sufficient level."
"Furthermore... someone has been secretly providing us with supplies, and we haven't been able to find out who is behind it."
"Right now, we have plenty of manpower and supplies."
"Is it time to attack the Shogunate Army now?"
"However, the Shogunate Army hasn't made any moves yet, which is truly strange."
Just as Sangonomiya Kokomi was still pondering.
Gorou, who was nearby, suddenly spoke up:
"Lady Sangonomiya, I think our military preparations and personnel are almost ready. It's time to attack the Shogunate Army."
Sangonomiya Kokomi smiled: "That's right. We've prepared for so long; it's time to bring this to an end."
After speaking, Sangonomiya Kokomi's expression turned serious, and she sternly addressed Gorou:
"In three days, we march on Kannazuka Island! Our goal is to crush the Shogunate Army's garrison camp there!"
...Inazuma, Kujou Clan.
Kujou Takayuki, the head of the Kujou Clan and the leader of the Tenryou Commission.
Was currently roaring in frustrated rage inside his room.
The reason was that his most trusted subordinate had defected.
Kujou Sara's betrayal made the Kujou Clan, already lacking Fatui support, even more vulnerable.
After a moment, a knock suddenly came from outside.
Only then did Kujou Takayuki suppress the anger on his face and say in a deep voice, "Come in."
After the door opened, a Tenryou Commission soldier walked in and knelt on one knee before Kujou Takayuki:
"Lord Kujou, we sent people to search Inazuma City and the surrounding areas, but we still haven't found Kujou L... Sara."
Hearing this, Kujou Takayuki said coldly: "Keep searching! You must find that traitor! I want her alive or dead!"
The soldier who came in to report trembled slightly, but instead of leaving immediately, he mustered his courage and asked:
"Lord Kujou, did Kujou Sara... truly betray the Tenryou Commission and betray Inazuma?"
"This subordinate feels that a loyal person like Kujou Sara shouldn't do such a thing..."
Hearing this, Kujou Takayuki stared coldly at the soldier:
"Are you speaking up for a traitor?"
The soldier trembled all over again and hurriedly said: "This subordinate dares not!"
"Then send people to continue the search!"
"Yes, sir!" The soldier responded, but did not stand up and leave.
"What is it? Do you have anything else?"
The soldier hesitated for a moment before looking up and saying:
"Lord Kujou, the resistance has been particularly active recently, and because people are constantly fleeing there, their military strength is growing stronger."
"If they launch an attack, the Shogunate Army garrisoned on Kannazuka Island might not be able to stop them..."
"If Kannazuka Island falls..."
These words made Kujou Takayuki's expression even gloomier.
He said coldly: "I know! You may withdraw now. I will handle this matter."
"Yes, sir!" After responding, the soldier stood up and left.
After the soldier left, Kujou Takayuki returned to his chair, resting his chin in his hands, his expression deeply somber.
Without a doubt, if the Shogunate Army were defeated by the resistance.
The Kujou Clan would also face utter ruin.
And because of the incident where Yellow Fox single-handedly defeated a thousand troops, the Shogunate Army's morale is now at an all-time low.
Kujou Sara, the Shogunate Army's capable general, has also defected and disappeared.
If the resistance attacked now, the Shogunate Army would genuinely struggle to hold the line.
If they couldn't hold the line, regardless of what happened to Inazuma afterward, the Kujou Clan, which managed the Tenryou Commission, certainly wouldn't have a good ending.
After long contemplation, a look of ruthlessness appeared on Kujou Takayuki's face.
He left his room, left the Kujou Clan estate, and walked toward the Tenshukaku, the highest point in Inazuma City...
