Chapter 253: Ch 253 : Kokomi’s suggestion

In the main hall of Sangonomiya, Su Yuan and Aether met with Kokomi and Gorou.

After briefly explaining the existence of the Eerie forces and the current situation on Narukami Island, Kokomi nodded and spoke:

"So that refugee’s immense strength was due to the power of the Eerie?"

"Has Narukami Island returned to normal now? Was the Shogun puppet’s decision influenced by Dottore’s manipulation?"

"Yes," Su Yuan nodded and continued, "And according to intelligence, Dottore may have planted a large number of biological weapons throughout the entirety of Inazuma. Since Watatsumi Island is part of Inazuma, naturally it won’t be spared either."

"I understand. As soon as you told me about this intelligence, I already ordered my people to begin investigating any possible hidden threats on Watatsumi Island," Kokomi replied.

"So Kokomi, what do you think we should do next?" Aether asked.

"It’s simple. Leave Inazuma."

Kokomi replied calmly:

"Although these words may sound hurtful, it’s the truth."

"The Wanderer’s target is the Traveler, and Dottore’s target is Su Yuan..."

"It’s precisely because of your presence—and theirs—that Inazuma is now in such turmoil."

"Now that the issue with the Raiden Shogun has been resolved, Narukami Island will gradually return to its proper path..."

"The only remaining source of instability and unrest in Inazuma... is you two."

"Lady Kokomi, aren’t your words a bit too heartless?"

Gorou, who had been standing to the side, couldn’t stay silent any longer and spoke up:

"The Traveler helped us on Narukami Island more times than I can count. He’s also the captain of the Swordfish II squad. Now that he’s in danger, if we don’t protect him—if we don’t fight alongside him—doesn’t that feel a little dishonorable?"

"Surely with your wisdom, Lady Kokomi, there must be some way to respond to this situation?"

"It’s precisely because I’ve considered so many possibilities and weighed every angle that I believe the best option is for the Traveler and Su Yuan to leave Inazuma," Kokomi responded calmly.

"At this moment, we simply aren’t qualified to fight beside them. In fact, we’d only be a burden."

"Most of us don’t even have the ability to protect ourselves. If the Wanderer or Dottore were to use our lives to threaten Su Yuan or the Traveler—how would you expect them to choose?"

Su Yuan couldn’t help but agree that Kokomi had a point.

Inazuma, for the most part, was no longer in chaos—the only remaining unstable elements were the Wanderer and Dottore...

And their ultimate goal... was himself and Aether.

If he and Aether weren’t in Inazuma, chances were the others would follow them and leave as well...

Su Yuan understood clearly now — the reason they were all in such a passive position was, in the end, because they lacked a truly overwhelming force.

The Wanderer and Dottore came and went as they pleased...

If the Eerie version of Neuvillette were here, just a single command — "Kneel" — and who would dare move an inch?

"Aether, maybe we really should leave Inazuma..."

Su Yuan turned to Aether and said:

"Just as Kokomi mentioned, the root of Inazuma’s current turmoil is the Wanderer and Dottore..."

"But the direct cause... is us."

"Raiden Ei has already regained control over the Shogun puppet. Under her leadership, Inazuma should return to stability soon..."

"But... even so, there are still many unresolved matters in Inazuma..."

"Especially, why did Yae Miko lose her power and revert into a little fox?"

"What?! That woman—Yae Miko, the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine and chief editor of the Yae Publishing House—she actually lost her powers and turned back into a little fox???"

Hearing Aether say this, Gorou showed an expression of utter shock...

But beneath that shock, there was also a trace of barely concealed delight...

"Gorou, what’s going on with you? Why do I feel like... you’re kind of happy about this?" Paimon asked.

"Paimon—ah? Y-You noticed that?"

Gorou’s face flushed red as he seemed a little embarrassed and said:

"Usually, I’ve always been toyed with by that woman Yae Miko, made a laughingstock more times than I can count..."

"Now that I hear she’s lost her powers, I was thinking maybe I could finally overcome my fear of her and take revenge for all that humiliation..."

"But on second thought, taking advantage of someone’s misfortune... that’s not the way of a true gentleman. So I guess I’ll just let it go."

"Lady Kokomi, now that Narukami Island and Inazuma City have apparently regained peace, I’d like to go there in person tomorrow to confirm the situation. If everything checks out, then we can start sending those refugees back home to Narukami Island."

Gorou added with a slightly sheepish grin, "Of course, I also have a little personal reason... I want to see just what kind of state that woman Yae Miko is in right now..."

"Of course, General Gorou."

Kokomi nodded in affirmation, then turned to Su Yuan and Aether and said:

"What I said earlier was merely a suggestion."

"Whether you choose to follow it is entirely up to you."

"But in any case, it’s already getting dark now, so let me first treat you to a simple meal!"

"Yay! Food time again!" Paimon clapped her hands in excitement.

Kokomi smiled and nodded at Paimon before continuing:

"Why don’t you all stay here at the Sangonomiya Shrine for the night? You can use this evening to think things over—there’s no rush to make a decision until tomorrow."

And so, under Kokomi’s warm hospitality, Su Yuan and the others enjoyed a delicious dinner.

After eating and drinking their fill and finishing their wash-up, Su Yuan and the others parted ways and each went to their own rooms, lying down on their beds.

Su Yuan thought about everything that had happened since leaving Fontaine and arriving in Inazuma.

He felt like a useless person...

Having lost his rewind ability and lacking any strong combat power, if it weren’t for the help of others, he would have been completely defeated long ago...

And after going through a rewind again today, Su Yuan felt physically exhausted...

This rewind was different from before—perhaps it caused even greater harm to his body...

He hoped that tomorrow’s rule intelligence prompt would provide him with some new guidance...

With that thought, Su Yuan drifted off to sleep...

Meanwhile, on the shore of Watatsumi Island, a small white snake swam out of the water onto the shore, then transformed into a fair-skinned man who slowly walked inland on Watatsumi Island...
