"Feng Yi, I need to be alone to think about countermeasures for this matter..."
Kokomi took out paper and pen, frowning, and began to rack her brain, constructing the situation encountered during the simulated peace talks.
After comprehensively considering all possible situations and thinking of corresponding countermeasures one by one.
Half an hour later, Kokomi had written dozens of emergency response plans, which she put into a brocade pouch as a last resort.
"Instead of passively responding, it's better to take the initiative!"
Kokomi disliked being passive. There were still two days until the peace talks, and there was enough time. She decided to intervene in advance. If the crisis could be resolved before the peace talks, that would be ideal.
"Feng Yi, I'm going out for a walk. Do you want to come?"
Kokomi stood up, smiled at Feng Yi, and invited him.
"Okay, Kokomi. I've completed the task you gave me. Don't forget what you promised me!"
Feng Yi subtly reminded her, as he was eagerly anticipating the massage service in the evening.
"Huh? What did I promise?"
Kokomi was so focused on how to handle the peace talks that she couldn't immediately recall Feng Yi's mention of an agreement.
"Huh? You promised me before that if I helped you investigate the soldiers' situation, you'd give me a massage tonight. I've completed my task, so you can't go back on your word!"
Feng Yi's eyelids twitched. Was Kokomi going to abandon him after he was no longer useful?
"Are you looking forward to it?"
Kokomi was startled at first, then immediately reacted and smiled wryly.
She hadn't forgotten about it at all; she just hadn't reacted immediately.
Feng Yi's stubborn denial piqued Kokomi's interest, and she decided to tease him.
"How could I? I just think it's what I deserve. It's reasonable to receive compensation after hard work, isn't it?"
"Yes, that makes sense. But you don't seem very willing. How about we convert it to Mora?"
Kokomi's lips curved into a smile, her beautiful eyes fixed on Feng Yi, curving into crescent moons.
"Oh, don't! Who says I'm not willing? I'm very willing, a hundred times willing. That's what we agreed on from the start, Kokomi, you can't go back on your word!"
Feng Yi immediately became anxious upon hearing this. Was he short on Mora?
Could Mora buy Kokomi's massage service? If it could, Feng Yi would want to renew his subscription indefinitely!
"So that's how it is. Don't worry, the massage tonight will definitely not disappoint you!"
Kokomi looked at Feng Yi's anxious and uneasy appearance with great satisfaction.
The more Feng Yi looked forward to the massage tonight, the happier Kokomi felt.
Seeing that Kokomi had 'changed her mind,' Feng Yi finally relaxed and went out for a walk with her.
Kokomi seemed to be wandering aimlessly, leading Feng Yi to a small village.
Watatsumi Village.
Before even entering the village, Feng Yi and Kokomi could hear an argument.
"Quick, call for reinforcements and arrest these people! They must be spies sent by the Tenryou Commission!"
"These guys have unpleasant expressions and look shifty. They must be bad people!"
Kokomi could tell that the two speaking were soldiers of the resistance army.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you not judge people by their appearance? This demeanor of mine is called unrestrained and bold, how can it be shifty? You guys really don't know how to appreciate things. Get out of the way, I don't want to fight. Don't be ungrateful..."
As Feng Yi was walking towards the village, he suddenly heard a familiar voice and couldn't help but stop. He couldn't figure out why Arataki Itto would be here.
Shouldn't he be working at the Choo-Choo shuttle at this hour?
Did this guy skip work?
This is outrageous!
Deduct his salary! Deduct his salary!
As an employer, he deeply detested employees skipping work.
"If you don't move, I won't be polite!"
Arataki Itto stretched his joints, then pulled out his large club, his eyes impatiently scanning the resistance soldiers blocking his way.
"How dare you! This is Watatsumi Island. Do you dare to make a move? Unless you want to reignite the war between Watatsumi Island and the Tenryou Commission!"
Despite the immense pressure from Arataki Itto, the Sangonomiya soldiers, who desperately wanted to turn and run, couldn't help but warn him fiercely, thinking of their comrades and villagers watching.
"Boss, hold on! Don't act rashly at this moment!"
Kuki Shinobu quickly advised, as they were not here to fight.
"No, I can't hold back!"
Arataki Itto looked at the garrulous Sangonomiya soldier and felt uncomfortable if he didn't do something.
"You... don't come closer!"
The Sangonomiya soldier, seeing the large club swinging towards him, was so scared that his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Stop!"
Kokomi, seeing someone making a move on Watatsumi Island's territory, quickly shouted to stop them.
"Lady Sangonomiya! It's Lady Sangonomiya! You will pay the price for your actions just now!"
The soldier who had been scared to the ground heard Kokomi's voice and was overjoyed, feeling like he had escaped a desperate situation.
"This is troublesome..."
Kuki Shinobu sighed helplessly as she watched Sangonomiya Kokomi approaching quickly. The originally simple matter had now become difficult.
"What's going on? What happened here?"
Kokomi arrived in front of them, her gaze sweeping over everyone, and asked with a frown.
"Reporting to Lady Sangonomiya, these people are acting suspiciously and are suspected to be spies sent by the Tenryou Commission. After we captured them, they still tried to make a move. It's a good thing you arrived in time..."
The soldier who had been scared to the ground by Arataki Itto stood up and indignantly told Lady Sangonomiya.
Kokomi then shifted her gaze to Arataki Itto and his group, preparing to hear their side of the story.
Although she was the leader of Watatsumi Island, and should naturally lean towards Watatsumi Island, she would not make a hasty decision before the matter was clarified.
"Boss Feng Yi, why are you here? This is perfect. Please help us prove that after spending so much time together, you must know that our Arataki Gang brothers are passionate good fellows who help others and have no ill intentions..."
Arataki Itto noticed that Boss Feng Yi was also here and quickly called out for help, hoping that Boss Feng Yi could prove his upright character.
Although he often won snacks from children, it was all done honorably and did not affect his heroic and unrestrained image.
As if remembering something, Arataki Itto subtly put away the large club in his hand, then looked at Boss Feng Yi with expectant eyes.
Arataki Itto felt that as friends, or as an employer and employee, Boss Feng Yi would not abandon them, right?
"Feng Yi, do you know them?"
