"You're saying... the Kujou clan has betrayed the Shogunate?!"
"Precisely, it seems you're not entirely dim-witted!"
Feng Yi chuckled. To approach the Raiden Shogun, the Shogunate soldiers guarding Tenshukaku were a nuisance. Therefore, winning over Kujou Sara was a necessary step.
"Absurd! Utterly ridiculous. The Three Commissions have served the Shogun since ancient times with unwavering loyalty. Ever since I was adopted by the Kujou clan, I've been exposed to their ways. Everyone in the Tenryou Commission is loyal to the Shogun, especially Lord Kujou Takayuki... His adoration for the 'Musou Isshin' surpasses anyone's. My reverence for the Shogun is not even a fraction of his. How could Lord Kujou possibly do anything detrimental to the Shogun?
Feng Yi, please retract your absurd claims. Otherwise, even with Shrine Maiden Yae protecting you, I won't let you off lightly!"
Kujou Sara stood up in anger, almost pointing a finger at Feng Yi's nose to curse him.
"Three days! Give me three days, and I will present all the evidence before you... A little fox once told me that people tend to believe what they want to believe. So, perhaps you've already suspected some things, but you just don't want to believe them!"
"Hmph, three days, you say? I will return then. But if I don't see any evidence by then..."
"If I cannot produce evidence, you can arrest me and throw me in jail. I will not resist in any way!"
"......"
Kujou Sara was instantly speechless. Feng Yi's words made it difficult for her not to imagine things.
"I will not arrest you, as long as you sincerely apologize to Lord Kujou for your baseless accusations against the Kujou clan!"
Although Kujou Sara desperately wanted to arrest Feng Yi and throw him in the Shogunate prison, considering his relationship with Shrine Maiden Yae, she made a slight concession.
"But if I do present evidence, proving that the Kujou clan has colluded with the Fatui to harm the people of Inazuma, what then?"
Feng Yi looked at Kujou Sara with a smile. Based on the game's storyline, he was ninety-nine percent sure. He had to get something good out of Kujou Sara!
"I... I will also be at your disposal, wagering the reputation of the Kujou clan and myself!"
Kujou Sara simply refused to believe that her clan head would betray the Shogun.
But what if, as Feng Yi said, the Kujou clan faced the Shogun's endless wrath? At that point, as a sinner, her status would be lower than a beggar on the street. What would it matter if Feng Yi had his way with her?
Afterward, Feng Yi removed his illusionary techniques.
"Ku... Kujou Sara?! What are you doing here?!"
Just then, Yoimiya, who had just returned from sending Master Masanori to the clinic for treatment, saw Kujou Sara of the Tenryou Commission at Feng Yi's Pupu Tea shop.
Could it be that their identities as they broke into the prison had been exposed?
Thinking of this, Yoimiya silently stood beside Feng Yi, looking at Kujou Sara warily, instinctively assuming a defensive posture.
"Heh, it was you who set off fireworks in the Shogunate prison to create chaos, wasn't it? But I don't have the energy to deal with you now. Consider yourself lucky... Feng Yi, I will be back in three days, farewell!"
Kujou Sara glanced at Yoimiya. Her mind unsettled by Feng Yi's words, she didn't have the energy to dwell on Yoimiya's disruption at the moment.
As Kujou Sara walked away, Yoimiya pouted her lips, making a face. She didn't understand how Kujou Sara had discovered their identities.
She also couldn't figure out why Kujou Sara, knowing they were the culprits, ignored them.
Just as Yoimiya was about to ask something, Feng Yi hastily dropped a sentence and turned to slip away.
This left Yoimiya with a belly full of questions, which she could only keep to herself for now. Seeing the customers coming and going at the tea shop, she proactively went to help.
Feng Yi rushed towards the Grand Narukami Shrine. Collecting evidence, of course, required the help of 'professionals'.
He needed to find Yae Miko and borrow Sayu's services again.
Having understood the situation, Yae Miko skillfully led Feng Yi to a secluded forest.
Beneath a large tree, they found Sayu, asleep like a plush toy.
"Little Sayu, wake up, I need your help with something..."
Yae Miko gently patted Sayu's plush toy and woke her up.
"Haa... snore... so sleepy... if I don't sleep enough... I won't grow tall..."
Sayu groggily opened her eyes, then seemed to shrink back several steps as if startled.
"Why... why you again?! What do you want this time? You're not going to disturb my sleep again, are you?"
"Congratulations, you're correct!"
Feng Yi also felt a bit ashamed. He had only disturbed Sayu not long ago, and now he was bothering her sleep again.
But since he had already made his bold claims, and for the sake of the bet, he had to shamelessly ask Sayu again. At worst, he could compensate Sayu later.
"Ah! How could this be?"
Sayu suddenly felt like the whole world was trying to prevent her from growing taller. Especially Feng Yi, who always woke her up when she was sleeping soundly.
However, with Shrine Maiden Yae present, Sayu dared not speak her mind.
"This... is the last time, okay? You can't disturb my sleep again from now on!"
Sayu yawned and held up a finger.
"I'll try my best, I'll try my best!"
Feng Yi couldn't guarantee such things.
"For outsiders, it's indeed difficult to get a clear picture of the Tenryou Commission's secrets. But the Three Commissions jointly assist the Shogun and have close interactions. It's likely that the other Commissions can more easily notice irregularities... Therefore, your old flame should be able to help you with this matter..."
Yae Miko said, with a hint of sourness in her tone.
"What old flame? Yae, what are you talking about? Once your menstrual period is over in a few days, I'll thank you properly!"
Yae's nonsensical ramblings gave Feng Yi a headache. Ever since she overheard him calling Kamisato Ayaka "wife" last time, she had been fixated on the matter.
To make Yae let go of this issue, he could only rely on his own strength to "persuade" her to sleep.
"Sayu, let's go. Sayu? Sayu!"
Feng Yi finished his chat with Yae Miko and was about to set off. But after calling her for a long time, he still didn't get a response from Sayu.
He turned around and saw that in just a few sentences, Sayu had fallen asleep again.
Even more absurdly, Sayu was still standing while asleep!
How to put it? Truly worthy of being Sayu!
"Huh? It's time to eat? I think I've finished my onigiri..."
Sayu groggily opened her eyes, rummaged through her pockets, and found that her food was gone.
For Sayu, onigiri was the most cost-effective. It was cheap and filling, and she didn't have to worry about waking up hungry in the middle of her sleep.
"Sayu, we need to go. After this is done, I'll treat you to a big meal, until you're full!"
