"I don't know. The first mate was very cautious. The boy they rescued seemed to have a grudge against the shogunate. So after knowing Thomas's general background, he didn't reveal too much information about the boy."
This is also one of the reasons why Kamisato Ayato did not submit this clue along with other information.
Compared with other accurate intelligence, this clue is too vague.
If Yae Shinto hadn't cared too much about the Southern Cross Fleet, he would never have revealed this clue.
At least we have to wait until it is verified before sending it to the Eightfold Divine Son.
"Do you have a grudge against the shogunate..."
Hearing what Kamisato Ayato said, Yae Kamiko recalled the hatred in the other person's eyes when they first met.
The look in his eyes that seemed to want to eat the other person alive could indeed be said to be a grudge against the shogunate, and a deep hatred at that.
When she thought of this, she felt a little relieved.
"Continue to follow up on the investigation and keep me informed of any developments."
"Yes, Lord Palace Administrator."
If it were an ordinary person, he would have given up the investigation by now.
Because so much information is enough to prove that Bai Luo is not lying.
But compared to ordinary people, Yae Shinko has to be more cautious. After all, she has done similar immoral things before.
It is better to be safe than sorry.
The other side.
Unlike what Bai Luo had imagined, Yaedo was not as noisy as he had imagined. Instead, it was quieter and more peaceful than other places.
"Your name is Sora, right?"
After a sigh, she put the thick book in her arms on the ground. The female clerk who had been receiving Bai Luo and Yae Shenzi at the front desk moved her shoulders and asked him.
"Yes, senior."
Bai Luo tactfully helped pick up the books on the ground and responded.
He often did this kind of thing when he first joined the Fatui.
If you build good relationships with your “seniors”, you will never suffer any loss no matter where you are.
"My name is Rika, I'm a part-time employee at Yaedou, if you need any help, feel free to come to me."
Lixiang was very pleased with Bai Luo's "sensible" behavior. She patted Bai Luo on the shoulder and said in a tone of "I'll protect you".
However, I don’t know if it’s because the kimono is too loose. No matter how Bai Luo looks at it, if the other party wants to cover him, it will be extremely difficult.
Although Li Xiang cannot be called a saint, she is good enough to be given a good guy card.
Flat, but not too flat.
At least there are ups and downs.
"Miss Yamaguchi has already told you about the specific prohibited matters, right?"
Lixiang almost let the cat out of the bag, but she changed her words in time.
However, being called Miss Eighth Grade almost made Bai Luo laugh out loud.
"Well, basically I just briefly mentioned them."
Bai Luo nodded and said.
But the so-called prohibited things she mentioned were nothing.
If Bai Luo wanted to do something, the so-called prohibitions would be just a pile of useless waste paper to him.
"It's not enough to just mention it briefly. There are some things here that Miss Yae doesn't know!"
Hearing Bai Luo's words, Lixiang stopped and said, pinching her waist.
She seemed to do this kind of "new member joining ceremony" very often, and she was very skilled at introducing it.
"Then may I ask Miss Rika, are there any other rules in our Yaedo?"
Hearing that there are some things that even the Eightfold God's Son doesn't know, Bai Luo immediately became interested.
You know, these things can become the material for him to have fun with the other person later.
"Put your things here first and follow me."
Lixiang didn't say what it was, but took the thick stack of books from Bai Luo's hand and temporarily placed it on the windowsill next to her.
Afterwards, she took Bai Luo to a room closer to the inside.
"This seems to be the place where the ritual supplies are stored, right?"
Looking at the room, Bai Luo asked.
When Yae Shinto introduced him to the internal situation of Yae Hall, he had briefly mentioned this place.
"That's right."
After reaching out and pushing open the door, Lixiang walked in first.
Bai Luo took a curious look inside and found that this so-called place for storing ritual supplies was actually a dressing room.
All kinds of clothes were hung neatly on special hangers, covering the walls of the house.
These clothes include all kinds of styles from all over the world.
For example, the clothes hanging in the most conspicuous place are obviously a Liyue-style outfit.
However, it was different from the tight-fitting outfits Bai Luo had seen before. It looked more gorgeous and the style was more exaggerated.
It looks like a costume for a performance.
"These clothes are used for role-playing and are usually used during festivals, events, and anniversaries."
Picking up a set of shrine maiden costumes hanging nearby, Rika tried it on herself to compare and spoke out.
This set of shrine maiden costume looks similar to the shrine maiden costume of Narukami Taisha Shrine, but it has also been modified so that the difference between the two can be seen at a glance.
It should be to avoid suspicion.
"So why is this a no-go area?"
Looking at the bard-like costume next to him, Bai Luo reached out and took it off, then asked Lixiang.
"Because this is basically only used by female employees, it's considered a women's locker room. If you accidentally run into a senior changing clothes here, you'll definitely be feasting your eyes. By the way, everyone changes clothes around 6pm. If you want to come, try to come in before 5:30pm, otherwise you'll be caught and beaten up."
She was clearly reminding Bai Luo that he shouldn't come in here casually, but no matter how you look at it... she seemed to be instructing Bai Luo on when to come over.
Tsk... If it weren't for the fact that Lixiang in front of him clearly did not have the mark he had made on her body, Bai Luo would have really thought that this guy might be the Son of God in disguise.
It smells too much like a fox.
"No matter what, it's a bit unreasonable to do something like this right after coming in, right?"
"That's true, but once the novelty wears off, white flesh won't be tempting at all. Are you sure you don't want to do it sooner rather than later?"
"I'm not that hungry yet..."
As expected, whether it's Yae Miko, Kuroda, or Rika
Including himself.
None of those who can enter Yaedo are normal people.
Chapter 943 What are your specialties
"By the way, what does role-playing mean?"
Bai Luo asked while fiddling with the bard's clothes in his hands.
This actually highlights his seriousness in paying attention to some small details.
As a scout knight of Mondstadt, it was normal for him to subconsciously pick up this piece of clothing that was inextricably linked to Mondstadt.
"To put it simply, it means dressing up as a character from a light novel and promoting it at some events or festivals. It can be considered a sales promotion method. Of course... you can also wear this dress in private to add some romance to your boring life."
Facing Bai Luo's curiosity, Lixiang answered patiently.
But the last sentence... ...seems a bit strange, right
Forget it. Never mind.
Doesn't he know what role-playing means
Of course not, he knows better than anyone what role-playing is.
He asked this question because he actually had his own little thoughts.
As the author of "My Thunder God Can't Be That Cute", he was given a sample copy when the light novel was first released.
So he remembered very clearly that the shrine maiden costume in Rika's hand was actually the same costume worn by Yae Sakurako on the cover.
so
"Then Ms. Rika, which role do you play with the miko costume in your hand?"
Unintentionally, Bai Luo set a trap for her and the subsequent Eightfold Son of God.
If Yae Shinko had not given her the gospel before, her answer would be
"Of course it's Yae Sakurako from My Thunder God Can't Be This Cute, which is Inazuma's best-selling light novel."
Picking up the pink fake fox ears next to her, Lixiang put them on her head and said as a matter of course.
It's obvious that she loves this outfit and this role.
"Eh? Really? But Miss Yae said her name is Yae Sakurako."
"... ..."
The smile on his face gradually froze, and beads of sweat the size of beans began to flow from his forehead.
Rika never imagined that her own chief priest would give her the name of the protagonist of Inazuma's best-selling light novel.
In fact, it cannot be said that Yaezakami made a mistake here.
In her opinion, as a scout knight of the Mondstadt Knights of Favonius, [Sora] should not have read this light novel.
Besides... ...she didn't think that the little guy would be willing to read this type of light novel.
As a knight, he should prefer themes such as chivalry, adventure and passion.
But what she didn't realize was that, just like you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, no matter how defensive she is, she can't guard against someone who deliberately wants to cause trouble.
For example, Bai Luo.
"I'll have to let Miss Yae explain this to you personally. After all, the name was given by the Lord Palace Master himself. Perhaps the Lord Palace Master also likes this name?"
Lixiang's reaction was also quick, but she did not give a definite answer because she did not know what kind of "personality" the palace chief had given her.
Perhaps doing so would earn me special "care" from the Palace Master for a long time, but it was worse than ruining her mood and eating that strange fruit.
Just be taken care of.
She never wanted to experience that feeling again, of losing consciousness in an instant and opening her eyes days later.
“I see.”
With an expression of sudden enlightenment, Bai Luo accepted this statement faster than Lixiang had imagined.
This also made her feel relieved.
It seems like I got away with it.
"Okay, let's end the introduction here. We still have to deliver the book to the front desk."
At this point, Li Xiang no longer had the heart to tease this newcomer. She just wanted to take him away quickly to prevent him from asking more questions.
Maybe it was because she felt guilty, but after coming out, she didn't ask Bai Luo to move all the books. Instead, she took the initiative to help him share the burden.
"Speaking of which, if I stay here, what should I do?"
Looking at the other person's absent-minded look and slightly wandering eyes, Bai Luo asked.
It's like having some snacks to whet your appetite before a main meal.
The pear fragrance now is Bai Luo’s appetizer.
