Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: How Does He Know My Secret?

Let alone the missing Kaedehara Manye, Bai Luo's life is getting better and better.

With the release of the second volume of "My Raiden Shogun Can't Be That Cute", Inazuma Castle, which was originally a little heavy due to the Battousai incident, was detonated again.

No one expected that this masterpiece would have a second volume.

And with the appearance of more new characters, such as Miss Shiraha who hides her identity as a young lady and shows another different side, and the mysterious beautiful girl who makes friends with her pen and goes by the pen name "Sole of the Deep", this book has become more and more exciting.

And some people have gradually discovered some clues.

For example...

Gorou.

As a general of the Rebels, he is born with a beast-like fighting instinct and tenacious will.

The Rebel Army was able to compete with the shogunate army when they were not superior in materials and armaments. In addition to the strategy of Sangonomiya Kokomi, Gorou's contribution was the greatest.

If Kujou Sara, the active general of the Tenryou Commission, who is known for her ruthlessness and efficiency, then Gorou is the exact opposite.

It may be difficult for outsiders to imagine that Gorou, who is invincible on the battlefield, is like a close brother in private and can get along well with every subordinate.

If he has any shortcomings... it should be considered that his mind is unstable.

War is cruel. Compared with those veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield for decades, Gorou's experience in battle is indeed slightly insufficient. Sometimes he even gets too excited and makes some irrational judgments.

However, in the battle with the shogunate army, he is also overcoming this shortcoming.

He hurried back from the front line, and his face was not very good.

Because an important person in their army was missing.

There are many rumors about Kaedehara Kazuha in the outside world, but some of them are really true.

In the battle of Nazuchi Beach, the warship that Kaedehara Kazuha was on was taken special care of and eventually sunk.

Although Gorou specially sent his men who were good at water to rescue him after the war, according to the rescue results of these men, he should have drifted to the open sea with the wreckage of the ship.

The land of Inazuma is surrounded by endless thunderstorms.

If he drifted into the thunderstorm with the waves, it would be impossible for him to come back alive.

Due to the influence of the duel in front of the throne, Kaedehara Kazuha's name itself has a different meaning. Gorou feels that he needs to report this matter to the Divine Priestess of Watatsumi, Sangonomiya Kokomi.

But...

Looking at Sangonomiya Kokomi sitting at the desk in a daze, Gorou doesn't know whether he should disturb her.

With a casual glance, he saw the book on the other's desk.

Unlike her favorite military book, this book looks more like a light book published by Yae Publishing House.

"This is not..."

With such a casual glance, he really recognized the book.

Unlike Inazuma Castle, since they are hostile forces, even if there are brave people from Inazuma from time to time who trade with them, the trade is limited to groceries and food.

Things like lightnovel are not within the scope of trading.

So this book is the only genuine copy in the entire Watatsumi Island.

But Watatsumi Island is not without a solution.

Although Yae Publishing House strictly prohibits the production of hand-copied lightnovel, Inazuma's decree obviously does not apply to Watatsumi Island.

Therefore, the handwritten copies of this book are also extremely popular in Watatsumi Island.

Even paper vendors are making a lot of money.

If it weren't for Sangonomiya Kokomi's order not to raise prices without reason, he would definitely them a lesson, so that they stop using the excuse that Luoyang Paper is expensive.

"Gorou is back."

Gorou's reaction also made Sangonomiya Kokomi react in a daze.

She put away the lightnovel calmly and returned to her former confident and elegant appearance.

"Lady Kokomi, I'm sorry that I was incompetent and ultimately failed to rescue Mr. Kaedehara."

When Gorou said this, his ears drooped.

He respected Kaedehara Kazuha from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone had seen how much he had helped the rebels, and his disappearance was a big blow to Gorou.

"Don't worry about Mr. Kaedehara, he's been rescued."

In fact, after Beidou's fleet rescued Kaedehara Kazuha, they used a special method to contact Watatsumi Island.

Sangonomiya Kokomi had originally planned to send someone to inform Gorou, but she didn't expect that he had already returned.

"Where is he?"

This might be one of the few good news in recent days, right? Gorou's previous disappointment was also swept away.

Next time, he would not dare to rashly arrange the other party to a more dangerous place.

"He is in a very safe place now."

Looking up, Sangonomiya Kokomi looked in the direction of Liyue.

She had already talked to the other party. Since the other party wanted to stay in that fleet, she did not force him.

Just as she had promised the other party, the rebels welcomed his arrival at any time, and would not force him to stay if he wanted to leave.

"...I know."

The rebels could not keep him, and Gorou knew it better than anyone.

He was a free and easy person, just like the wind, he could be attached to a fallen leaf, but he would never admire a mountain forest for a long time.

"Okay, separation is for the next meeting. His roots are in the land of Inazuma. As long as the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree are not abolished, he will come back eventually."

Sangonomiya Kokomi comforted him and picked up a small box next to her.

She prepared a lot of such boxes, which contained some tips and tricks she had specially written down.

Gorou will know how to use them.

After sending Gorou away, Sangonomiya Kokomi's eyes stayed on the light novel, which she placed beside her.

As a fan of lightnovels, when she first came into contact with this book, she directly labeled it a masterpiece.

It is even higher than the status of "The Legend of the Sword".

And... she vaguely saw the extraordinaryness of this book.

Those seemingly fictional plots are vaguely related to reality.

From this book, she analyzed a lot of useful information.

And this information was soon confirmed to be true.

So when the second volume began to be sold, she deliberately asked her men to risk their lives to purchase a copy from Yae Publishing House.

It would be better if she didn't read it, but she was scared when she saw it.

Sole of the Deep...

This is her pen name!

As the [Current Divine Priestess] of the Sangonomiya Shrine of Watatsumi Island and the current supreme leader of the Resistance Army, she also has little secrets that are unknown to others.

For example, she prefers to read lightnovels.

Sometimes she would submit articles to Yae Publishing House, or correspond with some like-minded people.

The name Sangonomiya Kokomi naturally could not appear in those letters, so the "Sole of the Deep" became her pen name.

But this matter, in the entire Watatsumi... no, or in the entire land of Inazuma, no one else knew about it.

So how did this guy know my pen name, and was so familiar with me?
