If Bai Luo hadn't guessed wrong, this cat should be the white cat he had forgotten at the training ground back then.
It's just that Bai Luo never expected it to still be alive, and living quite comfortably at that.
If Bai Luo hadn't guessed wrong, this cat must have been adopted by someone again; otherwise, after being in the wild for so long, its fur wouldn't have remained so clean. Someone must have groomed it.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at the nearby markers, because it's difficult for ordinary people to tame such a pet, and those capable of taming it should have been marked by Bai Luo.
To his surprise, he really did see someone he had marked nearby.
And that person was...
"Whoosh--"
Her wings retracting, Kujou Sara, dressed in combat attire and wearing geta, landed on a high branch, looking down at the person holding the Little Tanuki.
It's a pity that this combat outfit was still a bit conservative. From such a good angle, Bai Luo couldn't see anything, but the southern hemisphere, not covered by snow, appeared even rounder from this perspective.
Kujou Sara
She didn't reveal anything, yet she was more alluring than if she had revealed everything.
Should I say, as expected of miHoYo?
This size, somewhere between Ksenia and Hu Tao, is quite alluring.
"Bai Luo?"
Frowning slightly, Kujou Sara didn't expect to encounter such a dangerous person in this place.
That's right, a dangerous person.
According to the information she had, hadn't this guy left Inazuma long ago and gone to Liyue to harm the common people there? When did he return to Inazuma?
Also...
The little one he was holding looked somewhat familiar, seemingly a "professional" from the Yashiro Commission.
There's no mistake; she had also dealt with this little one before and had a deep impression of it.
Could the Yashiro Commission also...
"Long time no see, Sara."
Also on a tree trunk, also with dark wings.
If only Kujou Sara were half as lively as that Tengu Girl.
"This is a Shogunate stronghold. Please state your intentions, or I won't mind letting you spend a few days in jail."
Facing an old friend she hadn't seen in a long time, Kujou Sara didn't show any signs of that 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' feeling. This aggressive Aura...
Why does it look so familiar? Most importantly, that gaze, that resentful gaze.
"Uh... A misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Just now, we were being followed, and to shake them off, I just picked a random direction."
Bai Luo wasn't lying this time. After concealing his presence, he merely identified a direction and ran towards Narukami Island.
Now it seems he should have arrived near the Kujou Encampment.
He still didn't quite understand why Kujou Sara was looking at him with such eyes.
Could it be that the rumors he spread everywhere about a scandal with her had been exposed?
No, that's not right. Given her personality, if something like that had really happened, she would have directly taken action.
That's it!
Watching Kujou Sara jump in front of him and pick up the white cat on the ground, Bai Luo realized something.
This Kujou Sara, it seems, is a fan of his novel, "My Raiden Shogun can't be this cute," and one of the very few people who knew he wrote it.
In other words... her resentful gaze was more because he was out having fun and forgot to come back and update his novel.
Simply put... Kujou Sara was Bai Luo's Update Requester (update chaser).
"What's going on with this cat?"
Even though he realized this, Bai Luo continued to feign ignorance.
Updating is impossible; he'll never update in this lifetime.
Writing novels is not as fun as causing trouble.
No matter how hard he worked, that scoundrel fox at Yae Publishing House wouldn't feel bad for him.
In the end, she would always find various reasons to deduct his manuscript fees.
"Found it in a tree at the training ground. Since it was ownerless, I adopted it for now."
Glancing at Bai Luo, Kujou Sara didn't hide anything from him.
That young man had visited Bai Luo before challenging her to the Duel before the Emperor.
Bai Luo had even sought her out for his sake.
This was also one of the reasons why Kujou Sara went to demand an explanation as soon as the Duel before the Emperor ended.
In all of Inazuma City, only Bai Luo could have done such a thing.
And he just happened to know that young man.
If Bai Luo hadn't provided extremely strong evidence, she wouldn't have let the other party off so easily.
"I'm mainly surprised it would go with you."
Bai Luo still had some idea of how loyal this cat was.
If he hadn't been holding it back then, it probably would have died with its master under that Raiden village girl's Musou no Hitotachi.
...
Bai Luo's answer was a long silence.
Kujou Sara, of course, knew how stubborn this cat was, and it had taken her a lot of effort to earn its recognition.
"Is this Kujou Encampment currently under your charge?"
Seeing Kujou Sara petting the cat, Bai Luo couldn't help but pet the Little Tanuki in his hands.
Looking at it this way, our Little Tanuki is still cuter.
It's just that if you pet it too much, it's not as simple as biting; a big wolf-tooth club might just come down.
This little guy loves to reason with people.
"Sorry, no comment."
Kujou Sara and Bai Luo did have some acquaintance, but this so-called acquaintance was not enough for her to reveal everything to Bai Luo.
Even for such openly known information, she chose to remain silent.
Because she was very clear that a guy like Bai Luo, who deals in intelligence, could sometimes even detect hidden information based on her tone of voice.
When facing him, it's best to find a way to shut him up.
Like the versatile method of "no comment."
As long as he wanted to inquire about any news, she could warn him on the grounds of him trying to gather military intelligence.
And just as she thought, the two walked one after another through the mountain forest.
No matter what Bai Luo asked her, all her answers were four words.
"No comment."
It wasn't until the scenery in front of them began to open up that Kujou Sara stopped.
"Ahead is the beach. If you walk along the beach, you'll see the ferry crossing. Although the situation in Kannazuka is a bit better than Yashiori Island, you shouldn't stay long. Leave as soon as possible."
Why did Kujou Sara send Bai Luo away?
Just because they were old acquaintances?
Of course not.
The situation in Kannazuka was not very clear, and the explosion in Tatarasuna back then also had the shadow of the Fatui.
So keeping this Fatui Harbinger here would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.
It's better to send him away as soon as possible. Anyway, General is in charge on Narukami Island, so this guy won't be able to stir up much trouble.
It's truly incomprehensible... why General would keep such a menace in Inazuma.
