I've been in this world for a couple of weeks now, but the search for Miyabi hasn't progressed!
It's not that I don't want to look for her, but that this region closed its border, on the orders of the Shogun. This region of Inazuma, as I understood it, was an analogue of Japan, from my world, but ancient Japan.
The first few days, I was just getting used to my new body, and the careful care of my ears, which Yae Miko helped me do.
This cunning fox told her priestesses that I was her sister, and they, of course, believed her. She also made me wear a priestess robe, but for some reason mine was pretty revealing...
And so I became pretty good friends with her, and she told me that Shogun, her friend, or rather, who is now sitting in the palace in the city, is a puppet that created Raiden Ei, that's the name of Shogun, or rather the girl who is inside the puppet, in the kingdom of Euthymia.
From her story, my thoughts got confused, too many incomprehensible words, I heard.
But as I understood, all this happened, that is, Raiden Ei, became like this after the death of her sister 500 years ago.
In fact, this does not mean anything to me, but I think Miyabi will be able to tell me in detail what is happening in Inazuma, because Yae Miko, explained rather vaguely.
During this time, I also trained in wielding two katanas, and my training dummies were wandering samurai, which I easily dealt with.
I also registered with the adventurer's guild that I had read about in novels before, but this one didn't have ranks or levels, not that it mattered…
Though, due to my actions, I attracted the attention of the shogunate, and now they are looking for me to recruit. Although, I can play along, why not!
"Sakura!" Yae Miko said as she approached me, and there was a girl with her, but I clearly felt that she was not human.
"Miko?" I asked
"I want to introduce you to someone." She said, pointing at the girl.
"This is the Tenryo Commission General, Kujo Sara! She wanted to talk to you and was very persistent!" she said and put an emphasis on the last word.
So, they all found me like that, well, it's not like I was hiding, especially since I look very much like Yae Miko, and only a fool could not understand the connection!
"I want to introduce myself once again, I am a faithful follower of the faith of eternity. I have heard a lot about you, and about your abilities. And I want to ask, would you like to join our ranks."
As expected...
"And if I refuse?"
"I do not advise you to do this!" she said.
In fact, she did not scare me, I was confident in my strength, and could defeat her, quite easily. But if I attack her, I will make myself an enemy of the Shogun, and I have no way to sail away from these islands, so I will most likely be pursued until either they subdue me or kill me.
"Can I think about your offer?" I asked the girl.
"Yes, three days!" she said and turned to leave.
"Ara-ara, what are you going to do now?" Yae Miko asked me.
To which I sighed heavily.
"I don't know, if I had the opportunity, I would leave these islands in search of Miyabi.
"Are you sure you can even find her? Although your girlfriend should be from Inazuma, have you looked for her on the other islands?" she asked me.
I couldn't help but blush when she called Miyabi my girlfriend.
"Yes, I've been looking for her for weeks now, but I haven't found a trace or a hint that she was on these islands."
"Well, anyway, I wouldn't want you to leave, you help me a lot with novel ideas." She said, and I smiled.
Yeah, when I found out that she was releasing her own novels, which people liked, I started giving her lots of novel ideas, and of course, they were all yuri.
She was very interested in that, and thus a new genre, "yuri," was born. And it was a good idea, which brought her great success.
"So, I'm just a tool for your ideas?" I asked in a feigned tone.
She just rolled her eyes.
"Ara-ara, you're right! I think I'll lock you in the basement and not let you out!" She said jokingly.
"Okay, jokes aside, what do you think I should do?"
"Just accept her offer! Yeah, I know you're much stronger than her, so you can leave anytime if you don't like it!"
"Okay." I said
"Okay, I need to go to town, do you want to come with me?" she asked.
"Let's do it another time, I want to go to sleep!" I said and went to my room, still thinking about Miyabi.
To be honest, I didn't want to sleep, I just needed to be alone. After all, it's only now that it's begun to dawn on me that I acted impulsively by agreeing to be transferred to this world in the hopes of finding Miyabi. But I don't regret it, I just sometimes wonder if we'll be able to return to our world, and if so, we'll look completely different, and we simply won't exist in that world on paper.
I have a lot of questions that are hard to answer, but I hope they'll be resolved well
