Chapter 244 - Chapter 244: The Attack of the Puppet Sword Ghost

For the next few days, Miyashiro spent his days with Shenhe and Eula, touring various parts of Inazuma, ostensibly to let his Mondstadt friends experience the local customs of Inazuma. As for work, he handled it the old way, leaving it to Miyashiro's shadow clone.

With Kamui as a convenient travel tool, they could practically save all the time spent on the road, fully immersing themselves in the beautiful scenery.

After Shenhe learned that her senior sister, Ganyu, had also come to Inazuma, she would meet with her from time to time, deliberately giving Miyashiro and Eula space to be alone. This move quickly warmed the feelings between Miyashiro and Eula, easily advancing past second base, and third base was coming soon.

As for the evenings, they would return to the Regent's Office home to do things that were not to be spoken of to outsiders. This made Sara, who lived next door, look at Miyashiro with increasing fervor.

At the same time, Klee, who was having a wild time playing in Inazuma, went to the sparsely populated Yashiori Island to play, led by Yoimiya.

The reason was that the explosions she and Klee kept causing around Narukami Island, while not resulting in casualties or property damage, were still a form of noise, especially when they were sudden.

Many citizens had already gone to the Commission Office to complain about this matter. Although the officials of the Commission Office had already received instructions from their superiors in advance that as long as no lives or property were endangered, they should ignore all actions taken by Yoimiya and Klee. For their complaints, the Commission Office would only accept them but not process them.

However, some Inazuma citizens directly approached Yoimiya and Klee. Everyone was a neighbor, and coupled with Yoimiya's good reputation in Inazuma, their reminders were quite polite.

Although Klee was a mischievous child, her intentions were definitely not bad. Since someone had reminded her, she just needed to go play somewhere farther away.

Under Yoimiya's guidance, they first arrived at Kannazuka. This was the Shogunate Army's daily training camp, not only densely populated, but also filled with too many flammable and explosive items.

What's more, Tatarasuna, not far away, was Inazuma's famous source of Tamahagane, its importance evident.

Neither the military camp nor the Mikage Furnace in Tatarasuna were suitable places for Klee to play. So, Yoimiya proactively led Klee away from there and headed to the more distant Yashiori Island.

During the Inazuma civil war, the villagers on Yashiori Island suffered the most severe losses, not only serving as the battleground for the two armies.

More importantly, the war damaged a large number of Wards on the island, causing the God Orobashi's resentment to slowly corrode the minds of the island's residents. Regardless of age or gender, everyone contracted a terrifying strange illness, resulting in heavy casualties and turning Yashiori Island into a desolate place where nine out of ten houses were empty.

After the Inazuma civil war ended, although Miyashiro dispatched the Shrine Maidens of the Grand Narukami Shrine to repair the Wards, Yashiori Island also returned to its former tranquility. However, the terrifying legends circulating on Yashiori Island did not disappear; instead, they became even more bizarre.

To date, Yashiori Island is the least populated island besides Tsurumi Island; even the recently developed Seirai Island has more people than Yashiori Island.

Even where people do gather, it is concentrated in Fort Fujitou in northern Yashiori Island. As for southern Yashiori Island, it is virtually empty.

However, precisely because of the sparse population, this place became an excellent testing ground for Klee and Yoimiya.

In addition, the giant skeleton of Orobashi on Yashiori Island also became the most famous scenery here, causing Klee, who saw such a large bone for the first time, to exclaim, "Wow! So big, such a cool bone! Klee likes this! Yoimiya Sister, can Klee blow up this snake head?"

This sentence made Yoimiya break out in a cold sweat. Not to mention that this was the remains of a God, the current Head of the Serpent God had become a famous scenic spot on Yashiori Island, with great tourism value. She couldn't let this little ancestor Klee ruin it, otherwise Regent would definitely blame her for not taking good care of Klee.

Yoimiya quickly pulled Klee down from the Head of the Serpent God, fearing that in the next second, if she wasn't watching, Klee would pull out Jumpy Dumpty from her backpack. When they were near Narukami Island, it was because she wasn't watching that they received complaints from the neighbors.

As Yoimiya and Klee leaped down from the Head of the Serpent God, gliding with their Wind Gliders, the sharp-eyed Klee immediately spotted what looked like a strange object below.

Klee: "Yoimiya Sister! Yoimiya Sister! Look quickly, it looks like there's a person down there!"

Yoimiya's first reaction was confusion. How could there be anyone in this desolate wilderness? Could it also be a tourist who came to play?

Yoimiya followed the direction of Klee's finger and saw a samurai in armor, kneeling motionless below.

Huh? There really was a person! And a samurai at that. However, the armor he was wearing seemed different from what the Shogunate Army wore. But why was he kneeling there motionless?

Yoimiya didn't have time to think much before Klee was already piloting her Wind Glider, flying towards the samurai below. Seeing this, Yoimiya also had no choice but to follow.

When the two successfully landed next to the samurai, they discovered that the terrain here was surprisingly flat, so flat that it felt like it had been cut in half by a sharp blade.

In addition, the area around here was densely covered with Dendrobium. This plant is a strange plant that needs to draw nutrients from corpses to bloom. Since so many Dendrobium grew here, it meant that many people had died in this place.

Yoimiya felt that this place was a bit off, eerie, and the samurai in front of her was also very abnormal. What kind of samurai would have a shield carved with a Ghost Face (oni mask) in front of him?

Just as Yoimiya was about to pull Klee away from the area, Klee merely took one step forward, and the samurai who had been quietly kneeling in the center moved in a very strange posture.

And from his body, several threads appeared out of thin air. Under the control of the threads, the samurai drew the long sword from his waist and looked straight in Klee's direction.

The samurai extended a hand towards Klee, and the Ghost Face (oni mask) shield that accompanied him charged aggressively towards Klee.

Yoimiya: "Klee! Be careful!"

Yoimiya quickly pounced and hugged Klee, using the force of momentum to narrowly dodge the impact of the mask.

The moment Yoimiya landed, she adjusted her posture, with herself facing down and Klee facing up, making herself Klee's cushion. She, however, fell heavily to the ground, and the piercing pain from her back made Yoimiya let out a muffled groan.

Klee, protected by Yoimiya, was naturally unharmed and quickly got up, anxiously saying, "Yoimiya Sister, are you okay?"

Yoimiya got up and comforted her, "Sister is fine."

But very quickly, Yoimiya's expression changed because she saw the mask that had missed its attack split into two and fly spinning towards her and Klee.

Yoimiya's pupils constricted, and she immediately realized something was wrong. Enduring the pain, she grabbed Klee and dodged in another direction.

Sure enough, the next moment, the two halves of the mask fiercely clamped together where Yoimiya had been, and at the same time, a fierce Ice element force burst forth instantly. If they had been hit by that attack, they would have been dead or severely injured!

Having escaped a calamity, Yoimiya's face was full of solemnity as she pulled out her signature weapon, [Thundering Pulse].

And Klee had also realized that this samurai was a big bad guy, daring to hurt Yoimiya Sister! Since he was a big bad guy, Klee would use Jumpy Dumpty to punish him!
