"If there is no troop deployment permission, mobilizing the Shogunate Army would be against regulations. In that case, Lord Omamori cannot sit idly by."
As Amamiya Kotoya spoke, Shiba Kaoru, positioned at the front, cooperated perfectly. A sheathed tachi directly appeared in his hand.
[This is negotiation! You use Eternity to put a high hat on our protagonist group, and our Vice President dares to say you're violating regulations!]
[It's obvious that Amamiya Kotoya is an advisor-type character, and she's very skilled in the art of language.]
[She's using Shiba Kaoru as a threat, and the key point is that Shiba Kaoru really cooperated by drawing his blade.]
[I hope the name of the tachi Shiba Kaoru drew is Makoto-maru (side-eye smile.jpg)]
(Collecting suggestions for Shiba Kaoru's signature weapon name, skill names, and constellation names. As someone bad at naming, I'm very sure I won't come up with Japanese-style names.)
(It would be even better if you could just finish designing the character for me. [side-eye smile.jpg])
Seeing Shiba Kaoru's action, Hiiragi Shinsuke subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
If the Omamori were someone else, Hiiragi Shinsuke would only be wary of the Amamiya Family and Shiba Family behind Amamiya Kotoya.
But the current Narukami Omamori was Shiba Kaoru!
Whether it was Kanjou Commission, Tenryou Commission, or Yashiro Commission, the current leaders of the Three Commissions all shared one consensus:
Do not provoke Shiba Kaoru!
Therefore, faced with Amamiya Kotoya's words that seemed like a reminder but were actually a threat, Hiiragi Shinsuke immediately made a judgment.
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Amamiya. It was my oversight. I will have these Shogunate Army soldiers return to their posts immediately!"
It was just one house. There were no casualties. It was only a matter of some Mora and some face!
[I still prefer your unruly appearance!]
[Every character voiced by Boss Jun has both power and strength in the plot!]
"What about the dangerous elements shaking Eternity?"
"Dangerous elements? There are no such people. I simply misremembered. Those outsiders clearly came to admire the Shogun's Eternity. This is enough to prove that Eternity has already taken root in Inazuma!"
"Since there are no dangerous elements, please take your people and return, Hiiragi Family Head." Amamiya Kotoya smiled gently.
However, this kind of smile, in Hiiragi Shinsuke's eyes, was no less dangerous than Shiba Kaoru's sheathed tachi.
(Once unsheathed, it would no longer be danger — it would be lethal.)
These outsiders had the Shiba Family protecting them. They could no longer be offended. Hiiragi Shinsuke thought this on his way back.
"I apologize for making the esteemed guests witness such a spectacle."
Amamiya Kotoya smiled apologetically at Lumine and the group, then took her umbrella from a Kuroko and personally shielded Shiba Kaoru from the sunlight.
After Hiiragi Shinsuke left, Ketsusai slowly returned behind Shiba Kaoru and continued to remain silent.
Just like Shiba Kaoru's shadow.
Yiya looked at Amamiya Kotoya, whose eyes were wrapped in black satin, flew up and tugged on Paimon's sleeve: "Mido, mido..."
(Help me ask...)
Paimon translated: "Miss Amamiya, Yiya wants me to ask you — can you see?"
Then Paimon spoke for herself: "Actually, I have the same question. Miss Amamiya, you're wearing black satin, but you don't look like you can't see."
Amamiya Kotoya gave a light laugh: "Everyone who knows me seems to ask this."
"My eyes are fine. I'm simply following the Amamiya Family's tradition of gradually getting used to seeing the world without using my eyes."
[Mind's Eye, activate!]
[Observation Haki, activate!]
[Transparent World, activate!]
[Byakugan, activate!]
[The people above broke formation! Transparent World has some relevance, but Byakugan has absolutely nothing to do with this segment. Also, Divine Sense, activate!]
"Gradually getting used to seeing the world without using your eyes?"
"Yiyaduo?" (Without using eyes?)
Paimon and Yiya looked at each other. Both saw complete confusion in the other's eyes.
Jun Mo Li, however, looked thoughtful:
"The eyes are the organ most easily deceived. So by abandoning vision, you're strengthening the other five senses?"
"As expected of the Marshal's elder brother. The Amamiya Family's training is indeed intentionally cultivating the heir's five senses."
Amamiya Kotoya subtly gave Jun Mo Li a hand.
"I don't think it's just that." Jun Mo Li half-narrowed his eyes. "You said your eyes have no problem."
"So in reality, you can see. Even without vision, you can still move around like a normal person."
"Then if you choose to remove the black satin and restore your vision..."
Jun Mo Li suddenly stopped speaking.
Amamiya Kotoya smiled and lightly nodded her head toward Jun Mo Li.
[What would happen if vision is restored? I don't quite understand.]
[Reference Dragon Ball GT, where Super Saiyan 4 Goku couldn't see and was being beaten by One-Star Dragon. After restoring vision, it became a fifty-fifty fight.]
[You can use an example everyone understands, like Mei Chaofeng in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. She was a completely different person before and after losing her sight.]
[After losing vision, experts can ensure free movement through mastery of their body and the other five senses. But it's impossible for there to be no effect after losing one's eyes.]
[So at this moment, restoring vision is equivalent to unsealing one's power. Strength directly rises a level.]
Therefore, Amamiya Kotoya wrapping her eyes in black satin had both the meaning of training and treating her eyes as a trump card.
Unlike Beidou, whose eyepatch was purely for looking cool.
(This is the author's personal opinion. Because when rewatching the 2.0 plot, I noticed that in one cutscene, Beidou was using the eye covered by the eyepatch to look at the protagonist.)
Far out at sea, Jun Bai watched this scene and thought that only in Teyvat's worldview could one play like this.
If it were Jun Bai's previous world's worldview, having normal vision yet still covering one's eyes with black satin —
That person would definitely be seen as sick by those in the know.
Regarding the riddle-like conversation between Jun Mo Li and Amamiya Kotoya, Paimon and Yiya still didn't understand. Lumine, who had experienced many battles, understood the subtext between the two.
"Such a training method must have a reason."
Jun Mo Li was asking Amamiya Kotoya, but his gaze was directed at Shiba Kaoru.
Meeting Jun Mo Li's gaze, Shiba Kaoru answered on Amamiya Kotoya's behalf: "The Amamiya Family is an affiliated branch of the Shiba Family."
"Although the Shiba Family received kindness from the Marshal, due to matters of position, they have served the Shogun for generations."
"The Marshal's orders are the top priority in the Shiba Family, but in reality, the Shogun's orders are on the same level as the Marshal's."
"Within Inazuma's territory, simultaneously believing in a god from another nation would be a great disrespect to the Shogun. Therefore, when my ancestor swore loyalty to the Shogun, he made a vow."
"All descendants of the Shiba Family must not interfere in Inazuma's governance. Finance, military power, and rituals are all unrelated to the Shiba Family."
"The Shiba Family will forever remain detached from Inazuma's Three Commissions. It will forever be a blade that belongs only to the Shogun."
