Chapter 466: Travelers Enter Ming Shen Island for the First Time
Liu Bai and Nashida were in Inazuma's house. Nashida, who brought Liu Bai back, deliberately sat in Liu Bai's arms.
After the confrontation with Funina in the dream, she became even more reluctant to leave Liu Bai and didn't want to be separated from him for almost a moment.
"Girl."
Liu Bai suddenly called out "Nashida" while gently playing with Nashida's soft and boneless little hands in his arms.
"what happened?"
Nashida raised her head in confusion in Liu Bai's arms.
"Why are your ears pointy?"
Liu Bai asked Nashida curiously.
"...?"
Nashida raised her head and leaned it on Liu Bai's chest, then subconsciously tilted her head.
However, when she tilted her head, one of her ears happened to lift up, and Liu Bai's eyes immediately locked onto her target.
"Okay, I get it now!"
Liu Bai suddenly realized.
"Because the long ears can be put in the mouth, owu~"
After saying that, Liu Bai lowered his head and took Nashida's pointed ear into his mouth, gently licking the tip of her ear with his tongue.
"ah?"
Liu Bai's sudden attack made Nashida scream. She subconsciously wanted to struggle to get up, but Liu Bai had already held her little hand and hugged her waist tightly, and her whole body was trapped in Liu Bai's arms.
“Oh… No, you can’t lick me like that…”
Nashida, who was held in Liu Bai's arms, completely lost the momentum she had earlier. She was as weak as mud, her face had already turned red to her ears, and her emerald green eyes were misty and looked a little blurry.
What happens next is somewhat inappropriate for children, so we'll have to skip it for now.
……
Due to Hiiragi Shinsuke's deliberate obstruction, Ying and the others were unable to obtain passes to leave the island.
In order to leave the island smoothly, they agreed to the conditions of Chisato Hiiragi, the eldest daughter of the Hiiragi family, and helped Chisato Hiiragi deliver a letter to Kamajū Kujo, the second young master of the Kujo family, the Tenryo Bugyo.
As long as Ying and the others agree to deliver the letter, Chisato Hiiragi will help them leave the island.
The three of them discussed it and decided that since they were going to Inazuma Castle anyway and the Tenryo Bugyo was in Inazuma Castle, they nodded and agreed to Hiiragi Chisato's conditions.
In this way, they disguised themselves as guards escorting Chisato Hiiragi, and together with Chisato Hiiragi, they bypassed the guards at the exit of the island.
She went all the way to Narukami Island with Ying and the others, and only when they arrived near Konda Village did Chisato Hiiragi say goodbye to them and told them to be sure to deliver the letter to Kujo Kamajima.
In addition, she also asked Kujo Kamajima to help Ying and the others prepare passes for all Inazuma as a thank you gift for delivering the letter.
After saying this, Chisato Hiiragi said goodbye to the three of them and then returned to the island.
"Phew, we've finally gotten out of the island. Let's head to Inazuma Castle first. Whether it's the Tenryo Bugyo that Chisato Hiiragi mentioned, or the Mulou Teahouse that Thomas asked us to go to, they're both over there."
After stepping onto the land of Narukami Island, Paimon finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke to Ying and Krewe.
The two nodded and immediately set off towards Inazuma Castle.
However, before entering Konda Village, Ying suddenly noticed something and looked at the statue of a heavenly fox on the side of the road with some confusion.
Over there, a masked shrine maiden noticed Ying's gaze and nodded slightly at her.
'...'
Intuitively, Ying felt that the priestess seemed a little different, but as she was in a hurry, she decided to wait until the next time she passed by to find out.
Just like that, Ying, Paimon, and Clevie walked into Konda Village.
"Is it finally here?"
The masked witch muttered.
After entering Konda Village, Ying and the others asked the villagers for directions and then set off for Inazuma Castle.
However, although Inazuma's territory is the smallest among the seven countries excluding the ocean, the outlying islands and Inazuma Castle are at the two ends of Narukami Island after all. It took them several days to cross Narukami Island and arrive at Inazuma Castle.
Compared to the outlying islands at the gate of Inazuma Province, the inspection of pass in Inazuma Castle was not so strict. Ying and her companions tried their best to avoid the shogunate army and arrived at Tenryo Bugyo smoothly.
Under the pretext of delivering a letter, he successfully delivered Chisato Hiiragi's letter to Kamajiro Kujo.
According to what Chisato Hiiragi said in the letter, Kujo Kamajima personally approved the passes and gave them to Ying, but he also asked Ying and the others to help reply to the letter and give the gift to Chisato Hiiragi.
Although Inazuma had places like Komagariya that helped with mail and express delivery, the families of both Chisato Hiiragi and Kamajiro Kujo did not approve of their relationship, so they both chose to entrust this foreign traveler to their care.
Since she could enter and exit the island freely after obtaining the pass, and Ying had already checked all the teleportation anchor points along the way, she agreed to Kujo Kamajima's request and sent the reply to Hiiragi Chisato.
After finishing all this, Ying returned to Inazuma Castle.
"Yeah, so the next step is to go to the Mulou Teahouse to find Thomas."
After getting the pass, the three people began to inquire about the location of the Mulou Tea House.
……
And during the days when Ying and Paimon were traveling to Ming Shen Island, after several days of discussion, Zhen and Funina successfully decided to cooperate.
However, Funina was not in a hurry to return to Fontaine. She decided to stay in Inazuma for a while to experience the local customs and culture of Inazuma.
In this way, Funina lay on the window of the house and looked towards the house next door.
In the house next door, Liu Bai suddenly felt that someone was staring at him, and he carefully looked around, but saw no one.
"hiss……"
Liu Bai shrank his neck and quickly hid in the bed, covering himself tightly with the quilt.
Hiding in the bed, Liu Bai continued to read the novel he had borrowed from Funina a few days ago.
"Wow, this book has a plot that really touched my heart..."
"Ok?"
Just when Liu Bai was reading a book seriously, he suddenly felt something lift the quilt at his feet and sneak into the quilt.
"What are you doing secretly?"
The next moment, Nashida's little head popped up next to Liu Bai.
"Oh, it's a girl. You scared me..."
Liu Bai was startled and then heaved a sigh of relief when he heard it was Nashida's voice.
But at this moment, Liu Bai suddenly felt someone poking his head through the quilt.
'...'
Wait, wait... the girl is right next to me, and outside the quilt is...
"Ok?"
Then Nashida saw Liu roll his eyes and choose to play dead.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing hiding under the covers in broad daylight? Come out now."
Just at this moment, Funina's voice came from outside.
Nashida then lifted the quilt that Liu Bai had covered her tightly with and looked at Funina who had come into the room at some point.
"We can do whatever we want in our own home, and you don't have to worry about it."
Sitting up from the bed, Nashida spoke to Furninna righteously. At this time, Liu Bai realized that there was no ghost, and he recovered from pretending to be dead.
"Never mind... By the way, do you want to go eat hot pot together? I met a new friend of Inazuma and she's treating us today."
Furninna curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and then made a suggestion to the two of them.
