Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

And there's also 'Watch out for Ayaka.'

"Where is the patriarch's body?"

The words fell.

Thomas felt that Ayaka Kamisato seemed to have changed.

He still had a sorrowful expression, but the look in his eyes suddenly gave him a deep and unsettling feeling, making him feel uneasy.

After a long pause, Ayaka Kamisato finally said softly, "Toma."

"Are you doubting me?"

"Thoma wouldn't dare!" Thomas immediately lowered his head.

"It doesn't matter."

Ayaka Kamisato sighed.

“My brother trusted you a lot when he was alive, and he entrusted you with many things that I didn’t know about.”

"Or did your brother tell you something about me?"

"It's understandable that you have doubts about me."

"After all, my relationship with my brother hasn't been very good lately."

Thomas hurriedly said, "Miss, you're overthinking it. I just want to see the head of the family one last time."

"Is that right?"

Ayaka Kamisato was silent for a while, then said softly, "Never mind, I don't want to ask or meddle in these matters. But seeing him is fine too. I don't want anyone to disturb my elder brother's peaceful sleep."

"After some time, you will be able to see your brother."

"I understand, I was the one who offended you."

Ayaka Kamisato watched Thomas's departing figure with a wistful expression.

Until his footsteps disappeared.

Ayaka Kamisato got up, walked to the door, gently closed it, and then bolted it.

The candlelight shone on her, casting her long shadow on the door.

Ayaka Kamisato stared intently at her own shadow. Before she knew it, in the blink of an eye, an even larger shadow appeared behind her.

A pair of hands wrapped around her slender waist from behind, and Ayaka Kamisato naturally leaned into his arms.

"Thoma suspects me."

"Isn't this just right?"

There were no extra words, only the hand that untied the waistband of her clothes. The waistband and clothes fell to the side of her jade feet. In the dim candlelight, the two figures overlapped with a soft groan.

······

He quickly left the house and went to the courtyard.

Feeling the slightly cool night air, Thomas took several deep breaths before gradually calming down.

Only then did I realize that I was completely soaked in cold sweat.

"There's definitely something wrong with the young lady."

Recalling what had just happened, Thomas's breathing became somewhat heavy.

He felt as if an unseen hand was shrouding the Kamiri family in shadow.

Based on his understanding of the young lady, Ayaka Kamisato's behavior today was definitely abnormal. Just her answer to his question, "Where is the head of the family's body?" was not something that could be given under normal circumstances.

Group 66002, combined with the previous contradictions.

There was also Ayato Kamisato's warning to be careful of Ayaka Kamisato.

Ayato Kamisato's death is definitely related to the young lady!

but.

It's one thing for the young lady to want to kill him, but how could she possibly bring herself to harm the head of the family?

That's her own brother who watched her grow up!

"Could it be that Miss deliberately let me know?"

Thinking about it.

Thomas's body grew colder and colder.

With the young lady's intelligence.

She shouldn't have exposed such an easily detectable flaw.

unless.

Ayaka Kamisato never intended to hide it from him.

But let's think about it from another perspective.

Ayaka Kamisato used this method to tell him that there were only two possibilities regarding Ayato's death and her involvement.

One possibility is that she wants him to help her.

She was completely controlled by the large hand behind her that had killed Ayato Kamisato, and was using this method to plead for his help.

There is another possibility, a truly terrifying one...

Ayaka Kamisato wanted him to live in fear, and after he gradually discovered the truth about the head of the family's death, she also wanted him to "die."

And considering the wistful look in Ayaka Kamisato's eyes when she spoke...

"Will not."

"Young Miss is not that kind of person."

Thomas shook his head, channeling his fire element to burn away the cold sweat on his body, forcing himself to break free from his fear.

"No matter what, we must find out the cause of the patriarch's death."

Thomas dared not stay at the house of the gods any longer.

They quickly left the Kamisato family home, turned left and right, and arrived at a teahouse, where they booked a room.

Soon, a middle-aged woman dressed in a kimono walked in and knelt down in front of the table.

This is the Kamisato family's tea room, and also a base of the "Final Chapter." It's a place that even Kamisato Ayaka doesn't know about, and it deals with dark matters that are not suitable for her to know.

Thomas said directly, "I want to know the time of the patriarch's death, and everything that happened after that."

"You've crossed a line."

The middle-aged woman said calmly, "Since the patriarch is already dead..."

"Then the young lady is, and must be, the next head of the Kamisato family."

"Regardless of the cause of the patriarch's death, and regardless of whether it was done by the young lady or not, it cannot be the young lady who did it."

"I know."

"I don't want to bring the young lady to justice. Even if she did it, I will still be loyal to her. If the head of the family were still alive, he would have wanted us to do the same."

"but."

"Don't you think something's fishy?"

"Based on the head of the family's abilities."

"Even if the young lady really wanted to kill the family head, how could she possibly do it on her own?"

Thomas gritted his teeth and said.

Although Ayaka Kamisato is intelligent, she is ultimately just a canary well protected by Ayato Kamisato.

I haven't been exposed to much darkness at all.

In terms of ability and methods, ten Ayaka Kamisatos wouldn't be a match for one Ayato Kamisato. In fact, to put it bluntly, Thomas felt that he could easily outmaneuver Ayaka Kamisatos with his own abilities.

"Someone must be pulling the strings behind all this!"

"Or rather, it was Lin Jiu'an who orchestrated the death of the family head!"

"Besides him, I can't think of anyone else in Inazuma who could have done this!"

"And now, if that's really the case, then the young lady is just his puppet, and my Shinri family and the young lady could be doomed to eternal damnation if things go wrong."

"I'm not only doing this to find out the cause of the family head's death, but also to save the young lady! To save the Kamisato family!"

"You haven't gone to the young lady to reveal your identity yet, probably because you have this same suspicion, right?"

The middle-aged woman fell silent for a long while before sighing and saying, "I don't know what happened back then."

"My only news is that the young lady brought a bowl of fish soup into the head of the family's office."

"And then he didn't come out for a long time."

"Several hours later, they came out and announced the death of the family head."

Thomas grew colder and colder as he listened.

This is no longer just a doubt.

Ayato Kamisato was definitely killed by Ayaka Kamisato!

"You believed that?!"

"She is the only bloodline of the main branch of the Kamisato family, and the only sister of the family head."

The middle-aged woman said coldly, "What do you want us to do?"

"Publicly questioning the eldest daughter, causing the Kamisato family to split?"

Thomas was speechless after being rebuked, and then asked, "What about the patriarch's body?"

"The young lady handled everything herself, from placing the coffin into the mourning hall to my men only glancing at it from afar."

Thomas was silent for a moment: "I hope you can send ninjas to sneak into the mourning hall and see the patriarch's body."

Seeing that the middle-aged woman did not answer immediately, he continued, "This is not for the sake of the head of the family, but for the safety of the young lady. No one knows what the person behind this is planning to do. If this continues, the Kamisato family may disappear like the Hiiragi family."

"I see."

The middle-aged woman was silent for a moment, then asked, "Who should we send?"

Thomas was speechless for a moment when asked the question.

If, as they suspect, Lin Jiu'an is the mastermind, then sending ordinary ninjas there would only be sending them to their deaths.

It requires ninjas with top-notch stealth and escape skills.

Ideally, no, it's a must to have the eye of God.

Moreover, they must be absolutely loyal to the Kamisato family, guaranteeing that even if they are captured and subjected to various forms of torture, they will not betray the cause.

After thinking it over, Thomas suddenly pictured a petite, childlike figure in his mind. He looked up at the middle-aged woman and found that she also seemed to be thinking of something and was looking at him.

"Zaoyou," the two said in unison.

······

The Shinri family's shrine is located in a separate and spacious courtyard.

There is a large square ahead.

Behind it is a lush garden with many tombstones, which are the resting places of the heads and wives of the Kamisato family after their deaths.

At midnight, everything was silent.

By moonlight.

A petite, dark figure nimbly vaulted over the wall and landed on the ground without making a sound.

Looking at the dark mourning hall, Zaoyou shrank back in the raccoon dog outfit wrapped around her.

She never imagined that she would secretly sneak into the Kamisato family home.

Especially when she remembered Thomas and the witch sister's instructions before she arrived, and looked at the mourning hall, she felt a terrifying sense of fear, as if it were a wild beast ready to devour her. For the first time, she felt fear towards the mission.

"very scary."
