Genshin Impact: This light novel author doesn't cross the line.

"Traveler, I can't finish this, here's some for you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yingmei appeared in front of him, holding a bowl.

"Me too!" Paimon flew over, bowl in hand.

Chiki Ueno had no choice but to share the noodles in her bowl with the two gluttons and even poured them some broth.

Yingmei ate the noodles in her bowl and felt they tasted even better than before. She couldn't understand why the same food tasted better in other people's bowls.

She turned to look at Kaeno Chiki, only to find him lying on the ground, fast asleep.

In the dim light, his face was handsome and gentle, like a prince on a white horse in a dream.

Yingmei's gaze was unconsciously captivated by him, as if she wanted to imprint his face in her heart.

I called out to him softly a few times, but he didn't respond; he was peacefully asleep in his dream.

A wave of heartache washed over her. She gently picked him up and laid him softly on the mat, trying her best to make him comfortable.

......

Ueno opened his eyes and found himself in a magnificent church, seemingly attending a wedding, and he was the groom.

The bride was a beautiful and gentle woman, but her face was both strange and familiar, like Yoomiya, like Ayaka Kamisato, and like Yingmei.

The officiant was Barbatos, a man who did nothing of interest.

"Chiki Ueno, do you take this woman to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, in beauty and in defeat, in success and in failure, to love her, to comfort her, to respect her, to cherish her, and to love her forever, through thick and thin?"

Ueno Chiki was about to answer yes.

Suddenly, the church door was pushed open.

"Junior brother, you're not willing!"

The newcomer was a handsome blond man.

Ueno Chiki recognized it at a glance—it was Sora!

Kong strode up to him, grasped his hand tightly, and said, "Junior brother, I understand my heart now. I want to be with you forever!"

"Junior brother?" Ueno Chiki's mind went blank, completely confused.

"Have you forgotten? You are from Tumen, and I am from Anxi. We are fellow disciples of Mingjing Yinshuiliu!"

"Singing Water Flow?"

The scene then shifts to a kendo dojo where Ueno Chiki is wearing only shorts and is shirtless.

The emptiness in front of him was the same.

Kong licked his lips. "Junior brother, let's practice the Flowing Water Chant together!"

"Huh?! Yameidie!"

Chapter 43 The Enemy at Honnoji Temple

Just as Ueno Chiki was about to be brutally beaten by Sora, he finally woke up, and the nightmare came to an end.

He almost lost his chrysanthemum.

It was already high in the sky, and the sunlight streaming through the window was quite dazzling. He was the only person in the brightly lit room.

He propped himself up, his body still aching, and went outside to wash up.

Just then, Yingmei returned with Paimon, carrying a small fish the size of her palm.

"Qianshu, the fish in the river probably haven't woken up yet, but I caught this one."

As she spoke, she avoided looking Ueno Chiki in the eye. Just a couple of days ago, she had called herself a fishing expert, but after two fishing trips, she fell asleep while waiting the first time, and this time she only caught such a small one.

Ueno Chiki was speechless. He had thought Yingmei's fishing skills were amazing, but it turned out to be terrible.

He took the unfortunate little fish, skillfully scaled it, removed its internal organs, and cleaned it thoroughly.

Then I went to the vegetable garden and picked some greens to make a pot of vegetable and fish soup noodles.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three headed towards the shrine.

Around noon, Ayaka Kamisato and Thomas received them in the lobby of the magistrate's office.

As always, Ueno Chiki sat down and focused intently on savoring the cherry blossom mochi served by the maids. It must be said, the Kamisato family's tea sweets were absolutely divine.

Yingmei and Paimon followed suit and enjoyed the Scarlet Cherry Blossom Mochi.

Ayaka Kamisato didn't mind the three's rude behavior at all, and only spoke after they finished eating the Hizakura mochi.

"I've heard about how you helped those friends. You've really worked hard."

"We didn't really help much," Yingmei said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Through these three things, you should understand the harm caused by losing the Eye of God."

Upon hearing this, Ueno Chiki, Yingmei, and Paimon all fell silent.

The loss of the Eye of God doesn't actually harm ordinary people much; in fact, it's a good thing. Take Kurosawa, for example. After losing the Eye of God, he finally gave up his foolish wish and stopped using his salary to buy food as relief supplies.

The only one who suffered significant damage was Tsuchimon, who went insane after losing the Eye of God.

But in the end, he gave up his dream of becoming the best in the world and got together with his junior brother. Isn't that a fortunate thing in itself?

Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly awkward, Ueno Chiki took the initiative to speak, saying, "The harm is indeed great, and many people have strayed from their original path. But the most significant harm is that, after losing the Eye of God, ordinary civilians are no longer able to resist the atrocities of the Heavenly Territory Magistrate and the Surveying Magistrate."

His words directly pointed out the essence of the Eye Hunt Order: the ruling class deprives the lower classes of their power of resistance and is committed to solidifying class divisions.

"Chiki, I didn't expect you to see things so clearly." Ayaka Kamisato gave him an appreciative look and continued, "Nowadays, Inazuma is gradually becoming like stagnant water. The nobles are corrupt and incompetent, the samurai are unethical, and the common people are living in dire straits."

But our divine Thunder General remained completely unmoved, as if all living beings were merely individual lives in her eyes. Just like thunder, flashes of light, raging winds, and torrential rain... their arrival never considered the feelings of mortals.

Ueno Chiki never expected that Kamisato Ayaka's remarks would be so treasonous, almost an open accusation against the incompetent rule of the Raiden General.

“It’s truly unfortunate that Inazuma has such a stubborn and steadfast deity,” Paimon remarked with regret.

Yingmei wholeheartedly agreed, "Has no one ever resisted?"

"Someone once said that the Thunder General's unexpected strike might not be unattainable, and thus challenged Kujo Sara, the representative of the Thunder General's will, to a duel before the Emperor!"

"The results of it?"

Ayaka Kamisato turned her gaze to Chiki Ueno, "As a result, this highly anticipated duel before the emperor was ruined by Chiki."

"You ruined it?"

Yingmei and Paimon looked at Ueno Chiki with great surprise.

He touched his nose. "Because that duel in front of the emperor was ridiculous. Rightin was basically throwing his life away, and the people watching were just there to laugh at us. So I ruined the duel in front of the emperor."

"Are the people here to laugh at us? This is so indifferent! How can they be like this? It's infuriating!" Paimon said angrily, his hands on his hips.

"However, besides us, there are still resistance forces far away on Haizhi Island."

"Rebels?"

"Yes, many people who are dissatisfied with the shogunate's rule have formed a resistance organization under the command of the Coral Palace on Umijima Island. And the Shaman Magistrate is also secretly helping these resistance organizations."

Ayaka Kamisato's words severely impacted Chiki Ueno's understanding. He had originally thought that the magistrate was only against the Eye Hunting Order, but he never expected that the enemy was Honnoji.

The organization may not only have secretly helped the resistance forces on Haizhi Island, but may have even directly controlled a portion of the resistance.

However, the actions of the company are understandable. Due to their responsibilities, they are the party closest to people's livelihoods, so their stance naturally stands on the side of the people.

Ayaka Kamisato often listened to the suffering of the people, and her sympathy and pity for them gradually led her to the path of resisting General Raiden.

"Miss Ayaka Kamisato, have you thought about how to fight against the Eye Hunt Order and that god?" Paimon asked, waving his little hand.

Ayaka Kamisato's gaze dimmed. "To be honest... no."

"Eh?"

"It's difficult enough just to be prepared to fight against the gods."

Paimon spread his hands. "Then what should we do?"

"Therefore, we can only try to minimize the losses caused by the Eye Hunt Order and accumulate strength. For example, we can hide the holder of the Eye of God or create a fake Eye of God to deal with the emergency."

Can the Eye of God be faked?

"Of course we can forge it. But the problem is, Master Masakatsu, who has been helping us forge the Eye of God, was arrested by the Tenryo magistrate a few days ago. Thomas and I can't act because of our identities; if we're exposed, it will implicate the entire magistrate. So…"

“So, I’ll leave this to me, who has the power to bring about change!” Yingmei volunteered.

"Thank you, traveler. But this matter cannot be resolved by your own efforts alone. If you are prepared, go to Hanamizaka. There is a fireworks shop called Naganohara. You will find someone who can help you there. That person is also an acquaintance of Chiki."

At this point, Ayaka Kamisato's expression became somewhat complicated. If possible, she hoped that Chiki wouldn't go to see that person.

Yingmei looked at Qianshu, sensing something amiss in Ayaka's words. "Someone you know? Could it be your ex-lover?"

Chapter 44 Night Palace and Yingmei

"Your acquaintance isn't your ex-lover, is she?"

Ueno Chiki felt a sudden jolt, as if her current partner had discovered her past relationship.

Before he could answer, he saw Shen Li Linghua looking at him with a resentful expression.

"In the past, Chishu pursued Xiaogong relentlessly, spending all his wealth on her, while he never gave me, his fiancée, anything."

Even from a great distance, one can clearly sense the strong sourness in his words.

He touched his nose, looking quite embarrassed. "Isn't that all in the past? Ever since Xiaogong rejected me, I've given up on that idea."

Ayaka Kamisato snorted coldly. He had given up on this idea, but Yoi-miya hadn't.

When they met last time, Xiaogong kept calling her "Brother Qianshu," which really annoyed her.

What annoyed her even more was that, even though they were all about the same age, why was Yoshimiya's chest so well-developed?

She glanced at Yingmei again and sadly discovered that Yingmei's breasts were more developed, and the depths of her chest were even more alluring than Xiaogong's.

It seems I should drink more milk and eat more papaya in the future.

Yingmei also felt rather uncomfortable. Ueno Chiki seemed like a very honest person, but his romantic history was surprisingly rich. He had not only been a purebred Boiling Sheep, but also had a fiancée.

However, she only ever had intimate relationships with a few girls.
