Watatsumi Island, Coral Palace.

"So we went around and around, and we're back." Paimon said as he spread his hands over the stall next to him.

"Alas, doesn't it have to be called Teppei, we will fly, he won't."

"Yes, but what did you ask about the tassel earlier, I'm curious."

Ying said vaguely: "I was a little curious about what happened earlier, so I got some answers from the tassel." ”

"Okay." Paimon scratched her head, she knew she couldn't ask anything from Ying.

Teppei beckoned in front: "The central building below is the Coral Palace, and in front of it is the rebel camp, let's hurry up." ”

"It's coming, it's coming, but I didn't expect the Sangonomiya to be in it, it's a little different from what I thought." Paimon said as he looked at the Sangonomiya in the basin below the sea level.

Ying and Paimon follow Teppei all the way to the rebel camp.

"This is the training camp for our Watatsumi Island army." Upon arriving at his destination, Teppei said:

"The vast majority of the current rebel forces are made up of local soldiers from Watatsumi Island."

"Some of them fought the shogunate army head-on at Tatarasa, and some of them stayed on Watatsumi Island to protect the safety of the people."

Paimon asked, "Did Teppei train here before?" ”

Zheping nodded a little embarrassed and said: "Yes, it's a pity that I haven't been fully recognized by the instructor, so I have to go to Tatarsa to participate in the war, so I can only help a little in the logistics unit first."

"Hehe, it's okay, Ying is very good at fighting, with her help, you will become very powerful." Paimon was relieved.

"Uh-huh, then trouble the traveler, I'll stay here for the time being, if you have any questions about the Coral Palace, just come here to find me, if you can, teach me a few combat skills, I'll be grateful."

"If I'm not there, we can write a note and stick it on a nearby wall. I'll go to you when I see it..."

Speaking of this, Teppei suddenly thought of something, patted his head and said, "Oh no, it's almost time to make an appointment with Lord Sangonomiya." ”

"Next time, I'll take you to visit Watatsumi Island, I'll take you to the Coral Palace first!"

Paimon suggested, "Sangonomiya, this should be where that Sangonomiya Kokomi lives... Let's go check it out. ”

Ying: "."

This familiar way the plot unfolds, this familiar Paimon, this familiar feeling of not being able to act on its own, ah, it's the main line.

Without saying a word, Ying followed Paimon and Teppei to the Coral Palace in the middle of Watatsumi Island.

As soon as Yingqian arrived at the Sango Palace, he heard the voice of the heart of the Sangogong Palace: "No matter what, food and grass are the top priority, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Now that the conflict between us and the shogunate is becoming more and more intense, we must prioritize ensuring stability in the rear."

"yes, I'll figure it out." A Sangonomiya sergeant named Daisuke Okubo replied.

Sangonomiya Kokomi said with relief: "Don't worry, with the previous batch of supplies, I am also starting to expand the army." ”

"You worked hard when you were short of manpower, and the situation should be better after that."

Daisuke Okubo listened to Sangonomiya's words and replied in surprise, "Expand the army? That's great. I don't know who is behind us this time, but it's really helpful..."

"Huh? Isn't this Teppei, you kid has returned to Watatsumi Island? When Daisuke Okubo turned his head, he saw Tetsuhei coming from outside and greeted him in surprise, "Huh? This is the one who is."

Tetsuhei explained with a smile, "Hehe, I'm a guest of Lord Sangonomiya, I'm in charge of bringing him back to Watatsumi Island." ”

"Oh? Could it be the one who has been rumored in the army lately... A martial arts master with infinite strength, a hundred steps, King Kong is not bad, and a knowledgeable martial arts master? ”

Hearing Daisuke Okubo's praise, Ying proudly crossed her hands on her waist and raised her head and said, "That's right, it's me!" ”

Paimon couldn't help but complain loudly, "No, no! Why is there such a rumor in Ying, and what's going on with Ying's arrogant expression! ”

Daisuke Okubo explained with a smile: "Hehe, it has spread in the army, and you have made a great contribution to our rebels, and the martial arts master and the white floating spirit around her who terrified the sea chaos ghosts, so it must be you." ”

"Hey, why is she a martial arts master, and I am a white floating spirit!" Paimon said huffingly.

"The two of them came from afar, most of them because of something important. I won't bother much, and then you can come and sit with me when you have time. Daisuke Okubo didn't answer Paimon's words, but said respectfully to Ying.

"Huhu, this person has such a bad attitude." Paimon clasped his arms in anger and complained to Daisuke Okubo.

"No, I think he's pretty good, very discerning, I'll teach you a few tricks next time I have the chance." Ying said with a smug face.

"Thank you then." Daisuke Okubo replied in surprise.

Paimon: "."

"Then Lord Sangonomiya, I'll retire first." Daisuke Okubo left after greeting Kokomi to Sangonomiya.

Watching Daisuke Okubo leave, Teppei couldn't help but ask Sangonomiya Kokomi, "Sangonomiya-sama, I just heard what Big Brother Okubo said about funding, what is it?" ”

Sangonomiya Kokomi replied, "Not long ago, someone wrote to me saying that they were willing to support the struggle on Watatsumi Island, and that they had sent a large amount of supplies. ”

"Thanks to this, we can finally recruit troops and fight the shogunate army on a frontal battlefield."

Paimon said with some excitement, "That's great. ”

"Actually, I still have doubts about this... However, Watatsumi Island is not rich, and this material is indeed a relief in the snow. Sangonomiya said this, a little puzzled: "The other party's request is not too much, just say that we will do our best to fight against the shogunate army." ”

Sangonomiya Kokomi analyzed: "No matter what their purpose is, at least we are on the same page, so let's think of it as an ally who doesn't want to show up." ”

"Of course, you can't completely let your guard down. If you notice anything unusual, please report it to me. ”

After Sangonomiya Kokomi finished speaking, Tetsuhei asked with some expectation: "Sangonomiya-sama, will the food on the front line also get better?" The other day I went to the wounded barracks, and those guys were clamoring for barbecue. ”

Sangonomiya Kokomi smiled and said, "Hehe. Rest assured, I've got it covered. The barbecue tube is full, but you are still not allowed to drink. ”

Teopi replied excitedly, "Great! ”

Seeing Teppei's happy appearance, Sangonomiya sighed, "It's hard for you." Since the promulgation of the Eye Hunt Order and the rebellion of our troops, it is true that the meals in the army have rarely been changed. ”

"After that, I will consult with the logistics force and make some changes in this regard."

"However, our supplies are still limited, and I hope you will be patient a little more before victory."

Paimon spoke up at this time, "When will the Eye Hunt Order end?" ”

Paimon's question made Ying look at her strangely, didn't it depend on Raiden Shogun's intention whether the hunting order ended or not? You forgot about the previous things?

Sangonomiya Kokomi hesitated for a moment and replied, "This question... I don't have an answer either. ”

"The issuance of the Eye Hunting Decree is already very strange. Whether it is the Heavenly Leader or the General, their attitude is very subtle. ”

"The Celestial Commander suddenly pursued the Eye Hunting Order to the extreme, and the Shogun seems to be blind to the war brought about by the Eye Hunting Order..."

"Until these mysteries are solved, the Eye Hunt Order will probably not end. I can only assure you that as long as the Eye Hunting Order remains, we will not give up our resistance. ”

Speaking of this, Sangonomiya Kokomi thought of Kage, who was still located on Watatsumi Island, not so much turning a blind eye as agreeing with this statement, but she didn't plan to tell Ying about these things, because Ying could resist Raiden Shogun's thoughtless sword head-on, and with her, the abolition of the Eye Hunting Order might really succeed.

Thinking of this, Sangonomiya Kokomi invited Ying, "Traveler, now I want to confirm again. After learning about the current situation of Watatsumi Island and the rebels, would you still be willing to fight with us? ”

"Yes, you can."

Ying looked at the golden exclamation mark above the head of Sangonomiya Xinhai and agreed without hesitation.

Hearing Ying's words, Sangonomiya Kokomi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, then now, I officially announce your appointment-"

"From now on, you will be promoted to captain of the Swordfish Second Team of the Watatsumi Island Special Operations Team."

Zheping exclaimed: "Sword Sword Fish Second Team? Is it the one I understand, the Einsatzgruppen named Swordfish? ”

"I remember it was very difficult just to enter the Einsatzgruppen team, but it was possible to become a captain in one go... That's amazing! No, it would be strange if the Traveler wasn't the captain. ”

Sangonomiya Kokomi continued, "Although this is an exceptional appointment, I believe that with your wisdom, courage and strength, you can lead this team to victory. ”

Paimon excitedly said, "yes! So when are we going to take office? ”

Ying looked at the interaction of several people with a small kitten face: "."

"The Swordfish Second Team is currently on standby in the valley in the southwest of the main island, and there have been some wandering samurai who have been making trouble recently, and the Einsatzgruppen team is needed to stabilize the rear. ”

"I've already written the letter of appointment, you can show it to them. Those wandering samurai, please also trouble you to clean it up together. ”

Sangonomiya Kokomi suddenly thought of something and said to Ying: "The people of the special operations team are all the elite of Watatsumi Island, and they may be a little arrogant, but I believe you can win their trust." ”

Ying moved her wrist and said excitedly: "It's okay, I like this kind of arrogant person the most." ”

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "."

Looking at the excited Ying, Sangonomiya Kokomi had the urge to mourn for those members of the Special Operations Team.

After Sangonomiya Kokomi and Ying finished speaking, Tetsuhei hurriedly asked, "Then, what about me?" Sangonomiya-sama, do you need me for any battle? ”

"I also want to do more for the Resistance!"

"You've already made a great contribution to the Resistance by bringing the Travelers, but if you want to do more, I'll arrange it for you later." Sangonomiya Kokomi said.

"Mission Guaranteed Completion! Hehe, Traveler, even though you've become the squad leader of the Swordfish Second Team, I won't be left behind. ”

Paimon said with some concern, "Okay, be careful, don't be too forced." ”

"Ying, let's go too."

Ying: "."

Before completing the mission, Ying dug Watatsumi Island, and except for the wandering samurai who ran away when they saw her, no other monsters escaped her clutches.

"Is that what the tassel said about the fight? Although the strength gained was small, I could feel that I was getting stronger little by little. ”

Ying touched her chin and thought, she found that as long as she fought, she didn't have to kill the other party, these could gain combat experience, but after defeating the other party, she couldn't brush up on combat experience again, which made Ying feel a little pity.

Paimon watched beside Ying stuff the treasures she got into her backpack one by one, as well as a pile of Mora as high as a small hill, and said with some confusion, "Ying, there are still a lot of treasures on Watatsumi Island, why does Sangonomiya Kokomi say that Watatsumi Island is short of materials?" It's really confusing. ”

"There are not many treasures there, and where there are treasures, there are also dangers, so these treasures are cut out by me with a sword, with the strength of the rebels, isn't it death to enter these secret realms containing treasures?" Paimon said, glancing at him, but kept moving, throwing everything in the secret realm into her backpack that she found useful.

"Hehe, it seems to be too, then let's quickly put it in the backpack, but Ying, you're getting stronger and stronger now, are you about to fulfill your dream? Are we going to be separated? Paimon was a little happy at first, but as he spoke, Paimon began to feel lost.

This sudden change made the treasure collector full of question marks, when you were so happy to collect treasures, you gave me this?

"No, as long as you are willing to accompany me, I will not leave you." Ying still stopped her movements and said seriously to Paimon.

Although Paimon has a lot of secrets that he hasn't told him, he also has a lot of secrets that he hasn't told Paimon, and Ying has already approved Paimon as a companion during his travels.

Although he usually ridicules Paimon as an emergency food, a mascot or something, and says that Paimon will be sold, these are all jokes, if Paimon has a problem, Ying will definitely be the first to go out, and if he can't beat him, he won't shake people, not shake God.

"Hee-hee, let's talk about it. In the future, we will continue to travel together, and I will be a good guide. Paimon said happily after hearing Ying's words, because she saw the sincerity in Ying's eyes.

"Well, let's go, I've almost explored Watatsumi Island, now let's go find the members of the Swordfish Second Team."

"Let's go, hee-hee, we've made so much money again, and when we're done beforehand, we'll go to Liyue for a good meal." Paimon finished speaking, and followed Ying's steps with a happy expression.

Although they got a lot of treasure, neither Paimon nor Ying mentioned helping the undersupplied rebels, for the simple reason that they were not saints, so they just had to live their own lives.

"You're the new captain of the Swordfish Second Team, Sango-sama has already told us." The acting captain of the Swordfish Second Team said to Ying, who arrived at the scene.

"There have been rumors about you in the army for a long time, and the letter of appointment has been confirmed. But I still have one doubt..."

Paimon wondered, "Huh? Still have any questions? ”

The acting captain of the Swordfish second team replied, "Simply put, it's whether you are worthy of our followers. ”

Paimon continued, "What do you mean?"

"In normal times, the most direct way is to have a good fight. But now, there's a better target. A veteran of the Swordfish II team replied.

"We are stationed here because there have been a lot of homeless samurai disturbances lately. If you can take out these wandering samurai, we will recognize your strength. ”

"Don't be so troublesome, you guys go up together, let me move one step, count me as losing." Ying said lightly.

Looking for a wandering samurai to prove yourself? Excuse me, they see me running, what's the challenge? It's better to beat you up.

"The tone is not small, although it is rumored in the army that you are very powerful, but we are not vegetarians." The acting captain of the Swordfish second team said with some anger.

"I don't know until I try it, how about it, do you want to fight or not?" Ying glanced at him and said impatiently.

Ying doesn't know if she has experience points for hitting people, because the tassel is talking about a hostile target, so Ying has an idea, that is, to provoke the other party and make the other party hostile to herself, so that the other party can also be divided into hostile targets, right?

"Damn, this new captain is too underestimated, let's go together." The acting captain of the Swordfish second team said to the people behind him.

The acting captain of the Swordfish second team is not stupid, and after listening to the rumors in the army, he also knows that Ying's combat effectiveness is very strong, and he will definitely not be able to beat it alone, but he is just a little unconvinced, why would the Swordfish second team parachute a captain?

"With all due respect, everyone here is not as strong as a slime." Ying looked at the members of the Swordfish Second Team who were still a little hesitant and sneered lightly.

This sentence directly ignited several members of the Swordfish Second Team, without such a mockery, no matter how bad the strength of the person is, but as a soldier holding a weapon against some slimes who won't fight back, he can still do it, right?

"Damn, let's go together."

So the enraged crowd raised their weapons in front of Ying and rushed over.

"It seems to have an effect!" Ying's eyes lit up when she saw a few people from the swordfish second team rushing towards her.

"Ouch!"

Ying kicked the acting captain of the Swordfish Second Team who rushed over first, and the acting captain of the Swordfish Second Team flew upside down like this, making the other members of the Swordfish Second Team stunned, but he still gritted his teeth and clenched his weapon and attacked Ying.

Then the result can be imagined, Ying kicked all the members of the Swordfish second team to the ground, and also gained some negligible combat experience from it.

"The effect is good, next time you can provoke the other party like this." Ying felt a subtle increase in strength and touched her chin to think about the feasibility of this method.

"How's it going, are you convinced?" Paimon Fei said proudly to the members of the Swordfish Second Team next to Ying, as if she had won the battle.

"Obey, you are our new captain, and we will follow your orders." The acting captain of the Swordfish second team struggled to get up, and although Ying's kick was retracted, it still hurt him a lot.

The other members of the Swordfish second team looked at the acting captain with some resentment, you said, what are you doing with a fight? Do you think the rumors in the army are false? One person finished fighting all the rebels on the front line, without gasping.

"If you don't accept it, you can still fight, and I'll give you this chance." Ying said.

"No, no, that's it, we're convinced." The veteran of the Swordfish Second Team hastened to reject the offer.

"Well, what's going on with that wandering samurai?" Paimon asked.

"That's right, there are a few wandering samurai in front of us to make trouble, and it will take a lot of effort with our strength, so."

"So you want to call Ying to help you solve it, right? As a result, I was beaten up by Ying without thinking about it. Paimon picked out the acting captain's words.

"Yes, we have recognized the strength of the captain, but these wandering warriors still have to be cleared, so please send the captain."

Ying: "."

So no matter what you're convinced, I'm still going to do this job?
