203 - Rigidity and greetings
Sangonomiya Kokomi is sincerely welcoming.
Before she knew Rama's true face, she first assumed that she was a doctor with a ghost in his heart, but she suspected that although there was, the other party had done good deeds after all.
It is not right to deny the goodness of the other person just because of suspicion.
So she arranged for Gorou to entertain the other party, and even when Gorou brought Rama in to meet her, she did not hesitate to postpone the plan in her hand and chose to entertain Rama first.
She prepared the tea, and when she heard it again, she pressed her hand on the tea table, and almost flipped the table one by one.
It is not only the cultivation from childhood to adulthood that restrains this impulse, but also the other end, Rama reached out and pressed the tea table.
It wasn't Rama who explained the situation, it was Goro.
He didn't see the complicated expression of his boss, and insisted on telling all the conversations with Rama to Sangonomiya Kokomi.
"That's all I know," Gorou hung his head, staggering Sangonomiya's gaze, "he didn't come up with any valid evidence······"
"But you still believe it, don't you." Sangonomiya Kokomi interrupted Goro's words.
Evidence is to increase the persuasiveness of the discourse, and of course it is best to have evidence, but this does not mean that there is no way to convince the other party without evidence.
Rama is not a detective, and he is not here to solve the case, so he does not need to show evidence to the other party.
"Please allow me to quibble in place of Admiral Goro." Rama took a moment to say, "I don't know what other plans the Fatui have, and I don't know if their evil eye plans were carried out before or after the war. ”
"But they do have a plan."
Rama did not hesitate, "Under the outlying islands ruled by the shogunate, it used to be the residence of many foreign merchants. ”
"And with the advent of the lockdown order, these foreign merchants have lost their own country as a backing, and have completely become the playthings of Kanding's practice."
Before the Inazuma plot officially begins, these unlucky eggs have already been tossed by the new tax bill.
"The Kandai Office amended the tax law to change the form of tax that merchants were required to pay from Mora to a kind of goods called "crystallized bone marrow."
Sangonomiya Xinhai said coldly, "Left hand to right hand? What a bad gameplay. ”
Sangonomiya Kokomi handles all the affairs of Kaigi Island, and because of her experience in this area, she can easily understand the doorway.
When it comes to foreign trade on Kaigi Island, she's a serious player.
Because she is serious, she must be better at it than those who play tricks.
Being a good guy is much more difficult than being a bad guy.
"I have no intention of saving these people from their predicament, I just need to remind you that through similar games and methods, the Fatui have collected a sufficient number of crystallized bone marrow."
"Inazuma's famous [jade steel] is to add [crystallized bone marrow] in a special way when smelting steel to improve the strength of steel."
Sangonomiya Kokomi heard something, but his face remained silent, "I don't seem to understand the connection between the two. ”
"No, no, no, how could you not understand." Rama said softly, "To add a piece of history, more than 400 years ago, a Fontaine people arrived here and helped the Tatarsand people at that time to create a new smelting technology. ”
"This technology has created the jade steel that the Inazuma people are proud of today, and the interesting thing is that the core material for making the jade steel also happens to be one of the materials used to make the evil eye."
This is the story in the background of the skirmishers, and Sangonomiya Kokomi really doesn't know.
But she should know Yugang's secret.
It would be more accurate to say that this should not be a secret. The gap between knowing the material and getting the correct ratio is still quite large, but I know that the forging of jade steel needs to use crystallized bone marrow, and then it can perfectly reproduce jade steel, and even produce better materials······ If you have this kind of talent, it's nonsense to keep him a secret or something.
Completely useless.
Sangonomiya Kokomi took a deep breath.
She learned a lot about how Rama persuaded Goro.
He's just constantly bombarding your defenses with big news, lowering your vigilance against him by emphasizing how tricky things are.
Obviously, what is Rama's unidentified identity compared to the real trouble he described?
"Your rhetoric is getting more and more bizarre, Mr. Morro." Sangonomiya Kokomi had to calm down, "When you chatted with Gorou, you just said one of the possibilities of the outbreak of war. ”
She used one of them, and despite Sangonomiya's inner calculations, she threw the black cauldron to the Fatui and the shogunate.
She acknowledged Rama's argument that the outbreak of war was absolutely good news for both families.
Of course, you don't have any evidence, and you don't even know how they operated, but when you've seen the ultimate winner of a matter come forward, you naturally doubt his position in the whole thing.
This has nothing to do with his reputation, it can be regarded as a pure conspiracy theory.
Even if Kujo Takayuki was a compassionate saint, he should be suspicious at such a time, not to mention that his reputation was very bad within the rebels, which was even more suspicious.
"I can't deny your claims, although you haven't come up with any favorable evidence."
Sangonomiya Kokomi took a deep breath, "But when you describe the problem to me, you have already recounted the story of four hundred years ago······"
She didn't go on.
"You can listen to it as a story without having to go into more ways about it." Rama reassured, "Of course, you need to face reality too, Miss Sango. ”
It sounds ridiculous about the plans of the Fatui hundreds of years ago, but Sangonomiya Kokomi really doesn't doubt it after hearing it.
Because of this plan, she was 100% sure that it had nothing to do with Kaiju Island.
The decline of Kaigui Island was a long time ago, and if there really were any plans for Kaigi Island, it would have been put on the agenda a long time ago, and there was no need to wait until now.
The part that has nothing to do with oneself, and the truth of it is actually something that does not matter.
"Reality ······" Sangonomiya was stunned, "Your so-called reality is actually to say that they want to return it after they pay, right?" ”
There was no shortage of sarcasm in her words, but Rama was indifferent.
"You're smart." Because he can also sneer back, "You know that investing is about getting a return." ”
Gorou subconsciously stood in the middle of the two.
It is difficult to say whether this move was made out of protection or so that the negotiations could continue.
Sangonomiya Kokomi is a little bitter.
She's not that kind of girl.
To this day, Sangonomiya still retains its dominance over Kaijushima.
The shrine maiden, the living god chosen by the shrine maidens, is actually the king of this island.
They inherited the arrogance and arrogance of the Orobus who served the gods of the Coral Palace back then - being able to have direct contact with the gods is really a kind of heritage in the continent of Teyvat.
Under such an educational model, the etiquette of the Sangonomiya Kokomi is trustworthy.
Her emotions fluctuated violently precisely because she recognized her powerlessness.
"Investments are all about returns." She whispered, "The shogunate and the Fatui ran this chess game, and they spent countless moras and hours intending to get it from Kaigi Island. ”
"The shogunate got everything the victors deserved through the war, and the Fatui had no bottom line, and they set their sights on these soldiers who fought to protect Kaigi Island, making their glorious sacrifices dirty."
"I don't want to interrupt you, Miko-sama." Rama's words were calm, "But from my own experience, there is no nobility or honor for losers. ”
Moreover, sacrifice is something that is not worth preaching about.
People only choose to sacrifice when they have no choice but to do so, and whatever their purpose is, the core of this behavior is powerlessness in the face of disaster, not heroism in the face of disaster.
Sangonomiya Xinhai, who was interrupted twice, suddenly felt that all his grief and anger were gone.
For a moment, she wanted to flip the chessboard right away.
This game needs her encouragement and support, and only if the war continues can the Fatui and the Celestial Lords be earned.
She's vital and her responsibility is so great – to be alive.
Yes, being alive is her greatest responsibility.
The members of the Resistance are not only the people of Hachigi, but the people of Eizari are undoubtedly the core.
In addition, the logistics of this army came entirely from the support of the people of Kaigijima.
Since the death of Orobus, the people of Kaigi have long been accustomed to submitting to the prestige of Narugami.
A dead god and a living god, your faith can be attributed to the dead god, and your head must bow down to the living god.
If it weren't for the decision of the Coral Palace, the rebels would not have been formed at all.
Even if it is supported now, it is actually relying on the Sangonomiya Kokomi to dispatch from it, and it is difficult to maintain the establishment and stability of the army.
It's not hard to understand how all this is developing.
It was a fact that everyone could see that the rebels had no hope at all, and now that the general was in the castle tower, he was indifferent, and when he was tired of the ants' resistance, when the rebels could play GG and reopen.
To be reasonable, this can organize the rebels, and the heart of Sangonomiya is really strong.
And if she dies, the rebels will be over, and all this planning will naturally be impossible.
"It's funny, my ultimate means of ending a conspiracy is my death?"
Her smile looked rather poignant.
Yet Rama's face was full of pity, as if he was looking at a fool who was soaring on the path of stupidity.
You try to stop her from going wrong, but she soars like a god of war until she gets an arrow in the knee, but loses the chance to turn back.
"Death is the end of everything, Miko-sama, but it's only for yourself." Rama spoke respectfully, but harshly, "If you don't know the value of the people of Kaigi Island, then allow me to explain it to you again." ”
"The greatest value of the island and the people of the island is that they are still alive."
As if worried about the girl's ability to understand, he repeated his words, "Do you understand? For the bastards on both sides, your life is the greatest use. ”
"Of course you can choose to die, but as long as they live, it's not over."
Rama didn't know if Sangonomiya Kokomi didn't know or if she didn't want to know, he himself leaned towards the latter because he was really optimistic about Sangonomiya Kokomi.
Of course, this answer doesn't matter.
It's naturally good that you admit it, but if you don't admit it, I will break your defense line and let you take the initiative to admit it.
"You said two bastards, but you don't seem to be among the Fatui?" Sangonomiya Kokomi regrouped.
She carries the entire island of Kaigi, and people can collapse temporarily, but they can't collapse all the time.
There are still people alive.
"My identity is a bit complicated," Rama mused, "Well, I'm a member of the Fatui and also represent the interests of the shogunate, so I'm a double bastard?" ”
He himself was a little unsure.
Sangonomiya Kokomi: ?
What a double bastard, Rama's words made a girlish shiver.
"Please don't get angry just yet." Rama reassured, "I have a double identity, so naturally I can fight for the benefits of double for you." ”
"As long as you nod your head and agree, you can get the shogunate's march map right away, and you can also get material support from the Fatui."
"The children of the Heavenly Leader need military exploits, the Fatui need warriors to experiment with the evil eye, we are businessmen, and if we want to get it, we will choose to pay first."
Kujou Sara also had diehard loyalists in the army.
The defeat on the march was certainly not the fault of Kujo Masahito, as for whose fault it was······ Whoever you love, it's not him anyway.
"You want me to betray my comrades?" Sangonomiya Kokomi had a cold face.
She felt the urge to kick Rama out, but she couldn't.
Because it doesn't seem to be able to beat.
"How about we put it another way?" Rama denied, "You see, war must kill people, right?" ”
"If they are going to die, why not make their deaths more worthwhile?"
This is, of course, sophistry.
The truth of sophistry is usually far-fetched, but it is by no means unreasonable, and what is unreasonable should be counted as nonsense.
Sangonomiya Kokomi snorted Rama, "But according to your words, the defeat of Kaigi Island is a matter of time, so why should I do such a disgusting thing?" ”
Rama was shocked: "So you plan to take the people of Kaiji Island to die now?" I'm afraid I can't say anything more than you have been so fierce in the face of threats and predicaments. ”
He stood up, his expression sincere, "Forgive me for guessing the thoughts of a hero like yours with the crude and vile minds of mortals, and I will confess your bravery to the Celestial Lords and the Fatui, and advise them to abandon such a despicable plan, and deserve the respect that a warrior deserves." ”
The respect of the fighters, of course, is to meet and open up and go all out.
Sangonomiya Kokomi used a long list of words from the Enshita Palace to greet Rama's entire family in his heart, and the words were gentle but sincere.
Is your mother healthy?
