Bai Luo and Gorou did not stay for long. After learning the cause and effect, the two of them also planned to return to the military camp to discuss the matter further.
Compared to Bai Luo, Gorou had clearly seen much more on this trip.
For example, the impact of the Tatarigami on the masses, the impression of the ordinary people on the resistance, and... certain sights that he might not have seen even before he became a general.
"After we get back, there are many things that need to be discussed with the generals and soldiers."
After there was no one around, Gorou finally dared to speak.
Previously, when he was by Bai Luo's side, he would always subconsciously wag his tail.
But this time, his tail just hung there, only twitching occasionally.
"As for Higi Village... I actually don't recommend you to bother with it anymore. This village is clearly beyond saving. However, the places where the refugees are gathered around can be tried to be saved."
What is the Tatarigami?
In a sense, it is also the residue of a demon god that Bai Luo had seen before.
The karma that had tormented Xiao and the other Yakshas was also similar to this Tatarigami. They were all problems left behind after the death of a demon god.
If anyone on Watatsumi Island could truly solve this kind of thing... it would probably have to be our Divine Priestess herself.
But the people of Watatsumi would absolutely not let their Divine Priestess come into contact with this kind of thing.
After all, even if it was the resentment of a demon god, it was ultimately the resentment of the Great God of Watatsumi, whom they believed in.
His ears twitched slightly. Gorou understood that although what Bai Luo said was ruthless, it was also the most prudent approach.
"You can arrange the specific matters. I have other things to investigate."
After walking up the hillside, Bai Luo looked at the military camp below and said in a low voice.
"You're going alone?"
"Yes, some things are more convenient to do alone."
"...Alright. If you need help, you can ask the resistance for help at any time."
Gorou was not very willing to let Bai Luo investigate alone.
It wasn't that he didn't trust him. After witnessing the power of the Tatarigami, Gorou was worried that something would happen to Bai Luo if he was alone.
But thinking that the other party could walk freely in the Musoujin Gorge, he could only reluctantly agree.
After taking out the Mora he had accumulated and giving it to Bai Luo, Gorou went straight down the mountain.
It wasn't until he was halfway down the mountain that Bai Luo seemed to remember something.
"Hey, Gorou! Your clothes!"
Bai Luo's shout was very loud. Almost everyone in the military camp looked up.
And then... they saw the woman halfway up the mountain.
Gorou: "..."
After seeing the reaction of the soldiers below, Bai Luo finally showed a stunned expression on his face.
Then he threw the clothes in his hand to Gorou halfway up the mountain, gave him an apologetic and bitter smile, and disappeared from the top of the mountain.
Mr. Himura definitely didn't do it on purpose, he definitely didn't.
He just wanted to remind me to change clothes.
Yes, to remind me to change clothes.
Holding the clothes that Bai Luo had thrown down, Gorou did not meet the soldiers who were running up the mountain. Instead, he relied on his own agile movements and disappeared into the mountain forest next to them.
It wasn't until night that he pretended to return to the military camp from the main entrance.
But he did not see how much pain Bai Luo, who was hiding on the other side of the mountain, was in from holding back his laughter.
If you're going to pursue excitement, you have to go all the way.
So you guess if he did it on purpose.
"By the way, I forgot to ask about Mirai's brother."
After coming down the mountain, looking at the soldiers searching everywhere on the mountain top, Bai Luo then remembered that he seemed to have promised that little girl to help ask about her brother.
Forget it. Since that silly boy Teppei is also in the military camp, I'll let him worry about it then.
As for Bai Luo... he had more important things to do.
...
Dendrobium, a vibrant plant also known as [Crimson Pistils] in poetry, was once extinct in the Inazuma archipelago.
As its name suggests, this plant is as red as if it were dyed with blood. Not only the flowers are blood-red, but also the leaves.
The pale veins look like white bones. Approaching it, one can almost smell a bloody scent. It is said that on a bloody battlefield, they bloom particularly gorgeously.
Although extremely rare and expensive, due to its rather ominous reputation in the hearts of the people of Inazuma, its sales are not large.
It is said that this plant is irrigated with fresh blood. The more bloody and tragic the battlefield, the more magnificently the Dendrobiums bloom.
The people of Inazuma believe that the souls of the fallen will travel the winding path paved with Dendrobium to the other world and return to the eternal elemental cycle.
But the souls who are lost in doubt about [eternity] will be bound by the earth and become another crimson flower in the vermilion nursery.
But this demonic flower, which should have been extinct, was now in full bloom on Nazuchi Beach.
Because here was the battlefield of the Shogunate and the resistance.
Just standing on the edge of Nazuchi Beach, the beach full of demonic red flowers was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Arrows stuck in the rocks, rusty tachi, broken spears, battle flags washed by the sea, and beached warships...
Although there was no smoke of war or corpses on this Nazuchi Beach, it was even more hair-raising.
Especially the sea fish and sea birds that actually actively came over after seeing people.
Their eager eyes, although just the most basic pursuit of food for living creatures, made one's spine chill when they appeared in their eyes.
This meant that they were already used to the taste of humans.
Although the war between the Shogunate and the resistance had temporarily stopped due to the Tatarigami, this did not mean that the war between the two sides had ended.
Among the warships that were beached on Nazuchi Beach due to the war, one could occasionally see figures moving.
It was unknown whether they were spies from the two armies, or the pirates who were entrenched here.
Or... the ghosts of those who had died in battle here and were unwilling to rest in peace.
To go to the Shogunate's territory, you either go by water, from the Serpent's Head cavern to Tatarasuna by boat.
Or, like Bai Luo now, walk from Nazuchi Beach to the front line on the other side.
The battlefield is always a place of misfortune.
What's more, the people of Inazuma believed in ghosts and gods, so there were not many people who dared to take this road.
As for why he was going to the Shogunate's side...
Bai Luo took out the leaflet he had gotten from Yashumoto.
Of course, it's for this.
The Shogunate dared to let the people affected by the Tatarigami come over. Bai Luo felt that they should have mastered a way to deal with the Tatarigami.
But the information he got from Yashumoto made him overthrow his previous assumption.
Why would a Shogunate officer take the initiative to go to Yashumoto, who was just a mountain away from the resistance, to invite him? Of course, it was because they had investigated from Higi Village that this guy Yashumoto had the ability to treat the Tatarigami.
Even if it couldn't be cured, just being able to alleviate the condition of the Tatarigami was enough to be considered amazing.
And for such an uncertain factor, they would actually be so desperate. That meant one thing.
In fact, the Shogunate temporarily had no way to solve the problem of the Tatarigami.
Then back to the original question, why did they still dare to distribute leaflets and let the people go over when they couldn't guarantee the treatment of the Tatarigami?
This was a bit intriguing.
