Chapter 43: Arataki Itto’s Psychiatric Evaluation Bail Document

Chapter 43: Arataki Itto’s Psychiatric Evaluation Bail Document

Ever since the last duel before the throne ended, the training ground at Tenshukaku had remained under construction.

Actually, for the people of Teyvat, repairing a training ground wouldn’t normally take long.

All they needed to do was find a few Vision holders and mobilize elemental powers. In less than a day, the place could basically be restored to its original state.

Unfortunately, because of the Vision Hunt Decree, the Shogunate couldn’t find any masons who possessed Visions.

Even though Kujou Sara repeatedly promised that the craftsmen’s Visions would absolutely not be confiscated, no one was willing to apply for the job.

Not confiscate them?

What a joke.

After the Battousai incident, the Raiden Shogun had personally confiscated a Vision from a Shogunate soldier.

If the Shogunate wouldn’t even spare its own lackeys, how could it possibly spare an ordinary mason?

So no matter how high the wages were or how many promises were made, the training ground was being repaired at an extremely slow pace.

Every day at noon, Kujou Sara would personally visit the construction site.

As the general of the Tenryou Commission, she handled everything personally, whether big or small.

Even for repair work like this, she would still come to inspect it.

After checking on the progress of the repairs, Kujou Sara, as usual, walked to the cherry blossom tree.

On the day of the duel before the throne, that mysterious person had appeared from somewhere near this tree, so the area had been thoroughly investigated.

But the other party had been extremely cautious and had left no clues at all.

There was, however, a cat that had been hiding in the tree and refused to come down.

In fact, the first time she saw the cat, Kujou Sara had already recognized it.

There were many white cats in Inazuma City, but one with such intelligence—there was only one.

“Meow!”

Kujou Sara’s arrival made the white cat wary.

It let out a low growl as a warning.

Even though it had not yet become a yokai, it was far smarter than ordinary animals.

After all, it had personally watched its master fight this woman.

Therefore, in its mind, Kujou Sara was an enemy.

And Sara had long since grown used to this hostile behavior.

She took out the food she had deliberately brought with her, placed it under the cherry blossom tree, and then left.

The food wasn’t luxurious, it’s just some dried fish and milk.

But for a cat that was mentally exhausted, it was already a feast.

“Kujou-sama.”

Just as Kujou Sara was quietly observing whether the white cat would touch the food she left behind, one of her subordinates from the Tenryou Commission, Owada, hurried over.

“What is the matter? Why are you so flustered?”

Seeing how rushed he was, Sara’s brows slightly furrowed.

Although the Tenryou Commission held considerable authority in Inazuma, barging into Tenshukaku like this was absolutely against protocol.

And Owada was not someone who ignored rules.

So… there was only one possibility.

Something had happened in Inazuma City.

“Kujou-sama, we just received a report from the Kanjo Commission—no, the Magistrate’s Office—saying they caught the oni who was scribbling graffiti all over the message board in Hanamizaka. They want to transfer him to us. What should we do?”

“…”

After hearing Owada’s words, Kujou Sara’s expression grew even darker.

Of course she knew which oni the Magistrate’s Office had caught.

He was the one who kept leaving messages on the board every day, constantly provoking her.

As the current general of the Tenryou Commission, didn’t she have any dignity?

“Do it according to usual procedure, send him to the holding cells and keep him there for seven days.”

For that noisy oni, staying locked in a cell for seven days was worse than death. For him, it was already a very severe punishment.

“But his subordinates brought a psychiatric evaluation bail document, saying he has mental problems and insisting we release him.”

This was also one of the reasons Owada had come.

Such documents were very important and had to be issued with Kujou Sara’s approval.

“Psychiatric evaluation bail document?”

Hearing this term, Kujou Sara’s expression changed again.

“Is Kuki Shinobu the one bailing him out?”

“Yes, that seems to be the name,”

Owada recalled carefully before reporting.

“Go tell her this: precisely because that guy has problems with his head, he should be locked up for seven days and seven nights. Otherwise, if he randomly hurts someone, it’ll be troublesome to deal with later.”

Kujou Sara’s meaning was already very clear.

Arataki Itto had to spend time in jail. Even if Shinobu came personally, she wouldn’t be able to save him.

“Understood!”

Owada straightened up, saluted, and hurried off again.

When Kujou Sara looked back at the food she had placed earlier, she discovered that the milk and dried fish had both disappeared.

From the lush cherry blossom tree above, fish bones and crumbs occasionally fell down.

This scene improved her already terrible mood quite a bit.

. . .

Arataki Itto had already been taken away, and the gathered crowd gradually dispersed.

Only Bai Luo remained, staring thoughtfully at the green-haired girl who was leaving together with the Magistrate’s officers.

“Wasn’t Yoimiya supposed to have red hair? When did she join the Arataki Gang? And she even dyed her hair green? What’s the point of dyeing it green anyway?”

Since she was his main DPS character in the game, Bai Luo cared quite a lot about this detail.

Unfortunately, he had arrived in this world rather early, and the game hadn’t finished updating yet.

So he didn’t know that the Arataki Gang also had someone called Kuki Shinobu.

“Hm? Were you calling me?”

The voice that suddenly sounded beside his ear made Bai Luo freeze.

He turned his head and looked at the girl who had appeared beside him at some unknown moment. Then he looked at the mysterious green-haired girl in the distance who was still following the officers and Arataki Itto.

Gradually, he fell into deep thought.

Why are there two Yoimiyas?!

“Customer, are you here to order fireworks? If you were referred by a regular customer, I can give you a 20% discount.”

After shooing away the little kids who had been following her, Yoimiya spoke to Bai Luo again.

She had only vaguely heard someone mention her name earlier, but she hadn’t caught what exactly was said.

So she assumed this man had come specifically to Hanamizaka to order fireworks from her.

After all, what she was most famous for in Hanamizaka was making fireworks.

“Yeah… you could say that.”

After calming himself down, Bai Luo replied perfunctorily.

Unexpectedly, the last time he had deliberately come here, he didn’t run into her.

This time he had only come to watch the commotion, yet he had bumped into her.

Actually—two of her.

Pretty lucky.

“Customer, you’ve been here before, right? My dad mentioned you once.”

Yoimiya chatted with Bai Luo while leading the way ahead.

Some cautious people might think she was trying to probe for information.

But Bai Luo knew very well that this was simply her personality—she loved talking to people and enjoyed lively crowds.

Along the way, she could call out everyone’s name, greeting each person warmly.

Whether someone had a good temper or a bad one, everyone who saw her responded enthusiastically.

She was like a little sun in the winter, warming everyone around her.

“Yeah, I’ve come more than once.”

Looks like we’ve met again, my main DPS.
