Genshin Impact: The 12th Fatui Harbinger

Chapter 230 - 228: Tricking Arataki Itto

Who is Miss Sara?

Anyone on the main street knows this is the name of the current general of the Tenryou Commission.

To dare to put this bill on Lord Kujou's tab, this person must be...

"Hmm?"

After seeing the person's attire, Shimura Kanbei was relieved.

As someone who had been doing business on the main street for many years, he had long heard a rumor.

Lord Kujou Sara has a boyfriend.

Not only had the two of them visited Miss Naganohara's shop under the public eye, but they had also intimately shared the same skewer of dango at Uyuu Restaurant.

Even the head of the Kujou Clan, Kujou Takayuki, had turned a blind eye to their behavior, and there were even rumors that the two were already engaged.

However, this rumor gradually died down with the disappearance of this white-haired man.

He didn't expect him to appear again.

"Alright, thank you for your patronage, young man."

With this in mind, he was no longer surprised that this white-haired man would say "put it on Miss Sara's tab."

"I'm saved! If it weren't for you, I... ahem, this great one could have definitely figured out a way to solve it, but I still have to say thank you."

Following Bai Luo into a less crowded alley, Arataki Itto was still being stubborn.

In fact, Bai Luo knew very well that with his status as an Oni, if he were caught by the Tenryou Commission, it would definitely be more than just dining and dashing.

Fortunately, he knew the owner of Shimura's well enough to know that he probably wouldn't report it to the Tenryou Commission over such a small matter, but he would definitely make Arataki Itto stay and wash dishes for half a day.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Luo. I'm a well-known philanthropist in the surrounding area."

"Hahahahaha! It seems you and I are indeed fated to meet! This great one's name is also renowned far and wide! Arataki 'The One and Oni,' Itto; Arataki 'Sumo King,' Itto; Arataki 'Pride of the Oni,' Itto; Arataki 'Onikabuto Gladiator,' Itto; Arataki 'King of Card Games,' Itto; Arataki 'Can Lose But Will Never Admit Defeat, a True Man,' Itto... these are all my commonly used names. You can pick one you like and call me whatever you want. Don't be shy, hahahaha."

Although Arataki Itto laughed heartily, from his somewhat dazed expression, it was clear that reciting such a long string of names had probably made him a bit oxygen-deprived.

"Oh, Aratto, is it?"

"Uh... actually, you can also take the first two words and the last two words and call me..."

"Call you 'Hahahaha'?"

In Arataki Itto's sentence, the first two words were "haha" and the last two words were also "haha."

Looked at this way, Bai Luo hadn't called him wrong.

"Forget it, you should just call me Arataki Itto."

"Alright, Hahahaha."

"..."

"It's rare to see an Oni in Inazuma City. Did you get separated from your friends?"

Looking at the hearty Oni before him, Bai Luo also put away his teasing thoughts and asked.

If he remembered correctly, there should have been another person with Arataki Itto.

"Sigh, that Shinobu, she was following this great one just fine, but somehow she suddenly got lost. What a subordinate who makes her boss worry."

Speaking of this, Arataki Itto sighed again.

If it weren't for her, would he have ended up in such a predicament? It seems he'll have to have a good talk with her when he gets back. Otherwise, as the boss of the Arataki Gang, would he still have any face?

"..."

Bai Luo didn't speak, but subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the main street.

If he remembered correctly, when he passed by there just now, he saw a little girl who looked very similar to Yoimiya but had green hair, constantly looking for a spirited Oni youth.

The words she was saying... were very similar to what this Arataki Itto was saying.

But as for which of the two had actually gotten lost, Bai Luo could still tell.

"Speaking of which, why are you eating in a place like this?"

Stealthily leading Arataki Itto in the opposite direction of the main street entrance, Bai Luo asked.

According to his intelligence, this Arataki Itto should be a frequent visitor to Hanamizaka.

"Oh, actually, this story starts a few days ago. At that time, our Arataki Gang wanted to go to Ritou for some fun, but there was a checkpoint set up there that wouldn't let people in and out freely, so we came back. Who knew that on the way, we saw a bonfire and some roasted Lavender Melons that someone had left behind."

When he mentioned the roasted Lavender Melons, Arataki Itto paused for a moment and continued to add.

"Although we ate those roasted Lavender Melons, we left some Mora at the fox statue nearby. I remember I once met a shrine maiden there. It must have been her who left them, right? Anyway... there was one faded Lavender Melon that tasted very sour. I felt sick for a long time after eating it! That thing was even more terrifying than beans. So today..."

Hmm?

—Today, I seem to have come to buy things with Shinobu.

Shinobu said she was going to buy Lavender Melons and told me not to wander off.

And then I followed the smell of udon noodles to that shop called Shimura's.

"I'm doomed! It wasn't Shinobu who got lost! It was me!"

Clutching his head with both hands, Arataki Itto's face was filled with panic.

He had finally realized that he was the one who had gotten lost. When he wanted to go back and find Kuki Shinobu, he found that he had already been led to a strange place by Bai Luo.

"Brother Bai, what is this place?"

"A good place. Just follow me."

In fact, when Arataki Itto mentioned seeing the bonfire and roasted Lavender Melons on his way back from Ritou, Bai Luo realized that the roasted Lavender Melons the Arataki Gang had seen must have been the ones he had left behind.

After all, the place where the shrine maiden stayed was on the only path from Ritou to Narukami Island.

And that faded Lavender Melon was the Sunset Berry he had left there.

He never thought... that someone would actually believe that thing was a Lavender Melon.

Since he had unintentionally harmed this Arataki Itto, he should compensate him.

In Arataki Itto's eyes, since Bai Luo had taken the initiative to pay his bill at Shimura's, he was now his good brother.

A good brother would definitely not betray him.

Besides, since he had said it was a good place, it couldn't be wrong.

Since he was already lost, he might as well go with him and take a look.

Maybe this Brother Bai would treat him to a good meal.

Under Bai Luo's guidance, the two of them avoided the patrols of the Tenryou Commission, climbed down the stone bridge, and walked along the cliff to the outside of a courtyard wall.

"Wow! Such a high courtyard wall! It must be a big family, right?"

Guess whose courtyard wall this is.

As a passionate and unrestrained Oni, he had done his fair share of wall-climbing.

But even the walls of the Tenryou Commission headquarters were not as high as the one before him.

Could it be the home of the Tengu, Kujou?

It seemed only her family's courtyard walls would be this high.

After leaning against the wall and listening carefully for a moment to confirm that there was no one on the other side, Bai Luo leaped lightly and climbed onto the top of the wall. He then waved to Arataki Itto below, signaling him to come up.

"Hey, climbing the tengu Kujou's wall, are we? This great one will not lose to anyone!"

With two loud thumps, Arataki Itto struck a sumo pose and charged towards the wall in front of him.

[A/N: Why do I have a feeling that Bai Luo perhaps brought Arataki Itto to somewhere dangerous]
