"I'll do it! But you'd better let me see the manga today."
For Inazuma.
For Mount Yougou.
For the Grand Narukami Shrine.
For the sake of slacking off in the future.
Yae Miko endured it.
Since she was going to do it, she naturally couldn't be perfunctory. She summoned a shrine maiden to bring a basin of clean water and simply gave Su Han a full set of services.
Enjoying a beauty washing his feet felt extremely good.
Of course, there was one prerequisite: don't look down.
Otherwise, you would see the fox gritting her teeth in frustration.
After massaging him back and forth for two full hours, Yae Miko finally stood up. She reached out her hand to Su Han and said, "The manga."
They had known each other for a long time.
Yae Miko naturally knew Su Han's abilities.
As long as he created it, the manga could be printed.
Now that she had put in the work, it was time to reap the reward.
"Here."
Su Han did not drag things out and tossed over the story of Inuyasha.
Just by looking at the cover,
Yae Miko knew the manga perfectly fit the theme. Opening the title page, there was Su Han's message, which had almost become his signature feature.
Basically, every manga had a main theme.
And Inuyasha's main theme was: protection.
At the beginning of the story,
there was a description of the Four Souls. The so-called Four Souls were: the Aramitama, Nigimitama, Kushimitama, and Sakimitama.
This had a very close connection with Inazuma's cultivation methods.
Although monsters from Liyue and Inazuma were both monsters, in terms of strength and origin, those from Inazuma were somewhat more lowly.
A comb.
An umbrella.
Chopsticks.
All of them could become monsters.
As for Liyue, simply put, they were no longer called monsters, but rather something more sacred: Adepti.
That was the difference.
The story began with a female student being dragged into the bottom of a well by a mysterious monster, only to be transported to a village five hundred years in the past.
"This setting is quite novel. Did you take inspiration from yourself?"
After getting the manga, Yae Miko's anger naturally subsided.
Now, she was even in a good mood and started chatting.
Su Han nodded and said, "There are some similarities. In any case, creating a story works like this, using existing materials to imagine, and then a new story is born."
"So, the protagonist of your story… could it be this girl named Kagome?"
No matter how Yae Miko looked at her, she felt the girl was hardly suited for a major role.
If Su Han were the protagonist and Lady Kitsune Saiguu were the supporting character,
that would be somewhat inconsistent with their character settings.
Looking at the puzzled fox, Su Han stood up and said, "Keep reading. You'll come to like it."
"What are you going to do? It's already very late."
"I'm going to Inazuma City. Since the manga is updated, it needs to be sold as soon as possible."
Although he had obtained two special treasures here, it was far from enough.
He had to continue selling.
With that, he flew down the mountain.
Meanwhile, Yae Miko continued reading.
The girl named Kagome, after traveling through time, was still being chased by monsters, but she accidentally unsealed a monster named Inuyasha.
Not only was he powerful, but he was also extremely fierce.
He was nothing like Su Han at all.
Later, the Shikon Jewel was accidentally shattered.
Kagome and Inuyasha embarked on a journey to recover its fragments. During this time, Inuyasha's older brother, Sesshomaru, made his appearance.
He was not only handsome, but also very powerful.
However, when trying to seize Tessaiga, this noble young master failed.
He even lost one of his arms.
Only at the end of the first volume did Yae Miko see a figure resembling Lady Kitsune Saiguu. She was Kagome's past life, the shrine maiden Kikyo.
"So that's how it is."
Yae Miko suddenly understood.
Summoning souls from grave soil, this setting was truly interesting, worthy of a great author.
But tragically, Kikyo revived for the sake of revenge, and she had only one wish.
To destroy Inuyasha.
However, all of this changed with Kagome's awakening, which nearly led to Kikyo's destruction.
Thus ended the first volume.
After reflecting on it, Yae Miko's lips slowly curved upward. She commented, "Compared to other manga, this one progresses faster. It probably isn't a long epic, but both the content and plot fit Inazuma's background. It's truly a good work."
The story continued.
After encountering the shrine maiden Kikyo,
Inuyasha and Kagome continued to wander the Warring States era, slaying one monster after another and witnessing countless tragedies.
During this time, Kikyo's past was finally revealed.
She was an incomparably pure and kind shrine maiden.
Although she took it upon herself to save the world, she ultimately fell because of Onigumo.
As the saying goes, even evil people have their own desires.
Before dying, Onigumo used his overwhelming resentment to transform into a terrifying half-demon.
The second part of the story was extremely intense in terms of combat.
The appearance of Naraku further intensified the conflict between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.
The two brothers fought fiercely over their father's weapon, but in reality, Tessaiga belonged to Inuyasha.
Even though Sesshomaru tried to take it, he could not succeed.
At the end of the volume, the Wind Sorceress Kagura made her appearance.
Looking at this cunning monster, Yae Miko's face darkened. She felt that Su Han was using this character to mock her.
"Why does Lady Kitsune Saiguu get to be noble and radiant, while I have to play such a role? I refuse to accept this!"
The mischievous fox became more and more annoyed. She turned and headed toward the bedroom to complain.
However, the moment she entered, she was stopped by Kitsune Saiguu.
"Miko, why are you here? Oh right, I almost forgot something important today."
"What is it, Lady?"
"It's about the shrine maiden techniques. Su Han gave me a treasure."
Kitsune Saiguu briefly explained the situation and handed the techniques to Yae Miko, hoping she would pass them down as the Grand Narukami Shrine's inheritance.
Yae Miko took the cultivation manual, flipped through a few pages, and could not help but exclaim, "These… aren't these the techniques from the manga? Wait, you're saying Su Han gave this?"
"Yes. He said they are ancient shrine maiden cultivation methods. The spells inside are quite important for us. You can also try cultivating them."
Although Kikyo was just a shrine maiden, merely an ordinary human,
her strength was undeniable.
Ordinary shrine maidens might not reach her level, but they would definitely surpass their current techniques.
Yae Miko knew this very well.
Instantly, she felt that washing Su Han's feet and giving him a massage was not a loss at all. For this one set of inherited techniques, even giving him a hundred massages would be worth it.
"Sigh, I wonder where he gets so many treasures. If we had these inheritance techniques earlier, I wouldn't have had to endure the arrogance of those mortals."
Monster techniques could not be cultivated by humans.
This was true not only in Liyue, but also in Inazuma.
But the techniques in her hands could be cultivated by both monsters and humans.
Yae Miko felt very puzzled as to why Su Han had not left such things behind five hundred years ago.
Kitsune Saiguu saw through her thoughts and comforted her, "Su Han has his own difficulties. And even if he had left them behind, what was meant to happen would still have happened."
"You're right. Sigh… what's past is past."
Yae Miko left the courtyard with the techniques and then gathered the shrine maidens to begin cultivating the new methods.
Meanwhile, in Inazuma City,
Su Han took out the manga and began selling it. This time, he printed thirty thousand copies, and they would probably sell very quickly.
After all, the themes of shrine maidens and monsters
had a very large market in Inazuma.
It was originally evening.
But when the editors saw the manga, they felt it was worth staying up all night to sell it.
Su Han asked in surprise, "Don't you need to rest?"
"Sir, this manga is just too amazing. It's as exciting as Adventure King. How could we rest?"
"Exactly. Just wait, we'll sell twenty thousand copies for you today!"
"That's right, that's right. Luming, bring people and start selling!"
Some editors pushed carts, some brought assistants, and others beat gongs and drums.
The previously quiet streets began to echo with promotions for the new manga.
"Come take a look! Boss Su's brand-new manga based on Inazuma: shrine maidens, monsters, swordsmen, it has everything!"
"The price is only 2,000 Mora, fair for all ages!"
"Want to know the story of shrine maidens from five hundred years ago? Want to know Inuyasha's story? Everything is in the manga!"
"Supernova manga, Inuyasha, is here! Let's embark on the journey of the Shikon Jewel!"
The cries continued.
The citizens who had already gone to rest came out of their homes.
They were extremely curious about the new manga.
One young girl pulled her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I want to read Inuyasha!"
"Alright, alright. I'll buy two copies."
When the woman was younger, she had once had the chance to be selected as a shrine maiden, but unfortunately failed for various reasons.
Now, hearing about a manga with a shrine maiden theme,
she loved it immensely.
Lights blazed brightly.
On the streets, buyers came in an endless stream.
After the Sakoku Decree, the night market had completely shut down, and everyone operated underground.
But Su Han's Inuyasha broke the taboo.
In less than an hour,
ten thousand copies were sold, and the speed was still increasing.
Not only humans were buying, but the monsters were not to be outdone.
For monsters like Five Hundred Storehouse, although some monsters were evil, Inuyasha was also a monster, yet he was good.
It was the same as humans having both good and bad.
As more and more people bought the manga,
Su Han simply did not go home and directly printed the third and fourth volumes.
Thus, the entire night became lively.
Inside a pavilion of the Commission Headquarters,
Kamisato Ayaka looked at the bustling atmosphere and could not help but say with relief, "Brother, do you think Inazuma will return to its former prosperity if this continues?"
"That is certain. However, we must remain cautious. There is always a period of calm before a storm."
"Mm, I understand."
Now, the Kamisato siblings' training intensity was astonishing.
Not only had both mastered Armament Haki, they had also begun to grasp Observation Haki.
Although they had not fully awakened it yet,
their strength had increased tenfold compared to before.
This was the power of Haki.
Kujou Sara, who had been about to rest, rushed to the scene after hearing the news.
Looking at the joyous scene under the bright lights,
this usually cold general could not help but smile.
"I think this is what the real Inazuma should be."
If eternity was a wasteland, then she would rather risk her life to remonstrate.
Before, Su Han had only changed her way of thinking.
But now, Kujou Sara understood what path she should take.
Just as she was lost in thought, a figure silently appeared beside her.
"How has the Shogun been lately?"
Without turning her head, Kujou Sara said, "Everything is just as you predicted. The Shogun's emotions are very unstable. You can tell just by looking at the thunder in the sky. I'm curious what you plan to do next. Are you going to challenge the Shogun directly?"
At present, the Shogun could still endure.
But when more and more people began to resist, she would eventually have to make a decision.
Hearing this, Su Han smiled lightly and replied, "Then let her face the cruel reality. If an old friend who died five hundred years ago were to appear, do you think she could remain indifferent?"
The reason Raiden Ei was so cold was because Yae Miko, to her, was only a junior.
But Kitsune Saiguu was different.
She was a true companion who had been by her side for countless years.
