Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: The Incredible Battle Situation

On the beach located between Yashiori Island and Kannazuka Island.

At this moment, the area was utterly devastated, with countless figures sprawled across the entire beach.

Even in the sea near the edge, many figures were floating.

These were all members of the Shogunate Army.

The only one still standing on the beach was The person wearing the Yellow Fox Mask, who was covered entirely in Geo Element.

If you had asked ten minutes ago, no one could have predicted the situation would develop to this extent, could they?

No one could have imagined that thousands of Shogunate Army soldiers would be crushed by a single person, could they?

Yuuko glanced at the dense figures lying on the ground, then looked toward Kujou Sara, who was lying there with her clothes slightly tattered.

He let out a small breath, preparing to leave.

But at that moment, Kujou Sara opened her eyes and spoke in a weak voice:

"Yellow Fox... do you really intend to destroy Inazuma..."

In the past, Kujou Sara would never have said such a thing, nor would she have believed that anyone could pose a threat to Inazuma.

But after experiencing the battle just now, her common sense was completely overturned... she had witnessed the irrational power possessed by Yuuko... that was simply not power that an ordinary human should possess... Therefore, while regretting her actions, Kujou Sara also began to worry about Inazuma's future.

Although Inazuma currently has its share of problems, it is still the nation where Kujou Sara grew up.

No matter what, she did not want her nation to suffer disaster.

Looking at the exhausted Kujou Sara with complex eyes, Yuuko shook his head:

"I don't plan to destroy Inazuma, nor do I have any interest in it. However, I might conduct a great cleansing of Inazuma."

After speaking, Yuuko squatted down beside Kujou Sara, making eye contact with her, and slowly said:

"Believing in a god does not mean blindly trusting your god. The Vision Hunt Decree was wrong, and that is a fact."

"General Kujou, if you have the chance later, why don't you go take a look at the streets of Inazuma City?"

"See what Inazuma City has become?"

"Incidentally, because of the Vision Hunt Decree, far too many scoundrels have emerged within your Tenryou Commission."

"If your Tenryou Commission does not conduct a cleansing soon, it will likely cause another large-scale wave of discontent in the future."

"Regarding this, General Kujou, do you think I am wrong?"

Yuuko's words made Kujou Sara's expression grow increasingly complicated.

She found herself completely unable to refute Yuuko's words.

It was precisely because of this that Kujou Sara had been doubting herself and suffering these past few days.

Soon, Kujou Sara's hazy eyes slowly closed.

Finally... she fainted.

Seeing Kujou Sara pass out, Yuuko sighed again, then stood up.

At that moment, sounds echoed from behind him.

Gorou, along with the resistance soldiers he led, had arrived as reinforcements.

However... the moment the reinforcing soldiers arrived and saw the chaotic scene, everyone froze in astonishment.

Every person couldn't believe the scene they were witnessing, constantly rubbing their eyes.

But no matter how many times they rubbed them, what they saw remained the same.

The entire beach was covered with fallen Shogunate Army soldiers, while Yuuko stood there completely unscathed... At this point, a resistance officer beside Gorou nudged him and whispered weakly:

"General Gorou... when did Mister Yellow Fox get ahead of us..."

"Shouldn't we have been the first batch of reinforcements..."

"And... did Mister Yellow Fox... solve all the Shogunate Army soldiers by himself?"

Gorou swallowed, unable to answer the question.

Because Gorou didn't know what was happening either.

The overturning of his internal common sense left Gorou unsure whether he should trust what he saw.

Just as the group was in a state of shock, Yuuko began walking toward them.

And he said to Gorou:

"Gorou, I have dealt with the Shogunate Army. As for the rest of the troops, I just confirmed that most are only injured and unconscious; there are no fatalities."

"Okubo Daisuke is the most severely injured. Until the very last moment, he held the line, preventing the Shogunate Army from stepping into Yashiori Island's territory."

"Kokomi is also leading people here. I will leave the rest of the matters for Kokomi to handle."

"Also, tell Kokomi for me that these resistance officers who held the line are excellent, and make sure they are treated well."

Gorou was stunned, then nodded: "Uh... understood... Mister Yellow Fox..."

But by the time Gorou reacted, Yuuko had already vanished.

"Uh... where did he go..."

Gorou and the resistance soldiers wore looks of astonishment and confusion.

They clearly didn't understand how a person could suddenly disappear.

Of course, what shocked them the most was that Yuuko had defeated thousands of Shogunate Army soldiers by himself!

However, Gorou was a general of the resistance, and his reaction speed was swift. He shook his head hard and immediately gave the order:

"We must first move our comrades and send them for treatment!"

"As for these Shogunate Army soldiers, we will wait for Lady Sangonomiya to arrive before making a decision!"

...On the other side, behind the now-ended battlefield, Sangonomiya Kokomi and Yae Miko were leading the second batch of urgently assembled reinforcements.

They were rushing toward the battlefield location.

However, along the way, the expressions of everyone, including Sangonomiya Kokomi, were slightly odd.

The reason was that they had set off at the same time as Yuuko to provide support.

Yet, in an instant, Yuuko's trace was gone... Seeing Sangonomiya Kokomi's strange expression, Yae Miko chuckled wickedly:

"Hehe, seeing you react like that makes me feel better. The first time I met Mister Yellow Fox, I had pretty much the same reaction."

Sangonomiya Kokomi turned to Yae Miko and asked:

"Guuji Yae, does Mister Yellow Fox perhaps possess a special method of movement? When he disappeared, I couldn't sense any trace of his departure; it was as if he vanished into thin air..."

Yae Miko smiled: "Want to know?"

Sangonomiya Kokomi nodded seriously.

"I don't know either~"

Sangonomiya Kokomi stared speechlessly at Yae Miko for a long time before sighing:

"Guuji Yae, didn't you say earlier that you had a close relationship with Mister Yellow Fox?"

Yae Miko spread her hands: "It was just a joke. I don't have the capacity to become acquainted with someone like him."

Sangonomiya Kokomi was speechless once again.

The more she interacted with Yae Miko, the more she discovered how mischievous this woman was... Afterward, the group continued their journey.

While traveling, Sangonomiya Kokomi seemed to be deep in thought and spoke to Yae Miko again:

"Guuji Yae, do you think Mister Yellow Fox possesses the strength to contend with the Raiden Shogun?"

Although Kokomi had heard many rumors about Yellow Fox, she had never personally witnessed him take action.

So now, she couldn't help but be curious.
