"Naganohara Fireworks? What, has your Tenryou Commission involved innocent civilians now?"
Sara snapped back to reality.
Jack, standing before her, had just spoken those words.
Was it at this moment that he pulled me into the Mind Space?
Sara recalled the previous events, then replied.
"I have not informed anyone else about the information regarding this item. Naganohara Ryunosuke is currently safe."
"That's good."
Then Sara walked over to Jack and Kuki Shinobu, her gaze scrutinizing Kuki Shinobu up and down.
This young lady, who often came to the prison to bail people out, was rumored to be quite close to the Traveler as well.
Given that this guy had already hooked up with at least three people (in her opinion), Sara felt that Kuki Shinobu had a high chance of becoming her true sister.
So her tone became much gentler.
"Kuki Shinobu, are you here for a prison visit?"
"Yes, yes."
"I will investigate who instructed the guard who stopped you later. Now, go do what you originally intended to do."
"Okay, thank you, Sara-nee!"
Kuki Shinobu was a little overwhelmed; the great general of Inazuma actually called her Kuki Shinobu.
Although she had always tried to get close by calling her Sara-nee, being treated so intimately was a first.
Suppressing the strange emotion in her heart, Kuki Shinobu placed the food box she brought at the food delivery opening of Arataki Itto's cell.
On the other side.
Sara and Jack were looking at each other.
Jack winked at her.
Sara's face flushed, and she averted her gaze.
Then Jack stepped closer and whispered, "You really have the dignity of an older sister, Sara-chan~"
"No, don't call me such a strange nickname in front of others. Just call me Sara."
The outwardly cold Tengu lady, yet inwardly a pure maiden.
After being semi-forced to confront her inner desires by a certain someone, she had already become a soft and pampered little wife in love.
Jack, taking advantage of Kuki Shinobu and Arataki Itto's conversation, which went unnoticed, secretly bit her cheek.
Kiss~
Sara glared fiercely at him.
If it weren't for others being present, she wouldn't have dared to make a sound; she would have pulled out her bow and resisted long ago.
Jack found her coy resistance very amusing, so he repeatedly took liberties with her in the darkness.
Soon after.
From her face to her forehead, to her nose, and finally to her small mouth.
Every inch of her skin was imbued with Jack's scent.
"Enough, you need to know when to stop."
Sara was exasperated, warning the person who was pushing his luck in a hushed voice.
"Hmm, okay, but Sara, your mouth is so sweet. Did you eat something sweet before this?"
"No! Don't say another word!"
Seeing that Sara was genuinely at her limit of shyness, Jack finally stopped his rogue behavior and began to talk about serious matters.
"Regarding the matter you are investigating, I was the one who did it."
"You did it?"
Sara pressed her rapidly beating heart, looking Jack up and down suspiciously.
"As far as I know, the destruction at the scene was no less than that of a Archon-level power. Even the other Traveler, Lumine, would find it difficult to achieve such a level of power. Can you do it?"
"How many meanings does your 'can you do it' have?"
"??"
"If you're talking about combat power, even your beloved Raiden Shogun is not as powerful as I am in terms of pure destructive force right now; if you're talking about that kind of ability, I think you'll know if you try it yourself."
The slow-witted Sara took two seconds to react.
After understanding the deeper meaning, she was so embarrassed that she lifted her geta and stomped on Jack's feet twice.
"Hmph! You can't go three sentences without talking about matters between men and women. I'm starting to regret agreeing to you."
"Don't worry, after you try it, you won't regret it."
"You're still talking!!"
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything."
Jack raised his hands in surrender, like a boyfriend offering an insincere apology after making his girlfriend angry.
Sara exhaled a turbid breath, calming herself down slightly.
"Let's just assume you are the culprit in this case. So, you want me to release Arataki Itto?"
"Yes, after all, I controlled my power at the time, so it shouldn't have caused any impact on Inazuma's waters."
"In fact, while it's possible, if he's released without a trial, Arataki Itto will be considered an escaped prisoner."
"What if the Raiden Shogun herself orders his release?"
"This…"
Jack patted Sara's shoulder, but his hand suddenly slipped, landing on her chest.
The air instantly fell silent for about two seconds.
"Ahem! In any case, don't limit your thinking so much. Inazuma is a nation that walks with a god. Given my relationship with Ei, releasing a serious criminal is nothing! It won't be a problem!"
"...You better have truly just missed my shoulder when you patted it, hmph!"
Sara turned away, walking towards the prison cell as if fleeing.
Since Jack said he wanted to release him, she would do it.
Just as he said, under divine rule, the sins of mortals were but trivial matters.
...
Ten minutes later.
Jack used hypnosis again, leading the Arataki Gang out swaggeringly.
"Alright, Arataki Itto, you can go back with peace of mind. I'll handle the Raiden Shogun through a duel before the throne."
"This... Jack, no, Big Brother! That's the Raiden Shogun! How about I go back and gather the brothers from the Arataki Gang, and we'll go to Tenshukaku together to support you?"
"It's fine, trust Big Brother, Big Brother will return safely!"
"Big Brother! Wuwu, Big Brother, you must take care of yourself!"
"Alright, stop embarrassing yourself here!"
Kuki Shinobu couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Arataki Itto away with disdain towards the Arataki Gang's station.
After walking a few steps, she turned her head and mouthed.
"The Kimono Restaurant, two nights from now."
Jack smiled and nodded at her, indicating that he would arrive on time.
"They've all left, what are you still doing here?"
"Want to spend more time with Sara-chan, is that not allowed?"
"Suit yourself, as long as it doesn't interfere with my work."
"Work? At this hour, Sara, what work do you still have?"
Kujou Sara was stunned.
Originally, her work, or rather, the work she applied for from the Raiden Shogun, was to guard the serious offender, Arataki Itto.
To prevent that idiot from revealing anything detrimental to Jack.
But now that Arataki Itto had escaped right under her nose, she seemed to have lost the meaning of returning.
So she looked up at the sky and, on a whim, invited Jack.
"Then... that, my work is indeed finished. It's so late, do you want to..."
"Yes!"
"I haven't finished speaking yet?!"
"Do I need to finish speaking about something like this? Aren't you inviting me to your house for the night?"
I was inviting you for a late-night snack, you bastard! You're taking advantage too much!
Kujou Sara looked at Jack with shame and indignation.
But Jack just stared into her eyes shamelessly.
After only a few tens of seconds of eye contact.
Kujou Sara blushed and gave in.
She said helplessly, "Alright, follow me. My house is near Tenshukaku."
"Hehehe."
Jack took a few steps forward and grasped her soft hand.
Kujou Sara sighed resignedly, letting him play with and caress it.
She knew what was going to happen next, after all, she wasn't completely ignorant.
Worry, fear, shyness, excitement... all kinds of emotions intermingled, finally transforming into loyalty to Narukami.
General, let me explore the path for you, and test the length of this man!
