"So the only way left is to break into prison?"
Yoimiya nodded, she had wanted to do this for a long time.
"Wait, Yoimiya, where are you going?"
"To break into prison?"
"Do you know where Master Zheng Sheng is imprisoned in the Shogunate's jail?"
"I don't know!"
Yoimiya said frankly, her serious expression not feigned.
This made Feng Yi helpless. If they didn't find out where Master Zheng Sheng was imprisoned, how could they break him out?
Wouldn't this be sending themselves to their doom... no, to lose their Visions?
Feng Yi quickly stopped Yoimiya. Although they were going to break into prison, preparation was still necessary.
As for finding out the location of Master Zheng Sheng's confinement and the military strength of the Shogunate's jail, Feng Yi already had suitable candidates in mind.
"Please wait patiently for a while. I will find someone to scout out Master Zheng Sheng's place of imprisonment. Once I have the information, we can discuss the prison break plan!"
Feng Yi said to comfort the anxious Yoimiya, then went out towards the Grand Narukami Shrine.
He had originally planned to go at midnight, but now he had to advance it.
Yoimiya watched Feng Yi's receding back, planning to make more incendiary fireworks to prepare for the prison break.
Grand Narukami Shrine.
"Is the Guuji here?"
Feng Yi arrived at the shrine, scanned the area, and did not find Yae Miko. He asked the shrine maiden, Kano Nana, standing nearby.
"The Guuji is bathing. Mr. Feng Yi can wait in the side hall. I will inform the Guuji."
Kano Nana nodded slightly and replied softly.
"By the way, shrine maiden, do you know where Sayu is? I have something to ask her..."
"Sayu? If nothing unexpected happens, she should be sleeping in her room right now. See, in that room over there. Mr. Feng Yi, unless it's something extremely important, I suggest you don't wake her up right now. Uh, Sayu has a very bad temper when woken up..."
Kano Nana pointed to a room in the distance and kindly reminded him.
For Sayu, sleeping was the most important thing in life. If she was woken up while sleeping, she would inevitably nag for a long time.
Of course, Guuji Yae was an exception.
"Thank you for the reminder. I have something very important to ask Sayu."
Feng Yi nodded and thanked Kano Nana for the reminder. After all, for reconnaissance and infiltration missions, no one was more suitable than Sayu.
Seeing that Feng Yi had made up his mind, Kano Nana said no more, nodded, and left, heading towards Guuji Yae's bathing room.
Feng Yi followed Kano Nana's directions to the door of Sayu's resting room.
"Sayu? Sayu? Sayu, open the door, I have something to ask for your help!"
Feng Yi knocked on the door, but after calling for a long time, he received no response.
He pressed his ear to the door and listened carefully. He could hear Sayu's steady breathing of sleep from inside the room.
Feng Yi apologized and then pushed the door open.
"Little tanuki, wake up quickly, Arataki Itto is here!"
Feng Yi poked the sleeping Sayu, using Arataki Itto to scare her.
But Sayu was completely unmoved. She even turned over and continued her sweet slumber.
"Sayu, Guuji Yae is here!"
As a last resort, Feng Yi had to use his trump card.
Feng Yi whispered the words "Guuji Yae" in Sayu's ear. Sayu immediately woke up, sat up, and looked around.
Seeing that Guuji Yae was not in the room, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's great that Guuji Yae isn't here!"
Sayu had just dreamed that Guuji Yae appeared in her dream, staring at her with a smile. Such a nightmare had scared her awake.
Fortunately, it was just a dream.
"Huh? Why are you in my room? Has the Grand Narukami Shrine fallen?"
Still groggy, Sayu instantly realized that there was someone else in the room, and the lingering sleepiness vanished in fright.
Upon closer inspection, wasn't this the owner of that bubble tea shop? She had seen her before when Guuji Yae sent her to buy bubble tea.
"Hi, lit... Sayu, shrine maiden Kano Nana told me to find you here. Listen, I have something to ask for your help..."
Feng Yi suppressed the urge to call her "little tanuki," as he was asking for a favor.
"Did the shrine maiden betray me? How could this be?!"
Sayu sat on the bed, hugging her pillow, looking distressed. She hadn't expected to be betrayed by the shrine maiden.
"Sayu, I want to ask you to go to the Shogunate military prison to investigate the location where someone is being held... Of course, I won't let you help for nothing. As a reward, you can have free bubble tea from Pupu Tea Shop from now on!"
Feng Yi smiled, trying to tempt Sayu with bubble tea.
"Overtime? Sayu will never work overtime. Working overtime is worse than sleeping. Sayu is already very tired from her usual work. If she works overtime, she'll have even less time to sleep. How will Sayu grow taller then?"
Sayu waved her hand. Bubble tea was good, but compared to sleeping and growing taller, Sayu had her priorities.
Feng Yi's forehead was covered in black lines. Did she even have a job?
Was her job to be lazy and sleep?
"Phew— If there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep. Oh, and don't secretly pat my head while I'm sleeping!"
Sayu yawned, then hugged her pillow and fell back onto the bed. Within three seconds, snores could be heard.
Feng Yi was somewhat helpless at Sayu's laid-back attitude. Did he really have to ask Yae Miko for help?
Wouldn't that be too cruel to Sayu?
"Feng Yi, Nana told me you were with Sayu. Is something the matter?"
Just then, a pleasant fragrance wafted from behind, and at the same time, Yae Miko's slightly lazy and seductive voice sounded.
"Yes, I wanted to ask Sayu to scout the Shogunate military prison for someone's whereabouts, but..."
Feng Yi's voice trailed off. He believed Yae Miko would understand his intention.
"So that's how it is... Then leave this to me, little Sayu..."
Yae Miko gave Feng Yi a reassuring smile, then stepped forward and pinched Sayu's sleeping little face.
Sayu, who was asleep, trembled all over when she heard Yae Miko's voice, then her eyes shot open in terror.
"Damn Feng Yi, you actually called Guuji here! You've ruined Sayu's sweet dream!"
Sayu looked at Feng Yi angrily.
She didn't dare to be angry at Guuji Yae, so she directed all her fury at Feng Yi.
Feng Yi looked helpless. He did want to ask Yae Miko to intervene, but that was just a plan. Yae Miko had come on her own.
"Little Sayu, I came here myself. You'll have sweet dreams again later, but for now, I have something you need to resolve..."
