Capítulo 12: Chapter 12: The Great Purge of Inazuma
Miko felt a tinge of resentment in her heart.
"Why do they only think of me when there's trouble, and then toss me aside when everything's fine? And they toss me aside for five hundred years, no less. What am I supposed to do? As a little fox, all I can do is lie here and watch."
Of course, this was just her inner thoughts. With her delicate hands, she continued massaging Indra's shoulders as she spoke.
"The Celestial gods are right; the chaos in Inazuma is entirely their fault."
Yae Miko knew that much of the blame for Inazuma's current state lay with Ei. However, it was necessary to push all of Ei's negligence onto those parasites.
Otherwise, how would the people of Inazuma view their gods?
In her eyes, Ei didn't know how to govern at all; she was just a warrior. The one who knew how to govern was the real deal who left five hundred years ago.
"So, do evil all your life and let your descendants enjoy prosperity? Truly wishful thinking. They are nothing but parasites, traitors to Inazuma."
"I believe all their family names should be erased from Inazuma's history, their assets confiscated, and their family members dealt with."
Hearing such cold words from the shrine maiden, Kamisato Ayato couldn't help but swallow.
It was terrifying.
The noble families of Inazuma cared most about their heritage, property, and descendants.
This would eradicate the nobles from their roots.
He could already foresee rivers of blood.
"Isn't that too cold-blooded? Their ancestors did bleed and make contributions for Inazuma," Raiden Ei couldn't help but say.
"Cold-blooded? What do their ancestors' contributions have to do with these parasites? Moreover, look at the chaos in Inazuma now; their ancestors' contributions have long been squandered by them, and they owe the people countless blood debts," Yae Miko sneered.
Thinking of Inazuma's current chaotic state, any remaining compassion in Ei's heart vanished completely.
Even if their ancestors had bled and made contributions for Inazuma, that was their ancestors.
"Of course, killing all those family names would result in too many deaths. The guilty should be executed publicly, those with mixed records should be exiled to Yasuyori Island to mine, allowing them to contribute to Inazuma in another way, and those with more contributions than faults should become commoners," Miko continued.
"A bit harder," Indra said, enjoying Miss Fox's massage.
"Yes, my lord," Yae Miko responded helplessly.
"I just arrived in Inazuma; of course, I want to explore the local culture and customs over the next few days. Miss Fox, can you be my tour guide?" Indra asked with a slight smile.
"I will certainly introduce you to Inazuma's cultural features properly," Yae Miko replied respectfully.
She couldn't bring trouble to Ei. If making this god from Celestia happy ensured Inazuma's crisis could be safely resolved, she had no choice.
Did she even have the right to refuse?
Seeing no response from Celestia, Ei stood up, her purple eyes glowing with an intimidating light.
"Sara, the Kanjou Commission, and the Shogunate's forces will now arrest all noble families and those colluding with the Fatui in Inazuma City."
"All enforcers will follow the divine orders. Those who resist will be struck by heavenly thunder."
As soon as she finished speaking, the sky over Inazuma darkened, filled with clouds and thunder.
Boom—
"Yes, General," Kamisato Ayato said firmly.
He knew that Inazuma was about to undergo a major purge.
And it was starting from the roots.
The loyalty of Inazuma's people to the Raiden Shogun was unwavering.
Even though Ei's isolation decree and Vision Hunt Decree had made their lives difficult, they harbored resentment but not hatred.
Once Ei's divine authority enveloped Inazuma, the Shogunate forces moved swiftly to capture the nobility throughout the land.
The noble families in Inazuma City were the first to be arrested, causing immediate uproar.
But as the Kanjou Commission posted official decrees from Tenshukaku all over Inazuma City, the public's reaction was one of shock, quickly turning into anger.
What? These noble families had colluded to deceive everyone?
The current state of Inazuma was unknown to the General because of their lies?
Even the isolation decree and Vision Hunt Decree were issued under their manipulation to exploit the General?
Moreover, the Raiden Shogun, under Miko's arrangement, issued an apology to the entire populace, admitting she had not been attentive to Inazuma's affairs, believing the false reports that everything was fine, and apologizing for her negligence.
A god apologizing to her people was unprecedented, and any lingering resentment towards her quickly turned towards the nobles.
How dare these nobles falsify reports to the General? Were they rebelling?
The suffering of the people was due to their deceit.
The General always had the people's welfare in mind; she couldn't be wrong. The fault lay entirely with the nobles.
Long-standing anger erupted among the people of Inazuma.
Armed with kitchen utensils and farming tools, they followed the Shogunate forces to storm the noble estates.
…
In the Kamisato estate.
Under Kamisato Ayato's orderly command, the Kanjou Commission confiscated the noble families' assets and food supplies.
These resources would be crucial for reviving Inazuma's economy and alleviating the food shortage.
Kamisato Ayato received report after report of confiscations.
Over the years, he had collected substantial evidence of the nobles' crimes, implicating seventy percent of Inazuma's families.
Many had oppressed him and his sister.
After their parents' deaths due to overwork, the Kamisato family struggled. Without the shrine maiden's protection, he and his sister wouldn't have survived.
Now it was time for revenge.
Without the nobles, Inazuma could look forward to a brighter future.
"Brother, I just returned from Inazuma City. Do you know the current situation?" Kamisato Ayaka hurriedly asked.
"Yes, Ayaka. I just returned from Tenshukaku and am carrying out the General's orders," Kamisato Ayato nodded, looking at his sister with mixed emotions.
He didn't want her involved in such a huge upheaval that would turn Inazuma upside down.
But Ayaka wasn't a sheltered girl; she was capable, sometimes making him feel guilty for not fulfilling his brotherly duties.
"I've seen the decrees, Brother. The Kanjou Commission has confiscated the nobles' assets. I want to allocate some of the grain to aid the people."
Her eyes were resolute.
"If you say so, I can't refuse," Ayato said reluctantly.
Over the years, land pollution and noble monopolies on land and grain had led to widespread starvation.
The Kamisato family had sold many assets to import grain from Liyue, but it was never enough. They were labeled as wastrels among the nobles.
Because of their unceasing efforts to aid the people, Ayaka earned the title of "Shirasagi Himegimi."
The Kamisato family had high standing among the common folk.
Meanwhile, the conflict on Nazuchi Beach between the Watatsumi Army and Shogunate forces was interrupted by the descending thunder.
Boom—
