Crossover Anime: I'm Kasumigaoka Utaha's Brother

People were anticipating what would happen in the sky, unaware that their weak eyes could not withstand the midday sun.

Chapter 0311 Temporarily Paused

Still staring straight at the ground, effortlessly looking at its neck. Waiting for the sun, which gives life to this planet, to return to this land.

Thus, like ripe red plums, under Baili Xiao's will, the water vapor in the clouds, which had accumulated for six months of wind, frost, rain, and dew, continued to gather and turned into cold, rusty red water droplets.

Naturally, a bloody, iron-like rain began to fall.

Many people occupied any available space nearby that could shield them from the strange rain: teahouses, rooftops, inhabited houses, and so on.

In fact, just after the first weekend of the flower season in Tiegaiyun, the shrewd merchants and soldiers who had noticed the changes had already felt the tense atmosphere of the storm.

Visitors to Huadu could travel to the local area via bridges that had just been opened at the time.

Those tycoons and samurai who had long occupied the capital and believed that this change might be beneficial decided to buy and hoard various grains and supplies from towns and villages, waiting to sell them for a fortune.

Unexpectedly, this iron cloud has been covering the capital for half a year, all to ensure the stability of the flowers. Now everyone is panicking, and can only wait like dogs guarding a grave, hoping the dark clouds will clear and the sun will shine again.

However, the joys and sorrows between people are still inexplicable. The person who caused the incident broke into a high-rise apartment building where ordinary people couldn't even get in the door before.

Even amidst the hunger and cold of the capital, these nobles continued their lavish lifestyles, some throwing banquets, others composing poems and haiku. A celestial phenomenon unseen for a thousand years.

Compared to their miserable lives, those who witnessed all of this seemed to have something sprouted in their hearts.

This rain seems to have changed the local landscape.

The torrential rain lasted for three days and three nights before it stopped, and the Iron Curtain cloud that had covered the capital for six months also disappeared. Do you have a dream?

The shogunate army, having successfully completed the snake-hunting mission, offered sacrifices to the former shogun of the infamous Blacktan family, a family of great sinners.

They traversed the rusty, rain-soaked land and mountains, and crossed the now deserted, crimson river. As they slowly and victoriously entered the capital's territory...

What awaited them were civilians from Huadu, members of the "Ibuki~" Festival survivors organization who had returned to Huadu ahead of schedule.

They were ragged, emaciated, with dry, yellow hair, and tasteless from lack of water.

But their eyes were incredibly bright, dazzlingly bright. Like ripe red plums, like someone afflicted with a ghostly light disease.

"These are the people! It was this damned shogunate soldier who shot and killed Ibuki, the messenger of the Great God. This is the reason why the Great God sent blood rain to punish us!"

"It's that bastard! Look at the land of the capital. The plants and insects, soaked by blood and rain, have melted like ice! This land can no longer grow crops! It's all your fault! Because you shot the messenger of the Great Ming God!"

"That's right! It's all your fault! If we can't grow crops, we'll starve! Burn them, that's right! Burn them to death! Burn them for Ibuki Daimyojin, Daimyojin will surely forgive me!"

"Yes, that's it! Save Baili Xiao! Dedicate these people to the Great Ming God! Save the land!"

"That's right! Save Baili Xiao's backup group! Burn the Shogunate army! Burn them! Burn them!"

Seeing these frenzied civilians, chattering amongst themselves, the shogunate soldiers timidly took a step back, and the civilians took a step forward. One step back, and the civilians took another step forward.

I've heard of the horrific Ghost Lantern Disease. The shogunate soldiers who witnessed it were also terrified and turned to flee.

In the midst of the chaos, it was also surprising that the acting general appeared on Hinton's flag, exposed to the angry mob.

"Stop! Stop! This is General Lieutenant's order! Don't do it rashly! Don't do it rashly!"

However, nobody cared what the leader, who was standing at the forefront, said.

Conversely, the people of Huadu, those who ride horses and are stimulated by the rain, use pitchforks to stab their horses, and hoes and sickles to roughly divide themselves into two categories.

The real bloodshed must not only quell public anger, but also further ignite their fighting spirit; they must be stopped by the destruction of those superior to them.

"~Everyone, stop! Stop! Stop! Look at this. This is the pattern of the 'Eight Military Posts of Guangyue' using the Danzhu Crimson Feather Weaving technique, which we received from General Guangyue. This place is equivalent to the general's palace! Wait, stop! Wait, this is the emblem of the Guangyue family! Stop! Stop! Don't come any closer!"

In place of the missing acting general and his surname, the outer robe left behind by the acting general when he served in the military headquarters was taken out and held high in front.

Some people's steps may have temporarily stopped, but the suffering of the people of the capital city finally broke through the ideological seal that the Guangyue family had placed on people's names for generations in the eternal world of the harmonious country.

In the original historical trajectory, the name of the Harmony Kingdom was like Baili Xiao publicly cooking and killing Yue Yutian, and with the help of the "Beast Pirates", they concentrated their last strength to launch a general attack on Baili Xiao.

Baili Xiao deliberately asked those celebrities who left Guangyue whether they intended to submit to the Black Charcoal Beast Banner.

The hereditary name is, of course, "Generals who are not from the Guangyue family are not accepted by the local people!" he said righteously.

In the cycle of reincarnation. What's wrong? Do you want to see Niu Liaoqian jealous of Neon Xin invading the swamp?

"Doesn't the local government accept a general who isn't from the Guangyue family?"

No, this country doesn't need generals!

"Your Highness Baili Xiao, the imperial guards have completed their mission and are now over Yutian City. Please show them to me."

Chapter 0312 identifies it as an ancient species.

"Hehe, Dahei, you've worked hard. Calm down for a moment, monitor the movements of Daming Prefecture in Yutian City, and wait for contact from headquarters."

"Obey the royal family's orders."

A land of harmony, a city of flowers, beneath cherry blossoms, between Zuowu City and Heitan.

The snake heads, crowding the vast space where the general held court, climbed up and down the winding beams and pillars of the hall, like a group of snakes mating. Eight enormous faucets, their bright purple scales shimmering, were indistinguishable in their primary and secondary positions.

It was Bai Lixiao, a former general with whom he had cooperated, who had been living in seclusion here for half a year.

Being able to preserve a Devil Fruit for 6 months is also a valuable growth experience for Baili Xiao.

After carefully tasting the various strange beasts captured by Fu Lu Shou, who led the imperial court into the dangerous wilderness of Hehe Land, Baili Xiao felt his cells were well replenished with energy.

I'm very good at observing and watching, and I have a very domineering presence. At this moment, I have stepped into a new and unfathomable realm. From the center of Huadu, Baili Xiao can hear the movements of the entire nation's 453.

Although no clearer sounds could be heard, as long as the scope was limited to Huadu, the amount of information that Baili Xiao had collected was enough to exceed the total amount collected by everyone in the imperial court.

"Heh heh, it seems the favor owed to the Guangyue family has come to an end. The Guangyue birthday cake may be the Guangyue family's last resort. That is, provided that no unexpected hermit comes out to cause trouble. Mr. Fukurokuju, have we made all the arrangements?"

A thousand black-clad mothers led a serpent army of 20,000 men, ready to capture Zoucheng at any time.

“Gah haha, no need. No need. If we expose our military now, it will damage the image of Ibuki Daimyojin. But we must stand on the side of the common people. The awakening of the citizens of the capital is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We must take this opportunity to overthrow the ruling foundation of the Kōgaku family and put the middle and lower-class warriors and the lower-class people into the hands of the Kurozumi family.”

As he spoke, Baili Xiao withdrew from his fully beastly form, which had lasted for six months, and slowly transformed back into a human.

Even a slight movement would make him at least a master swordsman specializing in "skills." That way, he wouldn't do absurd things like grabbing a teacup because he's not used to his current body.

However, I haven't exercised for six months. When practicing swordsmanship, the body actually leans slightly backward.

"Mr. Fu Lu Shou, notify all members of the royal court on the ground to guide the citizens to storm Guangyue City. The effect of the 20% discount may be more intense than expected, and its duration may be shorter. I should take charge on the ground and let Chan focus on preparing for the exit performance for Moonlight's birthday."

"Obey the royal family's orders."

With the strong recommendation of the famous white dancer, Futatsuki Yasuie, he was appointed as an elder of the famous white dancer family in Mufu Town.

The new year arrived, he was promoted, and then went on to be a senior in high school, where he was directly appointed as an elder by the general.

Fast forward to Kurotan Muchan instead of the General, and Baili Xiao directly takes over as the acting General.

Having been secretly deployed for 0 years, the people of the peaceful land have accumulated a great deal of discontent with the shogunate.

However, the public's tolerance for the harmonious relationship between General Guangyue's family far exceeded Baili Xiao's expectations.

Even though Baili Xiao enacted a series of absurd laws to exploit the people under the guise of celebrating Guangyue's birthday, the people softened time and time again, choosing to understand the deeper meaning behind the absurd laws through their own efforts.

The public's trust in this Devil Fruit-like ability truly disgusted Baili Xiao once again.

From then on, Baili Xiao abandoned his initial plan to seize the position of general of the Guangyue clan through the shogunate. This plan was practically impossible to implement on home soil, as no general other than the Guangyue family would be accepted!

Using the simple religious belief that "all things have spirits" on the harmonious land, they retrieved the "mysterious story" of Hyakuri Akatsuki, which had been circulating at the time due to the large-scale brewing of wine that corrupted the lower-ranking samurai.

The creators of "Kurozumi Family Snake God: Daimyojin, Ibuki" avenge the Kōgaku family, allowing divine authority to overthrow feudal rule and gradually transforming the local area into a hellish path for the Kōgaku family's revenge.

To achieve this, at least one nation's citizens must completely lead Ibuki and Daimyojin. There's a sword, silkworms, a rotten sword, and an oval cloak. Is there an excuse?

Therefore, in order to change his mind due to the changes in his body, Baili Xiao not only activated his ability to summon clouds that would blot out the sky for six months, but also fundamentally changed the climate of the capital, causing this year's grain production to be almost zero.

First, the wilderness of the United Nations becomes dangerous and aggressive, and the inability to obtain food in the United Nations' rich natural environment reduces the possibility of accidents.

In the name of Zai Guangyue's family, the connections between towns and bridges supporting Huadu were severed, leaving the people with only sustenance through channels controlled by Baili Xiao, such as "Bao Wulang's family." This caused them to become thin and lethargic.

Finally, the imperial court fed the animals, birds, fruits, common species, and crested ibises that were frequently traded, and ordered people to bend the black oxen and transport large quantities of 80% wine from the ground to the clouds in the sky.

At that time, when the clouds and rain fall, the people of the land of mad harmony will turn to Ibuki Daimyojin.

This plan can only function properly if Baili Xiao now implements a legal system based on "divine right and monarchical authority." As long as the authority of Ibuki and the Great God is not overthrown, Baili Xiao can find another way to achieve his goal of "replacing the moon."

This rough plan suits Baili Xiao. It's just that the fruit Cade sent wasn't a true Ancient Bird Fruit, but rather one from a species on the verge of extinction in the distant seas. Furthermore, there were some errors in the morphology of the bird fruit, the common species, and the crested ibis, etc., meaning it could only be preserved in the Riverfire Kingdom and identified as an Ancient Species.

Chapter 0313 Going Home Soon

Due to a significant drop in productivity, Baili Xiao had to do everything in his power to prolong the cloud's existence. If it weren't for the bad boss serving so much tea, Baili Xiao's Devil Fruit ability would have already reached a new level.

Perhaps the only solution is to try to mobilize those in the capital who are short of fire-fighting resources.

If the temperature weren't high enough, Baili Xiao would have to force the Black Charcoal Woman to devour the people and attack Guangyue City. The effect certainly wouldn't be as good as it is now.

In the middle of the night, the citizens of Kyoto excitedly swept across the ring road with pitchforks and torches, and saw Baili Xiao looking contentedly in the direction of Kogetsu Castle.

The shogunate army that went to disrupt the Ibuki ritual was burned down in an attempt to save Hyakuri Akatsuki. These awakened citizens regarded the snake as the only official who could communicate with the daimyojin again, and as the only hope to appease the anger of Ibuki and the daimyojin and revive this land.

Driven by this sentiment, Baili Xiao easily united this rabble into a local crusaders. During the day, the crusaders looted the mansions of warriors and tycoons who refused to submit to the Black Charcoal Family, and after resting for a while...

He took advantage of the most effective time of night—the 20% discount on alcohol—to direct the Crusaders' anger at the foolish and incompetent modern general, Guangyue Xishou.

The giant serpent silently watched Light Moon City, before being set ablaze amidst the crowd's anger.

Incredibly, not a single shogunate samurai came to stop it, nor did a single loyal retainer of Kōgaku come to extinguish the fire. People sang songs dedicated to Ibuki Daimyo-gami around the burning Hiroki City.

They were in a daze, not even aware of what they were doing.

Looking at the warm campfire in front of him, Baili Xiao, who had been harboring resentment for a long time, also felt a sense of peace.

Thus, Mr. Guangyue Shao died with dignity. As an unruly tyrant, he died imprisoned in a castle burning with the people. Well, that was too lenient for him.

However, it was a good start. As for the part that wasn't enough as an appetizer, it would be best to make a salad using the light and moonlight from each village.

But the main course of the Kurotan family's revenge feast will definitely be you and the last generation of the Shining Moon family.

Meanwhile, on the coast of your homeland, a ship with a mermaid as its prow is a good step for you, a good step for you, a good step for you.

The last bright moon in this world will soon be going home.

Hanging on the sea, as the name suggests, means hanging on the sea.

The warrior kingdom, known as the "native warriors," was built on a huge island in the latter half of the new world of Granrean, suspended high above the sea.

Due to its unique topographical structure, this large island with a high elevation is shaped like a basin.

Starting from Zhongkong Island, a siphon effect is formed, continuously drawing seawater from the surrounding sea, overflowing from the sea within the basin to form a waterfall, and then returning to the surrounding sea.

This natural landscape, possibly related to planetary rotation, created a third natural line of defense for the river fire, in addition to the vast inland sea and towering waterfalls.
