After arriving on the outlying island, Thomas never forgot his responsibilities.

He is born with a good temper, so he can get along well in many circles.

His broad communication, precise judgment, and just the right means allowed him to get acquainted with Zhong Ye, who was determined to pursue the mission.

Although Thomas is prospering on the outlying islands, there is always a label on him that cannot be removed - social practice.

This also made many people who followed him have always been wary of him, even though he was kind and gentle.

The only exception is the midfielder.

When he was young, he could be considered a rather ambitious man, and for a time he was a bit of a jerk in the Chengding Mansion.

But because he got involved in some disputes about right and wrong, the young and energetic man got on the wrong team. As a result, he not only lost everything, but was almost thrown into the sea and fed to the sharks.

Fortunately, the head of the family remembered that he had made a lot of contributions to the Hiiragi family and did not drive him away to death.

But all the status and wealth he once had no longer exist. He was also demoted to a servant and could only stay at the dock every day. He would only be called back when the mansion was short of people.

Since then, Nakano's state of mind has changed.

At least he is different from other people who follow the Hiiragi family wholeheartedly. He knows how to leave a way out for himself.

He knew that Thomas definitely had another purpose in coming to the outlying island.

But he still found the guy in this club and took the initiative to get acquainted with him.

"Mr. Toma, I have something important to do here. I don't need to drink. I can have a bowl of ramen instead."

The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, took the initiative to sit next to Thomas, and said aloud.

A tacit smile appeared on Toma's face, and after saying hello to the boss, he started chatting with him casually.

"Mr. Nakano, what happened today? The island looks much livelier than usual."

"The master of the family has ordered us to purchase fire water on the island. If Mr. Toma has connections, we must help."

Nakano didn't hide much of the situation and directly told Toma what he knew.

Because when the head of the family gave the order, he had no intention of hiding it.

Besides, as long as you make a little inquiry, you can find out what these servants are buying fire and water from everywhere, so there is no need to hide it.

"Sir Fengxing, are you going to switch to the wine business? I know a few Mondstadt businessmen, and they have some top-quality dandelion wine. Do you want me to introduce them?"

As he said this, Thomas was actually trying to find out deeper information.

Even though Nakano is just a servant, the relationship he had in the early years of the mission is still there, and he knows much more than ordinary servants.

A lot of information about Thomas was obtained from him.

"If the head of the family really wants to start a wine business, I don't mind connecting the dots, but... I might disappoint Mr. Thomas. I heard that he is giving gifts to friends.

It will not be sold."

Casual chatting seems to be of little nutrition, but in fact it also contains a lot of information.

"Oh? What kind of friend are you? Nakano-sama, you also know that I like to make friends the most. I wonder if you can introduce him to me?"

In fact, Thomas already knew who the friend Nakano mentioned was.

Although there are many people in Inazuma who like to drink alcohol, most of them drink drinks with lower alcohol content such as sake or dandelion wine.

Only a handful of people like high-alcohol drinks like water and fire, which can even be used as medical supplies.

Therefore, the decision to collect these drinks is probably due to that small group of people.

"Hahaha, Mr. Toma, you are joking. The friends of Lord Feng are not the kind of friends we stupid people can contact at will."

After taking the ramen from the stall owner, Nakano said as if he was mocking himself.

And his words also made Thomas show a thoughtful expression.

"That's right. Nakano-sama, please eat first. I've already paid for your noodles. I need to leave first."

Before finishing the Thor's stew in front of him, Thomas stood up.

The news he got from Nakano made him have no intention of eating anymore.

"Then thank you Mr. Thomas for your kindness."

Nakano waved his hand casually, as if greeting an old friend, and ate the ramen without raising his head.

What he is after is not the immediate interests, but the power behind Thomas.

He knew that just by following his current behavior, big things would happen in the future.

It is better to climb to a higher branch as soon as possible and leave yourself a way out.

...

Kamisato Yashiki.

Looking at the two secret reports in front of him, Kamisato Ayato fell into deep thought.

One is from the remote island, and the other is information from the ninja investigation in the final episode.

But both pieces of intelligence pointed to the same force - the Fools.

[Fools are buying alcohol on outlying islands through the demarcation and implementation. The purpose is unknown. I hope the owner of the family will be more careful.]

[A large number of fools and soldiers gathered on the beach near Kamisato Yashiki, and many mysterious mechanisms were set up along the coast, with unknown functions. 】

"Instructor, instructor, what do you want to do?"

Picking up the pen and summarizing the information, Kamisato Ayato thought about it.

Before Bai Luo returned to Dao Wife, although the Fools had always made small moves, they had never done anything in such a big way.

Therefore, the recent changes in the Fools' crowd are definitely inseparable from this important man.

A late-night visit, a large purchase of drinks, and a large number of soldiers gathered on the beach near Kamisato Yashiki...ωωw..net

These things don't seem to be directly related.

But if it comes from the hands of that executive, it is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Brother, are you still worried about what happened before?"

After knocking on the door of the study room, Kamisato Ayaka walked in wearing casual clothes and carrying tea.

After losing the aura of the eldest lady in the gods during the day, she behaved more like a little girl in front of her brother.

"Not really, it's just some government affairs."

Kamisato Ayato knew how terrifying Shiro was to his sister.

So he told a little lie.

However, although he hid Toma's secret letter and the information about the final episode, some of the words left on the paper were seen by Kamisato Ayaka.

"Water fire? Is that a kind of drink in the winter?"

After passing the tea to his brother, Kamisato Ayaka asked curiously.

She, who often acted as the face of the Kamisato family, had seen this thing before, but she never imagined that there were people who would drink this kind of thing as wine.

"Well, it's interesting to say that this kind of wine was originally used for disinfection, and it can also be regarded as a strategic item..."

Speaking of this, Ayato Kamisato seemed to have thought of something and was stunned.

Next, cold sweat suddenly soaked through my back.

yes!

Because everyone in the winter was drinking this stuff, he almost forgot about it.

This thing called fire water is also a strategic material.

It can even be used as disinfectant alcohol.
Chapter completed!
