Miyashiro's intention was clear: he wanted to use his wedding as a gimmick, allowing the Yashiro Commission and the Grand Narukami Shrine to take the opportunity to host a grand celebration, attracting tourists from various countries to visit and enjoy themselves. Of course, the most important goal was to stimulate consumption.
In short, Miyashiro's goal was to have these tourists arrive with full wallets and leave with empty ones.
As a wedding for the Regent of a nation, Inazuma naturally had to treat it with great solemnity. Coupled with Miyashiro's connections, various foreign dignitaries would grace the event with their presence, further drawing public attention.
At such a time, if Inazuma could host a celebration that showcased Inazuman culture, it would not only stimulate consumption and boost tourism and commerce but also enhance Inazuma's reputation in Teyvat.
Thinking of this, Kuki Shinobu and Narukami exchanged glances, feeling that this idea had great potential, though the challenges would also increase exponentially.
This would be the first large-scale international celebration Inazuma had hosted since the Sakoku Decree was lifted. With limited experience, it would be a test of Inazuma's soft power.
Setting aside the specific details of the celebration's preparations, just handling the surge in tourists, security, fire safety, and other related tasks would be a huge test for the Yashiro Commission, Tenryou Commission, Kanjou Commission, and Grand Narukami Shrine.
Narukami, as if thinking of something, displayed her characteristic smile and asked, "In that case, may I decide the content of the celebration based on my own interests?"
Miyashiro heard this and knew what Narukami wanted to say. He smiled and replied, "You're talking about your Yae Publishing House, aren't you? Inazuma's light novels have already become a calling card for Inazuma. This celebration will last a long time, and I welcome all of you to actively and enthusiastically contribute your ideas."
Narukami nodded in satisfaction and said, "In that case, I accept."
Miyashiro then turned to Kuki Shinobu and said, "Kuki Shinobu, I'm counting on you for this. Oh, and please deliver a message to Kamisato Ayato for me: this celebration is your pledge of allegiance!"
Kamisato Ayato? Pledge of allegiance? Hearing that name from Miyashiro's mouth surprised Kuki Shinobu quite a bit.
Among Inazuma's three great clans, the Kujou Clan and the Hiiragi Clan had become historical dust, completely fallen, leaving only the Kamisato Clan. However, the Kamisato Clan did not become dominant; instead, it was firmly suppressed by Miyashiro and even lost its hereditary power.
Ever since Miyashiro was appointed Regent, Kamisato Ayato, the head of the Kamisato Clan, had been given the cold shoulder by Miyashiro. Although he still held a position in the Tri-Commission, his presence was extremely low.
As for the reason for the cold treatment, everyone knew it was because his actions during the Vision Hunt Decree had displeased Miyashiro. If he hadn't sided correctly at the last moment, the Kamisato Clan would likely have followed in the footsteps of the Kujou Clan and the Hiiragi Clan.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Kamisato Clan did not have the Regent's approval. It was uncertain when Kamisato Ayato might be removed from his position in the Yashiro Commission, and the Kamisato Clan would also suffer as a result. This also led the Kamisato Clan's affiliated families to harbor other ideas.
However, Kamisato Ayato was, after all, the head of the Kamisato Clan, and the Kamisato Clan was not solely dependent on him to shoulder its responsibilities. Kamisato Ayato was well aware of the problems facing his clan. Therefore, during this period, he had kept a low profile, not giving others any grounds for impeachment, quietly biding his time and waiting for an opportunity.
As for the work of the Yashiro Commission during this time, after diligently completing it, he attributed all the credit to his younger sister, Kamisato Ayaka. With this dual strategy, the power of the Yashiro Commission remained firmly in the hands of the Kamisato Clan, preventing its affiliated families from acting rashly.
And now, Miyashiro actually asked her to deliver such a message to Kamisato Ayato. Did Miyashiro intend to acknowledge the Kamisato Clan and prepare to give him an opportunity?
But why give Kamisato Ayato an opportunity?
At this moment, the quick-witted Kuki Shinobu quickly realized the crux of the matter must lie with Kamisato Ayaka, and her gaze towards Miyashiro became full of strangeness.
Her own Regent was young and vigorous, full of energy. He had been on a business trip to Sumeru for nearly two months. His first wife, Shenhe, was not present, nor were his second wife, Sara, or his third wife, Eula. Yet, he was accompanied by two beautiful women, Ayaka and Kokomi. If he could restrain himself, Kuki Shinobu would have to admire Miyashiro's willpower.
In Kuki Shinobu's estimation, Ayaka had probably already fallen. Otherwise, Miyashiro wouldn't have given Kamisato Ayato an opportunity as a pledge of allegiance for no reason. Perhaps the preparations for this celebration were all for the Kamisato Clan!
What about Kokomi? Had he also taken advantage of her?
As soon as she thought of Miyashiro's four secretaries, two of whom had already fallen, one was suspected to have fallen, and only she remained, Kuki Shinobu's heart was filled with panic. Didn't they say a rabbit doesn't eat the grass by its burrow? Why was this Regent specifically eating the grass by his burrow!
Miyashiro felt a little guilty under Kuki Shinobu's intense gaze and quickly coughed a few times, trying to change the subject.
Kuki Shinobu sighed and, after accepting the order, turned to leave to inform Kamisato Ayato. But she stopped midway, hesitated for a moment, then turned back to Miyashiro and reminded him, "Regent, I know you and Lady Shenhe share a deep bond, and with the joy of a long-awaited reunion, you might feel like a short separation makes the heart grow fonder.
However, I must still remind you from a professional medical perspective: Lady Shenhe is currently in her early pregnancy. In the first three months, the embryo has not fully developed. Sexual intercourse is not permitted during this period, as it can easily lead to miscarriage and may also cause significant DMG to Lady Shenhe's body.
Therefore, during this time, you may need to restrain your feelings and exercise a little patience. From four to six months, when the embryo is fully formed, it will be permissible. However, after six months, until delivery, it will not be allowed again."
Hearing Kuki Shinobu's medical advice, Miyashiro felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Everyone looked at Miyashiro's crestfallen expression and couldn't help but laugh.
However, Miyashiro immediately thanked Kuki Shinobu for her medical advice. If it weren't for her reminder, he might have broken the rules tonight. If serious consequences had truly occurred, he would certainly have been filled with regret.
Just as Miyashiro was about to feel disappointed, he felt two heavy Slimes pressing on his head. Miyashiro looked up and saw Sara, dressed in black stockings and a milk-cap dress, staring at him with a flushed face, her eyes full of deep affection... Meanwhile, after receiving Miyashiro's order, Kuki Shinobu rushed to the Kamisato Estate to inform Kamisato Ayato.
