There were no further incidents on the road, and the two of them arrived smoothly outside the Kamisato Estate.
Upon arriving, Kamisato Ayaka did not immediately lead Yuuko inside.
Instead, she first asked Yuuko to wait outside:
"Then, Mr. Yuuko, please wait here for a moment. I will go notify my brother."
Yuuko nodded: "Understood. I'll leave it to Miss Kamisato."
After that, Kamisato Ayaka entered the Kamisato Estate, while Yuuko waited patiently outside.
She came out after barely any wait:
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Yuuko."
Kamisato Ayaka gestured for him to enter.
Just like that, Yuuko followed Kamisato Ayaka and stepped inside the Kamisato Estate.
This was Yuuko's first time entering this place, and he curiously observed his surroundings.
It truly was the territory of the Shuumatsuban; even just the courtyard was enormous.
After walking a bit further.
Led by Kamisato Ayaka, the two finally arrived in front of a room.
Kamisato Ayaka knocked on the door and called inside: "Brother, Lady Yae, I have brought Mr. Yuuko."
Following this, a voice of assent came from inside.
Hearing this, Kamisato Ayaka opened the door and gestured for Yuuko to enter: "Now then, Mr. Yuuko, please come in."
Yuuko raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is Miss Kamisato not coming in?"
Kamisato Ayaka paused slightly, then smiled:
"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't be going in. Furthermore... my brother seems to have things to discuss with Mr. Yuuko, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to interrupt you."
"Is that so?" Yuuko thought for a moment, then asked:
"But isn't Yae Miko also inside? Wouldn't she also be interrupting your brother's conversation with me? Adding one more person shouldn't matter, right?"
"Hahaha..." Kamisato Ayaka laughed awkwardly:
"Lady Yae is an exception. If she insists on staying inside and listening, there's nothing we can do..."
"That's truly her, shameless as always." Yuuko sighed helplessly:
"I understand. Thank you, Miss Kamisato, for your help along the way."
"No need for thanks, this is just part of my duty." Kamisato Ayaka shook her head, then stated seriously once more:
"In that case, I won't disturb the conversation between Mr. Yuuko and my brother any further."
Yuuko nodded and then stepped into the room.
The room was large, and upon entering, Yuuko saw three large tables set up inside.
Next to one of the tables sat a woman who reeked of scumminess—the old acquaintance, Yae Miko.
Sitting next to another table was the head of the Kamisato Clan, and the leader of the Shuumatsuban, Kamisato Ayato.
It is worth mentioning that both of their tables were piled high with documents.
Yuuko had just entered and hadn't yet had a chance to speak when he heard Yae Miko's cheerful and joyful voice:
"Oh my, Little Qian actually came to find me proactively. How delightful~"
Yuuko sighed: "After all, I promised you, Miko, that I would keep you company during the Irodori Festival, and besides, I genuinely have nothing to do right now; it's quite boring."
Yae Miko covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled:
"Little Qian is so dishonest. You clearly wanted to see me, but... that's exactly what I like about Little Qian~"
"No, no, no... I really only came because I was bored..."
"Don't be shy, Little Qian~"
"No, no, no..."
