Just as the two were halfway through their conversation, Kamisato Ayato, who was standing nearby, finally found a chance to interject:
"Excuse me. I presume this must be Mr. Yuuko, the writer from Yae Publishing House?"
Kamisato Ayato stood up and elegantly bowed to Yuuko.
Yuuko nodded, then said:
"Mr. Kamisato, I am just an ordinary citizen, so there's no need to be so polite to me. This is your Kamisato Clan residence; it might detract from your status."
Hearing this, Kamisato Ayato smiled slightly:
"I've heard quite a bit about you from Lady Yae before, and seeing you now, Mr. Yuuko, you truly are an interesting person."
"Please forgive my lack of hospitality. Mr. Yuuko, please take a seat."
Saying this, Kamisato Ayato pointed to the third large table in the room.
He seemed to be indicating for Yuuko to sit there.
Seeing this, Yuuko raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling that Kamisato Ayato was being overly polite to him.
But he didn't refuse and immediately went and sat down next to that table.
After sitting down, Yuuko glanced around for a moment, then looked back at Kamisato Ayato:
"Um, Mr. Kamisato..."
Before he could finish, Kamisato Ayato interrupted him: "Just call me Ayato."
Yuuko raised his eyebrows again, sensing that the head of the Kamisato Clan was being excessively polite to him.
Yet, this was supposed to be his first meeting with Kamisato Ayato... "In that case, Mr. Ayato, Miss Kamisato mentioned that you also seem to have something you wish to discuss with me?"
But Kamisato Ayato shook his head:
"There are indeed a few matters I need to discuss with Mr. Yuuko, but currently, work is overwhelming..."
After speaking, Kamisato Ayato looked at the large stack of documents on his table and subtly glanced at Yae Miko.
The implication was clear... all this work had been forcibly dumped on him by Yae Miko... At this moment, Yae Miko shamelessly laughed:
"Hehe, Ayato, after all, everyone is a part of Inazuma, and you are a member of the Shuumatsuban. It's only right that you complete this work. Besides, the Shogun has consented to this, you know~"
Kamisato Ayato shook his head and offered no rebuttal.
If the Shogun hadn't consented, Kamisato Ayato definitely wouldn't have taken on this mess and worked for Yae Miko for free.
But if the Shogun had consented, given his position as the leader of the Shuumatsuban, he couldn't evade it.
He could only blame that scum woman Yae Miko for abusing her authority and using her relationship with the Shogun to forcibly dump the work on him... "Um, are you two busy with work for the Irodori Festival?"
At this moment, Yuuko raised his little hand and asked.
Yae Miko smiled and replied: "It's not just work for the Irodori Festival. This also includes various affairs regarding future cooperation with Snezhnaya. It's really quite troublesome~"
Having said that, Yae Miko smiled, looking as if she had suddenly thought of something:
"Since Little Qian is here, how about you help me share some of the workload?"
As soon as she said this, Kamisato Ayato immediately spoke up to stop her:
"Wait a moment, Lady Yae... This matter involves diplomacy with Snezhnaya, after all..."
It was normal for Kamisato Ayato to object, as the matters involved were quite important to Inazuma.
In some aspects, they could even be considered classified.
It was indeed inappropriate to let an outsider handle such matters.
Yuuko understood Kamisato Ayato's concern, and even more, he didn't want to work for Yae Miko for free, so he said:
"That's right, this is all very important work. I won't get involved."
Yae Miko gave Kamisato Ayato a helpless look before sighing:
"Alright~ alright~ It seems these tasks must still fall to us. Who knows how long we'll be busy for..."
Kamisato Ayato smiled, then asked:
"On another note, I am quite curious about one thing: what is the reason for Lady Yae's recent diligence in her work?"
