This is the true significance of Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou's existence!
He is not a faction! He is an 'individual'!
A new deity elected collectively by the people of Inazuma! He embodies the crystallization of the people's faith in the Shogun's ideal of eternity!
It is most appropriate for him to pay an audience to Her Excellency the Raiden Shogun and make the report.
Of course, the fact that Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou's existence has allowed the Kamisato Clan to stabilize its position and improve work efficiency is merely a tiny little bonus.
"This matter of god-creation must not be known to any unnecessary people—not even Ayaka can know. Ayato, remember: it is the spontaneous admiration of the people for Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou."
Little Ayato looked at his father and once again came to understand the dangers of the adult world.
"If Her Excellency the Shogun becomes furious, I alone will bear the blame. It will absolutely not implicate the Kamisato Clan."
Now, let's pull the timeline back to the day Cid's identity was exposed.
"Ayato, as I expected, Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou is still here. You still remember our next goal, right?"
Little Ayato nodded.
He knew.
This Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou had the family name Kagerou and the given name Cid.
According to the evaluations from the residents in the city, he was a very kind person, slightly reclusive, but someone who liked playing with children.
The Adventurers' Guild's evaluation also noted that he was someone who had risen from the bottom and still relied on honestly completing commissions to earn his hard-earned money.
By judgment, there was an 80% probability that he was a good person.
A gentleman can be deceived by means.
What the Kamisato Clan needed to do was to try their best to befriend him.
To have this Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou go and report to the Raiden Shogun.
Now, shifting the perspective back to Cid.
"Old uncle, what does the Kamisato Clan... want with us?"
"It's hard to say, but in my impression, the Kamisato Clan's current situation isn't very good. It's only because I appeared recently that their days have gotten a lot better."
"Then doesn't that mean we've helped them? Why is it still hard to say?"
"After all, the title of Shura Anyakonsen-shou is still very sensitive. In Inazuma, with the Raiden Shogun... when someone from another place becomes a god in your nation, it's quite troublesome. And the Kanjou Commission happens to lead the cultural aspects related to the gods."
"I see..."
"We've arrived."
The old uncle sitting in the carriage saw the Kamisato family already waiting eagerly for them with anticipation.
As for how he could tell... it was by looking at the hair color.
To be honest, the old uncle felt that they seemed a bit too enthusiastic toward him.
As one of the three commissions ruling Inazuma, no matter how you put it, even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse—did they really need to come out of the house to greet him?
And as soon as the old uncle stepped off the carriage, he was met with the sincere greeting from the head of the Kamisato Clan.
"Welcome, Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou, to the Kamisato Residence. I am the..."
The head of the Kamisato Clan eagerly began introducing his family and the Kamisato Clan to Cid while observing Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou's reactions.
"This is my son, Kamisato Ayato."
Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou looked over with slight interest.
The old uncle: Little Ayato when he was young—he's actually pretty cute.
"This is my wife, Kamisato Ayato's mother." [Note: Original uses 神里华代, rendered here as Kamisato Hiyori or similar in context, but kept descriptive as per text.]
Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou's eyes lit up, though he only politely greeted her.
The old uncle: So this is Kamisato Ayaka's mother? She truly has the demeanor of a grand lady.
"This is my daughter, Kamisato Ayaka."
Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou took the initiative to show goodwill toward Ayaka!
The old uncle: Cute little Ayaka! I want to pat her head!
The head of the Kamisato Clan exchanged a glance with little Ayato.
Little Ayato's eyes were full of resistance.
The clan head's gaze was resolute.
Everything was for the eternity of the Raiden Shogun!
