"Can humans really replace gods in managing affairs now?"
Zhongli, the old gentleman who had just finished marking "Reviewed," was leisurely enjoying his tea time.
After all, the kids had all gone off to play, and with Xinyan there, nothing unexpected would happen.
Right now, the ones who could sit beside Mr. Zhongli and mooch some tea were all rather quiet and well-behaved children.
It was precisely because of this that Mr. Zhongli actually had quite a bit of leisurely time each day.
As long as little Hu Tao didn't drag a bunch of kids over to bother him, things were manageable.
"Espionage crime refers to the act of joining a spy organization, accepting tasks from a spy organization or its agents, or indicating bombardment targets to the enemy, thereby endangering national security and interests.
Article 110 of the Liyue Penal Code stipulates that those who endanger national security shall be sentenced to imprisonment of ten years or more, or life imprisonment; in cases where the circumstances are relatively minor, imprisonment of three to ten years…"
Little Yanfei was still diligently studying the laws she loved to research.
Morax sank into contemplation.
The era of the gods…
The era of humans…
…
The first step, above all, required a visit to the Kujou Clan.
To announce the Shogun's verdict.
But before that, there was one more thing that needed to be done.
"I'll play the bad cop, you play the good cop, got it?"
The middle-aged uncle said this to the head of the Kamisato Clan beside him.
"Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou, please rest assured—this is exactly what I've been hoping for."
The two of them had clear divisions of labor.
After all, the Raiden Shogun was Inazuma's god; she still needed to appear mild and benevolent—everyone preferred benevolent governance, after all.
But Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou of the Dark Night didn't need to worry about such things. He only needed to use ruthless methods to eradicate evil completely.
By comparison: Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou of the Dark Night intends to slaughter you all to uphold justice in the mortal world,
and then the head of the Kamisato Clan steps in to gently dissuade them with Her Excellency the Raiden Shogun's mild and eternal mercy, making the higher-ups obediently cough up what they've swallowed and pay their taxes.
It's either we tear down your house and rob you—no, correct that—we tear down your house to collect taxes, or you obediently open the door and let us collect taxes. You'd better think carefully.
In any case, Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou is currently very angry, so watch yourselves.
The above is the rational analysis.
The emotional analysis is that the middle-aged uncle simply doesn't want to deal too much with these higher-ups over matters tied to interests and benefits.
This kind of thing is better left to Kamisato Ayato, who has to operate in these circles and is far more professional at it.
The middle-aged uncle once again donned that unbearably heavy attire symbolizing Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou of the Dark Night.
The middle-aged air-conditioning duo set out to save Inazuma!
"Eula, this time it's going to be quite troublesome, but I feel like it's also very important for you."
Speaking of which, this could be considered a miscalculation. He had originally brought Eula to the Kamisato Clan intending for little Eula to understand what family honor meant.
In the end, after being busy all this time, whether she understood family honor or not was unclear, but she definitely understood what "family" meant now.
But at this point, when comparing the evils of these higher-ups to the evils of the Lawrence Clan, little Eula would surely understand a great deal.
"Mm, I understand."
Having memorized how to wear the outfit after just one demonstration, little Eula began helping the middle-aged uncle tie the cords.
In the end, the steady and composed Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou of the Dark Night, together with his slightly aloof knight lady, stepped onto the stage of Inazuma's history.
For Inazuma's history—whether for better or worse—this would be a vivid, heavy stroke that changed the fate of Inazuma's people.
But for the middle-aged uncle, this wasn't some adventure tale worth bragging about to others.
A transaction full of interests and benefits—this wasn't something suitable to tell children about.
However, in this bloodless war of interest exchanges, the middle-aged uncle wasn't completely without gains.
