Let's skip over the slightly boring teaching parts for now.
For the old man, being the Shura Anyakonsen-shou was fine at the beginning when he was just starting out, but now that it's time to actually fulfill the divine duties and go from zero to one, it's really tough.
If possible, once Inazuma gets on the right track and things are mostly sorted out, this old man is heading back to Liyue!
I can't stand staying in this cursed place called Inazuma for even one more second!
I want to go to Fontaine and watch Furina's operas!
I want to go to Sumeru and squeeze those cute little Aranara!
I want to go to Natlan and hug those adorable little dragonlings!
The old man grumbled bitterly while studying the content in the teaching book, providing example demonstrations based on his own understanding and simulating scenarios...
Then he handed his results over to the Rex Lapis cat-dragon plushie sitting beside him.
If it was reasonable, the Rex Lapis cat-dragon plushie would stamp it with a "Reviewed."
If there was a problem, it would cross it out and write new annotations for Cid to help him understand.
Out of seriousness toward state affairs, the old man was diligently studying in this beginner's dungeon of Inazuman politics...
But the old man had also considered just dragging Morax in to teach everyone as a teacher. However, Lord Morax chose to teach only the old man.
The reason was simple: international implications.
Cid is a foreigner. Even if he's been granted the divine office of Shura Anyakonsen-shou, he's still a foreigner.
If Morax teaches him, it's no big deal—it's just an educational matter anyway.
But for Eula, Kujou Sara, and Kamisato Ayato, it's different.
These three are one from Mondstadt's Lawrence Clan and two from Inazuma's political noble families—they're too deeply tied to their nations.
If Morax taught them directly, and something happened later—worst case, if Mondstadt and Inazuma ended up under Liyue's influence—what then?
He can't take responsibility for that. But if he only teaches Cid, turns a blind eye, and lets Cid learn as much as he can and then teach others as much as he learned, there shouldn't be any issues.
If problems arise, it's Cid's personal actions. At that point, they can just make this honest young guy work a bit harder to handle the divine affairs that people can manage...
This is the inevitable development as the age of humans arrives...
In short, although everything is hard at the beginning, the old man still endured it.
"Sara, break time is over. Next comes the part where we balance work and rest. Your goal now is to have fun—got it?"
The Shura Anyakonsen-shou spoke in a serious tone.
"The Shogun herself also faces troubles related to eternity. If you want to resolve them, you need to understand how to relax as well. The Shogun's rest involves enjoying time together with the people."
With the Shogun's password correctly entered, little Sara obediently stood by the pond and began thinking about how she should play.
Meanwhile, the old man, still wearing his full Shura Anyakonsen-shou armor, entered the room where the armor was stored to begin disassembling it.
Finally, the Shura Anyakonsen-shou's daytime duties were over.
The time that followed belonged to the adventurer Cid, the old man!
The old man first went for a quick wash and changed back into his lightweight adventurer outfit...
Ah, this feeling of lightness...
I really can't stand that damn armor at all!
By now, Cid's adventurer clothes had undergone some special modifications.
Little Eula couldn't stand how plain they looked, so back in Liyue, she had altered them—keeping the lightweight mode while making them look much more stylish.
This turned Cid the old man from an ordinary NPC appearance into an NPC with good-looking clothes.
And probably because he'd spent the whole day as the Shura Anyakonsen-shou, he now looked like he'd successfully evolved into a stylish NPC who clearly had a backstory and side quests to offer.
The old man looked at himself in the mirror and felt pretty satisfied.
