Early morning.
Yumemizuki Mizuki had arrived at the Kamisato Estate entrance very early.
After stating that she had been asked to come by Mr. Cid, the Kamisato Clan samurai reported to the early-rising Madam Kamisato, and Mizuki smoothly entered the Kamisato Estate.
One could only say that Mizuki had come truly too early—at this time, aside from the head of the household Madam Kamisato, the middle-aged members and the children were all still asleep.
Mizuki looked at the rooms of the Kamisato Estate. At this moment, her baku (dream-eating tapir) instincts had already allowed her to sense the sweet, delicious dreams of everyone in the Kamisato Estate.
It seems the people around Mr. Cid all live very happily…
And at this time, Madam Kamisato also came over to receive this great youkai who was quite famous in Inazuma.
"Actually, Mr. Cid asked me to come. He said he needs me to help take a look at the Shogun."
Although facing a mortal, Mizuki still conversed with a friendly attitude.
"Mr. Cid? Oh, I almost forgot—Shura Anyakonsen-shou's original name is Cid. It seems Miss Yumemizuki has a very good relationship with Shura Anyakonsen-shou."
Madam Kamisato naturally began the socializing befitting a lady of the house. When conversing with others, one shouldn't talk about benefits—talking about benefits hurts feelings. So it's better to focus on topics like play or emotions.
A very good relationship?
Mizuki subconsciously recalled Mr. Cid's words of refusal from yesterday.
That is something I need to keep deeply hidden—it's the most important part deep in my heart.
"It probably can't be called a very good relationship. It should be said that I've received far too much care from Mr. Cid."
The relationship between friends is mutual, and she hasn't been able to help Mr. Cid with anything yet.
Although today Mr. Cid asked her to go see the Raiden Shogun, to be honest, checking on the Shogun's condition is something every person or youkai on Inazuma's land should do as their duty.
Mr. Cid said he was asking for her help, but in reality, this was just using private matters for public good—how could it count as her helping Mr. Cid?
"Then speaking of which, it seems our Kamisato family has also received quite a lot of care from Shura Anyakonsen-shou… and yet we've hardly been able to do anything for Shura Anyakonsen-shou…"
Kamisato Kayo expressed that she understood this feeling very well—her husband had acted immorally and dragged Shura Anyakonsen-shou into it, yet the Kamisato family could do surprisingly little.
When asking Shura Anyakonsen-shou what he needed, Shura Anyakonsen-shou only said that the Kamisato family had exhausted themselves for Inazuma, working until death—just do more work and let yourself relax a bit.
Truly neither seeking money nor lust—at most he likes good food and prefers to cook it himself…
For a moment, the youkai and the human who shared quite a lot of common topics began chatting.
And between the middle-aged members and the children, the ones who wake up early are often the middle-aged ones.
The middle-aged air-conditioner duo walked out of their rooms together with great tacit understanding.
"It's Mizuki, coming so early?"
Mr. Cid, who had just woken up, yawned without much image.
One could only say that right after waking up is when a person is most relaxed mentally—for a moment, Mr. Cid directly called her by name without any honorific.
Miss Yumemizuki accepted this readily and did not remind him.
Calling by name probably means the relationship has gotten closer, right?
"Mr. Cid, good morning."
But Mizuki still insisted on adding "Mr." after Cid to show respect. She clasped her hands together, hiding them in her long sleeves, slightly bowed her body forward in a respectful posture while covered by her long robe.
"There's really no need to be so polite…"
The old uncle felt slightly unaccustomed. Although this posture looked quite cute, it always felt overly formal.
