In terms of the outcome, the interactions were fairly harmonious—no conflicts arose.
"I've long heard of Miss Yumemizuki's reputation. Please be sure to offer me some guidance..."
Little Sara was very courteous toward this great youkai who had been busy for hundreds of years dealing with Inazuma's people's nightmares and the aftermath of disasters.
"I've long admired your name. Your visit to my residence today truly brings glory to our humble home..."
Little Ayato, meanwhile, faithfully carried out the Kamisato family's strategy of "make many friends, hammer enemies to death," welcoming Miss Yumemizuki with kindness.
However, he didn't disturb them too much—after all, this part of the socializing was still Madam Kamisato's domain. Children generally shouldn't intrude on adult territory.
Little Ayaka, little Kuki Shinobu, and Miyuki were mostly curious about the baku's identity, but on their first meeting they only timidly offered a greeting.
Miss Yumemizuki accepted this readily.
Getting familiar on the second meeting—like with the old uncle—was the abnormal case.
Normally, the next step should be getting to know each other better, but unfortunately this wasn't a time for leisurely chatting.
After everyone finished breakfast and rested a bit, they had to hurry off to their respective posts.
The middle-aged members of the Kamisato family, being old foxes, had to handle personnel matters. Little Ayato had to take over the cultural production areas that the Kamisato family was responsible for ahead of schedule. Little Eula was in charge of overseeing the economic sector of the Hiiragi family...
When little Eula first learned she had to manage the Kanjou Commission, she was completely stunned, but the all-purpose Lawrence family (Hawaiian) education had indeed given her a foundation in administrative matters...
At this point, there weren't many capable and trustworthy people left. Little Eula, you just have to step up early. Among the trustworthy ones, none had a better foundation than you anyway—experience all starts from zero.
The military side was still in the hands of the Kujou family's upper echelons, but unfortunately for those higher-ups, it wasn't of much use.
Because the Hiiragi family was now under little Eula's oversight, the army that the Kujou family maintained now had to pay salaries out of their own pockets. Who knew how long the Kujou family's assets could hold out.
After all, delaying army wages...
The army wouldn't charge at the Raiden Shogun—they'd charge at the Kujou family.
Damn old bastards! Daring to withhold brothers' pay—do you think our blades aren't sharp enough!
One could only say that the Kujou family would have to suffer for now and let the army squeeze some oil out of them. After eating so much, they had to spit some out eventually.
The people in the army are also citizens. When they have money, it can stimulate consumption.
Anyway, if the Kujou family wants to break free, they at least have to wait until Inazuma's internal economic circulation runs normally.
But right now it's still personnel purges and changing who does the work. Once the internal circulation gets going, the Kujou family might end up skinny as a sheet of paper—who knows.
And Shura Anyakonsen-shou was the one directly responsible for making the decisions—how to use reasonable resources to achieve the best results...
After deciding, he'd bring it to the Shogun as a real-life teaching case...
Every day when entering work mode, he would shout that this damn Inazuma was impossible to stay in for even one more day.
But looking at the cold yet understated text presented to him, he couldn't put down the pen...
What a hassle.
However, out of pursuit for the adventurer life, mornings and evenings could still be free from work.
At least it was 8-to-6, and aside from no rest days, it was actually pretty decent.
He still missed the days of being an adventurer, freely accepting commissions and choosing his own work hours.
After sending the kids to "work" and hitching a ride with the middle-aged members, the old uncle returned to the Kamisato Estate once again.
"Let's go, Miss Mizuki. We should go assess the Shogun's Eternity."
