Unbelievable—that she would actually lose control of herself because of a dish she made…
Even after vomiting, the Shogun still felt that nauseating greasy taste lingering in her mouth…
Is this what the people feel when governance goes wrong? I understand now… It truly is uncontrollable…
"Your Excellency the Shogun, please drink some water. Rinsing your mouth is always good…"
The Shogun took the cup from little Sara and kept rinsing her mouth, but she felt as if she would never be able to escape that god-repulsing taste for the rest of her life…
Unbelievable—that the creator of this taste was herself…
"Have some dango milk to ease it…"
The Shogun didn't refuse. She simply took the dango milk from Shura Anyakonsen-shou and sipped it slowly…
As that pure sweetness entered her mouth, the Shogun finally felt the greasy taste gradually being dispelled…
Alive again…
Although the phrase didn't quite fit Eternity, the Shogun truly felt as if she had come back to life from hell.
The old uncle was also observing the Shogun's condition. At this moment, he felt as though he could see a wronged, pitiful emotion on the Shogun.
And after finishing the entire bottle of dango milk, the Shogun looked at Mr. Cid.
"Where were we just now? Shura Anyakonsen-shou, please continue."
At this point, the Raiden Shogun had regained her cold demeanor—as if the god who had almost been made to cry by bad food earlier wasn't her at all.
Mr. Cid chose to continue feeding the Raiden Shogun dango milk and sanshoku dango as offerings.
Only then did he begin the lesson.
"Governing a country is just like cooking. If it's done well, it's good; if not, it's bad. If it's unpalatable, you still have to spit it out. If governance is bad, it must be overturned and redone. I believe Your Excellency the Shogun has deeply experienced this…"
The Shogun listened attentively, eating the chewy, sticky sanshoku dango while sipping dango milk…
Mm… It feels like the Shogun has really taken a liking to dango milk…
However, eating while learning wasn't difficult for the Shogun. As the theory was explained and then moved into practical governance matters, Mr. Cid discovered that the Shogun's thinking seemed much more lively.
At least in matters of law and human sentiment, she now had a clearer understanding. When looking at "why did you do this," she now focused more on "what caused you to do this."
This morning's lesson could be considered successfully completed.
After leaving the Tenshukaku, the old uncle asked Miss Mizuki again.
"Do you think the Shogun has changed?"
"Mm… Not really changed. She's still the merciless statute, but I can feel that the content of the statute seems like it can now be added to or modified."
Yumemizuki Mizuki shared her observation from this time.
One could only say that the events of this morning had already reshaped Miss Mizuki's worldview.
A human who became a teacher to a god, a human who made a god cook two dishes, a human who changed a god…
Truly breathtaking, truly breathtaking…
"Then that's enough. As long as there's change, it's good."
Mr. Cid seemed much more at ease.
"This afternoon, shall we go to the Grand Narukami Shrine to find Yae Miko? What do you think?"
"So soon…? Isn't it a bit too rushed?"
Yumemizuki Mizuki seemed somewhat nervous.
"Not at all. Miko's condition affects the operation of Inazuma's culture—this is also a major affair for Inazuma…"
Mizuki sighed inwardly.
Here it comes again—Shura Anyakonsen-shou's habit of using public matters for private ends, blurring the lines between personal and official…
She wanted to do something for Shura Anyakonsen-shou, but… what could she actually do?
