Chapter 224 - Chapter 224: Dealing with Inazuma's Racial Discrimination

Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou returned to his workplace called the Kamisato residence.

There was still some time left, and government affairs had to be handled...

Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou sat down beside his disciple, little Sara, and began looking through the latest documents...

It should be said that even though the materials had already been processed by subordinates and fragmented information had been connected...

But when there were many matters, there were still many. The volume was large, and if there were any doubts, he still had to go through the original complete documents once more...

For example, the stack in his hand was a collection of resident reports. The main subjects were humans, but there were also some from other races in Inazuma...

For example, the oni clan.

Racial discrimination in Inazuma was still very serious.

Just how serious...

Probably about the same as a Mondstadter seeing Lawrence, or a player seeing that low-pay, high-workload Snezhnayan merchant NPC who issues daily commissions...

To solve it...

Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou looked at little Sara, who was seriously handling government affairs beside him...

Harmonious coexistence between youkai and humans...

Now that Inazuma was in the process of reconstruction, it was actually a good opportunity...

The oni clan didn't have many members now. He could directly bring them over, arrange jobs for them as workers, and provide housing...

But even when putting them together, management would be needed: rule by law, fairness and justice, cracking down hard on rumors, raising the cost of spreading them...

Most importantly, there was the Raiden Shogun's oni friend—Mikoshi Chiyo, or Torachiyo...

As a youkai who had made outstanding contributions to Inazuma, he could have a talk with the Raiden Shogun about making some slight changes regarding Torachiyo's story.

The original situation was that Torachiyo, corrupted by the Abyss, drew her blade and cut down the Raiden Shogun.

Now, it could be changed to: Torachiyo, corrupted by darkness, used her remaining consciousness to say three words to the Raiden Shogun: "Kill me."

Then the Raiden Shogun tearfully executed Chiyo...

As for why he couldn't just tell the truth...

Because Inazuma's education level was not high, and there were too few smart people.

If he told the truth, the people wouldn't care whether Torachiyo was corrupted by darkness or not. They would only think that oni could get corrupted and go berserk, harming others.

Even though humans could also get corrupted and go berserk, and the infection rate was the same as for oni, most people wouldn't care about those details. They would only attack the oni.

There were definitely smart people in this world, but there were just as many foolish ones. They couldn't think things through, yet they could cause the most troublesome and loudest incidents.

This was also why education had to be done properly. With fewer foolish people, at the very least promoting common prosperity would become easier.

So when the people's cultural level was not high, the most important thing in governing the country was to treat the common people like fools. Don't play any complicated tricks—be straightforward, extremely straightforward! Make yourself appear extremely honest!

Straightforward version: Oni are great! Red oni are lively, passionate, and strong; blue oni are reserved, attentive, and love helping people. They're all great citizens!

Even more straightforward: Hanging out with oni has benefits. Everyone is good friends. We Inazumans are one big loving family.

For now, some preparations needed to be made: prepare for red oni and blue oni to integrate into Inazuma's population.

The tengu clan could also be considered youkai...

So let's use the news of Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou taking a tengu as a disciple as the starting point—the "knock on the door"—for oni to integrate into Inazuma's population...

If the situation allowed, he could have little Ayato find someone familiar with Inazuma's history and youkai to write a story about Torachiyo for promotion...

After the oni were integrated, it would be about time to prepare for the rest of the youkai to integrate into human society...

Wait a minute—someone familiar with Inazuma's history and youkai?

The old uncle looked out the window at the shrine maiden Miyuki, who was taking care of the cat Kirara.
