The old uncle patted little Eula on the head.
"Probably not. But before I go to Enkanomiya, we should still have some nice vacation time left.
Little Eula, how about after the vacation ends, you help me pack up the adventuring gear?"
Faced with the old uncle's cheeky smile, little Eula naturally couldn't refuse.
"Alright. I'll take care of the preparations."
Afterward, the old uncle and little Eula smoothly made their way back to Sangonomiya.
"Little Eula, help me put on the Shura Anyakonsen-shou armor…"
One could only say that this Shura Anyakonsen-shou armor was really troublesome to put on. It was extremely heavy.
At times like this, he really envied little Eula. She only needed to take out her accessories one by one and put them on, and that was it.
After finishing equipping themselves, the Shura Anyakonsen-shou and his attendant girl walked out of the living room.
"Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou."
Lady Sangonomiya and little Kokomi had clearly been waiting for quite some time.
Time to eat, time to eat.
One could only say that the banquet was indeed lavish — appetizers, soups, main courses, staples, desserts…
If there was anything that caught his attention…
The eel meat chazuke tasted pretty good.
There was also little Kokomi, who seemed to be forcing herself a bit while eating fish.
Oh, what a strange thing. So Kokomi actually doesn't like fish meat.
Mm, I'll remember that for later. It will definitely come in handy.
But speaking of fish meat…
Not good… I got a fish bone stuck again…
A slight movement of Anemo elemental energy, and the fish bone was spat out…
The old uncle gave a warm reminder: when eating fish, you must eat slowly. If a fish bone gets stuck in your throat, it's recommended to lie flat first and not try to swallow it down by eating something.
Of course, if you don't eat fish at all, that would be even more convenient.
But to be honest, he didn't know why — after getting poked by a fish bone, he suddenly started craving fish meat.
No matter what, this meal felt pretty good overall. It was just a bit too light in flavor.
The old uncle's personal taste actually leaned toward salty. He hadn't reached the point of eating vegetarian monastic meals.
Unfortunately, this banquet was more of a performative nature.
The Shura Anyakonsen-shou was actually a bit like the Chief Justice next door in Fontaine, but he was responsible for more affairs. However, there was one thing they had in common.
That was to never engage in favoritism or corruption. He had to be fair.
In this performative banquet, Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou's main role was to not take the initiative, not take responsibility, and not get close.
He was still playing the role of the bad cop.
And considering this point, it was time for little Eula to make her appearance.
"Hmm. After rigorous scientific investigation, and considering the friendly relations between Watatsumi Island and Inazuma, we have decided to overturn the previous corrupt bureaucratic policies…"
Little Eula played the good cop, engaging in friendly cooperation with Lady Sangonomiya.
One could only say that Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou used etiquette to awe the four directions, while his attendant knight Eula greeted and won over all sides with a smiling face.
As a result, this banquet also passed very smoothly.
And when night came…
"Comfortable~"
Cid expressed that the time after taking off the armor and taking a bath was the most comfortable.
Following Inazuma's customs, Cid also put on a yukata.
He lightly used Anemo to blow-dry his hair, then began waiting for little Eula, who should still be washing her hair.
There were no more political matters afterward. Tonight they could stroll around and check out Watatsumi Island's night market.
Knock knock knock~
Hmm? Little Eula finished washing her hair that quickly?
The old uncle opened the door to his room without any wariness.
"Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou, good evening. I am Sangonomiya Kokomi. My mother arranged for me to introduce you to the local customs and culture of Watatsumi Island."
What came into view was a cute ornamental fish with no defenses and no one behind her.
