Before leaving, Kamisato Ayato suddenly put on a sincere expression and bowed his head to Yae Miko:
"Thank you, Lady Yae, for the matter with Kujou Sara."
Yae Miko's expression remained unmoved, and she smiled:
"Kujou Sara's release only benefits the Tenryou Commission. Ayato, you are from the Shuumatsuban, so why thank me?"
Kamisato Ayato paused for a moment, then said:
"Precisely because I am the head of the Shuumatsuban, I must pay even closer attention to the situations of the other two Commissions."
"Currently, the Tenryou Commission is weak, and its power and scale are far below the other two major Commissions."
"This is not a good thing for Inazuma."
"An imbalance among the Three Commissions offers no benefit to Inazuma."
"Only when the Three Commissions are balanced and mutually restrained can Inazuma's stable development be maintained."
Upon hearing this, Yae Miko chuckled, "Ayato is indeed Ayato. Your broader perspective has always impressed me."
Kamisato Ayato shook his head:
"This is merely my duty as part of the Shuumatsuban. Lady Yae, you flatter me."
"Furthermore, Lady Yae specifically advised Her Excellency, the General, to help Kujou Sara be released, surely also considering the stability of the Three Commissions."
Yae Miko gave a mischievous smile, then nodded earnestly:
"Hehe, since I've worked so hard, Ayato, you must also work diligently, alright?"
In truth, the main reason was simply that Yae Miko wanted the Three Commissions to return to normal as soon as possible so she could slack off to her heart's content... Kamisato Ayato remained silent for a while before retorting:
"No, Lady Yae seems to always be idle. I heard you're constantly taking vacations. Could it be that helping the Three Commissions restore stability this time is also just to find a suitable excuse for a vacation?"
One can only say that an elder brother-in-law is an elder brother-in-law; his words always hit the nail on the head.
"Ahem." Yae Miko cleared her throat, then said:
"In any case, the matter of the Irodori Festival is entrusted to you, Ayato."
The elder brother-in-law smiled faintly and said, "Since it is the duty of the Shuumatsuban, I will naturally do my best to handle it."
After a pause, Kamisato Ayato continued:
"Lady Yae, I actually still have a question in my heart."
Yae Miko raised an eyebrow and said, "What is it? Feel free to ask."
Kamisato Ayato hesitated for a long time before speaking:
"Lady Yae seems to frequently sneak into someone's home. There are also rumors among the populace that Lady Yae has been consistently favoring a writer, and has been taking great care of that writer."
Hearing this, Yae Miko sighed slightly:
"I've been so careful when I go to Little Yuuko's house. I didn't expect to still be seen, and for rumors to spread everywhere."
Kamisato Ayato added, "Regarding this, the people are privately saying that Lady Yae is..."
"Saying I'm doing what?" Yae Miko raised an eyebrow, sensing that something was amiss.
Kamisato Ayato hesitated for a long time before saying:
"They say Lady Yae is keeping that author."
"Oh? Such a good thing?" Yae Miko smirked, "So that's how the people see me and Little Yuuko."
Kamisato Ayato looked at Yae Miko with a strange gaze, seemingly not having expected such a reaction from her.
Because of this, he became even more curious about the person Yae Miko called Little Qian.
He would have to investigate thoroughly later... Considering his identity, Kamisato Ayato thought it might be better to let his sister investigate this matter.
Afterward, Kamisato Ayato stood up again:
"I have learned what I wanted to know. Then, I will not disturb Lady Yae. I have other matters to attend to."
"Farewell and take care~" Yae Miko waved her hand dismissively.
And so, Kamisato Ayato left Yae Publishing House.
As for Yae Miko, she remained there, happily slacking off and enjoying her leisurely time.
She also began to consider her future plans.
"Hehehe, with Sara out today, the General probably won't have a chance to bother me and Little Yuuko anymore."
"So, tonight, for the two-person world of me and Little Yuuko, let's plan it out well~"
"Hehehe, General, oh General, human relationships are very complex~"
"My asking you to release Sara was originally to hinder you~"
"You'll have to learn to be a bit smarter in the future~"
...On the other side, after Kujou Sara left the Tenshukaku, she did not immediately rush to Yuuko's house.
Instead, she first returned home. After confirming that the statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder, also known as the Raiden Shogun statue, was still in her room.
She then headed to the Tenryou Commission to resume her former official position and retrieve her personal belongings.
Only then did Kujou Sara rush in the direction of Yuuko's house.
Kujou Sara's visit to Yuuko's house this time was, on one hand, out of curiosity about Yuuko himself.
She wanted to investigate why the Raiden Shogun would take an interest in an ordinary writer like Yuuko.
On the other hand, Kujou Sara had received a lot of care from Yuuko during the Vision Hunt Decree.
Now that she had the opportunity, she intended to go and thank him properly.
Walking slowly through the streets of Inazuma, Kujou Sara soon arrived at the edge of Inazuma City, which was the residential area.
After asking around, she quickly found the house where Yuuko lived.
However, it seemed that before Kujou Sara, there was already someone else outside the house.
It was a woman dressed in a light blue dress.
The woman had a beautiful and dignified appearance, and also exuded a sense of immense pride.
Currently, the woman was pacing back and forth outside the house, carefully peering into the house through the window.
She was acting suspiciously, and no one knew what she was doing.
Just like a thief.
"Who is that? What is she doing, sneaking around?" Kujou Sara frowned slightly.
Kujou Sara could also sense the threat emanating from the woman in the light blue dress.
Kujou Sara knew that the woman was definitely not a simple person.
Nor was she necessarily someone she could deal with.
But even so, as the General of the Tenryou Commission, Kujou Sara could not stand idly by against such a person.
For Inazuma, for the Raiden Shogun, even if it meant facing a terrifying presence.
She would not back down.
Kujou Sara immediately walked over and shouted:
"Who are you! What are you doing, sneaking around in a residential area!"
Startled by Kujou Sara's shout, the woman in the light blue dress first jumped, then slightly exhaled in relief.
Finally, she looked at Kujou Sara with cold eyes:
"What I'm doing here, what does it have to do with you?"
That woman was none other than the Archon of Snezhnaya, the Tsaritsa.
Today, the Tsaritsa had originally intended to visit Yuuko and continue to foster good relations with him.
However, upon arriving outside the house, she suddenly became afraid.
After all, today she hadn't come with Raiden Ei.
Coming with Raiden Ei, she could naturally enter the house, but if she came alone, she didn't know if the demon inside would let her in... If she went in alone, who knew if she'd be kicked out?
So she had been hesitating outside the house.
However, the Tsaritsa was still the Tsaritsa, after all.
At this moment, suddenly questioned by Kujou Sara, the Tsaritsa instantly regained her usual majesty, exuding a strong oppressive aura.
Most people, speaking to the Tsaritsa at such close proximity, would be breathless from the pressure.
Even Kujou Sara was no exception.
Her face paled slightly, and she took a small step back, but out of the dignity of a Tenryou Commission General, she forcefully stopped herself.
And looked coldly at the Tsaritsa:
"This is Inazuma, and I will not allow any wrongdoers to remain in the city!"
Hearing this, the Tsaritsa gave a cold laugh:
"Oh? I didn't expect Inazuma to have someone as courageous as you."
