"What about the other person? Have you been able to find out his identity?"
In Kujo Takayuki's mind, it must be quite extraordinary for someone to appear in a place like a wooden-slotted teahouse at the same time as these two.
"I'm sorry, Master, I haven't been able to see his face yet, so I can't find out anything."
"Um……"
Kujo Takayuki began to think about the potential problems.
"Alright, keep a close eye on things and find out the identity of that mysterious person as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Chapter 13 Ah Zu, stop!
In the wooden tea room, after some discussion, the ratio was finally settled at 7:3. However, Yae no Miko proposed to start a publication dedicated to light novels for her Yae-do.
Iwasaki did not refuse.
Anyway, this publication was edited by Yaedo, so it was just a small favor.
Although none of the three were entirely clear about the newspaper's intended use, they were generally aware of its general purpose.
Mora was unimportant to anything that would benefit the development of the Inazuma situation. (Iwasaki: It's just a task from above.)
As the banquet drew to a close, Ayato Kamisato "inadvertently" revealed that the armed fleet "Southern Cross," led by Hokuto, the "Uncrowned Dragon King" of Liyue, had obtained permission to enter and leave and set sail. It was about to cross the thunderstorm zone and dock at an outlying island.
The fleet carried a considerable amount of foreign goods, which the Tong family took very seriously.
Since the lockdown order, the Tong family has been reaping the lion's share of foreign goods entering the country. The Southern Cross fleet was the first large fleet to obtain entry and exit permits, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will also be the last.
After all, things are valued for their scarcity, and the Kujo family doesn't support it either.
The Southern Cross fleet was able to obtain permission through a secret alliance between Ayato Kamisato and Shinsuke Toru, with the tacit approval of Liyue as well.
Iwasaki Masato understood what Ayato Kamisato meant: they were on his side.
Upon leaving the wooden tea room, they discovered that the girl guarding the door, Kozue, had changed positions.
Years of experience in intelligence work led Iwasaki to spot a group of people pretending to talk in the distance.
But the tip of the sash was blocking his way.
[They're keeping a close eye on things, but unfortunately, they're still too green.]
Under the cover of the tail, Iwasaki turned around naturally to say goodbye to Ayato Kamisato and Yae no Miko, and then turned and left.
The scouts talking nearby seemed a little anxious.
We can't see her face at all!
The group whispered among themselves for a while, then two of them said goodbye and left, following closely in the direction Iwasaki had gone.
Seeing this, Ayato Kamisato, who was standing at the entrance of the wooden tea room, secretly gave Koto a wink.
She turned and walked into the wooden-framed tea room. Soon after, she changed her clothes and appeared on the street from another room, closely following the spies from the Kujo family.
Soon, she realized that Iwasaki was leading them in circles.
We're in the same industry!
Hiss, that’s not right.
"This guy is actually trying to dump the work on me."
The last thing the two spies from the Kujo family heard was the girl's indignant voice.
Then everything went black, and I knew nothing more.
Iwasaki, who was secretly observing this scene from ahead, quietly gave Kozue a thumbs up.
Iwasaki Masashi was met with a pair of eye rolls and a departing figure.
Soon, several men in black appeared from the shadows and carried the two away.
When the two spies from the Kujo family woke up, they found themselves sitting at a station not far from the wooden teahouse, as if their previous surveillance and investigation had been nothing but a dream, and now that they had woken up, they had returned to their familiar starting point.
Apart from a slight neck pain.
It wasn't just the two of them; there were also several other colleagues who remained at the site, but they hadn't woken up yet.
There was a burnt smell in the air.
Following the smell of burning, you'll find a pot of porridge in front of the store that has been overcooked and burned.
The clay pot had already cracked from the fire.
The two looked at each other.
This is the warning that the final chapter gives them.
The two stared at the pot of porridge for a long time, then decided to report it.
We can't beat them in a fight, and we can't win in a brawl either.
Let's leave it to the big shots above to worry about.
————Heavenly Orders and Execution————
Kujo Takayuki received the reports from these spies.
He didn't demand anything from these spies; bringing back news was enough.
The final boss's strength is undeniable; there's no point in forcing it.
However, he is now somewhat worried about what Narukami Taisha and its magistrate are doing.
Why don't we give them a try?
He was mentally assessing the value of this matter.
Perhaps we should find out more about the situation.
With that thought, Kujo Takayuki turned and left the government office.
Meanwhile, on the other side—
Ayato Kamisato walked into the Utsu-tei alone.
This is a newly opened izakaya (Japanese pub) in Inazuma Castle.
However, its owner is a bit special.
Rikuto Okazaki.
Originally an officer within the Tenryo Magistrate's Office, he was a pragmatic high-ranking official who rose through the ranks and enjoyed great prestige among the lower and middle-ranking officials. Because of his opposition to Kujo Takayuki's actions, he incurred Kujo Takayuki's wrath, and members of the Okazaki faction were successively taken down. Ultimately, Okazaki Rikuto voluntarily chose to retire.
His timely withdrawal forced Kujo Takayuki's offensive to a halt, leaving a glimmer of hope for many in Okazaki's faction.
After all, the other party's leader has already stepped down. If you keep harping on this, it's not dignified for you to keep clinging to it.
Kujo Takayuki also needs to pay attention to the thoughts of the Takatsukasa family.
However, a person's reputation is still as great as a tree's shadow, and even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Although Okazaki Rikuto is no longer in the Tenryo Regime, his fame is no less than it used to be.
Guests from the shogunate would often come to Wuyu Pavilion.
Just like Ayato Kamisato today.
"Mr. Okazaki, how have you been?"
"Haha, thanks to Young Master Shenli, I hope you've been well. Come, try my grilled skewers."
"Thank you, but I've already eaten."
"Oh?"
Rikuto Okazaki looked at Ayato Kamisato.
"Then how about having a couple of drinks with me?"
"Alright."
The two of them took their seats.
"If the whole world were like this sake, how wonderful that would be."
Ayato Kamisato stared at the sake in front of him, his gaze seemingly directed at something.
"Recently, even important figures who frequently visit the Magistrate's Office have occasionally graced my little shop with their presence. It seems that there are indeed undercurrents in Inazuma these days."
"That's true. But I feel bad for the people of Inazuma."
"The Heavenly Commander will always believe in the General's divine power. The General's choice must have its own meaning."
"maybe."
Seeing that the other party did not want to participate, Ayato Kamisato did not force him, but simply left a piece of paper and got up to leave Uyutei.
"Wishing you a prosperous business."
"Thank you for your kind words, young master Shenli."
Just as I stepped out of the store, I ran into Kujo Takayuki.
"I never expected that a dignified magistrate of the Heavenly Territory would have such refined interests."
"Hmph, young man from the Kamisato family, the magistrate of a shrine. If you, as the magistrate, can come, why can't I?"
"Of course, but I'm surprised that you could come to Wuyouting despite your busy schedule."
"This Wuyou Pavilion was established by one of my Heavenly Commander's capable lieutenants, so I naturally have to offer my assistance. But you, Chief Commander..."
"The magistrate's office is quite peaceful right now, unlike the busy magistrate's office."
"I'm afraid even the head of the Kamisato family isn't that free."
He knew that this was Ayato Kamisato secretly encroaching on the power of the Yin-Yang Society.
But how clean can the Kamisato family be? The final chapter just gave his men a taste of their own medicine.
What's the deal with your final episode?
