The tour of the estate lasted two hours.
Yasumasa led it with the enthusiasm of someone who had been waiting for an audience and had prepared extensively for the occasion — every room, every corridor, every courtyard presented with the particular energy of a man describing something he loved primarily because it was his. The forge operations, the weapons storage, the scale of the production, the contracts his father had built over decades — he moved through all of it with Sakura at his side and spoke at length and with genuine pleasure about each subject.
Mostly about himself.
