The entire Inazuma will be buried with them!
For such words to come from Miyashiro, the Inazuma Regent, the shock it delivered was unimaginable. Even Kokomi, Ayaka, Sara, and Kuki Shinobu, who served as Miyashiro's secretaries, were stunned by this statement.
They only knew that the little girl named Klee was an important guest of Miyashiro, and he valued her greatly, but they had never asked Miyashiro for the specific reason. It was just about taking care of a child; there was no need to question it further.
But now, Miyashiro had publicly uttered such serious words, which made them question the little girl's identity. Could she be Klee's father?!
No, that's not right. How old was their Regent? Klee looked to be six or seven years old. It couldn't be that their Regent had a child around ten years old, could it? Moreover, their Regent was going to Mondstadt for the first time, so there was no motive for such a thing. Besides, Miyashiro and Klee didn't resemble each other at all!
Takatsukasa Shin looked at Miyashiro in disbelief and said cautiously, "Re... Regent, you must be joking, right? Even if that little girl has an incredibly powerful background, it can't be as serious as you say. Besides, we still have the Shogun and you, the Regent. With both of you, who would dare to cause trouble in Inazuma?"
Miyashiro merely sneered and said, "It seems you still don't understand what I mean. If Klee truly suffers an accident, even if the Shogun and I work together, we wouldn't be able to protect Inazuma.
Do you understand now? What level of merit has Yoimiya achieved? It is an unparalleled achievement that saved all the people of Inazuma! Can your Takatsukasa Family's small contribution compare to Yoimiya's?"
Upon hearing this explanation, Takatsukasa Shin, already in poor health, was overwhelmed by a double stimulus of immense fear and shock. He clutched his heart in pain, then collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
Seeing this, Miyashiro gave Kuki Shinobu a look. Kuki Shinobu sighed helplessly, knelt beside the convulsing Takatsukasa Shin, and extended a finger, with a few electric arcs flickering at its tip. Kuki Shinobu slowly touched Takatsukasa Shin's chest with her finger.
Takatsukasa Shin's body jolted, and the convulsions instantly ceased. He immediately fell unconscious. Miyashiro waved his hand, and soon, soldiers dragged Takatsukasa Shin's body away for treatment.
The recent farce involving Takatsukasa Shin did not disrupt Miyashiro's arrangements. He slowly turned and sat down, saying to Sara, "Continue."
Sara stepped forward and began, "According to Miss Yoimiya's description, the puppet samurai who attacked them on Yashiori Island should be Maguu Kenki, which was discarded by Inazuma centuries ago.
When Maguu Kenki was originally created, it was to compensate for the Shogunate's lack of combat power, and it also received help from Iwakura no Douin, one of Inazuma's four great masters, who integrated all of his sword techniques into Kenki's design, making its strength extraordinary.
However, after Maguu Kenki was completed, it lost control for unknown reasons and was eventually discarded by the Shogunate at the time. Unexpectedly, centuries later, that Maguu Kenki still had enough energy to be driven."
Miyashiro frowned and said, "Where is that Maguu Kenki?"
Sara: "According to Hu Tao, the Director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, who rescued Yoimiya and Klee, that Maguu Kenki has been completely destroyed by her."
Miyashiro pouted and said, "Hmph, that puppet was lucky. So, why did Yoimiya and Klee go to Yashiori Island? I remember they've been around Narukami Island all this time."
At this moment, Ayaka stepped forward and said, "According to Yoimiya and Klee's account, it was because some residents complained that they were making noise outside the city, disturbing the residents' normal lives. To avoid further complaints, Yoimiya took Klee to the sparsely populated Yashiori Island."
Miyashiro: "Did they cause any DMG to the residents?"
Ayaka: "No!"
Miyashiro: "Did they cause any property damage to the residents?"
Ayaka: "No!"
Miyashiro: "Then what was the order I issued to all departments in Inazuma? Ayaka, please repeat it for me."
Ayaka: "As long as it does not affect the lives or property of the residents, they are free to play anywhere in Inazuma."
Miyashiro: "Find all the residents who have complained during this period. Since they prefer peace and quiet, and not to be disturbed, then the bustling Inazuma City is no longer suitable for them to live in.
I think Yashiori Island is excellent—sparsely populated and with beautiful scenery. It is indeed a rare place of tranquility in Inazuma. Give them three times the value of their original houses and land as compensation, and have them all move to Yashiori Island!"
Miyashiro's pronouncement was undeniably severe for those complaining Inazuma residents. Inazuma City is the most prosperous city in Inazuma, and also its political, economic, and cultural center, truly a crucial capital region.
And Yashiori Island? It only has a small village under post-disaster reconstruction, with a sparse population. Since the Regent's Office announced the land reclamation policy, the once deserted Seirai Island became a popular destination, with many residents voluntarily moving to Seirai Island for reclamation.
As for Kannazuka, since it was the Shogunate Army's garrison, and soldiers implemented military farming policies, the land of Kannazuka naturally did not lie fallow.
Watatsumi Island, due to Kokomi's effective governance, laid a good foundation. Now that it has officially been incorporated into Shogunate rule, the long-standing problem of food and water shortages on Watatsumi Island has been resolved, allowing it to develop rapidly.
Only Yashiori Island, due to its awkward geographical location and rumors of strange diseases during the civil war, had almost no volunteers. However, as one of Inazuma's six major islands, development was inevitable, and it couldn't remain uninhabited.
Since no one volunteered to go, he could only designate people himself.
This group of residents who complained about Yoimiya and Klee, almost causing a great disaster, were the best choice. With three times the value of their land and property as compensation, he felt he had done his utmost.
Immediately after, Miyashiro spoke again: "Since the Takatsukasa Family has the determination to shed their blood for Inazuma, I will grant their wish. I order: The entire Takatsukasa Family shall relocate to Yashiori Island and be responsible for its development! Does anyone have any objections?"
How could there be any suggestions? Raising an objection now would surely lead to one's own family following in the Takatsukasa Family's footsteps. Moreover, Takatsukasa Shin, the current head of the Takatsukasa Family, had just fainted and been carried away for treatment, so he couldn't speak. This matter could only be settled this way.
After the meeting adjourned, Miyashiro, back in his backyard, called out to Sara and instructed, "Sara, Takatsukasa Shin is your subordinate, isn't he? Go and give Takatsukasa Shin a message: tell him to honestly develop Yashiori Island for me. What's a sixty-year-old man thinking about retirement for?
Doesn't he want dragon flesh and blood? Tell him, as long as he can develop Yashiori Island well, what's wrong with giving him a piece of dragon flesh and blood?"
Sara quietly said, "Lord Regent, dragon flesh and blood are treasures. Giving them to an old man like Takatsukasa Shin would be too wasteful."
Miyashiro: "Heh heh, exchanging a piece of meat for decades of accumulated wealth from a family is a pretty good deal. Besides, after I've reprimanded the Takatsukasa Family, if I don't give him a sweet treat, how will he wholeheartedly develop Yashiori Island?
Remember to warn Takatsukasa Shin: if this matter doesn't satisfy me, let alone getting dragon flesh and blood, don't force me to slaughter the Takatsukasa Family like fat pigs for an early New Year!"
Sara: "Lord Regent is wise. I will go and handle it now."
Sara nodded, accepted the order, and left to carry it out. Meanwhile, Miyashiro went to the room where Yoimiya and Klee were recuperating. Shenhe and Eula were already taking care of them in the room.
