Inside the room.
Kitsune Saiguu was filled with worry.
It was her first time realizing that love actually involved so many complicated matters.
Her mind truly felt chaotic.
At this moment, a voice came from the Den Den Mushi.
"I think you don't actually need to worry about this."
Nahida once again perceived Kitsune Saiguu's feelings.
Her voice was gentle and clear, like a ray of light in the darkness bringing guidance to others.
Kitsune Saiguu looked at the Den Den Mushi and asked in confusion:
"What do you mean?"
Nahida understood that she had already calmed down, so she smiled lightly and asked in return:
"You're both extraordinary beings, so why care about descendants?"
"So that's how it is. It seems I became too fixated."
Kitsune Saiguu froze slightly and immediately understood Nahida's meaning.
That's right.
Neither she nor Su Han were ordinary mortals. If nothing unexpected happened, living for ten thousand years would not even be difficult.
Although Sangonomiya Kokomi could gain some affection through having children,
without emotional foundations, it would all end up meaningless.
She truly had been unable to see the situation clearly while trapped inside it.
Seeing Kitsune Saiguu come to her senses, Nahida smiled happily and said:
"It's good that Sister understands now. I should also rest today, shall we talk again tomorrow?"
"Mhm, see you tomorrow then."
Although Kitsune Saiguu still wanted to ask more gossip-related questions,
she also understood how difficult life was for the Dendro Archon.
It seemed digging deeper into gossip could only wait until next time.
The call ended.
Kitsune Saiguu looked at the cherry blossoms drooping outside the window and suddenly called out:
"Asakusa."
"My lady, what are your orders?"
Hearing Kitsune Saiguu's summons, a shrine maiden with short pink hair quickly walked in from outside.
Her appearance was fairly delicate, but her talent was extremely high.
Although she was only eighteen years old, her strength already ranked within the top five of the shrine.
Looking at the girl kneeling before her, Kitsune Saiguu picked up a list she had just written and said:
"Purchase everything on this list. This afternoon, accompany me to Watatsumi Island."
"Yes, my lady."
Asakusa accepted the list and obediently withdrew.
Smart people never questioned the intentions of those above them. They only needed to handle tasks properly.
At the foot of Mt. Yougou.
Cloud Retainer looked at the Blackwing Second Generation fighter jet with incomparable satisfaction.
"Sure enough, having you by my side makes this adeptus's designs far more smooth and efficient. Why didn't I think of things like seat belts and sensory systems before?"
At this moment, she truly felt a sense of regretting not meeting sooner.
If Su Han had appeared five hundred years ago,
perhaps the impact of the calamity would not have been so severe.
The only pity was that Su Han was an extremely busy person. Otherwise, having him serve at her side would make her laugh even in her sleep.
For a technology enthusiast,
what was often lacking was not companionship, but inspiration from someone truly compatible.
And Su Han just happened to play that role.
Hearing the adeptus's praise, Su Han humbly replied:
"I just have a few more ideas. When it comes to actual blueprint design and detailed research, I still have to rely entirely on you."
Cloud Retainer did not think so. She glanced at Su Han and sighed:
"You, everything about you is good. You're just too humble. If those mortals in Liyue were even half as capable as you, Liyue would probably have prospered for ten thousand years already."
"Forget it, forget it. Being humble is still a good thing…"
"You mentioned civilian aircraft earlier. This adeptus thinks it's possible, but there are still many things I don't quite understand."
"For example, those seats, landing gear, and airports you mentioned. Can you explain them in more detail?"
Su Han looked up at the sky and felt there was probably still enough time.
So, after taking a sip of tea, he continued discussing ideas with the adeptus while sitting together.
That conversation lasted a full three hours.
Evening.
A phone call interrupted the discussion between the two.
Su Han picked up the Den Den Mushi and glanced at it. The caller was Yae Miko.
"Finished work already?"
"Not even close. You can tell just from my voice, my throat is practically hoarse already."
Su Han laughed upon hearing that.
Honestly speaking,
although Yae Miko was sly in the way she handled things and loved teasing people, her voice truly sounded pleasant.
It carried the crispness and charm of southern women from Earth.
But now, it was obvious that her voice sounded unnatural.
Since she was calling at this time, Su Han guessed that something had probably happened, so he asked:
"Do you need my help with something?"
"Oh my, I've finally waited for you to say that. Hurry over to Tenshukaku. Just looking at all this civil engineering work is giving me a headache."
Beside him, Cloud Retainer listened to the fox's deliberately soft and coquettish voice.
For some reason, she suddenly had the urge to punch her.
Only then did Su Han remember the Inazuma reconstruction plan he had discussed with the fox not long ago.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
The fox was very skilled in political affairs, but she naturally knew nothing about civil engineering.
Looks like he really had to personally step in.
Su Han stood up and apologized to Cloud Retainer:
"It seems our conversation can only end here for now. The youkai in Inazuma City still have no permanent residence, and they can't keep occupying the former nobles' homes forever. I need to help draft some design plans."
"Go, go."
Since it was important business,
although Cloud Retainer felt somewhat dissatisfied, she did not try to keep him.
Ten minutes later.
Su Han arrived at Tenshukaku.
Yae Miko, looking exhausted, handed a stack of documents to him.
"Hurry and take a look. I really can't do this anymore."
"When the youkai entered the city, I thought we just needed to arrange a few courtyards for them. But things turned out much more complicated than I imagined."
"And now that the city has regained prosperity…"
"Waste disposal has also become a problem."
"I'm seriously getting worried to death."
The collapse of the two Commissions
made many clans eager to rise up and seize power.
But in reality, Yae Miko did not want to reestablish the Commission positions.
Instead, she wanted to adopt a system similar to Liyue's.
Clans could prosper, but the Commission positions would no longer be hereditary.
However, another issue arose here. Would families later use authority to infiltrate the people and once again achieve hereditary rule?
These were all issues worth paying attention to.
Su Han accepted the documents and carefully read through them.
Gradually,
his expression became increasingly serious.
Inazuma's problems were even more severe than he had imagined.
Su Han picked up a pen and began planning Inazuma City. Since the current population was overcrowded, then they would directly expand it.
Using the current Inazuma City as the foundation, they would establish a new urban district.
He continued writing and sketching.
Occasionally asking for Miko's opinion.
Very quickly, the first draft blueprint appeared on the office desk.
Kujou Sara, who had come to deliver tea and snacks, looked at the densely packed documents and felt her eyes spinning.
Sure enough, these matters were not something she could get involved in.
The Shogun was right.
A warrior only needed to practice martial arts and obey orders.
Yae Miko leaned against Su Han's shoulder, chewing on fragrant fried tofu while praising him with a smile:
"I knew finding you was the right choice!"
"With this plan, Inazuma City can not only expand, but also accommodate even more people."
"Su Han, you're really amazing."
Looking at the soft weight pressing against him,
Su Han felt immense pressure.
"Can you get up first?"
"Why?"
Following Su Han's gaze, Yae Miko immediately noticed the problem.
She instantly laughed mockingly.
"What? Afraid your senior will interrogate you after you go back?"
"And this really doesn't seem like you. Passing up free advantages?"
Faced with the fox's teasing,
Su Han remained unmoved and complained:
"I'm just saying your weight on my shoulder is making me tired. If you want to stay up all night, then feel free to keep sitting there."
"Oh, oh."
Yae Miko hurriedly stood up and even proactively started massaging his shoulders.
At this time, she definitely did not dare offend this great lord.
Everything depended on his hard work right now.
After his shoulders were no longer being disturbed,
Su Han's work efficiency clearly improved.
One document after another was processed by him.
When he saw the conflicts between the youkai and Inazuma's citizens,
Su Han fell into thought.
Seeing this, Yae Miko quickly explained:
"At first, nothing really happened when the youkai and humans lived together. But now both sides are starting to complain. What should we do?"
Su Han glanced at the small hands that had stopped moving.
The other party immediately understood and resumed massaging.
Feeling the comfort on his shoulders, Su Han closed his eyes and let out a comfortable sigh.
"If the youkai want to live in the city, they must change some of their bad habits."
"They cannot demand all kinds of privileges just because their ancestors rendered military merit."
"Now that Inazuma has regained prosperity, some outdated customs naturally need to be abandoned!"
"Lacking cultivation methods does not mean they can act according to their instincts, such as eavesdropping on others or stealing negative emotions from people."
"That violates the will of others."
Yae Miko did not expect Su Han to answer this way.
After thinking carefully about it, she found it quite reasonable.
Were the former two Commissions not exactly ruined in this same manner?
Inazuma not only needed to guard against humans causing trouble, but also prevent youkai from causing chaos. They absolutely could not target only one side.
Yae Miko yawned and asked:
"Then what do you think we should do?"
She was too sleepy now, and it felt like her thoughts were becoming sluggish.
Su Han slowly took out a manga from the Serenitea Pot and handed it to the sleepy fox lady.
"Hm? This is… Under One Person: What It Means to Be Human Arc."
Yae Miko's eyes lit up, and she instantly understood.
So this was the method.
That really would work.
Su Han stretched his stiff neck and habitually leaned backward.
Immediately, a rich fragrance entered his nose.
Hm?
Why is this so soft?
Su Han was still confused when two pairs of eyes suddenly met awkwardly.
Yae Miko looked at him with a cold smile across her face.
It was as though she were asking:
So you disliked me leaning on your shoulder earlier because this is what you wanted?
Su Han blinked and awkwardly said:
"If I say this was an accident, would you believe me?"
"Yes. Whatever you say, this lady will believe."
Yae Miko answered through gritted teeth.
When under another person's roof, one had no choice but to lower their head.
Who told her she needed Su Han's help?
Not to mention bumping into her chest with his face, even personally serving him would be acceptable so long as that person requested it.
How could she possibly refuse?
Seeing that the situation was becoming bad, Su Han coughed to cover his embarrassment and said:
"Let's talk about the youkai situation instead."
"Just like the manga I gave you."
"The What It Means to Be Human Arc is actually meant to teach people how to become someone useful to the world."
"In truth, this is also very useful for youkai."
"Hold your head high and abandon beastly nature."
"Only then can they become truly powerful youkai of Inazuma."
Yae Miko had originally still been angry.
But when Su Han spoke about his ideals, she could not help being attracted by his way of thinking.
"Hold your head high and abandon beastly nature."
"Well said!"
"Some youkai really are far too unrestrained. But since they had only recently arrived, it wasn't convenient for me to criticize them."
"Now that I've heard your words…"
"I realize I've been somewhat too merciful."
Admiration arose in Yae Miko's heart.
A problem that had troubled her for several days was solved by Su Han with a single glance.
He truly was incredible.
