Miss Hanachirusato was very clear that although she possessed Lady Kitsune Saiguu's memories, she was indeed not Kitsune Saiguu.
In terms of essence, she was merely filth that had survived thanks to Lady Kitsune Saiguu's lingering grace.
Yae Miko, looking at this obviously well-behaved Hanachirusato, also made a clear distinction from Kitsune Saiguu.
But at the same time, she saw through Hanachirusato's essence.
Just as the Raiden Shogun was the continuation of Ei's Eternity, Hanachirusato was the continuation of Kitsune Saiguu's protection of Inazuma.
Yae Miko could not help but glance at Miss Aurora Mamoru Mei beside her, who was a problem in her own right.
Then she extended her hand and placed it on Hanachirusato's shoulder.
"Alright, alright, why make the atmosphere so heavy? Five hundred years have already passed, and I'm not sad in the slightest~"
Hanachirusato looked at Yae Miko, who was smiling a little too calmly at this moment.
Faced with Hanachirusato, who possessed Kitsune Saiguu's memories and was clearly not easy to fool, Yae Miko could only drag the Shura Anyakonsen-shou beside her into the conversation.
"Although you've heard of Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou's deeds, in addition to having quite a bit of insight when it comes to governing state affairs, he is actually also very good at taking care of people."
At this time she could only speak the truth, because spending time together with Cid, that fellow, really did make her feel at ease.
Hanachirusato looked at the old uncle. Recalling how the old uncle had taken care of the team members along the way, she nodded in agreement.
Then she remembered Ioroi's words.
[Are you trying to fool this one? Then how do you explain the not-at-all ordinary thick fox scent belonging to the Hakushin bloodline currently on your body?]
Wait… Lady Yae Guuji and Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou actually had an unexpectedly good relationship…
And now the expression on Yae Miko's face when she mentioned Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou…
It was quite similar to how she looked as a child — carefree and fond of fried tofu…
"Lady Yae Miko has also made some very good friends."
Seeing that Hanachirusato acknowledged her, Yae Miko felt satisfied. Then she began sending the guest away in the classic "cross the river and destroy the bridge" manner.
"Cid, for what comes next, I need to teach Hanachirusato some shrine affairs that need to be learned, and then there are also some rather private topics. Could you step aside for a bit?"
For the old uncle, who had already seen Yae Miko accept her elder's "daughter," he naturally did not mind Yae Miko's deliberate avoidance.
Yae Miko helping Hanachirusato integrate into human society was a good thing.
"Alright, then I'll go take care of other things first. I'll come visit Hanachirusato at your place next time."
And so he set off once more together with Miss Aurora Mamoru Mei and little Sara.
There was no helping it. State affairs were endless, because new state affairs appeared every single moment.
Yae Miko watched the Shura Anyakonsen-shou fly off into the distance. Then she looked at the very well-behaved Hanachirusato beside her and revealed a trashy fox smile.
"Guuji-sama, when becoming a shrine maiden, what should I learn first?"
"Shrine maiden knowledge isn't important. First, I'll tell you some important things…
First point: If there's something, go find the Shura Anyakonsen-shou. If there's nothing, you can also go find the Shura Anyakonsen-shou…
Cid really likes foxes. If you want to build a good relationship with him, you can turn into a little fox…
Ah, right, you might not know who Cid is. The Shura Anyakonsen-shou's surname is Kagerou, given name Cid.
But rather than his name, he prefers being called Old Uncle by children. After being called that for so long, he seems to have lost his own name…"
Hanachirusato, listening to Yae Miko talk about the Shura Anyakonsen-shou, simply listened quietly.
And combining it with her own experiences, she came to a conclusion.
The Shura Anyakonsen-shou is the old uncle, and he is a good person.
