He definitely knew that he and Kitsune Saiguu were impossible, but he still had to pull some tanuki youkai-style antics…
What the hell…
He was probably still hoping to have a fake duel with Kitsune Saiguu or something…
But Ioroi would eventually have to face reality.
Still, matters of parting should be handled more gently.
There was no need to be too harsh on Ioroi, that tanuki youkai.
It would be better to make up a story for him first — that Kitsune Saiguu couldn't find Ioroi, so she threw a tantrum and ran off to travel on the Astral Express.
However, this rumor concerning his and Lady Kitsune Saiguu's innocence still needed to be put to an end as soon as possible.
But how should he end it?
Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou had a headache. This rumor had clearly already gained momentum. If the authorities stepped in, they would definitely go too far, and it might end up exploding in popularity like the Nine-Turn Purifying Net Gu…
Sigh… What a pain. Pretending not to care would be the same as tacitly accepting it… At that point this rumor would have to be written into Inazuma's history books…
This was a bit tricky…
Given his identity, it was impossible for him to use other explosive scandals to divert attention…
Whatever. At the very least, he should give an official explanation first.
Define this matter as consuming the deceased…
No, don't forget that Torachiyo's story was a key politically correct book from Yae Publishing House…
Damn it. His and Lady Kitsune Saiguu's innocence was probably truly gone…
Then the only option was to tell the truth and inform the people of Inazuma to believe the authorities and not to trust those unofficial folk histories…
But the effect would definitely be minimal…
In the end, it would absolutely become a carnival for the people who enjoyed chaos…
The old uncle began making arrangements with Kamisato Ayato.
"This matter definitely needs to be managed. At the very least, we need to issue an official announcement informing the public that Kitsune Saiguu and I were not husband and wife…"
Yae Miko, who was standing to the side, froze for a moment, then fell into thought.
She naturally missed the late Lady Kitsune Saiguu. Otherwise, she would not have accepted Hanachirusato's existence.
But regarding this rumor…
If the authorities were going to define it, then it would be quite normal for her to do some literary creation as well, right?
Lady Kitsune Saiguu would not care about this kind of rumor.
If she were still around, she would definitely choose to tease Cid, that fellow.
Speaking of which, Miyuki's book about Miyo Chiyo seemed to be almost finished, right?
"The Shura Anyakonsen-shou's Fox Immortal Deceased Wife"
This title was pretty good. She would arrange for Miyuki to write it. It just so happened that Miyuki had recently been writing about Chiyo's story and could be considered to have some understanding of the history from five hundred years ago…
After the Shura Anyakonsen-shou finished handling his affairs, he let out a helpless sigh.
"Did I… cause trouble for Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou?"
Hanachirusato's tone was slightly reserved.
"No. You're not trouble at all. It's just that you might need to use some Onmyodo to conceal your presence for a while. Otherwise, the Grand Narukami Shrine will probably have a lot of busybodies coming to look for you recently…"
After thinking for a moment, the old uncle proposed a solution.
"How about you go stay at my Shura Shrine for a while to avoid the spotlight? Yae Miko also said that she's already taught you everything she needed to teach. Having you stay at my Shura Shrine afterward as a bridge between humans and youkai wouldn't be bad either…"
Faced with Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou's invitation, Hanachirusato agreed without even thinking.
"I'll listen to Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou."
"Ara-ara~ Once you go there, will you even be able to come back?"
Yae Miko made a small sarcastic remark from the side.
She had only just finished teaching the person, and now he was immediately taking her away to work?
Did he still have a conscience? Did he still respect the law?
