Miyashiro's words had a rather scummy vibe, but for the Uchiha Clan, who possessed the Sharingan, it was indeed a matter worth considering.
In Miyashiro's original plan, the secrets of the Uchiha Clan had to be kept until the woman had given birth to a child. After all, dating didn't necessarily lead to a lasting relationship, and even after marriage, divorce was a possibility. But a child was the bond that linked two people, not something that could be easily severed.
And for the sake of their own children's safety, they would surely keep the secrets of the Uchiha Clan under tight lock and key.
Miyashiro did not want the Uchiha Clan's foundations to be thoroughly scrutinized by people of all nations as they were in the Naruto World, where everyone knew the methods to deal with the Uchiha Clan. Senju Tobirama was definitely to blame for much of this.
As the Second Hokage, he had actually researched the origin, causes, and even the triggering conditions of the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan with absolute clarity. One could only wonder how many members of the Uchiha Clan he had secretly dissected.
Coincidentally, Teyvat also had quite a few mad scientists. Once they learned of the magical aspects of the Uchiha Clan, they might well set their sights on the members of the Uchiha Clan.
Miyashiro himself had already achieved great strength and did not fear these threats, but his descendants might not be so fortunate.
Therefore, for the safety of his future generations, that Doctor from Snezhnaya had already topped Miyashiro's hit list. If there was ever a chance to kill him in one blow in the future, Miyashiro would definitely not let it pass.
Unfortunately, Miyashiro's seemingly reasonable and well-founded explanation did not make Sara, Eula, and Ayaka retreat in the face of difficulty. Without exception, all three of them expressed their determination to Miyashiro, insisting on staying.
Sara knelt on one knee and said, "Lord Clan Head, I was originally an orphaned tengu taken in by Kujou Takayuki. Under his guidance, I upheld the path of loyalty and righteousness. Although I served as a general of the Tenryou Commission, I was never truly able to integrate into the Kujou Clan, which led to me being deceived by Kujou Takayuki after he went astray."
"It was you who told me the truth, allowing me to correct the course at the last moment and fulfill my path of loyalty and righteousness. Even if I suffered punishment from the Shogun afterwards and was stripped of my Kujou surname, I have no regrets."
"It was also you who gave me a chance at a new life. Ever since you bestowed the surname Uchiha upon me, I have sworn in my heart that this time, I want to truly integrate into the Uchiha Clan, to weather the storms, face the hardships, and move forward hand in hand with the Uchiha. Therefore, I ask that the Clan Head grant my wish."
Miyashiro nodded upon hearing this and said, "Sara, I know of your determination and loyalty. Since you have made up your mind, then stay."
The gloom on Sara's face instantly vanished, and she perked up, smiling, "Yes! Lord Clan Head."
Miyashiro turned his gaze to Eula. Eula's eyes were still red, and she said despondently, "Miyashiro, do you know? A few days ago, I met Acting Grand Master Jean. She told me that all adult members of the Lawrence Family in Mondstadt were executed on the day I left for Inazuma."
"According to Acting Grand Master Jean, the people of Mondstadt have mixed opinions about my actions, but most still consider me a traitor to my family. There is no longer a place for me in Mondstadt."
"Hearing this news, on the nights without you by my side, I always have nightmares. I dream of my uncles, great-uncles, aunts, and even my cousins—three generations of the Lawrence Family—appearing in my dreams one after another, seeking my life."
"After waking up from these nightmares, I know that I can no longer turn back. Now I am all alone, and my only thought is of you, Miyashiro. I don't care who else is by your side, but there must be a place for me."
"If you are determined to drive me away today, I will hold this grudge against you for the rest of my life!"
Listening to Eula's heartfelt words, Miyashiro felt full of guilt towards her. The end of the Lawrence Family could be said to have been planned by him, and then executed by Eula herself.
This ending was too heavy for Eula. He had actually overlooked such an important point, causing Eula to be plagued by nightmares every day during this period.
Although Eula, like Shenhe, had married far away into Inazuma, Shenhe at least had Ganyu and Yelan for company in Inazuma. But what about Eula? As a Mondstadter, she was friendless in Inazuma, with only him to rely on.
Miyashiro stepped forward and pulled Eula into his arms, gently stroking her smooth back to comfort her. "I'm sorry, I've neglected you during this time. Stay, just stay."
Hearing Miyashiro's words, Eula finally broke into a tearful smile and swayed over to stand behind Shenhe, waiting.
Finally, the gaze of Miyashiro and the others fell upon Ayaka, increasing the pressure on her. But she quickly adjusted her mindset and said, "Miyashiro, I would like to renounce the Kamisato surname starting today and change it to Uchiha. Is that possible?"
Miyashiro: "You are the renowned Shirasagi Himegimi of Inazuma. Wouldn't such a move seem a bit hasty?"
Ayaka smiled and said, "It's just a matter of time. I might as well get used to it in advance. Besides, I don't really like the title 'Shirasagi Himegimi'."
Miyashiro: "Why is that?"
Ayaka: "Because whenever this title is mentioned, the first thing the people of Inazuma think of is the Demoiselle of the Kamisato Clan, not the Fourth Lady of the Uchiha Clan."
"From now on, Ayato is the head of the Kamisato Clan, and I am Uchiha Ayaka. Although we remain siblings, we now belong to two different families."
Ayaka's words made Miyashiro look at her with new eyes, and he also revealed a gratified smile. To be honest, among his four women, the one Miyashiro was most worried about was actually Ayaka.
It was not because she had been with him for the shortest amount of time, nor because he had a bad first impression of her, but because Ayaka had not yet properly balanced the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and the Kamisato Clan.
Sara and Eula had almost zero power left in their natal families; apart from Miyashiro himself, they had no one to rely on.
But Ayaka was different. The Kamisato Clan was a prestigious family in Inazuma for centuries, and Ayaka's brother, Ayato, was the current head of the Kamisato Clan.
If Ayaka failed to realize the difference between the Kamisato Clan and the Uchiha Clan, then given the relationship between Ayato and Ayaka as siblings, she might very well inadvertently spill the beans and cause a leak of secrets.
But Ayaka's words just now undoubtedly indicated that she was already aware of this matter.
Miyashiro nodded and said, "Since you have realized this, then stay."
"Alright, since everyone has expressed their stance, I can finally explain. The next thing I say might shock you: in fact, just like the Traveler, I am not from this world."
As soon as Miyashiro said this, to his surprise, Shenhe, Sara, Eula, and Ayaka did not show any signs of shock. Instead, they wore expressions that suggested they had expected this all along, looking at him quietly as if saying: "Is that all?"
