Walking a little further would lead to Kamisato Estate, which is the location of the Shuumatsuban, but if you, a small magazine reporter, run there to use the restroom, are you treating the Shuumatsuban as a public restroom?
Among these people, there were also several female reporters. Durandal did not act against them. This was her last bit of pity, and also because she needed their help for subsequent actions.
Durandal whispered her plan into Yae Miko's ear. After hearing Durandal's idea, Yae Miko gave a thumbs-up and praised her.
"Great idea, I'll take care of the rest."
After speaking, Yae Miko walked with elegant steps towards the female reporters at the torii gate, leaving Durandal and Hanachirusato behind.
Hanachirusato didn't follow the two's thoughts the whole time, and only reacted after Durandal had finished everything.
He didn't feel sorry for those who were affected. When those people caused trouble for others, they wouldn't think about whether the photos they took would cause trouble for the person involved.
"Miss Shrine Priestess (Head Priestess), what is she going to do?"
"Talk to those people and say that those with stomach pain are experiencing it because their hearts are not sincere and they are greatly disrespectful to the gods, which is why they have such a reaction. At the same time, she will hint to those few people to photograph the bad deeds those people might commit next. This will be used as a means to attack the other newspaper agencies and as material for the next issue of the magazine. I believe those people will definitely accept this suggestion obediently."
"All... alright."
Possible bad deeds? In a situation with stomach pain and no restroom, what 'bad deeds' would those people commit?
Ugh, wow~ At least his candid photos were pretty. This time, those people's candid photos would be images that would lead to their social death.
Durandal doing this was not only a warning to the magazine that secretly photographed him, but also a warning to other newspaper agencies: if they dared to do such a thing again, the next punishment would not be so light.
Seriously, although she was a little bothered by those people secretly taking pictures of her, to warn those people, she punished everyone from all the newspaper agencies. Wasn't that a bit too much?
"This has nothing to do with you. I simply don't want to see my people being exploited. They took your photos without your permission and then used them to make money. This is going against me. This punishment is already very light; I can't let them off any easier."
The punishment Durandal inflicted on them this time would only last for two days. In fact, she could have punished them for a week or even longer, like she did with the Fatui.
But considering Hanachirusato's feelings, she changed it to two days, so those people would understand what they had done wrong. If they dared to do such a thing again, next time it wouldn't be two days, but a week or even longer of stomach upset.
Although Durandal had clearly stated that she was doing this for her own dignity, Hanachirusato had seen through everything. Faced with such insincere Durandal, Hanachirusato finally couldn't help but laugh.
With that laugh, he realized something was wrong, and looking up, he indeed saw Durandal had returned to her usual cold expression.
When facing ordinary people, this expression was fine, but when facing acquaintances, this expression meant she was angry.
"You laughed just now, didn't you?"
"I... I'm sorry, my Lord. Please listen to me, I didn't mean to..."
"I already told you about this last time, and yet you did it again. I won't forgive you this time; you must accept your punishment."
Without another word, Durandal grabbed Hanachirusato's hand and led her to her inn in Inazuma City.
Then she removed Hanachirusato's fox mask, ignoring her flustered and shy expression.
"You seem very uncomfortable with taking off your mask. In that case, my punishment for you is to let me take a few photos of you without wearing a mask."
Saying that, Durandal paused, then continued, "You also have to change into clothes other than your Shrine Maiden attire. You don't need to worry about these clothes; I've already prepared them for you."
With a wave of her hand, a pile of clothes of various styles appeared on the bed, making Hanachirusato's eyes widen as she wanted to beg Durandal for forgiveness.
But Durandal would not accept so easily. She mercilessly refused Hanachirusato, picked up the Kamera, and said,
"From now on, you can't stop, Hanachirusato, until I'm satisfied."
