Chapter 249 - Chapter 249: Little Barbara's Letter

Time is sometimes the best medicine.

Although knowing that little Eula would head to Mondstadt alone was heartbreaking news, as the busy days spent ensuring little Eula's safety began to pass,

that sorrowful feeling in the heart slowly began to fade, eventually turning into a deep-seated concern and care for little Eula at the bottom of the heart.

And with the fall of the Kujou Clan and the Hiiragi Clan, Inazuma also began a new chapter.

Although a blood transfusion had been carried out in advance, the network of connections was still quite large after all. The two great commissions of Inazuma still had many vacant official positions.

The following matters were relatively simple.

No matter who you were—whether a commoner, someone from a humble background, or even from a clan, or relatives of the surviving criminals from the Kujou Clan—as long as you had ability and could pass the exam, you could take office.

As long as your values aligned with making Inazuma better and you had the capability, you could come work.

However, there were also some who, right after taking office, planned to seek benefits for their own families...

Did they really think the Shura Anyakonsen-shou's blade was dull?

Did they think I recruited so many people and arranged such high salaries and subsidies for nothing?

With such good conditions and still not getting the job done—then step down and let someone else take over. Anyway, the pay is high and the benefits are good. As long as you work honestly, it's an iron rice bowl. There are plenty of people who want to be civil servants like that.

Although there were still some problems, such as the completely unequal educational resources between commoners and nobles...

No big deal. Did they think the Kamisato Clan and Yae Publishing House existed for nothing?

The cultural gap would only grow smaller and smaller. In the future, with the Raiden Shogun watching over everything, Inazuma would charge straight toward the eternity of tomorrow.

And as government affairs became more transparent and manpower became abundant, everyone in the Kamisato Clan finally became more relaxed. To deal with external threats, one must first secure the interior. Currently, there were no major internal issues left, and diplomacy was also proceeding smoothly.

For example, right now, the old uncle had received a reply letter from little Barbara in Mondstadt.

Subject: I miss you.

Sender: Barbara

Time: (blank)

Uncle, have you been thinking of me?

I received your reply letter. It's unavoidable for adventurers to encounter accidents during their travels...

I can tell that big sister Eula must be a very strong yet pitiful person. Uncle, you have to take good care of her, okay?

Although it's a pity that I can't meet Uncle right now, big sister told me that not seeing each other temporarily is so we can meet again in the future.

["Parting is for a better reunion."]

But Uncle, I still miss you so much. When exactly will we see each other again?

Ah, I don't mean to rush Uncle... It's just... um...

Uncle, just take your time at your own pace. You must be careful and stay safe.

Lately, I've also heard from big sister Rosaria about Uncle's adventures exploring Dragonspine. I feel like Uncle will definitely become an amazing adventurer!

And now more and more people are coming to listen to me sing. Many say that after hearing me sing, their mood gets much better, and they always come back to listen again.

So I should be helping everyone, right?

And this should also count as what Auntie Alice calls... a fan base?

Mm! In short, when Uncle becomes a great adventurer and comes to Mondstadt, I will definitely hold a grand concert!

I'm really looking forward to our reunion!

Wuu...

One last thing: recently, big sister Eula's cousin, Uncle Adrian, has become big sister's senior, with the codename "Waveflame Knight."

He often helps everyone in the city. He's a good person, and everyone praises how nice his voice is when he speaks.

This Uncle Adrian specially asked me to trouble you in hopes of getting Uncle's recognition, but then he awkwardly said it wasn't necessary, and finally put it this way...

["I swear upon my still-immature virtue: The stars and righteousness you taught me will one day become medals on the armor of my future journey."]

Mm... right now Uncle Adrian is a bit emotional and is squatting red-faced in the corner...

(The letter ends here.)
