[Didn't understand. Isn't this 12+?]
[Those who didn't understand, please sit at the same table as Paimon.]
[Can I sit at the same table as Yiya? It's fine even if there's no seat.]
[The person above is really calculating loudly!]
[Simply put, the Shiba Family believes in Jun Bai, but in terms of position belongs to Raiden Shogun's faction. Therefore, the Shiba Family does not belong to any of the Three Commissions, but is directly under Raiden Shogun.]
[So the Shiba Family actually has no real power. But I still don't see the connection with the Amamiya Family's training method. I'll wait for the plot to reveal it later.]
[Then let's keep watching.]
"Cannot participate in politics? But you are currently the Omamori managing Narukami Island." Jun Mo Li found the key point.
"Hehe. In front of the Three Commissions, Omamori doesn't really count as an official position. The Hiiragi Shinsuke just now was giving face to the Fifth Generation Head of the Shiba Family, not to the Narukami Omamori."
Amamiya Kotoya said with a light laugh.
After all, the Omamori position was essentially split off from Kanjou Commission's duties, so it naturally wouldn't have much real power. That was why Amamiya Kotoya said this.
"The Shiba Family is directly under Raiden Shogun. Even without real power, it's not something the Hiiragi Family can afford to offend."
Shiba Kaoru stroked the Vision on his chest and said:
"When the Shiba Family swore loyalty, they not only became a family directly under Raiden Shogun, but also received a mission from Raiden Shogun's hands."
"What kind of mission?"
Paimon, acting as the mouth substitute, asked the question that both Lumine and Jun Mo Li were curious about.
"Exorcising evil spirits. In Liyue's terms, it's exorcising demons and protecting the righteous path." Shiba Kaoru said.
[Is it similar to Chongyun's family?]
[It sounds like it, but in reality, judging from the current plot, the Shiba Family's status in all aspects cannot be equated with Chongyun's family.]
[Chongyun's family is a jianghu family, but this Shiba Family is officially recognized.]
[Moreover, Chongyun's family isn't really that important to Liyue because of the existence of the Yaksha clan.]
"It sounds similar to Liyue's fangshi families."
After thinking with her brain that lacked grooves, Paimon evaluated the Shiba Family.
"No. The nature is the same, but the difference is actually quite large."
Jun Mo Li shook his head. There was also a trace of surprise in his eyes:
"If I'm not mistaken, what the Shiba Family is responsible for is all the evil spirits within Inazuma's borders."
"Ordinary monsters are minor matters. If I'm not mistaken, what you mainly deal with are Archon remnants."
Shiba Kaoru and Amamiya Kotoya — one remained silent, one smiled — but neither denied it.
[So the Shiba Family is actually equivalent to Chongyun's fangshi family plus Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?]
[It's a Wangsheng Funeral Parlor that doesn't hold funerals.]
"Archon remnants? Aren't those extremely dangerous things?"
Paimon, who had reacted, exclaimed in shock.
Yiya didn't know what Archon remnants were, but upon hearing the term, she felt her scalp go numb.
"When the targets are Archon remnants, no amount of training would be excessive."
Jun Mo Li understood the Amamiya Family's training method.
He still wanted to ask something else, but the two people walking at the very front stopped at this moment.
"Everyone, welcome to Narukami Island."
Amamiya Kotoya turned around and showed everyone the gentlest smile she had given so far.
——Reality
"Everyone, welcome to Narukami Island."
The scene transitioned from Amamiya Kotoya's smile to the buildings on Narukami Island, beginning to show players Inazuma's in-game demonstration from various angles.
[Who wants to see your in-game demonstration! I want to see Rain Wife's smile!]
[Seriously pondering the setting about the Shiba Family just now — this really is that Shiba Family!]
[Raiden Shogun is the lord, the Shiba Family is the samurai family with天下御免, and Archon remnants are the outer path crowd...]
[One Stroke Submission! The天下御免侍战队, True Sword Wielders! Present! (roll call.jpg)]
[Thinking seriously, it seems the Prince's origin text power is Lightning attribute, so Shiba Kaoru...]
(The Prince has dual attributes. Fire was trained, Lightning was originally there. The Dance of Lightning is proof.)
(There are segments where the Prince is practicing fire text power.)
While the chat friends were discussing the Shiba Family, after watching the in-game demonstration, Huohuo commented: "It has a very Japanese country style. It's just that the houses seem a bit short."
"After getting used to Guili Assembly's national-style architecture, now having to adapt to Inazuma's style is quite difficult."
After arriving at Narukami Island, free movement became possible.
Huohuo prioritized opening waypoints, then went to the Adventurers' Guild to talk to Katheryne and unlock daily commissions for the Inazuma region.
(This was requested by the protagonist to the development team.)
(You have to complete the first segment of the main story before daily commissions for the corresponding region are unlocked. I've always felt this was quite stupid.)
Only then did Huohuo head toward the Shiba Family — the second-largest building in Inazuma City.
The largest building was naturally Tenshukaku, which had been shown in the PV. It was normal for Raiden Shogun's residence to be built more grandly.
However, in the eyes of players who had seen Fengdeng Lou, Tenshukaku was only at a passable level.
On par with the Jade Chamber, perhaps.
[You can tell there's a wealth gap between Liyue and Inazuma. Ningguang's office and the Raiden Shogun's residence are on the same scale.]
[I won't compare it to something like the Ziwei Star Palace that 84 generations of Ziwei Stars worked on for 3000 years, but you don't even match Fengdeng Lou — isn't that a bit shabby?]
[Liyue has over a thousand treasure chests. Whoever compares with Liyue is the shabby side...]
Huohuo arrived at the Shiba Family and talked with Amamiya Kotoya.
Amamiya Kotoya: "This is the Shiba Residence. Please stay here for this period of time."
Paimon: "Thank you very much."
Shiba Kaoru: "You're welcome. You are the Marshal's friends and elder brother. Lady Yiya is even the Marshal's other self. The Shiba Family naturally must provide the highest level of hospitality."
Yiya: "Yiyaduo~" (Happy~)
Then came dialogue options — asking questions to Shiba Kaoru or to Amamiya Kotoya.
Huohuo chose to ask the gentle big sister.
Aether: "Miss Amamiya, I want to meet Raiden Shogun. I wonder if, with the Shiba Family's influence, there is a way to introduce me to Raiden Shogun?"
Amamiya Kotoya: "Introduce you to the Shogun?"
Amamiya Kotoya: "Even the Three Commissions have no way to face the Shogun directly. Although the Shiba Family is directly managed by the Shogun, arranging an introduction is still quite difficult."
Amamiya Kotoya: "As a retainer of the Shiba Family, I naturally have no way."
Aether: "I see. Thank you."
Amamiya Kotoya: "However, the Family Head may have a way."
Paimon: "Didn't you say that even for the Shiba Family, arranging a meeting with the Shogun is difficult?"
Amamiya Kotoya: "I only said arranging a meeting with the Shogun is difficult. But meeting the Shogun — the Family Head definitely has a way~"
Shiba Kaoru: "..."
Shiba Kaoru: "Every time an evil spirit is exorcised, it represents Inazuma becoming more stable, and brings us one step closer to the Eternity the Shogun believes in."
Shiba Kaoru: "Therefore, after exorcising evil spirits, the current head of the Shiba Family must go to Tenshukaku to report the situation to the Shogun."
Shiba Kaoru: "At that time, all of you may go together."
