"The Uchiha Clan? Is it a cursed clan?"
Miyashiro's response completely shocked Charlotte and Kokomi, who were present. What kind of statement was that?
At the same time, it also made Charlotte feel like she had hit the jackpot; she hadn't expected that a question she had thrown out casually would turn out to be like digging up a great treasure.
Charlotte hurriedly picked up her notebook to take notes and asked, "Regent, what do you mean by the curse you mentioned?"
Miyashiro smiled slightly but did not answer. Just as Charlotte thought Miyashiro was going to skip answering this question, she suddenly noticed that his entire demeanor had changed. A cold, chilling aura emanated from within him, giving Charlotte a feeling of dread.
Immediately afterward, Charlotte discovered with astonishment that the Regent's originally pitch-black eyes had turned scarlet. Within the pupils, three tomoe appeared, rotating in a bizarre manner, giving off an inexplicable, eerie feeling.
Charlotte asked stammeringly, "Re... Regent, your... your eyes..."
Miyashiro smiled and said, "These eyes are called the Sharingan, also known as the Mirror of the Heart. They are eyes that only those with the bloodline of the Uchiha Clan have the qualification and chance to awaken. However, once these eyes are awakened, it means the curse of the Uchiha Clan has completely fallen upon oneself."
Looking at the pair of scarlet eyes in Miyashiro's gaze, Charlotte did not feel terrified; instead, she found them to have a peculiar charm, which made her embolden herself to ask, "Can I take a picture of your eyes?"
Miyashiro was stunned for a moment, gaining a new understanding of Charlotte's boldness. She was the first person to dare stare at his Sharingan so defenselessly.
It was only because Miyashiro had a good temper and wanted to build the reputation of the Uchiha Clan in Teyvat; otherwise, he would definitely have let her experience the terror of the Sharingan.
Charlotte used her Kamera to take a photo of Miyashiro's Sharingan. It is estimated that even Charlotte herself did not realize that the photo she took at the Regents Office this time would become her greatest asset in becoming the number one reporter in Teyvat in the future.
Because apart from Charlotte, no other reporter would ever be able to capture a real photo of a Uchiha Clan member's Sharingan.
After taking the photo, Charlotte asked, "Regent, this Sharingan you mentioned looks very cool. Is this what you call the curse?"
Miyashiro nodded and said, "That's right. The Sharingan is actually a special hereditary disease. As long as one possesses the genes of the Uchiha Clan and meets certain conditions, there is a chance of contracting this disease."
Although the existence of these eyes can make members of the Uchiha Clan rapidly become stronger, this power comes with a price.
Whether one is swallowed by darkness and falls into evil along with the power brought by these eyes, or continues to hold onto their original heart amidst immense pain, all depends on one's own fate.
From the perspective of clan revitalization, as the head of the Uchiha Clan, I naturally hope that the more clan members who possess these eyes, the better. But personally, I would rather they never possess these cursed eyes in their entire lives and live out their lives in peace."
Charlotte nodded while taking notes and said, "I see, I understand that. Any power that allows someone to become strong rapidly must come with a price. Regent, could you introduce the special abilities and powers of the Sharingan?"
Miyashiro smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I cannot. As for the abilities, conditions for awakening, and the costs associated with these eyes, they are classified as family secrets of our Uchiha Clan and will not be disclosed."
"Alright, Miss Charlotte, your three opportunities for questions have been used up. Let's bring today's exclusive interview to a close. Surely your news draft will be able to make the front page of The Steambird now, right?"
Although the last question left Charlotte feeling somewhat confused but awestruck, the previous gains were already more than enough, allowing her to excitedly guarantee, "There will definitely be no problem now. Thank you, Regent, for your generosity."
Miyashiro: "You're welcome. I also hope that through this opportunity, the people of Teyvat will know that there is a Uchiha Clan in Inazuma."
After speaking, Miyashiro instructed Kokomi to escort Charlotte out of the Regents Office, while Miyashiro remained seated and began to ponder.
When Kokomi returned to the reception room after seeing Charlotte off, she saw Miyashiro sitting there with a worried expression and couldn't help but ask, "Regent, what's the matter?"
Miyashiro: "It's nothing. I just feel that some things need to be prepared for in advance."
After speaking, Miyashiro stood up and returned to the backyard, beginning to ponder what kind of family rules he, as the head of the Uchiha Clan, should establish for the clan.
The next morning, the dock at Ritou was packed with people. A large number of onlookers surrounded the Ritou dock. Some people didn't even know what they were watching; they just followed the crowd out of curiosity, wanting to see what everyone else was looking at.
In fact, the reason was very simple. It was because Miyashiro had learned the approximate arrival time of the Sumeru delegation to Inazuma through a private connection with Nahida, which is why he had come to the Ritou dock in advance to welcome the Sumeru delegation.
If it were just a standard entourage, it naturally wouldn't have caused such a big stir. After all, during this period, the people of Inazuma had personally experienced the visits of several big figures from various nations and had developed a certain immunity; it wasn't like they hadn't seen them before, so what was there to make such a fuss about?
However, the protagonist this time was not himself. Because Raiden Ei, the deity of Inazuma who usually stayed deep within her residence, had actually appeared at the Ritou dock, as if waiting for something. This was the reason that had attracted so many onlookers.
Miyashiro was the Regent of the nation, second only to one and above ten thousand. Logically, given his status, he was qualified to welcome dignitaries from any country. But today, not only did Miyashiro come in person, but even the deity of Inazuma had come here to welcome them. The implications were enough for the onlookers to carefully ponder.
Some onlookers who were well-versed in diplomatic etiquette had already guessed something: the only people who could make our Shogun personally welcome them were the deities of other nations.
This very reasonable conjecture was immediately accepted by everyone; they just didn't know which deity was about to arrive.
