No one knew what Miss Delezie and Hiiragi Chisato talked about. They conversed in the courtyard, and one could hear their conversation if they got a little closer.
Some people assisting the Shuushin Family wanted to secretly approach to hear what they were talking about, but before they could listen, they felt uncomfortable all over, as if they had a severe cold.
But when they moved away, that uncomfortable feeling disappeared. They then understood that this feeling came from Miss Delezie; she had noticed their eavesdropping and this was their punishment for it.
Miss Delezie's news was no secret to these families; a little investigation could reveal what she had done in Inazuma City.
Especially her Duel Before the Throne with Raiden Shogun; this was almost a household matter.
With Hiiragi Shinsuke just taken away, Miss Delezie came to talk with Hiiragi Chisato, which was at least considered a friendly conversation.
Although no one knew what they talked about, judging from Hiiragi Chisato personally seeing Miss Delezie off, it was highly probable that Hiiragi Chisato had received Miss Delezie's protection.
This deterred those who wanted to take advantage of Hiiragi Shinsuke's arrest by the Tenryou Commission to remove Hiiragi Chisato and elevate their own families.
Is Miss Delezie strong? Very strong, extremely powerful, so powerful that even the Raiden Shogun is not her opponent.
Besides that, Miss Delezie's medical skills are also particularly formidable. Many rumors have spread in Mondstadt and Liyue, and her performance in Inazuma City during this time also shows that many of those rumors are true.
Such a powerful person protecting Hiiragi Chisato is enough for Hiiragi Chisato to establish her position in the Tenryou Commission. She might even be able to contact the Shogun through Miss Delezie.
Now, no one dared to underestimate Hiiragi Chisato. If Hiiragi Chisato left the Tenryou Commission, no one could guarantee that the next person to become family head would be as important as Hiiragi Chisato.
They might even provoke Miss Delezie, and be dealt with unnoticed. Those people were all afraid of death, and these concerns were enough to make them calm down.
This matter quickly spread, and both the Tenryou Commission and the Shuumatsuban learned of it.
Kamisato Ayato, the head of the Shuumatsuban, learned of this matter immediately. After a brief thought, he understood Miss Delezie's intention: she was elevating Hiiragi Chisato's position within the Tenryou Commission.
Hiiragi Chisato, backed by Miss Delezie, was no longer a package that the Tenryou Commission wanted to push out. If she were treated as a puppet that could be controlled at will, the families assisting the Tenryou Commission would definitely face a miserable end.
Even if they held significant positions in Inazuma, in front of Miss Delezie, everything they possessed was nothing, utterly useless.
What Kamisato Ayato hadn't expected was that Miss Delezie would help to such an extent, even putting herself forward to support Hiiragi Chisato.
"Helping the Tenryou Commission doesn't hold much value for her, yet she still did it. Was it because of Hiiragi Shinsuke's request? Perhaps when he was taken away, he did ask her, hoping she could help Hiiragi Chisato. But she had every reason to do nothing, yet she still did it."
At the Kamisato Estate, Kamisato Ayato, seated in the main seat, said this while looking at Kamisato Ayaka, who was fanning herself beside him.
"It seems this lady is just as you said, outwardly cold but inwardly warm, and quite kind. You didn't misjudge her, Ayaka."
"Haha~ Brother, you flatter me. Actually, at first, I was a little unsure. But after hearing the children in Ritou and Inazuma City praise Miss Delezie, I was certain that she is actually quite kind."
Kamisato Ayato nodded. It seemed Kamisato Ayaka was still unaware of some information, namely that Miss Delezie had a very poor attitude towards members of the Fatui.
It was fine when they didn't meet, but if she found an opportunity, she would usually deal with those people, and their ultimate fate was always tragic.
These are clues collected by the Shuumatsuban ninja. It can be said that Durandal is quite ruthless when dealing with enemies.
But when it comes to familiar people or children, her attitude is particularly kind, and her tolerance is quite high.
Once before, a Shuumatsuban ninja saw Durandal playing with children in Inazuma City. Several children jumped on Durandal, and she only pretended to be angry, gently tapping their heads as punishment, doing nothing else.
Such a person would undoubtedly be the best friend; if she became an enemy, she would probably be a nightmarish existence.
It's truly fortunate that Kamisato Ayaka was able to become friends with her when she first arrived in Inazuma. As expected, her younger sister is very capable and quite reliable.
Thinking this, Kamisato Ayato couldn't help but show a slight smile. This smile was caught by Kamisato Ayaka, who tilted her head, somewhat perplexed.
Kamisato Ayato usually only smiles like that when she does something worthy of praise. She hasn't done anything commendable recently, so why is he looking at her like that?
