Inazuma, Kamisato Estate.
As head of the Kamisato Clan, Kamisato Ayato sat in the seat of honor at the front, while Kamisato Ayaka sat on a cushion to his right, presumably still kneeling with her thighs resting on her calves and her feet beneath her bottom.
Unfortunately, her snowy-white legs were hidden beneath her skirt, leaving no chance to admire them.
"Oh? This distinguished gentleman must be the Commissioner of the Yashiro Commission himself," Li Qiuzhi said, slightly surprised to see Kamisato Ayato.
