Hiiragi Shinsuke's fate left everyone present somewhat dazed. Had the Hiiragi Clan, which had controlled the Kanjou Commission for centuries, simply fallen just like that? Centuries of foundations had been wiped out by a single order from the Raiden Shogun, leaving them back at square one.

"As for the Kujou Clan's members, all of Kujou Takayuki's immediate family shall be punished
