Led by Yucheng, the Mondstadt Diplomatic Mission arrived in the upper district of Inazuma City. Most of its residents belonged to the city's wealthy and prominent clans, and both the Raiden Shogun's Tenshukaku and Yucheng's Regent's Office were located here.
Naturally, the Mondstadt Diplomatic Mission's quarters had also been arranged here. Yucheng had reserved the land and buildings in advance after taking office. Under the rules governing diplomatic missions, the grounds of Mondstadt's embassy belonged to Mondstadt's territory, and Inazuma had no jurisdiction over them.
In any case, the buildings had already been provided. If they had deep pockets and wanted to renovate, Inazuma had no say in the matter, but they would have to pay for it themselves.
Compared with the bustling, vibrant lower district, the streets here were cleaner, more Doushin patrolled them, and public security was better.
Of course, everything had two sides. Compared with the lower district, the upper district lacked some of the warmth and everyday bustle of ordinary life.
Kamisato Ayato, the head of the Yashiro Commission, had long since arrived at the Regent's Office to wait. He would take sole responsibility for all matters concerning the reception of the Mondstadt Diplomatic Mission, sparing Yucheng, the Regent, from having to concern himself with such things.
Yucheng returned to the office he had been away from for so long. Uchiha Sara, Kamisato Ayaka, Sangonomiya Kokomi, and Kuki Shinobu, his four secretaries, were already in place, ready to report on their progress and the state of affairs during his absence.
However, most of the four women's attention was focused on Shenhe behind Yucheng, especially Sara's. As a member of the Uchiha Clan now, her attitude toward Shenhe, the lady of the household, was plain to see.
After a two-hour meeting, they finally reached a stopping point.
