"So, Jumonji-kun, why are you in such a hurry to see us?" Mayumi Saegusa no one else was around.
Katsuto Jumonji turned his gaze to Yunyi: "I'd like to ask, how do you plan to resolve the Ogasawara matter?"
"Huh? Solve what? The harassment from those people in the military?" Yunyi asked back.
"No." However, Katsuto Jumonji shook his head and said, "I mean, the frozen area over in the Ogasawara Islands."
"I'd like to know, is there any way to resolve that frozen area? It's a huge area, and the environmental changes will have incalculable consequences for the surrounding area. If left unchecked, the entire ocean's ecosystem will change," Katsuto Jumonji.
Yunyi was stunned. He had thought that Katsuto Jumonji would talk about the military's attitude or the Ten Master Clans's attitude, but he never expected that he would ask about the environment.
In fact, Yunyi knew the situation in Ogasawara better than anyone else. However, resolving the problems there was no longer something that could be done through conventional means.
"Leaving it unattended would indeed be troublesome, but it would only take a few years to resolve. However, if we were to address it now, it would be much more complicated." Yunyi pondered for a moment before continuing, " Chief Jumonji, what are your plans for asking this?"
"For the sake of this country." However, Katsuto Jumonji's answer sounded somewhat high-sounding.
But his answer made Yunyi take it a little more seriously.
"If possible, I'd like to ask you to help resolve the frozen area. Of course, in exchange, I can also help you solve a problem," Katsuto Jumonji added.
"Heh~" Yunyi chuckled, " Chief Jumonji, your deal can hardly be considered an equal one for me."
"I'm sorry, but we have to take the problem there seriously," Katsuto Jumonji.
"May I ask another question first?" Yunyi suddenly asked.
Katsuto Jumonji looked at Yunyi for a moment before nodding.
"I remember that the Chief Jumonji was against my relationship with Mayumi, right? And the same goes for my taking over as chairman of the Public Morals Committee. So how did you change your mind and become supportive?" Yunyi asked.
"I still oppose your relationship with Saegusa. I don't know your true identity or your purpose in coming to Japan, but as Ten Master Clans of Japan, no one should have a close relationship with you. That's my opinion. However, Saegusa is Saegusa, and as long as she doesn't regret her decisions, that's fine. If we meet on the battlefield one day, I won't hold back."
At this point, Katsuto Jumonji paused. He glanced at Mayumi Saegusa Nanagusa sitting next to Yunyi before continuing, "As for the Public Morals Committee, it's just that I think it's better for you to sit in that position than for anyone else. And judging from my understanding of you, if you were in that position, in the event of a terrorist attack like the one involving ' Blanche,' you would stand up instead of running away like last time."
Hearing Katsuto Jumonji's reply, Yunyi blinked. He didn't just slip away; he was clearly there too, wasn't he?
Of course, he wouldn't proactively tell Katsuto Jumonji about this. As for whether he'll find out later, that's another story.
"I can resolve the issues on Ogasawara's side, but in exchange, I hope the Chief Jumonji can help smooth things over with the military. Is this condition acceptable to the Chief Jumonji?" Yunyi asked.
"Okay." To everyone's surprise, Katsuto Jumonji agreed to Yunyi's condition without hesitation.
This decisive reply slightly surprised Yunyi. But seeing the serious expression on Katsuto Jumonji's face, he suppressed his emotions and nodded, saying, "Then it's settled. As long as Chief Jumonji helps resolve the military's entanglement, I will head to the Ogasawara Islands to resolve the ice problem."
"Well, that's settled then. I have other plans, so I'll be leaving now. Saegusa, and Yunyi, I hope we'll never meet on the battlefield," Katsuto Jumonji.
After watching him leave, Mayumi Saegusa remarked, "Why did Jumonji-kun think you two would meet on the battlefield?"
Yunyi shrugged. "What battlefield? We'll talk about that when the day comes."
After finishing their meeting with Katsuto Jumonji, Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa returned home. Not long after, Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi Saegusa also arrived, dragging large bags and small packages.
Yunyi looked at them and couldn't help but feel puzzled, seeing that they looked like they were fleeing a disaster.
"No, is there something wrong with the family, like we're missing you two food? What's all these bags and packages filled with?"
" Brother Yunyi, stop talking! These are my and Kasumi's things, they have nothing to do with you!" Izumi Saegusa shooed Yunyi away.
"Damn it! I shouldn't have helped you two carry your things!" Yunyi complained irritably.
With the two little ones back, their "family" was finally reunited. Dinner was prepared by Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa, with the two little ones helping out.
"Ah! We're finally free!"
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Kasumi Saegusa leaned against Izumi Saegusa's shoulder and sighed with emotion.
"No, what's wrong with Mayumi and the other girl today? I feel like they've been through something traumatic?" Yunyi asked, puzzled.
"Pfft~" Mayumi Saegusa couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Seeing her two younger sisters looking at her with resentment, she quickly suppressed the smile on her face.
"Actually, it's all your fault, Yunyi-kun," Mayumi Saegusa said.
"Me? What does this have to do with me?" Yunyi looked at her blankly.
"Those two stayed here for a while and almost forgot all the rules of the house! They went back to stay for a few days and Mother disliked them," Mayumi Saegusa Nanagusa explained to Yunyi.
Yunyi was exasperated; he didn't want to take the blame. But seeing the three sisters' expressions that said it was all his fault, Yunyi could only sigh and accept it.
After laughing and joking around for a while, the four of them went back to their rooms to rest.
Just as Yunyi lay down to sleep, Chen Mei called.
" Yunyi, Sun Meiling revealed Richard Sun's hiding place. However, it's just a place Richard Sun prepared for his mother; he rarely stays there for very long."
