One Hundred And Ninety-Two
Of course with everything that was going on, there were still matters that needed my attention. I had to fire off a few ssages to various people, and left a bunch of instructions for Karen-chan. It wasn’t as if we planned to be away for long, but according to Shaeula ti in the lower Astral was even more distorted than the Boundary, and the Fae lands were also greatly unpredictable in that regard, which matched the stories mom had told in my childhood. When Aiko and I were kids, did we think that the stories we heard mom tell us would end up being important, even true? The world is strange.
Now that Karen-chan had assistants, my old neighbours, I felt slightly less bad at overworking her. Next on the agenda was increasing the area that I controlled in both the Boundary and the Material. Seeing the Material as a dry desert of ether where there was only trace amounts, Shirohebizumi was a small oasis, which while it couldn’t compare to the lake that was the Boundary, the difference was still huge. Even more so in the small area that the Boundary to Material connection covers. Upgrading that will help, and I want the Ether Density Anchor Spire to Rank 2 and even Rank 3. Damn, so much ti and expense, but so utterly worth it.
I wanted control, no matter how nominally, of the park that Shaeula’s Territory was in, as well as the communal graveyard that the Rhyming Tree occupied. Since they were state-owned, it wasn’t as if I could just buy them, but I only needed to own them. With donations, pledges to maintain them as they were, and so support from Fujiwara-san and my connections in the Diet… perhaps it would be possible. If I tell Suzuki-san that it might help get more spiritual resources, he should lobby for . He wants to see Haru-san again… Clasping my hands together in a brief prayer for Karen-chan, sorry that she would be dealing with so big-shots, I fired off the ssages as well as sending a few to Hinata-san and Motoko-san for helping take the lead in the training sessions today. As I was finishing that up, the doorbell rang.
“Can you get that-that?” Shaeula asked, as she was doing sothing in her bedroom. I shrugged and went to the door, opening it up, to see Kana-chan there, her luxurious long black hair still damp and hanging free, her shrine-maiden hakama clinging to her, the white parts a little see-through and revealing hints of her skin beneath. Oh… that’s… damn. I had to look away, she was remarkably alluring, which made feel guilty. On seeing my reaction, Kana-chan smiled brightly in relief.
