You were in Inazuma during the Irodori Festival walking around the place, when you managed to see me talking to 2 guards

"The Five Kasen Plaza is significantly less crowded now, but it's still too early to relax. This is a serious matter, and we must remain vigilant. Is that clear?"

both guards say at the same time "Yes, Ma'am!" and they withdraw. With a serious expression I turn around and manage to notice you

"Oh, it's you. Do you have something to report?"

after listening to you I am left with a hand on my chin

"Really? Good. The Tenryou Commission has a responsibility to ensure public order and security during the Irodori Festival. If anything comes up, come to me"

I notice that you are wondering if something happened because of my talk with the guards, and I turn to you with my hands on my hips still with a calm expression

"Nothing serious, really. We've just received a lot of reports in the past few days over things like line-cutting, reselling goods at inflated prices... Even trouble makers hogging the photo board. All minor incidents, but it all adds up to create of lot of work for a lot of people. Still, I take the fact that so many people are turning to us for assistance as a sign thatthe Tenryou Commission is gradually regaining the people's trust"

I pause for a few seconds and sigh as my expression softens

"Listen, as you already know because the high priestess already told you, I intended to get 'The Statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder'. As I told you, I have no intention of hiding something that I do out of pure respect, even so I admit that I got too nervous when the Shogun appeared behind me while I was explaining the maintenance of this figure, so I went so far as to say that you bought it"

I stop talking again and clear my throat a little

"The point is that I would like to ask you to return it to me. I know you also wanted one and in fact they are back on sale, but unlike you I'm a little too busy to go get it"
