In the He Mao family's back courtyard, He Mao Chang Ping leisurely fed the ornamental fish in the pond, seemingly unconcerned about everything that had occurred outside today.
Crane's Cry, who had been summoned only after Kuronagi had left, just stood by, feeling somewhat uneasy.
The calmer He Mao Chang Ping seemed, the more unsettled he felt.
"Are you dissatisfied with the way I handled things today?"
Suddenly, Chang Ping spoke, startling Crane's Cry, who hastily replied, "Lord Chang Ping, I definitely have not the slightest dissatisfaction!"
"Not even with the handling of Kuronagi?"
Crane's Cry was stunned for a moment before He Mao Chang Ping, who had already figured out his thoughts, immediately raised his eyebrows and spoke softly.
"Kuronagi is different from you; he is the person appointed by the Family Head to be the future guardian of Mount Fuji. So, let alone you, even I cannot allow him to come to harm in JinPing."
Crane's Cry lowered his head, staying silent.
