As for the second topic, there wasn't much to discuss. It was nothing more than strengthening the exchange of information between each other and providing manpower support to deal with the attack of the black ball team that the Ministry of Environment named as the [Black Cloth Organization]. There were also opinions on the discovery, capture, and handling of the members of the [Black Cloth Organization]. Therefore, it was just a simple discussion, a rough set of rules, and the discussion ended.
Kobayashi Yu looked at everyone and said, "Let's talk about the third topic. It's about the families sending people to work at the Ministry of Environment."
As soon as she said that, the faces of all the family representatives changed. They fell silent with a gloomy face. At the same time, a heavy atmosphere spread in the conference room.
However, thinking about it from the perspective of the family, no one would want to send their family members here under the obvious sniping of the [Black Cloth Organization]. What if they were killed by the [Black Cloth Organization]? Who would they ask for justice? Not to mention, since it was called a family, the family members must be their family members. Other than the truly prosperous families with a large population, how many family members could be so extravagant to the point of being sent out? Moreover, if someone really died, the ones who would be sad would be their close family members, not the people from the Ministry of Environment who used people to make up the numbers.
Therefore, regarding this topic, whether it was the original families in Tokyo or the families that moved from Kyoto to Tokyo because of the Kyuubi, none of them were willing to participate.
"What we mean is that each family will be based on the number of people they have. The average level, review the information, and set a standard so that everyone can send people who meet the requirements to work at the Ministry of Environment. " After a few seconds of silence, Kobayashi Yu spoke again, "Of course, the time of service won't be very long. They only need to stay in the Ministry of Environment for five years before they can leave and return to their family."
"In addition, during the time that the family members work in the Ministry of Environment, each family can obtain a purchase qualification to buy some special items in the Ministry of Environment." Kobayashi Yu continued.
Hearing this. Most of the gloomy faces of the people were moved. A hint of interest flashed in their eyes.
After all, compared to Europe and America where one could find the Alchemy Association, Magical Realm, or other special shops to buy special items, in Japan, other than the secret items made by each family, most of the special items were researched and developed by the Ministry of Environment. And it's not takeout. This was why the Environment Ministry, which had been established for less than eighty years, had the confidence to compete with the traditional forces.
But now, the Ministry of the Environment was willing to release the results of their research. Letting other families buy them would give them the opportunity to increase their trump cards and strengthen themselves … Although the types and quantity of items purchased would definitely be different, this still made the traditional Japanese forces, who had a strong sense of family values, think about it.
"He only used a small benefit to make the representatives of the clans who were originally united have different opinions. Sei Itō thought to himself as he observed the changes in the expressions of the people around him.
"Since that's the case, I'll add some more obstacles for you."
After thinking about it, Sei Itō's mind moved, and a weak psychic power slowly came out, quietly enveloping the head of an unfamiliar family representative next to him. Then, it suddenly turned into an illusion, affecting the family representative's mind.
Under the influence of the illusion, the family representative became increasingly furious and agitated. Half a minute later, he slammed his palm on the table in front of him.
"Bang!" A huge muffled sound instantly resounded in the conference room, interrupting everyone's thoughts and attracting their attention to the family representative.
"I don't agree, I won't use my family's children as a bargaining chip in exchange for those small favors! In addition, our Yamanzen family is loyal to the Imperial family, if you want our children to enter the Ministry of the Environment, you should wait until you get the document from the Imperial family! I'll take my leave! " The family representative of the Yamanzen family said in a sonorous tone. After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Kobayu and the host of the meeting, Takashi Ohashi, to respond, and quickly left from his original position, quickly walking to the door of the conference room.
Seeing the behavior of the family representative, Takashi Ohashi's eyes couldn't help but reveal a murderous aura. But because there were too many family representatives present, and they were divided into four categories: Shrine, Temple, Imperial family, and non-government, Takashi Ohashi had to consider the possible impact of killing the family representative on the spot. He had no choice but to suppress his murderous intent, squinting his eyes as he watched the angry family representative leave the conference room.
It's just that he took into account the overall situation, but neglected the effect of following after someone took the lead, as well as the psychological changes of everyone.
As a matter of fact, before Takashi Ohashi could calm down, another family representative also stood up from his seat and said, "I'm sorry, our family members are too few, and we really don't have any extra people to send to the Ministry of the Environment, so we'll take our leave again."
After saying that, he also walked out of the conference room without hesitation.
"Mr. Ohashi, I'm sorry …" If only one person left, everyone would hesitate, but the second person's appearance completely made some people make up their minds and stand up from their seats, apologizing to Takashi Ohashi.
Then, a large number of family representatives stood up from their seats one after another, saying goodbye to Takashi Ohashi and Kobayu Kobayu. In the process, Sei Itō also stood up and left the conference room.
"Although the third topic was stopped this time, the Ministry of the Environment will definitely not give up. After all, the Ministry of the Environment will definitely send people to each family to lobby. After all, the Ministry of the Environment has lost too many middle and lower level personnel, and it's impossible to rely on their own training and private recruitment to fill the manpower gap. The most effective way for now is to snatch the meat from each family." Sei Itō thought as he took the elevator and left.
"This time, because of the Yamamae family, we'll let this matter go, but the Ministry of the Environment will definitely not let this matter go, so I propose that we form an alliance to resist this matter together." When the elevator was descending, a family representative suddenly proposed.
"Yes. Yes! " Since they have made up their minds to refute the Ministry of the Environment, they naturally have to guard against the Ministry of the Environment's dirty tricks in the future, so everyone in the elevator agreed loudly.
At this time, there was a "ding …" sound, and the elevator steadily stopped on the first floor, and the door slowly opened to both sides.
"Since everyone has this idea, then please come to my Morioka family to discuss the details of the alliance." The person who proposed said again.
"Okay." Everyone agreed.
Then Sei Itō and the others walked out of the elevator, left the Ministry of the Environment's headquarters building, and went to the open-air parking lot not far away, and sat in their respective cars. Under the guidance of the Morioka family representative. They drove to the Morioka family's residence.
More than an hour later, Sei Itō and the others arrived at the Morioka family's residence in Chūgoku Ninomiya, Kanagawa Prefecture.
The Morioka family is different from the Ito family, it's not a shrine or a temple family, but a simple family. So the family's residence is not on the mountain. It's near the front of the mountain. It's similar to the suburbs of the countryside, and it's a very traditional residence.
"Please!" As the host, Morioka invited everyone at the door of his house.
"Please!" Everyone said politely. They followed the Morioka family representative into the Morioka family's residence, and went to a large reception room and sat down on both sides. Then, a middle-aged woman, unknown whether it's a maid or a member of the Morioka family, naturally entered the room and prepared tea for everyone.
"Before the meeting, let's introduce ourselves," the Morioka representative said. Then, he took the lead and introduced himself, "I'm Morioka Shigeru, the head of the Morioka family."
"Oda An, the head of the Oda family in Liancang City." After Morioka Shigeru, another middle-aged man introduced himself.
"I'm Mori …"
"…"
"Sei Itō, the successor of the Ito family in Akizuruno City." After a while, it's Sei Itō's turn to introduce himself. As the youngest person present and the only one with the identity of a successor, he naturally received everyone's attention and astonishment.
"…"
After a few minutes, everyone present finished introducing themselves.
"Since everyone already knows each other, let's form an alliance! Of course, this alliance is mainly used to resist the unfairness that may be imposed on our families in the future. Secondly, it's to share all kinds of information, as well as to provide assistance in times of crisis. What do you all think? " At this time, Morioka Shigeru once again pulled the topic back to the reason why everyone was gathered here in the first place, and explained the function of the alliance.
"Okay!" Everyone agreed since they didn't have any objections to the function of the alliance.
Seeing this, Morioka Shigeru smiled slightly and began to discuss the details with everyone. For example, what kind of information needed to be shared, what kind of crisis needed to be rescued, what price to pay for rescue, what if there were conflicts between the families in the alliance, etc …
…
"Phew, it's finally over." After a few hours, Sei Itō finished discussing the formation of the alliance and had dinner with the other families of the alliance. Only then did he walk out of the Morioka residence and let out a sigh of relief.
Then, he slowly walked to his car, unlocked the car, opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat. He started the car and rushed to his shrine.
After another hour, Sei Itō finally returned to his home.
"You're back," Suzu Ito said with a smile as she watched Sei Itō walk into the house.
"I'm back," Sei Itō replied as he took off his coat and hung it on the hanger at the door.
"What did you say at the meeting?" After Sei Itō completely entered the house, Eriko asked.
Hearing Eriko's question, Sei Itō didn't hide anything. He told Eriko everything that happened in the environment ministry conference room today, as well as what happened at the Morioka residence after the meeting.
"The head of the Morioka family is a man of ambition," Eriko said thoughtfully after listening to Sei Itō's narration.
"But this time, he is the one who took the lead. As long as a few families in the so-called alliance are moved by the benefits offered by the environment ministry and the alliance disintegrates from the inside, the Morioka family will suffer." Sitting next to Ya Ye, Sei Itō put his hand around her waist and said with a smile.
"Well, mother, don't worry about it so much, anyway, it has nothing to do with us, let's continue to live a peaceful life." Sei Itō continued as he watched the TV.
Eriko nodded and continued to watch the TV series with Suzu Ito and Rita Ito.
The following days were peaceful again. During the day, Sei Itō would leave a shadow clone at home just in case, then use the Flying Thunder God Technique to go to the United Kingdom to enter the Magical Realm. He would read books in the big library or discuss shortening methods and techniques with the three hired magic consultants, Betty, Ingrid, and Bella. At night, he would return home to spend a quiet night with his family.
And in this peaceful daily life, more than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was February 2014. During this period, the environment ministry, as Sei Itō expected, sent people to the Sei Itō family to lobby. However, with the great hero of guarding the Kyuubi, the old man, and Eriko, who really didn't have any combat power in the family, politely refused the environment ministry's lobbyist and didn't agree to send people to the environment ministry to work.
"Mother, it's almost time, I'll send you back." Sei Itō said to Eriko.
"Okay." Eriko nodded, then still a little worried, she reminded Sei Itō, "Remember to be polite when you go there."
"Don't worry, mother, I know." Sei Itō smiled and comforted her.
"And little brother, don't forget, I'm going to attend a wedding in March, remember to call me out at that time." Beside Eriko, Suzu Ito looked at Sei Itō and reminded him.
"I won't forget." Sei Itō looked at Suzu Ito and promised. Then, after seeing that Ito Reina had nothing to say, he sent Eriko, Suzu Ito, Ito Reina, and Ya Ye back to the Rubik's Cube world.
Then, Sei Itō's mind turned again, and Wu Yin activated Multiple Wood Clone Jutsu, creating three Wood Clones that turned into Eriko, Suzu Ito, and Ito Reina, and let them stay in the shrine. Then, he left for Tokyo International Airport, took a plane to Beijing, China, and celebrated the traditional Chinese New Year with his father's relatives.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Sei Itō celebrated the Chinese New Year in China since he came to this world, and it was also the first time he celebrated the Chinese New Year with his father's relatives.
A few hours later, Sei Itō once again set foot on the land of China.
"XX Community in Haidian District." Sei Itō said as he sat in a taxi outside the airport.
The driver nodded, reached out to turn down the lights in the middle of the car window, started the car, and sped to the community that Sei Itō told him about. This time, because it was before the Chinese New Year, and the time to get off the plane was six o 'clock in the evening, which happened to be the evening rush hour. There was a lot of traffic on the road, so it took Sei Itō a long time to arrive at the gate of XX Community. He carried the gifts that he prepared in advance and went to the gate of Old Chen's house.
