In the room, Zeyan wrote furiously.
What kind of novel could become popular in the novel industry and even lead to a trend?
The answer, of course, was the system genre!
There were no system novels in this world. Zeyan felt that creating a system novel would be very interesting. Even if the other aspects of the plot and writing were a bit weak, having something different from the norm could still garner high praise and thus generate enough fame.
In an instant, Zeyan's inspiration flowed, and he quickly wrote the opening.
Time slowly passed in this creative process.
It's easy to lose track of time when creating. Zeyan also forgot how much time had passed until a commotion came from outside, and Zeyan put down his pen.
"Without a keyboard, it's really not convenient."
Zeyan rubbed his fingers, feeling a bit tired.
Just as he was about to check his work, the commotion outside grew louder, which made him couldn't help but come to the window and peek out.
First, a foreign youth with short blond hair and emerald eyes caught his attention. The youth wore a black and red vest and trousers, looked quite slender, and was smiling as he talked to people.
Zeyan had seen this person a few times in Ritou. This person seemed to be called Thoma?
"He seems to be a retainer of the Kamisato family?"
Zeyan was a bit surprised, wondering what Thoma was doing.
At this time, besides Thoma, some Yashiro Commission people wearing Shogunate armor followed Thoma, and some ordinary-looking men also followed Thoma.
Seemingly noticing something, Thoma looked up towards Zeyan, then pointed and said, "You, it's you, what's your current job?"
Zeyan hadn't expected to be pointed at. He looked left and right, and after confirming that Thoma was talking to him, he replied helplessly, "I just arrived in Ritou not long ago and don't have a job yet."
Thoma nodded to show he understood, then beckoned, "Then come over here for a moment."
Although Zeyan didn't know what Thoma wanted, his current status should be considered a big shot to ordinary people like him, so Zeyan went out.
As Zeyan approached, Thoma said with a smile, "Our Yashiro Commission is recruiting a group of deputies and will prioritize those who are unemployed, giving them a chance to work. Since you don't have a job, why don't you join the Yashiro Commission in the future? What do you say?"
Zeyan's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Thoma in surprise, then at the people following behind Thoma.
Join the Yashiro Commission?
Wasn't the Yashiro Commission managed by the Kamisato family? Joining the Yashiro Commission would be equivalent to joining the Kamisato family, wouldn't it?
Seeing Zeyan remain silent, Thoma continued, "Becoming a Yashiro Commission deputy isn't a bad thing. The Yashiro Commission's reputation is known throughout Narukami Island, isn't it? Even after joining, everyone will still have plenty of time to do their own things. Besides, our Yashiro Commission manages festivals and the humanities, and the work we do is usually very safe..."
Zeyan didn't wait for Thoma to finish before saying directly, "That sounds pretty good. Okay, I agree."
He felt that joining the Yashiro Commission was not something that needed hesitation. After all, this was a way to get closer to Kamisato Ayaka. How could he miss it?
Moreover, Thoma had said that joining the Yashiro Commission would also guarantee plenty of free time, so it shouldn't affect his novel writing. At that time, he could still carry out his original plan.
This move was like killing two birds with one stone.
Zeyan felt lucky.
Thoma smiled. "Good, come over here and register. After registering, follow me for now. I'll continue to recruit some more people."
Thoma's trip was naturally not just for Zeyan, but to recruit people for the Yashiro Commission. Zeyan was just one of the people he recruited, so he still had to walk around Ritou to recruit more people.
Zeyan quickly completed the registration. While registering, he looked at the Kanjou Commission people in the distance and asked Thoma in a low voice, "Ritou is generally the responsibility of the Kanjou Commission, right? Is it really okay to recruit people here?"
Thoma laughed. "Of course, there's no problem. Our young lady has already spoken with Lord Hiiragi of the Kanjou Commission. We're here to gather some unemployed people in Ritou, especially foreigners, and provide them with work. Speaking of which, Miss Kamisato has always been very kind, helping those who are alone and helpless in a foreign land in this way."
Zeyan nodded. So, Kamisato Ayaka's kindness was helping others, and he just happened to join them by coincidence?
At this time, Zeyan naturally didn't know that there weren't so many coincidences in the world, only inevitabilities.
Just like that, Zeyan and many other people followed Thoma, walking slowly down the streets of Ritou, continuing to watch Thoma recruit one unemployed person after another.
...
Kamisato Estate.
The mansion was refined and spacious, with pebble paths, a pond, old pines and cypresses, and a shrine in the courtyard.
At this moment, Kamisato Ayaka gracefully walked through the courtyard, stood before the wooden railing at the edge of the mansion, placed her hands on the railing, and gazed at the vast, blue sea.
The turbulent seawater in her memory had receded a year ago. The sea she had seen since then was more often a dazzling expanse under the sunlight.
But no matter how brilliant the sea was, it couldn't make her forget the stormy sea shrouded in darkness, a sea that, though more turbulent and cruel, held someone she could never forget.
"Zeyan..."
Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but whisper the name.
She had already instructed Thoma to take a trip around Ritou, to find those who were unemployed, especially foreigners, and to persuade as many of them as possible to join the Yashiro Commission.
She hadn't told Thoma the specific reason, nor had she mentioned Zeyan by name. In this way, Thoma might not be able to find Zeyan, but Kamisato Ayaka had decided that if he wasn't recruited today, she would have Thoma go to Ritou to recruit people every day, and sooner or later, she would be able to bring him in.
Under such circumstances, she would have many reasonable ways to meet Zeyan, and even when going out, she could ask some deputies to accompany her, and then have Zeyan join them each time.
"That way, we can become familiar, right? Oh right, Zeyan is very talented. I can show him the Kamisato-style Iaido more often. Once he can learn it through this method, then I can more reasonably teach him the Kamisato-style Iaido, and in this way, continue to deepen our relationship."
Kamisato Ayaka imagined a bright future.
As long as she continued according to her plan, Zeyan would definitely be with her again, just like before.
