After school, Sonoko returned home.
"Dad, Mom, I'm home!"
As soon as she entered the house, Sonoko handed her schoolbag to the maid, shouting as she walked toward her parents' study.
When she pushed open the study door, she saw her father, mother, and older sister all sitting inside. Their gazes turned toward her as she entered.
Sonoko was already used to such a scene.
Closing the door behind her, she looked at her sister with a serious expression.
"Sis, why did you and Chikako hide from me the plan to build the first Tingen City for the story?"
A trace of resentment flashed across her face. They were sisters, after all.
Suzuki Shiro and Suzuki Tomoko exchanged surprised glances.
They hadn't expected Ayako to have such a plan.
Ayako, on the other hand, hadn't expected Chikako to reveal it so casually.
But after thinking about Ren, she realized that as a believer, she shouldn't lie to a god.
Ayako sighed and admitted it.
"I didn't say anything because it was just an idea and a plan. Building a city isn't an easy thing. Even the land issue alone is not simple."
The land issue was a government matter. Even for a large conglomerate like the Suzuki Zaibatsu, obtaining approval for a large enough area to build a city wasn't easy.
Especially when the purpose of the land was to build a city.
Once such intentions became known, it would cause a lot of complications. Ayako was already planning how to minimize the potential impact.
Hearing her sister's words, Sonoko smiled brightly.
"That's why Chika took action."
At the same time, in the Fujiwara residence, Chika was telling the same story.
"Eh? You even got a chance for Mom?"
Fujiwara Maho hadn't expected her daughter to secure an opportunity for her to become an extraordinary being.
"That's right."
With her hands on her hips, Chika looked proud of herself. This was an opportunity she had earned for her mother.
"Ren said he could help us if we needed it, so I asked him to get an opportunity for Mom, Toyomi, and Moeha."
"Although it's also a power of blessing, Ren said he has reduced the Boon System's influence to the minimum. As long as one grows through their own actions, they can gradually master it."
Fujiwara Maho listened carefully, quickly forming a plan in her mind.
This was indeed an excellent opportunity.
As a diplomat, she was skilled in social interaction, but if she had the abilities of a Spectator to assist in social dealings, it would make her even more formidable.
Being able to directly understand the other party's thoughts without probing would be a tremendous advantage in her work.
Not only that, if she could refine and expand such power, she could increase her influence even further.
The political environment she had gradually compromised with over the years could also see a major improvement.
Maho subconsciously turned her gaze toward her father and father-in-law.
Both elderly men looked equally astonished, clearly having thought of the same thing she did.
After a brief silence, Maho nodded slightly.
"This is indeed a good thing."
In addition to herself, Toyomi and Moeha also received an opportunity, which would expand the Fujiwara family's sphere of influence.
Her eyes then rested on her second daughter.
The key to Fujiwara's next rise lay with her.
"Getting land in a remote area might not be too difficult."
"If we choose an area under the guise of a film city, as long as it's not a government-sensitive location, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
Her daughters' idea of building a city was bold. Even she had been startled at first by their imagination.
But if it was to build a city of their own, then this plan was indeed feasible.
It was a great opportunity for the Fujiwara family.
Maho thought about it seriously. The family could move on this matter quickly, especially since the Suzuki Zaibatsu planned to build a film city.
A film city was different from an ordinary one.
The city they would build wouldn't be under government control, but under the leadership of internal faith and extraordinary individuals. Such an act was essentially establishing a hidden, autonomous domain within Japan.
But was that a problem?
Fujiwara Maho didn't think so.
"This matter can be kept under control."
"If the future city is mainly led by extraordinary individuals, then its situation will not be under the nation's control. That's not a bad thing."
"However, if it's just the Suzuki Zaibatsu, the pressure might be too much."
"Ah, that's fine."
Hearing her mother's words, Chika immediately perked up.
"Not only is Sonoko's family preparing to move, but Shinomiya, Sanzenin, Aizawa, and Kaguya are all ready too."
"You kids really are bold thinkers, full of courage, and your execution power is beyond imagination."
Fujiwara Maho couldn't help but sigh at her daughter's words.
But behind her complaint, she felt more confident about the plan.
Aside from their political families, the other participants were all top-tier conglomerate heirs. With such capital pouring into a single city, its vitality would quickly flourish.
Moreover, it wasn't them who would truly drive the city's growth, but that god.
True believers worshiping their god within a city of faith—if such a thing became known, believers everywhere would go mad with devotion.
"So, Mom, do you have time to meet Ren later? We also need to confirm the type of blessing power."
"Of course, I have time."
Fujiwara Maho completely disregarded her original schedule. Clearly, this matter had become the Fujiwara family's top priority.
