"Your older sister is taking the religious path, and your younger sister is taking the Lawyer path."
"One wants to become a Notary, and the other wants to make a name in the legal world."
"The direction of your family is quite targeted."
Sonoko immediately understood that all three paths were political.
Becoming a Notary and entering the judicial system clearly pointed toward politics.
From a family perspective, the entire Fujiwara family truly walked this path, and now with Ren's help, they could go even further.
Thinking of this, Sonoko turned her gaze back to Ren.
"Ren, just for the sake of one city, are you preparing to have Fujiwara control the entirety of Japan?"
"It's mainly to avoid trouble."
Ren had no extra thoughts about this country. His desire to control it was solely for Tingen City.
"Fujiwara and we have always had a good relationship. Compared to others, it is definitely best for us if Fujiwara can control Japan."
"Indeed, just as Ren said, Fujiwara has always been an evergreen in politics."
Kaguya glanced at Chika and strongly approved of Ren's decision.
The political circle must be full of troublesome matters. Throwing these problems to Fujiwara would definitely simplify their troubles and allow any incidents on their side to be concealed to the greatest extent.
It was beneficial for both sides.
Fujiwara would regain the opportunity to control political power and gain the chance to rise overnight.
Under such circumstances, it would be foolish for Fujiwara to refuse.
"Grandpa and maternal grandpa also said so."
Chika did not have much of a concept of power, but she understood that this was what Fujiwara needed, and what their group needed.
With political protection, even if they caused some trouble in the future, it could be covered up, preventing a bigger commotion. That was definitely a good thing.
"Grandpa and maternal grandpa also said to quickly advance the film and television city project."
"This time, Mom is going to start taking action. Grandpa said that many remote places in Japan are connected, and those places do not even have people, having been abandoned for a long time. Plus, they are difficult to develop, so they are very suitable for building a film and television city."
The land problem was considered solved.
"But in that case, would anyone go to such a remote place?"
Ran was more concerned about this question.
"Miss Mouri, such remote places cannot recover costs for now. The key is that the place itself does not have very rich resources," Hayasaka explained briefly.
"The biggest resource of that city in the future will be the stories Suzuki is preparing to film."
"Using stories as the condition to attract tourists, and then using the city's living conditions to attract more outsiders to settle in the city."
"After that, the Fool Church will be built in the city, and the church will also have Fujiwara's sister. In the future, the city should welcome many religions. Among them, there will also be some politicians who know certain things."
"I think, when it really comes to that point, Tingen City should become a hub of commerce, religion, and politics."
"If it truly develops to that point, then even if that city does not possess rich resources, it can be said to be the most central resource itself."
Upon hearing Hayasaka's explanation, Ran finally understood.
The foundation of that city lay in its subsequent development. As long as it developed more orderly in the future, it was normal for it to become a core city.
All current efforts were for future gains.
Of course, Ran also understood that normal investments carried risks, but the investment in Tingen City carried no risks whatsoever.
Because Ren was there.
"However, the construction of a city should take a long time, right?"
Hayasaka nodded slightly at Ran's question.
"It will indeed take a long time. But that is the basic situation."
"As long as investment is increased later, a city will quickly spread outward from a single point."
"Especially since the Suzuki Zaibatsu is also preparing to film stories there, some iconic buildings will definitely be built first."
"The architectural style is Western, and it is retro, so most of them are wooden structures. That means the time required will not be particularly long…"
Western wooden structures can be completed relatively quickly, especially with more construction workers. These buildings can almost be built in less than a month.
"I think the construction within Tingen City will be completed while the story is still set there."
"Indeed."
Ren strongly agreed with Hayasaka. The construction of Tingen City itself was not particularly difficult.
"One year, no, perhaps less than half a year, Tingen City can be fully completed."
"The key afterward is how to operate this city."
"However, this cannot be separated from the influence of commerce, politics, and religion."
"Therefore, I hope the Fujiwara family can first take control of Japan."
"After that, there will be no need for so-called resource allocation. Only by ensuring the uniqueness of Tingen City can it naturally begin to operate."
For a city to operate, the help of the state apparatus was indispensable.
This was the biggest reason Ren hoped Fujiwara could control Japan.
"Speaking of which, does anyone have plans to go out this weekend?"
"Weekend plans, huh…"
"Hmm, how about we all go skiing together?"
After a brief silence, Sonoko was the first to suggest it.
"Skiing? That's possible."
Ren had no objections.
"But why the sudden suggestion?"
"Hehe~ I recently joined a magic chat group online. They said they are going camping in the mountains soon, and my family happens to have a villa there."
When the Suzuki villa was mentioned, everyone's gazes turned a bit strange.
Under those gazes, Sonoko quickly explained, "It is definitely fine. Nothing will happen this time."
"This time, my family's villa is not in the remote mountains, and I have not invited anyone else. I guarantee that this time, my family will definitely not have any problems."
Sonoko had learned many lessons. At least, she would not choose a villa deep in the mountains, trigger some strange mechanism, and attract the favor of the God of Death or something similar.
