Takada Yukino's mind was not on the two Nanman girls, but only on Takada Haruno and his daughter in the room.
Lilu and Christina knew this very well, and after sending their blessings, they left the Shinsengumi station.
After walking out of the gate and looking back at this magnificent house, Lilu couldn't help but sigh.
"Dear Christina, it is rumored that Takada Haruno has lost the favor of the great lord and has no business power, but why don't I feel it at all?
Not only did she now give birth to the great lord's child, but she also had the power to rebuild Shintoism.
Oumaiga, it’s an oriental world that is really incomprehensible. How do people’s brains work here? It’s so strange.”
Kristina looked seriously at Lilu who was complaining and said.
"First of all, you should call the saint a saint, not a great lord.
Secondly, get rid of the Nanman Cult's oral habit, it will kill you, Lilu, I promise.
Since we choose to integrate into this country, we must abide by the rules of this country's game.
This is beneficial to you, to me, to our career and future."
Lilu glanced at Kristina, who looked ugly, and waved her hand.
"Don't look at me with such a scary expression. When did my lovely Christina become a fanatical believer?
Isn't it that we left the suffocating Western Europe and chose the dangerous sea to escape the endless religious persecution there? Do you like the style of the lunatics of the old and new Nanbarians?
I think the Takada sisters are becoming more and more possessing this kind of temperament, um, the temperament of a magic stick."
Christina shook her head.
"This is called professionalism."
Lilu sighed.
"Okay, professional soldier, are you going to imitate them and become a magician?"
Christina curled her lips and took off her pious mask.
"You know, Lilu, the artillery team is very expensive, very very expensive. I must satisfy the saint's needs, and then he will satisfy my needs.
Without the support of Sister Takada and relying solely on the funding from the Tongxin Secretariat, it would be difficult for me to retain those Nanman free people who have their hearts set on the sea.
Before I can train qualified gunners from the island nation, I must spend a lot of money to retain their bohemian and free-spirited hearts."
Lilu sighed with helplessness on her face.
"The Saint has too many needs. He even hopes to bypass the Nanman transit trade and directly establish trade relations with the Celestial Empire, but this is too difficult.
The Chinese people are so arrogant. They look at me as if they were looking at savages from overseas. Maybe we are not even human. In their eyes, we may just be beasts.
Facing the arrogant Celestial Empire, the goods the Nanman trade could obtain from the Celestial Empire were only smuggling opportunities obtained by bribing local officials.
The saint actually wants to gain official recognition from the Celestial Empire and establish official trade. I am very unfavorable about this matter."
Christina said solemnly.
"Even if you are not optimistic, you must continue to do it. Whether it is you or me, since we have chosen this path, we must work hard to go on."
Lilu thought of the saint's handsome face that seemed to never age, and subconsciously licked the corners of her mouth.
"Yes, satisfy his needs, and then ask him to satisfy me.
I love this feeling so much, really, now I finally understand why Helen in Homer's epic poem can let the heroes and heroines fight Troy for her.
I hope you and I can be lucky enough to exchange our efforts for a child of God. That will be our greatest luck.
??????55.??????
Our heirs will become the most noble people in this country and enjoy supreme glory and wealth forever."
Christina nodded.
"This is what I am about to remind you, keep your piety in mind, Lilu, and never show your self-righteous and contemptuous expression in front of Sister Takada again.
In this closed island country, only New Shintoism will give us a chance and not regard us as overseas aliens.
If we really have a child, we can only be regarded as a descendant of the island country if it is placed under the name of the Takada family, instead of being a humiliation from outside.
Always remember this and be pious, my foolish Lilu."
Lilu shrugged and sighed helplessly.
"I understand, verbose Christina, I am the most devout Shinto believer, and I... no, no, I guarantee this in the name of a saint."

In the room, Yangono was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and concentrating. Yukino took the baby from the wet nurse's hands skillfully, and then signaled the servants on the left and right to go out.
All the servants bowed and left, but Xueno ignored her. She just looked down at the child and touched her skin with her hands, which gradually stretched out and became white and tender. It was no longer as wrinkled as when she was just born.
"Haruwu, you have become more beautiful."
Yangno opened his eyes and watched his sister interacting with her daughter, with a soft light shining in her eyes.
"What a weird name this is, you have the nerve to report it to the saint."
Yukino put the baby between her knees and carefully pushed the wheelchair close to her sister's bed. She was panting slightly, but her body was still too weak.
"Spring Things, Spring Story, a story about a child born in spring who will begin to belong to her. I think it's a pretty good name."
Yang Na stood up and hugged the child, looking at her daughter's eyes that were closed tightly in her sleep, she was still subconsciously twirling her fingers, with a look of kindness on her face.
"It sounds nice, but it doesn't sound like the Wu family's nickname."
Yukino smiled slightly.
"We are not Ji warriors, the saints want us to be, and we are.
Now that you and I, sisters, have decided to dedicate our lives to Shinto, our status as warriors is no longer a necessity for us, so we don’t need to worry about these little details."
Yangno snorted.
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right.
What about? Send away those two annoying Nanman women? I really don’t understand, why do you care so much about them?"
Xueno said solemnly.
"They are the first batch of believers in the new Shinto religion. I must leave them a thought."
Yang Na snorted coldly and said nothing.
Yukino was in bad health and could not give birth to a child. In order to urge Yono to give birth to a divine descendant, he even threatened to use southern barbarian women such as Tachibana Kanade, Lilu, and Kristina as substitutes.
The Takada family is the only descendant of the Shiba family. How can the noble Miao character be tarnished by the Southern Barbarians?
Yang Nai has always been worried about her pregnancy, and even though she has given birth to a child, she is still unhappy.
Yukino looked at her sister and said.
"Sister, don't worry. Even if they do have children, they will inherit my lineage and cannot tarnish the reputation of my sister's lineage."
Yang Na gritted his teeth and said.
"I can't write two Takada in one stroke. Does that make a difference? I really don't understand you!"
Yukino looked at the spring object in Yangno's arms and said with envy.
"I also want the child of a saint, but except for those helpless Southern barbarian women, who would be willing to adopt the child into my name?"
