As soon as he finished expressing the basic condolences for Aoto's burnt house, he excitedly and urgently asked about the details of the battle, asking how Aoto managed to reverse the disadvantage and counter the "anti-foreigner faction."
However, when Chiba Shigetarou's questions subsided, Sazanoko softly reminded her brother in a cold tone:
"Brother, it's getting late now; maybe it's better to focus on the main topic first."
Upon hearing Sazanoko's reminder, Chiba Shigetarou was momentarily stunned. Then he raised his hand, scratching his head, and laughed.
"You're right; we should definitely discuss the main topic first."
Upon finishing his words, Chiba Shigetarou released his hand from his head and cleared his throat forcefully.
"Lord Zhouzhu, Mr. Isami, I'll be brief."
"The reason why my sister and I made this sudden visit tonight is actually to share some good news with you."
