While I can't share why, as that is part of the investigation, I can talk about Seirin and who she is"[/color], he began. Seeing as it is something they can be privy to. People not aware of the magical side of the world though were not, and a different story would be given. [color=slategray]"But before that I'd like to begin with the Imperial Family of Japan. I'm sure as you know, they are this country's ruling family, although all governance is done by the Prime Minister. During World War 2 however, the Emperor of the time, Hirohito had invited several other families to become part of the Kyu-Miyake, and become extended members of the Imperial Family. Following the American Occupation of 1947, all of these families had lost Imperial membership... All but one"[/color], he raised a finger indicating that number. [color=slategray]"This family is the Kaganomiya, all records of it were struck and kept secret, the entire family lives in complete secret, and so sometimes the family is called the "Backside of the Throne". The Kaganomiyas are actually a talented family of onmyou, and through their skills and connections as such they have maintained the supernatural side of Japan for decades"[/color], [color=slategray]"Seirin herself is the young heir to the head of the Kaganomiyas, as I'm sure you could've guessed by now",[/color] at least until their policies loosen. Recent events such as these conferences were meant to help with their approval of opening up more, but this year may make it a hard sell... Though, that reasoning alone is enough. [color=00aeef]"Hmmm... I see, sir, how about the ninjas that came afterward? Just personal guards?"[/color], Rodrick piped up, he seemed a little interested, perhaps because this was this world's nobility. There was also some concern about Seirin herself, but it seems he was purposely avoiding explaining Seirin and her spontaneous healing near the end of the earlier fight. [color=slategray]"Ah yes them. Simply put, they are the Yatagarasu. They're a shadow enforcer organization whose main goal is to protect the Imperial Family, what you saw was their ninja, which is actually exceedingly rare. Usually you would meet them through representatives who approach to speak with you about matters. The reality is that those representatives are only mouthpieces for them to conduct business, the true organization is hidden away"[/color], he explained. [color=slategray]"Now then, I think I have spent enough time here"[/color], he said, walking through and past the group. [color=slategray]"I'm afraid I am needed elsewhere, if you have other questions be sure to direct them to Utsumi instead. Speaking of which..."[/color], a blue ethereal bird flew by just over Kuuto. [color=slategray]"I'm sure he already knows what happened here too"[/color], and with that, he was gone.
