Under Chongzong's communication (or rather, Mizuo herself voluntarily wanting to move in with the Uesugi family for a while), Koga Mizuo decided to move in with the Uesugi family for two weeks.
The explanation to the Uesugis was that Mizuo and Yuki had a holiday project to work on together, so it would be more convenient for them to live together.
As a result, Mizuo directly moved into Yuki's room.
They shared meals, sleep, and living quarters, getting along so well that they seemed like real sisters.
On the other hand, in the matter of prosecuting Bai Yaxin, both Chongzong and Uesugi Yui were outsiders and could not help, so they could only quietly wait for good news from Manranyama Souren.
What Chongzong and Uesugi Yui had to do was ensure the safety of the Uesugi family and prevent any opportunities for Bai Yaxin.
Within their capabilities, they did their best.
For example, whenever Uesugi Yukino went out to buy groceries or shop, either Chongzong or Uesugi Yui would accompany her.
When Yuki and Mizuo went out, besides Chongzong and Uesugi Yui, sometimes they even brought along Officer Dojou Kazuaki and Dojou Mei.
Home security goes without saying, with doors and windows being closely monitored.
Furthermore, Chongzong even used Eiji Hayamizu's connections to buy monitoring equipment installed around the Uesugi family's neighborhood, monitoring intersections and alleys 24 hours a day automatically.
This automatic monitoring system utilized facial recognition technology, where familiar faces like those from the Uesugi family were first inputted. If any unfamiliar face appeared in the vicinity, Chongzong would immediately receive a notification on his phone, allowing him to view the live feed from various cameras.
Thanks to this system, Chongzong gained a lot of new insights into the people living nearby.
Getting back to the point, this monitoring equipment was very reliable and provided Chongzong and Uesugi Yui with a sense of security. Every new face appearing nearby was recorded and feedback was provided in real-time.
Although there were some suspicious faces detected, they were later confirmed to be just passersby after investigation, not sent by Bai Yaxin to cause trouble.
As for the cost of this advanced equipment, it was covered by Manranyama Souren.
Even though she had been expelled from the Manranyama family by Manranyama Uminari, she still had plenty of means to accumulate wealth.
This seemingly decorative young lady proved with her own abilities that she excelled not because of the Manranyama family, but because of her own talents.
For someone of her age to be kicked out of the house and still be able to live independently is already impressive, let alone expect her to have the ability to do other things.
These initial successes did not make Chongzong and his team lower their guard; they continued to vigilantly protect the Uesugi family diligently every moment of every day.
During this time, Chongzong tried several times to talk to Uesugi Yui about the night when she provided long-range support with a bow and arrow, but they never quite managed to find a moment to have that conversation.
Chongzong felt that for Uesugi Yui, making up her mind to shoot arrows at living people must have required great determination.
Therefore, he wanted to talk to Uesugi Yui to prevent her from being haunted by inner shadows.
But before Chongzong could find the opportunity, a call from Hayamizu brought unexpected bad news to him.
And this bad news quickly spread and became more difficult to control, involving multiple parties.
"Lord Uesugi, sorry, that woman has run away." (Eiji Hayamizu)
