"Draft Proposal for the Joint Political Council of the Ruler of Demons and Gods and the Takamagahara Consultative Institute"

In this draft, the vast majority of the key senior management appointments were personally drafted by Kamiyagawa. Isohime's work was to further refine the boundaries of authority and responsibility for these core personnel within this framework, and to meticulously perfect every detail of the system's construction with almost obsessive attention to detail.

Kamiyagawa flipped through the draft documents, examining the most crucial part of the text—

[Establish a joint council of gods and spirits under the rule of the ruler]
The Joint Council of the Lord of Demons and Gods, or the Cabinet, is the highest decision-making and executive body for the daily administration of Takamagahara. Its core consists of two top decision-makers.

[Chief Executive Officer (Prime Minister): Isohime]
His duties include overseeing the overall situation, presiding over meetings of the joint council of officials, deciding on the major policies for the development of Takamagahara, and being directly responsible to Kamiyagawa, the lord of all spirits.

Princess Isohime is the undisputed choice for chief administrator.

She was originally the de facto head of general affairs and the central authority within the Takamagahara system. She possessed strong administrative management skills, a broad perspective, and unconditional loyalty. Moreover, she was calm, fair, and capable of carrying out Kamiyagawa's will and balancing the interests of all parties.

[Consul (Deputy Prime Minister): Wen Che Yaofei]
Their duties are to assist the Chief Executive. They are in charge of all matters related to the modern world, overseeing the high-tech industries, economy, and culture within Takamagahara that relate to the modern realm, and will assume the duties of the Chief Executive when he is unable to perform his duties.

Wen Che was extremely intelligent and equally loyal.

Previously, her work focused primarily on the operation and capital management of the cultural industry in the real world, while maintaining a cautious approach to intervening in the internal affairs of the real world.

However, with the final battle of the Tokyo Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) coming to an end and the myth created by Kamiyagawa descending into the world, the merging of the mortal world and the real world is an inevitable occurrence. At this time, it becomes extremely important for top talents like Fumikawa Yokai, who are both well-versed in the rules of the real world and absolutely loyal and reliable, to participate more deeply in the core governance of the mortal world.

Moreover, the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, Isohime and Bunsha, complement each other's abilities. Isohime excels in domestic affairs and macro-planning, while Bunsha is proficient in modern economics, finance, and modern corporate management.

With the two working together, they can definitely achieve coordinated governance of affairs in both the eternal and present worlds.

This is also Kamiyagawa's earnest expectation for the two of them.

[Establish six administrative provinces]
The Six Administrative Ministries are six core functional departments under the Joint Council of the Emperor, directly led and managed by the two governors. Their functions comprehensively cover all administrative areas necessary for the daily operation, development, and construction of the Takamagahara civilization.

Previously, the daily administrative affairs of Takamagahara were basically carried out by the administrative team that Isohime had built and continuously improved, under Isohime's overall planning. When it came to matters in professional fields, the opinions of experts in relevant fields, such as Satori, the Medicine Seller, and the Foot-Selling Granny, would be consulted on an ad hoc basis.

The old system was sufficient for the originally barbaric world of the Mortal Realm.

Now, the six administrative provinces have gone a step further by institutionalizing and clearly defining the administrative functions in different fields. This not only ensures that specialized agencies are continuously and thoroughly responsible for various professional matters, but also guarantees from the institutional level that professionals in each field can perform their duties and maximize their effectiveness in their most proficient positions.

This is a direct manifestation of the maturation and leap forward of the political system in Takamagahara.

[Ministry of Home Affairs]
The department's responsibilities include the assessment and appointment of officials, population management, social security, and the arrangement of festivals and celebrations.

[Vice Minister of Home Affairs (in charge of operations): Fukuhime]
[Vice Minister of the Interior: Ajiu]
"What a great hosting job..."

Kamiyagawa's fingers, which were flipping through documents, silently traced the list of Home Affairs Ministers.

From the moment the Iyo region submitted to and became dependent on Takamagahara, Afu and Xiao Jiu have been Iso-hime's capable assistants, learning and growing within the administrative system.

Based on Kamiya's long-term observation, the two little beast girls' performance was indeed remarkable. They were diligent, intelligent, and their sense of identification with Takamagahara was growing day by day.

Fukuhime and Aku are actually representative figures of the Iyo Tanuki and Iyo fox clans, respectively, possessing natural prestige and influence within their clans. Furthermore, their approachable and endearing personalities, coupled with their previous work primarily related to grassroots livelihoods and frequent direct contact with ordinary people familiar with ghost stories, have garnered them a considerable "mass base" and made them quite beloved.

However, both little beast girls are still relatively inexperienced and lack the experience to truly stand on their own.

They are two rough stones that still need polishing and carving.

This is also why Princess Isohime only appointed two deputy positions and no principal positions in the Ministry of Home Affairs. This arrangement itself serves as a training ladder and a buffer mechanism.

After that, Isohime herself will likely become deeply involved in the daily operations and major decisions of the Ministry of Home Affairs, until Asoku and Koko's political wisdom, decision-making ability and overall control have matured, and then she will gradually relinquish power.

As for appointing Fukuhime as the Deputy Minister in charge of "operations," it implicitly suggests a clear inclination to promote her to the position of head of the Ministry of Home Affairs in the future. This arrangement was not Isohime's sole decision, but rather a decision made after comprehensively considering the personal wishes and character traits of both parties involved.

The little raccoon girl is naturally cheerful and outgoing, with a strong sense of affability and excellent communication and coordination skills. She has a natural advantage in matters that require facing the public, handling population management, and organizing large-scale festivals, making her more suitable to stand in the spotlight and represent the Ministry of Home Affairs' approachable image.

The little fox spirit Ajiu, on the other hand, is meticulous, introverted, and calm, with outstanding logical abilities. She enjoys and excels at handling complex data, files, and procedural matters. As she herself said in her "heart-to-heart talk" with Isohime, she prefers to provide support to Afu behind the scenes to ensure the smooth operation of government affairs.

Therefore, in general, the personnel arrangements for the high-ranking positions in the Ministry of Home Affairs are very reasonable.

Ministry of Finance
The department's responsibilities include preparing the budget for the Gaotian Plains, tax collection and management, treasury management, and the implementation of Soul Crystal and monetary policies.

[Vice Minister of the Interior (in charge of operations): Abacus Monk]
The Abacus Monk is a weak little monster in the supernatural tales.

Kamiya remembered that the abacus monk had joined the Takamagahara faction back when Dreamland was expanding outwards and gradually being established as the Paradise Market.

As for the process...

At that time, Kamiya River had only recently conquered the Sea Kingdom.

Kani-hime, leaving the Sea Kingdom for the first time, arrives in Takamagahara with curiosity and enthusiasm for the vast world. She actively participates in the construction of the Paradise Market and takes on the important task of "finding talent".

Perhaps inspired by the unique existence of the candle-making monk he encountered in Takamagahara, or perhaps by some strange associations that arose during his exploration of the Eternal World, this little guy inexplicably believed in and practiced a unique "talent capture principle" during that period:
"The bald little monks all have special abilities, making them perfect monsters to capture and train at our headquarters!"

Although the logic is bizarre, in reality, Kani-hime's outrageous theory seems to be correct...

As a wild and gentle ghost story, the abacus monk was forcibly taken back by Kani-hime in a "unconventional" manner. After being guided and influenced by Takamagahara's subsequent "carrot and stick" approach, he quickly joined the administrative team that Iso-hime was initially building.

At this time, life in Takamagahara was like a fish in water for this "little monk with special abilities".

In the field of financial management, Suanpan Xiaoseng possesses an almost innate and remarkable talent. He has an extraordinary sensitivity and control over numbers, accounts, and resource flows, and his professional skills are growing rapidly.

For a long time, he has been the de facto financial core of Isohime's administrative team. With his steady, precise and efficient work, he has relieved Isohime of the extremely heavy financial management pressure. He is an "invisible" contributor to the smooth operation and gradual expansion of the early economic system of Takamagahara.

As for the reason for temporarily appointing the abacus monk as the Deputy Minister of the Interior to oversee the work, it is completely the opposite of the situation of Afu and Xiao Jiu.

The abacus-wielding monk's professional skills were already highly refined, and he was fully capable of handling things independently. However, due to his humble origins, limited strength, and introverted and taciturn personality, he was more like a "silent doer" than a leader who could rally people.

Therefore, what the abacus monk lacked was not professional skills, but the prestige and appeal required of a high-level leader.

Therefore, temporarily taking charge of the work in a deputy capacity, with Isohime or Bunshayo-hime providing some support and "backing" in the early stages, will help him make a smooth transition and gradually win the true trust and loyalty of his subordinates within the newly established Ministry of Finance, thanks to his impeccable professional abilities.

Furthermore, Kamiya could see that Isohime's appointment of the abacus-boy as Vice Minister of Finance clearly had a political dimension to it.

From its very inception, Takamagahara made a promise to all who submitted to it:
This place will create an equal and safe environment for living. Regardless of social status or ability, as long as one has the corresponding skills and is willing to learn and grow, one can gain unlimited opportunities for development and advancement.

The Abacus Monk is a living example of this; he is a beacon erected by Isohime for all the weak but dream-filled ghost stories.

Bringing the abacus monk to the forefront would greatly motivate the vast number of ordinary and even lowly ghost tales, strengthen their identification with and loyalty to the Takamagahara system, and encourage capable grassroots ghost tales to move to middle-level positions that are more suitable for them.

[Ministry of Construction]
The department's responsibilities include territorial development, urban and infrastructure construction, and large-scale engineering projects.

[Construction Minister: Blacksmith Woman]
Finally, we've seen a clear appointment of a senior official in one of the six administrative provinces.

The Blacksmith is a direct disciple of the master craftsman Jue, and the chief planner and executor of all construction projects in Takamagahara to date. She possesses extremely high technical authority and project management capabilities. Moreover, most of the civil engineering enthusiasts under her command have received her technical guidance, or were even trained by her personally.

There's nothing more to say about her being chosen as the Minister of Construction; it's well-deserved.

As for why Jue wasn't appointed Minister of Construction, the reason is quite simple—

Jue is a legendary master craftsman who inherited the skills of the ancient gods of Jinshan and Tianjin Maro!

She has more professional things to do and shouldn't let tedious administrative tasks distract her.

Her apprentice was more than capable of handling the work of a technocrat.

[Ministry of Industry]
The department's responsibilities include coordinating industrial and agricultural production (such as the Aokihara Mine, the Iyo Tea Garden, and workshops in various regions), commercial and trade policies, and resource allocation.

[Industry Manager: Cat Shopkeeper]
[Deputy Minister for Industry: Paper Dance]
In Kamiya's personal opinion, for a long time, the cat shopkeeper was positioned as his... cute pet.

However, this only represents his personal opinion as the owner. In fact, in most supernatural tales, the Cat Shopkeeper has always been a mysterious and inviolable being.

Cat Shopkeeper is a "founding elder" of the Takamagahara faction, having made great contributions back when Kamiya River was still pioneering the Tokoyo.

Most of the shikigami under Kamiya's command have received favors from the cat shopkeeper.

The materials for building shrines to help everyone advance to the level of Aragami were initially collected piece by piece from all over the world by Neko, who pulled a small cart and worked tirelessly.

Furthermore, after the Paradise Market was built, the Cat Shopkeeper also accumulated a great deal of prestige among the merchant class.

Although Dreamland is Usamaru's territory, the merchants who do business there, as well as the ghost stories enthusiasts who frequent the place, all know the truth—

Usamaru exists in the amusement park, serving primarily as a forceful "ringleader." The real manager of that bustling trading district is the magnificent, bejeweled cat.

Not to mention, the cats' own abilities are also extremely well-suited to the industry.

Its unique ability and vision in exploring resources and planning raw material production are innate, something that no other ghost story or even deity in the entire Takamagahara possesses. For example, the development of the Iyo Tea Garden was the work of the Cat Shopkeeper's claws.

Another one is paper dance.

The discovery of this origami girl was a major oversight by the Takamagahara Group in terms of talent management.

Like the abacus monk, the paper dance is also a lowly monster with humble origins and weak strength.

Earlier, when Kamiya was conquering the Live Fish Inn, he killed all the violent and uncommunicable ghosts there, but spared the few communicable and gentle ghosts.

Paper dance is one of them.

Having escaped being dismantled into soul crystals by Kamiya, the origami girl was given a second chance at life. Some time later, the Takamagahara forces launched their first wave of "population statistics" and labor force integration.

Because of her literacy skills, Paper Dance was chosen by Isohime and taken to the newly built Paradise Market to work as a "state-run clerk," serving as both a bookkeeper and a salesperson in the Paradise Market.

Thus, Paper Dance's talent was gradually discovered.

She is intelligent, studious, hardworking, and diligent.

She was one of the best employees recruited by Gao Tianyuan in the early days of his business, and she performed her duties as a bookkeeper and salesperson flawlessly.

As a result, she naturally gained attention and was promoted, and began to manage the amusement park's trading resources, assisting the cat shopkeeper.

But the paper dance can do much more than that. Even Isohime and Kamiyagawa himself have realized this—

This origami girl is practically a youthful version of the legendary femme fatale!

Perhaps because they are both monsters born from paper, Paper Dance also has the ability to remember everything she sees; her learning ability is second only to the Paper Cart Demoness.

During her time working in Takamagahara, Komami Mai had a wide range of interests. Not only was she able to perform her own job well, but she was also able to do a commendable job when she was occasionally asked to give presentations at celebration ceremonies.

Without a doubt, she is a rare all-around talent in the world of ghost stories.

However, in this round of high-level personnel appointments, Isohime still placed Kami-mai in the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Commercial trade policies and resource allocation were tasks that Paper Dance had been doing since joining Takamagahara, allowing her to accumulate rich experience. Furthermore, her collaboration with Cat Shopkeeper had already formed a strong rapport. The Ministry of Industry was handled by Cat Shopkeeper in terms of revenue generation, with Paper Dance assisting in management—a perfect combination.

[Ministry of Culture and Education]
The department's responsibilities include maintaining the belief system, media promotion, and education and training covering both monster skills and human knowledge.

[Literature and Education: Enlightenment]
[Vice Minister for Education and Culture: Granny Lush Grass]
Wu is the only one among the top officials of the six administrative provinces who is now considered a deity.

This guy has an eccentric personality and a sharp tongue, yet he has an adorable appearance that can blur right and wrong and soften one's stance.

Surprisingly, it was quite popular within Takamagahara.

However, Wu's accumulated prestige was not solely due to his good looks.

In fact, the spread of the Satoru faith had already begun within the Takamagahara region long ago. Now, in Takamagahara, the name Satoru is widely known in almost every ghost and spirit tale.

Everyone is well aware of the miracles that have fundamentally changed our way of life, bringing unprecedented convenience and connectivity—

The Kisaragi Train network that spans various regions, the seamless cross-regional communication, and the rich and diverse film and entertainment content all rely on the authority of this "remarkable Lord Satoru" to function.

This is similar to how Wu previously debuted as a V using a fake identity and achieved great success.

She doesn't need to create a special "persona." As long as Wu stands there, what she can do and what she has already done is the fundamental reason why she is loved by the people of Takaten.

As the goddess of the internet and wisdom, Wu is able to manage all electronic ghost stories and control media and information technology. She is definitely a powerful force in promoting ideological construction by utilizing modern facilities and technology.

As for the Vice Minister of Education and Culture, Granny Lucao, unlike Wu, she represents another indispensable force in the process of cultural dissemination.

The power of tradition.

As the leader of the Ainu mission, the early faith-spreading activities of the Takamagahara deities, including Kamiyagawa himself, were all handled by Fukusa-baba.

She has a deep understanding of the operational logic of traditional beliefs and is adept at transforming abstract divine will into concrete collective cognition. Grandma Lucao is perfectly suited to be in charge of deepening traditional beliefs, building spiritual culture, and promoting unity and cohesion across ethnic groups.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The department's responsibilities include intelligence gathering and analysis, communication with the present world, and negotiations with future world forces that may not yet be incorporated into the Takamagahara system.

[Foreign Minister: A Little Old Man]
[Vice Foreign Minister: Hoshiguma Doji]
In the field of intelligence gathering and analysis, within the entire Takamagahara system, if the old man's abilities are second to none, no one would dare claim to be first. With this intelligence master, who has now risen to the rank of Aragami, in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' core intelligence work, he possesses absolute authority and credibility, and no one can raise the slightest question.

The little old man was originally a figure of humble origin, but he was fundamentally different from the abacus monk and the paper dance.

The little old man was the longest-serving and most senior retainer of Kamiyagawa, a true example of "meritorious service in supporting the emperor." In the political spectrum of Takamagahara, the little old man belonged to an extremely prominent and deeply rooted faction of elders.

For a long time, he remained loyal to Kamiyagawa. Whether it was conducting reconnaissance behind enemy lines or overseeing the overall intelligence framework, his contributions and hard work were outstanding.

He deserves the position of Foreign Minister.

Speaking of which, Kamiyagawa remembers that when he first met the little old man, the man had a seemingly absurd ambition:

"Follow the Onmyoji master closely, and one day, all the ghost stories in the world will look up to me!"

For someone who was insignificant at the time to have such arrogant ideas makes one wonder whether to praise his lofty ambitions or laugh at his overestimation of his abilities.

But thinking back, Kamiya and the little old man at the beginning didn't seem so different—

A mortal aspires to become the supreme ruler of all demons, ghosts, and gods.

The two elder brothers, master and servant, did not laugh at the younger brother.

But now, the former master is about to ascend to the highest divine throne, and the former retainer is about to become the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in charge of Takamagahara's eyes and ears and mouthpiece.

This is more than just being "highly regarded"; it's practically placing them in a position that all other ghost stories have to look up to.

So, the little old man's initial absurd ideal, which was both pitiful and laughable, must have been fulfilled in a way that far exceeded expectations, right?
pretty good.

As for Hoshiguma Doji, the female demon king of Mount Oe, she is fond of drinking and has a lazy and carefree personality, but she has an unparalleled beauty that can topple kingdoms, and her demeanor naturally carries the elegance and aloofness of an ancient nobleman.

Appointing her to a diplomatic position that requires frequent public appearances and attention to etiquette and rhetoric is a perfect fit for her talents.

Kamiya remembered that he had talked to Hoshiguma about his ideals.

However, that was not Hoshiguma's own ideal, but the last wish of the late Oni King of Mount Oe, Ishiguma-dōji.

"To create a world where humans and demons can coexist harmoniously."

Kamiya promised Hoshiguma that he would work towards fulfilling this vision.

In fact, given Kamiya's eagerness to subdue the Oni clan of Mount Oe at the time, this promise had a somewhat empty promise feel to it...

But now, this grand ideal has already achieved its stage goals.

The Takamagahara created by Kamiyagawa has proven that different races and origins of ghosts and spirits can coexist harmoniously and prosper together under the same set of rules and visions.

As for the broader concept of "harmony between humans and demons," with the conclusion of the Tokyo battle and the arrival of mythology in the present world, both the present and the mortal realms have reached a historic turning point. Barriers have been forcibly broken down, perceptions have been completely refreshed, and the opportunity for the two worlds to understand each other and explore new symbiotic models has arrived.

However, Kamiya no longer has the resources to do this.

But he doesn't intend to go back on his word.

They've made promises, but not entirely.

Kamiya intends to hand over the decision-making and leadership of this unfinished project to Hoshiguma Doji. From now on, all exchanges, contacts, negotiations and cooperation with the world will be handled entirely by Hoshiguma, who will serve as the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, under the guidance of Bunsha Yo-hime.

He hoped that Hoshiguma would no longer be just an elegant and detached observer, merely skimming the surface of the times as he had in the past.

He hoped that Hoshiguma could personally step barefoot into it, stir up the waves, and moisten himself.

This can be seen as Kamiya's response to his promise to "create a world where humans and spirits coexist harmoniously." (End of Chapter)
