Chapter 900 The Joint Council of Imperial Subordinates and the Takamagahara Consultative Office

[Establish a Supreme Court]
The Supreme Court is a newly established judicial body in Takamagahara.

Its responsibilities include formulating and interpreting laws, adjudicating major cases, and arbitrating internal disputes.

Previously, most of the arbitration decisions within Takamagahara were made by Kamiyagawa personally.

However, as the territory of Takamagahara expanded and the number of its subjects, who were subject to various supernatural tales, increased, disputes and conflicts of all sizes became inevitable. Furthermore, with Kamiyagawa himself about to enter a deep sleep, the construction of Takamagahara's judicial system became particularly important at this time.

Next, local courts will be gradually established.

Furthermore, to ensure the absolute impartiality and neutrality of the judicial system, Isohime also explicitly stated in the draft—

The Supreme Court is independent of all administrative and deliberative bodies and is accountable only to the deity of the gods and spirits, Kamiyagawa.

[Chief Judge: Oboro]
Kamiya's gaze lingered on this personnel appointment for a moment.

Long, the once proud and aloof palace chief in the moon palace, her image overlaps with that of the lonely figure by the window in the sea kingdom, bewildered by "superfluous emotions".

Hmm... Kamiyagawa once read Princess Kaguya's diary, in which she "wrote down all her innermost thoughts."

As the former priestess of the Moon Palace, Oboro possesses the inherent qualities of the people of the Moon: she is full of wisdom and extremely rational.

However, her long-term work experience in the "lower realm" of the mortal world has also imbued her with some of the unique sentimentality and warmth of the "lower realm".

Without a doubt, Oboro is the most suitable candidate for presiding judge.

To entrust the power to judge good and evil, to measure justice, to someone who has just learned to understand the meaning of "emotion"—perhaps this is precisely what "justice" should be like. She understands both the absoluteness of rules and the preciousness of warmth.

This perfectly aligns with the characteristics of the Takamagahara judicial system that Kamiyagawa and Isohime hoped to build.

While maintaining absolute rationality and fairness in the judiciary, it also incorporates appropriate humanistic concern.

[Establish a General Headquarters]
Similar to the Supreme Court, the military system was institutionally independent, not directly subordinate to Chief Administrator Isohime, to ensure its professionalism and operational efficiency. However, in order to exert necessary political constraints and strategic guidance on the "war machine," the High Command, while adhering to the supreme principle of direct loyalty to Kamiyagawa, was also responsible to the Joint Council of State Affairs itself.

The General Staff primarily exercises "training authority" and "command authority," but does not possess full "conquest authority" and "declaration of war authority." Any cross-regional mobilization of organized troops or large-scale military operations must be carried out with a clear authorization document formally issued by the Joint Council of the Emperor and countersigned by the Chief Executive.

[Establish a standing army]
Its duties include conquering foreign lands, expanding territory, and eliminating violent and bizarre forces that cannot be incorporated into the system or pose a serious threat.

[Commander of the Standing Army: Golden Bear Boy]
[Commander-in-Chief of the Standing Army: Usamaru]
[Establish a garrison]
Its responsibilities include maintaining internal security, stabilizing social order, defending territorial security, and responding to sudden crises.

[Commander of the Garrison: Kani-hime]
The command headquarters consists of two armies: a standing army and a garrison army, each commanded by Golden Bear Boy and Crab Princess respectively. They are independent of each other and each performs its own duties. However, they need to cooperate closely in tactical matters involving cross-domain operations, major crises, or resource allocation.

As the deputy commander of the standing army, Usagi-maru is mainly responsible for small-scale military operations such as special operations, infiltration and reconnaissance, and rapid response. His functions are deeply intertwined with the intelligence network of the little old man, the Foreign Minister.

Currently, Kinkuma-doji, Kani-hime, and Usamaru have all been confirmed to possess the qualifications and potential to advance from the rank of "Aragami" to the rank of "God." Their successful advancement in the future will ensure the military advantage and deterrent power of the Takamagahara army system.

[A separate gendarmerie governor was appointed]
[Supreme Commander of the Military Governors: Seven Attendants]
The Military Governor's Army was a newly established military unit in Takamagahara, and its size was much smaller than that of the regular army and the garrison army.

Primarily, it exercises supreme supervisory and investigative powers over military discipline and loyalty. It is responsible for monitoring all unusual developments, dereliction of duty, and signs of ideological alienation within the military, and even investigating and suppressing any potential rebellion plots, ensuring the absolute purity of the military and its unconditional loyalty to Kamiyagawa and the Takamagahara regime.

The Seven Imperial Guards are a group of supernatural beings, with Inao Takeshi being upright, Miyauchi Chihiro being resourceful, and Asaki being calm... all capable of handling the complex mentalities and multi-faceted judgments required for the work of the military inspector. Moreover, the Imperial Guards regard Kamiyagawa as their "Master," and their loyalty is guaranteed by both contract and time, making it beyond question.

Currently, Kamiya has returned the Demon King's Hammer to the seven Imperial Guards. With the hammer in its complete form, the Imperial Guards, when united, can unleash fighting power comparable to that of a god. This is both the highest recognition of their loyalty and a guarantee of military strength for the Military Governor to deter and even suppress any dissent within the army.

[Establish a Special Advisory Bureau]
[Advisory Members: Satori, Medicine Seller, Candle-Making Monk, Foot-Selling Granny, Takiyasha-hime, Yahachi Tanuki]
The Special Advisory Bureau is not a routine administrative body and does not participate in specific government operations or decision-making processes. Its main members are composed of top experts, masters, and individuals with special abilities from various fields within Takamagahara, serving as an "external brain" that embodies the highest level of technical expertise and professional wisdom.

The top experts mentioned here actually include Takiyasha-hime, who is still working hard to "grow up".

Takihime holds absolute authority in the fields of casting, analyzing, countering, and exploiting curses.

When it comes to major strategic planning, policy consultation, or special projects involving their respective professional fields, advisory members possess extremely high authority and the right to make recommendations. They have the right to report independently and offer professional advice directly to the chief regent, Isohime, either directly to the deity of the spirits, Tanigawa himself, or, during his slumber, to the chief regent.

The advisory bureau’s daily research, experimentation, production and innovation work will receive direct support from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, ensuring that these professionals can devote all their energy to exploring and making breakthroughs in cutting-edge fields.

Another one is the Eight Hundred and Eight Tanuki.

Although the old tanuki is proficient in the art of illusion, his position as advisor is more of an honorary one. As the former leader of the Iyo Tanuki clan, Yaoyahachi submitted to the clan before Takamagahara officially "opened up" to foreign rule and provided ample support during the subsequent integration process.

Now, its daughter, Fukuhime, has entered the core management of Takamagahara. Granting the Yayoi-no-Tanuki an additional honorary advisor position is considered a gesture of appeasement and reward for those who surrendered early.

In addition to the establishment of various institutions and the appointment of personnel, Princess Isohime also meticulously divided the Joint Council of Imperial Sons into two parts: "Regular Meetings" and "Plenary Meetings"—

[Regular Meeting of the Joint Political Council Under the Ruler of Gods and Demons]
It is mainly attended by the heads of the six administrative provinces and handles routine administrative affairs.

[Plenary Session of the Joint Council of Gods and Demons]
All members, including military and judicial leaders, attended the meeting to discuss issues concerning the fundamental security of Takamagahara's development, major legal interpretations, and strategic direction.

This measure can prevent Kinkuma and Kani-hime, as military leaders, from becoming too involved in administrative affairs, thus ensuring the efficiency of the administrative system.

Neither of them were particularly fond of holding frequent meetings...

At the same time, it can also ensure that representatives such as Kinkuma and Kani-hime, representing their respective functional departments, have the right to speak and participate in discussions on the overall development policies of Takamagahara.

Thus, the core structure of the Takamagahara New Government was clear: the administrative, judicial, and military systems operated in parallel, each independent, with clearly defined powers and responsibilities, and were not subordinate to one another, yet ultimately all power was concentrated in a single core—

The eternal "sun" of Takamagahara, the Kamiya River.

That concludes the draft proposal for the Cabinet; the next part will be the Parliament's proposal.

[Establish the Takamagahara Consulting Institute]
The Takamagahara Consultation Institute, also known as the Parliament.

Their duties include reviewing proposals submitted by the joint council of the emperor, reflecting public opinion, and supervising administration.

It is a key institution in the Takamagahara regime that embodies the spirit of pluralistic governance, checks and balances, and democratic consultation.

Although the Consultative Council does not have direct executive power, it possesses the power to deliberate, question, and shelve proposals. Bills drafted by the Joint Council of the President must be submitted to the Consultative Council for review. The Consultative Council has the right to request amendments or delays, but cannot unilaterally veto them. The final decision-making power rests with the Chief Executive and the Supreme Court.

[Consultant Composition]
[Representatives from various regions: Major administrative regions such as the Land of the Sea, Oeyama Castle, Paradise Market District, Iyo, and the Ainu Root Land, with fixed seats allocated according to population ratio.]
[Representatives from various ethnic groups: Oni, Sea Clan, Moon People, Tanuki, Tsukumogami, and Unaffiliated Ghost Stories, each enjoying guaranteed seats.]
[Representatives from various professions: Elected by industry organizations such as artisan guilds, agricultural and commercial associations, and local labor unions, reflecting the demands of different economic sectors.]
[......]
[Consultant: Princess Kaguya]
The chief consultant represents the advisory institute, is responsible for chairing advisory institute meetings and maintaining order, but does not participate in daily voting.

Kaguya, as the little princess of the moon palace, is noble and pure, with a cheerful and approachable personality, capable of uniting consultants from all sides. Having her as the "mascot" and symbolic head of the consultation institute best reflects its core positioning as a platform for negotiation, a channel for public opinion, and a symbol of harmony.

The cabinet plus parliament administrative system in the draft is a creative transformation and localization design by Isohime, who referenced the current national governance framework and combined it with the actual situation in Takamagahara.

It is very detailed at the institutional level, and can be described as a draft that combines political wisdom and political art.

As expected of Iso-hime!
Kamiya only needs to give a general direction, and she can perfectly fill in the details!

Beyond the "secular" governance system of the cabinet and parliament, the Takamagahara regime also has a core institution with an extremely special status and entirely different nature—

[Holy Temple Organization]
This organization does not directly participate in secular political operations and management. Its members are directly subordinate to the supreme deity of the gods and spirits, Kamiyagawa, and hold an absolutely transcendent position. They are a "sacred pillar" that stands above the conventional administrative, judicial, and military systems, representing divine authority and supreme military power.

Furthermore, its internal members are appointed solely by Kamiya himself.

[Members of the Holy Spirit Temple Organization—]
[Miss Mary, Hannya, Inugami, Kujira, Baku, Tengu, Kaoru, Auspicious Spider Goddess, Ibaraki-doji, Yatagarasu]
[Onizuka Kirihotaru, Kanoya Yukino, Tsurumi Aoi]
[Reserved Seats: Eight-Foot Woman, Demon Mother Goddess]
The members of the temple constitute the highest array of deities in the Takamagahara faith system, and the Ministry of Education will be directly responsible for the operation of the faith system of the gods of the Holy Spirit Temple in the present world and the ordinary world.

After Kamiya River falls into slumber, specific members of the temple will take turns guarding three absolutely crucial locations—the Dark Side of the Moon, Yomi Hirasaka, and Takamagahara Shrine—around the clock, which are vital to the survival and political foundation of Izumo.

Among them, the spider goddess Yausikep is not participating in the rotation because she is temporarily unable to leave the land of Ainu's origin.

As for Ibaraki-dōji, since his brother Shuten-dōji's injuries are gradually healing and he can now leave Ōeyama Castle regularly, he is required to participate in the duty shifts.

Furthermore, the positions of Yasakana (Eight-Foot Woman) and Kishimo-no-Kami (Kishin Mother Goddess) are reserved for them as they are currently considered aboriginal deities. Both of them have the potential to ascend to divine positions, especially Yasakana, whose divine authority relic obtained from Izumizu Ugly Woman seems to be very suitable for her at present.

Once the eight-foot-tall woman and the demon mother have officially become gods, they can participate in the rotation.

Currently, Kamiyagawa is researching how to relax the contract restrictions on core shikigami, with the goal of allowing them to obtain a "half-shikigami" state similar to Kaori Kaori's after they enter a dormant state.

They are free to do as they please on ordinary days and will only respond to a call to action when necessary.

This should be an achievable goal for Kamiyagawa, who possesses the power to rewrite the laws of Izumo.

However, there are exceptions among the shikigami.

The main characters are Mary and Prajna.

Based on their strong personal wishes, Mary and Hannya wish to accompany Kamiyagawa in his slumber beside the shrine until Kamiyagawa awakens.

If it is an active slumber, unlike Kamiyagawa's "passive slumber" due to maintaining the seal, the existence of Mary and Hannya will greatly enhance the defensive power and divine stability of the Takamagahara Shrine itself.

Kamiya respected and accepted this wish.

Finally, there are the three special cases: Onizuka, Kanoya, and Tsurumi.

Onizuka's presence in Takamagahara is not prominent, but as the shrine maiden who will accompany Kamiya into slumber, his status is naturally transcendent.

As for Little Deer and Little Sunflower.

Besides the important "rotation" system, another core function of the Holy Spirit Temple organization is to directly protect and assist the growth of the two "successors," Kanoya Yukino and Tsurumi Aoi, ensuring that they can eventually obtain the "qualification" to complete the future handover mission.

Incorporating them into the Temple organization means they are directly subordinate to Kamiyagawa himself, transcending all secular management systems. Their future role will be that of two special deities with transcendent status within Takamagahara, but not rulers who enjoy the title of "Lords of All Gods and Demons."

……

After reading the document, Kamiya Kawa glanced sideways and his gaze fell on Iso-hime, who had been waiting quietly beside him.

The starlight shone through the broken dome of the temple, casting a hazy and silent silver edge on the mermaid princess's aloof features, and then seeping deep into the depths of her golden eyes.

"Distribute the draft and solicit everyone's opinions," Kamiya said. "If there are no problems, then officially release it as soon as possible."

"As you wish, master."

The slender dragon tail behind Isohime gently swept across the ground as she bowed her head in response.

Beneath the usual calm and obedience in her eyes lay a deeper emotion, devout and subtle, like an undercurrent in the deep sea disturbed by the moonlight, but ultimately it only rippled for a fleeting moment.

Immediately, that fluctuation was replaced by a more absolute and unshakeable will.

It was a kind of unwavering determination that belonged to Isohime personally, almost like a sacrifice.

"Then, we set about convening the first plenary session and regular meeting of the Political Consultative Conference."

Snapped--

Kamiya gently closed the thick document in his hand, which outlined the blueprint for the governance of Takamagahara over the next century, making an almost inaudible sound.

The pages of the old era have finally been turned, and the prelude to a brand new era has been steadily sounded.

A new curtain is slowly rising. (End of Chapter)
