The three days of merrymaking and house visiting was very enjoyable. Colourful lanterns were made and strung across the whole of New Kitakata Town and it had been a month since I was inaugurated as a Mayor and Governor and everyone was delighted that we had brought changes towards the lives of the residents in New Kitakata Town.
It was a great launch of the festivals. Roman candles were bought and lit. Multiple rockets were launched in the air and every single bloom of fireworks lit up in everyone's eyes. After 6 months, I had been able to see the fruit of the labour and nearly everyone was employed by Fasuto Japan in either the government, administration or production lines. It was one big success and this was a big push for the rest of the municipalities to follow.
I was sitting at one of the benches in someone's garden with Izumi at my side and Tokugawa Iemochi had found a new friend, it was a visiting Princess that had been assigned looking for him and her name was Princess Kazu or Chikako among her friends and peers.
"Let them play catching among the trees and so on... I've got you for 3 days and 2 nights, Izumi... What shall we do right now?"
Just then Ruffnut and Tuffnut were riding Barf and Belch, the two headed zippleback and had adorned the dragon with lighted lanterns of various colors, the same goes to Head and Butt where colorful lanterns were hung on their necks and and their tails too. They seemed to enjoy their time as well and added variants to the festivities.

"Hii...hii...hii... I want to be close to you and don't want to let you go, can?" as Izumi slid up next to me and rested her head against my arm and watched Ruffnut and Tuffnut with their dragons flying above town. As we sat, a small girl came up to me and she reminded of Rin,the small girl that Sesshomaru had helped before.
"Uncle... Auntie... This cake is very colourful and the taste is very sweet. Are you the one who made this? My little brother also liked it very much..." the little girl was complimenting and she was holding it gently with her fingertips and eating it layer by layer as she sat near us.
"Hahahahaha... This recipe was mine and I gave it to the 'aunties' to make and share with everyone. Hahahaha. Who taught you how to eat like that?" I asked since the little girl knew how to eat it just like the time it was last prepared when the ex-Mayor was alive.
"Hii...hii...it was my mummy who taught me how to eat it. She's your employee, uncle. Hii... Hii... She said she only saw this cake was like 2 or 3 months ago. It was very nice and now everyone here can have a taste. Uncle... Auntie... Do you want to drink anything?"
"Hahahaha...don't trouble yourself, kid. Uncle here sitting with Auntie for a short while, later we will visit some other houses too."
"Hii...hii...hii...living here is much better, uncle. My brother and I have our own room while Mother has her own. Mother said when I'm old enough, I will sleep with her."
"Oh...is your Mother working alone?"
"Yes, Uncle... She works in the morning shift and sometimes she would help out the other neighbours if they need her to do some sewing or something like that."
"She used to sell fried banana fritters in the old home. Maybe she will do it again and I will help her to sell to get more income."
"Izumi, take note of her Mother's name. This is not just her alone but I need you to find out, out of the 5400 employees, who are single parents."
"Girl, come here. What's your mother's name?" Izumi asked and noted when the girl told her of her mother's name.
"I will get the plant supervisors and assistants to gather all the information needed. It would only take one day. I will make them write down the names, age, number of children, department, warehouse number and shift as well as their immediate supervisor."
"Great work, Izumi. I'm heading back to read the reports from all the municipalities that had come in earlier. I just need to glance through the before and after changes and reforms made and acknowledge what I had seen and read. Maybe you could help me arrange all the reports based on what I need to see later."
"The reports were all in the business conference building... We could go there in a short while. Let's visit some more houses and see what they had prepared for their own meals. Just a little bit here and there also is better than nothing. Hahahaha."
"Hii... Hii... Hii... Making these makes us closer to our employees too." as Izumi wrapped her arms around mine and we walked through the grounds.
The 6 Mechs were having the time of their lives too. They didn't know that Japanese people are so hospitable and they could raid people's house of their food... Hahahaha. Just joking. In fact, it's an open house concept. Even if you don't know one another, this fiesta brings people closer. Everyone is welcome to share their food and drinks.
When the 6 Mechs saw us, they approached us and invited us in. Blueprints of sorts were taped to their walls and it seems that its a reminder of constantly upgrading and improvised their machines.
"Boss, when would the warehouses be ready? We are itching to set up the Windtech and can't wait to supply these New Kitakata Town with lights..."
"Next week, my friends. It would take about 3-4 days for the 15 warehouses to be built. By the way, can I ask a small favour from you?"
"Sure, Boss... What is it? Anything we could help, we would sure render our assistance. Being paid to do nothing makes us lazier and with the free slowing food and drinks we would become fat in no time. Hahahaha."
"It is this... I need you to draft a letter to those whom you knew and tell them of your wellbeing here. At least they knew that the Japanese were treating you well and you are employed under Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha with 10 gold coins per month that would be equivalent to three times of your current salary."
"Secondly, I would require 2 Mechs per each shift from 7 am to 3 pm, 3 pm to 11 pm and 11 pm to 7 am. You would be required to report 30 minutes before the start of each shift to be briefed on the last shift on what they were performing so you would do the necessary followup."
"You would each be assigned to 45 male and 45 female workers per shift and they would be helping you to perform assemblies as well as the erection of the structures outdoors."
"Would there be any questions?"
"So we choose our own buddies, and we have 90 workers at our disposal for the production of Windtech plus installation outdoors. Splendid idea, Boss...! We were thinking that we were the only ones who would be producing those Windtech."
"You will keep on producing these Windtech for the distribution outside New Kitakata Town and you would either delegate 6 employees to be the plant supervisors and assistant, once you are required to perform outdoor maintenance. Otherwise, you could delegate those people to do it. There would be incentives and overtime pay on top of what you're doing indoors and outdoors."
"That's great, Boss... We can't wait to get started then. Update on the warehouses once they are ready then."
"Alright... I'm pulling an allnighter at the business conference building in case you need to see me for something. Enjoy yourselves these 3 days and 2 night here... Its open house and free-flowing food and drinks from your friendly neighbours."
I waved at them and soon Izumi and I were walking hand in hand towards the business conference building where there were some guests staying at the top. There were about 20 new merchants and they had come here to look at the merchandise and also to participate in the town's fiesta.
I sat at the table in one of the empty conference halls where the piles of reports were sitting there, ready for me to review and state my suggestions and remarks. Izumi turned to the pages marked statistics before and now and set it all up in that manner. I won't be able to know which report I had read unless I closed the book and saw the name of the mayor and the municipality.
I checked my pocket watch around my neck and it showed slightly after 9 pm and here it goes, Hitokiri with the reed pen as he noted and circled out the irregularities on the report statuses.
