- June 3, 2006
Shuurei has been having problems with the palace's finances, and as a result, she has not been able to pay her bills. She decides that in order to save the palace's finances, she will need to take a trip to the nearby town of Kijin. While there, she hopes to find a way to increase the amount of money coming in, and she also hopes to find a way to decrease the amount of money going out.
The trip to Kijin is not an easy one. Shuurei and her group must travel through rough terrain and face the harsh elements. Along the way, they encounter a group of bandits who try to rob them. Luckily, they are able to fend off the bandits and continue on their journey.
When they arrive in Kijin, Shuurei is surprised to see how small and rundown the town is. She meets with the town's mayor, who tells her that the town is struggling financially as well. Shuurei decides to help the town, and comes up with a plan to improve its finances.
The plan involves creating a new trade route between Kijin and the palace. This will allow the town to trade its goods with the palace, and in turn, the palace will be able to sell those goods for a profit. The plan is risky, but Shuurei is confident that it will work.
After several days of hard work, the plan is finally put into action. Shuurei and her group help to clear a path between Kijin and the palace, and a trading post is set up in the middle. The first shipment of goods arrives from Kijin, and the palace is able to sell them for a profit. The town of Kijin is also able to make money from the trade, and its financial situation begins to improve.
Shuurei is proud of what she has accomplished, but she knows that there is still much work to be done. She hopes to continue to improve the palace's finances and make it a place that everyone can be proud of.
As the episode comes to a close, Shuurei reflects on the journey she has taken. She realizes that it is just the beginning of a long and difficult road, but she is ready to face whatever challenges come her way. She knows that a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, and she is determined to take that step.
