The opposition
Shiba believes Kunishige’s eyes are the only way. Mashiro is still opposed to stealing ore for a civilian. Both can be true in the same bureau week. Hasumi’s lab is failing. The Sorcery Bureau is becoming an army. Irishima’s vein is already a national project. The partner’s no is printed so the kiln does not look like consensus.
Mashiro is alive in the talks. That matters. Part 2 is not only Chiaki and Kunishige in a fire. It is a table of people who remember the theft argument. Shiba will later leave the Kamunabi. Mashiro’s file stays bureau-shaped.
The later uncle
Readers who only know Shiba as Cafe Haru Haru’s teleporting adult meet Mashiro as the proof that Shiba always had a partner who would argue. See Mashiro and the talks.
