Thanks for the translation!
I don't think the elders sent Three Legged Crow too. More likely they decided to make him fleet admiral of Beiyang after Mu signed up and sent Ding Yuan to collect him ASAP to get him quickly aboard before he cancelled his enlistment. As for Hitomi showing up it's more plausible Three Legged Crow's spies in Beiyang told them about Mu signing up and his educational level so quickly sent her to try to win him over before he could officially take his post in Beiyang. That or both fleets and the elders had an eye on him due to his educational level, history in school, lack of job and dwindling money. After all, during the fight Ding Yuan and Hitomi had commented about how the other had swooped in to steal planets and resources that was supposed to be theirs. Do agree the elders seemed to have had their eye on him for a while considering how quickly he was promoted and Ding Yuan showing up to retrieve him. Especially since it seems educational level of even the 2nd gens and admiral who showed up were inferior to his.
