Rumor has it that Chairman Kasahara’s youngest daughter is spoiled, her eyes seem to grow in the sky, viewing everyone like trash. Those who haven’t seen her shy away from her na, but once they et her, they realize this girl is exceedingly beautiful, her eyes as lovely as glass.
Her temperant might just be rumors, but her appearance is undeniably captivating to the naked eye.
Many young people who ca from afar to see the spectacle suddenly felt their hearts flutter with interest.
However, the young mbers from the Kanto Region didn’t dare have any ideas. Apart from the fact that they more or less knew what kind of person Kasahara Asuka was, the fact that she only played with Fujiwara Reya, even clinging to him like a shadow, extinguished their hopes.
Fujiwara Reya’s gaze swept across Chairman Kasahara on the high platform.
Seeing only helplessness in her eyes, without any warning or disapproval, he reached out and gently ruffled his junior’s hair, saying kindly, "Don’t fool around in such a solemn occasion."
"I’m not fooling around at all!" Kasahara Asuka tugged at Fujiwara Reya’s sleeve, stared at him with wide eyes for a mont, then smiled adorably, "With my mom sitting up there, no one dares to scold . Now that I’m walking with senpai, naturally, no one dares to scold you either."
"This is still fooling around." Fujiwara Reya shook his head helplessly, "Using family influence to bully others is not good."
Kasahara Asuka pouted, asking aggrievedly, "Senpai doesn’t like it?"
"I..." Fujiwara Reya opened his mouth, his expression conflicted for a mont, then honestly said, "If you co out to protect , and I say I don’t like it, I’d be struck by lightning."
Kasahara Asuka’s eyes lit up, "So senpai likes Asuka!"
"Correction," Fujiwara Reya reached out to ruffle her hair again, "I like that you protect , not you as a person!"
"There’s no difference, it’s all liking Asuka." Kasahara Asuka replied adorably, her gentle, pleasant voice like a young fawn’s hopping around.
When Fujiwara Reya patted her head, she cooperatively lifted her toes to rub her head against his palm.
In the audience, Hoshimi Rinko’s brow slightly furrowed, expressing so dissatisfaction with a snort.
So annoyed!
But she had to maintain her elegance.
So, while smiling elegantly, Hoshimi Rinko repeated two words in her mind... bitch, jerk, bitch, jerk...
On the high platform, Mrs. Kasahara leaned over to Mrs. Hoshimi’s ear, covering her mouth with her hand to whisper, "See, I told you, when it cos to daughters, my Xiangxiang is not inferior to your Rinko."
"Just like you!" Mrs. Hoshimi retorted indignantly.
"It’s my good genes," Mrs. Kasahara’s voice was full of pride, "Why wait for boys to make the first move? Girls can be proactive too, hehe~~"
Her fox-like laughter made Mrs. Hoshimi glance at her daughter with disappointnt.
"..."
The independently beautiful Hoshimi Rinko felt slighted by her mother.
Unlike the two won gossiping about the juniors, the Tsuchimikado Family Head was intently observing Fujiwara Reya. However, upon first eting him, apart from noticing his handso face and calm deanor, he couldn’t discern much. So he asked the elder Koubun Monk beside him, "Master Koubun, you’ve been neighbors with this kid for so long, what do you think of him?"
"Amitabha~"
Koubun Monk recited the Buddha’s na softly, shaking his head lightly, distancing himself by saying, "Not familiar, not familiar."
As a monk, he only had room for Buddhist Law in his heart and didn’t want to get entangled in these matters, let alone be misunderstood by his old neighbor for harboring any unfriendly intentions.
On the advisory board seat, Chief Priest Fujishima wore a grim expression, a premonition of sothing ominous passed over him. In silence, he glanced at his old rival, Kougi Guuji, who only seed to be half-asleep, portraying an indifferent outsider.
Sothing strange is afoot...
Chief Priest Fujishima deeply furrowed his brows.
Be it Fujiwara Reya or Kougi Guuji, both seed confident... The more he thought about it, the more his heart raced; he originally believed he was today’s protagonist, but now he felt like just an insignificant supporting role...
In the center of the great hall, on the empty passageway, the boy and girl continued their conversation as if nobody else were there.
"What were you up to last night, senpai?"
"Killed a few monsters."
"Were the monsters tough?"
Fujiwara Reya leaned close to her ear, lowering his voice, "One of them was a Half-step Demon King."
"Demon King! Wow, cool~" Hearing this, Kasahara Asuka was delighted, her little head nudging against his palm like an affectionate little kitten, her voice soft and cute: "Next ti there’s such an exciting thing, rember to take Asuka along—"
"No way!" Fujiwara Reya said sternly, "Unless you stop holding back."
"I’m not holding back!" Kasahara Asuka puffed her cheeks angrily, "Besides, senpai is more incredible than Asuka imagined, can’t you protect Asuka?"
"You’re pretty impressive too." Fujiwara Reya sighed, thinking at just sixteen, she dares to stand up and intimidate five or six thousand people. Despite her family background, her courage still touched him sowhat.
"Senpai is the impressive one."
"Asuka is impressive too."
"Senpai is even more impressive!"
"..." Fujiwara Reya scratched his head, "Is it appropriate for us to keep complinting each other?"
"Hmm..." Kasahara Asuka pondered seriously for a mont, nodding, "Very appropriate."
Looking at the girl’s relaxed brows, and the youthful innocence revealed because of her happiness, Fujiwara Reya thought for a mont, said nothing, just felt happy and laughed aloud.
Kasahara Asuka chirped on, "Senpai is so amazing, why didn’t you let everyone know before?"
"There’s no point in doing so." Fujiwara Reya replied.
"Senpai sees fa as floating clouds, admirable."
"Mainly afraid of causing trouble."
"Why not afraid of causing trouble today?"
"I want everyone in the Onmyo-ryo to look up to today."
"?"
Kasahara Asuka frowned, pondering this sentence.
Her little face was very serious.
Of course, it was more cute than anything else.
After a mont, she widened her eyes, wearing an expression as if she had just t Fujiwara Reya for the first ti: "Didn’t expect senpai to say such childish words."
"..."
Being called childish by a young girl, Fujiwara Reya gave a sowhat embarrassed chuckle, quietly and slightly aggrievedly rebutting her: "I’m still eight months away from being an adult, what’s wrong with being a little childish..."
The entire great hall seed to forget the the of the day, allowing the two kids to whisper away.
The atmosphere was so quiet it beca almost eerie.
On the high platform, watching the two of them looking so inseparably close and childishly innocent, Mrs. Hoshimi and Mrs. Kasahara exchanged glances.
"Is this okay?" Mrs. Hoshimi asked.
"I think it’s fine." Mrs. Kasahara said.
"That’s not fair."
"What’s unfair?"
"You should make Asuka more reserved and let her compete fairly with Rinko."
"Why don’t you make Rinko less reserved?"
"If Rinko stops being reserved, would she still be Rinko?"
"Right, exactly!" Mrs. Kasahara raised her eyebrows, "If Xiangxiang learned to be reserved, would she still be Xiangxiang?"
This statent made Mrs. Hoshimi roll her eyes out of frustration.
On the advisory board seat, increasingly anxious Chief Priest Fujishima, feeling the situation was getting off track, hurriedly signaled a young mber in the audience to quickly break the strange atmosphere inside the hall and steer the scene back to today’s main topic.
Two seconds later, a cold voice sounded.
"Outrageous!"
"What do you think this place is!"
This voice carried the hoarseness of a voice-changing period, sounding immature while also blatantly exuding an arrogant and aloof tone, as if the speaker, from birth, had been a privileged heaven’s favorite.
