Starting With The Sefirah Castle In The Anime World Chapter 414: The Shijo Family Bows

"Eh…"

The son of a toy company president, who had been forced by his parents to attend the Suzuki conglorate banquet, stood staring at soone with a blank expression.

"Shinomiya-senpai…"

At this mont, he had only one thought: why would Shinomiya-senpai, who had transferred out of Shuchiin, appear here?

"Not just Shinomiya-senpai, but even Fujiwara-senpai…"

Two months ago, after Shinomiya Kaguya, the vice president of the student council, transferred to another school, the atmosphere in the Shuchiin student council completely changed. The student council, which used to be lively, beca like an ice cave, always exuding a depressing, cold mood.

That feeling ca from Fujiwara right from the beginning. She looked like she was about to collapse, and he could still rember it vividly even now.

Not long after, there was news that Fujiwara had also transferred to another school.

Since then, the entire student council had been in a state of stagnation.

After all, Kaguya, who served as vice president, and Fujiwara, who served as secretary, had both transferred, leaving most of the student council work to President Shirogane alone. Naturally, many student council tasks could no longer be carried out.

As the accountant of the student council, he could not help much. At most, he could occasionally help President Shirogane with so of the work.

The vacant positions had to be filled, and the roles of vice president and secretary were essential, otherwise the student council could not continue to function smoothly.

But President Shirogane seed to be in a terrible mood, like a machine that had broken down.

It was at that ti that he realized President Shirogane liked Shinomiya.

Of course, Ishigami Yu only thought about that for a mont before giving up on the idea.

This thought could not hold up, because the gap in status between the two of them was too great.

Kaguya was a pure-blooded Shuchiin student, while President Shirogane was only a mixed-class student.

On top of that, the Shinomiya family was a height that President Shirogane could never hope to reach in his lifeti. No matter how hard he worked, he would never be able to reach the level of the Shinomiya family.

So, so things were just wishful thinking.

But he never expected that Kaguya and Fujiwara, who had transferred to other schools, would also be attending the Suzuki family's party.

Looking at the circle around Kaguya and Fujiwara, there were far more people with them now than back at Shuchiin.

No, to be precise, back at Shuchiin, Kaguya only ever had Fujiwara by her side. Now there were clearly many more.

"As expected of Fujiwara-senpai. She transferred to a new school just to be with Shinomiya-senpai."

Ishigami Yu was not at all surprised by this.

When Fujiwara transferred, he guessed that she was leaving to follow Kaguya.

As for President Shirogane, ever since Fujiwara transferred, his personality had beco darker and darker, as if he could break at any ti.

"President Shirogane…"

Thinking of President Shirogane's lifeless expression, Ishigami Yu shook his head helplessly.

It was obvious that Kaguya had no interest in President Shirogane, otherwise he would at least know which school she had transferred to.

"I just hope you can get over this heartbreak soon."

Now Ishigami Yu could only hope for that, because he saw no hope for President Shirogane at all.

Suddenly, soone familiar yet unfamiliar appeared in front of him.

A girl with twin braids walked up to .

"Long ti no see, Auntie."

The word "Auntie" made Kaguya raise her eyebrows. She glanced at the other person and a smile appeared on her face.

"It really has been a long ti. I thought the Shijo family would take so action and that we would et again, but I didn't expect the Shijo family to choose to retreat. You have been enduring for so many years, and you still endure."

This ti it was Shijo Maki's turn to look uneasy.

At this mont, she looked at Kaguya with a complicated expression.

She also had not expected that Kaguya Shinomiya would take such an unconventional path.

Making friends with the Sanzenin family, and even receiving unilateral support from them, had determined the direction of power within the Shinomiya family. She had almost single-handedly seized all the power in the Shinomiya family and in one move secured the position of heir.

After learning of this, Shijo Maki was completely stunned.

"Hmph, the feud between the Shijo family and the Shinomiya family has been on the table for a long ti. You should be aware of this, Auntie."

"Yes, I know it very well. That is why I sent those people bribed by the Shijo family to prison for stealing the Shijo family's assets…"

Of course, Shijo Maki already knew about this matter.

Mainly because her father, mother, and younger brother had all said similar things. Those bribed by the Shijo family would not et a good end.

And the sa was true for the Shijo family itself.

Because of the theft, the Shijo family had sent so people to take the bla.

However, because of this incident, most of the Shijo family's dostic business empire was swallowed up, and even its overseas businesses were severely suppressed.

This sequence of events had dealt a heavy blow to the Shijo family.

No matter how much the Shijo family expanded its overseas assets, overseas was still overseas. Even if they transferred most of their assets overseas, there was still a large portion of assets that could not be easily moved.

Naturally, these immovable assets received special attention from the Shinomiya family, which was almost the sa as destroying them.

"I thought you would never show up in front of again. What happened? Can the Shijo family no longer endure?"

The smile on Kaguya's face did not fade, and her tone even carried a strong malice.

Was the Shijo family unable to hold out any longer? Of course she knew.

The Shijo family had transferred almost half of its assets overseas, but the other half was still in the country. Most of these were heavy assets that could not be moved easily, but they were also very important.

Once those heavy assets were destroyed, even the Shijo family with its overseas assets would suffer severe losses.

Looking at the undisguised malice on Kaguya's face, Shijo Maki had to endure it even though she was in a foul mood. After all, the Shijo family was in a vulnerable position.

Shijo Maki bowed her head slightly and said softly:

"This ti it is the Shijo family's fault. The Shijo family is willing to pay the corresponding price. I only hope Auntie will not take things to the extre."

Looking at Shijo Maki lowering her head, Kaguya thought for a mont and then snorted.

"Only this once. Since the Shijo family is willing to pay the price, then I will see what that price is. After this banquet, I will stop attacking the Shijo family. I am very curious to see what price your Shijo family is willing to pay."
