The quiet time gained by postponing dinner did not last long. He Que just sat on the ground in a daze for a while, and then there was a knock on the door behind him.

She pulled herself out of her memories, calmly brushed off the dust on the back of her clothes, and opened the door for the visitor.

It's Kujo Kamajima.

He Que originally thought that the people coming would be Kujo Takayuki's subordinates, so he couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he saw this.

Kujo Kamajima thought she didn't welcome him, and raised the lunch box in his hand a little awkwardly: "I saw that you didn't come to eat tonight, and the same for lunch. Well, no matter how unhappy you are, you have to eat something..."

Kujo Kamajima is one of the few soft-hearted people in the Kujo family. He can't stand seeing her abuse her body like this.

It’s a pity that He Que really can’t eat it now.

She moved aside to make way for him to enter the door and thanked him quietly, "Thank you, second brother, but I don't have much appetite at the moment."

Kujo Kamajima opened the lunch box, trying to use the aroma of the snacks to change her mind, but unfortunately, Kazuque didn't notice this at all, and just stared at the bare floor in a daze.

He found the situation a bit tricky and tried to solve the problem from the root by starting from He Que's psychological activities.

Kujo Kamajima roughly calculated and remembered that Heque started to lose his appetite after he received the visiting card from Kamisato family at Kujo family's house and knew that they were going to send someone over to deliver something.

He felt that he had seen through everything, and he advised earnestly: "Although the lord of the society did not come with you, Miss Kamisato came in person, which is enough to prove that he attaches great importance to this marriage. There is no need for you to be so dissatisfied, right?"

Kujo Kamajima's thinking is very simple. After all, Heque has been following Kamisato Ayato for so many years, so she must like him very much. So she must be unhappy because he didn't come on such an important day.

He pretended to sigh and said, "You are just like your father. He didn't look very happy at the dinner table today. He kept complaining that the community official didn't take him seriously."

In Kujo Kamajima's opinion, the Tenryo Bugyo and the Shrine Bugyo are of equal rank, and Kamisato Ayato is busy with work, so it is normal for him to ask his subordinates to come and discuss things. Even Kamisato Ayaka doesn't need to make this trip.

Although He Que did not see Kujo Takayuki's expression with his own eyes, he could guess what he was dissatisfied with. After all, he had been extremely contemptuous of Kamisato Ayato from the very beginning, so he naturally felt that his not coming was a lack of respect for him.

At first, relying on the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law, Kujo Takayuki did succeed in interfering in the affairs of the shrine magistrate for a period of time. However, Kamisato Ayato soon turned the tables and, before anyone could react, teamed up with the shogun and Yae no Miyabi, and kicked out all the people that Kujo Takayuki had placed in the shrine.

Kujo Takayuki has always been unwilling to accept that he was tricked by a young boy. Not only did he serve as a protective umbrella for several years for no reason and got nothing in return, but even the Tenryo Buggyo was secretly suppressed by the Sha Buggyo after that.

As a result, he no longer liked Que and would punish her for no reason for a long time.

He Que had long lost his respect for his father due to his behavior, and was left with only a dead heart feeling of being used. He did not hide his indifference towards Kujo Takayuki.

Hearing Kujo Kamajima link him to him, Kazuque frowned slightly and emphasized unhappily, "I'm not skipping meals because of this. I just really don't have an appetite. It has nothing to do with the lord of the society."

She tried to explain, but Kujo Kamajima thought he saw through everything and nodded perfunctorily, but his hand did not stop pushing the snacks in front of her.

And the sparrow was silent.

However, Kujo Kamajima's eyes were too eager, as if he would stay here forever unless she ate him.

There was nothing He Que could do. In order to let him leave early, he hesitated for a while before picking up a piece and taking a bite.

Kujo Kamajima naturally took her action as a sign of giving in, and contentedly left the whole box of snacks and went home.

However, he was still concerned about his youngest sister, worried that she would continue to be depressed. After much thought, he decided to write a letter to the head of the Kamisato family, asking him to help enlighten her.

If you can chat more with the person you like, your mood will definitely improve, right?

Kujo Kamachi, who was in love, naturally thought of it. Although it was a little late, the letter from the second young master of the Kujo family was delivered to the foot of Yingxiang Mountain at the fastest speed. At this time, the sun had just set, and the head of the Kamisato family was sending the envoy to Dong away.

The woman in the lead was wearing a black lace mask, and the half of her face that was exposed had an uneasy look on her face.

Kamisato Ayato seemed to be completely unaware of her impatience and continued to maintain a gentle attitude: "If the executive officer is interested, the company magistrate will not refuse, but for anything else, please refuse."

The messenger looked at this smiling but treacherous atmosphere and somehow he subconsciously dodged to the side.

Rosalin sneered: "Since the Society has rejected our proposal, it must have never intended to cooperate with us Fatui from the beginning. Why bother wasting each other's time in such a hypocritical way?"

Kamisato Ayato just smiled and said nothing.

He would never do anything that would give others a chance to talk about him. Some things were inconvenient to say, so it was most appropriate for Rosaline, who took the initiative to extend the olive branch, to say them.

Rosalin saw what he meant, and her expression became more disdainful: "You are clearly the commissar of Inazuma, but you are so timid and hesitant in your actions. It's really ridiculous."

She left with a group of people in a grand manner.

Kamisato Ayato waved his hand nonchalantly and turned to look at the messenger who was hiding behind the pillar of the torii and trying to pretend to be invisible.

"can I help you?"

The messenger finally came out and carefully handed over the letter in his arms: "Sir, I am delivering a letter for the Kujo family."

The first thing that came to Kamisato Ayato's mind was the girl's shy and evasive look.

He took the letter and said with a smile, "Sorry for the trouble."

It was the first time for the messenger to be treated with courtesy by such a powerful figure. He said quickly, "It's no trouble, no trouble. The Second Young Master repeatedly asked me to hand it to you personally."

"Kujo - the second young master?" Kamisato Ayato paused.

The messenger did not notice his abnormality and continued respectfully, "Yes, it is a letter from Master Kujo Kamajima."

Kamisato Ayato stuffed the letter into his sleeve and asked the society magistrate beside him to give him some of the reward.

The messenger left happily.

Kamisato Ayato turned back to the house and happened to meet the eyes of Kamisato Ayaka who came to observe the situation: "Ayaka, it's so late, aren't you going to rest?"

Kamisato Ayaka laughed: "Brother, what weird things are you talking about? It's just past dinner time now. Even Granny Furuta doesn't go to bed that early."

Being teased by her own sister, Kamisato Ayato couldn't hide her embarrassment.

Kamisato Ayaka was a little worried, and attributed her brother's misbehavior to the Fourth of Fools who came rashly. However, Kamisato Ayaka always liked to take all the responsibility on herself, and she didn't know the inside story, so she could only try to say something else to make him relax.

Naturally, she thought of Heque, whom she was going to visit today.

"Miss Kazuque is a little different than before—"

"Oh? Really?" Kamisato Ayato asked back quickly.
