Chapter 523 has a probability as high as 98%.

Chao Wuanqing acted quickly.

No, it should be said that the elderly women of Suizhi, who had always cared about the princess of the Asabu family, acted even faster.

Shortly after Aize and the others came up with a plan, before they even had a chance to start school, these old people came to visit them. Their purpose was simple: to relentlessly press them about the marriage agreement.

So many days have passed, and these people are still so persistent. Aize really wants to ask them why they care so much about other people's life-long happiness.

If you have free time, why not spend more time caring for your own little ones and see if they're interested in getting married?

To be so concerned about other people's daughters' marriages, to this extent, is truly something else.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Aize complained in his heart, the people who were supposed to come still came, and even more came than before, making the Chaowu family appear to be constantly crowded, almost making people wonder if another festival was about to be held.

These people even wanted to meet Aize and Yoshino Asagi in person and ask them questions. Fortunately, they were stopped by Yasuharu Asagi, otherwise Aize would definitely have been annoyed to death by these old people.

Chao Wuanqing had also found it annoying, or rather, difficult, because he didn't know how to deal with these people's inquiries. He could only try to find a way to brush them off each time, which was both mentally and physically exhausting.

But now, he's not bothered anymore.

The change in the relationship between his daughter and Aize made him overjoyed. In addition, the plan had been discussed and finalized, so he greeted everyone with a smile and explained Aize's explanation.

After listening to Asahi Ansei's explanation, the elderly women of Hoshino finally understood.

"So it's the same as before, just another blind date..."

"How disappointing. I thought the priestess's fiancé had finally been found."

"I'm actually quite happy. Although it's not an engagement, the fact that the priestess is willing to try getting along with the boy who drew the divine sword is already quite good."

"That's right. You know, in the past, the priestess would always reject any blind dates. The fact that she's willing to try getting to know someone this time is already a huge step forward."

"Is his name Aize? He seems to be from China?"

"My mother is a young lady from the Kurama family? Could she be Genjuro's daughter? That girl named Miyako?"

"Yes, yes, it's her. It's said that she married into the Dragon Kingdom."

"So, the one who drew the Sacred Blade was half one of our own, Suiori?"

"I didn't know that before..."

The crowd began to discuss Aize's identity.

The main reason is that a few elderly people who live a secluded life don't know much about Aize's identity and background, while the others who are well-informed have already found out about Aize's identity and background, and they started inquiring about it after the news of Aize drawing the Divine Blade spread.

This was no small matter for Suiori, especially for those who knew a little about her secrets. Pulling out the Sacred Blade was no small matter; it was an extremely important matter that required their attention.

Therefore, many people already know Aize's identity and background, while only a small number of people still have a vague understanding of him.

Now, with the engagement to Princess Yoshino Asatake of Hoori, Aize's fame has undoubtedly spread even further, to the point that the attention Aize receives in Hoori is almost comparable to that of Yoshino Asatake.

The evidence is that when Aize and Yoshino Asatake arrived at Uzuo Academy together, the news that he was spending time with Yoshino Asatake with the intention of getting married had already spread to the school and been known to all the teachers and students.

As a result, Aize was surrounded as soon as he stepped into the classroom.

"We've all heard about it! Ah!"

"So you really are connected to the priestess!"

"Is it true that although we are not engaged, we are getting along with the priestess with the intention of getting married?"

"As expected of someone capable of drawing the Divine Sword!"

The group of boys were chattering excitedly around Aize. Judging from their excited expressions, anyone who didn't know better would think that it wasn't Aize who was going to marry Asagi Yoshino, but one of them.

At least, that's what Rentaro Kurama, who was lagging behind outside the encirclement, thought.

"You guys, it's just a blind date, why are you getting so worked up? What would happen if you knew they were already engaged?"

Kurama Rentaro muttered under his breath.

As one of the few insiders, Kurama Rentaro knew that Aizawa and Asagi Yoshino were not just trying to get along, but were actually engaged.

The two are already living together. My cousin is living under the same roof as the shrine maiden. Countless wonderful things happen to them every day. How can this be considered a trial relationship?
That's clearly a relationship that's trying out married life!
As he thought about it, Kurama Rentaro was so envious that tears streamed down his face.

"Damn it, my cousin has already hooked up with Princess Suizhi, when will I, the younger cousin, get my chance and end my single status?"

Kurama Rentaro felt a restless, itchy heart, and he even wanted to skip class and go outside to chat up foreign tourists.

As for looking for him at school... well, let's just leave him alone.

His reputation at school was already ruined; there was no way he could ever hook up with a girl again.

The key issue is that Suizhi is still very young, and Uzuma Academy is also small. Basically, all of Suizhi's peers study here. If he has a bad reputation here, it's equivalent to losing his right to choose a partner among all the women his age in Suizhi. He'll probably have a hard time finding a local woman his age to spend his life with.

Therefore, he can only pin his hopes on foreign tourists, otherwise he will be single for the rest of his life.

"No problem. Whether it's Aze or his dad, they've all been seduced by local women from Suizhi, haven't they?"

"Based on this probability, my chances of successfully hooking up with a mature older woman from abroad are absolutely as high as 98%!"

"Where there's a will, there's a way. Go out on the street after school and give it a try. I don't believe it can't be done!"

Kurama Rentaro quietly convinced himself, and for a moment he was full of fighting spirit.

He has selectively forgotten this; to this day, the number of times he has successfully struck up a conversation with a foreign tourist remains zero...

Aize had no idea that his cousin was already daydreaming. While dealing with the excited classmates around him, he kept glancing at Asagi Yoshino.

Asahi Yoshino was also surrounded by a large group of people, being bombarded with questions by a group of equally excited girls, leaving her somewhat overwhelmed.

Aize couldn't help, so he could only silently wish her good luck.

Fortunately, Yoshino Asagi had Mako Hitachi by her side, who shielded her from many people. Otherwise, this seemingly calm and collected shrine maiden, who was actually like a child and often messed things up, would probably have exposed her immature side to outsiders.

And so, both Aize and Asagi Yoshino encountered even greater commotion and attention than before.

However, this is only temporary.

Having finally received an acceptable answer, those who thought they knew the truth between Aize and Asagi Yoshino finally began to calm down after their excitement and curiosity.

The commotion, which had been escalating, finally began to subside at this point. Then, the spotlight was quickly replaced by another matter.

At least, that's the case in Azerborg.

…………

"I am Lena Lichtnawa, from Northern Europe. I transferred here because I love Japanese culture. I hope you will take good care of me in the future!"

When the homeroom teacher, Hina Nakajo, walked into the classroom and led a girl to the podium to announce that a new transfer student had joined the class, the students, who had already obediently returned to their seats, immediately heard this energetic voice and were attracted by the girl's appearance.

"Oooo!"

At that moment, the students in the class, both boys and girls, let out a gasp that was almost a cheer.

"Another transfer student?"

"And this time, she's a girl from Northern Europe!"

"What a beautiful blonde girl!"

"That figure...it's just too good!!"

The girls gasped in amazement, while the boys cheered with wide eyes, as if they had seen their dream girl; they were incredibly excited and thrilled.

Even Kurama Rentaro, who was sitting next to Aize, almost had his eyes pop out of their sockets, looking like a drooling pig.

There was no way around it; the girl on the podium simply had a very striking figure.

Having witnessed that exaggerated physique firsthand, Aize couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

"Sure enough, Lena is in this class after she transferred here."

The Nordic-American girl who suddenly transferred to the school is none other than Reina, whom Aize brought back to Shinato Village a couple of days ago.

At this moment, the Nordic girl who had once given Azer tremendous benefits was now wearing the distinctive uniform of Pelican Academy, just like the other students in her class.

However, perhaps because her bust was too large, she couldn't wear the jacket at all, so Lena simply wrapped the uniform jacket around her waist, dressing like a hot girl.

But this blonde bombshell had an innocent smile on her face, giving off no sense of dominance whatsoever. Instead, she made people feel close to her and benevolent.

A stunning blonde beauty with a fantastic figure, so innocent and kind—it's impossible for her not to ignite the hearts of all the students in the class.

Lena wasn't intimidated at all. Faced with the enthusiasm of the whole class, she greeted everyone warmly and, just like Aize had done before, answered everyone's questions one by one, deepening her classmates' understanding of her.

“(*^▽^*)”

At one point, Lena even saw Aize sitting behind her, their eyes met, and she flashed a bright, happy smile, making Aize wonder if, if the occasion weren't so inappropriate, she might have already raised her hand to greet him.

Even so, when the self-introductions were over and the homeroom teacher temporarily left the classroom to let the students go their own way, Lena still ran up to Aize.

"I'm here, Aze! It's so good to see you!"

Lena remained as outgoing and sociable as ever. Her lively, cheerful, and enthusiastic demeanor attracted the attention of men and women around her.

"What? You two know each other?"

Kurama Rentaro was the first to sneak over and surprisingly spoke up, causing everyone present to be astonished.

Even Yoshino Asagi and Mako Hitachi turned their attention to this side.

"Don't look at me like that. I only met Lena two days ago."

Bathed in the gazes of many, Aize shrugged and said this.

"I'm currently working at my grandfather's inn!" Lena said happily. "It's called Shinato-sou, does everyone know it?"

"W-What?" Kurama Rentaro's eyes widened in astonishment. "Isn't that my family's inn?"

"Huh?" Lena was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "Your family's inn? Shinato-so?"

“That’s right.” Seeing Lena’s puzzled look, Aize immediately said, “He is my maternal grandfather’s grandson, Kurama Rentaro, who is also my cousin.”

"Oh!" Reina immediately looked enlightened, and asked Kurama Rentaro with curiosity and surprise, "So you're the grandson the big boss said we should be extremely careful of?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by 'absolutely be careful'?" Kurama Rentaro immediately panicked, asking repeatedly, "What did Grandpa tell you?"

"Don't worry, it's not anything bad." Lena smiled brightly, as if she didn't understand anything, and said, "The big boss just told me that he has a grandson who is very frivolous and unreliable. He just follows girls around all day and has even flirted with guests at the hotel. He's a dangerous person who can't be trusted, so he specifically told me to be careful of your sweet talk and not to fall for it."

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately cast disdainful glances at Kurama Rentaro.

"Isn't that bad news?!" Kurama Rentaro exclaimed, quickly defending himself, "Don't believe Grandpa's words, I'm the most reliable person!"

"Shut up!"

The crowd immediately erupted in boos, especially the girls, who looked at Kurama Rentaro as if he were something dirty.

"Don't believe him, Lena."

"He is the most untrustworthy person. If the school... no, Suiori has a list of untrustworthy men, he would definitely be at the top of the list."

"Mr. Kurama is right. We must be careful of his sweet talk and not fall for his tricks."

"He's the kind of person who loves to lie to girls."

The group of girls immediately united in their hatred and surrounded Lena, telling her about Kurama Rentaro's great achievements.

"It's over..."

Kurama Rentaro's face was ashen, feeling that the rare blonde beauty was getting further and further away from him, and that there was no hope of striking up a conversation with her.

He hasn't even had a chance to make a move, and he's already going to be sentenced to death?
Is there no justice left?!

"You brought this on yourself."

The group of boys looked at Kurama Rentaro with sympathy and said the same thing in unison.

"My condolences."

Aize patted Kurama Rentaro on the shoulder to comfort him.
