My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

I've found a fairly advantageous location in the village, but I'd like to ask Dr. Kasugano for guidance on sourcing the goods.

It's impossible to just laze around in the village and wait to die, so Ifukube Yashiro decided to find something to do.

Opening a small pastry shop is also a good option, since there are quite a few children in the village.

"My network is mostly in the medical and nursing field, so I really don't have the ability to give you any advice on opening a shop."

And I believe you're not just doing this for your own sake; you have other motives too.

When faced with Ifukube Yashiro's request, Dr. Kasugano clearly stated where he could help and where he couldn't.

"Yes, I want to bring Amaterasu Ei to live with me. I don't want her to live alone in the shrine."

"He's a pitiful child, but if you take him in, it's very likely that you'll have some conflict with the villagers. Have you thought it through?"

"Let's bring her here to live first, and then we can deal with the conflicts later."

“Well, I might be able to help.” Takayanagi Ichiro suddenly spoke up at this moment, and then Ifukube Yashiro and Dr. Kasugano’s eyes both fell on him.

"Mr. Takayanagi, is there anything you can do to help me?"

"I can definitely offer some assistance with things like sourcing supplies and decorating your pastry shop. What I care about is your choice to go against the choice of someone in this village."

We plan to do charity work here, but the obstacle is this councilor from your village.

Since it's something he doesn't want to happen, we definitely want it to happen.

"Mr. Gao Liu..."

"She is the manager of Amamiya Real Estate. Whether it's the renovation of your confectionery shop or the sourcing of goods, she can provide you with complete assistance."

After Ichiro Takayanagi finished speaking, Etsuko Amamiya readily handed over her business card.

Upon receiving the business card, she examined it closely and realized it was definitely authentic. She had also heard of Amamiya Realty.

"Weren't you guys developing your business in Shizuoka Prefecture before?"

"Shizuoka Prefecture is still too small, which is why we are moving into Tokyo."

Moreover, with Mr. Takayanagi's help, we were able to establish ourselves in Tokyo.

Therefore, Mr. Takayanagi's statement that he can help you is absolutely no problem.

Ifukube Yashiro was surprised that Amamiya Etsumiko's real estate company would also receive help from Takayanagi Ichiro. Takayanagi Ichiro's previous willingness to challenge the senator showed that he was indeed very capable.

"I just wanted to do something here, and I didn't have any intention of going against the councilors."

Of course, if going against him will get me what I need to do, then I'll consider it going against him.

At this time, Ichiro Takayanagi gave Yashiro Ifukube a lot of confidence.

Dr. Kasugano didn't know about Amamiya Realty, but judging from Ifukube Yashiro's reaction, he knew that there must be a powerful figure behind Takayanagi Ichiro, otherwise he wouldn't have disregarded the senator.

"Mr. Takayanagi, Ms. Amamiya, thank you so much for your help. Now I'll go and sign the contract for that confectionery shop."

If you'd like to travel around here, you can come with me, and I'll be your guide.

As mentioned before, they plan to do charity work and tourism here.

Helping him now is considered charity, so afterwards, Ifukube Yashiro will act as a tour guide for Takayanagi Ichiro's people, letting them appreciate the scenery here.

"Okay."

Takayanagi Ichiro and Amamiya Etsumiko did not intend to stay at that hospital any longer, but Dr. Kasugano did suggest that Takayanagi Ichiro and the others could stay at the hospital for one night when they were about to leave.

......................

After Ichiro Takayanagi, Etsumiko Amamiya, and Yashiro Ifukube left together, Haruka Kasugano came to his grandfather.

"Grandpa, why do you want that person to come back to the hospital?" Kasugano Yu's biggest wish was that Takayanagi Ichiro would not come back after leaving, so that he could no longer have any contact with his sister.

Upon hearing what Kasuga Yuu said, Dr. Kasuga's expression immediately turned sour, and he scolded his grandson.

"Xiaoyou, Mr. Gaoliu is still your sister's benefactor no matter what."

"And Ms. Amamiya even cooked lunch today, and we didn't even say anything..."

"But Grandpa, didn't you pass on all the bone-setting techniques to him?"

Chapter 441 Shrine Priest Maiden Meei

Neither Kasugano Haruka nor Kasugano Sora possessed any medical talent, but they knew that their grandfather's medical skills were quite powerful.

Dr. Kasugano has already taught Ichiro Takayanagi the techniques of bone setting, so that can be considered a form of repayment.

“Xiao You, after I die, you and your sister can’t live in this village forever. Your future lies outside.”

So you need to make some changes yourself, otherwise you'll suffer.

Dr. Kasugano spoke up to educate his grandson at this time because he hoped that the grandson could adapt to the outside world in advance.

"Grandpa, you are a doctor, you will surely live to be a hundred years old."

If Dr. Kasugano had sheltered them for a little longer, they wouldn't have needed to go out into the world at all.

"No one would dare to say such a thing."

Dr. Kasugano waved to his grandson, signaling him to go do his own thing.

.................

No one was sitting in the passenger seat of Takayanagi Ichiro's car; Ifukube Yashiro and Amamiya Etsumiko were both sitting in the back seat.

Ifukube Yashiro was very familiar with the village and could give directions to Takayanagi Ichiro even while sitting in the back seat.

They soon came to a fork in the road.

“Mr. Takayanagi, this is the confectionery shop I’ve chosen.”

Takayanagi Ichiro stopped the car, and he, Amamiya Etsuko, and Ifukube Yashiro got out of the car together.

This is a junction with many forks in the road, and there is a small river next to it with a bridge over it.

"This building has been vacant for quite some time, and I plan to rent it to use as a pastry shop."

This is another intersection of several roads, and many people stop here. I'm sure my pastry shop will do very well.

Ifukube Yashiro is not suited to the fast pace of life outside, but she can still do some business at home without any problems.

Just put a box outside with the price written on it, and people can simply put the money in the box.

"This location is excellent. If the renovation is done well and the supply channels are established, this area has great potential for development."

As the manager of Amamiya Real Estate, he greatly appreciated this point of progress and his gaze towards Ifukube Yashiro changed somewhat.

Although Ifukube Yashiro's escape from Tokyo to the countryside might seem a bit cowardly, she still has some foresight.

"I'm glad you can provide me with a source of goods, but the renovation and refurbishment of this pastry shop will cost money."

After graduating, I worked in Tokyo for a while, but I didn't save much money.

"Are you planning to take out a loan?" When Amamiya Etsuko said this, her gaze fell on Takayanagi Ichiro, because Takayanagi Ichiro was a loan shark.

“I don’t trust those lenders outside. I originally planned to borrow money from Dr. Kasugano, but seeing his situation, I gave up the idea.”

Opening a pastry shop in a village is not an easy task, not to mention that you need to purchase goods to fill the pastry counter.

"Miss Ifubu, my true identity is actually a moneylender."

But this time I'm not going to lend you a loan; instead, I'm going to do some charity work with you.

I can give you ten million yen for free, but your confectionery shop needs to be named after me, and you need to sign a charitable contract.

At this moment, Ichiro Takayanagi introduced himself, which surprised Yashiro Ifukube. He hadn't expected that Etsumiko Amamiya would be a loan shark.

However, Takayanagi Ichiro did not intend to lend her money; instead, he planned to give her ten million yen to use free of charge, in order to obtain the naming rights to the confectionery shop and charitable documents.

"Thank you, Mr. Takayanagi."

Ifukube Yashiro expressed his sincere gratitude to Takayanagi Ichiro, and he completely accepted Takayanagi Ichiro and Amamiya Etsumiko as outsiders.

Receiving 10 million yen in charitable donations is a huge sum for Ifukube Yashiro.

She could easily open her pastry shop, and it would also improve her and Amane Ei's lives.

“I already said that I’m here to do charity work, so I definitely need to do some things.”

Takayanagi Ichiro was a man of his word, and he immediately took out his checkbook, wrote a check for ten million yen, and handed it to Ifukube Yashiro.

Ifukube Yashiro hadn't expected Takayanagi Ichiro to be so decisive, but she didn't refuse and simply put the check away with both hands.

"Mr. Takayanagi, I will definitely not let you down. I will manage this shop well."

Then, Ifukube Yashiro said to Takayanagi Ichiro and Amamiya Etsumiko:

"Mr. Takayanagi, Ms. Amamiya, let me take you to visit this shrine. It's a different kind of scenery."

"sure."

Ichiro Takayanagi came here for charity tourism, and being able to visit the village's shrine is a good thing.

Moreover, with a guide like Ifukube Yashiro, there might be a better outcome.

Since the shrine is in another direction, Ichiro Takayanagi still needs to drive there.

Anyway, the village wasn't very big, and it didn't take long before Takayanagi Ichiro, Ifukube Yashiro, and Amamiya Etsumiko arrived at the shrine.

"This shrine has been around for quite a long time. We used to come here often when the head priest was still alive."

But since the abbot passed away, and I've been working elsewhere, I rarely come here anymore.

"Without a presiding priest, how will this shrine continue to function?"

Amamiya Etsuko felt something was strange; the head priest was dead, so the shrine should just fall into disrepair, right?

"There is another priestess here."

"An octogenarian sister."

No sooner had Ifukube Yashiro finished speaking than someone greeted him from below the torii gate.

This is a girl who looks like a high school girl, but she is wearing a red and white shrine maiden outfit, making her look like a saint.

"Ying".
