My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Upon hearing this, Tenjo Megumi didn't speak, but stared intently at Takayanagi Ichiro, as if trying to discern something.

Chapter 447 You want to go to Qiong's room?

Emi no Megumi's eyes are beautiful because they are full of vitality.

This girl had a very bad past, but she met some nice people.

Of course, there are also her own reasons, otherwise she wouldn't have become a shrine maiden.

So, when Takayanagi Ichiro looks at her with the eyes of a shrine maiden, she finds it very interesting; it's a completely different kind of gaze from that of an ordinary person.

"Miss Shrine Maiden, is there something wrong with me?" Takayanagi Ichiro asked with a smile.

This amused even Amane Ei, who hadn't expected Takayanagi Ichiro to be so amusing.

Takayanagi Ichiro clearly holds a high position and is very wealthy; his current attitude is like that of a student from the same school.

This must be related to the fact that Ichiro Takayanagi only graduated from university not long ago, and he still has the air of a student, which is why he can be somewhat close to Ifukube Yashiro and Amatsume Akira.

“I see quite a few red lines on you, Mr. Takayanagi.”

Faced with Takayanagi Ichiro's question, Amamiya Akira actually gave an answer, but it was a rather strange one.

"You're just a lowly shrine maiden, not a god who governs marriage. How could you possibly see the red thread on my body?"

Takayanagi Ichiro found it very strange. He didn't believe in the existence of gods at the moment, but he could talk about it with the shrine maiden.

"I am not worthy to be a god, but in Okumizome, I can indeed see some strange things, which is why I am able to become a shrine maiden."

Those who are lost, after finding me at the shrine, I can also guide them out of their confusion.

Unfortunately, the people in this village weren't very wealthy, and after the presiding official died, few people came to visit me.

In the end, Tennome Ei sighed.

Her abilities remained, but after the abbot's death, the shrine's authority fell to his descendants.

They complained that the villagers were too poor, and the donations were barely enough to cover their expenses, so they raised the donations, resulting in fewer and fewer people visiting the shrine.

This is why Ifukube Yashiro was able to so easily bring Amatsume Akira out of the shrine for five million yen today; there's a reason behind it all.

"Then you can tell me what the red threads on my body are."

Since there's nothing else to do right now, chatting with the shrine maiden at the shrine for a while is fine. Just treat it as a joke, and maybe I can tell it to Ran and the others when I get back.

"What I can see is that there are many red threads wrapped around you, Mr. Takayanagi. The thickest one is Ms. Amamiya, who came with you."

Emi Tateme did provide an explanation, but it only covered the red thread that Amamiya Etsumiko had.

As for the other two red threads in the house, she didn't say a word.

There is a possibility between Ifukube Yashiro and Takayanagi Ichiro. After all, Takayanagi Ichiro supported her 10 million yen charity and also lent her 5 million yen to save Amatsume Ei. Her feelings for Takayanagi Ichiro must be different.

The two of them might naturally progress to a point in the future, but I also have a red thread connecting me and Takayanagi Ichiro, which is a bit outrageous.

In the end, Emi Tateme's face turned a little red.

"Mr. Takayanagi, I've prepared your room. Let me show you around."

Ifukube Yashiro came over with good news, but seeing that the situation between Amamiya Akira and Takayanagi Ichiro seemed a bit off, he asked curiously:

"Ei, Mr. Takayanagi, nothing happened between you two, did it?"

Because the current state of Amaneme Ei and Takayanagi Ichiro is somewhat like a confession, and a situation where one needs to consider it.

Upon hearing this, Amamiya's face turned even redder, as if she was worried that Ifukube Yashiro would also be able to see the red thread.

“We talked about the shrine and Miss Amamiya becoming a shrine maiden. You don’t get that kind of opportunity outside.”

Takayanagi Ichiro answered Ifukube Yashiro's question, which relieved Amatsume Akira.

If he had said what he just said, he might have been ridiculed by Ifukube Yashiro. Fortunately, Takayanagi Ichiro helped him out.

This filled Amaneme Ei with gratitude towards Takayanagi Ichiro, but she immediately lowered her head, because it meant that what she had seen was very likely to happen.

"From now on, Ei will study hard. We can talk about the shrine maiden later." Ifukube Yashiro didn't pay attention to Amatsume Ei's little tricks. She only needed to settle Takayanagi Ichiro.

Since that was the case, Takayanagi Ichiro got up and followed Ifukube Yashiro to see where he was resting.

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

Kasugano Hospital.

The first floor belongs to the hospital. In its heyday, the second floor was also the hospital's inpatient department, but now not many people come to see doctors, so it has become a residential area.

The rooms of the siblings Kasugano Haruka and Kasugano Sora are not opposite each other, but rather they are at opposite ends of the room.

Kasugano Sora went out for dinner, but she kept asking questions about Takayanagi Ichiro, which made Kasugano Yu a little unhappy, though she didn't express it.

Kasugano Haruka, feeling that everyone was asleep, tiptoed out of her room, preparing to head to her destination at the other end.

Unfortunately, he was caught just as he reached the middle.

"Yu, if you need to use the restroom, you don't need to walk this far at all."

The second floor used to be the inpatient department, and the nurses' station was retained there. The voice that was trying to stop them came from the nurses' station.

Kasugano Yuu was startled, but he quickly realized it was his grandfather, Dr. Kasugano's voice.

"Grandpa, you're scaring people like that, it'll make them sick." Kasugano Yu took a deep breath, and then Dr. Kasugano started scaring people late at night.

Dr. Kasugano is still in his "Big White" (or "Big White") form. If there weren't lights on at the nurses' station, he might be mistaken for some other creature.

"Yu, you have a restroom over there, why did you ask me to come over?"

Kasugano Haruka basically grew up in this hospital, so how could she be frightened by the hospital itself or the nurses' station? It's obvious that something is on her mind.

"Grandpa, the toilet over there is a bit clogged, so I wanted to go to the toilet across the street. It'll be ready soon."

When asked by Dr. Kasugano, Kasugano Yu gave an explanation and then decided to continue walking.

"Yu, you want to go to your sister Sora's room, right?"

Chapter 448 Awakens Haruka Kasugano and the Person Crawling in Bed

When Dr. Kasugano said this, he spoke in a relaxed tone and directly exposed Kasugano Yu's plan.

"Grandpa, I'm just going to the restroom, I don't mean to go to Qiong's room."

Kasugano Haruka was completely startled, but he forced himself to calm down and even made a accusatory denial.

"Okay, let's go to your room and see if the toilet is clogged."

Dr. Kasugano came out of the nurses' station, casting a huge shadow on the ground.

Although Dr. Kasugano is getting on in years, he looks much stronger than Haruka Kasugano.

If Haruka Kasugano were to rebel against Dr. Kasugano now, he would definitely be thoroughly investigated, in a completely unreasonable manner.

Faced with Dr. Kasugano's suggestion, Kasugano Yuya could only manage a couple of dry laughs.

"Grandpa, maybe I'm seeing things. I'll go back and check the toilet again."

After Kasugano Yu finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave, but Dr. Kasugano grabbed his hand.

"grandfather……"

Does Grandpa intend to uphold justice and even kill his own family? Resisting is futile.

"It seems we need to have a serious talk, otherwise who knows what you might do after I die."

Dr. Kasugano did not let go of her grandson, but pulled Kasugano Yu towards the chair opposite the nurses' station.

The nurses' station wasn't removed, nor were the chairs opposite it, because they were both prepared for special occasions.

Haruka Kasugano couldn't break free from her grandfather's grasp, so she could only sit with him.

"Yu, you and Qiong are high school students now, so you should still maintain a certain sense of boundaries with your sister."

While I'm around, I can keep an eye on you and prevent you from going down a path of crime.

But after I'm gone, you and your siblings will be all alone, and no one will be able to help you anymore.

Dr. Kasugano was telling the truth, and Kasugano Yu immediately lost all thoughts of resistance and hurriedly made a promise to Dr. Kasugano.

"Grandpa, I will definitely protect Qiong, even if it costs me my life."

Everyone could sense Kasugano Haruka's feelings for Kasugano Sora, but only the members of this family felt them more deeply.

Dr. Kasugano did not deny Kasugano Yu's assurance. He knew that Kasugano Yu would definitely sacrifice his own life to protect his sister in a crisis, but there were some things that still needed to be stopped.

"Yu, you wouldn't have done this before. Could it be because of Mr. Takayanagi's appearance today?"

To completely resolve his grandson's problem, Dr. Kasugano first needs to find the root of the problem.

Kasugano Haruka and Kasugano Sora used to be very close, but he would never sneak into Kasugano Sora's room in the middle of the night.

“Grandpa, why don’t you talk to the villagers and ask Takayanagi Ichiro and Amamiya Etsuko to leave our village? I’m worried that they are having an increasingly big impact on the village.”

Haruka Kasugano knew about his grandfather's connections in the village, and if he were to put in a good word for him, it would definitely have a very good effect.

"If we had no prior interaction, a simple greeting from me would definitely have a good effect."

But now Mr. Takayanagi is your sister's benefactor, and given his intelligence, he must have deeper connections with the village; this isn't something I alone can deny.

Kasugano Yu didn't believe what Dr. Kasugano said, because Takayanagi Ichiro had gone with Ifukube Yashiro.

What connections would Ifukube Yashiro have in this village? If he did, he wouldn't have come back from Tokyo to rest for such a long time.

Like Ifukube Yashiro, Nogizaka Hatsuka returned from outside and has been working at Nagisa's house for quite some time. The two have completely different connections and choices.

However, Haruka Kasugano couldn't refute her grandfather, so she could only remain silent.

"Are you thinking of using your relationship with the Nagisa family?"

Although his grandson didn't say anything, Dr. Kasugano had already figured out what he was thinking.

The Nagisa family is the largest family in Okumizome, and Dr. Kasugano is the only doctor in Okumizome. The two families must have had some interaction, and it was a very friendly one at that.

Moreover, the eldest daughter of the Nagisa family also attends high school in the village, so the two may have some connection.
