My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Although he climbed the adult ladder with Nao Yorihime at Nao's house yesterday, he still has an evil side. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to jump into the sea over such a small matter yesterday.

Snapped!

Before Kasugano Yu could finish speaking, he was immediately slapped by Kasugano Sora.

The slap was delivered with anger, causing Haruka Kasugano to stumble back two steps and lean against Nao Yorihime.

"Qiong, why did you hit You..."

Yorihime Nao reached out to steady Kasugano Haruka, then asked Kasugano Sora in a resentful tone.

After climbing the adult staircase yesterday, the two of them had a deep heart-to-heart talk and learned why Haruka Kasugano jumped into the sea.

In Yorihime Nao's view, Kasugano Sora yearns for life in big cities, which is why she changes her personality and attitude towards outsiders when she meets Takayanagi Ichiro and his assistant.

However, if Kasugano Sora wants to live in a big city, she should go out on her own; there's absolutely no need for her to be tied to Kasugano Haruka.

"What are you doing? Do you want your woman to bully your sister in the hospital?"

At this moment, Ichiro Takayanagi appeared beside Sora Kasugano and then reprimanded Haruka Kasugano and Nao Yorihime.

Kasugano Sora's support was Takayanagi Ichiro, and she immediately threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Takayanagi Ichiro exposed their relationship, which surprised both Kasugano Haruka and Yorihime Nao, but what surprised them even more was Kasugano Sora's current situation.

"What exactly happened to my sister..." Kasugano Yu asked to herself.

Chapter 473 This is your will

When Takayanagi Ichiro came out of the hospital, it proved that his speculation last night was correct; Dr. Kasugano had indeed arranged for Dr. Kasugano to stay in this hospital.

When Kasugano Yu saw Kasugano Sora with tears streaming down her face, he thought that Takayanagi Ichiro had bullied Kasugano Sora, so he wanted to stand up and protect his sister.

But looking at Kasugano Sora crying her eyes out in Takayanagi Ichiro's arms now, it's definitely not the kind of reaction that comes from being bullied.

There must be something else that happened in this family that caused Kasugano Sora's emotional breakdown.

Grandpa is gone!

Kasugano Sora gave her answer in Takayanagi Ichiro's arms, causing Kasugano Yuu's body to sway a few times. She finally regained her balance with the help of Yorihime Nao.

"What……"

I never imagined that something like this would happen just because I didn't go home for one night.

"grandfather……"

Unable to persuade Kasugano Yu to come, he hurriedly ran towards Dr. Kasugano's room, while Takayanagi Ichiro followed with Kasugano Sora.

Nao Yorihime didn't treat herself like an outsider; she followed her upstairs.

They were a little slower, and when they arrived at Dr. Kasugano's room, they heard Kasugano Yu's desperate cries, which were clearly confirmation of what Kasugano Sora had said.

Kasugano Yu is now kneeling by the bed, trying to shake Dr. Kasugano up, but without success.

"Xiaoyou, your grandfather left with a smile, so don't let him suffer anymore."

Upon hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words, Kasugano Sora and Kasugano Haruka stopped crying and looked at Dr. Kasugano.

Dr. Kasugano's eyes are now closed, and he has no breath left, proving that he has gone to paradise.

Dr. Kasugano did not show any pain on his face; on the contrary, he left with a smile.

"You, you are now the only man in this family, so you must cheer up."

After taking care of Dr. Kasugano's funeral arrangements, life must go on.

The reason why Ichiro Takayanagi said these things to Haruka Kasugano was entirely because of Sora Kasugano. If he didn't have a deep relationship with them, he would just be a stranger.

Hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words, Kasugano Haruka was completely bewildered; he had never considered such a thing before.

"Yosuga Nao, you must be quite familiar with the neighbors, so I'm asking you to go and inform them about this."

I'll call Ifukube Yashiro and ask Amatsume Ei not to go to school today, but to come and help out here.

If you think the police should be called in to examine the evidence, I can help you notify them.

"no need."

Kasugano Sora spoke at this moment, already convinced that Dr. Kasugano had died of natural causes, and that he had simply reached the point of exhaustion, so there was no need for the police to come and check on him.

Yorihime Nao glanced at Kasugano Haruka, who was still crying loudly. She didn't object, but simply said she would ask the neighbors for help.

After Yorihime Nao left, Takayanagi Ichiroko called Ifukube Yashiro.

After being informed of what had happened, Ifukube Yashiro was also terrified, never expecting that Dr. Kasugano would die last night.

After learning of Takayanagi Ichiro's request, he immediately promised to bring Amatsume Ei over soon.

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

When Ifukube Yashiro brought Amatsume Akira to the hospital, they found it already crowded with people, each doing their own thing.

"Mr. Gao Liu..."

Ifukube Yashiro greeted Amatsume Akira, and then noticed that Kasugano Sora was following Takayanagi Ichiro.

Kasugano Sora has changed into a black school uniform, which makes her look even more sickly, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

"Yashiro-nee, Amatsume-kun."

"You take Tiannv Muying and get things done. I'll wait here for the others to arrive."

Takayanagi Ichiro gave instructions to Ifukube Yashiro and Amatsume Ei, who were certainly more familiar with the situation here.

"Ok."

Ifukube Yashiro and Amamiya Akira went about their own business, and then they heard the sound of a car at the hospital entrance. It must be the person Takayanagi Ichiro was waiting for.

Takayanagi Ichiro originally wanted to go alone, but Kasugano Sora followed closely behind him, and the two of them slowly walked towards the hospital entrance.

The person who arrived at this time was Naoto Nagisa, the councilor of this small town.

Accompanying her were uniformed police officers, clearly sent by Nao Yorihime.

Kasugano Sora was furious when she saw the police officers and wanted to turn around and cause trouble for Yorihime Nao, but was stopped by Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Congressman Nagisa".

"Mr. Takayanagi."

Naoto Nagisa greeted Ichiro Takayanagi first, and then began to comfort Sora Kasugano.

Naoto Nagisa certainly had an impression of Dr. Kasugano's grandson and granddaughter.

"Mr. Takayanagi, these two are police officers in the town. When they encounter such a death, they naturally need to step in."

But don't worry, they definitely won't cause any trouble; it's just a formality.

Naoto Nagisa didn't intend to introduce the two police officers' identities, because he didn't want them to be targeted by Ichiro Takayanagi.

"This is the proper procedure, and Qiong won't have any objections."

Dr. Kasugano died of natural causes, so there were no unexpected events.

The fact that Ichiro Takayanagi was able to so readily allow the police officers to conduct the inspection relieved Naoto Nagisa.

When Naoto Nagisa received the news of Dr. Kasugano's death, and learned that Ichiro Takayanagi was staying in Dr. Kasugano's hospital, his heart pounded wildly for a long time before he calmed down.

In retrospect, Dr. Kasugano's death appears to have been a natural one, and has nothing to do with Ichiro Takayanagi.

This is for the best, because Dr. Kasugano is incredibly popular in this small town.

If people really believe that Dr. Kasugano's death is related to the outsider Ichiro Takayanagi, it could very well lead to a violent conflict.

The neighbors who came to help at the hospital breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ichiro Takayanagi and Naoto Nagisa talking.

Since Naoto Nagisa basically represents the consciousness of this town, and since Naoto Nagisa has no ill intentions towards Ichiro Takayanagi, it means that Ichiro Takayanagi, this outsider, is someone they can temporarily trust.

The police officers went to do their own thing, while Ichiro Takayanagi took Naoto Nagisa to another place.

“Congressman Nagisa, this is the suicide note we found in Dr. Kasugano’s room, and there is a copy for you.”

Chapter 474 A Minimalist Funeral

After receiving the suicide note from Ichiro Takayanagi, Representative Nagisa did not open it immediately. Instead, he asked Ichiro Takayanagi:

"Mr. Takayanagi, how many such suicide notes are there in total?"

There are three portions in total: one for you, one for me, and one for his grandson.

I've opened and read my suicide note; it's basically all the things he'd said to me before.

As for Representative Nagisa's suicide note and Kasugano Yu's suicide note, I have not opened them to read.

Now I'm giving you your will, and after everything is over, I'll give you Kasugano Haruka's will.

After hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's explanation, Representative Nagisa nodded. He believed that Takayanagi Ichiro would never do something like peeking at the contents of a suicide note.

Furthermore, the fact that Takayanagi Ichiro, an outsider, was able to obtain Dr. Kasugano's will demonstrates that Takayanagi Ichiro had fully gained Dr. Kasugano's approval.

Since this was Dr. Kasugano's suicide note, Representative Nagisa did not wait until he left the area to open it and read it.

Right at that moment, he opened the suicide note, picked it up, and his expression kept changing.

In his suicide note, Dr. Kasugano described his condition, confirming that he was indeed at the end of his life.

He then recounted a series of advice he gave to Councilor Nagisa, urging him not to further restrict the aspirations of children who longed for life in big cities.

He also hopes that Representative Nagisa will pass on his situation to the neighbors who are helping him, since Ichiro Takayanagi is an outsider.

Even if she gains Dr. Kasugano's trust, she cannot gain the trust of all the townspeople.

However, if Representative Nagisa were to announce the news about Dr. Kasugano, he would surely gain the trust of all the residents.

Dr. Kasugano is quite respected here, and the residents of this small town know very well how he treats outsiders.

"Mr. Takayanagi, I will help Dr. Kasugano with some things according to his wishes. May I ask what the contents of your will are?"

"Dr. Kasugano had asked me to take care of his grandson and granddaughter, but now it's written in his will."
