My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Kasugano Sora must have seen what he and Yorihime Nao did in the entrance hall, which made her disappointed in him, and then Takayanagi Ichiro took the opportunity to win her over.

“When you were on your way to school, you jumped into the sea and I rescued you. You said you wanted to go back to the hospital to rest.”

However, I didn't find you at home after school, so I guessed you were at Yoshihime Nao's house.

I was worried about her going to Yoshihime Nao's house alone, fearing she might clash with her, so I went with her.

“Nao’s house is surrounded by walls, and the doors are all locked. How did you see that?”

"At this point, there's no point in dwelling on these things."

People will know everything you've done, it's just a matter of when.

Your grandfather must have expressed his own opinion about your relationship with Yoshihime Nao in his will. I don't think he would have stopped you from being with Yoshihime Nao.

"How did you gain my grandfather's trust and entrust me and Sora to your care? Now Sora has been completely deceived by you." Kasugano Haruka's tone was full of resentment.

Although his grandfather said that the document expressed support for him and Yorihime Nao, Kasugano Yu now believes that he has lost the most important thing, and that he was conquered by Takayanagi Ichiro, an outsider.

"The key to getting along with others is to treat them with sincerity."

If you look into the details of my relationship with Dr. Kasugano, you'll definitely gain something from it.

But you've never focused on this home, or on anything related to it.

After your grandfather passed away, Yorihime Nao stayed by your side, which proves that you made the right choice.

Furthermore, your grandfather expressed his support for your relationship in his will, so there shouldn't be any obstacles in the town.

"I won't let Qiong go with you."

After hearing what Takayanagi Ichiro said, Kasugano Yu knew what he was up to—he definitely wanted to take Kasugano Sora away—so Kasugano Yu immediately refused.

"Haruka Kasugano, I took Kasugano Sora out here entirely for your own good."

I'm sure you're aware of the conflict between Kasugano Sora and Yorihime Nao.

If they really lived under the same roof, they would definitely grow to hate each other, and the house would never be peaceful.

If you think your grandfather would like this to happen, then I don't have much of a problem with that.

But remember, your grandfather just passed away two days ago. He might have found out why you weren't home all night. You'd better be filial.

Instead of using his status to pressure Kasugano Haruka, Takayanagi Ichiro found other reasons to persuade him, which led to Haruka Haruka's complete silence.

Kasugano Haruka did indeed have this thought in his mind: if he hadn't stayed at Yorihime Nao's house that day, but had instead returned to spend time with his grandfather, perhaps his grandfather wouldn't have died.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world. The past cannot be changed; all we can do is move towards the future.

There is a conflict between Haruka Kasugano and Nao Yorihime, and it's the kind of conflict that they don't even try to hide.

If they are forced to live together, it could very well become a situation where Kasugano Sora is either Yorihime Nao or Yorihime Nao is either either.

He had just reached the peak of adulthood with Yorihime Nao two days ago, so he must be reluctant to part with Yorihime Nao.

But on the other side was his younger sister, and he also harbored some dark thoughts, and he was equally reluctant to let Kasugano Sora leave him.

Chapter 478 The Shrine Maiden Doesn't Want to Go Outside

"My grandfather also gave me instructions in his will, asking me to take good care of Qiong."

"If Mr. Takayanagi wants to take poverty away from this town, I will absolutely not agree."

Even though Ichiro Takayanagi had already said all that, Haruka Kasugano still wanted to try to persuade Sora Kasugano to stay.

Because Kasugano Haruka has Dr. Kasugano's will, he can use it as a bargaining chip.

Unfortunately, Ichiro Takayanagi didn't give him that opportunity. Instead, he said to Haruka Kasugano:

“Xiaoyou, your grandfather said a lot to me before, including what he stopped you from doing that night.”

So I actually know what you're thinking.

However, I don't need to say it directly, just to avoid damaging your relationship as siblings.

You said you have your grandfather's will, but I also have a will left by you instructing me to take good care of you and your sister.

But leaving your sister in this small town, or even in this house, will definitely not end well for her, so I have no choice but to leave with her.

If you try to stop me, I will stop at nothing to fulfill my promise to your grandfather. I hope you understand that.

In fact, whether it was out of respect for Dr. Kasugano or for Kasugano Sora, Takayanagi Ichiro would not have resorted to any means to harm Kasugano Yu.

The main purpose was to threaten him like this so he wouldn't do anything foolish.

Takayanagi Ichiro has already said that he knows what Kasugano Haruka is thinking.

If you don't want the relationship between the siblings to completely break down, then you should put on the brakes at this point.

Having said all that, Kasugano Yu fell silent, because he didn't know how much of what Takayanagi Ichiro truly understood about him.

"Yu, why are you still here?"

Kasugano Sora had finished washing up and returned. Seeing her brother still standing at the kitchen door, she asked him in confusion.

Kasugano Sora had just had intimate contact with Takayanagi Ichiro, and it was even seen by Kasugano Yu, but Kasugano Sora was not flustered at all.

If Haruka Kasugano can do that kind of thing with Nao Yorihime, why can't Ichiro Takayanagi do the same thing?

Moreover, Ichiro Takayanagi treated her with sufficient respect and did not engage in any in-depth discussions or exchanges with her, although the intimate actions that were expected still took place.

Kasugano Sora didn't want Kasugano Haruka to cause trouble for Takayanagi Ichiro, since they were the only two people in the family with the surname Kasugano.

"I go first."

After hearing Kasugano Sora's words, Kasugano Haruka immediately turned and left.

He didn't give any response, it seems he still wants to consider it further.

"Brother Gao Liu, I heard what you and You were saying in the second half of the conversation. What was he thinking?"

Kasugano Sora entered the kitchen again, but instead of having a deep conversation with Takayanagi Ichiro, she asked him this question.

"He's just having some things he can't figure out right now; it's not a big problem."

Now that you've heard the rest of the conversation, you should understand that I'll be taking you with me when I leave this town. You shouldn't refuse, right?

I thought it would take a long time to persuade Kasugano Sora to agree, but to my surprise, she immediately nodded in agreement.

“I will go out with Takayanagi-nii. If Yorihime Nao were to live in this house, I would feel very uncomfortable and might even have a relapse.”

The fact that Yorihime Nao was able to stay here and help out when Dr. Kasugano passed away clearly indicates that Dr. Kasugano had already agreed to her relationship with Kasugano Haruka, which makes Kasugano Sora feel very awkward.

In the past, he and Yoshihime Nao couldn't stand each other. If they were to live under the same roof in the future, their relationship would definitely have problems.

Since that's the case, it would be better to choose to live in a big city with Takayanagi Ichiro, where there wouldn't be so many troubles.

"Okay, you'll be living with me then, Qiong. I'll make the arrangements. Let's have breakfast now."

"Okay."

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

While eating breakfast, Amamiya Akira also got up and finished washing up.

However, Kasugano Sora's gaze remained fixed on Amatsume Akira, making Amatsume Akira feel slightly uncomfortable.

"Qiong, is there something wrong with me?"

Amane Akira had already climbed the ladder to adulthood last night, but Kasugano Sora shouldn't have been able to see it so easily, unless Takayanagi Ichiro told Kasugano Sora.

However, judging from Takayanagi Ichiro's expression, he wasn't the type to talk nonsense like that.

Back in school, Kasugano Sora and Amamiya Akira weren't very close. In fact, Kasugano Sora didn't have a very good relationship with many of her classmates.

However, during the two days of Dr. Kasugano's funeral, Amamiya Akira was doing her job, which touched Kasugano Sora a little, so she was not so hostile to Amamiya Akira.

"I just feel that you are different from before, like you have matured or grown a lot."

Kasugano Sora directly voiced her doubts, causing Amatsume Ei's heart to skip a beat.

Kasugano Sora did indeed sense something, but she was unaware of the truth.

So, Tenjo-me Eiryo recounted what happened yesterday when she was coerced by the abbot's descendant. She then decided that she would no longer do the things that a shrine maiden does, and that she would focus on her studies and help Ifukube Yashiro with the confectionery shop.

Kasugano Sora already knew about this from Takayanagi Ichiro, but hearing it from the person involved still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

“Those people are completely unreasonable. The shrine will fall into their hands one day.”

"Tiannvme-kun, aren't you planning to leave this town?"

Kasugano Sora condemned the descendants of the host, while Kasugano Yu asked a question.

“I grew up in this small town, and most of the people I care about are in this town, so I definitely don’t yearn for the outside world.”

After saying this, Tenjou-me Eiryo glanced at Takayanagi Ichiro, her eyes filled with apology.

Last night's events unfolded naturally and naturally, but Emi no Akira had no intention of leaving the town with Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Sure enough, there are still many people in our small town who are willing to stay. The outside world isn't necessarily a wonderful place."

Chapter 479 The Shrine Maiden's Advance Request

Amane Ei was right. She had other people she cared about in this town, and Takayanagi Ichiro wasn't her everything.

Of course, since Ichiro Takayanagi was able to lead her up the ladder to adulthood, he must have held a special place in her heart.

But that wasn't enough for her to leave the people she cared about in this small town and go to the big city with Takayanagi Ichiro.

Kasugano Yusai didn't care who Amamiya Akira cared about; what he cared about was Amamiya Akira's unwillingness to leave the town.

He wanted to use this to persuade his sister not to leave with Takayanagi Ichiro, this outsider.

Unfortunately, Kasugano Sora didn't understand some of his thoughts, and instead focused her attention on Amatsume Akira.

Today, Akira Amane was in excellent condition. After answering my question about Haruka Kasugano, she subtly glanced at Ichiro Takayanagi, a small action that Kasugano Sora noticed.

In other words, something must have happened between Eiji Amane and Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Qiong, if we live in this town, everyone will choose to stand on our side."
