My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Takayanagi Ichiro is referring to the time spent taking care of the child; he would definitely need to spend the rest of his time on other things.

Since Ichiro Takayanagi had said so, Etsumiko Amamiya did not press the matter further.

"Yuemiko, after you're done tidying up, could you come to my room and help me tidy up a bit more?"

The last time Takayanagi Ichiro and Amamiya Etsumiko interacted was at Ifukube Yashiro's house.

After that, Dr. Kasugano's death occurred, so they stopped communicating.

Amamiya Etsumiko's actions in this charity event were quite commendable, so she deserves some reward.

Amamiya Etsuko, of course, understood what Kasugano Sora meant, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Yes, I'll help you tidy up."

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

"Ying, we should have a serious talk."

At school, Akira Amane and Ichiyo Nagisa ate lunch together.

Nagisa Ichiyo did not go home last night, but her father was not worried because security forces were protecting Amatsume Akira and Nagisa Ichiyo.

Although Nagisa Ichiyo didn't leave home directly today, her lunchbox was still delivered by her personal maid, so Amatsume Akira and Nagisa Ichiyo were able to enjoy a sumptuous lunch.

After dinner, Nagisa Ichiyo wanted to have a good talk with Amatsume Akira, which puzzled Amatsume Akira a bit.

"Ichiyo, what do you want to talk to me about? Do you perhaps intend to spend the night with me at the shrine tonight?"

Last night, Nagisa Ichiyo and Amatsume Akira spent the night at the shrine. Amatsume Akira had a private room.

After the last incident involving a five million yen ransom, that room should have been taken back by the Amami family.

However, Nagisa Ichiyo was also present yesterday, so the Amatsume family couldn't stop them.

If Nagisa Ichiyo still wanted to stay there today, Amatsume Ei wouldn't have much of a problem, but she thought she should go back to Ifukube Yashiro's place.

She's going to be living with Ifukube Yashiro from now on, and not coming home one night yesterday is already a bad thing.

"What are you talking about? Tell me what's really going on between you and Mr. Takayanagi."

Nagisa Ichiyo is slightly taller than Amatsume Ei, and given her questioning tone, Nagisa Ichiyo seems more like the older sister.

"Yiye, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all."

After all, Emi no Megumi was once a shrine maiden and had interacted with quite a few people.

Although she was a little flustered inside, she remained outwardly calm, as if she were denying what Nagisa Ichiyo had said.

"If I hadn't been with you last night, you might have fooled me with all of this."

"So, even though we were together last night, what's your problem?"

“Last night you hugged me very tightly and even tried to kiss me on the face. In the end, you even called me Brother Gao Liu.”

"I'm not stupid. Of course I know that something must have happened between you and Mr. Gao Liu, that outsider. We should talk about it."

As soon as Nagisa Ichiyo finished speaking, Tenjo Megure blushed immediately. She hadn't expected that Nagisa Ichiyo would do these things to her while she was asleep. No wonder Nagisa Ichiyo was so suspicious.

"That doesn't prove anything, after all, Mr. Takayanagi is a very handsome man..."

Emi Akira was about to defend herself, but was immediately interrupted by Nagisa Ichiyo.

She had no intention of listening to Amamiya's explanation and immediately pulled Amamiya closer to herself.

“Ei, I have more evidence to prove that you and Mr. Takayanagi definitely had something beyond friendship.”

Chapter 493 Ying, let me join!

Emi no Miyako was surprised that Nagisa Ichiyo would say such a thing, and she immediately fell silent.

The only sounds present were their breathing and heartbeats, seemingly in sync.

The main reason is that Nagisa Ichiyo revealed the truth, and she didn't expect that she would unintentionally reveal some information.

"Yiye, if this happened to me, how could you know?"

Emi Tengnü gave a dry laugh, still unwilling to admit what had happened to her, because Nagisa Ichiyo had no evidence whatsoever.

"Ying, I think you've probably noticed that there's something in common between us."

I've had this feeling since I was very young, but I don't know why.

But ever since I met you at the shrine, I knew there would definitely be a deeper connection between us.

As I expected, what happened next was exactly what you encountered; you experienced both happy and unhappy things.

I had a vague feeling about it, and when I asked you about it afterwards, it all matched up.”

After hearing what Nagisa Ichiyo said, Tenjo Megumi's expression finally changed.

She tried to break free from Nagisa Ichiyo's grasp, but failed.

"Yiye, why are you talking in such a mysterious way? You've never told me about this before."

"Yes, I used to keep things from you because I was worried that telling you would put too much pressure on you, which was not the result I wanted."

But a few days ago, I did have a different feeling; I knew you were in a very pleasant mood.

But Dr. Kasugano's funeral has just ended, so there's only one reason that could have changed you: your relationship with Mr. Takayanagi has reached a new level.

In this matter, Nagisa Ichiyo acted like a famous detective, which made Amatsume Akira stop resisting.

"Yiye, I'm starting to doubt if you're even yourself. How can you be so smart?"

Good heavens, Nagisa Ichiyo knew her guess was correct.

Instead, she took the initiative to loosen her grip and no longer restrained Amamiya.

"Ying, why is this?"

Mr. Gao Liu has only been here for about a week, how come you've developed so quickly, even faster than in TV dramas?

Besides, you don't know Mr. Takayanagi very well. What if he's just deceiving you with his body...?

“Ei, Mr. Takayanagi is definitely not that kind of person.”

If Nagisa Ichiyo was only criticizing herself, then Amatsume Ei had no objections, since she had indeed done some rather outrageous things.

However, when she heard that Nagisa Ichiyo was going to slander Takayanagi Ichiro, Amamiya Akira immediately refuted her and began to defend Takayanagi Ichiro.

Amane Akira's reaction greatly surprised Nagisa Ichiyo; she hadn't expected Amane Akira's feelings for Takayanagi Ichiro to be so deep.

He reached out and touched Tennyome Eir's forehead to see if she had a fever, but her temperature was normal.

"Ai, you are a shrine maiden. Could it be that you used some wicked methods on yourself to become like this?"

Tenjou-me-ei rolled her eyes at Nagisa Ichiyo and said irritably:

"Yiye, your family is a member of parliament, how can you say such a thing?"

Although our town is wary of the outside world, we live in a scientific age, and we simply don't have the kind of methods you're thinking of.

My relationship with Mr. Takayanagi is developing normally, so you don't need to worry about me being deceived or anything like that.

Since Nagisa Ichiyo had already guessed the truth, Amatsume Akira admitted it and stopped hiding it.

"Why? Is it because that kind of thing is wonderful?" Nagisa Ichiyo asked this question with a very strange expression on her face.

Why would you ask that?

Unlike Nagisa Ichiyo, Amatsume Ei's face immediately turned red, clearly as she began to savor that wonderful moment.

She hadn't had any physical contact with Takayanagi Ichiro since then, but she would never forget that wonderful experience.

But how could Nagisa Ichiyo ask that question? She hadn't actually seen the fusion happen.

Seeing the change in Tennyo-me-ei's expression, Nagisa Ichiyo knew that her feeling was correct.

"Ying, as I just mentioned, there is a rather special connection between you and me."

I can sense, to some extent, what has happened to you.

A few days ago, I felt something was wrong with my body, something must have happened to you.

Based on what you just said, I've concluded that it must have been that event that accelerated your change.

So what does that kind of feeling really feel like? I don't have a very deep understanding of it.

Nagisa Ichiyo was very serious when she asked this question, so Amatsume Ei had no intention of being perfunctory.

"Ying, it's not easy for me to explain that kind of thing to you."

If you really want to have that experience, I suggest you get a boyfriend at school.

However, given your family's circumstances, it's definitely very difficult for you to realize this dream.

Nagisa Ichiyo knew that what Amamiya Ei said was true, after all, their family was quite special in this small town.

She was praised by many students and teachers at school, and there were not many people who could have an equal dialogue with her.

"Ei, could you let Mr. Takayanagi help me experience it?" Nagisa Ichiyo suddenly made this suggestion, leaving Amatsume Ei speechless.

What does this mean? Are you planning to steal his man?

"Yiye, what are you saying?"

"Mr. Gao Liu is an outsider and he won't be intimidated by the family pressure I have behind me."

Furthermore, I believe that Mr. Takayanagi's identity is somewhat extraordinary, because he was able to have a dialogue with my father on an equal footing, which would have been absolutely impossible in the past.

My main goal is to figure out exactly why there's a connection between us.

In the past, when you encountered happy or sad things, they didn't really affect me much; they just had a subtle impact.

But what happened a few days ago really affected me. If I got involved, I might be able to uncover some of the truth.

Ying, I know you probably don't want to pursue your own identity anymore.

But even the slightest clue is something I'm willing to work towards.

Nagisa Ichiyo explained why she made that suggestion: it was entirely for the sake of Amatsume Ei's identity.

After hearing Nagisa Ichiyo's words, Amamiya Akira fell silent, clearly considering whether or not to continue pursuing her own identity.
