Manga Born to Be King

　　When Nangong Xiao looked at the participating guests, she accidentally discovered that a girl dressed in strange clothes appeared among the people in the financial industry.Cosplay outfits with triangle hats and capes...that's Mea, who's trademarked it.

　　Rishi, dressed as a maid, followed her, holding the sign of "LYRICAL☆SISTERS".

　　"If you are interested in listening to my sister's cute speech, welcome to "LYRICAL☆SISTERS"~"

　　It looked like they were advertising a cafe.

　　"Should it be said that she is still the same, never forgetting to exert her businessman's spirit of being beaten to death..."

　　Wouldn't she want to extend her tentacles into the political and financial circles to expand the source of customers?He was both surprised and in awe.

　　After completing the registration procedures with Shiga-senpai, Nangong Xiao crossed the playground and went to the special memorial hall that was set up as the ceremony venue.

　　The Special Memorial Hall is a three-story building a short distance from the school building, and is a facility that is widely used when various events are held on campus.In addition to dances and recitals, celebrities are occasionally invited to give speeches here.

　　The special memorial hall is a grand hall with flat movable seats.Sunlight pours into the interior through the stained window glass, illuminating the large crystal chandeliers.

　　The hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people, was full, and Nangong Xiao and Xin Naizhi sat together in the student area in the middle of the seats.

　　Soon, with the school song played by the wind band, the ceremony of the [-]th anniversary of the founding of Shenliu Academy was unveiled in a solemn atmosphere.As soon as the principal took the stage, the flashlights of the journalists who came to collect material immediately flashed non-stop.I saw the news agency's president Xingu crowded in front of the reporters, and he aimed the camera at the podium in high spirits.

　　The voice of Aina, who was in the broadcast room of the memorial hall, came through the loudspeaker.

　　"I would like to invite the President of Shenliuyuan Academy to give an opening speech. 』

　　That tone was quite calm and steady, and she was like a different person in peacetime.He didn't seem to be particularly nervous, but he presided over the ceremony very dutifully.

　　"President Tiandao is very dignified and generous."

　　"Before the ceremony, she was so nervous that she was walking hand in hand. Rinka and I were worried at first. Maybe she is the type who can show her strength after the actual stage."

　　In the morning, a series of speeches from directors and guests, including the grandson of the founder, came to the stage to congratulate.Then came the introduction of the congratulatory message.Congratulatory messages with similar contents were sent out in succession, and Nangong Xiao almost couldn't help yawning.

　　The first half of the ceremony went quite smoothly, and after the noon break, the second half entered.The time for Chen Naizhi to speak on stage is getting closer and closer.

　　"Ah... I'm so nervous..."

　　In the lounge of the memorial hall, Shinanoe paced the room with her hands on her chest, looking restless.

　　"Uh, do you want to write the word 'person' on your palm to swallow it at this time? People, people, people..."

　　I saw that she had written several words for "person" on the palm of her hand and swallowed it in her stomach. It seemed strange in the eyes of outsiders.

　　Speakers in the lounge are playing the speech of the previous speaker.A student from a broadcasting company came to the stage. The content of the speech was the secrets of making independent programs. The speaker's witty words often made the audience in the auditorium burst into laughter.

　　"Wow, I can't speak as well as this person..."

　　"You can't compare yourself to others. Xin Naizhi, your goal is not to show your fluent side, but to show the kindness of parenting to the parents who worked so hard to pull you up, right?"

　　"Say, it's true."

　　Shinnoe nodded in agreement as if to change her mood.She picked up the speech on the table and stared intently.

　　The topic of the speech was "Family".

　　"I have to think I'm talking to Daddy and Mommy."

　　"Your parents must be very good people, Shinnoe. I feel this way every time I listen to your practice speech."

　　"No, no, they can't come here today because of work..."

　　Xin Naizhi waved his hands ashamed.

　　"Isn't it a very hateful person?"

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·???

　　"I didn't mean it that way. They are just ordinary people who can be seen everywhere - didn't you say it yourself, Xiao-san? It's just because ordinary people are valuable."

　　"I think so. So you have to let them know what you think. Don't be so formal, just say thank you candidly, and they will definitely feel it."

　　"Well! I'm going to do my best. I hope I can be with my current parents forever."

　　Xin Naizhi nodded, as if showing confidence.

　　Then she looked at Nangong Xiao's face and smiled.

　　"Hee hee. It's been a long time since we kissed."

　　"When the ceremony ends today, how about we two go to celebrate?"

　　"Just, just us... two?"

　　"Ah."

　　Xin Naizhi's face suddenly flushed slightly, and she nodded lightly in agreement.

　　"Sister Hezhen, are you almost ready?"

　　Rinka opened the door and walked in.

　　"Hmm, um. I'm a little nervous, but it's not a problem."

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

　　"Come on for the speech - this is the snack that President Tiandao entertains you."

　　Rinxiang handed out a bag of senbei.

　　"The word 'human', Senbei...?"

　　Xin Naizhi took out one of them and saw that the round senbei was branded with the word "human".

　　"The president said that after eating this senbei, she won't be nervous. She said that thanks to the help of the senbei, she was able to preside over the ceremony without being nervous."

　　"Uh……"

　　Xin Naizhi showed a complex expression of noncommittal, and bit down the senbei with a "boom".At this time, thunderous applause came from the hall, and the previous person on stage ended his speech.

　　"Finally, it's finally my turn..."

　　Shinobu immediately became nervous.

　　"Don't be afraid. Just think about your parents' faces when you take the stage."

　　"Well. I'm going to show my affection to Daddy and Mommy!"

　　So Shinnoe left the lounge and came to the side of the stage to stand by.Rinka stood beside her, helping to figure out the timing of the stage.

　　Nangongxiao peeked at the situation in the auditorium from the small window, which was densely packed with hundreds of people.And more than half of them were VIPs in suits or dresses.Guardians of students, school directors, political and financial circles, etc.

　　After moving his gaze to the student area, he accidentally found Ya's face.

　　"Next, Tsuru Shinnoe-san from Class A of the second year will give a speech on the stage.Tsuruzhen-san serves as a class committee member and is active..."

　　The voice of Aina, who presided over the ceremony, sounded in the hall.Seeing Rinxiang signaling, Xin Naizhi slowly walked onto the stage.Warm applause came from the audience like a wave, drowning Xin Naizhi on the stage.

　　After standing in front of the podium, Shinnoe put down the manuscript and spoke to the microphone.

　　"Hello, all guests.I, I'm from Class A of the second year, Tsuru Shinnoe.Today I want to talk to you about my family. 』

　　After the applause broke, the hall became silent.All the audience focused on the podium and listened carefully to what Xin Naizhi said.

　　So, Shinnoe started her speech..

Chapter 847

　　A few days later, a woman came to visit an apartment in the suburbs of a certain city.She wears thin-framed mirrors full of intellectual temperament and is dressed in a feminine office suit.With every step, the sound of high-heeled shoes rattling through the apartment corridors.

　　Risha Seti walked straight towards a certain room on the sixth floor of the apartment.After she stopped in front of the door, she rang the doorbell.After a while, the voice of the resident came from the indoor intercom.The resident is a woman.

　　"May I ask who is calling? 』

　　"I'm Setri from the Suzaku Group Japan branch. I called you earlier."

　　After a while, the sound of footsteps came from the room.The door that was locked with the door chain slowly opened a crack, and the occupant of the room showed his face from the crack of the door.[-]

　　The women in this room are older than they look in the photos.Not only do crow's feet appear at the end of the eyes, but the elasticity of the skin is also slightly loose.However, her beautiful long black hair made her look much younger than her actual age, unlike her forties.

　　"You are Ms. Mayuki Saragiya, right?"

　　"……Is there a problem?"

　　Although the voice is young, it has a sense of stability that matches his age.

　　"You should also know that the chairman of the company, Nangong Qingyun, passed away a year and a half ago. But later, a lawyer pointed out that there was a problem with the distribution of property, so an investigation must be launched. I'm sorry, I can ask you to be busy Do you have time to cooperate with the investigation?"

　　Seti made up an excuse at random.It doesn't matter whether the other party believes it or not, the point is just to have a reason to ask questions.

　　"This matter has nothing to do with me. Please come back, Miss."

　　Mayuki said with a wary expression.

　　"Crane is really a branch."

　　When Seti blurted out the name, Mayuki raised her eyebrows.

　　"Do you have an impression of this name?"

　　"I...I don't remember..."

　　Mayuki lowered her face with a slightly painful expression.

　　"You don't have to hide it. The purpose of my coming here today is to find Miss Xin Naizhi's mother. I have an honest attitude to deal with the bereaved family of Mr. Nangong Qingyun."

　　"I...not a bereaved family...I did know Mr. Qingyun before, but I didn't have that kind of relationship with him."

　　Mayuki shook her head from side to side, denying it.

　　"Is that so... Sure enough, I think this rumor is very strange."

　　Seti showed a sincere expression on his face.

　　"Sorry. Looks like our investigation went awry."

　　Then, Seri looked at Mayuki, pretending that she was just now surprised.

　　"By the way, Ms. Sugamiya, you really look alike to Miss Shinnoe."

　　Mayuki's body suddenly stiffened.

　　"Really...? I haven't seen my daughter for a long time, so I don't know."

　　"Aren't you going to meet her?"
