If Hagami Taku doesn't change his mind, it will not only affect Kamijou Hino's mood, but also her pursuit over the past few years.

......

Are you two here to experience a traditional wedding?

The two, Hagami and Takumi, arrived at the wedding experience venue, where several shrine maidens were entertaining tourists who had also come to experience weddings.

"Um, can you tell us what to do next?" Yu Gongtuo looked around and then asked.

"Please come over here to measure your clothing sizes."

The welcoming shrine maiden guided them to measure their clothing sizes, a necessary step as experiencing a wedding requires changing into traditional Japanese wedding attire.

After taking their measurements, the shrine maiden brought out two sets of wedding attire and asked the two to go to the dressing room to change.

Traditional Japanese groom's attire is not particularly elaborate; it's simply the kimono that can be seen everywhere. The one Hanomiya Taku is wearing is the first formal attire for Japanese men—a crested haori hakama.

The black-clad man wears a black haori over his outer garment and brown hakama on his lower body. This is the basic and most common combination of crested haori and hakama. I had seen someone wear it before when attending a relative's wedding.

As Hagami Taku walked out of the locker room, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.

His appearance was already outstanding among men, and now, dressed in this eye-catching suit, he became the focus of the entire event.

Even the shrine maiden who was serving him couldn't help but praise him highly.

Hanamichi Taku didn't react to this, because he knew that being the center of attention was only temporary. Once Kamijou Hino came out of the locker room, he would immediately fade into obscurity.

Chapter 46 The Unromantic Hanamichi Taku

About ten minutes later, Hino Kamijou came out of the locker room.

Traditional Japanese grooms don't have many rules about their attire, but brides' dresses are quite different.

The white kimono with its embroidered patterns was incredibly vibrant, with the hem trailing on the ground. Unlike Takumi Hagiya, Hino Kamijou wore a bridal headdress, and even her face was covered in makeup.

Her every step exuded ultimate elegance, like an ancient royal princess, full of charm.

Yu Gongtaku stood there stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Just as he expected, the moment Kyoujo Hino walked out of the locker room, he, who had been the center of attention, instantly became overshadowed.

If his appearance is considered outstanding among men, then Hino Kamijou's appearance is truly exceptional among women.

No matter who it is, even Moriyama Omi's looks are far inferior to Kamijou Hino's, at least that's what Hagiya Taku thinks.

"Sir," suddenly, the dazed Yu Gongtaku was awakened by the shrine maiden beside him, "hurry up and help the bride."

Realizing what was happening, Yu Gongtaku quickly stepped forward and extended an arm for Kamijou Hino to hold onto in order to maintain her balance.

This action brought the two very close together. With just a slight movement of his nose, Yu Gongtuo could smell a unique fragrance, a fragrance unique to women, which would intoxicate any man.

Many tourists around looked on with envy. Both men and women longed for the same way they and their partners could be.

"Brother," at that moment, Hino Kamijou turned her head and whispered to Taku Hagami, "Am I pretty?"

After saying that, she chuckled, which made Yu Gongtuo momentarily think, "Actually, German orthopedics isn't bad either."

"It would be better if you weren't related to me by blood," Yu Gongtaku replied.

This was his true thought at that moment. Whether it was her appearance or her temperament, Kamijo Hino was perfect. Even if pursuing her risked being thrown into Tokyo Bay, Hagiya Taku would still rush forward without hesitation.

Of course, this is on the premise that the two of them are not related by blood.

"Brother, you really have no sense of romance."

Upon hearing Taku's answer, Hino Kamijou immediately puffed out her cheeks.

"That also depends on who the object of your affections is."

While the two were talking, they didn't notice that a tourist in the crowd quietly took out his phone and took a picture of them.

......

Meanwhile, outside Meiji Shrine, in the container truck where Shinhoku Tsunekawa and Chiyo Suzuki were.

Inside the container were several people in police uniforms, and several young men lying unconscious on the ground.

Those were the people who had been defeated by Hagiya Taku earlier, and the police officers who took them away were also specially arranged by the Kamijou family.

"There should still be members of the Makino family at Meiji Shrine. We need to be careful and make sure that the young lady and the others don't get hurt."

As Suzuki Chiyo analyzed the current situation, she received a photo on her phone. The person who sent the photo was a bodyguard that the Kamijou family had placed among the tourists.

She initially thought the Makino family had made some new move, but when Suzuki Chiyo opened the photo, she was stunned by its contents.

"This...this..."

In the photo, Kino Kamijou, dressed in a wedding gown, is holding Taku Hagiya's arm, looking very much like a loving couple.

Chiyo Suzuki stared in disbelief. How long had she been gone, and the two of them had already held a wedding at Meiji Shrine? What incredible efficiency!

"No, I have to tell the head of the family right away."

Without the slightest hesitation, Chiyo Suzuki dialed the number of Hino Kamijou's father.

......

Kyoto city.

Inside a magnificent mansion, a middle-aged man stares at a photo sent to his phone, lost in thought.

In the photo, a stunningly beautiful young woman is holding the arm of a handsome young man. The two are dressed in formal attire and are having a wedding somewhere.

The girl in the photo is the daughter of this middle-aged man, Kamijo Hino, while he is the head of the most famous wealthy merchant family in Kyoto, Kamijo Seiichiro.

"I didn't expect their development to be so rapid..." Kamijou Seiichiro mused.

Kamijo Hino has expressed her feelings for Hanomiya Taku more than once. As her father and also as Hanomiya Taku's uncle, he actually does not oppose this marriage.

Kamijo Nono is the only daughter of the Kamijo family; Kamijo Seiichiro has no other children.

Nineteen years ago, Kamijo Seiichiro's son passed away due to illness, an event that became a lifelong source of pain for the couple.

Three years later, Hino Kamijou was born. Her arrival gave the couple renewed hope, and for the next sixteen years, they focused on Hino Kamijou's growth and never thought about having another child.

Generally speaking, the position of head of a family should be inherited by a male. For the past hundred years, the Kamijou family has maintained this tradition. However, in this generation, there is only one man in the Kamijou family.

By the time the couple realized what was happening, Kino's mother had already lost the ability to conceive.

Therefore, in order to ensure the proper continuation of the Kamijou family bloodline, Kamijou Seiichiro has been trying every means to find a suitable successor to the position of head of the Kamijou family.

This person needs to gain the approval of Hino Kamijou, and Hino Kamijou must be willing to be with him. After thinking it over, it seems that only Taku Hagami meets the requirements.

Five years ago, Taku's parents died in a car accident. Since he was only eleven years old at the time, there was an urgent need to find a new legal guardian.

As Hagiya Taku's maternal uncle, Kamijou Seiichiro naturally took this position.

He had thought that Takumi Hagami's appearance would give him a headache, but soon, Seiichiro Kamijou discovered that his nephew was surprisingly not a troublemaker.

Not only does he not cause any trouble for others, but Yu Gongtuo is also very obedient and well-behaved, which is heartbreaking. He doesn't seem like a child who is only eleven years old.

Therefore, Kamijo Seiichiro began to observe Hanomiya Taku and gradually selected him as a candidate to inherit the Kamijo family fortune.

As his daughter, Hino Kamijou naturally understands her father's thoughts, and she doesn't feel jealous because her father values ​​other people's children.

She hoped that Yu Gongtaku could accompany her for life, so the father and daughter shared the same goal.

Seiichiro Kamijou sent Hino Kamijou to Tokyo primarily to avoid the limelight caused by her recent actions against the young master of the Makino family, and secondarily to cooperate with the family in Tokyo.

The main purpose, however, was to establish a relationship with Takumi Hagami.

It would be best if Hino Kamijou could persuade Taku Hagami to be with her and voluntarily change her surname to Kamijou.

Judging from the current situation, the plan is progressing very smoothly, except... it seems to be going a little too smoothly.

Kamijo Seiichiro never expected that Hanomiya Taku and Kamijo Hino would hold their wedding so soon; at least he, as their father, should know.

"That child is really going too far. I must call and have a serious talk with her in a few days," Kamijou Seiichiro sighed softly.

It's said that a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; he didn't understand that before, but now he finally gets to understand what it means.

Chapter Forty-Seven: Auspicious and Inauspicious Signs

Tokyo, Shibuya, Meiji Shrine.

Inside Meiji Shrine, Taku Hagiya and Hino Kamijou are experiencing the various steps of a traditional wedding. The two of them are the center of attention wherever they go, attracting envious glances from passersby.

Hagami Taku didn't show too much excitement, while Kamijou Hino thoroughly enjoyed the feeling.

Although it only lasted an hour or two, before the wedding experiential activity ended, Yu Gongtaku belonged to her alone.

I wonder what Moriyama Omi would think if she saw this. Hagiya Taku was afraid of being discovered by her, so he checked the Future Diary before changing clothes and was finally relieved to make sure nothing would happen.

An hour and a half later, the wedding experience ended. Since it was a free event, the couple didn't spend a penny; even the photo taking and printing were free.

However, at the end of the event, Hino Kamijou asked to buy the dresses the two of them had worn, leaving the shrine maidens who had hosted them momentarily at a loss for words.

Until Hino Kamijou offered them a price they couldn't refuse.

Nozomi Kamijou is a capitalist. As a capitalist, she values ​​interpersonal relationships in the business world the most. Therefore, she pays great attention to monetary transactions but never tries to save money.

In her opinion, it's okay to spend money extravagantly because she has more money than she can spend.

In comparison, Yu Gongtaku is much more frugal. Rather than saying he's frugal, it's more accurate to say he has a reasonable concept of money. In short, he doesn't know how to save money, but he also doesn't spend it recklessly.

After leaving the Meiji Memorial Museum, Hanomiya Taku and Kamijou Hino continued their visit to Meiji Shrine. They still had many places to visit, and only a little over half of their allotted time had passed, so they didn't feel flustered by the tight schedule.

......

"Brother, you can draw lots here, do we want to take a look?"

As she passed by the windowsill of the main hall of Meiji Shrine, the fortune-telling container inside caught Kino Kamijou's attention.

Upon hearing the sound, Yu Gongtaku looked over and saw a shrine maiden smiling at him from behind the window.

At the same time, several pairs of eyes were cast from the crowd, sizing up the witch and observing whether she posed a threat to the two of them.

Speaking of drawing fortune slips, this is one of the main traditions of Japanese shrines. Basically, everyone who visits a shrine will come to the main hall to draw a fortune slip in order to check their recent fortune.

Because he was focused on the people in the crowd who were staring at him, Takumi Hagami forgot about it. If Nono Kamijou hadn't reminded him, the two of them probably would have missed drawing fortune slips.

"Since I've come all this way to the shrine, I'll draw a fortune slip."

Taku Hagiya is not a rigid person. When he was a child, he went to a shrine in Asakusa with his parents and drew a fortune stick there. The result was bad, and the shrine maiden warned him not to go out for the next few days.

But Yu Gongtuo refused to believe it, and the next day, as soon as he stepped out the door, a clump of bird droppings fell on his head.

Therefore, fortune-telling is a bit mysterious. Although it is a superstition, the various coincidences make you question its authenticity.
