However, Suzuki Chiyo called him back at that moment, because the Kamijou family had contributed to the construction of the airport, so the Kamijou family car could drive directly inside to pick them up.

Hagami Taku was completely unaware of this, because when they left Kyoto, they clearly got off outside the airport, and they didn't expect that the Kamijou family's car could drive directly inside.

However, this is also good, as it can save more time. Yu Gongtaku does not intend to waste too much energy on this matter, so his plan is to finish it today and return to Tokyo.

Of course, if everything goes smoothly, it's hard to imagine what their fate would be if something unexpected happened along the way, given their extremely special status.

......

In the dimly lit ward, only the constant ticking of the medical equipment could be heard. There was no one there. No, to be precise, there was actually one person lying on the bed, namely the seriously ill Kamijou Seiichiro.

Outside the ward, the Kamijou family's bodyguards almost filled the entire corridor. After all, they are the head of the family, and no accidents can be allowed to happen at this time, so it is not a problem to handle things a bit exaggeratedly.

It wasn't until a few people appeared that the bodyguards, who had been crowding the entire corridor, made way for them. Those people were Takumi Hagiya and his group, who had flown from Tokyo to Kyoto.

The hospital wasn't far from the airport, so they arrived in just half an hour, much faster than expected. However, the real decision-making process was about to begin.

Led by Hino Kamijou, Taku Hagiya pushed open the door and entered the ward, accompanied by Omi Moriyama. Chiyo Suzuki stood outside the ward, becoming the leader of the group of bodyguards.

As Hino Kamijou turned on the light in the ward, the previously dim room instantly became bright.

Kamijo Seiichiro appeared before Hanomiya Taku, but unlike when he left Kyoto a few days ago, he looked haggard and needed medical equipment to even breathe.

It's hard to imagine how many medical catheters were inserted under those not-so-thick blankets.

"Uncle, I'm here." Yu Gongtuo was silent for a moment, then strode over to Kamijou Seiichiro's side.

Kamijo Seiichiro, who had already fallen into a coma, heard someone calling him and quickly opened his tightly closed eyes. However, his consciousness was already blurred, and he could not see clearly who was standing in front of his bed. He could only judge based on the voice of the person speaking.

"Is that Takumi...?"

"it's me."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Kamijo Seiichiro struggled to raise his hand to touch the other person, but his arm had only just been raised a little when he fell back onto the hospital bed due to exhaustion.

Seeing this tragic scene, even Moriyama Omi, an outsider, couldn't help but frown, let alone Kamijou Kino, Kamijou Seiichiro's biological daughter.

"Hino...I should have told you everything by now..."

Kamijo Seiichiro began to speak with difficulty.

"Yes, they told me everything."

Yu Gongtaku nodded.

"So what's your answer...?"

The main event is here. At this moment, everyone, including Seiichiro Kamijou lying on the hospital bed, Omi Moriyama and Hino Kamijou beside him, is extremely nervous. Only Taku Hagiya looks completely natural.

"I intend to inherit the Kamijou family and become the new head of the family."

When Taku Hagami gave his answer, Hino Kamijou, who had been on edge, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Moriyama Omi's expression remained unchanged, so it was impossible to know what she was thinking after hearing this answer.

“However,” however, Yu Gongtaku did not finish his sentence, but there was a second half to it, “I will change my surname to Kamijou, but only after I finish high school, and I will not marry Hino, much less do something as absurd as having a child with her.”

Chapter 158 Abandonment

Taku's voice echoed in the empty hospital room. His words pierced Kino's heart like a fine needle, causing her immense pain at that moment.

Kyoujou Hino's lips trembled slightly, as if she had something to say, but she hesitated and ultimately couldn't speak.

"is that so..."

Lying in his hospital bed, Kamijo Seiichiro was not surprised by what Hagiya Taku said, because he knew very well how stubborn his nephew was; once he made up his mind, he would never change it.

"What does Hino think?"

With difficulty, Seiichiro Kamijou turned his head to look at Hino Kamijou, who was standing not far away. Omi Moriyama was standing on the other side, and for some reason, the two seemed to be deliberately keeping their distance.

There was no joy on Moriyama Omi's face, because she knew from the beginning that Hagiya Taku would never lay a hand on Kamijou Hino.

Since it's something we already know, what's there to be happy about saying it now? Besides, in this atmosphere, if she shows any sign of happiness, she could be killed.

Therefore, she tried her best to control her expression, without letting her face change at all, and just quietly looked at Yu Gongtuo, as if the whole world in her eyes consisted only of him.

"I..." Faced with Seiichiro Kamijou's question, Hino Kamijou, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, "I don't care. It's his own choice, and I have no right to interfere."

She said she didn't care at first, but then said she had no right to interfere. It's clear that Hino Kamijou's mood has been seriously affected. If it weren't for the atmosphere, she probably would have burst into tears.

At that moment, the world in her eyes completely collapsed, turning into fragments that could not be restored to their original state even if pieced back together, unless the person who repaired it was Yu Gongtaku.

However, given the current situation, it is impossible for Takumi Hagami to repair this broken world, and for the sake of the Kamijou family, Hino Kamijou cannot act on emotion.

In any case, the person who inherits the position of head of the family must be Takumi Hagami. No one is more suitable for this position than him, not even Hino Kamijou.

As Yumiya Taku just said, he has half of the Kamijou family blood in his body, so even if he has children with other women, it will not affect the family lineage in the slightest.

"In that case... then it's settled."

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Kamijo Seiichiro was also very distressed, but he couldn't show it.

"Takumi, just as you said, after you finish high school, you will become the new head of the Kamijou family. Until then, all the affairs of the Kamijou family will be handled by my wife, Ayako Kamijou. I trust her, and please don't make things difficult for her in the future."

"After you passed away, my aunt became my only elder in this world, and I would never do anything to make things difficult for her." Yu Gongtuo placed his hand on his chest, making a vow gesture.

Seeing him like this, Kamijo Seiichiro finally felt relieved.

"You guys go ahead, let me have some peace and quiet. Lately, I keep thinking about things from the past... Sigh, they say old people get nostalgic, and it's true..."

Seiichiro Kamijou issued an order to expel several people, including Hino Kamijou.

The group didn't mince words, because Kamijo Seiichiro's fate was sealed. Letting him stay quietly and reminisce about his past life was, in a way, romantic.

"Miss, how is the situation?"

Outside the ward, Suzuki Chiyo, seeing the group come out, immediately went up to ask what was going on. She lowered her voice, not wanting to disturb Kamijou Seiichiro, who was inside the ward.

“My brother agreed to inherit the Kamijou family business,” Kamijou Hino said, pursing her lips as she answered Suzuki Chiyo’s question.

"Isn't that great?" Suzuki Chiyo, unaware of the specifics, became incredibly happy. In her view, Hagiya Taku's agreement to inherit the Kamijou family meant that he would marry Kamijou Hino.

“But he doesn’t plan to marry me; he just wants to live together as brother and sister for the rest of his life.”

It wasn't until Kamijo Hino said those words that Suzuki Chiyo's smile finally froze.

"What a joke..." She couldn't accept this fact for a moment. As the person who had been by Kōjō Hino's side the longest, how could she not know what the other was thinking?

But now, all her past efforts have come to naught, and there is no possibility for Hino Kamijou to make a comeback, which is truly incomprehensible.

Even though she was incredibly resentful, Suzuki Chiyo was helpless, because she was just a servant whose only job was to meet her master's every need and protect his safety, even if it meant sacrificing her life.

How could someone like her possibly get involved in the power struggles within her master's family? That would be a capital offense.

"Let's go back to Tokyo," Kamijo Hino said softly, which made Suzuki Chiyo, who had some words on the tip of her tongue, choose to shut up, because she knew that it was best not to disturb her at this time.

.......

After that, the group returned the way they came and got back to Tokyo before dark.

"Those guys shouldn't bother me anymore, right?" On the way back, Yu Gongtuo thought to himself. Now that he had chosen to inherit the Kamijou family, those guys sent by various families to monitor him should have disappeared, right?

After all, he has already made his choice, so surveillance is no longer useful. The only effective approach is to send someone to make direct contact with him and then try to win him over.

However, given Hagiya Taku's personality, it's unlikely he would meet with those guys, and Suzuki Chiyo probably wouldn't let them get close to Hagiya Taku either.

However... on the way back, Kamijo Hino remained silent, looking out at the street, lost in thought.

In contrast, Moriyama Omi appeared rather relaxed, though "relaxed" wouldn't be an accurate description; her demeanor simply seemed out of place in the oppressive atmosphere.

The four people in the car remained silent, and they didn't say a word even after they got home.

Since it was already afternoon, there was no point in going to school now, so Suzuki Chiyo took the three of them home. Even though she was a seasoned veteran, she wanted to escape this damned atmosphere as soon as possible.

After returning home, Hino Kamijou ran back to her room. She was probably going to have a good cry tonight. Takumi Hagami could already imagine her with tears streaming down her face, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He stuck to his principles, but broke his sister's heart. Perhaps that's how people are; when they desperately try to protect something, they always lose something else.

But this won't affect Yu Gongtaku's life, because he knows that no matter what happens, the sun will rise as usual tomorrow, and all he can do is maintain a good mood to greet each day.

As for other things, since we have already chosen to give them up, there is no need to pay attention to them anymore.

Chapter 159 Is it Yu Gongtaku or Kamijou Taku?

......

As usual, Takumi Hagiya woke up from his sleep in the early morning. Beside him was Omi Moriyama, who was still fast asleep and completely naked, covered with a blanket.

The battle last night was still very intense. If it weren't for having classes today, Moriyama Omi would have slept until noon at the earliest.

I dressed as usual and went for a morning run.

It's worth mentioning that since he decided to inherit the Kamijou family a few days ago, those guys who used to be watching him near the yard have disappeared, and in their place are guys who want to get close to him anytime, anywhere.

After Yu Gongtaku, those guys were definitely sent by various Japanese families to curry favor with him, but he ignored them all. Even if they took the initiative to talk to him, he would selectively ignore them.

Such behavior was extremely impolite, but Hanamichi Taku didn't seem to care at all, because he knew that given the Uejo family's status in Japan, it didn't matter if they did such an unreasonable thing.

Moreover, he is not yet the head of the Kamijou family; he is just an ordinary high school student, albeit with a somewhat special identity.

.....

"Hey, Taku." Upon arriving at school, the first person to greet Yu Gong Taku was still Hengchuan Xinbei, because Zuo Gong Ando was also there today, so he came over as well.

Yesterday and the day before were the weekend, so the three of them didn't have to come to school. Therefore, they hadn't spoken to each other directly like they had now.

The moment Hengchuan Xinbei leaned his head closer, Yu Gongtuo knew what he was going to say.

"Should I call you Taku or Head of the Kamijou Clan?"

Hengchuan Xinbei looked at Yu Gongtuo with a teasing look. This guy was really serious when he was serious, and really funny when he was funny. Yu Gongtuo was already used to it, so he was completely immune to it.

"Didn't you just say that?" Yu Gongtaku rolled his eyes at Hengchuan Xinbei, looking like he didn't want to talk to him.

"I really didn't expect this, Taku, that you would actually inherit the Kamijou family." Sanomiya Ando, ​​who was standing to the side, looked very surprised. He wasn't there when Tsunekawa Shinhoku and Hanomiya Taku were talking two days ago, so he didn't know the inside story of this matter.

"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, my position dictates that I can't refuse this request. Besides, isn't becoming a billionaire with assets of over 100 million a goal that everyone wants to achieve?"

Yumiya Taku said it in a joking tone, but everyone could see that he was actually somewhat resistant to inheriting the Kamijou family, since there was a hint of coercion in it.

“Never mind that,” Hengchuan Xinbei interrupted their conversation. “From today onwards, Atuo, your status is the same as ours, and you will inherit the family business the fastest. We will have to wait a long time.”

"Hahaha... Is this something to be happy about?" Yu Gongtaku's lips twitched slightly. He still hadn't figured out what to do after inheriting the Kamijou family.

"What I mean is, to celebrate Ataku's elevated status, let's have a long-awaited get-together tonight, the three of us!" Hengchuan Xinbei cheered, and Zuo Gong Ando, ​​who was next to him, probably used to him doing this, clapped along in good agreement.

Because classes hadn't started yet and the classroom was very noisy, no one noticed Hengchuan Xinbei's cheers. Otherwise, many people would probably be looking at them with strange eyes.
