"Huh? Milk? Is this what important people drink every day...?" Xiaotong's worldview was shaken: "Maybe Miss Hanon's uncle is an easy person to get along with?"

Kirito Takakaze is indeed an easy person to get along with. He has wandered for half his life, seen a lot, has a broad vision, and remains calm in the face of adversity. He can give up the position of chairman of the Kengan Association and plead with Kuroki for Rito, persuading him to take on a disciple. As long as he doesn't trigger his "parental complex" attribute because of Kanon, Kirito is a handsome uncle with a strong sense of chivalry!

After bringing Kotomi over, Butler Ito prepared to leave: "Miss Kotomi and my master can chat for now. I'll go wash Miss Kanon's clothes." Since these clothes were said to be Kanon's, they must be a bit dirty.

But before going to do the laundry, she had to check her pockets first. There was nothing in Hana's clothes, except for her pants pockets...

"Oh, here's a candy." The old butler took it out and placed it on Kiriji's table. Kiriji casually handed it to Hitomi: "Well, it's just a candy, Miss Mishima, please eat it."

"Okay, thank you!" Xiaotong was still nervous. How could she refuse a candy offered to her personally by such an important person?

So she ate the candy, and wow, it was quite sweet.

"Which school does Miss Mishima attend?" Kirito asked casually as he sat down opposite Hitomi.

"My name is Mishima Hitomi, a third-year junior high student at Watanabe Junior High School. I have excellent grades and am skilled in bartending, English, and sniping. I've held eighteen jobs and currently live in an apartment. I'm Ms. Hanane's secretary, mainly handling her business matters. I'm currently sitting in Ms. Hanane's home. The Takakaze family's mansion is huge! I'm worried I might let something slip. Ms. Hanane is a lesbian and a scumbag. Last night, she disguised herself as a man and went out with some yakuza members, not coming home all night. She sounded drunk when she called. I'm panicking right now. I don't even know why I'm saying so much. I was determined not to say anything..."

"Hey, this..." Kirito was shocked. How could Kanon's secretary be so long-winded from the start? And there were even some shocking revelations in her words, like "dressing up as a man and hanging out with gangsters until the night was over"...

Xiaotong herself realized that something was wrong, but she just couldn't control her mouth. It was as if every cell in her body was jumping around, and she had to respond honestly no matter what others said!

"Could it be that candy?" Something was definitely amiss, and both Qieji and Xiaotong thought of that candy.

Actually, those weren't candies at all. They were truth serums that Dr. Eiichi had given to Kanon for interrogating the female ninja Shino, albeit in pill form. Kanon hadn't been able to use them on Shino last time, so she'd been carrying them around as a little tool ever since…

An hour later, the old butler Ito saw Kotomi off with a strange look on his face, then returned to ask Kirito, "Master, what did you and Miss Mishima talk about? She seemed to have been crying."

"Sigh..." Kiri turned around, startling the old butler, because Kiri also had two tear tracks on his face!

However, Hitomi cried because she revealed everything she knew about Kanon and felt deeply ashamed of her failure as a secretary. As for Chiji's tears, it was because her parental instincts kicked in.

"Kane has gone astray #@*……)#"

Like a child in his fifties, Qieji recounted the information he had just received from Xiaotong to the old housekeeper who had taken care of him since childhood.

“Hmm… Master, I think we should observe this matter further.” After listening to Kiriji’s account, Ito pondered, “Miss Kanon has always been a good girl. There might be more to the story about her hanging out with the yakuza and staying out all night.”

"I know, I know." Kirito steadied himself. "The rest isn't too outrageous. I already knew about Kanon and Mieko's relationship. This girl has excellent business acumen; those business projects, while impressive, are acceptable and actually a good thing. The only issues are her cross-dressing and associating with the yakuza. I can assume the former is because she's been a lesbian for too long and is feeling repressed, wanting to express her personality and show herself. But associating with the yakuza, even staying out all night, that kind of thing..."

Kiri hesitated for a long time but couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh. In fact, with the strength of the Takakaze family, it wouldn't be a big deal for Kanon to associate with the underworld. What Kiri was worried about was that Kanon might have moral flaws or pick up some bad habits, which was something that no elder in the world wanted to see.

“Sir, I think there might be a misunderstanding in this matter. We should handle it carefully.” Butler Ito offered his advice: “Miss Mishima has only been Miss Kanon’s secretary for a week. There must be many things she doesn’t know.”

Kirito was able to listen to his fatherly butler. He paced around the study a few times, then slammed his hand on the table: "Alright, that's how it'll be! I've already told Mishima Hitomi that she absolutely mustn't tell Kanon what happened today. From now on, I'll use all my resources to keep an eye on Kanon and see what she's up to!"

"Sigh, I'd rather she was secretly going to a fighting competition," Cheji sighed.

Section 492, Chapter 486: Winds and Rains from All Directions Converge Here

"Hooray, our Royal Sakura Girls' Academy has started school too~" by Hibiki Sakura

"Spring is here, flowers are blooming, and people are full of energy! Let's go to the gym!" - By Akemi Souyuuin

“ypaaaaaa!” by Gina Porter

"Students are the best, youth is the best!" by Ayaka Uehara

……

"Ah, I still have so much work to do. If you want to go to the gym, you can go by yourselves... Hehe, being a student is so great. I'm busiest when school starts. In fact, I even have to go back to school to work overtime during spring break. I can't even do my favorite hobbies. Actually, I also need to release some stress..." Ahem, the above is just some rambling by Ms. Tachibana Satomi.

"Sorry for showing off here." The four schoolgirls slunk away.

Because of the opening ceremony, when the four female students from Royal Sakura Academy arrived at Mr. Silver's gym, it was still early, and the sun was still a little behind the horizon.

Coach Jie Xiong, as always, with his handsome face and muscular physique, walked over with a smile and asked, "You girls are very dedicated, coming to work out right after spring break~ Which part of your body do you want to work out in the new semester?"

Zhu Mei said, "I want to do exercises that can work out my whole body!"

Ayaka said, "I mainly want to train my back and wrists."

Gina said, "I need to work on my lower body."

"And what about Sakura-san?"

After a long silence, Shakura Hibiki finally roared with an expression as if it were the end of the world: "Abs!!!"

"Hey, I've been working out every day!" Hibiki was almost in despair. "With all the exercise I've done, my belly should be as big as a model's in a picture by now! Why is my belly bulging instead? Why? I do sit-ups every day!"

"Oh, no..." Coach Jie Xiong explained, "If you want to show off your abs, aerobic exercise to burn fat is the right way!"

"I see, then I'll go for a run!" Hibiki stepped onto the treadmill with great enthusiasm and began his journey of sweating profusely.

However, Akemi, who was standing next to Hibiki, found it a bit strange: "That's not right, Hibiki does aerobic exercise regularly, so she shouldn't be unable to lose weight..."

Just then, the gym's TV was broadcasting the news: "After the start of spring, schools across the country have successively held their opening ceremonies. Today, Wushi News interviewed the opening ceremony of Huangying Girls' Academy."

"Oh, this is our school."

Then, Zhu Mei saw that in the corner of the screen, a dark-skinned, blond-haired girl among the students—that is, Sha Cang Xiang—was happily eating snacks, and her snacks were... eight Frankfurt sausages.

"Boom! You're exploding with calories!"

At that moment, Zhu Mei no longer had any doubts about why Xiang couldn't lose weight.

"Oh, everyone's here?" Just then, someone called out from afar, "Speaking of which, today is the opening ceremony for Huangying School."

The girls looked up and saw that it was their friend, Hana.

"Wow, it's rare to see Kanon here so early~" Akemi greeted first: "I remember Deimon started school a few days earlier than us, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Hanon didn't deny it: "I took the day off today. I have some things to do tonight, so I came to the gym to warm up."

Zhu Mei nodded: "I understand~ Speaking of which..."

Kanon spent the whole day at the gym today, so she was dressed quite lightly. Akemi's beautiful eyes were glued to Kanon's exposed muscles, completely unable to look away, and she couldn't stop drooling: "Ah~ Kanon's muscles~ So amazing~"

"Hey, Zhu Mei's in her slut mode again," Ayaka casually remarked. But looking at Hanon's body, she was secretly astonished: "The muscle definition is amazing! Every muscle exudes power, and the ratio of muscle to fat is perfect, it's like a well-proportioned body... It's like a warrior about to go into battle!"

Before Ayaka could even savor the moment, Kanon had already finished her workout: "Um, I'm almost done, so I'll be going now. If my workout isn't too 'intense' tonight, I'll come back and play with everyone again tomorrow~"

Hanon wasn't sure either, after all, she had to attend something tonight...

It's an ultimate martial arts tournament that's said to be just as good as the Kengan Tournament's elimination matches!

After a quick shower, Kanon came downstairs feeling refreshed. A luxury car was waiting outside. The window rolled down, revealing Miho's profile, but before Miho could speak, another beautiful and distinctive face peeked out: "Hi~ Kanon, let's go cause some trouble!"

"Hey, Garuda, don't rush..." Miho quickly pushed Garuda back to her seat: "There's still plenty of time. Let's eat and put on makeup before going to Tokyo Dome!"

"Yes, Miho-neechan is right~"

"Hey, don't call me 'sister,' it makes it feel like the wife and the mistress!"

"Okay, Miho-neechan~"

"Hey--"

Kanon, Miho, and Garuda chatted and laughed, while Hitomi Mishima, sitting in the front passenger seat, thought to herself, "My boss is not only a lesbian, but also a two-timing scumbag lesbian... But as a disqualified secretary who betrayed her employer, I have no right to say anything, waaaaah..."

Xiaotong is still struggling with the fact that she accidentally revealed Kanon's secret a few days ago. Takakaze Kirito warned her not to reveal this to Kanon under any circumstances. Xiaotong is caught in the middle and has a hard time. All of this is too much pressure for a middle school student like her!

Especially after learning that Kanon was actually going to a fighting competition today, and was not some degenerate girl who was involved in the underworld and didn't come home at night, Hitomi felt even more guilty for speaking so harshly to her parents.

Emmm, actually, Hitomi didn't know, and neither did Hanon. Right after their car drove off, someone called the Takakaze family: "Mr. Takakaze, we have monitored the targets you requested. They first went to a self-service barbecue restaurant, and then drove straight to the Tokyo Dome. They have stopped the car now, and the group has entered the dome... Ah, you don't need to be so polite. Our military should thank you for your generous donation."

Tracking someone as skilled as Kanon is extremely difficult, so in order to monitor his niece's movements, Takakaze Kiriki directly paid a hefty sum to bribe high-ranking officials in the Self-Defense Forces and deploy spy satellites...

After hanging up the phone, Kirito, already dressed, snapped his fingers at the old butler: "Ito, let's go to Tokyo Dome!"

Even though it's a gathering place for all the winds and rains, Tokyo Dome is sure to be incredibly exciting tonight!

Author's Note: Tomorrow's chapter will begin with the epic battle at the giant dome. There will still be four updates tomorrow.

Section 493, Chapter 487: Joaquin, More Evil Than Baki

"Dad, the giant egg is burning..."

This is what the children playing in the plaza opposite Tokyo Dome said.

"It's so hot. Isn't the stadium air-conditioned? And there aren't any games tonight."

This is what a cleaning worker said inside Tokyo Dome.

"Baki! Baki!" "Doppo! Doppo!" "Let the match begin quickly!"

On the sixth basement level of Tokyo Dome, dozens of meters underground, in a mysterious and unpredictable arena, this is what the audience says.

The atmosphere at this massive fighting match was incredibly heated. All the spectators had been secretly invited by Tokugawa Mitsunari, and the crowd was diverse and included prominent figures from the political and business world, artists, actors, athletes, and seasoned fighting enthusiasts and martial artists. At this moment, everyone was in high spirits, the noise almost lifting the underground arena to the heavens!

The audience was already seated when the contestants finally arrived.

It's not that these martial artists are arrogant, but tonight's competition is not a performance; they are the main characters, not fighting to the death for the audience!

Athletes and gladiators may entertain the audience, but martial artists do not. A martial artist's duty is to be brave enough to draw his sword when the two sides meet on a narrow path, and to win the battle.

Although there are few who are always victorious in the world, every martial artist who comes here believes that he will be the strongest.

At this time, most of the contestants were standing in the lobby between the elevator and the arena, waiting for the emcee to guide them into the arena one by one.

"Hanada!" Kato Kiyosumi, a student of Shinshin-ryu karate and one of the competitors tonight, spotted his friend, another martial artist named Hanada Junichi, in the crowd: "Why are you so late?"

Hanada's dark face turned red again: "Oh dear, you don't know, I'm no longer a contestant. I came to the lobby specifically to cheer you on."

"What!" Kato had been focused on training and preparing for the battle recently, and was unaware of Hanada's situation. "Didn't Lord Tokugawa give you a spot? At that time, I was very glad that our duel could be held at the tournament."

Hanada shook his head: "The real expert who was supposed to be my substitute appeared. I fought him and lost."

"Wow, to defeat you, you really are a master. Who is that guy?" Kato, a hot-blooded and impulsive young man, immediately promised, "If I encounter this person at the tournament, I will avenge you!"
