Hirasawa Yui ate her pastries silently, composed and without uttering a word.

Akiyama Mio looked at the boy who had pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her, and said softly:

"Kira-kun, how's the lyrics you mentioned coming along?"

Upon hearing this, Yoshikage Kira took out a notebook from his bag and handed it to Mio Akiyama.

"Huh?"

Akiyama Mio blinked. "What is this?"

"lyrics."

"Really?! So fast?"

Ritsu Tainaka exclaimed in surprise, flipped open her notebook, and immediately saw the song title written in large letters at the top:

"Cute くてごめん".

-----------------

On the rooftop, a girl in a black sailor uniform leaned against the railing, letting the breeze tousle her long purple hair, as if she were about to take flight.

Looking down at the bustling students, Senior Yuko asked softly:

"Have the transfer procedures been completed?"

Even though she didn't turn around, she seemed to be able to see the girl appearing behind her.

"Ah."

Mai Sakurajima stopped and nodded slightly.

"I am now a student at Shuchiin Academy."

Sakurajima Mai paused slightly, her expression somewhat complicated.

A month ago, she was just an ordinary high school girl who was kidnapped and taken to Shuchiin Academy to be offered as a sacrifice to the lake god. Little did she know that she would now become a student at Shuchiin Academy and serve as a shrine maiden for the god.

But compared to her, the person who is most panicked right now should be Shinomiya Hikari, right?

After all, it was Shinomiya Hiromitsu who sent people to kidnap her and prepare to sacrifice her.

Now that the Shinomiya family knows she is still alive, and has even become the 'Twilight' priestess, they will definitely try to make amends for what happened back then.

After all, becoming a shrine maiden is enough to prove that she has a close relationship with the new god, and is also connected to the 'Onmyoji' behind the god. The Shinomiya family even suspects that the 'Onmyoji' who broke into Shuchiin Academy and killed the lake god was there specifically to save her.

As for the details, Mai Sakurajima certainly wouldn't kindly explain them to the Shinomiya family.

Even if she doesn't intend to 'repay' the Shinomiya family for the time being, she still keeps this grudge in her heart.

What goes around comes around.

It's not that it is not reported, the time has not come.

The Shinomiya family certainly understands this principle, so they will definitely try to compensate her and make her pay the price for what happened back then.

Even if they only wanted to please the god she served, and the Onmyoji that god served, they had to fulfill all her requests.

Because the Shinomiya family has no access to either the gods or the Onmyoji who cultivate the gods.

Mai Sakurajima was the only channel of communication between the two parties.

Regardless of the price the Shinomiya family has to pay, they must first demonstrate their willingness to yield.

For example, punish Shinomiya Hikari, the culprit, by removing him from his position as chairman of Shuchiin Academy.

But now that they know she, the priestess, is a victim of the 'Lake God' incident, this price is far from enough. So the Shinomiya family is now discussing whether to strip Shinomiya Hikari of her inheritance rights.

For the conservative elders of the Shinomiya family, stripping Shinomiya Hikari of his inheritance rights is the best option at present, as this is the only way to repair the relationship between the Shinomiya family and the gods.

But Shinomiya Hiromitsu will certainly not give up easily, nor will his supporters.

There are essentially two ways to change the current situation.

Either admit your mistake decisively, or struggle desperately.

The former requires Shinomiya Hiromitsu to personally visit the deity and apologize to her in order to obtain leniency.

Shinomiya Hiromitsu didn't seem to think he had done anything wrong, so he didn't intend to admit it.

Even if he apologizes, Mai Sakurajima won't forgive him, because there's no reason why I have to forgive someone just because they apologize.

They were kidnapped for no reason and used as a sacrifice to the gods.

Now you expect to get her forgiveness with just an apology? There's no such thing as a free lunch!

Huang Guang also knew this.

So, he'll probably choose the latter, right?

Since the root cause of depriving him of his inheritance rights lies with the gods, wouldn't eliminating the gods solve everything?

As for how to kill the gods, isn't the solution right in front of us?

Of course, you should pay an Onmyoji (a powerful Taoist priest) to exorcise it!

Just like the lake god who was exorcised before.

"So, Shinomiya Yoko, what will you do?"

Senior Yuko murmured softly, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

Dark shadows loomed around her, like menacing tentacles.

Mai Sakurajima silently walked up to her, leaned against the railing, smoothed her wind-blown hair, and softly asked:

What are you planning to do?

She knew it wasn't Geng Xizi, but Ying Xizi.

But so what?

Anyway, she was just a shrine maiden, and these two were the people she had to serve.

She didn't care whose oracle it was; she only needed to obey.

Senior Yuko smiled radiantly:

"Of course we should kill him."

She couldn't take revenge on the Shinomiya family because she knew Kira Yoshikage wouldn't allow it, and he still needed to attend Shuchiin Academy.

The downfall of the Shinomiya family would disrupt his peaceful life.

However, it's fine to seek revenge on a single person, since Yoshikage Kira wouldn't bother with such trivial matters anyway.

And if you were to ask her who she hates the most, without a doubt it would be the person who presided over the sacrificial ceremony—

Unfortunately, the person who kidnapped her fifteen years ago and offered her as a sacrifice to the lake god was also Shinomiya Kōkō!

She doesn't care about the Shinomiya family anymore, no matter what.

However, Shinomiya Hiromitsu must die!

That's why she asked Mai Sakurajima to show up so she could handle the transfer procedures.

She was telling Shinomiya Hikari that there was no room for compromise between them.

If Shinomiya Huangguang becomes desperate and acts rashly, she will have a legitimate reason to kill him.

But the reverse.

If Shinomiya Huangguang really came to apologize, she really wouldn't know how to handle it.

Forgiveness is impossible, but killing is also difficult.

That's what it truly means to be caught in a dilemma.

-----------------

Inside the secret residence of the Shinomiya family in Setagaya Ward.

A tall, slender adult woman with long hair that covered her eyes crossed her legs and slightly raised her eyebrows:

"Two hundred billion? That's a very tempting offer, but I refuse."

Although she has only earned a mere 400 billion yuan in her career so far, and the other party offered 200 billion yuan, she still refused!

"why?"

On the sofa opposite her, a bald, middle-aged man in a kimono with a thick beard said with a gloomy face, "Money is not a problem, I can offer more!"

Mingming leaned back against the sofa:

“You’re right, money isn’t an issue, but I won’t take this job.”

She likes money, but she doesn't earn money in just any way.

The main fear is earning money but not having the life to enjoy it.

Huang Guang frowned deeply.

"Because of my stupid sister?"

He knew that Mingming was teaching Kaguya Shinomiya and Nagisa Kashiwagi how to use magic, but he didn't think that could be a reason for them to reject him.

He wasn't trying to kill Kaguya Shinomiya, so what's the necessary connection between the two?

Mingming chuckled softly:

"Of course not. My relationship with her isn't that good. I was just doing a job for money."

Huang Guang, the fourth palace official, said in a deep voice:

"Why is that? You have to give me a reason!"

Mingming asked with a playful expression:

"Actually, I'm more curious, why do you want to go against your own gods?"

"No comment."

Shinomiya Huangguang remained expressionless, his demeanor utterly indifferent.

He can't possibly say that if he doesn't get rid of her, he'll lose his right to inherit the Shinomiya family, can he?

"In that case, I shall take my leave."
