The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

After all, if you work alone, the efficiency of plundering the origin of the world is still too low.

"Then it's settled. Leave the matters related to registering the company to me, and leave dealing with Princess Alice and the others to Shu Jun."

"Okay, I'll go talk to Princess Alice later."

Luo Shu did not refuse.

Little did she know that after hearing Luo Shu's answer, Kurumizaka Ruri became even more determined to maintain a close relationship with Luo Shu.

Mr. Shu, you probably don’t realize how terrifying your investment potential is.

Kurumizaka Ruri looked quietly at Luo Shu's handsome profile, but an irrepressible ambition grew in her heart.

As the only daughter of the Kurusaka family, her biggest dream before she met Luo Shu was to lead the Kurusaka family to become the leader of the cosmetics industry in Fuso.

However, the appearance of Luo Shu made her realize that her previous dream was too easy to achieve, so she couldn't help but grow a greater ambition in her heart -

That is to lead the Kurumizaka family to become the leader of the mysterious side of the future Fuso world, and even one of the main forces on the mysterious side of the future world.

More importantly, Kurumizaka Ruri realized from Luo Shu's calm reaction that he might have had actual contact with Princess Alice.

After all, Kurumizaka Ruri didn't think that ordinary people could easily get the contact information of a princess from an alien country like Princess Alice.

Luo Shu's calm answer just now was most likely based on exchanging contact information with Alice.

Well, I must discuss with Setsuna and Reina how to secure a place in Shu-kun's future family.

Chapter 27: Miyajima Sakura makes up her mind

Next, Kurumizaka Ruri did not continue the previous topic.

How to reach cooperation with the Elf Kingdom of Ymir where Princess Alice is located is a long-term business plan.

As long as Luo Shu does not object, this plan is very likely to succeed.

Therefore, she decisively changed the subject, "Well, thank you, Mr. Shu, for contacting Princess Alice."

"Liuli, how are you going to convince Miyajima-senpai later?"

"Just be honest. Do you still have to beat around the bush?"

"Will this work?" Luo Shu looked at the calm Kurumizaka Ruri, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. "The rumor plan is a strategy that hurts the enemy by a thousand and hurts yourself by eight hundred. Miyajima-senpai is currently a big shot at Seishin Academy, right? Will it affect her preparations for the University Alliance's Jade Dragon Cup?"

"You don't need to worry about this tree lord."

When Kurumizaka Ruri heard that Luo Shu always chose to think from Miyajima Sakura's perspective, her eyes flashed with deep joy. She held Luo Shu's arm tightly and said, "Miyajima-senpai is actually much stronger than you think."

"Okay then." Luo Shu didn't continue to persuade her. He just sighed helplessly and said, "I kind of regret giving you this idea."

"Shu Jun, please reduce the upward curve of your lips when you say this."

Seeing this, Kurumizaka Ruri rolled her eyes at him unhappily, then gently reached out her hand and twisted the soft flesh on his waist, "I get jealous sometimes too."

"Hiss..." Luo Shu gasped in an exaggerated breath, then smiled and took her hand into his own, clasping his fingers with hers. "My fault, my fault."

"Hmph~!"

Kurumizaka Ruri pretended to be angry and snorted coldly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise up.

The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the door of Class A of the second year of high school where Miyajima Sakura was.

"Ajin, you're here."

Kurumizaka Ruri saw a familiar figure at the door. She greeted him and then looked at Luo Shu beside her and said, "Shu Jun, this is the Jinjinjian Zhenli I mentioned before."

"Hello, Senior Jinjinjian." Luo Shu nodded politely to Jinjinjian Zhenli upon hearing this. "Nice to meet you. I'm Luo Shu from Class B, Grade 1."

"I know." When Jin Jin Jian Zhenli saw Luo Shu, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. After all, she had been in the fashion industry before, and she had seen handsome men with outstanding looks, but compared with Luo Shu, these so-called handsome men were a little pale in comparison in terms of temperament and appearance.

No wonder the young lady likes it so much.

"Is Miyajima-senpai here?" Kurumizaka Ruri naturally didn't want the atmosphere to be so awkward, so she naturally interrupted, "I have something to ask her."

"Yes." Jinjinjian Zhenli nodded, "Miss, please follow me."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Kurumizaka Ruri pulled Luo Shu and followed Jinjinmi Mari into the classroom of Class A, Grade 12.

"Ying, the young lady is looking for you."

After Jinjinmi Mari walked into the classroom, she quickly came to Miyajima Sakura's seat, knocked lightly on the table, and called out to Miyajima Sakura, who was taking a nap on the table, "Wake up."

"It's the truth." Miyajima Sakura stretched her body and sat up straight after hearing that. Then she rubbed her eyes and looked towards the classroom door. She found Kurumizaka Ruri and Luo Shu walking hand in hand. She was a little surprised, "Ruri, and Luo Shu, are you looking for me?"

"I have something I want to discuss with you, Senior." Kurumizaka Ruri went straight to the point. "If it's okay, can we go somewhere quieter to talk?"

"I understand." Miyajima Sakura heard this and did not ask any more questions. Instead, she silently smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes and combed her slightly messy hair. Then she followed Kurumizaka Ruri and Luo Shu and left the Class A classroom of Grade 12.

Jinjinjian Zhenli did not choose to follow, but silently stopped some classmates who wanted to follow out of curiosity.

"I'm sorry everyone, Miss and Sakura have some personal matters to discuss, so it's best if you don't get too curious."

Tsuzumi Mari's remarks caused many students in Class A of the second year of high school, who knew the relationship between the Miyajima family and the Kurumizaka family, to change their expressions.

These people quickly stopped some of the classmates who were unwilling to give in, and gave them some common knowledge about the Miyajima family and the Kurumizaka family.

After learning that Miyajima Sakura and Kurumizaka Ruri were both from prominent families and were genuine young ladies, they naturally gave up their curiosity.

Luo Shu followed the two girls curiously to the door of a classroom with a sign that read "Idol Research Club." "Is this the club's headquarters?"

"Yes, I asked Tsuzumi Mari to form it before. Reina and Setsuna were working part-time as print models before they enrolled."

Kurumizaka Ruri explained the origins of the Idol Research Club to Luo Shu. "It just so happened that Jinjinmi Mari was previously in charge of the idol management business at the agency our family founded, so I asked her to simply form such a club at school."

"So, Jinjinmi-senpai was a professional manager at an idol agency before?"

"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have asked her to take on the part-time job of being the model manager for Setsuna and Reina."

Kurumizaka Ruri brushed the hair by her ear and asked, "Shu-kun, do you know anything about Japanese idol culture?"

"I guess I understand a little bit." Luo Shu finally showed a look of understanding after hearing this, but he quickly brought the topic back to the topic, "Ahem, let's talk business first."

"Okay." After hearing this, Kurumizaka Ruri didn't continue talking about topics related to idol culture. Instead, she looked at Miyajima Sakura and said, "Miyajima-senpai, close the door."

"Yeah." Miyajima Sakura looked at the intimate behavior of Luo Shu and Kurumizaka Ruri, but she was not particularly surprised. She calmly walked into the idol research club classroom and closed the door.

"Miyajima-senpai, please take a seat." Kurumizaka Ruri pulled Luo Shu to sit down in the president's seat, then she chose to sit on the sofa opposite Miyajima Sakura, and said directly, "I came to you to talk to you about the results of the investigation on Kase Masafumi..."

Luo Shu just acted as a silent listener.

Miyajima Sakura silently listened to Kurumizaka Ruri's account of the investigation before asking, "So, it's very likely that Kase Masafumi received kendo training long before joining the Miyajima Tenshin-ryu?"

"Yes."

"Doesn't that mean the term 'unpolished jade' is the result of deliberate manipulation by the mastermind behind the scenes, someone connected to Kase Masafumi?"

"Correct."

Kurumizaka Ruri nodded slightly, "To put it simply, my senior's father, Miyajima Sosuke, was actually deceived by Kase Masafumi."

"If I tell my father directly, I'm afraid he won't believe it."

Upon hearing this, Miyajima Sakura's face revealed a hint of bitterness, but she quickly regained her composure, quickly gathered her thoughts, and asked, "However, this foreign force is going to such great lengths, I'm afraid they're not just targeting our family."

"I think I saw the relationship between our two families."

"I'm sorry." Miyajima Sakura heard this with mixed feelings, "I thought this was just my own problem."

"There's no need to apologize." Kurumizaka Ruri rolled her eyes at Miyajima Sakura, "Because things haven't developed to the point of no return.

However, as I said before, if we really want to remove Kase Masafumi's reputation as a 'unpolished gem' in the kendo world, it will inevitably damage your father's reputation in the kendo world."

"I understand, Ruri." Miyajima Sakura sighed. "If Kase Masafumi was truly a rough diamond, I might still have some concerns, but since he earned the reputation of a rough diamond by deceiving my father, I can't let my father continue to make such a mistake."

"Well, actually, the reason I came to see Senior this time was because Shu-kun and I discussed how to expel Kase Masafumi from Miyajima Tenshin-ryu."

"Liuli, what's your plan?"

"Your father is just pretending to be asleep right now. You can't wake him up by calling him normally."

Kurumizaka Ruri thought for a moment, and finally decided to come straight to the point and confess, "So, we can use other methods to force Kase Masafumi to make a mistake."

"Let Kase Masafumi make mistakes on his own initiative?" Miyajima Sakura frowned slightly when she heard this. "How exactly should we do that?"

Upon hearing Miyajima Sakura's question, Kurumizaka Ruri directly relayed Luo Shu's rumor plan, adding, "If this rumor gets out, it will definitely have a significant impact on Miyajima-senpai's personal reputation in school. So if you have any concerns, I can spend more time to think of another solution."

"It's okay, let's do it this way." After listening to the rumor plan and Luo Shu's analysis, Miyajima Sakura pondered for a moment, biting her lip, still a little worried. "But, if Kase Masafumi is influenced by the rumor and doesn't make a mistake, what should we do?"

Chapter 28: The girl wants to show the idol uniform culture of Fuso

"Next Thursday should be the time when the club experience day of Chengshen Academy begins."

Luo Shu spoke at the perfect time, his tone playful, "Miyajima-senpai, if Kase Masafumi was defeated publicly by a kendo novice like me during the Kendo Club's induction experience, and rumors about you started to spread, how much of an impact would that have on Kase Masafumi?"

"Are you trying to ruin Kase Masafumi's mood before the competition?"

Miyajima Sakura gasped when she heard this, "Luo Shu, do we really need to go to this extent?"

"Miyajima-senpai, do you want to entrust your future to a liar?" Kurumizaka Ruri felt a little disappointed when she heard that Miyajima Sakura still had sympathy at this time.

Furious at his lack of fighting spirit, she stood up from the sofa and pretended to take Luo Shu out of the Idol Research Club classroom. "Shu-kun, since Miyajima-senpai doesn't care about her future with the Miyajima family, let's go."

"Ruri, I understand." Miyajima Sakura noticed that Kurumizaka Ruri was angry, and then she realized that if she felt pity for Kase Masafumi at this moment, the price she would pay for it would be her own future and the future of the Miyajima family. She said in a dull tone, "Since Kase Masafumi and I have become rivals, I must go all out in the next attack."

"Senior, they are not opponents." Kurumizaka Ruri stopped, turned around, and looked at her seriously, "They are enemies. It is not enough to just go all out to deal with them. We must use any means necessary."

"Liu Li..."

Miyajima Sakura saw Kurumizaka Ruri's face was full of solemnity. She was silent for a while, and finally replied in a hoarse voice, "Thank you very much."

"Very good." Kurumizaka Ruri noticed that Miyajima Sakura was resolute. She nodded with satisfaction and looked at Luo Shu. "Shu-kun, if you decide to defeat Kase Masafumi in person next week, how confident are you?"

"Yes, Luo Shu, Kase Masafumi's kendo talent is quite good. Are you sure you can defeat him head-on?"

"I don't know much about the rules of Fuso Kendo, so I need you to spare some time to explain it to me in the next few days."

Luo Shu didn't make too many promises, "As for swordsmanship, it's not a big problem."

"Really?" Miyajima Sakura looked at Kurumizaka Ruri suspiciously, "Ruri, is Luo Shu a strong swordsman?"

"Since Mr. Shu said so, it means there is no risk."

Seeing Luo Shu's calm face, Kurumizaka Ruri realized that Luo Shu was not making a false move. She said firmly, "Senior, don't worry too much about Shu-kun's swordsmanship."

"Since Liuli said so..."

Although Miyajima Sakura really wanted to ask Kurumizaka Ruri, how high could the swordsmanship level be for someone who didn't even know the rules of Fuso Kendo.

But seeing that her best friend and schoolmate trusted Luo Shu so much, she finally gritted her teeth and decided to believe him once.

"Then I'll leave it to Luo Shu-san from now on."

"Don't worry, Miyajima-senpai." Luo Shu could roughly understand Miyajima Sakura's concerns. He thought for a moment, "Although I don't understand the competition rules of Fuso Kendo, that doesn't mean my swordsmanship is poor. How about this, after the freshman physical examination is over this afternoon, we can go to the Kendo Club's gym to spar, how about that?"

"Okay." Miyajima Sakura thought for a moment, then agreed when she saw Kurumizaka Ruri nod. "I'll send the kendo club members away early today and clear out the gym."

"Miyajima-senpai..." Luo Shu looked at Miyajima Sakura and extended his hand, "See you this afternoon."

"See you later." Miyajima Sakura stretched out her hand and shook hands lightly with Luo Shu, then quickly let go. Then she quickly left the Idol Research Club classroom.

After watching Miyajima Sakura leave, Luo Shu looked at Kurumizaka Ruri, "Ruri, let's go back too."

"Wait, Shu-kun." Kurumizaka Ruri suddenly locked the classroom door, leaned against the door, and gave Luo Shu a half-smile. "Yukina must have eaten something before lunch."

"what?"

When Luo Shu heard what Kurumizaka Liuli said, he felt helpless. "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. But, Liuli, how did you know?"

"Humph, Xuecai's clothes are different. If I can't see that, I must be blind."

"Ah, this..." Luo Shu never expected that the flaw would be so obvious. "Actually, this is really not Xue Cai's fault. I couldn't control myself."

"Hmph, Setsuna thought Reina really didn't notice anything about her taking the key?"

Kurumizaka Ruri rolled her eyes at Luo Shu in annoyance, "Reina may look careless, but she's very thoughtful. It's naive of Setsuna to try to hide it from her."

"So?" Luo Shu heard this and stepped forward to hug Kurumizaka Liuli by the waist. "Liuli, are you planning to bring charges against me?"

"How dare I, a little girl?"

Kurumizaka Ruri smiled and kissed Luo Shu's cheek, then whispered in his ear, whispering playfully, "Shu-kun, don't you want to learn about Fuso's idol uniform culture for yourself?"

"Oh?" Luo Shu raised his eyebrows when he heard that. "Liuli, could it be that there's something else going on with your inner wear today?"
