"If it tastes good, eat it all. Don't choke." Red reached out to help Tiandao Shuhua wipe the cake off the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile to Inamori Mayu who was a little embarrassed, "Inamori-san, you should eat it too."

He was in a very good mood because Tiandao Shuhua was getting more and more comfortable calling him brother.

"Thank you—" Mayu Inamori leaned forward, "Sister... Medusa didn't come?"

"Ah~ We recently captured a Medusa legendary puppet beastman. Medusa seems to be very dissatisfied with this and is fighting with Servius Tullia's people," Reid spread his hands.

As for how the competition was carried out, it was somewhat bloody and not suitable to be mentioned in front of minors.

"Ah~ Speaking of which, Inamori-san, what are you going to do during graduation season?"

Red suddenly remembered that Mayu Inamori seemed to be an orphan now. It would be too pitiful if she had no one to accompany her during graduation season.

"This..." Mayu Inamori held the cake fork and her eyes flickered for a while before cautiously testing, "Um, can Medusa... appear?"

Reid was stunned and a little surprised, "If I go and tell him, it should be possible, but... are you sure?"

"Yeah, please!"

"I see," Red breathed out softly, resting his chin on his hand and glancing in the direction of the cupboard.

Tendou Souji's bowl and chopsticks have disappeared.

Chapter 764: Nosakujian Pharmaceutical

The lobby of Happy Bathhouse. Since it is a private bathhouse, the bathhouse itself and the Igarashi family are integrated, separated only by a door. When the bathhouse is not open, they will also eat in the lobby of Happy Bathhouse.

Today, all the members of the Igarashi family gathered in the lobby of the Happy Bathhouse at the call of Igarashi Kazuki. As the youngest sister, Igarashi Sakura was full of questions, while Igarashi Daiji was a little nervous.

The Igarashi couple seemed to have anticipated something. Igarashi Genta changed his usual unreliable attitude, with his arms folded across his chest and a serious expression.

"Everyone, I want to tell you something. I...decided to go back to high school!"

"Eh!?"

Igarashi Daiji and Igarashi Sakura stood up at the same time and exclaimed.

"Brother Ikki, are you serious!?" Igarashi Sakura was particularly shocked, because if Igarashi Ikki went to high school again... it would most likely be Amanokawa High School.

Her brother, who was in his twenties, showed up at Amanokawa High School as a freshman. She could already imagine the expressions her classmates would have on her face.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

Igarashi Daiji held his forehead and shook his head for a long time before he finally sorted out this shocking fact.

"Brother, what about the work at the Happy Bathhouse and...the work of defeating demons!?"

"Devil... I will find a way. As for the Happy Bathhouse..." Igarashi Ikki looked at Igarashi Genta and Igarashi Yukimi with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry, I still want to realize my dream."

Genta Igarashi folded his arms across his chest and remained silent for a long time before giving a bitter smile.

"I'm such a failure as a father to let my child say such things. Ikki, it's ok, just go and pursue your dreams."

Igarashi Yukimi chuckled and nodded to Igarashi Ikki, "Don't worry about the bathhouse."

"Thank you--" Igarashi Kazuki bowed to Igarashi Genta and Igarashi Yukimi.

Igarashi Sakura stammered and raised her hand to touch her hair, "Well - I don't care."

In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Igarashi Daiji, and he was the only one in the Igarashi family who had not expressed his opinion.

"I……"

Igarashi Daiji opened his mouth. He couldn't figure out his current emotions. He should be excited and angry, but he felt very happy. He could even feel the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably.

Is he happy that his brother has finally decided to pursue his true self?

As a younger brother, he should do this, but the growing sense of guilt in his heart kept reminding him that his joy at the moment came from sinful thoughts.

Igarashi Kazuki has shaken off his family responsibilities. He no longer needs to be overshadowed by his brother who gave up everything for the family.

In order to prevent his family from realizing that his smile came from the sin in his heart, Igarashi Daiji covered his mouth, coughed heavily, and turned his face away.

"Well - as for the demon, don't worry, brother. I will find a way."

"Thank you, everyone!"

"Ikki, that's great~ Now you can carry out your evil goals openly," the hollowed Whis came out from Ikki Igarashi's chest and laughed secretly with his hands covering his mouth.

Igarashi Kazuki frowned uncomfortably.

Now that he has the support of his family, his thoughts are no longer evil and will hurt his family, but Weiss's tone is strange, a bit gloating, as if he thinks that he will get into some family difficulties in the future.

Probably... not.

His family all supports his idea!

Because she is in the exam preparation period, Tiandao Shuhua will take out her exercises to study after school.

Knowing that he couldn't help much except hacking into the school, Red didn't plan to stay at the Tendo family for too long so as not to disturb Tendo Shuhua and Inamori Mayu's preparations for the exams.

Coincidentally, Murakami Gorge had something to report about the ownership of the territory of the Yagui tribe, so Reid, Tendou Shuhua, and Inamori Mayu said hello and returned to the Zhinao Group.

As soon as he entered the office and saw Murakami Gorge's embarrassed look, Red knew that taking over the territory of the Yagui tribe would be more troublesome than he had expected.

"Any questions?"

"It's a big problem," Murakami Gyor smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The territory of the Yagui tribe is not small, and it is located in the heart of the Xingxiu District."

"Can't we afford it!?" Red's eyes widened.

"No, it's not about the money, it's about the many competitors," Murakami Kyo took out a tablet and handed it to Red.

Red raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the tablet.

Well, I don’t know any of them.

Sonoda Mari came over, looked at the list, and pointed to a company on the tablet curiously, "Nosakuma Pharmaceutical Company? Why would a pharmaceutical company want to buy land in the Xingxiu District?"

"It seems that they are planning to build a new research institute," replied Murakami Kyoji.

"Eh...is this really possible?" Sonoda Mari muttered.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing means all kinds of research, and drug research is often accompanied by all kinds of pollution, so pharmaceutical companies are generally located away from urban areas to avoid drug pollution that may cause health problems for citizens.

"This Nosakuma Pharmaceutical Company is the main competitor this time. They have a big appetite and seem to be planning to take over the entire territory of the Yagui tribe."

"Are they... richer than us?" Red scratched his face.

"This... according to the evaluation results, it is considered our lower position."

"Since he is in a lower position, why would he be our competitor?" Reid was a little surprised.

If their competitor was Hongshang Fund, he could still understand it. In terms of wealth, even the current Zhinao Group could not be a match for Hongshang Fund, the legal producer of O coins.

"That's the problem," Murakami Gyoji paused and then sighed helplessly, "They seem to have received support from the government of [S.L] itself. We have no way to buy Nosakuma Pharmaceutical."

"【S·L】's government... So 【S·L】 has a government," Red couldn't help but complain after he suddenly realized it.

"Yes, there really is a government. All land transactions must be stamped by them to be legal. According to my investigation, the day after the moon fell, Nosakuma Pharmaceutical contacted the [S·L] government to buy the territory of the Yagui tribe. In the past two days, they have obtained the stamp of development rights, and the rest is ownership."

Reid held his chin up with his brows slightly raised, and Sonoda Mari directly complained, "They have already obtained the development rights, so what's the difference between the territory of the Yagui tribe and that which belongs to them?"

"That's the problem. Legally, that piece of land belongs to the [S·L] government. Even if there are problems with the land transaction, it will still belong to the [S·L] government in the end, and Nosakuma Pharmaceutical will be able to build a research institute on it."

Chapter 765: Retaking the make-up exam is also a part of youth

"Hello everyone! My name is Igarashi Kazuki! Please give me your guidance in the future!"

A 24-year-old adult is extremely explosive among the diverse transfer students.

But perhaps it was because of Igarashi Kazuki's sunny smile, or perhaps it was because of Igarashi Kazuki's highly contagious aura of confidence, the first-year students of Amanokawa High School were surprised and discussed in a low voice, but they did not act too exaggerated.

"Um--Igarashi...are you Igarashi-senpai's relative!?"

A student couldn't resist his curiosity and raised his hand to ask a question.

"Yes! I am Sakura's brother!" Igarashi Ikki put his hands on his hips and did not hide the relationship between him and Igarashi Sakura.

"So, Igarashi-san, why are you a freshman?"

"Of course that's because..."

Igarashi Ikki let out a long breath and raised his head, his eyes flashing with passion.

“I want to regain my youth!”

A 24-year-old man wearing a high school uniform and shouting "I want to regain my youth" while filming a video would most likely be classified as a prank, but Igarashi Kazuki's expression is so serious, and his whole body is sparkling, that people can't laugh, and even stand in awe.

"Any other questions?" Sugiura Yuta patted his forehead.

The students in the classroom all shook their heads. Even if they had questions, they would not ask in front of the dean.

Sugiura Yuta flipped through the student handbook in his hand and pointed to the empty seat in the second to last row by the window.

"Igarashi-san, just sit there from now on."

"Thank you!"

Igarashi Ikki strode to the protagonist seat in the second to last row by the window.

"Hello, hello, please give me your guidance in the future."

As soon as he sat down, Igarashi Kazuki greeted the classmates around him in a sunny manner.

No one dislikes a sunny and cheerful person, especially a person who is the type of big brother next door that makes people subconsciously feel very reliable. Igarashi Kazuki soon became friends with the high school freshmen around him.

Sugiura Yuta breathed a sigh of relief.

What he was most worried about was that Igarashi Kazuki would have difficulty getting along with other students due to his age, but it was obviously his over-suspicion.

"Ahem - I've introduced the transfer students. Now it's time for the in-class test. By the way, if you fail more than three subjects in the final exam, you will have to attend the make-up classes organized by the school."

Igarashi Ikki's smile froze instantly, and Whis came out very punctually, pointed at Igarashi Ikki's face and laughed.

Yes, it is the end of the semester now. During this period, everyone from the third year of high school to the first year of high school is in a tense preparation stage, and in-class tests are commonplace.

If you fail the final exam, you will have to spend your precious, youth-celebrating vacation taking remedial classes, which is more painful than death for a high school student in puberty.

Looking at the test paper in his hand, Igarashi Ikki was at a loss.

I can't understand it at all!

Is this what high school students are like nowadays?!

"Puff puff - Ikki~ If you sincerely ask me, I can help you find the answer~"

Weiss put his hands on his hips and shook his hips left and right.

Igarashi Ikki glared at Weiss fiercely, picked up his pen and stared at the test paper on the table.

He has his own pride!

The campus, benches, fallen leaves, a 24-year-old man in a high school uniform and a red test paper in his hand.

"9 points, hahahaha - nine points!"

Whis covered his stomach with his left hand and pointed at Igarashi Kazuki with his right hand, laughing loudly and mercilessly.

"Even if you step on the answer sheet once, you will get more than nine points, hahahaha——"

"Stop making so much noise! ​​How could such an outrageous thing happen?" Igarashi Kazuki became angry and embarrassed.

It was precisely because he did it seriously that he avoided most of the correct answers. The probability of him guessing correctly was indeed higher than the probability of him writing carefully.

But stepping on someone... that's a bit too much!

"Really? Then, Ikki, do you want to make a bet~"

"Come on, come on!"

Three minutes later.

Igarashi Kazuki supported himself on the ground with his hands in a dark background, and in front of him was the answer sheet that had been stepped on.

Just as Weiss said.

Any score he got for making a tamper on the answer sheet would be higher than the answer he wrote carefully.

"Hahahaha—how about it!" Whis put his hands on his hips and laughed. His smug look was in stark contrast to the decadent Igarashi Ikki.

At the corner, Igarashi Sakura quietly peeked in and saw Igarashi Ikki with his hands on the ground with a decadent look. Igarashi Sakura was stunned for a moment, then held her forehead and shook her head helplessly. The two female high school students who came with her also peeked in curiously when they saw Igarashi Sakura's helpless look.

"Ying, what happened to your brother?"

"Ah - I heard that there is a unified in-class test in the first year of high school," the high school girl with a side ponytail suddenly realized and looked at Igarashi Sakura with a subtle expression.
