After blah blah blah told Kaguya that five people would propose to her and ask her five difficult questions, Rin said worriedly, "If it's still those five people, it's fine. I still have some impression of them. But what if a male monster comes... um, well, it's unlikely that these gays will come. What if a monster who likes girls comes and I can't beat him, what should I do then?"
After spending a while to digest the future, Kaguya tilted her head and laughed: "It's the same idea I've been thinking of recently... Well, in the central city of the Earth Ape, I don't think there should be any monsters who dare to rob people in public. Oh, don't think too much, don't forget Eirin, I still have a way to contact her."
"Huh? I forgot about her."
Since the month before last, the feeling of being watched has become less and less. Maybe Yonglin has become relieved about him and has devoted himself to medicine, and Rin has gradually forgotten about it.
Eirin is a very qualified parent. Rin instantly relaxed and lay down, looking at Kaguya's beautiful profile. She pouted and said, "So, you still decided to use those five difficult questions? Aren't you afraid that they will find you?"
"How can it be."
Feeling that her skirt might be seen by Kougu Rin, Kaguya changed her sitting position and said nonchalantly: "Those things are all with me, okay... they are all in my possession, unique in the world, even if they turn the whole earth upside down, they can't find them."
Lin's expression turned strange for a moment, then gradually turned into gloating.
He was thinking, what kind of expression would this dead neet have when he becomes one of the suitors and brings the same treasure to propose to her.
Lin became more and more excited the more he thought about it and began to think about a plan. As for whether history would change, well, hadn't they already messed up history?
Chapter 43: Kaguya-sama’s Five Difficult Questions
The Taketori family now has lost the tranquility of the past. The surroundings are as noisy as a vegetable market, and the entrance is crowded with people. At a glance, it is unclear where the crowds are lining up.
The Taketori couple was exhausted from dealing with the situation. They were trying to persuade everyone at the door, sweating profusely. If it weren't for Rin standing next to them holding a knife, looking like someone who was not someone to be trifled with, this group of people would have rushed in without a care in the world.
Kaguya was sitting in the room, still playing games with earphones on, her brows furrowed and she looked extremely bored.
"Please let us meet that peerless beauty!"
"Yes, I came all the way from Hachiman just to see that lady!"
The wrinkles on Taketori's face were completely wrinkled together. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, my daughter is not married yet. If she is surrounded by so many people in public, her reputation will be ruined. How can she find a good match?!"
"Hey, what's the big deal? We are all here to ask for marriage!"
No one knew who started the commotion, but the others followed suit, asking for marriage on the left and asking for marriage on the right, making a lot of noise without seeming to mind making any trouble.
Seeing that one of the men was about to rush in, Lin, who was already in a very bad mood, frowned, unsheathed his sword, and pointed the tip of the sword at the opponent's chest, which was still ten centimeters away.
This tall and strong man must have been getting impatient waiting here. He was furious when the knife was pointed at him. He took a step forward and said, "I want to see if you can use the knife, you little turtle who hasn't even grown all your hair yet..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a chill in his chest with a hint of pain. He looked down and saw that the tip of the knife had penetrated a small distance.
Lin held the knife steadily, his icy blue eyes were full of coldness, and his tone was even: "Go ahead and try?"
"you……"
As if frightened, the man took a few steps back, touched his clothes that had a hole in them, and raised his head: "What is your relationship with this family? Do you have the right to stop here?"
Originally, he was too lazy to waste time talking to them and was thinking of just crippling one of them first if all else failed. When he was asked this question, Lin was slightly stunned.
Just as he had considered before, if he directly said they were a couple, it would not be able to stop those losers who wrote like aristocrats and read like hooligans and loved married women, and it would also make Kaguya bear a bad reputation for no reason. If he said they were relatives... it would contradict his plan.
"Just like you, I have love in my heart and come to ask for marriage."
Seeing that others were noisily pushing their way in, Lin frowned and added, "But, if anyone dares to be rude, don't blame me for being rude with my knife!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand lightly to the side, and the wooden door was instantly split into two pieces. Many people were frightened and looked angry but dared not say anything.
The atmosphere remained in a stalemate until a noble arrived.
The warriors and servants pushed away the other onlookers, beat those who were unwilling, and sent in a gray carriage.
A man got out of the car. He looked to be in his thirties, with regular features but a haggard face. He walked up to the Taketori couple, pinching his mustache and speaking in a haughty tone: "I am the right junior official Togo Keigo of the Grand Council. Is Miss Taketori here?"
"It's the Grand Administrative Officer!"
There was a cry of surprise all around, and everyone knelt on the ground, looking at the terrified looks of the Taketori couple. Tougo Keihei pinched his moustache with satisfaction, and frowned slightly when he saw Rin still standing there.
Seeing that although Rin's clothes were unusual, the fabric was gorgeous, and he had a delicate and fair complexion, with a natural hint of arrogance between his eyebrows, Tougo Kei clasped his hands and let go of his beard.
His title of Right Junior Secretary sounds very impressive, and for the common people he is indeed someone who cannot be provoked. In fact, his official rank is not high at all, he is just a small clerk in the Taishokan Department, with no real power at all, and he has to curry favor with ordinary nobles when he meets them.
Before he could figure out the boy's identity, he smiled and said in a friendly manner, "Is this little brother here to pay his respects to Miss Taketori as well?"
Now that the nobles have arrived, the story begins to move forward.
Rin silently held up his sword and looked coldly at the minor official in front of him. He had no sense of involvement in these class systems, and was not afraid of offending anyone, not even the supreme ruler. He was just worried that if a conflict arose, he would not be able to protect the safety of the Taketori couple.
Just when he was hesitating about how to fool her, the door to the inner room was pushed open, and Kaguya, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was kneeling in front of the door, with her black hair hanging down to the ground.
At this moment, Kaguya completely concealed her neet aura and returned to her noble and cold image as the Moon Princess. Her peerless beauty, which made people feel ashamed of themselves at a glance, was forcibly exposed in front of everyone.
In an instant, except for the Taketori couple and Rin, all the men gasped, staring blankly at the scene that was clearly in broad daylight but seemed to be illuminated by the bright moonlight. It was difficult to describe it in pictures or words, and the feeling of suffocation pressed on their chests.
The right hand of the young scholar, who was pinching his mustache, dropped stiffly. He accidentally used too much force and pulled out the mustache that he used to decorate his appearance. However, he was not moved at all. He trembled and with half of his mustache, he looked like a young man making a stick with polio.
"Beautiful... Really..."
Any words, no matter how gorgeous the description, are a blasphemy to Princess Kaguya. The literati who came here to watch the fun opened their mouths and wanted to praise her with haiku, but they couldn't say anything.
Only Rin noticed everyone's expressions and looked at Kaguya curiously.
Well, she is beautiful, but the problem is that I don’t know if it’s because I’ve seen her imageless neet look for too long, or I’ve played with her for too long and it’s no longer something I’m curious about, but I feel that this beauty is... just okay.
Actually, the one who really amazed him at first sight was Alice Megatron.
The silence did not last long before it broke out completely. Greed and desire came together, and everyone had only one thought, which was to get the beauty in front of them.
Kaguya, who was always showing off in public, was very self-aware and knew how stunning her beauty was. She hid her complacency and glanced at Rin slightly, wanting to see what the idiot's astonished expression looked like.
However, history always repeats itself in an amazing way. Just like her in the future, she faces only disappointment and Rin's dull look.
Reluctantly refraining from pulling out her cell phone which she had hidden under her skirt while she was kneeling and throwing it at the scumbag's face, Kaguya gritted her teeth and instantly regained her dignified appearance.
"My name is Kaguya Taketori. Please don't embarrass my parents. Now that you have seen me, please leave as soon as possible."
At this moment, any greed, love, or possessiveness they had were completely dominated by the cold tone, as if they were possessed. They turned around and left, and actually dispersed.
Including Togo Keihei, in order to please the beauty and not to make her angry, he obediently sat back in the carriage, his head full of thoughts on how to marry her home.
After everyone dispersed, leaving aside the fact that everyone had the same idea, the Taketori couple finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"In this case, the five people will be here soon, and I should also prepare myself."
"What preparation?"
Rin's mumbling was still heard by Kaguya. She stood up from the ground, opened her cell phone, and asked curiously.
"fine……"
The Taketori sighed, "It won't be long before a more distinguished official or noble person arrives. My daughter, you..."
"Don't worry, father. I have my own plans."
After sending the Taketori couple back to their room, Kaguya's demeanor changed and she became neet again. She lazily lay on the bedding and couldn't wait to open the game.
"You are really wasting my time. By the way, Erotic Rin."
"Ok?"
"You said you spend every day with me like this, what do my parents think of it?"
Lin poured himself a glass of water as if nothing had happened: "What else can I do? They think we have secretly decided to spend our lives together, and maybe we have crossed the line."
"Bah, you knew this would happen, but you still shamelessly insisted on sharing a room with me. How despicable! It seems like you had planned this all along."
Being inexplicably venomous by her, Lin innocently drank a sip of water and blinked.
He speaks so righteously, but I wonder which tsundere is the one who puts her legs on him every day.
While they were flirting, history finally realized that it might become a common enemy that time travelers could not afford to offend, and it rolled its wheels silently.
……
No matter how many people wanted to win over Kaguya, they were rejected without exception. In vain, they gradually gave up, and as a result, fewer and fewer people harassed them.
During this period, only five men believed that they were the best choices in terms of character, appearance and family background, and were the men most likely to marry Kaguya. They came to visit continuously, sometimes three or four times a day.
Because they are not the only dominant player, facing the other four competitors, even if they are angry, they dare not act rashly because their status is similar.
These five people were Prince Ishitake, Fujiwara no Fuhito who was rumored to be Prince Kurumi, Right Minister Abe Gomushi, Grand Councilor Otomo Nobuyuki, and the last one was Middle Councilor Ishigami Maro.
The five men were powerful, but they were obsessed with the woman and had no appetite. They wandered around the Taketori family from nine to five for nine months.
Because of their high status and more and more rumors among the people, Taketori Ogami had no choice but to find Kaguya and propose that Rin take Kaguya away. If Rin was unwilling, he could only choose one of the five people.
Today is the one-year anniversary of Rin's acquaintance with Kaguya, and it is also winter.
A year has not left any trace on Lin's face. He is still the young boy of fifteen or sixteen.
Regarding this situation, Lin was not sure whether it was because he had cultivated "Qi" or because the time traveler was special.
Time has left no traces on Kaguya's face, she is still the beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.
Over a whole year, their relationship was strengthened to the point where they were inseparable. They trusted each other and supported each other, and even their fights were filled with affection.
However, neither of them confessed their feelings actively, nor did they mention anything about Yuedu anymore. They just lived their ordinary and happy daily lives.
It is worth mentioning that although Lin has no spiritual talent, his talent for "Qi" should not be underestimated. After nine months, he has been able to fully utilize it and can even stay in the air for more than 40 minutes.
The only one who is troubled should be Meihong. It doesn't matter to her who her father marries. But since she knew that her father Fujiwara Fuhito was going to marry Rin's girlfriend, it became very embarrassing to face it.
Although it seems that this incident did not affect the deep-rooted friendship between her and Rin, she always felt a little guilty when facing Rin.
Back to the topic, it was already after lunch, Kaguya was leaning on Rin's back playing a game. After saving the side story, she covered her face with her sleeves and yawned: "Are those five uncles still outside?"
"Probably. It seems that he is unwilling to leave without your reply today. Tsk... Prince Shizhu is easy to deal with. The other four are so old and don't mind being embarrassed."
The youngest of the five is Prince Shinobi, who is in his thirties, Fujiwara no Fuhito is already in his forties, and the oldest is Abe no Yuji, who is in his sixties. In ancient times, they would be people who are about to enter the coffin, but they are still so lustful.
"In that case, that's about it for today, Rin?"
"Understood……"
Rin stood up, glanced at Kaguya who was playing with her phone, then turned and walked out of the inner room.
"Ah, it's finally out. What did Kaguya say?"
"Well, just tell them..."
After telling Taketori Ogi 's five difficult questions, Taketori Ogi was slightly stunned, nodded, opened the door, and bowed to the five people standing outside the door.
"My daughter has already responded."
"Really?" Fujiwara no Fuhito stepped forward, "I hope the old man can tell me which one of us Kaguya-sama chose?"
The Bamboo Cutter shook his head and relayed, "My daughter said that in order to test your sincerity, she has a few requests. As long as one of them can be fulfilled, it means that he loves her the most, and she is willing to marry you."
"It doesn't matter what you say. As long as it's available in this world, I can deliver it to you no matter how much it costs."
The one who said this was Abe Yusuke, who was as wealthy as a country. The other four people looked at him sideways with displeasure.
"My Lord, my daughter heard that there is another Buddha stone bowl in India. I hope you can get it."
"Master Fujiwara, there is a fairyland in the East China Sea called Mount Penglai. In the mountain there is a tree with silver roots and golden trunks. The tree bears white jade fruits. Please pick one."
"Right Minister, there is another ancient beast in the Tang land called the Fire Rat. Coats made from its fur are impervious to water and fire. Please bring the Fire Rat fur coat."
"Sir, there is a divine dragon in the east. There is a jade on the top of the dragon's head. This is a rare treasure in the world. Please bring a jade from the dragon's neck."
"Mr. Chu-na-gon, I have heard that Yanzi has a shell called Zi'an, which is shaped like a snail and looks like stone but not stone, like jade but not jade. Please bring the shell here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the five people fell silent, with confused expressions on their faces.
"This... Isn't this embarrassing for us? Not to mention that it takes a very long time to travel through mountains and rivers in a foreign country, these are all legendary treasures. We mortals..."
The five people were dejected, heartbroken and hopeless. Taketori continued, "It is because this time is unique that it can be used to test the sincerity of the adults. If you want to marry Kaguya, you should make preparations early. I said that this is not just for the adults. Anyone in the world who gets one of them first can marry her, regardless of status."
Seeing that they could no longer negotiate terms, the five men returned to their respective carriages and left with a glimmer of hope.
Although it is rare in the world, it is always a chance. What if you find it?
Finally getting rid of the five people, Rin and Kaguya breathed a sigh of relief. After being harassed for such a long time, this group of Mayflies finally left.
This way, Rin doesn't have to worry about anyone stealing his wife for the time being, and he will have plenty of time to look for the ghost tribe.
"Kaguya, today is your first birthday, how are you going to celebrate tonight?"
"Neuropathy."
Kaguya gave him a look and said, "I am already XXXXXXXX years old. According to what you said, do I have to make up for all the things I missed before? I don't have too high requirements. One a day is enough."
Rin was stunned by the long string of numbers she said. After a long time, he finally gave an "old cow"...
