"Hey, Shoko, do you know the Ushiromiya family?"

Chapter 12: Really High and Mighty (Additional Updates after Successful Contract Signing)

To celebrate the successful signing of the contract, I’m adding another update. There will be another update in the evening.

Shit, so I really have to test the waters with Lao Xu? Yamedie, I don't want to be crushed by Lao Xu!

----

There is no way Toyokawa Shoko didn't know what "Ushiromiya" was.

It was a Chinese ethnic group that rose with the Meiji Restoration, declined in the Great Kanto Earthquake, and miraculously revived after the war.

Although some bad things happened ten years ago, even now, Ushiromiya is one of the top financial groups in Japan.

How is this related?

When Katsuto pushed his student ID to Toyokawa Shoko, she couldn't help but show surprise when she saw the name on the student ID that was different from the previous ones.

His lips moved slightly, maintaining aristocratic etiquette, and the hand holding the teacup was inevitably trembling.

"I guess you don't want to know."

Coincidentally, Shengren’s mood was also unstable.

"How would a person feel when he finds out that he was actually born by an old man who was visiting a nightclub when he was over 70 years old?"

It sounds absolutely outrageous.

Although Katsuto has always known that he is not the biological child of the Hirasawa family, he was still shocked by the sudden disclosure of the technique.

It's like knowing that a 69-year-old Japanese voice actor for Wolf Warrior cheated on a female fan and made her pregnant.

From that time until half a year ago, no one knew about this.

All I can say is that the investigation into inheritance distribution in a large family is truly a mysterious matter.

It happened that shortly after Crychic's first and only performance, Ushiromiya Katsuto, who was still Hirasawa Ei at the time, was informed of this matter.

The head of the Ushiromiya family is a very strong woman named Ushiromiya Eiha. Although she is now over 70 years old, she is of the same generation as Katsuto.

The other party asked him to cut off ties with the Hirasawa family, move out of the Yamabuki family, and quit the band.

It's not a gentle multiple-choice question like "As long as you are willing to leave them, I will let you inherit the Ushiromiya family."

Instead, it means "quickly cut off ties with those shady things, and then come back to inherit the family property."

When he hadn't responded yet and didn't know what to do.

The Hirasawa family and the Yamabuki family have already been notified and have completed the guardian handover procedures.

It seemed that he had no choice.

Shengren came to the rehearsal room a little overwhelmed and was thinking about what to say.

"I'm quitting Crychic."

Shoko Toyokawa ended the band.

Whatever happened in between, Crychic is over.

The only remaining bond was severed.

Finally, even the only thing he had that was unique - his name.

It's no longer the only one.

"Because of what happened ten years ago, there are only three people left in the Ushiromiya family, including me."

In addition to Katsutomo and Ushiromiya Ewa, there is also a "niece" who is one year older than him.

Her relationship with Shengren can only be described as abstract.

Not only that.

Between her and Huiyu, Huiyu and him, Shengren—

The relationships between the three people are very abstract.

The interpersonal relationships between large families are so speechless.

"For the next six months, I followed that lady. I accepted her brainwashing-style upper-class education, attended various dinners, and met people from all walks of life..."

Harmony was also established at that time.

"Oh, this is really painful."

Katsuto said this in a pompous tone while observing Toyokawa Shoko's reaction.

He deliberately put things in a complaining tone to make it sound funny.

Keeping the conversation in a relatively relaxed tone is something Katsuto is good at.

but.

"It's really high and mighty."

"?"

Toyokawa Shoko no longer held the red teacup, but placed her left hand on the table and held her left wrist with her right hand.

He made a gesture of self-protection.

This made Shengren frown slightly.

Did he say something wrong?

Such a conversation shouldn't be stimulating, right?

"You think you're very humorous, don't you? Have you ever thought that in fact, what you say is not funny at all, and is very boring?"

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes and expression no longer looked normal.

How did his words irritate her?

"You are a person whose mind is full of yourself."

A set of smooth combos made Shengren a little confused.

what's going on?

What is going on with Toyokawa Shoko?

unless……

Toyokawa Shoko has fallen into poverty?

No, that's impossible.

The Toyokawa family was still standing there, and no news of it reached Katsuto's ears.

Since nothing serious happened to the Toyokawa family, then Toyokawa Shoko wouldn't...

abjection?

Although Shengren did think so.

But now that the facts are before us.

This logical chain seems to need to be rethought?

"So are you done?"

"That's it."

Shengren shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he had nothing more to say.

At the same time, I also conveyed to her that I would keep my promise and would not ask any questions.

So, Shoko Toyokawa reached out and wanted to take the bill on the table.

However, Katsuto's hands were faster.

"I'll pay the bill - it's embarrassing for a man and a woman to go out together and let the woman pay the bill."

"I didn't know you were so chauvinistic."

Toyokawa Shoko's tone was not friendly.

"Call it gentlemanly."

Katsuto smiled softly and went to pay the bill without Toyokawa Shoko trying to stop him.

...It's really rare.

Toyokawa Shoko, who always took the lead in the situation, actually asked him to pay the bill.

Sure enough, this is the only way to explain it...

However, even if he has a guess, he needs decisive facts to sublimate his guess into fact.

so-

He still needs a backup.

At the store door, Katsuto watched Toyokawa Shoko leave.

I saw Toyokawa Shoko looking back every three steps, and every two steps she took she looked back at him—

Of course not because of reluctance.

But to prevent him from tracking.

The young lady who didn't even know how to use a beverage machine has actually learned how to prevent being followed...

When she reached the corner, Toyokawa Shoko turned sharply, brushed past a big golden dog, and her figure disappeared from Katsuto's sight.

...left.

Katsuto also walked forward.

Three steps, two steps...

"Oh, Lambda, long time no see!"

Katsuto squatted down and stroked the head of the golden retriever named Lambda.

The golden retriever was seen wagging its tail happily, sticking out its tongue, and rubbing its head against Shengren's hand.

That's right.

Yesterday, Katsuto was thinking about going to Toyokawa Shoko's house.

However, the current Shoko Toyokawa is surprisingly alert, or even sensitive.

Even a casual touch will result in an overreaction.

At the corner, Toyokawa Shoko should even check if she has a small locator on her body.

It’s a pity that the means to defeat others are not that advanced.

On the contrary, it is very traditional.

"Just in time, Lambda, let's give chase!"

The most traditional and practical one -

Scent tracking.

(King Crimson!)

"This is... Adachi District?"

Lambda stopped and looked at a residential building that looked like a factory building.

When he determined his position, Shengren's brows were tightly furrowed.

As one of the largest cities in the world, Tokyo is undoubtedly very prosperous.

But as the saying goes, where there is light there must be darkness.

As long as there are luxurious buildings, there will be old streets and dilapidated alleys.

Adachi Ward is the dirtiest and most chaotic place in Tokyo.
