MyGO? The string value monster craves the band girl!

"As for the maternal X chromosome, the probability of a certain X chromosome from the first generation, Mrs. Toyokawa F, being passed on to the second generation is 100%, but the probability of the second generation passing on the X chromosome from F to the third generation is only 50%. By analogy, by the fifth generation, the heir's bloodline is definitely not related to the first generation head of the family, and the probability of being related to the first generation wife F is only 12.5%. If the probability decreases by half each generation..."

"Bang!" Shoko Toyokawa slapped the table.

Then, she raised her arm and elbowed Xian Juanwei who was beside her hard, but was blocked by Xian Juanwei's palm.

"Mr. Genmaki! There are countless cases of Japanese conglomerates being run by their sons-in-law! The Toyokawa family is only special because they've been doing this for years! Please consider the national situation and the honor of the Genmaki family before you say such nonsense!"

Shoko Toyokawa rubbed her slightly sore arm and cursed with all the swear words she could think of in a hurry.

Really, this interruption ruined the originally tragic atmosphere.

Shoko Toyokawa coughed lightly and looked at Su Shi who was sitting across the table covering her lips with her hand, trying to bring the topic back to what she called the "curse of the Toyokawa family."

"Su Shi, you know, my mother left me when I was in junior high school... to be exact, before Crychic was formed."

"Xiao Xiang..."

"Okay, don't make that face. The reason I'm so sure my grandfather won't keep fighting with me until he runs out of energy and has to consider training a successor is because..."

Toyokawa Shoko shrugged, her tone calm and indifferent:

"In fact, my mother's situation is not an isolated case. My grandmother and even the ancestors who gave her husband the legitimacy to take over the management of the Toyokawa Group were all in the same situation."

"Ah...eh? No, then...Xiao Xiang, what do you mean? No, no!"

Su Shi shook his head in confusion and suddenly stood up from his seat; Wakaba Mutsu, who knew something about the situation of the Toyokawa family, kept his head down and refused to speak.

Toyokawa Shoko stretched out her hand and rubbed the hair in her ponytail:

"It's probably a fairly regular, sudden illness. It's probably a genetic condition, right? Jiu Mingwu, my father, Qi Yichan, consulted my mother, who traveled to top medical institutions around the world but never found an effective treatment... Xianjuan-jun is also aware of this, right?"

Xian Juanwei nodded:

"When Aunt Ruisui was receiving treatment in the United States, I also went to visit her."

Looking at Su Shi's stunned expression, Toyokawa Shoko smiled and shook her head:

"If you're talking about targeted drugs, my grandfather has actually been investing in this area since my grandmother passed away. After all, before the rapid development of modern medicine, short lifespans were common even among wealthy families. No one thought of genetic diseases back then. It wasn't until my grandmother's time that objective conditions made it feasible to find professional institutions to conduct targeted research and treatment."

"But...DNA has only been discovered for less than seventy years. My grandfather has contacted numerous medical institutions and pharmaceutical companies, but none of them have been able to determine which known genetic disease my family suffers from. In other words, not only is the prospect of successful development extremely uncertain, but it seems the only target customer is the Toyokawa family, who will bear both the R&D costs and the profits."

"I've also learned that, considering the recent cost of developing new drugs, $2 billion isn't uncommon. It's something the Toyokawa Group can definitely afford, but this isn't a problem that can be solved with money alone."

"Just like in the year 1000, even with all the wealth in the world, it was impossible to develop a polio vaccine. This involves the scientific level of the entire industry, and the Toyokawa family can only pray for the mercy of time."

Su Shi clenched his hands and said, "Xiao Xiang..."

Toyokawa Shoko waved her hands repeatedly: "Alright, alright, don't always have that expression, as if you are going to attend my funeral tomorrow."

"Xiaoxiang, why don't you care about yourself..."

"After my mother left me, it was almost certain that this was a genetic disease that ran in the direct line of the Toyokawa family. So, I figured it out a long time ago. Even if someone is disabled, why would they cry about their body every day? Don't waste your time worrying about something that will happen in twenty years. Maybe medicine will have advanced enough by then."

Toyokawa Shoko held her head in her hands, looking very relaxed. She looked at Genmaki Yui beside her and said with a smile:

"So, since I'm an only child, my grandfather's greatest asset in running the Toyokawa Group is his status as Toyokawa Shoko's guardian. As long as I persevere, he'll have to choose between having no successor and taking me and my father home. In the end, he'll have to give in. Isn't that right, Genjumaki-kun?"

Genjumaki Yui didn't show the comforting expression that Toyokawa Shoko hoped for. Instead, she looked a little solemn:

"That's because everyone has high hopes for the eternal future of the Toyokawa family, Xiangzi, that you can provide. They hope that after Xiangzi, they can continue to follow Xiangzi and Xiaoxiang to keep the iron rice bowl of the Toyokawa family. So, when you have a fundamental conflict with your grandfather, you naturally have many supporters... But this time can't be dragged on."

"Especially considering everyone's life expectancy and mental state, with Toyokawa Sadaharu and Toyokawa Shoko no longer around, and the expectation that Toyokawa Shoko will need to study for another decade before taking over the Toyokawa family, you don't think, Shoko, that without other protections, after more than a decade of co-governance by the board of directors, Toyokawa Shoko will still be able to control the Toyokawa Group with a single command, right?"

"To use the British royal family as an inappropriate analogy, excluding Aunt Mizuho, ​​Xiangzi, you are Prince Charles, your grandmother is Queen Elizabeth II, and your grandfather is Prince Philip."

"With Queen Elizabeth II's death and Prince Charles underage, Prince Philip can continue to serve as regent until he develops dementia according to tradition and the will. If the cabinet and royal family members have to choose between the two amidst the internal strife between you, they will definitely support you in the long run."

"But if it's widely known that Prince Charles might not live to see Prince Philip's senility and take over, and it's also widely known that Prince Charles will definitely be childless, then in order to keep his job, everyone besides you actually has a third option that's not completely unacceptable, right?"

"If Xiangzi is interested, he can learn about the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who could be accepted if necessary."

"When I first visited Aunt Mizuho, ​​I also met with people from several well-known pharmaceutical companies and medical institutions in the United States. One CTO said that the problem with many diseases is a lack of market and investment, and the risk of failure is too high. This disease should be easier to treat than cancer. $100 billion plus 15 years might be enough to solve it. After all, Pfizer's annual R&D budget is only 10 billion."

"Although I said this in a joking tone, other top industry figures didn't object... So, take it easy. Ten years of technological progress in certain fields can now be equivalent to 20 to 30 years in the past. There's still hope."

Chapter 163 Milk powder, who did you buy it for?

"Don't bother trying to comfort me about that kind of thing! Anyway, I'm mentally prepared and not afraid at all...at least I'm not old enough to worry about it."

Toyokawa Shoko waved his hand in a broad-minded manner, looking like a young man who could take life and death lightly.

"You should also take care of your health, Genjumaki-kun. After all, Xiaomu has been entrusted to you."

When Su Shi heard Xiangzi's words "I'll leave Xiao Mu to you", her eyelids twitched again because she and Xiangzi had embarrassed themselves in front of Wakaba Mu last night.

"Thank you for your concern, Xiangzi. But you can trust me more in this regard. The Xianjuan family has a gene for longevity."

Xianjuan Wei took a sip of red tea and said with a smile:

"The last time I went to pay my respects as a child, the elders were already from the Victorian era. I also want to try to see into the next century."

Shoko Toyokawa, who had just been open-minded about her possible life span issue, seemed to be suppressing the trembling of being hit by a stick with her twin ponytails when she heard this.

The Victorian era ended in 1901, and Xian Juanwei was born in 2002.

In other words, the elder Xian Juanwei had mourned had lived for at least a hundred years and spanned a century...

Shoko Toyokawa picked up a small biscuit, took a bite, and then chewed it with some force. She looked up at the sky, her amber eyes rippling and trembling.

The long sky, why is it less than me?

In this world, good people don't live long, and bad people...

Ahem, forget it, it’s so rude to say that!

"Hey, Genmaki-san, Toyokawa-san, why are you both here?"

While Toyokawa Shoko was still immersed in the theory of longevity that was destroying Bandoli's worldview, Chihaya Aine had already arrived at the gathering place again, her face full of curiosity, wanting to join in.

"Wei and Xiaoxiang just came to have afternoon tea with us. Would you like to try some, Ain?"

Su Shi, who was feeling a little depressed just now because of Xiangzi, changed his expression in an instant. He pinched the handle of the teacup, narrowed his eyes and smiled, and raised his voice to invite Aiyin.

The other three people also echoed Aine's statement, tacitly not revealing Xiangzi's embarrassing situation to Aine.

"Wow, there's afternoon tea in the snowy mountains?"

Aine put the skis aside, rubbed her palms together, and sat down in the empty seat between Suze and Genmaki Yui.

Although skiing is fun, it is more fun to be with everyone!

If you are skiing alone without any spectators, you might as well sit down and have some tea together.

----

Sydney Airport in the evening.

Although she calls herself a top student, when faced with the professional terms in the introductions of various milk powders in the duty-free shop, Chihaya Aine still chose to take out her mobile phone and compare them one by one using translation software.

Xianjuan Wei also picked up a can of milk powder with the most reliable-looking packaging and looked at it in her palm.

The so-called airport duty-free shops, in a sense, are probably buying all kinds of Made-in products at airports around the world...

Putting aside the luxury goods counters, the Australian milk powder that Aiyin is selecting is probably one of the very few things here that can be absolutely confirmed not to be a branded product produced in some mysterious country.

Compared to the aunties who rush to Japan to buy domestically produced toilet lids, it is understandable that they go to Australia to buy original milk powder.

Ruoye Mu came over and looked at the "Applicable Age" sign and nutritional information on the back. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at everyone except Aiyin, who were a little distance away, thinking about the souvenirs to take back in the duty-free shop. Then he reached out to block the voice beside him and whispered:

“Is it too early to buy milk powder?”

Xianjuanwei turned his head a little confused. After a moment, he understood what Ruoye Mu meant, and a slightly awkward curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

I picked it up just out of curiosity. What are you thinking?

Xian Juanwei grabbed the can of milk powder in his hand, raised his arm and pressed the can onto Ruoye Mu's head. He pressed it on her head twice before saying:

"I'll bring you two cans to replenish your body."

"Why would I need something like this..."

"Really? Mass-market consumer goods are a bit lacking. I'll go back and make Xiao Mu a cup of the special milk powder that he loved to drink when he was a kid."

"Really... Never mind, I won't tell you..."

In another duty-free shop focusing on cultural and tourism products, Chu Hua put a set of notebooks that he had picked up at random from the recommended section into his shopping bag because he didn't know what to buy.

Looking at Xiangzi, who seemed a little dazed, Chuhua asked tentatively:

"Well, Xiaoxiang, why don't you take some souvenirs back for your relatives and friends?"

"Ah..." Bringing her thoughts back to reality, Toyokawa Shoko slowly shook her head.

"When I traveled with my family before, someone would help me buy souvenirs, so I don't know much about what to buy."

But after a moment, Xiangzi caught a glimpse of something strange in Chuhua's eyes, and his radar sounded a warning.

So Toyokawa Shoko smiled helplessly and reached out to the shelf to take it:

"But Chuhua's reminder is right. I'll take something back with me."

Looking at the goods in Xiangzi's hands, Chuhua couldn't help but feel distressed and sad for her.

It was just... a set of postcards so cheap it was only worth the price of a meal.

Airport apron, private aircraft area.

"Ain, you brought back a lot of things. I think you bought a lot of milk powder."

Su Shi smiled as she watched Aine hand over the newly bought suitcase filled with gifts to the man in black to be taken into the warehouse.

Milk powder... Little Ain really should drink more milk powder.

After all, if you want to grow up, you have to seize the last chance now. It will be too late to make up for it after going to college.

Aine put a hand on her waist. “After all, there are quite a few people I want to give gifts to… including my relatives’ children. Although many things can actually be bought at local supermarkets, it feels more meaningful to bring them back from overseas personally. It seems that selecting them on site is safer than shipping them directly from the manufacturer. Eh? Soyorin doesn’t seem to have brought anything?”

Su Shi mentioned the shoulder strap of the shoulder bag:

"I... don't have many relatives and friends who need to bring things. It's common for people in Tsuki no Mori to travel around the world, so I just prepared some small handicrafts for my familiar classmates. Look, Xiao Mu didn't buy anything."

Ruoye Mu on the side said “hmm”: “If you buy a lot of things every time you go out, it will be troublesome for everyone.”

"But out of politeness, many people will still carefully select a lot of things."

The weather in Sydney has been a bit cloudy these past two days. As Xianjuan Wei looked up at the sky, Mana, who had just sent the suitcase away, came over, picked up the phone, and asked carefully:

"Boss, I took some photos of my trip these past two days. Can you share them on my account?"

Xian Juanwei nodded indifferently:

"Don't mention my name or hint at anything, don't upload the filming scene, and of course everything else is up to you."

"Thank you, President!"

Mana took out her cell phone and looked through the photo album to think about the travel updates she would post next.

As her eyes swept across the rows of photos she had taken at the Sydney Opera House, recording the "performance" of the four-member AUV band, Mana pursed her lips slightly.

Sydney Opera House, one of the holy places of music... It's so nice. I have longed to come here before sumimi debuted.

I also want to truly shine once, just like them in the drama, at least once.

Chapter 164 Older than the Solar System

Early in the morning, on a road with less traffic near Hanegaoka, Chihaya Aine, who had changed into her school uniform in the shower room after getting up on the plane, stepped out of a low-key bulletproof car.

"Thank you very much! I'm sorry for the trouble along the way!"

After bowing to the driver and the man in black sitting in the passenger seat, Aiyin put on her backpack and held a stuffed bag in her hands.

"Please double-check whether you've forgotten anything you need for school, Ms. Chihaya. If not, we'll send the rest of your luggage to your residence. Your mother should be home at this hour, right?"

The man in black sitting in the passenger seat looked at Aine with eyes hidden behind his sunglasses.

"Yeah! I've already brought everything I need! Mom should be doing housework around this time, so thank you for troubling me!"
