The boy who is a shrine maiden does not want to marry

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their eyes to him, including Ming Xue who was sitting next to him.

"Some of the old guys in the clan will enter a dormant period, and the shortest time is ten years." Hanyu Shingen said, "Even your parents and elders are included. I hope someone from you can take over this shift, so that we can completely retire after we wake up."

Hanyu Reimi turned his gaze to Hanyu Iesada, and the latter did the same.

Ye Yue clenched her fists, and Hanyu Miho... continued to gnaw on the chicken feet.

"I agree that you can compete with each other to some extent, but you cannot harm your brothers and sisters." Hanyu Shingen's expression became serious and earnest. "Whoever can win over most of the clan members at the Bloodline Meeting and gain actual control over the spiritual world and business community in Kyoto, I will recognize that person as the one in charge of everything in the Hanyu family."

2 His words were very straightforward, even telling everyone the conditions for winning this competition.

9 Ming Xue, who was sitting next to him, frowned and said, "Sir Shingen, your actual control means..."

4 "It depends on your team and the outside forces." Hanyu Shingen simply explained, then turned around and patted Mingxue on the shoulder, "You... just don't interfere."

0 His last words made Ming Xue's pupils shrink sharply. She immediately stood up and said, "Can I know the reason?"

4If we don't let him intervene, doesn't that mean he can't help Ye Yue?

3 He would never accept this kind of thing!

5 "If you help Ye Yue win, I will not approve of it." Hanyu Shingen narrowed his eyes, "The leader of our Hanyu family must be independent and cannot rely too much on others. I hope you understand that spoiling is not tolerance and help."

6 Mingxue pursed her lips, turned her head and looked at Ye Yue and said: "How many people are there around Ye Yue? How long has she been developing...Ye Yue?"

4 He found that Ye Yue lowered her head, not looking at him, and her hands were tightly grasping the tablecloth.

"You are her cheat. I am afraid that if she loses you, she will become useless." Hanyu Shingen stood up and looked at Mingxue. "Let me be more direct. If you were from the Hanyu family, I would choose you to be my successor. Unfortunately, you are not, and your joining will destroy the balance."

Z Mingxue clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "Lord Shingen, do I think you are taking sides?"

Hiss, doesn’t this kid understand what I mean?

U, just say you are willing to marry Ye Yue, then I can force you to join the competition!

AHanyu Shingen suddenly felt that this kid might not have understood the hint in the study.

q Main courtyard.

Because there were dozens of people attending the family dinner, the banquet was held on the open lawn in the courtyard.

As night falls, the stars twinkle and the soft outdoor lights make the entire venue look like a dream.

The men wore handsome tuxedos or suits, while the ladies wore various kimonos, some gorgeous, some simple and generous. They held champagne or cocktails, shuttled among the crowd and greeted each other.

The long table was covered with exquisite tableware and porcelain, on which were placed a variety of delicacies and fine wines. From exquisite French foie gras, Italian risotto to fresh seafood and grilled meats, each dish was carefully prepared with excellent appearance, aroma and taste.

While everyone was enjoying the food, the live band played classical music, creating an elegant and romantic atmosphere.

In addition to food and music, the open-air dinner also features wonderful performances, endless dance performances, humorous magic shows, and even an exciting fireworks show.

But this only made the guests smile slightly, because their leaders were not there, and only the eldest son of the family, Teppei Hanyu, who had clearly no longer participated in the struggle, was here to host the banquet.

Standing in a corner of the yard, Shiraki Taki was eating a roasted chicken leg in his hand, looking like a starving ghost reincarnated.

"Brother Baimu, you haven't eaten yet, right? Don't just eat without chatting."

The Haier brothers walked up to Shiraki Taki and asked him from their taller height.

Shiraki Taki swallowed the food in his mouth, turned his head and replied: "Since it is a banquet, of course there is an activity called eating."

The Haier brothers looked at each other, and then the shorter one asked, "Let's eat and chat over there."

"What can I talk about?" asked Shiraki Taki.

"You and Brother Hanyu." The taller of the Haier brothers patted his chest and said, "My name is Hanyu Erhai. Can you introduce me when the time comes?"

The shorter one patted his chest upon hearing this and said, "And me, Hanyu Haier."

Hearing this weird name, Bai Mulong's mouth twitched slightly, but he still asked: "Didn't you say that Big Brother is the most useless? Why..."

"Well, more roads mean more brothers, and the boss hasn't announced his withdrawal yet." Hanyu Haier rubbed his hands.

Bai Mulong was silent for a moment, then said: "I'm really not his person."

"We know, but you must know her. At the very least, could you introduce her to Miss Fifth?" Yuzuru Erhai bumped into Shiraki Taki's shoulder.

Bai Mulong threw the chicken bone in his hand into the trash can beside him, "Fifth Miss?"

Hanyu Haier walked to the other side of Shiraki Taki and patted his shoulder. "We have investigated it. Aren't you and Hanyu Hazuki from the same school? Now you are both in Kyoto, and you still say that there is no relationship?"

"I do know them, but we're not very familiar with them. I'm just their senior." Shiraki Taki shrugged.

Hanyu Haier smiled, took out his mobile phone, skillfully logged into a forum, and then showed the content to Shiraki Taki.

Bai Mulong frowned and leaned over to look at the contents of his phone. All he saw were photos of people. All of them were from Ye Yue's faction. And judging from the environment around the photos and the people's clothes, they were taken when Ming Xue and others entered the courtyard tonight.

"At the family dinner tonight, it seems that the Fifth Miss's faction has officially made its debut. They are all beauties." Hanyu Haier put away his phone. "Even now on the forum, they are said to be the four beauties of Chiba."

"and then?"

"Then the Chiba City psychics on the forum were cursing us, saying that we in Kyoto were stealing their wives!"

"...I am from Chiba." Shiraki Taki was silent for a while, then complained silently.

Hanyu Haier fell silent.

Hanyu Erhai next to him rubbed his hands, wanting to say something but stopping himself, trying to ease the embarrassment.

"I can only talk to them and introduce them... I don't think I can be of much use." Shiraki Taki declined.

The revival meeting alone was enough to give him a headache, and the demon's mission was only half completed. The needs and tasks of both parties combined required a fierce battle, which made him, who had never been on the battlefield, feel his scalp tingling.

But who told me... to be willing to step into this world?

He suddenly missed his parents who were far away in Chiba. If he died accidentally, his parents would be sad, right?

"Hey, brother, this is not a request. If you succeed, we will reward you. If you fail, forget it." Yuzuru Erhai patted his chest and said, "Although my brother and I are not rich, we are also local investigators! If there is any help, we can help you."

Hearing the word investigator, Bai Mulong was stunned and asked quickly: "How did you join the Investigation Bureau... well, or how did you become an investigator?"

After hearing this, the Haier brothers discussed with each other, and then the eldest brother Haier turned to Bai Mulong and said, "If you help me, we will naturally help you join the Chiba City Investigation Bureau, and we will ask our superiors to write a letter of recommendation."

⑧５㈦∽＋络+⑥°san∨⌒4㈣2约飞群：○·“Can you guys in Kansai really reach Kanto?” Shiraki Taki expressed his doubt.

"I can find a way to make you a trainee investigator in Kyoto. Success is just a matter of time." The younger brother Hanyu Haier replied: "It just depends on whether you want to stay in Kyoto."

Bai Mulong pondered for a moment, picked up the drink on the table and took a sip, then turned around and said to them: "I will try my best. Whether it is Ye Yue's side or... Brother Zheping's side, they are just my helpers."

"Okay, that's it." The Haier brothers clapped their hands, and then each pointed their palms at Shiraki Taki.

Shiraki Taki put down his drink, reached out and high-fived the two men with a helpless look on his face.

He could only pray that his cause would be successful.

Just as the three of them reached a deal, they heard exclamations and commotions from all around, which frightened the three of them and made them withdraw their hands, thinking that the deal had been known to others. As a result, they found that everyone was looking towards the banquet door.

Because the flow of people was quite dense, the Haier brothers couldn't see who was coming, so they could only ask the tallest one, Shiraki Taki.

"Is it the clan leader who is here? His face looks very pale and his ears are pointed?" Erhai asked anxiously.

When Bai Mulong finally saw the person coming through the gap in the crowd, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Hey? Say something!" Haier shouted at Bai Mulong, "The performance is almost over. Someone from the main family should come out and say something. Even if it's not the patriarch, it should be the third brother Jiading, right?"

"No, neither of them." Shiraki Taki shook his head, "It's... classmate Meixue Himiya, she's already on stage."

The Haier brothers were full of questions when they heard this. They looked carefully and saw Mingxue, who was wearing a purple kimono, standing on the stage adjusting the topic. Apart from her, there was no one else on the stage. It was obvious that the next person to give a speech was Mingxue herself.

"That's not right. According to the procedure, she should at least be the head of the Hanyu family, or a powerful branch family member." Haier scratched his head, "Why is it Meixue Feigong? Although she is indeed very powerful."

This is the family banquet of the Hanyu family. Well, if an outsider talks about it, does it have other meanings?

Not only did they have this idea, other people also had it to a greater or lesser extent, and some had even begun to think about whether Ming Xue should marry into the Hanyu family.

Mingxue, who had become the focus of everyone at this moment, was adjusting the microphone with a heavy heart.

The reason he came here was to make a deal with Hanyu Shingen.

If he wanted to continue helping Ye Yue, he would have to come to the banquet hall in the main courtyard to deliver the closing speech on her behalf.

When the other party proposed this condition, he wondered if Hanyu Shingen wanted to tie him to the Hanyu family.

But this straightforward question cannot be asked face to face!

Therefore, for Ye Yue, he had to agree to the other party's conditions.

So now he is standing on the stage.

"Hmm~" Ming Xue pretended to cough, and the microphone responsibly transmitted his cough sound into everyone's ears.

Dozens of people in the audience turned their eyes to him.

"Good evening, everyone. I am Feigong Mingxue. The clan leader has something urgent tonight, so I will greet you all. The evening performances and celebrations are over. The venue will be closed in half an hour. If you want to stay in the courtyard, please register with Grandpa Xiaoding... Thank you for listening, and I wish you all a happy meal."

Mingxue was not at all nervous. She recited the poem verbatim according to the draft prepared in advance by Grandma Huixiang. Although her voice was clear and pleasant, her tone was lazy and there was almost no emotional fluctuation. It was simply a reading of praise.

After hearing Mingxue's closing remarks, the people in the audience did not applaud immediately. Most of them were either from the Hanyu family or the Hanyu family's partners, and naturally understood the rules of family banquets.

Therefore, they turned their eyes to Teppei Hanyu sitting at the main table, expecting him to express his attitude and direction.

In full view of everyone, Teppei Hanyu put down the fruit wine in his hand and clapped his hands violently.

One stone caused a thousand ripples, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed suit and applauded in agreement, including Shiraki Taki and the other two.

"I'm afraid that this Himiya Mingxue in front of us is half a member of the Hanyu family. It just depends on which family can snatch her away." Haier said with a pout.

Erhai nodded slightly, "I think so too. I guess only the ones in Tokyo are left. The ones in Chiba are probably pissed off."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Bai Mulong hurriedly asked what was going on.

"Hey, you don't know yet, there are few high-quality psychics, let alone someone as young and strong as Mingxue, who is very popular in today's psychic world where there is a lack of successors." Haier said, spreading his hands.

Erhai shrugged, "For example, Fujiwara Takeshi, this killer embryo, is very popular in the Tokyo female market."

"Then... Does Feigong Mingxue have to marry those... people from big families?" Bai Mulong avoided his gaze and spoke weakly.

Haier rubbed his fat belly and said, "You can decide your marriage any way you want if you are strong, but the probability of marrying someone of equal status is higher. Otherwise, you will end up eating someone else's concubine Gong Mingxue's gigolo... I really want to eat this beautiful girl's gigolo!"

When Bai Mulong heard this, he felt inexplicably panicked and unhappy.

Damn it, I clearly told you not to think about Mingxue... Damn it, why do I care so much.

He held his head in his hands, his face full of pain.

……

Some underground pawn shop.

"Your cross... um, is it a disposable spiritual weapon? But why do I feel like it's badly worn out? Can it be used?"

The bearded shop owner looked at the black iron cross in his hand and stared at Father Wade outside the shop with suspicion.

Father Wade first made the sign of the cross, then immediately explained: "I think it can be used. I promise. I said this is absolutely true."

The shop owner took one look at Father Wade's outfit and said, "This is the first time I've met a church member from Rome. Okay, I can sell it, but the price... well, your appearance is not good enough!"

Father Wade smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and then kept bowing to the boss, "Please, I have a few children with me, please. Can you please charge me a little more?"

"After the Kyoto Rebellion, the black market was strictly investigated by the Investigation Bureau. Those who are still operating now are risking being caught." The shop owner stretched out his hand and showed four fingers, "I'll buy three of you, one for this price!"

"That... okay, alright." Father Wade thought about it and decided that if they were frugal and stayed in a B&B in the suburbs, he and Sister Emily could still live there for about another half a month.

The shop owner looked around and then took out the money wrapped in an envelope from the counter and put it on the counter.

Seeing this, Father Wade took the money in one hand and handed over the goods in the other.

After the shop owner received the three black iron crosses, he immediately closed the door curtain and refused to see any customers.

Father Wade was also not vague and ran away with the money in his arms.

He had to get away before the store owner discovered that the item was a fake.

But because he ran too fast, he bumped into Hachira Shingen at the corner of the alley.

The two men fell to the ground, holding their foreheads and groaning for a while. When they regained their vision, they saw Fukuzawa Yukichi lying on the ground!

"Wow, money?"

"Oh my God, my money!"

The two men exclaimed, and then Father Wade was the first to react and began to pick up the money on the ground.

Yashira Shingen didn't grab it, but instead observed Father Wade's face under the light of the street lamp.

Father Wade, who had just collected the money, breathed a sigh of relief. He noticed Yashiro Shingen's gaze and looked up at him, "What are you going to do?"
