At first, Uesugi Sosetsu didn't understand what Senior Mai meant. He thought that Shirakawa Mai meant that Hirate was also from the other world. After Senior Mai explained it more clearly, Uesugi Sosetsu realized that there was a big boss backing Hirate Sarana.

In Japan, members of the Diet are equivalent to vice-ministerial officials. They receive a fixed monthly salary of 129 million yen from the Diet, with an additional allowance of 635 million yen for half a year, making an annual salary of 2200 million yen. In addition, they have 100 million yen in official expenses per month (tax-free) to allocate freely. They can live in the member's official residence in Akasaka for only 10 yen in rent (the market price is generally over 50 yen), and have unlimited rides on JR trains throughout Japan and four free domestic flights each year.

In addition, members of Congress can also appoint three secretaries, namely the policy secretary, the first secretary and the first private secretary, with annual salaries of 1000 million, 800 million and 600 million respectively, and they are fully reimbursed. Many members of Congress will leave these positions vacant or have their children or relatives take on the positions.

This kind of person is a real big boss, and he also holds one of the three important positions in the party, which is second only to the party chairman.

And everyone should understand that, as mentioned earlier, once you reach the level of superintendent of police, you no longer rely entirely on your salary to make a living. These bigwigs in Congress basically do not rely on this salary to live.

According to senior Mai, Councilman Yuasa's son, Yuasa Hiroshi, is a playboy, and Akagi-zaka was created by this father and son. Yuasa Hiroshi likes his chosen girl, Hirate Sarana, very much, and takes her to see all kinds of big names whenever he has the chance. They have all had dinner together with Tamori, Kitano Takeshi, Akashiya, and Sanma. He has also taken Hirate to meet the presidents of major agencies such as Soul Agency, Horipro, Ken-on, Toho, Oscar, Amuse, Sony, Lespro, NHK, and the five major private TV stations.

Over time, Hirate Sarana naturally felt that she was a big shot, and she looked down on people like Uesugi Sosetsu, an old noble family member who did not graduate from one of the Seven Great Imperial Universities and whose family did not even have a government minister or a director on the board of directors of a large corporation.

Who are you?
I'm a supernova idol who appeared on Red and White in my first year. A specially hired forensic consultant with a monthly salary of 28 can only be considered half a police chief, right?
How about you become a chief physician first and then talk to me?

"That doesn't matter." Uesugi Sosetsu didn't care much about it. He thought that he and this little idol would probably only meet two or three times in this life, and they were definitely not strangers. So let her be arrogant: "What's the matter with Mitsui?"

"Hehe, it's very simple!" Senior Mai glanced at Uesugi lightly and found nothing unusual. She paused her two crossed legs in stockings and turned to face Uesugi Souji. Her two beautiful, white and thin shoulder blades were still vaguely visible through the white shirt.

She had a special ability that enveloped her and Uesugi Sosetsu. Even though they were in the park in front of the Odaiba building, no one noticed them. "That incident was actually very simple. The son of Mitsui Sumitomo fell in love with me at first sight at a banquet at the Imperial Hotel. He deliberately pestered me and arranged for the waiter to send me drugged champagne. Then he pretended to be drunk and tried to kiss me forcefully. He also touched me inappropriately. At first, I thought he was also from the other world and investigated, but it turned out that he was a second-generation rich man who was as bold as a lecher."

"But whether it is or not, he has already got his death!"

"My arrangement was also very simple. I knew he was going to Nagoya on a business trip three days later, so I arranged for a Dongfeng Dayun truck from an undisassembled container in Yokohama to send him to the west at the right time."

"Haha, the Mitsui Sumitomo Group was extremely shocked by this incident. They asked the Nagoya Police Headquarters to conduct a thorough investigation, but there was no one in the car, no fingerprints, no license plate, and no highway exit and entry records. No matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out whether it was murder. In the end, they could only close the case as an accident."

"And the funniest thing is that this car was imported by their Sumitomo Mitsui Group." Shirakawa Mai said with a smile, and then whispered in Uesugi Sosetsu's ear like a devil: "You won't report me, will you, Junior Brother?"

"Even if I want to report it, I have no evidence!" Uesugi Sosetsu rolled his eyes. He knew Senior Mai a little bit: "Based on your personality, you must have enough reasons to kill someone, right?"

"I am a principled person. I have three rules for killing bad guys. The first is the intentional killing of innocent people, the second is the drug dealer, and the third is the rape and murder of minors. If I come across these three situations, I will take action. Junior, can you guess how many of these crimes this Mitsui Takamatsu has committed?"

"The third scenario?" Uesugi Sosetsu swallowed his saliva. He knew that he was almost killed by Senior Mai. If he had attacked Saito Asuka that night, it would have touched upon part of the third scenario.

“The answer is, all three!”

Senior Mai smiled and raised three fingers: "So there is a reason to take action! He is going to get lucky~"

From the tone of her voice, Uesugi Sosetsu knew that Senior Mai had often helped others "get lucky" and sent them to live in a different world from scratch. He wanted to ask, but didn't know how to ask.

"Huh~" After saying this, Senior Mai suddenly leaned on Uesugi Sosetsu's shoulder quite tiredly, pulled him to sit on a bench in Odaiba Park, and rested her head on his shoulder: "Can I lean on you?"

"What's wrong? Are you tired?" asked Uesugi Sosetsu.

"I... Junior, you know what? I can't tell these things to anyone else except you." Senior Mai smiled bitterly tiredly: "Now, I finally have someone I can talk to and communicate with. It's great."

"Actually, I know that it's dangerous to voluntarily blow myself up in front of you, especially in a dark forest like the other world."

"But I have been lonely for too long. If I don't find someone to talk to, I will..."

The white mura shirt was close fitting, and wrapped around her slender waist, she still looked so slender that it could be held in one hand. The hem of her pure black skirt extended from her waist and hips downwards to near her ankles. Below, her calves, which were originally very smooth and delicate, were even more shiny and beautiful wrapped in stockings. As senior sister Mai was sitting in a half-twisted posture, the entire flesh-colored stockings were tightly attached to her elastic legs. Two sexy folds near her ankles were clearly visible. On the upper of her white pointed high-heeled shoes, the smooth blue veins on the instep of her feet emerged, and she looked extremely sexy through the thin stockings. It seemed that Uesugi Sosetsu could hardly control himself.

He knew that the senior sister took a huge risk by revealing to him that they were also from the other world, but if she didn't find a confidant in the other world, the mental pressure on her sister would almost reach its limit. Unlike Uesugi Sosetsu who could communicate directly with the Dead Souls Grudge, she had always been alone and was driven crazy by loneliness. The only master she had ever worked with who was also from the other world was killed by her own hands because he wanted to kill her.

He took the initiative to hold Senior Mai's hand, clasped it with both hands, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the reason why we are together? If you have anything you want to talk to me about in the future, just come to me!"

“Heh, you make it sound like you have the right to refuse!” Senior Mai was weak for a short while before she became very strong again: “I’m telling you, we’ve already signed a contract to share chakra! You have to listen whether you want to or not! You have no right to refuse!” “Okay, okay~ okay!” Uesugi Sosetsu acted funny seriously and saluted Senior Mai in his arms: “Loyalty! Honesty!”

“Hehehe~” Senior Mai was amused by Uesugi Sosetsu and saluted him in a very similar way: “Chū~Cheng!”

It’s nice to have someone you can talk to and confide in.

........................

After finishing the affairs at Fuji TV and welcoming the return of Mariko Hironaka, Uesugi Sosetsu immediately began preparing for the ryotei trip to the University of Tokyo.

This ryotei banquet was extremely grand and serious. The venue was Hanasari Ryoten in Chiyoda Ward, which is said to have a history of more than 300 years and has existed since the mid-Edo period.

What’s even more surprising is that this restaurant is the first property owned by the Kanto Shrine Alliance, which means that it was “inherited” by Senior Mai from her master.

So, this group of people makes up the Japanese upper class.

On the day of the banquet, Uesugi Sosetsu set out from Sakata Bridge. He rarely changed into a black traditional kimono with blue Uesugi Takejaku family crest printed on his arms and back. A folding fan hung on his chest, which matched his cool temperament and made him look even more handsome and impressive.

At least Asuka Saito and Erena Ikeda, who were changing his clothes for him, had stars in their eyes.

Dusk was falling, dyeing the deep alleys of Chiyoda Ward with a layer of indigo. Uesugi Sosetsu came to the black lacquered wooden door. The three characters "Hana Sanri" on the warm curtain were reflected by the paper lanterns in the courtyard. The dry landscape courtyard was covered with a layer of faint sunset glow. The tortoise-shell-patterned gravel condensed into waves of ice crystals. The subtle fragrance of a weeping plum wrapped in the smell of charcoal fire drifted in to the side.

"Welcome! Are you here for an appointment, Mr. Uesugi Sosetsu?"

"Yes." Uesugi Sosetsu nodded.

"Please come to the crane room." The crane pattern on the female general's sleeves brushed across the gold foil cloud pattern on the shoji door. The tatami was permeated with the cool fragrance of rush. She took the initiative to take Uesugi Sosetsu through the corridor.

However, after taking a few steps, Uesugi Sosetsu heard a sound behind him. He turned around and suddenly felt his heart pounding.

Miss Minami?
Perhaps because today's restaurant banquet was particularly important, Miss Minami dressed up specially today. Her long, beautiful black hair was piled high behind her head, she had slender, curved eyebrows, a tall, delicate nose, and full lips painted with bright lipstick. Her sweet, intellectual and graceful face was lightly made up, and her whole face looked flawless, delicate and attractive.

The tabi under the sakura-colored furisode kimono tapped the ground lightly, and the seven-layer gradient sakura-colored furisode brushed against the pillars. The golden lacquered peonies that had been sleeping for a hundred years flowed down along the folds of the clothes, highlighting her slender waist, which was slender and charming, and looked very soft.

A snow-blue belt held up her triple-layered blouse with dew-patterns, the outermost layer of which was adorned with fallen cherry blossoms carved from mother-of-pearl. It swayed gently as she stopped to gaze at the falling snow, wrapping around her petite body. The coral tassels in her hair swept across her neck, leaving light pink ripples on her skin.

Is this Miss Minami?
Uesugi Souyuki was a little stunned. Yes, he had seen her in police uniform and private clothes many times. This was the first time he saw her wearing a kimono. She really had the flavor of a traditional Japanese lady!

Being able to meet Uesugi Sosetsu here, a touching smile appeared on Watanabe Minami's beautiful and sweet face, and a blush gradually spread up from her snow-white neck. It can be seen that she was also very excited to meet Uesugi Sosetsu wearing a kimono.

"Why, haven't you seen me dressed like this before?" Miss Minami felt a strong sense of embarrassment as soon as she opened her mouth, so she deliberately forced herself to say, "Mr. Zong Xue, it's very rude to look at me like this!"

"I see you wearing a police uniform or a Western-style plaid skirt and beret in your private clothes all day long. This is the first time I see you wearing a kimono, Miss Minami. I have to say, it suits you very well." Uesugi Sosetsu smiled and said, "Miss Minami in the Yamato Nadeshiko style?"

"Tsk tsk, Soxue-kun, you're not bad either. A member of the feudal lord's clan who is in charge of the sankin-kai?" Watanabe Minami lowered her head shyly, and her pair of small feet in the snow-white tabi instinctively tucked into the hem. She was a little uncomfortable not wearing stockings today.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"The other guests are already in place, please take your seats." The female general in a tomosode kimono said to the golden boy and jade girl with a slightly joking look, and then opened the paper door between the cranes.

The people from Todai University and the Metropolitan Police Department have all arrived and are waiting for the two of them.

Uesugi Sosetsu nodded, but just as he was about to step into the Tsuru No Ma, Miss Minami suddenly quickened her pace and took his hand.

Ok? !
