"Mom, how about we have a family meeting? First, I'll vote for myself."

Fujiwara's mother was speechless and felt a great headache.

Before, she would back down as soon as I put on a stern face, so why has she suddenly become so difficult to deal with?

The claim that she refused to act because she was worried about her reputation is not very convincing and does not have a definitive effect.

"Okay, let's vote by raising hands."

The next moment, Fujiwara Toyomi and Fujiwara Moeha raised their hands at the same time.

Fujiwara's father thought for a moment and then raised his hand as well.

Stared at by his wife, he hesitated for a moment, then said softly:

"Qianhua is still young, let her be."

"As for the possible disastrous consequences, it is the responsibility of adults to resolve these troubles."

"Hmph..." Fujiwara's mother gave a soft hum, which was taken as an agreement.

Chapter 304 The things the protagonist wants to do will definitely not end too badly.

Fujiwara Chika has thought about what she wants to do in the future and what she can do more than once.

I occasionally discuss this issue with friends and classmates.

Because the people I socialize with are mostly from well-off families, everyone matures early, and many have already decided on their future by elementary school.

Future career, interests, and in some cases even future marriage arrangements.

Therefore, when discussing this topic, many people speak matter-of-factly about the professions they want to pursue. Or, with a shy expression, they might say they want to be a bride.

That was a very casual tone, as if it were certain that one would go to sleep when it gets dark and that the sun would rise the next day.

When it comes to talking about herself, Fujiwara Chika usually just laughs it off.

After all, even among close friends, there are many things that cannot be discussed with each other.

Before today, she had never discussed this kind of thing in depth with anyone.

At this moment, as the things I want to do in the future become clearer, a lot of things to do suddenly come to mind.

After seeing off the people from Musashino, the Fujiwara family's reception room fell silent for a moment.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, Fujiwara's mother took the initiative to speak:

"I didn't really want to talk about these things with you before this."

"After all, you're still just kids. Adults' troubles have nothing to do with you."

"However, since Masamune-kun has brought it up, I will speak frankly as well."

"Just as Masamune-kun just said, our family only has three daughters in this generation. I had actually thought about having one of you marry into the family so that our family would not decline."

"However, the Fujiwara family still has your uncle to support them, so it doesn't really matter if our side declines."

"With your uncle and family taking care of you, even if you don't marry well, you won't starve. You'll have no problem having enough to eat and wear."

"Whatever you want to do in the future, I will support you."

“But... if Chika really wants to follow the path her grandfather took, that’s another matter.”

"This world is actually quite cruel to women."

"A ten-month pregnancy can affect one's career, an outstanding image can attract male attention, and an earlier retirement age means a shorter career. To go straight down this path, one cannot afford to make any mistakes; the margin for error is simply too low."

"So there's no need to put too much pressure on yourself; that way you can relax a bit."

"And what about Mom?" Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but ask.

"Me... I've hit the ceiling in my career. It looks pretty glamorous, but there's no possibility of going any further, so this is it."

"Does the Fujiwara faction that Mr. Masamune just mentioned really exist?"

"Yeah. Aren't there usually fan clubs in schools? They're similar to fan groups, just on a larger scale."

"So, every politician has a faction behind them?"

"Ah."

This world is so cruel!

Having suddenly witnessed the true nature of this world, Fujiwara Chika fell silent for a moment.

After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly:

“I admire my grandfather and want to be like him. Although the chances of success are very, very small, I want to try.”

"If that's the case, then Masamune-kun is your best helper."

"A cheering squad?"

"it's not true."

Fujiwara's mother carefully considered her words before speaking:

"The Hayase Group's financial strength is certainly very important. Whether it's the prime minister or a local councilor, the election itself requires financial support."

"But he has something more important about him. How should I put it? You all watch anime often, so you should know the difference between the main character and the supporting character, right?"

"Luck?" Fujiwara Chika said instinctively.

"More or less, but it's better described as good fortune. This isn't superstition, but rather another kind of reality."

Fujiwara's mother smiled and continued:

"Thanks to the anime rating, Masamune has accumulated a lot of connections and resources, and has gained more and more superpowers."

"To put it simply, they are just like Sherlock Holmes and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, darlings of this era."

"If reality were an animation, he would be the protagonist."

"The protagonist may not always succeed in what he wants to do, but the ending will definitely not be too bad."

Fujiwara Chika stared at her blankly. The protagonist? That statement itself was already quite superstitious.

However, there is some truth to it.

"How can I get Mr. Masamune to help me? He probably isn't interested in elections or anything like that, right? Hmm... we don't seem to have anything to offer him that would entice him."

"That depends on your determination," Fujiwara's mother said, glancing at her eldest daughter who was watching the scene unfold.

? ?

Why are you looking at me?

Could it be that you intend to use me for a marriage alliance?

Speaking of which, Mr. Masamune is very handsome and has a good personality. If it were him, it wouldn't seem to matter.

Thinking of this, Fujiwara Toyomi couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

“Chika, if you really want to follow in your grandfather’s footsteps, you need to learn a lot and you absolutely cannot slack off,” Fujiwara’s mother said again. “More importantly, don’t be like your sister; she is a negative example.”

"Why...?"

"What's wrong with me?" Fujiwara Toyomi couldn't help but ask.

"What do you say?"

After being glared at by his mother, Fujiwara Toyomi immediately lowered his head.

Although I am not that smart, I am easily distracted, pleasure-seeking, and lazy, aren't these the flaws that everyone has?

Putting all that aside, I'm not that bad, am I?

......

"President, I really didn't expect things to be resolved so easily."

"Yes, it's much simpler than I imagined."

On the way back, Masamune reviewed the situation while chatting with Watanabe Hayato.

At first, I couldn't find a suitable topic to start with, so I could only keep changing the subject and trying new topics.

Fortunately, they eventually convinced the person involved by using their dream.

"I have to say, dreams are such a great topic. Whenever the topic of dreams comes up, even strangers who aren't that close to each other will become very talkative."

Watanabe Hayato was speechless, then unconsciously burst into laughter:

"The president and Chitose are a bit alike, you two should have a lot in common."

"Is that so? Speaking of which, I told Chitose before that there would be casting for two anime this season, but now it's only for one. She must be very disappointed, right?"

"Really? Maybe she's already forgotten."

"That's true. The young lady's emotions change too quickly. As long as you give her a sweet treat, she will immediately forget the unpleasantness before."

Masamune paused for a moment, then pondered and said:

"There are many female characters in The Dragon King, but none of them seem to suit her."

"If she doesn't get selected, treat her to a meal as a consolation."

"By the way, in two months, when it gets warmer, how about we book a beach and organize a company trip together?"

"Why does the president suddenly want to go to the beach?" Watanabe Jun looked surprised, but quickly realized what was going on.

He suddenly came up with another brilliant idea; that's so typical of the club president!

"Because...it's almost summer."

"That's true. When it comes to summer, the first thing that comes to mind is often the sea."

"Actually, I originally planned to go to the beach with three or five friends during my vacation. But the animation production is progressing quite fast this quarter, so it would be nice to take a few days off and have the whole company go on vacation together."

"That must cost a lot of money, right?"

"Renting a venue doesn't cost too much. You can bring your own swimsuit. To be honest, it's just like getting two extra months' salary."

"Too."
