"Huh...? Is it raining?"

Suddenly feeling some wetness on her face, Sanzenin Nagi paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening, hurriedly wiped away her tears, and looked around.

"Oh, I cried again. How embarrassing. Luckily, no one saw it."

Every time I hear this song, I feel a slight sadness, but I just can't help but watch it.

On the screen, as Tomoyo Sakagami, Kyou Fujibayashi, and others appeared one after another, Nagi Sanzenin couldn't help but smile again.

Even though Sakagami Tomoyo and the others are all the same person, when they introduce themselves, they also say "Sakagami Tomoyo, Fujibayashi Kyou".

However, Shizuka Sakaki's introduction was completely different from everyone else's. She said, "Hello everyone, my name is Shizuka Sakaki, and I play the role of Nagisa Furukawa in CL."

She was the only one who said "acting" instead of "I am," which made her seem like a husky mixed in with a group of cats.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Sanzenin Nagi was startled and turned around to see Klaus standing in the doorway. She asked in surprise:

"What do you need, Klaus? Why did you knock on the door so suddenly? You startled me."

"Miss, President Hayase is here to visit."

"Huh...? That Hayase from Musashino?"

"Yes."

"Why is he here?"

Sanzenin Nagi quickly turned off the TV, turned her back to Klaus, and began to straighten her clothes.

"I'm not entirely sure, but it shouldn't be a bad thing." Klaus smiled and nodded to himself.

It seems that the old man's trick might work.

"Since Miss doesn't object, I'll bring them over now."

"Wait a minute! I'm not ready yet. At least let me wash up."

"Young Miss is already very beautiful and young, she doesn't need to dress up, does she?"

"This is a matter of basic courtesy when receiving guests."

"...They're just ordinary guests, not meeting their future lovers. Miss, you don't need to be so busy, do you?"

"Meeting my idol is much more important than meeting my future lover."

"..."

“In that case, I will tell President Hayase that Miss is still asleep and has just gotten up, so we need to make some preparations.”

"Wait a minute! People will look down on me if you say that. It sounds like you're some kind of shut-in who never goes to school."

"..."

Klaus was speechless, his face showing surprise, but he couldn't bring himself to complain.

"Never mind, let's just go there."

Sanzenin Nagi hurriedly ran to the front hall, and Klaus could only respond and quickly follow.

"Yes."

......

"President, the Sanzenin residence is huge."

"For the Sanzenin family, this is just a very small house."

"Huh...? Is there really such a big difference between Hayase and Sanzenin?"

"That's not the case. The Hayase family has developed very quickly in the past two years, and their assets are not much different. If they really wanted to buy, they could easily buy thousands or even tens of thousands of houses like this. But when it comes to houses, you only need enough. Buying too many and not living in them is a waste."

Masamune paused for a moment, then continued:

"This is probably the difference between old-established aristocrats and nouveau riche. Putting aside money, the difference in hidden assets, connections, networks, and so on is indeed quite significant."

"However, with the help of this wave of animation production, we can catch up in a few years."

"To put it simply, Hayase is making rapid progress and has a bright future, while the Sanzenin family is struggling to maintain its current size due to various reasons."

Just then, a voice tinged with anger came from behind.

"What on earth are you doing here?"

Looking back, Sanzenin Nagi was standing with her hands on her hips, looking at them with a displeased expression.

"Sorry, we chatted for a little while."

"Hmph... Whether the Sanzenin family declines or rises again is none of my business. I don't want to hear about this. It's always about Sanzenin, Sanzenin, and all that. It's so annoying."

"Some things are just there, and they don't cease to exist just because you don't want to hear about them."

“Urusai! You don’t understand anything. Even without the Sanzenin family, I can earn my daily living expenses on my own.”

"That's true. I believe that with your financial knowledge, making money won't be difficult. However, if the Sanzenin family really falls, you won't be able to protect any amount of money you make."

Masamune paused for a moment, then continued:

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. There are definitely many people who would take the risk knowing that you can easily make a lot of money."

"Moreover, you are very beautiful, which could also attract unwanted attention."

"Pervert!" Sanzenin Nagi muttered under her breath, then asked, "So, what exactly are you here for?"

Masamune chuckled to himself. Even though he had seen countless anime characters, hearing her classic short phrase still felt strange, as if he had returned to the time when he was a child watching anime in his previous life.

However, perhaps it's because of childhood nostalgia, but surprisingly I wasn't angry at all, even though I was scolded. Instead, I felt like laughing.

"Sanzenin Nagi, we at Musashino want to create an anime based on you next season, and we would like to obtain your permission."

"Oh...! I can be the female lead too?" Sanzenin Nagi's eyes lit up, her excitement was indescribable. "Don't call me Sanzenin, it feels a bit awkward. Just call me by my name."

"What kind of anime? A romance anime? Or a school anime?"

"Don't speak yet, let me guess. You brought Umaru with you this time, and it seems like you're not in a romantic relationship. So, this anime is somehow connected to her."

"Wait a minute, you're not planning to turn my daily life of not going to school much into an animation, are you?"

"No way, that would be too embarrassing. Once the anime airs, the whole country will know that there's a shut-in in Tokyo named Sanzenin Nagi, and the internet will be talking about it everywhere."

"There's even a possibility that she could be stigmatized as 'Three Thousand Houses' or 'Netorare Nagi'."

"Haha..." Masamune couldn't help but laugh. "Please stop making wild guesses. I've already brought the script. Why don't you just take a look?"

"What... I was just getting emotional." Sanzenin Nagi pouted, sat down again, and picked up the file folder on the table.

Seeing this, Klaus, who was pouring tea nearby, felt somewhat gratified.

Speaking of which, although the young lady can be a bit eccentric, she often shows no mercy to outsiders she doesn't respect.

It seems that this move was indeed the right one.

The young lady doesn't want to go to school. After all, the master is from a different generation and it's not easy for him to directly discipline her. In addition, he's busy with work and doesn't have the time.

Although Maria and the young lady were like sisters, Maria was, after all, a maid, so she could only hint at things indirectly and could not directly restrain her.

She herself was the same; after all, the butler was just a servant, and he couldn't force the young lady to go to school, nor could he say anything harsh to her.

But that's really not good. Staying at home all day reading novels, watching cartoons, and playing games will ruin a person in the long run.

Chapter 370 Is there a way to have the best of both worlds?

Huh...?

As she pulled out the first document from the file folder and lowered her head, a slight change occurred in the expression on Sanzenin Nagi's face.

Top Secret!

This word is so evocative that it makes you want to turn the page.

Gently turning the page, the name of Sanzenin Murasaki suddenly caught my eye on the first page.

Members of the Sanzenin family... Sanzenin Nagi's personal preferences... Investigation into the cause of death of her father, Shin Hayek.

As she turned the pages, Sanzenin Nagi unconsciously tightened her grip on the documents, causing them to wrinkle slightly.

So, was the father originally a thief, and only became the housekeeper after being chosen by the mother?

This matter definitely needs to be kept secret; if it gets out, it will damage my mother's reputation.

"Wait a minute, isn't Ayasaki Hayate, the one who won the championship before, Maria's younger brother?"

"Probably, this is just the detective's guess." Masamune nodded slightly. "If needed, we can go to Ayasaki Hayate's father for a paternity test."

This was actually added by Masamune himself.

Detective Kuroda's investigation was very detailed, but it wasn't enough to uncover something that happened fourteen years ago.

In order to correspond with the future ending of the animation and to avoid a sudden deus ex machina, it is necessary to lay the groundwork in advance.

Of course, in the first season, Hayate Ayasaki will definitely not acknowledge Maria.

"That's true. If I remember correctly, you said at the event that Ayasaki Hayate's parents were working to pay off their debts?"

“That’s right. On the afternoon of the last day of the event, the Fujiwara family took over Ayasaki’s parents’ debts. Of course, they were still grounded and strictly controlled, and the fact that they needed to work to pay off the debts remained unchanged.”

Sanzenin Nagi pondered for a few seconds, then sighed:

"It seems we can't tell Maria about this yet. I'll subtly probe her again later to see what she really thinks of her parents."

"Those kinds of parents are worse than no parents at all."

"If we really acknowledge each other, it will only hurt her. If she has to pay off her parents' debts, then we'll be in trouble."

"As for Ayasaki, we'll see."

After turning the page and reading the entire investigation report, Sanzenin Nagi fell into a long silence.

"Your investigation was really thorough."

“In order to create a better story, we always need to do more preparation.” Masamune smiled. “I thought you would read the script first, so I put the investigation report at the bottom. I didn’t expect it to be the first one to be pulled out.”

"Didn't notice? Is this the script?"

Nagi Sanzenin retrieved the script from the file and continued reviewing it.
