My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

"what?"

Kiyoura Mai was completely stunned, never expecting that Saionji Sekai would actually pass away before the two ladies.

You should know that after the two wives made a promise with Takayanagi Ichiro last time, they arranged to meet him this time, planning to take action only after the shrine performance ended.

But now Saionji Odori says that Saionji Sekai has already taken action, how could she not be surprised?

Furthermore, Kiyoura Mai doesn't believe that Saionji Odori would lie about such a thing. Although Saionji Odori and Saionji Sekai occasionally have minor disagreements, the bond between them as mother and daughter is genuine.

Since Saionji Eiko can say that, it means that she really does have some evidence.

Instead of stopping her daughter, Saionji Odori persuaded Kiyoura Mai to support her daughter.

"Things are changing too fast over there, I don't even know how to probe them anymore."

Previously, Kiyoura Setsuna and Takayanagi Ichiro were somewhat at odds.

However, the peaceful situation between the two just now left Kiyoura Mai puzzled.

Moreover, even if Kiyoura Setsuna had something on her mind, she was willing to communicate with Saionji Sekai and Saionji Odori, but she communicated relatively little with their biological mother.

That's why Kiyoura Mai wouldn't make any decisions for her daughter.

"Mai, then you don't need to make decisions for Setsuna. Just watch them develop quietly and don't do anything to stop them."

Knowing that her best friend had completely agreed with her temperament, Saionji Yoko breathed a sigh of relief.

Saionji Odori had this idea because she learned more about the situation from Katsura Manami.

Katsura Manami not only gave herself to Takayanagi Ichiro, but her two daughters also had a close relationship with him.

Furthermore, Saionji Sekai has stated that she is good friends with Katsura Manami's daughter at school and often asks her for advice.

Since Katsura Manami was capable of doing such a thing, Saionji Odori thought she could too, and decided to bring Kiyoura Mai along as well.

"I see."

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

After Saionji Sekai and Kiyoura Setsuna finished their conversation, Kiyoura Setsuna, having already grasped a great deal of knowledge, blushed even more.

She never imagined that her simple intimate encounter with Takayanagi Ichiro would involve so many twists and turns.

However, Saionji Sekai and Takayanagi Ichiro only had that one intimate encounter, and her rich experience was very likely learned from Katsura Kotonoha.

The sounds from the floats suddenly stopped, and Kiyoura Setsuna also stopped studying, then looked at the crowd in front of her.

The sound stopping signifies that the float will no longer scatter amulets downwards.

There were just too many people ahead of me, since many people believe that the amulet is effective.

However, it didn't take long before Kiyoura Setsuna watched as Takayanagi Ichiro easily walked through the crowd and headed towards them.

However, Kiyoura Setsuna was not too happy, because Takayanagi Ichiro's expression was too relaxed, as if he were just crossing the street in the early morning, and there was no trace of the movement left by snatching the amulet.

Kiyoura Setsuna didn't show her emotions on her face, because Takayanagi Ichiro personally squeezed into the crowd to help her grab the amulet, which was already a very good thing.

"Brother Gaoliu, if you have obtained the peace charm, please take it out and give it to Setsuna, otherwise she will cry."

Saionji Sekai had complete trust in Takayanagi Ichiro, believing that he would definitely gain something from the experience.

The reason he adopted such a relaxed posture was likely because he wanted to tease Kiyoura Setsuna.

The two ladies, Saionji Odori and Kiyoura Mai, also gathered around, wanting to see if Takayanagi Ichiro had made any progress.

Because when they came here before, even though they knew that Kiyoura Setsuna wanted those peace charms, they had never managed to snatch one.

Of course, it's impossible to privately ask the shrine for it or trade it with others, as that would seem insincere.

"I didn't manage to snag a single amulet."

To Saionji Sekai's surprise, Takayanagi Ichiro actually admitted that he hadn't managed to snag a single amulet.

"Takayanagi-kun, it's already quite an effort for you to squeeze into the crowd at the front."

Furthermore, the villagers in the surrounding area have a high demand for these amulets and certainly don't want them to be taken away by outsiders.

Although there are some things her daughter wouldn't discuss with her, Kiyoura Mai understands her daughter's personality quite well, so she immediately tried to ease the tension.

"I said I didn't manage to grab a single amulet because I actually managed to grab four."

Takayanagi Ichiro glanced at Kiyoura Setsuna and realized that she really did seem a little aggrieved, so he decided to stop teasing her.

He simply opened his hand, and inside were four peace charms.

"what……"

Kiyoura Setsuna was already very disappointed because she had once again missed out on the good luck charm.

But now, seeing the four amulets in Takayanagi Ichiro's palm, she immediately changed her attitude, screamed, and grabbed the amulets from Takayanagi Ichiro's hand.

Then she rushed into Takayanagi Ichiro's arms and hugged him tightly.

Chapter 660 The Secret of the Two Wives

Kiyoura Setsuna was so excited because this amulet was extremely important to her.

When the girls came here before, they also thought about trying to steal the amulet's owner.

However, they were all weak women and could not compare with the villagers here at all, so they could not receive any peace and blessing charms.

Furthermore, one cannot ask the shrine for or trade with it, as that would appear insincere.

This time, Ichiro Takayanagi squeezed through the crowd and successfully brought back the amulet.

And there were several of them, which is why Kiyoura Setsuna was so excited.

This shows that Ichiro Takayanagi took her request to heart and would take action.

Seeing her daughter's actions, Kiyoura Mai did not stop her, and gradually understood why Saionji Odori had been so hostile towards her before.

As they get older, even if Ichiro Takayanagi doesn't force them to leave, they will choose to leave on their own.

However, this should not sever the relationship between Takayanagi Ichiro and these two families. Having his two daughters fill the gap is the most correct thing to do.

Previously, Kiyoura Mai had been worried that there might be some distance between her daughter and Takayanagi Ichiro, but now, after seeing her daughter take the initiative to throw herself into his arms, she no longer had any such worries.

"Setsuna, if you're happy, you should kiss Brother Gaoliu. After all, he helped you solve a big problem."

Seeing her best friend throw herself at the boy she liked, Saionji Sekai didn't feel angry at all.

Because she had said long ago that Kiyoura Setsuna must join forces with her to compete with the other women around Takayanagi Ichiro.

Although Kiyoura Setsuna agreed before, she wasn't the best kind of person.

Now, with the amulet's catalysis, Kiyoura Setsuna will definitely be willing to join forces with me.

Upon hearing Saionji Sekai's words, Kiyoura Setsuna instinctively wanted to give Takayanagi Ichiro a kiss, but immediately stopped herself.

If it were just the three of them at the scene, doing this kind of thing in front of their good friends wouldn't be a big deal.

But right now we're at the shrine performance venue, and behind us are not only Saionji Odori and Kiyoura Mai, but also some villagers who have come to watch the shrine performance.

So Kiyoura Setsuna, who was a bit shy, couldn't do such a thing, and her face immediately turned red, as if she regretted what she had just done.

"Let's go, now that we have the amulet, we can continue our tour with the floats."

The beautiful young girl slid off him, but Ichiro Takayanagi felt no disappointment, for he knew there was plenty of time.

Because the float performance is supposed to circle the shrine three times, and this is only the first lap, they can continue to follow behind the float.

"No need. We will only throw the amulets when we are about to reach the finish line on the first lap."

After receiving the blessing of peace, a large number of viewers will go to other places to find the best spot to watch the fireworks.

Only a small number of people from the lower ranks will follow behind the floats and swim all three laps.

Kiyoura Setsuna was still blushing, so she left the explanation to Saionji Sekai.

"Doesn't Setsuna really like this kind of thing? She should be considered one of the devout types, right?"

"I quite like this folk custom, but I won't be foolish enough to follow the float around three times."

Let's find the best spot to watch the fireworks now, otherwise many people will take all the seats.

Takayanagi Ichiro still remembers some of her hobbies, which deeply moved Kiyoura Setsuna.

However, she did not require everyone to circle the float three times; instead, she asked everyone to find the best spot to watch the fireworks.

They weren't just out to see the parade; they also needed to see the fireworks and enjoy the hot springs. She couldn't just think of herself.

Now that Takayanagi Ichiro remembers her hobbies and even managed to snatch a lucky charm for her, she is already very satisfied, and her impression of Takayanagi Ichiro has undergone a complete transformation.

So now she should be thinking about how other people feel, instead of monopolizing Takayanagi Ichiro to serve her alone.

Takayanagi Ichiro glanced at the line ahead and, sure enough, noticed that the number of people had drastically decreased.

This shows that what Saionji Sekai and Kiyoura Setsuna said was absolutely correct; those people had changed their targets after obtaining the peace charms.

“Takayanagi-kun, we already chose the spot to watch the fireworks, and we’ve been in the same spot for years.”

“We are not very familiar with the people in the village, but we all keep to ourselves, so they shouldn’t take over our fireworks viewing spot.”

At this moment, the two ladies, Saionji Odori and Kiyoura Mai, stepped forward to make their presence known.

Otherwise, this trip would have turned into a complete exchange between Takayanagi Ichiro and two female high school students.

Although they have certain plans for the future, intending for their daughter to take over their lives.

But they are still in the prime of their lives, so of course they will not admit defeat, even when it comes to their own daughters.

"Let's go then. It's been a long time since I've seen a fireworks display."

Since he didn't intend to waste time on the parade floats, Ichiro Takayanagi wouldn't force himself to join them again. It would be much more pleasant to wait for the fireworks display with the beautiful women around him.

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

There were indeed many people watching the fireworks display, while Saionji Odori and Kiyoura Mai led Takayanagi Ichiro's men to a rather secluded place.

The reason we chose this spot is because there are two wooden stools here.

"We used to think about helping Setsuna grab some amulets, so we followed behind the floats, wasting a lot of our energy."

That's why I chose to watch the fireworks here where there are benches, and I can also take a break at the same time.
