Only Pear Blossom had a misunderstanding, and she hurriedly spoke up.
"This is no small matter. If Lena and Satoko Hinamizawa Syndrome were to flare up, they might very well kill those two people!"
I really don't have any adults in Tokyo I can turn to for help, and my teachers at school don't seem to care about this either, so I have no choice but to ask you for your help. It won't be too much trouble! Just come with me to the police station and threaten those two people, and they should be scared off!
Please believe me!
Pear Blossom spoke with deep emotion, but the four people in the room looked at each other in bewilderment.
"We didn't say we didn't believe you."
Kerry removed his hand from Pear Blossom's head, puzzled.
"Huh? But...didn't you say you wanted me to go back?"
"Yeah, why don't we just go and kill those two scumbags?"
"yes,"
Kazuma nodded.
"Ahem, Rinka-chan, don't listen to Danzo's nonsense. We're just sending them somewhere else."
Xiangzi glared at Kerry, who always talked about killing people in front of children, and spoke gently to Lihua.
Alas, alas, alas?
Pear Blossom was shocked; it turned out she had made a mistake.
So he nodded repeatedly under Xiangzi's comforting gaze.
"That's great, big brother! It's good that you killed them! Thank you so much! I'll bring Satoko back tonight!"
Pear Blossom affectionately nuzzled Kerry's hand, then skipped away.
Xiangzi paused as he added sugar to his coffee.
Will this child's values be distorted by people like us?
These guys! The negative impact they have on teenagers is immeasurable!
Little did Xiangzi know that the centenarian was overjoyed to hear the news, as it meant she wouldn't have to worry anymore.
Just as the group found another trivial matter to pass the time, a major event occurred for the Japanese business community.
The reputation of the Totsuki Group, a leading restaurant chain, was severely damaged due to the liquidation of some companies related to Shiki. The downfall of the Tokyo Group and some of the zaibatsu that supported it, as well as the inexplicable blows from the United States after the typhoon incident, further exacerbated the situation.
Japanese businesses and the stock market once entered a period of stagnation.
With all the major powers suffering heavy losses, someone seized the opportunity to launch a competition for the position of president of the Kengan Association.
As mentioned before, some of the mid-sized and middle-level conglomerates in this world have joined an organization called the Kengan Association. Its main purpose is to prevent commercial competition. If commercial competition leads to everyone lowering prices and competing for services and products, it will benefit consumers, but it will only make the big shots suffer.
Everyone finds someone to resolve the issue through underground boxing matches. If they win, they simply follow the pre-agreed ruling and that's it. Acquisitions are made where necessary, and cross-shareholdings are accepted where appropriate.
The election for president was initiated by a company with a good market value. The company would dissolve if it failed, and the competition would be held to re-elect the president of the business association.
This kind of thing naturally wouldn't affect conglomerates of the caliber of the Genmaki family; it's just a few Japanese businessmen causing a commotion.
However, it still has a certain influence on some upper-level groups, but not to that extent.
For example, at this time in Kita Ward, Tokyo, not far from where Kerry and his friends lived, south of Asukayama Park, in a Western-style building opposite the Kita Ward City Hall, Xiangzi's maternal grandfather, whom he called his grandfather, was looking at relevant documents with a serious expression.
"Xiangzi hasn't contacted us yet? This is outrageous! And that man is outrageous too! Does he think he can keep clinging to the Fengchuan family by relying on his daughter?! He can't even get Xiangzi back!"
Although he was looking at documents, the old man didn't seem to care about them; instead, he was asking about his granddaughter's situation.
"Sorry, no. Besides, it seems the government is intentionally concealing the incident between Ms. Xiangzi and Akabane."
Although the secretary did nothing wrong, she immediately apologized.
The "Akaba incident" was, of course, referring to the cult's disturbance in the streets. He couldn't possibly be unaware of such a major incident that occurred in his granddaughter's neighborhood, especially since Xiangzi had come to see him afterward.
However, the government has been deliberately concealing information about Xiangzi ever since, but a series of major business events have left him with no time to deal with them.
The question was asked casually, but given the scale of the Kengan Association, the Toyokawa Foundation couldn't possibly remain uninvolved, and it's expected that he will be going there soon.
However, on the other side, another grandfather was also worrying about this matter.
"Grandfather, why can't we just invite those two advisors from last time to participate in this Kengoku Association?"
Erina Nakiri looked at Senzaemon Nakiri with a questioning expression.
"If we invite them to participate, people will go crazy."
However, I'm not comfortable letting you go by yourself. Let me see if my old face is still of any use... If possible, it would be best to invite them over as guests, just to avoid any unexpected incidents.
In recent years, Japan has seen an increase in such filthy practices; who knows, someone might try to use something shady at the conference. Those in the know would likely agree that someone is watching.
200
Chapter 200 Lord Danzo, when did you arrive?
While the entire Japanese business community was nervously preparing to attend the conference.
Kerry and his friends, however, were relaxing at home waiting for dinner.
Perhaps Kerry could tolerate the endless hunt, but for the others, not only was this kind of unnecessary trouble necessary to avoid mental health issues, but also regular relaxation was essential.
Although it doesn't really matter if they don't eat, at least the taste on their tongues can give them the illusion that they might still be human.
"We're here!"
At 4:30 pm, Rika, who had just finished school at Haneoka Junior High School, dragged Satoko to a few people's houses.
"Hey, I never thought you little brat would be afraid of people."
Satoko used to joke around with everyone, so Kazuma teased her when he saw her.
Kazuma had expected to receive a reply like, "You nobodies! You nobodies! I'm fine!"
After a long while without any movement, Kazuma put down the soup spoon he was using and looked at it in confusion.
They saw the once arrogant little devil now hiding behind Pear Blossom, not daring to utter a single word.
"Hey? What's wrong with her?"
Kazuma raised one eyebrow and asked a question in surprise.
“Shaduzi had a fight with her uncle when he came to visit her. He said a lot of hurtful things to her and then beat her. She’s been like that ever since and doesn’t dare to talk to people much.”
Pear Blossom touched her friend's forehead with a hint of affection.
"I...I'm fine...I'm not afraid of Teppei..."
Satoko muttered a rebuttal in a low voice from the side.
Hearing that she could at least keep up her act, He Zhen's brows relaxed, and she continued simmering the soup.
"Thank you so much. You can go to Lena's house later; they should be here soon."
Rika spoke from the other side, then turned to look at Satoko as if she were educating a child.
"Satoko, remember to thank your older brothers and sisters."
"Woo..."
Upon hearing Yui say that someone had arrived, Kirito disconnected from the game and returned to reality, going downstairs.
Hearing the commotion, Kerry also closed his magic book and locked it back in the safe.
The group went downstairs one after another, and soon after, Xiangzi, who had gone next door to confirm that his father was still alive, also arrived.
"Well, why don't you guys go take a look first? Dinner isn't that early."
He Zhen mentioned it once everyone had arrived.
"alright."
Kerry agreed and slung the guitar bag over his shoulder.
"It's better to resolve this sooner rather than later."
Xiangzi glanced at Shaduzi, who was hiding next to Lihua looking weak, pitiful, and helpless, and then slung his keyboard bag over his shoulder.
Led by Pear Blossom, the group set off and circled around before arriving at the Dragon Palace Residence.
It is a detached house that is much smaller than a house for several people.
It's estimated that they bought it cheaply after receiving the compensation.
After Pear Blossom knocked on the door, Lena opened it.
"Oh, pear blossom jam, sago jam... huh?"
First she saw pear blossoms, then she looked up and saw several familiar musicians behind her.
"It's...it's you?!"
Lena was somewhat surprised; she didn't know that Kerry and the others actually lived here.
Lena really couldn't forget these people, even if she wanted to. The Hinamizawa group even built a wooden statue of the four of them in the center of their new village in Hokkaido.
The governor of Hokkaido, who accepted them, thought it was some kind of rare faith.
"What are you...?"
Lena tilted her head strangely, but immediately stepped aside, hurriedly closed the window, turned on the air conditioner, and took out barley tea from the refrigerator for everyone.
"Please come in, gentlemen. My father is not home. May I ask what brings you here? If you are looking for my father, I will certainly pass on your message."
After discovering that there were no gods involved, this somewhat eccentric girl became quite normal.
"Didn't Lena's father just arrive in Tokyo and not find a job yet?"
Pear Blossom casually asked a question.
"Um……"
Lena tilted her head. She didn't know why, but when Pear Blossom and the others arrived, they asked about them first.
"Didn't I tell Rinka-chan before that Dad seems to be considering remarriage? He went on a date with Aunt Ritsuko."
But you wouldn't understand even if I told you this, Little Pear Blossom.
Seeing that Lena's expression was normal, Rika breathed a sigh of relief.
