Kerry mentally explained to the group what the Kengan Association was.
In Kerry's view, the existence of this thing is quite abstract, but it is somewhat reasonable to say that it is completely abstract.
After all, if all businessmen in the country resolve commercial disputes in the same way, it can indeed protect them from foreign capital intrusion and a certain degree of monopoly. It's just that the fact that this method of resolving disputes involves underground boxing is a bit strange.
After listening, everyone said they understood.
[Sato Kazuma: I see]
Only Xiangzi was a little confused, because she had never heard of such a thing.
However, she wasn't strictly groomed to be an heir. She had plenty of free time to develop her interests, and her family arranged mostly artsy courses like piano for her, so it's normal that she didn't know.
After expressing his understanding, Kirito raised a question.
[Kiritani Kazuto: Wait, did she just say "visit"?]
[Sato Kazuma: It really is true. After Kerry explained it, I thought he was inviting us to a black boxing match.]
Erina's back ached from maintaining a slightly bent-over posture after finishing her conversation outside.
She had expected them to say something and discuss it, but instead, they all sat there in a daze without saying a word.
She was caught in a dilemma: whether to stand up or ask the other person what they thought.
The secretary next to her was also getting a little anxious.
Kazuma finally asked the question before Erina's back gave out.
"Let me confirm, you mean a visit?"
Erina straightened up and spoke solemnly to the group.
"That's right, it's a visit. We at Totsuki have contacted many parties, all hoping that you can be VIPs and representatives of various business groups to take a cruise to Kengan Island for a vacation, rest there for a few days, and also visit this year's Kengan Tournament."
Of course, if you are willing to come, we, as the inviting party, will also prepare generous rewards for you.
After hearing Erina's explanation, I finally understood.
[Sato Kazuma: That sounds nice, inviting us to visit, but who offers payment for a visit?]
Isn't this basically inviting us to go and protect them? And it's not just one family's idea, it's many families. It seems they're all afraid of something going wrong.
[Kirigaya Kazuto: Don't you ever take vacations? What do you think?]
[Toyokawa Shoko: I don't have anything urgent to do, it's up to you guys.]
[Sato Kazuma: Heh heh! Since it's a visit, and everyone here is a boss of a big corporation or conglomerate, their level of enjoyment must be top-notch! Anyway, we're quite full from our meal and on vacation, so why don't we go?]
The last few people turned their attention to Kerry.
Kerry: Let's go then.
"Alright, the boarding location and time."
Kerry speaks in reality.
"The time will be three days from now, on the night of [date]."
Erina Nakiri felt that this matter should at least be discussed internally.
To everyone's surprise, Kerry agreed immediately, and the others didn't seem to have any objections either.
"The location is Chiba Port. If you need, our Totsuki Group can dispatch a private car for you."
"Then you can arrange it as you see fit."
Kerry waved casually.
Kazuma also asked a question: "By the way, will the cruise ship provide all the necessary daily necessities?"
"Yes, they will. The Kengan Association will make the preparations."
Erina Nakiri agreed, though she always felt like she was being treated like a servant.
She was filled with resentment, but considering her grandfather's demands on her, and his solemn instruction that this was a test for her, she still managed to give a respectful and defiant answer.
However, she wasn't a very shrewd person. As the commander-in-chief, she wasn't experienced enough, and anyone could see her reluctance.
Kerry and Kazuma then exchanged a glance.
"Okay, you go down."
"Then go and do it."
Damn it!
Erina Nakiri has become popular!
Her long legs, encased in black stockings, trembled slightly. She clenched her fists, her face flushed, and in the end, she could only grit her teeth and say one sentence.
"Alright, welcome to our esteemed guests. All the meals during your journey will be provided by our Totsuki Group."
After saying that, he turned and left. His secretary quickly bowed and followed him out.
"Hahaha!"
"a ha ha ha!"
Cheerful laughter came from inside the house.
Xiangzi glanced at the two people, Keli and the other, who were laughing happily, and at Kirito, who was still confused about the situation, and sighed slightly.
"Honestly, she is a young lady from Totsuki Academy, can't you be a little more polite?"
Shaking his head, Xiangzi glanced at the time and decided to visit his father again tomorrow, and also tell him that he was going out again.
She put on her little leather shoes and left the house.
After laughing for a while, Kerry and Kazuma carried the ladder and went out with Kirito to install surveillance cameras.
I never expected to run into an acquaintance as soon as I stepped out.
"Oh, two advisors."
A head popped out from behind a telephone pole and suddenly spoke, almost causing the two people carrying the ladder to shove it into their heads, but luckily they managed to stop in time.
It took the two of them a while to realize that it was Nao Satsuka, the girl whose house they had forcibly occupied multiple times in Totsuki.
Looking at the Totsuki summer uniform she was wearing, Kerry expressed his regret that this amazing lesbian hadn't been expelled from Totsuki yet.
"Hey! I gave up a whole 20 minutes to greet you all instead of following Erina-sama! Is this how you treat me?"
Muttering angrily, Nao Satsuka glanced at her phone, seemingly checking the location of the tracker, before speeding off on her bicycle.
Right now, in the cheap rental room next door.
Xiangzi's father strangely withdrew his resentful gaze from the next room.
"What exactly do those guys next door do? That logo on that car, is it from the Far Moon Group?"
204
Chapter 204 Boarding the Ship.
Before leaving, Erina left four gold-embossed invitations for the group.
Expanding the list reveals a long list of invitations.
Tokyo Electric Power Company, Fuji Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Sanzenin Group, International Fantasy Entertainment, Nendoroid, Shinomiya Group, Shijo Group, Shichijo Group, Daidouji Toys, Sootome Group, Arasaka Group, Totsuki Group, Morinaga...
A quick glance reveals a cluster of long-established companies, a veritable gathering of talent. Further down, you can also see "new" companies like "Rect" Japan Jr. Railways, which only emerged in the last 30 years. Yes, given the rigid class structure in Japan, 30 years is indeed considered new. Even companies like Yamato Transport (Black Cat Delivery Service) date back to the early 20th century.
"Wow! That's an exaggeration!"
Kazuma sighed as he looked at the long list.
It's a pity Xiangzi didn't look carefully, otherwise she probably could have found her family's name in the lower middle part of the text.
For those high-society gatherings, only Kazuma was really excited, jumping around excitedly. Kirito himself didn't care that much about these things. Shoko had also attended similar gatherings before. As for Kerry... to him, this level was far from being considered high-society.
The next day, in a cheap rental room.
With a frown, Xiangzi walked into the house and glanced at his father, who had been woken up by the sound of the door opening but was still somewhat disoriented.
"Father, I've booked a regular housekeeping service for you. Remember to open the door when it's time to go."
By the way, I have to go on another business trip. Did you still have the money from last time?
Xiangzi spoke while tidying up the room a little.
"without……"
Xiangzi's father first turned over while lying down, and realized it was his daughter... He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xiangzi as if he were sitting up in shock from a terminal illness.
"Xiangzi?! Where...where are you going again?"
Where I go is none of your business, Father.
Xiangzi, wanting to vent his dissatisfaction, made a sarcastic remark about his father.
"Xiangzi! Don't hang out with those kids next door! And don't worry about me! Go home early..."
Hearing his father's words, Xiangzi paused in his tidying up, then shook his head.
Go back? I can't go back anymore.
Whether it's living with friends or just being an ordinary human being.
"Xiangzi! Don't worry about me! Seeing you like this makes me so angry!"
He couldn't imagine why his daughter would go to such lengths for him. Instead of living the life of a pampered young lady, she dropped out of school and now runs around next door every day carrying a musical instrument bag, earning money to support herself.
Xiangzi ignored him.
Watching Xiangzi's retreating figure as he packed his things without turning back, he finally lost his temper.
He grabbed a beer can from the ground, pinched it, and smashed it at Xiangzi.
"Snapped!"
Without turning his head, Xiangzi reached out and steadily caught the beer can.
Then he threw it in the opposite direction, hitting his own father so hard that he closed his eyes and cried out in pain.
“If you don’t want to do this, Father, you can go out and find a job to get back on your feet, or start a business again. I can also support you with the start-up capital.”
