Why is the Demon King like this?

Chapter 94 The Remaining Letter

"You mean to say that Arisugawa deliberately lost the match?" she asked in a rare, cheerful tone.

"It wouldn't be fair to say it was intentional."

Keisuke Ao shook his head: "I'm just not as serious as I am during training."

"Ah—you even trained specifically for this?"

"President, your expression looks terrible."

"I was just thinking about happy things."

"I guess what made the president happy has something to do with me." Aoki Keisuke got up and picked up a file box from the bookshelf to pass the time.

"The Moon and Sixpence" was left in the classroom; I didn't bring it with me.

Hoshino Fujiko glanced at the box he was holding and said, "If we don't use such disgusting language..."

"It was an honor to create such happy memories with the president."

"Please don't use any more disgusting language." President Hoshino's expression finally returned to normal, and he decisively ended the topic before Keisuke Ao could come up with any more disrespectful thoughts.

Of course, she thought she had found another weakness in Keisuke Ao, a weakness that seemed both ridiculous and realistic to her.

This appearance made the image of Qing Keijie, who was floating in the sky and difficult to see clearly, feel slightly more real.

"Aren't you going to continue looking at Fujita Momoharu's file?" she asked, turning the question around.

"Does the company president want me to witness her?"

As Keisuke Ao answered, he thought to himself—perhaps this question-and-answer format between him and Hoshino might have to continue until he lost interest in Hoshino.

"Whatever you want." That was Hoshino's answer.

But Keisuke Ao believed that what he said was the answer Hoshino wanted to hear.

So, before he even sat down, he went back to the bookshelf and replaced the file in his hand with one belonging to Fujita Momoharu.

"President, you're really not being frank."

Surprisingly, Hoshino Fujiko wasn't angry at Ao Keisuke's teasing. Instead, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Yeah, in that respect, I'm definitely not as good as you."

Keisuke Ao raised an eyebrow, opened the file box, and took out the second letter sent by Momoharu Fujita.

"You two must have met before this letter, right?"

In her first letter, Fujita Momoharu requested a meeting with Hoshino Fujiko, hoping to receive assistance from the Hoshino family.

Since the file box is here, Hoshino's choice back then is self-evident.

"Mmm," she replied in a nasal voice.

"What happened back then?" Keisuke Ao asked as he opened the letter.

"Can't you even compare it with other records?"

"Is the president's mouth more precious than gold? Besides, it's just casual conversation."

Keisuke Ao turned his head and carefully examined Fujiko Hoshino's delicate pink lips.

Hoshino Fujiko decisively covered her mouth with a book, her brows furrowed, her eyes icy: "All your words are just to openly cast lewd glances, as expected of you, Keisuke Ao."

"Although it's a slander, thank you for the compliment."

Aokiji opened the letter.

"To Sister Hoshino: I finally calmed down after our detailed discussion a couple of days ago."

You are right. I do not have any concrete evidence yet, and my request for help from you is only based on my guess.

I will investigate my father’s abnormality further, but I am still hesitant about whether to ask my brother for help.

Wishing you good health.

Why has Fujita Momoharu been unwilling to contact her brother?

"She's a very assertive person when she talks about her older brother," President Hoshino summarized in one sentence.

"Brother complex?" Aoki Keisuke further refined the term—a word he had learned from Nakagawa Yuto.

She is one of the XP members of the sports committee.

In other words, Yuto Nakagawa is a disgusting siscon.

Although he had no sister, nor any cousins ​​in the blood sense.

Hoshino Fujiko stared at Ao Keisuke with an expression that seemed to say, "You're really clueless," as if blaming him for being foolish enough to bring such a thing to the forefront.

"Ah—ah—"

Aokiji sighed twice as if in surrender, realizing he had said the wrong thing, and quickly opened the third letter.

"Thank you for arranging this event, which forced my father to temporarily leave the shrine. Starting tomorrow, I will sneak in and thoroughly investigate the areas that are normally inaccessible."

My brother seems to have noticed something strange about me lately. Hoshino-neechan, should I tell him the truth?

Behind all this beauty lies a fragmented and broken reality; I simply cannot bear to let my brother experience such pain.

The next letter was the fourth and final one. It wasn't wrapped in an envelope; it was just a page torn from a notebook, with obvious creases, as if it had been crumpled into a ball.

On the pale yellow pages, Fujita Momoharu wrote in a slightly hurried manner with a pencil: "This is terrible, Hoshino-neechan. Because Father wasn't home, I let my guard down, and as a result, my brother cornered me at the shrine!"

He pressed me for details about what had happened, and I could no longer hide it from him, so I had to tell him the truth. My brother's face immediately turned very ugly.

He then asked me if anyone else knew about this. I was startled, but I remembered your instructions and didn't mention the help the Hoshino family had given me. I only told him that I had reported it to the authorities.

It's a little embarrassing to admit, but my brother hugged me, comforted me, and cried while holding me, saying he would handle the matter—that was the most reassuring moment I had experienced during that time.

Next, I will follow your previous instructions and, after being exposed, will no longer contact you in a similar manner, and will wait unilaterally for your message.

Thank you again for your generous help. Wishing you good health.

Keisuke Ao read the last letter carefully again, but offered no comment.

The subsequent materials were documents compiled from Hoshino's perspective, which laid out the entire incident in a complete manner, including the Garden Shrine incident.

"These documents are classified even within the Alliance, right?"

"I wrote it myself; it has nothing to do with them."

Upon hearing this, Qing Guijie nodded and said, "That makes sense."

If it weren't for the fact that the Shinichi Cult later targeted the Hanazono Shrine, and that Hoshino was secretly involved in this incident, it would have been a perfect resolution.

Keisuke Aokiji was satisfied with the documents and put them back in the file box.

"By the way, club president, our class has a basketball game this afternoon, and we're playing against your class. Want to come cheer me on?"

To shorten the competition, the six second-grade classes were divided into two groups of three classes each by drawing lots.

Each class plays against two teams, and the top team in each group competes for first place. The total competition only requires a maximum of three matches, which perfectly matches the schedule of the ball skills tournament.

To this, Fujiko Hoshino asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why would I want to watch a bunch of monkeys climbing trees?"

She paused for a moment, then quickly put on a smile and said, "I take back what I said earlier. If I'm in the mood, I'll go. I'll invite Arisugawa-san to come along."
