"Miss Tsubaki spreads her arms wide. 'Don't you know who's standing in front of you? I'm the most powerful priestess of this era. With such powerful spiritual energy, no special barrier or area can stop me.'"
Since she said that, Shirogane Miyuki simply conceded, "If that's what you say, then let's give it a try. However, I think you'd better be prepared for failure."
"Hmph~"
"Miss Chun hummed twice, her overflowing confidence speaking for itself."
"Kikyo once, hometown twice, what is it that makes you so disrespectful to me? Just watch, being the best in the world isn't just a title."
She waved her hand dismissively, warning, "And by the way, you're not allowed to mention that Kikyo to me again, nor are you allowed to see her. I am the strongest and most beautiful shrine maiden. Remember that well, Miyuki!"
"This guy's personality is such that he's easily jealous of other amazing and beautiful girls."
"Shirogane Miyuki thought to himself, but on the surface, he just gave a perfunctory 'uh-huh' and brushed it off."
"...I'm going to part ways with this companion who I found at first glance and felt was really good. Thinking about this makes me very unhappy."
She pressed on aggressively: "I'm telling you, I've told you so much about myself, but you've been hiding things from me, barely telling me anything about your past. Don't you think that's going too far?"
"You're just showing off." Shirogane Miyuki rubbed his forehead. In just a few days, he had heard Miss Tsubaki talk about how amazing she was as a child and how much she amazed everyone.
"So, did you feel wronged when you heard about my glorious achievements as a child, when people praised my extraordinary talents?"
"I've already sampled far too many." Shirogane Miyuki couldn't help but complain... He was upright, polite, and dignified when facing normal people, but he was quite different when it came to the still-childish Tsubaki-san.
"It's like when he sees Shijo Maki's various tsundere behaviors in Shuchiin, he reacts differently than usual and can't help but criticize her to her face."
"You're saying this? This isn't just ordinary rebellion; we have to crack down hard! It's not fair to only listen to me; today I'm going to hear your past!"
"Miss Tsubaki hummed, releasing her shikigami to bind Shirogane Miyuki, and gave him a condition, 'Speak, do you want to stay here and enjoy the night breeze, or do you want to honestly confess?'"
"Shirogane Miyuki didn't really want to talk about it... Tsubaki, who has a slightly strong personality, pursed her lips, and after some hesitation, impulsively cast a spell on him to make it easier for him to confide in her."
"Shirogane Miyuki then began to talk about one of the important things he always kept in mind."
"That's a secret between Miyuki Shirogane and Yu Ishigami."
"His student council accountant, Yu Ishigami, once saw a scumbag who liked to play with girls' bodies trick a girl named Otomo into becoming his girlfriend when he was in junior high school."
"Afterwards, he planned to remove Dayou's hymen, and even had the idea of using Dayou as a toy and inviting his cronies to play with Dayou together."
"At that time, Yu Ishigami was furious. He couldn't stand the other party's dirty behavior, so he beat him up in front of everyone."
"The other party then turned the tables and accused Ishigami Yu of being jealous of him, which is why he hit him... Otomo believed the other party's words and hated Ishigami from then on."
"The school also asked Ishigami to write an apology letter, but for the sake of Otomo's reputation, Ishigami was unwilling to make public the fact that she was a plaything of a scumbag. Therefore, in terms of public opinion and morality, he was the one in the wrong."
"But he didn't want to apologize to that jerk... so he was ordered to temporarily suspend his studies and stay home."
"At that time, after investigating with Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara, Miyuki Shirogane discovered the truth behind the incident, and thus he strode into Yu Ishigami's world."
He told Ishigami Yu, "You are a very gentle man."
"He brought glory to Ishigami and even hired him as the secretary of the Shuchiin High School student council. With the student council as his backing, those who ridiculed him dared not do so openly anymore."
"...At that time, Shirogane Miyuki had done all he could."
"However, he would still feel regret, because he wanted Otomo to stop hating Ishigami; that would be a perfect ending. But besides telling Otomo the truth, how could he achieve that conclusion?"
"Shirogane Miyuki is still thinking about it. However, he is now at a point where even if he comes up with a way, he can't do it, so it has become a very regrettable matter."
"That's all he told Miss Tsubaki."
518. Improvement and Correction
In the video, Miyuki Shirogane is pouring out his heart.
Outside the video, Kyoko Otomo was completely stunned. Her mind went blank, as if she had been punched hard, and she was in a state of extreme confusion.
If Shirogane Miyuki were to come to her to clarify the truth, even with highly credible information and evidence, she, with her preconceived notions, would absolutely not believe a single thing about him.
She might even give Shirogane Miyuki a good scolding, which would only strengthen her feelings for her ex-boyfriend.
Because she hates Ishigami Yu so much right now, she thinks he's the kind of despicable guy who would smear others, and since Shirogane Miyuki is in cahoots with Ishigami Yu, he can't be any better.
However, Shirogane Miyuki didn't come to talk to her; instead, he confided in someone who had nothing to do with Otomo Kyoko.
If this is fake, why would Shirogane Miyuki go to all this trouble? ... Judging from his actions of saving Di Nian'er and forgiving the painter, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would distort the truth.
Why would he tell such a lie during the Warring States period? Was he trying to fool the blind?
Kyoko Otomo trembled involuntarily, a preconceived notion in her heart being shaken, leaving her feeling lost and uncertain.
The most basic logical problem made it impossible for her to deny the truth of Shirogane Miyuki's words... Extending from this, she thought about what she had done to Ishigami Yu afterward, and Otomo Kyoko almost suffocated.
"If this is true, then what have I been doing all this time? How am I any different from that hellish painter?"
A mix of regret, fear, and other complex emotions washed over her like a raging storm, leaving Kyoko Otomo crouching down, burying her face in her hands, unwilling to face reality.
Her friends around her didn't know how to comfort her... because the person who needed comforting wasn't Otomo, but the real victim, Ishigami Yu.
"So, in the end, it was exposed after all?" Far away in the Shuchiin Student Council, Ishigami Yu closed his eyes, looking rather unhappy.
He didn't see himself as a victim, since it was his own insistence on not telling Kyoko Otomo the truth.
"Sorry, it's because I wasn't tight-lipped."
Shirogane Miyuki sighed, about to apologize and make amends, when he saw his accountant shake his head: "If it weren't for the shrine maiden Tsubaki's spell, you wouldn't have done this, Master."
"Moreover," Ishigami Yu revealed a mocking smile, as if kicking someone when they're down, "since it's already been made public, there's nothing we can do about it. On the bright side, it's not without its benefits; at the very least, that scumbag is definitely finished."
For a moment, Miyuki Shirogane, Kaguya Shinomiya, and Chika Fujiwara all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Because all three of them knew very well that this benefit had actually been delivered two years ago. After discovering the truth, Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara used their family's influence to treat that scumbag to a very good meal.
So much so that they're all in a slightly awkward position now.
Unlike the three who were in cahoots, Iino Miko, who knew nothing, was now crying her eyes out, as if she had watched fifty-two episodes of a melodramatic love story, "Waaah, you're so pitiful, Ishigami!"
"Don't talk like I'm dead, hey!"
Two years ago, Iino Miko went to the school to argue her case and try to get leniency for Ishigami Yu.
But at the time, she didn't know the truth or the inside story; she just based her opinion on the fact that Ishigami Yu couldn't be that dirty. Now, it turns out she wasn't wrong about him.
Iino Miko was deeply moved and gratified. Her small stature radiated maternal warmth, and she refrained from verbally abusing Ishigami Yu as she usually did.
"Hmm, he has a good heart, but his actions are too impulsive."
Holding Beatrice in his arms, Hachiman Hikigaya commented with great interest, "Actually, he could have done something about it. Since he's already damaged his reputation, he should at least drag Otomo's boyfriend down with him and take them both down with him."
It's not necessary to tell everyone "he's playing with Kyoko Otomo".
Because a scumbag will definitely have other bad habits and flaws, it's easy to expose him as a bad person by exploiting those flaws.
In this way, Kyoko Otomo will take the initiative to break up with him, and no one else will be bewitched by this scumbag. This is the only way to solve the problem once and for all.
While Ishigami Yu's approach temporarily stopped the other party, it actually strengthened the other party's positive impression on Otomo Kyoko.
Without external intervention, while Ishigami Yu was suspended from school and staying at home, that scumbag could have already slept with Otomo Kyoko. In that case, there would have been no protection at all.
Hachiman Hikigaya thought for a moment about the correct approach.
…Of course, dealing with a simple-minded scumbag doesn't require risking your own life; Hachiman Hikigaya isn't that weak.
He simply used the scene of Ishigami Yu impulsively hitting someone as a basis, and then introduced "Hachiman Hikigaya, who was still in the Service Club before the time travel" to make further deductions.
If he were in his current state, even if he were powerless, he could easily reverse his own tarnished reputation while exposing the scumbag.
While criticizing the approach, Hachiman Hikigaya was not trying to belittle Yu Ishigami; on the contrary, he held Yu Ishigami in high regard.
"It's impulsive, but this impulse is also a treasure unique to the man named Ishigami Yu, a priceless treasure."
…While everyone was discussing Yu Ishigami, Kyoko Otomo, and the scumbag, the Shinomiya family had already sensed a business opportunity and immediately wrote an article and then pushed it out extensively.
On the internet, they clearly tell everyone that Kaguya Shinomiya, the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, is kind-hearted. As early as when she found out the truth, she restored justice to the world and punished her ex-boyfriend, Otomo.
By capitalizing on this trending topic, the Shinomiya Group's brand awareness and reputation will soar, making people more willing to buy products produced by the Shinomiya Group.
And that's how the money came in.
As for why internet access is possible, it's because since energy sources began projecting light screens into the Earth's sky, Zhijiu has relaxed restrictions on mobile phones.
According to changes and differences, we make positive changes to keep pace with the times... This change is also reflected in the fact that the priestess Tsubaki, Sesshomaru and others have the memories of the appearance of Shirogane Miyuki fifty years ago, even before the world has been integrated.
On the other hand, after discovering the Shinomiya family's speculative business practices, Kaguya Shinomiya used this as leverage to restrict the Shinomiya Zaibatsu.
She made three demands: First, all members of the Shinomiya family must improve their conduct and not be morally flawed.
Secondly, the quality of the products sold must be guaranteed, and unreasonable price increases should not be made just because the products are popular.
Third, normal business competition is acceptable, but do not use malicious and unscrupulous means to force others into bankruptcy and debt, unless the other party is also a malicious and unscrupulous corporate tycoon.
Kaguya Shinomiya's older brothers were not keen on accepting the three conditions, but times had changed, and now Kaguya was the eldest in the Shinomiya family.
Therefore, they could only reluctantly nod, abandoning their previous villainous behavior.
518. Repent and reform
