In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Although this seems like a family matter for the Shinomiya family, his daughter almost lost her life because of it today. As a father, he couldn't possibly not stand up for his daughter.

Inside the office, Shinomiya Hikari closed the door, blocking the view of others, and then spoke impatiently:

"Father, I..."

Shinomiya Gan'an sat down on the sofa, calmly interrupting him, and said in a light tone:

"Explain why such a serious mistake occurred during the sacrificial ritual."

"..."

Huang Guang was silent for a moment, then explained in a low voice:

"I couldn't find a suitable offering..."

Shigu Yan'an's gaze was icy:

"Haven't you found her? Or do you not want to look for her? You want to kill your sister, don't you?"

Huang Guang's heart tightened immediately, and he explained in a deep voice:

"Father, you know me."

"Although I've never liked her, she is, after all, a member of the Shinomiya family. If something happens to her at a school under my jurisdiction, I will be the one who suffers the most!"

"A very convincing explanation."

Shinomiya Yan'an nodded slightly, but then changed the subject: "But I don't believe it."

“I don’t believe it either.” Kashiwagi Masao sneered.

Shi Gong Huangguang was speechless at this sentence, and had no choice but to explain in detail:

“Father, President Kashiwagi, although I am the one managing Shuchiin Academy, you should know that the Lake God’s appetite has grown bigger and bigger in recent years. Although I have been trying my best to find a suitable sacrifice, I am still missing a suitable shrine maiden.”

"And that girl named Koyasu Tsubame just happened to meet the lake god's requirements. Originally, only her sacrifice was needed for the blessing ceremony to proceed smoothly. In other words, this matter wouldn't have involved Kaguya and President Kashiwagi's daughter..."

After a pause, Shinomiya Huangguang did not continue.

Kashiwagi Masao also fell silent.

They were all fully aware of the existence of the lake god within Shuchiin Academy.

The lake god existed long before the school was founded, and the entire Shuchiin Academy was established because of the lake god. Every year, freshmen of the pure academy organize an entrance ceremony to "cleanse the swamp," which is essentially a sacrificial and blessing ceremony for the "lake god."

As long as a suitable offering is made, the lake god will bless the students of the Pure Academy. The blessed students will be protected by the lake god and will no longer have to worry about the danger of being harassed by evil spirits.

The fact that these families have been able to thrive for hundreds of years, even growing larger and larger, is inseparable from the protection of the lake god.

Of course, not all parents of students in the college are aware of this.

Only a few ancient families, whose lineage has lasted for hundreds of years and who truly stand at the top of Japanese society, are qualified to know about the existence of the Lake God.

For example, the Shinomiya family, and the Kashiwagi family.

The girl named Zi'an Yan, although also a student at the Pure Academy, had a father who was merely a regional manager for a large catering company. They had no right to know about the Lake God, so even if Zi'an Yan was secretly sacrificed, they would only assume she had accidentally fallen into the water and drowned.

In other words, according to the theory of the Four Palaces Yellow Light.

If Kaguya Shinomiya hadn't jumped into the water to save someone without permission, none of the subsequent events would have happened.

Chapter 25 I know faith is important

Shinomiya Hikari calmly accepted his father's scrutinizing gaze, because he had a clear conscience.

Tsubame Koyasu's father was also a student at Shuchiin Academy.

However, at that time he was a student in a mixed college, and students in mixed colleges at that time would also participate in the enrollment activities of clearing the swamp.

Unaware of the existence of the Lake God, he basked in the blessings of the Lake God along with other students from the Pure College. His rise from a student in a mixed college to the manager of a large catering company was also largely thanks to the Pure College's promotion.

Even his daughter has now transformed into a student at the academy.

Isn't it reasonable for his daughter to pay the price for all that he has gained?

The reason things got out of control was ultimately Kaguya Shinomiya's fault!

Masao Kashiwagi remained silent in response to the views expressed by Hikari Shinomiya.

If Kaguya Shinomiya hadn't recklessly jumped into the water to save someone, leading to her being used as a sacrifice by the lake god, then her daughter Nagisa Kashiwagi wouldn't have jumped in to save someone either, and wouldn't have almost been in danger of being used as a sacrifice by the lake god...

"idiot!"

Shinomiya Gan'an roared in anger, like a lion in a fit of rage:

"Who gave you permission to use students from the Pure Academy as sacrifices?"

"Father's words are correct."

Huang Guang dared not refute, and bowed his head in agreement.

Shigu Yan'an's tone was icy:

You will bear the consequences of this alone.

“Give that student named Zian Yan enough compensation to her father.”

"Yes."

"And Kaguya, allocate a portion of your assets to her."

"Yes."

Huang Guang remained respectful and dared not disobey in the slightest.

Kashiwagi Masao spoke softly:

"What about my daughter? What compensation are you going to give her?"

Shinomiya Yan'an chuckled, but Shinomiya Huangguang spoke calmly:

"Speaking of President Kashiwagi's daughter, there is something else I need Ms. Kashiwagi's help with."

"what's up?"

Kashiwagi Masao looked wary. "Nagisa was frightened and needs to rest for a few days. What do you want to ask?"

Huang Guang, from the Four Palaces, dared not be negligent and explained carefully:

“I just asked Kaguya, and she knows nothing about the Lake God or the person who saved her. The only one who knows who that person is is Ms. Kashiwagi. She is the only one who has been conscious, so she should remember what that person looks like.”

"To find him, we need Miss Kashiwagi's help."

Kashiwagi Masao frowned, and he had also sent someone to inquire about the students who were watching.

The other person entered the water from the other side of the swamp, at the same time as his daughter, Kashiwagi Nagisa. This caused everyone else's attention to be drawn to Kashiwagi Nagisa, preventing them from seeing the other person's face clearly.

Furthermore, the other party had taken off their clothes beforehand, making it even more difficult to determine their identity.

The only certainty is that since the other party was able to save Kaguya Shinomiya and the other two from the Lake God, they must be a powerful Onmyoji! In other words, even if their initial goal was to save people, they must already know about the Lake God's existence!

This is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger for them.

Shinomiya Gan'an clearly knew his son's ways, and a cold smile appeared on his face:

"Find him, and then what? Kill him?"

Shinomiya Kōkō remained silent, but it was clear that this was what he was thinking. The safest course of action against someone who knew their secret was to have him eliminated!

Shinomiya Gan'an's eyes were filled with utter disappointment:

"If you're really going to do that, you should sever ties with the Shinomiya family as soon as possible."

The color of Shi Gong Huang Guang changed slightly; it was already quite severe for Shi Gong Yan An to say such a thing.

Severing ties with the Shinomiya family means he will completely lose his eligibility to compete for the position of the next head of the Shinomiya family!

Kashiwagi Masao tentatively asked:

"Could he come from a family of Onmyoji (yin-yang masters)?"

Shigu Yan'an glanced at him and said indifferently:

"I don't even know who he is, so how would I know these things?"

Kashiwagi Masao frowned:

"then you……"

Shi Gong Yan'an said calmly:

"The lake god is dead."

Kashiwagi Masao and Shinomiya Kiko both changed color, with Shinomiya Kiko blurting out:

"Impossible! I sent people to check on the Lake God. Although its strength has been damaged, it is definitely still alive!"

“I also sent people to check, and the lake god's aura is still there, how could he be dead?”

Kashiwagi Masao also raised questions, clearly finding it hard to believe.

A bitter smile involuntarily crept onto Shinomiya Yan'an's lips.

“I sent a powerful Onmyoji to check, and at first he also thought the Lake God was still alive. But later he discovered that what he sensed was just the residual aura of the Lake God. The Lake God’s true form had long since died.”

"Is the Lake God really dead?"

Kashiwagi Masao looked completely incredulous.

Shinomiya Gan'an ignored him, glancing at the dazed Shinomiya Koukou with increasingly disappointed eyes:

"Even if the Lake God didn't die, the fact that the Onmyoji was able to save Kaguya and the others from the Lake God and even escape unscathed proves his strength. For someone like that, the best course of action is to win him over; if that fails, then we can consider other options."

"But your first thought was to kill him to prevent future troubles. You really disappoint me."

Huang Guang, the fourth palace, finally panicked and hurriedly tried to remedy the situation:

"Father, I understand. I'll go and win him over right away!"

"enough."

Shinomiya Gan'an's expression grew increasingly disappointed, and the thought of 'abolishing the leader' even crossed his mind. He said indifferently:

"Your condition is no longer suitable for serving as the chairman of Shuchiin Academy. Let Unyo take over this position for now."

"Also, don't try to find out who that person is."

"Since he hasn't come looking for us, it means he's not our enemy."
