Yoshikage Kira pointed to Mai Sakurajima beside him.

Mai Sakurajima paused for a moment, then hesitantly pointed to herself:

"Huh? Me?"

"Correct."

Yoshikage Kira nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"You are her witch."

Mai Sakurajima's body trembled slightly.

Chapter 51 Shinomiya Un'yō tries to overtake on a curve

Shuchiin Academy, Chairman's Office.

Shinomiya Un'yō sat in the chairman's seat, outwardly calm but inwardly pleased.

In reality, Shuchiin Academy didn't have that many things that required his personal attention as the chairman. But he still came to Shuchiin Academy every day, sat in the chairman's seat, and pretended to handle some matters.

Because he wanted to demonstrate how much he valued the position and wanted to do everything he could to keep it.

There is no other reason.

If the Shinomiya family is a towering tree with lush branches and leaves, then Shuchiin Academy is the root system of that tree!

Shuchiin Academy was founded by the Edo Shogunate three hundred years ago.

The aim was to educate and train members of noble and samurai families, contributing to the development of the Edo Shogunate.

However, with the decline of the Tokugawa family, control of the school gradually shifted from the Tokugawa family to the Shinomiya family.

To the average person, Shuchiin Academy is simply a prestigious school with a long history. But for the Shinomiya family, it's more than just a school; it's a vast network of connections spanning all of Japan!

The reason is simple: the students of the Pure Academy are all born into wealthy and prestigious families and are destined to become talents who will bear the fate of the nation in the future.

Take a chestnut——

Of the 15 cabinet ministers in this government, including the current prime minister, eight graduated from Shuchiin Academy!

For example, this year's VIP class of Shujiwon also includes elites from all walks of life:

Dragon Ball Momo is the daughter of the leader of the Dragon Ball Group, Japan's largest large-scale violent gang.

Nagisa Kashiwagi, granddaughter of the chairman of the Keidanren (Republic of China Business Federation), is the daughter of the direct head of the Kashiwagi Foundation.

Atenbo Yume, granddaughter of the first-ranking official of the religious corporation 'Shrine Headquarters'—

The Shrine Headquarters is the largest Shinto religious body in Japan. Of the approximately 7 shrines in Japan, more than 9 belong to the Shrine Headquarters.

The Pure Rank is the highest rank of priesthood in Shintoism in Japan, and only those who have made great contributions to Shintoism can be called this rank.

Below the Pure Rank is the Bright Rank, and those at this rank are qualified to serve as the chief priests of various Beppo Shrines, which is the highest-ranking position in the shrines.

It is no exaggeration to say that Atenbo Yume's grandfather was a leading figure in Japanese Shintoism.

In addition, this year's VIPs include the son of the Chief of Staff of the Ground Self-Defense Force, the son of the Superintendent General of the Metropolitan Police Department, and the second prince of the Kingdom of Garuda Al-Azsam!

From the underworld, business, religion, military, police, and foreign affairs, Shuchiin Academy's VIP members are involved in every industry, almost destined to influence every aspect of Japanese society.

And once these people graduate, they will all become part of Kaguya Shinomiya's network.

And just like Kaguya Shinomiya, every member of the Shinomiya family is like that.

Both Shinomiya Hikari and Shinomiya Un'yō studied at Shuchiin Academy.

The connections they built during their school years have now become important bargaining chips in their competition for the position of head of the family.

If a pure college is like this, a mixed college certainly won't be too bad.

Although the students of the mixed college are of ordinary birth, they still have the opportunity to be absorbed and recruited by the students of the pure college after graduating from Shuchiin Academy, becoming their confidants and thus achieving a leap in social class and truly standing out from the crowd!

It is precisely because of the unique nature of Shuchiin Academy that the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of Shuchiin Academy is all the more important.

For the past hundred years, the position of chairman has usually been held only by the current head of the Shinomiya family or his successor.

Prior to this, the position was held by Shinomiya Kōmitsu, who was indeed the most promising candidate to succeed as head of the family.

But now, the chairman of the board is Shinomiya Un'taka!

Of course, Shinomiya Un'yō was not so arrogant as to think that being the chairman of the board would guarantee him the position of family head. After all, even Shinomiya Kōkō was stripped of his position as chairman by Shinomiya Gān'an, so what was he?

Even so, serving as chairman still brought great benefits to Shinomiya Un'taka.

So even though Shinomiya Un'yō had nothing to do, he still sat in this office on time every day. It wasn't because he was particularly idle, but because he hoped to do everything he could to keep his position.

But reality is often disappointing.

Although Shinomiya Un'yō was quite pleased with Shinomiya's pale and livid face, he was not actually that relaxed inside.

Because Shuchiin Academy's infrastructure is already quite complete, it can operate smoothly even without the chairman's interference. However, this also means that Shinomiya Un'taka's position could be replaced at any time. Even if Shinomiya Hikari doesn't have a chance to return to this position in the short term, the Shinomiya family doesn't only have two sons.

Shinomiya Huangguang's younger brother, Shinomiya Qinglong, had also long coveted the chairman's position. If Shinomiya Yunying made even the slightest mistake, he could be replaced by Shinomiya Qinglong, who was always watching him.

So even though Shinomiya Un'taka desperately wanted to achieve something to keep his position, he still did nothing.

He would rather do nothing than make a mistake.

Doing nothing at most means your position is unstable, but if you make a mistake, you will definitely be stripped of your position like Shinomiya Hiromitsu!

So Shinomiya Un'taka is actually in a dilemma right now.

On the one hand, he wanted to achieve something so that the Shinomiya family would not be able to easily replace him as chairman.

On the other hand, he was also afraid of making a mistake and being ousted from his position as chairman.

Ultimately, all of this stemmed from his lack of confidence in providing a satisfactory answer to Shinomiya Yan'an.

But now, this answer sheet has been delivered to our door.

In front of Shinomiya Un'taka, a girl with a Hime-style haircut held up a piece of white paper and pointed it at him.

However, Shinomiya Un'taka could not see Geng Xizi, so in his field of vision, he only saw a piece of white paper floating in mid-air, on which a line of delicate handwriting was written in black ink—

"Shinomiya Un'taka, my master wants to make a deal with you."

"What deal?"

Shinomiya Un'yō remained calm, despite his heavy heart.

It was daytime, but the room was dark and without a single ray of light; all that could be seen through the glass was a blur.

His phone was unusable, and his computer screen remained black.

Even the emergency call button he hid under the table didn't respond.

The entire room seemed to have been dragged into another dimension, completely isolated from the outside world.

In this situation, a piece of paper appeared out of thin air, floated in front of him, and said it wanted to make a deal with him.

Who wouldn't panic in that situation?

Geng Xizi put down the paper and wrote a line in the notebook in front of Shinomiya Un'taka—

“Build me a shrine at Shuchiin Academy.”

"shrine?"

Shi Gong Yunying raised an eyebrow.

For him, building a shrine wasn't difficult, but the problem was the location—

Shuchiin Academy.

Why was it specified that a shrine should be built within the Shuchiin Academy?

After a long silence, Shinomiya Yunying slowly spoke:

"I need to discuss this with my father."

He couldn't make a decision, nor did he want to agree to the deal so quickly.

Making a deal with a creature of unknown origin, possibly a ghost, is definitely not a wise choice.

Another line of text appeared on the notebook:

“This will not do you any harm. I need a shrine to offer my worship, and the Shinomiya family has just lost its own god. You are in dire need of a new god to provide you with protection.”

Si Gongyun's expression shifted slightly, but he asked calmly:

"Gods? What gods?"

Shinomiya Un'yō's heart was pounding. He realized that he had found the reason why Shinomiya Kōgō was dismissed from his post—this reason could not only make Shinomiya Kōgō dismissed from his post, but also allow him to completely secure his position!

Chapter 52 I made a pact with the gods, and the gods told me to go all in.

Sigong Yunying spoke in a low voice:

"I'm willing to cooperate with you, but I want you to tell me what's really going on!"

He knew this might anger the other party, but he absolutely could not agree to their conditions without a clear explanation.

He needs to know why!

Gods.

This term is not unfamiliar to Shinomiya Un'taka.

Shintoism is prevalent in Japan, with over 80,000 shrines nationwide, averaging one shrine for every 1500 people. Among these shrines, those under the jurisdiction of the Shrine Headquarters are called Beppu Shrines, while the others are independent shrines.

If we include the smaller shrines throughout the country, there are probably at least 300,000 shrines in Japan!

For Shinomiya Un'taka, who had received a modern elite education, the so-called gods were nothing but feudal superstition. Similarly, the ghosts, evil spirits, and monsters that corresponded to the gods also did not exist—this was what common sense told him.

However, what he is experiencing now clearly cannot be explained by science; it is a true supernatural phenomenon!

Now, the entity that caused all these supernatural phenomena is directly telling him that it wants to create a god.

Personally, Shinomiya Un'taka was interested in the proposal.

The main problem is that if you don't fall in love with him, you might never be able to leave this room.
