"Very good, Mogami-kun." Tonegawa Yukio smiled, "With such a high sense of responsibility and self-discipline, and such a strong will and determination, you will definitely have a bright future just like me."

"Can I take that as bragging?" Mogami Jun asked back bluntly. "Anyway, I don't feel like I'm being complimented."

“Humph…hahahaha…hahahaha…you still look down on my achievements?” Tonegawa Yukio was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter. He then glanced at Mogami Kiyoshi who was in the driver’s seat and said, “It’s a pity that I don’t have children, otherwise it would be nice for them to be friends.”

"Who can you blame if you don't get married?" Saigami Qing finally spoke.

"Okay, stop the car. I have to go back." After laughing for a while, Yukio Tonegawa said goodbye.

The car stopped immediately and Yukio Tonegawa opened the door and walked out.

The Tone River disappeared, but the smell of smoke still remained in the carriage, reminding the father and son of the presence of the man.

Saigami Qing started the car again, but this time he drove back, apparently intending to take his son back.

"Do you know him?" After a long silence, Jun Mogami asked dryly.

"Yes, we have known each other for a long time. We were not in the same class back then, but we were in the same grade and interacted with each other quite a lot. I guess we have some friendship." Said Zuo Shangqing.

"..."

After learning the inside story, Jun Mogami suddenly doubted the significance of taking the risk and gambling with Hyoudou Takako.

But if you think about it carefully, my father must have used all his connections at that time. If Yukio Tonegawa was willing to help, or if his help was useful, my father would have solved it himself long ago, without having to wait for me.

However, it is understandable that Yukio Tonegawa treats him so well, after all, he is the son of an old friend.

But there was something he didn't quite understand.

"Why did you bring him to me?" he asked in a low voice.

"My son is involved with some inexplicable family. As a father, shouldn't I intervene?" Saigami Qing asked. "Or should I just stand aside and let you do whatever you want?"

A strange family...it all comes down to this.

My father doesn't like Sagihara-senpai... Jun Mogami realized this fact again.

This is quite normal.

In his and his grandfather's view, the existence of Senior Sagihara interfered with their painstakingly planned plans, so how could they possibly like her?

"If you hate the Sagihara family so much, why did you let me agree to it just now?" Mogami Jun smiled bitterly and asked again.

Before his father could answer, he suddenly understood something.

"If I interfere with you, you won't agree? You will definitely agree." Saigami Qing also smiled bitterly. "If you are willing to listen to me, there will be less trouble."

After a pause, he spoke again, "I can help you solve that problem, I can also support Sagihara Shion, I can even help her with her future employment, but - you have to promise me that you will not waste your time and feelings on her anymore. So far, what else can she bring you except trouble?"

As expected, it was indeed so. Mogami Jun felt sorry for himself for being so "wise" in predicting things.

"So this is some kind of exchange, right? If I want to protect my senior, I have to leave her, like some kind of tragic script?" Mogami Jun smiled bitterly again.

"Many people will be confused in their youth and young adulthood, but they will eventually wake up. It's nothing, just a little bit of nonsense. Everyone has some." Saigami Qing replied calmly, "You won't be the first, and you certainly won't be the last. You will handle this matter very properly."

"Have you ever had this experience in the past?" Mogami Jun asked back.

"I didn't." Saigami Qing answered immediately, "Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have some regrets."

"Yeah, I'm sorry too." Mogami Jun nodded, "Can you please park nearby? I'll walk the rest of the way back."

"Jun!" Mogami Kiyoshi raised his voice, "Can't you think about everyone else?"

"I know what you're thinking, but I don't have to obey whatever you say, right? I'm old enough to have my own ideas." Mogami Jun answered without giving in. "I can do it without you. If you want to scare your son with that old bastard Sagihara Masao, then I can only say that you're totally wrong, Dad. You underestimated me!"

"That's a dangerous criminal! And there are other people helping him!" Saigami Qing slammed the brakes, turned around and shouted to his son.

"I've seen scarier people before, so why should I worry about something like this?" Mogami Jun looked at his father calmly.

Because he stopped the car suddenly, the cars behind him honked their horns and drove around him, but neither the father nor the son paid any attention.

There was another moment of silence.

After a long time, a bitter smile appeared on Zuishangqing's face.

"Yes, there are many terrible people in the world, and what's even more terrible is that the more magnificent a place is, the more such people there are. The most terrible thing is that people don't think it's terrible at all, and have accepted it as an iron law of nature. Do you remember the metaphor I told you?"

"Sheep and shepherd?" Jun Mogami thought for a moment and then answered.

"Yes, sheep are always sheep without knowing it, but the shepherds are always there, sharpening their knives. I can see them sharpening their knives every day, either through collecting taxes or through national debt, but who can sense it?"

Then he took a deep breath. "If shepherds really have some magical powers that are unattainable, then it's fine, and everyone can accept their fate and serve them for the rest of their lives - but they don't! They are not worthy of anyone's worship! They are nothing more than a group of ordinary people, and they are not necessarily better than me in terms of talent and ability. Just because they were born in the right place, they have the magical powers of shepherds. Is there anything more terrible and ridiculous in the world than this?

You probably know the prime minister's family background, but you may not know his cabinet ministers. There is a minister named Kato Katsunobu. His original name was not Kato, but Miyazaki Katsunobu. He just worked as a secretary for Kato Junzuki, a big boss of the ruling party at the time, and then married Kato Junzuki's daughter. Then he changed his name to Kato Katsunobu, and he was able to rise to the top and become a member of parliament. Finally, he became a minister, and he was above everyone else. Would you feel convinced by such a person? Do you think he deserves your admiration? You won't, because I won't either! "

He took a few more breaths and calmed down his mood. "I was respectful to every important person in the government office, but I never looked up to them in my heart. In my eyes, they are nothing more than a group of mediocre people who were put in that position by chance. Some relied on reincarnation, some relied on nepotism. No matter what they relied on, they are not worthy of worship. Only those fools would think that the people above know everything and can do everything better than them. They just accepted their fate... But you don't have to accept your fate!"

Then, he reached out and patted his son's shoulder. "You are already very close to all of this. You just need to keep stepping on our shoulders and keep working hard! You just need to take each step correctly. What is there to be afraid of?!"

"You are already very close to these things. You just need to keep standing on our shoulders and keep working hard! You just need to take every step correctly. What is there to be afraid of?!"

In the busy street, Saigami Qing stopped and excitedly taught his son a lesson.

At this moment, he was not angry with his son, but was venting the resentment and expectations that had accumulated in his heart for many years.

He has always had a very high opinion of himself, and for many years he has lived a very self-disciplined, even ascetic life, with only one goal, which is to stand out in the government.

However, after years of ups and downs, his wishes have been dashed and he can only be inferior to others and be respectful to the bigwigs at the higher levels. But deep in his heart, his pride has not been completely worn away, so he despises those who stand higher than him, thinking that they are nothing great compared to himself.

This pride also made him more tormented, and he had to live in this torment every day.

Of course, he did not lose himself in loss and anger, nor gave up on himself. He calmly recognized the current situation and placed his hopes on his son. To him, his son's path was not just his own, it was as if he was walking it again.

So he could not tolerate his son going astray, and no one could pay the price anymore.

While his father was lecturing him, Jun Mogami did not say anything, but just listened quietly.

He knew that what his father said was true.

The parliament and the cabinet are full of sons of aristocratic families, and there are also sons-in-law who marry into the family or even change their surnames. This is not the first time in Japan. For example, wasn't Shintaro Abe, the father of the current prime minister, the son-in-law carefully cultivated by former prime minister Nobusuke Kishi? Otherwise, how could he have become the foreign minister?

What's so special about them, except that they happened to be born in a good place? If they were really so special, how could Japan become what it is today?

So, if they can rise to the top with their abilities, then why can't others do the same? How can Mogami Kiyoshi, who worked hard to get into the University of Tokyo and worked diligently for decades, be worse than them? Mogami Jun didn't believe it.

It was natural for Saigami Qing to feel unconvinced.

As he said, if you really give in, you'd be a fool.

However, even though he agreed with his father's general principles, Mogami Jun was somewhat dissatisfied with his father's specific practices. He did not think that he needed to be like Miyazaki Katsunobu, the current Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, Kato Katsunobu, and rely on being someone else's son-in-law to get to the top.

If he really wants to get married, it is only for his own happy future life, not for so many calculations of benefits.

After witnessing his father and mother's marriage for twenty years, this was the only thing he could never give in to his father on, and he never wanted to repeat it again.

The silence between father and son lasted for a while.

Finally, Zuishangqing slowly calmed down his emotions and calmed down again.

"I'm sorry, Chun." He rarely apologized to his son. "I shouldn't have been so harsh with you. No matter how you look at it, you've done well. At least you're good enough for me to brag to others. Maybe it's because you're outstanding that I placed more hope on you. So much hope has become a huge pressure that you can't bear, and it has made you rebellious. I usually neglect your psychological education, which is also my mistake."

After blaming himself for a few sentences, he sighed again, "I know that since this is your own life, you should have your own control - but as a parent, I can't just ignore it and let it go. I can't watch you willfully put yourself in danger. You want to be a hero, which is normal. Every young person wants to do this, but... this idea is ultimately just a fantasy of a young person who is ignorant of the world."

"So, you won't agree with Sagihara-senpai no matter what?" Mogami Jun asked back.

"Yes, no." Saigami Qing nodded. "This has nothing to do with the Izumo family. Even if this didn't happen, I wouldn't agree to it. She is the daughter of a criminal. I know this has nothing to do with her. She is even a victim. However, it will affect you anyway, so I absolutely cannot agree to it."

"Since you graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo, you should know that she has no legal joint liability for her father's crimes, right?" Mogami Jun couldn't help but sneer, "When did Japan start to punish people by association?"

"The law is the law, and society is society. There are also unspoken rules outside of the law, and you understand them yourself." Saigami Qing answered without hesitation.

"But mom has a different opinion." Mogami Jun suddenly replied, "Mom has a very good impression of her."

"What?!" A trace of astonishment flashed across Zui Shangqing's face, and then the astonishment turned into anger, "This asshole! She always causes trouble for others!"

Once again, Saigami Kiyoshi scolded his wife in front of his son.

He was beyond angry.

It's not that he has no self-control, it's just that he can't stand it anymore. Sayuki goes against him in almost everything. Twenty years of marriage has accumulated too much anger for him, so much so that he can lose his temper in front of his son in such a disgraceful manner.

Mom, I'm sorry. I'm using you as a shield again. I hope you won't be angry then... Jun Mogami apologized to his mother in his heart.

In fact, when his mother met Sagihara-senpai, the atmosphere was far from pleasant, but Saigami Kiyoshi was used to his wife going against him, so he didn't notice it.

But she was already used to quarreling with her father, so one more reason to quarrel wouldn't matter.

"No matter what Sayuki says, I won't agree with it. It's that simple." Saigami Qing's anger dissipated and he regained control of his emotions. "I absolutely don't think she is right for you."

“But she has been trying hard…”

"Maybe she is a good kid, but it doesn't matter. No one can change anything." Saigami Qing interrupted his son and answered firmly, "Many things in the world are like this."

It seems that it is useless to speak well of or defend the senior sister, as my father has already made the decision.

And it was an expected decision.

Jun Mogami knew that his father was angry, so he didn't say anything more. No matter what his father's opinion was, he was not going to change himself.

"Then you should also know how I will answer." He lowered his head and ended the conversation. "Please open the door."

"Chun!" Saigami Qing shouted again, seemingly with some reluctance.

"Dad, I know that all your plans are ultimately for me. I have always obeyed you, going from here to there, learning this and that according to your arrangements. What else can I do? Since you gave me a life and raised me, I have the obligation to act according to your orders. I accept this obligation--" Mogami Jun turned his head and looked at his father seriously, "But, there is only one thing. I just want to arrange it for myself. I have made up my mind, so you can't shake me. If I really like Sagihara-senpai, then no one can pull me away from her. Not to mention that a mere Sagihara Masao can't scare me, you can't scare me either. It's that simple!"

"You..." Mogami Qing's face turned pale, his breathing became rapid, and for a moment he subconsciously wanted to stand up from his seat, but because he was tightly fastened by the seat belt, he could only continue to sit slumped in the driver's seat, glaring at his son.

(3④2967④65)

Just by looking at his face, you can tell how disappointed he is with his friend.

"So, please don't say anything more. Just leave these things to me. When I make a decision one day, it will be the final decision. No matter how much you say now, it will be useless." Under the pressure from his father, Mogami Jun still smiled slightly, "Let's talk about this today. I'll go back first. When the adult from the Izumo family wants to see me, you can take me there--"

Saigami Qing's breathing was still quite rapid, and he seemed to want to say something, but looking at his son's eyes, he ended up saying nothing.

He seemed to have sensed that something was different about his son today.

Although he was very tough on himself, at least he had not completely rejected it yet.

Maybe he is also trying to figure out his future choices now.

Should I have some more faith in him? Should I believe in the education I have been instilling in him for more than ten years?

He was a little unconfident, but now it seemed that he had no choice but to believe.

Finally, he pressed hard and unlocked the car door.

Young people will eventually grow up.

"Thank you." Jun Mogami thanked him first, then opened the car door and returned to the street.

Mogami Qing still stayed in the driver's seat, watching his son disappear into the dark night sky. He sat there blankly for a while.

There was a paper box on the cart platform, which contained the food his son had just bought. He picked up a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, as if he wanted to use this method to relieve the depression in his heart.

Finally, he started the car again and drove back to the house where he was now the only one living there.

Today will be another lonely night for him.

Jun Mogami did not hear the sound of the car starting, he just paced slowly under the night sky.

Of course, even though it was night, there were lights everywhere, and this big city didn’t give people the freedom to get lost.

His mood was not as calm and composed as he seemed. Just now in front of his father, he was just using this forced calmness to maintain his pride.

In fact he was a little depressed.

He knew why his father did all this, so he didn't have many rebellious thoughts, and he didn't want to make his father angry at all, but sometimes people have to do things they don't want to do.

Because if he didn't do that, then Senior Sagihara would be abandoned.

He knew that his father's promise was valid, and as long as he stayed away from the senior sister, he would definitely compensate him. According to him, there were many such things, and everyone would naturally understand it tacitly.

But... even if her father could give her some material rewards or help her with her future, what would that mean to Senior Sister Luyuan? She was abandoned again, abandoned by the whole world, and what was worse was that she might have to face more malice.
