The strongest high school student in Japan

So, what should I say?

Comfort her? But even a light comfort seemed meaningless.

"Thank you for your hard work all along, Asana." This was all he could say in the end.

"It's not that hard, actually. My parents still love me and have been doing their best to raise me... Compared to many other people, I'm already very lucky. At least I'm grateful for their kindness in raising me." Asana replied with a smile. "In fact, I've always thought that if there were no constraints of Grandpa's will, our relationship would be much more normal..."

Her laughter made Mogami Jun feel even more uncomfortable.

But he also admitted that the other party had a point.

Ultimately, it was the conflict between the previous generation of the head of the family and the current generation of the head of the family that resulted in the tragedy being passed on to the next generation, Asana.

But no matter what, since it has become a reality, there is no point in being miserable and entangled.

"Asana, do you want to restore the father-daughter relationship by abandoning the will and make the root of all troubles disappear?" he asked immediately.

Asana was silent for a moment, then answered.

"Anyway, those things should have belonged to my father...it doesn't matter if I return them to him, right?"

"Then have you ever understood your grandfather's feelings? Why did your grandfather insist on making things difficult for his own son before he passed away and make that will? Even as an outsider, I can see clearly that he believed that your father was incapable of running the family business and maintaining the family, so he simply placed his hopes on you... In other words, what he entrusted to you was not just money, but his hopes for the entire family. Do you think he really likes to create a gap between your two generations? If there were other ways, I'm afraid he wouldn't do this, right? So, you are his last hope--"

After a pause, he continued, "I met your father today. To be honest, although we had a quarrel, I don't hate him that much. He is knowledgeable, witty, and has very elegant hobbies, but all these advantages are of no help in running the family business. I don't know the specific details of your family, but when I heard the older generation chatting, they all had complaints about your father's ability in this regard, so it is understandable that your grandfather left such a will at the time..."

"You can't say that about my father in front of me." Asana interrupted him sullenly. "No matter what, as his daughter, I won't allow anyone to say that about him in front of me."

"Okay, sorry, I have no intention of insulting or slandering anyone. I'm just stating the outside world's opinion. Maybe this opinion is wrong, but since everyone says so, there must be some basis for it." Mogami Jun took a step back.

But in his heart, he did not feel sorry. On the contrary, he felt that his words were euphemistic enough, and if he told the truth it would probably be even more unpleasant.

"So, if you lightly destroy grandpa's will, then you will be violating the old man's last wish before he died. I don't know if it's a good thing, but you must be aware of this. Of course, if you must do this, I will never stop you. Asana, face your own heart, then make a choice, and then bear all the consequences of your choice. Life is as simple as that."

“Terrible…” Asana’s breathing became a little rapid, and he seemed to be in a state of confusion. “I have seen your eloquence during the debate competition, but when you really said it, I could really feel the courage. You are so good at persuading people…”

"I just like to face the truth. Most people can actually see the truth, but they are unwilling to accept it for various reasons, and you are the same." Mogami Jun smiled, "But to be honest, you are already amazing. You can still keep yourself positive and optimistic in this situation..."

"If you keep thinking about those annoying things, you won't solve anything. It will only make you fall into the quagmire and unable to extricate yourself. Compared to that, I would rather spend time happily with my friends." Asana also smiled bitterly helplessly, "I don't have the same skills and willpower as you, but I can still pretend to ignore it..."

"Even if we praise each other like this, it won't solve any problems." Mogami Jun laughed even louder, "Of course, thank you for praising me so much, I will take it as a sincere compliment."

After all, they were young and could quickly recover their composure. Before they knew it, the tension and uneasiness that had just permeated the two of them gradually dissipated.

Jun Mogami now understood that Asana was not completely ignorant of everything. On the contrary, she was smart enough to know where she was and what she was facing.

So there wasn't much he could do but wait for Asana's final decision.

If Asana chose to directly disobey her grandfather's will and leave the property to her parents, then there would be no need for her parents to urge her to get married. Although this might seem a bit weak, it might not be the worst outcome. He didn't need to do anything more.

But if Asana chooses to stick to her principles and stick to her grandfather's last wish, and not give her grandfather's inheritance to her father to squander, then he will come in handy. He will help Asana out of her predicament, no matter what method he uses, anyway, he will never let her be thrown to someone else by her parents at will.

Before she made her decision, Mogami Jun was not in a hurry to urge her. She thought that it was up to Asana to make the decision herself.

"Then... don't you have any other reasons?" At this moment, Asana lowered her voice again, and her already soft voice was now almost as thin as a mosquito's whisper. "Have you ever felt lucky that you could reject the Izumo family with such a reasonable excuse?"

Eh?

What does this question mean?

Jun Mogami really didn't understand this.

"To be honest, I didn't feel lucky. On the contrary, my father scolded me." He smiled bitterly and said, "He was disappointed. Do you want to know why he was disappointed?"

"If you think it's inappropriate, it's okay if you don't tell me—" Asana seemed to have noticed something and suddenly tried to stop him. "Stop talking!"

"No, I want to tell you! Since it has come to this, I think I should tell you the truth." Mogami Jun still insisted, "He has always wanted to push this matter forward, and his goal is to get those properties through you, so when he learned about your father's plan, he was furious. I'm sorry that we approached you with such a sinister intention."

He knew that these words might make the other party unhappy, but now that he was already encouraging Asana to confront his parents, he should not hide this matter, otherwise it would be seen as having bad intentions.

But he didn't expect that suddenly there were several inhalations on the phone, almost like sobbing.

"Asana, are you okay?" Mogami Jun was a little worried.

Why was she so excited? He didn't quite understand.

"Why do you have to tell me all this? Don't you think I can't think of it? It's normal, isn't it? Isn't this the purpose of those who want to marry into the Izumo family? What do you have to apologize for? Isn't it better to just pretend that no one knows..." Asana asked Mogami Jun intermittently, "He did it for you, right? What's wrong with a father making plans for his son... What's the problem with doing this?"

"Thank you for being so generous." Mogami Jun breathed a sigh of relief, "Also, don't cry, I told you this because I want you to know everything."

"I know, I know! Izumo Asana is just a kid who is ordered around by everyone. She knows nothing and is no match for others. She is good for nothing except the inheritance. People only approach her for money... I know all this, why do you keep reminding me..." Asana finally started crying, "Why don't you just let me pretend that I know nothing?"

"Asana... stop." While she was venting, Mogami Jun called out to her.

Seeing that the other party still had no intention of stopping, he raised his voice and yelled again, "Asana! Stop!"

Asana finally stopped.

"I know you're in a bad mood right now. If you want to vent, just vent to me. Anyway, I gave you too much of a blow today." Mogami Jun tried to keep himself calm and said, "But please don't belittle yourself like this, it will hurt my heart. Izumo Asana is a very lovely person. I admire her very much and even have some respect for her now. Even if she doesn't have a penny now, I am willing to continue to be friends with her and help her. I sincerely hope that she can have a bright future. She deserves it!"

Although these words sounded a bit corny, Jun Mogami felt that they were speaking from the heart.

After all, Senior Sagihara had no money, but he helped her anyway.

So this is definitely not a lie or deception.

"You're lying! Then why did you reject me at the beginning!" Asana asked indignantly.

"...I've already explained the reason before. Can't you just forget about it?" Mogami Jun sighed.

"No, I won't forget! I will remember it for the rest of my life!" Asana answered loudly, "Anyway, you didn't take me seriously from the beginning, right?"

"I admit that I rejected you at the beginning, and I am really sorry for you, but now I am doing all these things for you. Please don't doubt my intentions, okay? Otherwise, I will be very sad." Mogami Jun replied helplessly, "If I really had any bad intentions, I would not quarrel with your father anymore, right?"

"Well, if you don't want me to doubt you, just tell me directly and I'll do as you say." Asana suddenly replied.

………………What happened to her? Mogami Jun still couldn’t figure it out.

Forget it, there's no point in thinking so much.

After a moment's silence, Jun Mogami spoke.

"Okay, please don't doubt me."

"Well, I definitely don't doubt Jun!" Asana replied immediately. "He's really willing to help me..."

"Although I don't know what exactly happened, I think it's good this way. Let's continue with this certainty. It's good for both of us. Unnecessary suspicion and resentment will only make things worse." Mogami Jun sighed and looked out the window.

Wow, it’s already dark and the two of us have been talking on the phone for so long.

I'm a little hungry.

Besides, enough has been said, it's time to end it.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. If there are any changes in the future, we can communicate with each other--" He was ready to say goodbye.

"Wait..." Izumo Asana suddenly interrupted him.

"Is there anything else?" Jun Mogami asked curiously.

"Can we meet again?" Asana asked cautiously, "It seems like we've never really met each other just once before... It's really hard to accept this."

Time to continue recommending books, as usual, I would like to thank Duanmu...

I recommend this book "The Witch Lady Wants Me to Confess". The young man does his best to fulfill the wishes of the girls, and then plunders their lives, taking away equally precious things, and lives a life intertwined with reality and fantasy, daily life and abnormality. Anime female characters + unit drama + romantic comedy + magic adaptation of classics.

"It seems like we have never really met each other just once... I feel very unwilling when I think about it."

Mogami Jun found it a little difficult to understand what Asana said, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she was not wrong.

The first time they met was at a shrine led by their respective mothers; the second time was when they met by chance at a girls' school; and the third time was when they met at their own school, and each time they were not alone.

2018-03-27

If we had to say there was a time when we were alone together, it was only the short half hour in the shrine and a walk around my school that afternoon.

They had never met just to meet alone.

So Asana was probably angry about this.

Is this question so important?

Asana's behavior just now made him a little confused about what the other party was thinking.

Are you angry?

This was a moment that affected her future, but our Miss Asana was still dwelling on such an insignificant matter! He was getting anxious.

But no matter what, since Asana said so, it would seem too ignorant for him to refuse sternly.

"Of course, I'd love to." Mogami Jun replied with a smile, "As long as you tell me the time and place, I'll definitely come!"

"You're not lying, are you?" Asana asked hesitantly.

Although he couldn't see Asana through the phone, Mogami Jun could imagine Asana's expression right now - probably a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

"Of course. Asana is so cute. Let alone meeting her once, I would be happy to meet her ten times or a hundred times if you wish!" Mogami Jun promised.

"Woo..." Asana let out a small scream.

Her breathing became a little disordered, and it took a moment for her to return to normal.

"I didn't expect...I didn't expect you to be able to coax people."

"In your eyes, am I an rude person who loses his temper easily?" Mogami Jun asked deliberately.

"That's not what I meant..." Asana denied hastily, "I just think you treat people very seriously and have a very strong personality. You have the courage to force others to follow you, just like... just like Umemiya-senpai. Please don't get me wrong, I don't hate this kind of personality. On the contrary, I envy you..."

"Okay, no need to explain so nervously, I was just joking—" Mogami Jun couldn't help laughing again, "If you spend a long time with me, you will know that I am not a serious person all the time. On the contrary, I like to joke with my friends."

"I understand..." Asana nodded. "Then let's make it a deal! We'll see each other again sometime, and don't break your promise!"

"I will never break my promise." Mogami Jun made the promise again.

"Well... let's stop here for today. I'm hanging up first!" Chaona's voice was filled with a smile that could not be concealed. "I have been hiding and calling for such a long time. Mom will definitely be very surprised..."

"Yeah, goodbye!" Jun Mogami said goodbye to Asana.

The call was hung up. Jun Mogami put the phone on the bed and looked out the window. It was really late at night.

He could tell that when Asana said goodbye to him for the last time, she was in a very happy mood - that is to say, she had gotten over the bad news.

I feel a bit proud to say this, because it was me who gave her a little courage, allowing her to recover so quickly.

However, just injecting courage is far from enough. To truly overcome difficulties, it is impossible to rely solely on spiritual victory. It is necessary to rely on action - action is the secret of all victory.

He didn't know what to do now, but he was ready to act.

But now it's time to take a good rest.

Just as he was about to wash up, the sound of keys suddenly came from the door.

He immediately stopped and looked at the door.

The door opened quickly, and his mother, Sayuki Mogami, appeared in front of him.

Today she was wearing a black Chanel suit, looking quite dashing and capable, and she looked tired as if she had just rushed over from the office after work.

"Mom, long time no see." Jun Mogami didn't know why his mother suddenly came over, but since she was here he could only greet her respectfully.

"Son, are you okay?" After changing her shoes, Mogami Sayuki walked directly in front of him, and then looked at him with concern and comfort, "I heard that you were turned away when you visited the Izumo family? Is it true?"

"It's true..." Mogami Jun could only smile bitterly. "Who did you hear that from, Dad?"

"No, another friend told me. That bastard is still hiding it from me. I think he has gone crazy!" Mogami Sayuki was furious. "Does he think this is just his business?"

"Dad just thinks that you have always disagreed with him and doesn't want you to know...Besides, he hasn't given up all hope yet and wants to continue working hard for it, so he doesn't want to make a big fuss about it now." Mogami Jun replied with a wry smile.

"It's already come to this, what else is there to talk about!" Mogami Sayuki frowned, "No matter how great their family is, it's just that. We can't even afford to marry them, so why bother asking them for help! There's no point in doing this, and it will only make them look down on us even more for no reason. Humph, is my son going to have to worry about not being able to find someone in the future?!"

Then, she bit her lip in indignation, "The Izumo family doesn't even look down on you. They are so blind that they are just mediocre people. It's better to cut off contact with them as soon as possible."

Although Mogami Sayuki didn't think it was necessary to marry into the Izumo family, she couldn't stand her son being looked down upon.

She had always been extremely proud of her son, but someone had apparently rejected her so ruthlessly. Of course she was furious, even angrier than if she had been looked down upon herself.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was also worried that her son would be upset, so she couldn't help but open her arms and hug her son, gently stroking his head.

"Okay, son, don't take it to heart. This is such a small matter that everyone will soon forget about. No one will laugh at you for it. You just need to continue to be yourself. Let Miss Izumo do whatever they want. I want to see what powerful character they can find in the end!"

Just by hearing her mother say this, Mogami Jun knew that she didn't know the truth or the whole story at all. It seemed that the person who revealed the news to her only knew a general idea, so she was so worried that Mogami Jun couldn't bear the blow.

How could she have imagined that the breakdown of the talks between the two families would be due to that kind of reason?

Since his father hadn't said anything, he wasn't going to tell the whole truth at this time. If his mother spread the news, it would be embarrassing for everyone.
