The strongest high school student in Japan

Maybe there really is something hidden?

"Okay, see you tonight then, bye." She hung up again.

Then, Sayuki Mogami finally started the car and set off on the day's journey on this unpleasant morning.

236, comfort

Jun Mogami hung up the phone, leaving his mother full of doubts. The room had returned to silence.

But now he couldn't sleep anymore.

In fact, he was as confused as his mother now. He didn't understand why Mrs. Izumo suddenly came out to complain, but he could infer that something must have gone wrong with Asana.

And there must have been a conflict - otherwise she wouldn't have had to go to her parents in a rage to complain.

It seems that Asana has really stood her ground and started to resist her parents' decision... It's worth all my earnest advice.

When he thought of this, Jun Mogami's mood suddenly improved.

He subconsciously picked up his phone and wanted to call Asana to ask about her current situation, but he stopped at the last moment - he didn't know where Asana was or what she was doing. What if it was inconvenient for her to answer the phone (such as next to her parents), then if he called her rashly, it would be a disaster.

So, he exited the interface and sent a message instead.

"Asana, I'm sorry to bother you so early. My mom just received a call. It seemed to be from your mother. She complained to my mom that I was harassing you... May I ask what happened on your end?"

Jun Mogami didn't expect that just one or two seconds after he sent the message, his cell phone rang, and it was Asana calling.

This means that Asana is also completely free at the moment.

Very good!

Jun Mogami suppressed the joy in his heart and answered the phone.

"Asana..."

Before Mogami Jun could finish his words, he was interrupted by Asana's rapid-fire words.

"Chun, I'm sorry... I'm sorry! I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble!" Asana spoke a long paragraph in one breath, gasping for words and apologizing, "It's all my fault, please forgive me..."

"Ah, don't be so impatient... I'm not here to accuse you." Mogami Jun couldn't help laughing. "Besides, you haven't done anything to let me down. It's your mother who complained, not you. If you must find out the reason, I'll find you in private. You haven't done anything wrong. I'm looking for you now just to find out what's going on. Please don't get excited, otherwise I'll feel bad."

With the gentle words of comfort from Jun Mogami, Asana finally calmed down a little.

"Alas, family matters should have been resolved at home, but in the end it got to this point, and other families laughed at it. I feel so ashamed when I think about it. If grandpa's spirit in heaven saw what was happening now, how sad he would be..." She sighed, "Mother couldn't persuade me, so...so she probably took her anger out on you."

"So, you two are having a falling out now?" Mogami Jun understood the implication of her words.

"Yes, we had a complete falling out." Asana answered with a bit of shame, "After I returned to school after the performance that day, my mother called me and told me to go back quickly during the weekend to entertain my uncle and cousin who were visiting. Although she didn't say it explicitly, I naturally guessed that was what she meant, so I asked my mother directly if she planned to consider my cousin as... as a marriage candidate..."

"And your mother admitted it?" Mogami Jun almost understood.

"Yes, although she was a little surprised when I asked her directly, she still admitted that she did have this plan. The information you revealed to me was absolutely correct..." Asana smiled bitterly, "Mother asked me to obey her orders, but this time... this time I refused, and she was very angry."

"Where are you now?" Mogami Jun asked again, "Are you still in school?"

"Yes, I'm still in school. She originally wanted to come and take me away by force, but I firmly disagreed to go back. For the sake of our family's reputation, she couldn't just barge in and drag me away, so we are in a stalemate now." Asana sighed again, "Speaking of this, I also want to thank Senior Umemiya. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid the school would have let me go back with my mother..."

Asana was in a very low mood. After all, confronting her mother was something she had never imagined and absolutely did not want to do. She only had to do it because of the current situation.

Mogami Jun understood her feelings, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After all, Asana's performance has exceeded his expectations.

"Because I kept resisting, my mother was very angry. She suspected that someone was backing me up, so she investigated my recent actions everywhere, and maybe... maybe that's how she found out about our past dealings..." After a moment's silence, Asana continued, "Jun, I'm really sorry for involving you and causing you trouble."

One can imagine how furious Mrs. Izumo would be right now. He suddenly felt that the other party was only putting pressure on his mother and did not curse her viciously, which was already a very good temper.

Mogami Jun wasn't angry at all, and wasn't even anxious.

Because he had learned the intelligence now, and then carefully assessed the situation, and finally found that everything was not that bad.

"Asana, I'll say it again, you don't have to apologize to me. Have you forgotten? After visiting your house that day, I was the one who called you, and I was the one who had been encouraging you to resist. If you really want to hold someone responsible, then I must take the responsibility. And I never intended to stay out of it. It doesn't matter even if your mother hates me. Since I have already started, I will do it to the end." Mogami Jun answered with a little arrogance.

Then, he continued to encourage Asana, "Whether it's to your mother, to me, or to yourself, you have nothing to be ashamed of. On the contrary, you can be proud now because you are fighting for yourself... At least at this moment, you are truly living as Izumo Asana instead of someone's daughter! Isn't this great?"

Asana was silent for a while, as if thinking about what Mogami Jun said.

"Maybe you're right..." Then, she answered with a bit of ease. "Anyway, now that it has come to this, I will not change my mind. No matter what mother says, I will not change my mind. I...I will stick to it to the end."

"Very good! As long as you have this determination, I think no matter what difficulties you face, you will be able to overcome them, and we will also help you get through them." Mogami Jun nodded approvingly, then laughed, "And, to be honest, I think your mother's making a fuss and finding my mother to ask for punishment may be a good thing for me."

"Good...good thing..." Asana gasped, "How can...can you say it's a good thing? Won't your mother be angry when she hears about it?"

If she didn't know Jun Mogami a little, she would probably think that he had been scared out of his wits.

"Yes, my mother was very angry. She just called me and scolded me for not respecting myself and bringing disgrace to the family. To be honest, I was woken up by her scolding." Mogami Jun replied with a smile, "But on the other hand, if we explain the situation to her, maybe we can get her to help us. If there is an adult to help, things will be much easier."

"Will your mother help... This kind of thing involves two families, so generally speaking it's difficult for her to intervene..." Asana asked hesitantly.

"Other parents have various concerns and might really do this, but my mother is different. She doesn't even care about my grandfather, so how can she care about others? As long as she thinks it makes sense, she will do it." Mogami Jun answered confidently, "And... to be honest, she likes you very much. She praised you highly after we first met."

"Hmph, what's the use even if she likes me? You can just kick her away with just one word." Asana suddenly replied in a low voice.

Mogami Jun found himself unable to respond to this sudden remark, and he could only remain speechless.

Asana must still be feeling upset about what happened that day.

"Oh, sorry, I...I can't bring up the past." Asana also reacted and apologized quickly.

Although he couldn't see Asana's face through the phone, Mogami Jun knew that she was blushing when he heard her weak tone.

"It's okay. The fact that you're in a mood to complain about me shows that you've recovered. Just keep doing what you're doing now." Mogami Jun immediately turned the page and changed the subject. "Anyway, as long as my mother is sure that you're right, she won't care about boring things like the relationship between the two families or face. She will definitely help you. That's her personality. That's why I said this might be a good thing."

"I hope so... But when I think about the possibility of troubling Auntie, I feel really bad..." Asana was full of apologies again, and then sighed, "I just hope that these disturbances can be resolved as soon as possible. Right now, few people in school know about this. If it drags on and everyone knows about it, I really won't be able to show up in front of everyone again..."

"Don't think so. Since you are fighting for yourself, why bother about other people's eyes? And I think with their upbringing, they will definitely not laugh at you, please rest assured." Mogami Jun comforted the other party, and then asked, "How long can you hold on there now? If your mother insists on taking you back, the school should be in a difficult position, right?"

"Umemiya-senpai may be able to hold on for a while, but...she's still a student after all, and she has to face pressure from her family, so I don't know how long she can hold on. Maybe her mother has already complained to the Umemiya family..." Asana answered sullenly.

That being said, there isn't a lot of time, Mogami Jun thought.

But it should still be in time.

"Asana, have you ever considered your last resort?" he asked.

"What is the last resort?" Asana asked.

"Legally, if a guardian abuses or severely bullies the ward, the guardianship rights can be revoked, and your current situation is almost the same." Mogami Jun explained to her in a low voice, "Your parents want to force you to marry someone you don't like, and they also want to deprive you of the property you should inherit. This is a serious violation of the law. As long as you find a litigation agent, there should be a good chance that they will lose their guardianship rights. Even if you can't do that, at least you can make them consider their reputation and dare not do anything too drastic..."

This can be considered as Asana's trump card.

Although arranged marriages are still very popular among noble families today, if we take it one step further, as long as the parties involved are unwilling, then forcing them is definitely against the law.

As for attempting to deprive Asana of her rightful property, that is definitely a clear violation of the law.

Therefore, as long as Nai goes through legal procedures, there will basically be no major problems.

Moreover, even if they cannot win the lawsuit, it will be enough to make the Izumo family lose face. By then, the Matsukata family may not even be willing to marry into the family, which would be like cutting off the source of their trouble.

"No... No!" Asana interrupted Mogami Jun's thoughts without even thinking. "I... I have violated my mother's will, which is already an act of transgression. How... How can I go to court to sue her? How can I face my parents and ancestors? I absolutely cannot do such a thing."

Asana said it with absolute certainty, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Sure enough, taking legal action against her parents was something she had never thought about and was never willing to do.

Mogami Jun was not too surprised. After all, Asana was different from him. She cared a lot about things that he didn't care about.

"Well, I'm just suggesting it. I'm not asking you to do it. It's just your trump card. There's no need to consider it unless it's absolutely necessary." He immediately tried to smooth things over. "I think it doesn't have to go that far. If your mother sees how determined you are, maybe she will give in then."

That being said, he didn't quite believe it in his heart.

Although he had only met Mrs. Izumo once, he could clearly tell that she was a person who appeared to be very polite but was very arrogant and stubborn in her heart. She must have a very strong personality, and it would probably not be easy to get her to give in to his daughter.

Of course, this doesn't mean that there is no way out. Even if legal procedures cannot be taken, Mrs. Izumo or the Matsukata family must have other loopholes to find - Mogami Jun thought.

"Asana, you should take a good rest now and calm down. I'll deal with your mother first." He comforted Asana, "It's time for class. Let's stop here for now and contact each other later."

"Thank you for comforting me at this time." Asana replied with emotion, "I have caused you so much trouble. I will definitely repay you when I have the chance..."

"It doesn't matter. I don't do this for any reward, I just do it because I'm happy." Mogami Jun replied with a smile, "If you hope to repay me, then continue to be a person who can make me happy."

"It looks difficult..." Asana replied softly. "But I will try my best."

237, Hole Card

"It looks difficult...but I will try my best."

Although this sentence seems very ordinary, for some reason, Mogami Jun heard a hint of shyness in Asana's tone.

In Asana's eyes, what exactly is considered "something that makes me happy"? Mogami Jun suddenly became curious about this question.

But he suddenly didn't dare to ask anymore.

This is a serious occasion anyway, if I say something that makes the two of them embarrassed, it would ruin the atmosphere...

"You think too much of me. It doesn't take any effort to make me happy. All you have to do is show your cuteness like before." He laughed dryly and dealt with it vaguely.

"I... am cute?" Asana was a little surprised. "Did I... do anything that makes people think I am cute?"

This reaction alone is adorable, Mogami Jun thought.

But there is no need to say it.

"People who can see the road ahead clearly and stick to their own will will always be lovely. Please continue to be lovely." Mogami Jun replied, "Goodbye."

"goodbye……"

The two said goodbye to each other and hung up the phone.

It was already late, so Jun Mogami didn't delay any longer. He got out of bed, washed up quickly, and ran to school.

When he came back from school in the evening, he found a Porsche parked downstairs - of course he recognized it, it was his mother's car.

Mom seems really anxious...

Jun Mogami paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, then strode into the building.

After opening the door, the first thing he saw was his mother sitting on the sofa.

At this time, Sayuki Mogami was wearing a suit, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, watching TV leisurely, while quickly tapping on her mobile phone to reply to emails.

When she saw Jun Mogami coming back, Mogami Sayuki put her phone on the sofa and looked at Jun Mogami with a frown.

"Boy, you'd better give me an explanation that can convince me, otherwise you will suffer today."

Mogami Jun knew that his mother was not just talking, so he bowed to her seriously.

"Mom, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Just saying sorry isn't enough..." Mogami Sayuki shook her head.

"I actually didn't think of this at first, but it's really possible that Asana..." Mogami Jun sighed.

Then, he told his mother about his experience of visiting the Izumo family, how the Matsukata family secretly attacked him, why Mrs. Izumo suddenly changed her mind, and how Asana asked him for help and resolutely resisted her mother's will.

Mogami Sayuki had been listening, and her originally frowned brows slowly relaxed.

Obviously, she had begun to accept what Mogami Jun said.

"That's basically the situation, Mom." Mogami Jun concluded his statement. "You can see that it's not that I'm unwilling to give in and keep pestering Asana, but I really feel sorry for Asana's situation, so I couldn't bear to refuse her when she asked for help... Everything Mrs. Izumo said to you is not true. I have been helping Asana before, and I will continue to do so now. It's that simple."

"In that case, I can understand you..." Mogami Sayuki, who had been silent, finally nodded. "I knew it. With your usual character, how could you be so humble as to pester others? It seems that Mrs. Izumo is indeed framing you."

Then, she seemed a little angry again, "But, I really don't mean to criticize you, but you are thinking about being someone's hero now. Weren't you the one who pushed her away at that time? If you had agreed at the shrine at the beginning and behaved better, Mrs. Izumo might not have had time to change her mind, and there would not have been so many things to happen later. Looking back now, wasn't that the best time? Our two mothers were there, would she dare to regret it later?"

"These are two completely different things. They can't be mixed up, right?" Mogami Jun was a little embarrassed. "Besides... who could have thought that the Matsukata family would have the audacity to barge in?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. There's really no point in talking about it now." Mogami Sayuki did not pursue the attack, but returned to the main topic. "So, Asana is also an amazing child. She looks gentle and well-behaved, and she still has her own opinions at critical moments. Well... The Izumo family didn't produce any outstanding talents in this generation, nor did they do anything remarkable. Raising this daughter is probably their last resort..."

Because of recent events, Mogami Sayuki's impression of the Izumo family has become very bad, so she speaks very bluntly. I'm afraid that the only person in this family that she likes is Asana.

"Then, can you lend a helping hand to Asana?" Mogami Jun made the request cautiously. "Asana is now isolated and helpless and desperately needs help from others. I think if you can help, then she should be able to get out of her current predicament. Of course, this may affect the relationship between our family and the Izumo family, so it doesn't matter if you have any concerns, as long as you don't stop me..."

He said this on purpose. Given my mother's personality, she wouldn't let it go easily.

"What are you talking about? You are my son. If I hide and let you do it on your own, won't others hate me? Since they are willing to help, why not just come together? What else do you have to worry about? Things have come to this point, what else do you care about? When they humiliated you, we had nothing to do with them!" Sure enough, Mogami Sayuki immediately refused.

Then, she sneered again, "This kind of noble lady always thinks highly of herself and never takes others seriously. It would be a great pleasure to have a chance to make her suffer. You didn't hear how she mocked you and me when she called me. If we didn't want to talk about something else, I would have turned against her on the spot. Now that we have the chance, let's just make her lose face!"

"Mom, you're absolutely right! Since they have done this, don't blame us for fighting back. We have a righteous cause in our hands anyway, and others can't find a reason to gossip even if they want to." After hearing his mother's statement, Mogami Jun was overjoyed.

The mother and son reached a consensus in an instant, even faster than Mogami Jun had initially expected.

On the one hand, Mogami Sayuki was really furious at the Izumo family's repeated actions. How could she swallow the fact that her son, whom she had been proud of since childhood, was humiliatingly driven away by them? On the other hand, she really liked Asana very much, and couldn't bear to see her lose everything because of her parents' despicable plot and become a victim of fate at such a young age.
