The strongest high school student in Japan

When he thought of this, Mogami Jun suddenly admired Asana a little, because Asana, with her frail body, accompanied him to walk the same long distance, which was really not easy.

"Asana must be hungry too, right? Let's find a place to eat together? There should be quite a few fast food restaurants nearby..." he suggested.

“No need…” Asana shook her head, “Senior must have prepared everything, we can just go there together~”

Why have you prepared so many things? Is there any plan?

Mogami Jun wanted to ask, but finally held back.

Well, let's see what tricks you guys come up with. Don't let me down.

"Okay, let the driver drive the car over and we'll get there earlier." He smiled.

"We don't need a driver to take us there. Senior lives right here." Asana shook her head again, giving Mogami Jun a new surprise. "We can just walk over there."

"Her house is right next to Ueno Park?" Mogami Jun was really surprised. "Isn't she living in an old mansion from the Edo period?"

Ueno Park was originally the site of the Tokugawa shogunate's family temple. During the shogunate era, many daimyo and lords built their mansions here. The tomb of the famous Warring States general Fujido Takatora is nearby.

However, after the Restoration, the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate came to an end, and the former family temple was turned into a park, becoming the location of many cultural facilities in Tokyo - the National Museum of Western Art is naturally one of them.

The death of my uncle

Of course, having said that, there are still many old-time mansions nearby, where residents live amidst the beauty of this green space.

"Umemiya-senpai lives right here." Asana replied with a smile. "Isn't that impressive?"

"It's really amazing..." Mogami Jun could only agree with Asana's opinion.

Being able to live in an old-style mansion in this area is almost equivalent to buying a courtyard house in the imperial capital, and sometimes you may not even be able to buy it even if you have the money.

But after thinking about it carefully, he was no longer surprised.

He had been to the girls' school that Asana attended, and of course he could see that the students there, including Asana, all treated Umemiya Natsuhime with respect and awe. Even the strict teachers seemed to be respectful to her.

In this strictly ordered class society, being treated with such respect by everyone must not only be due to personal charm - at least Asana has never been valued in this way.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that Princess Umemiya was born into a wealthy family. There is nothing to be surprised about.

With this thought in mind, he followed Asana and walked through Ueno Park.

Ueno Park has a long cherry blossom avenue, and the cherry trees planted on both sides of the avenue are hundreds of years old.

Walking on the wide road covered with tree branches, the sunlight filtered through the trees and formed spots of light. Jun Mogami felt the rare coolness in the summer. Looking at Asana who was following beside him, he suddenly felt very comfortable.

"It's a pity that the cherry blossom season has passed, otherwise we could still enjoy it." Jun Mogami looked at the heavy shadows of the trees and sighed.

"There will be opportunities in the future..." Asana replied softly. "If you're happy, Jun, we can come over to enjoy the cherry blossoms together next spring."

Mogami Jun's steps suddenly paused.

"What's wrong, Jun?" Asana also stopped and looked at Mogami Jun with some worry, "...You don't want to?"

"No, I'm just thinking about what to wear at the time." Jun Mogami replied with a smile.

As he expected, Asana's face instantly turned red again, "You can wear anything..."

Then, the two of them didn't say anything more. Under Asana's guidance, they walked around the Shinobazu Pond in the park and the cherry blossom forest next to it, and then came to the gate of a quiet Japanese-style house.

The house looks inconspicuous, but it occupies a large area and there is no nameplate at the door. It is so old that it looks like an exhibit in a museum.

Asana stood at the door, took out his cell phone and dialed the number, which was quickly connected.

"Senior, we are here!" She informed Umemiya Natsuki cheerfully, seemingly unable to suppress her excitement.

"Okay, wait a moment." There was only a brief answer on the phone, and then it was hung up immediately.

Without waiting for long, the door was opened, and then the tall figure of Umemiya Natsuhi appeared in front of Mogami Jun.

To Mogami Jun's surprise, today Umemiya Natsuki was dressed quite traditionally and formally. She wore a light yellow kimono with a peony pattern, her hair was tied up behind her head with floral decorations as a bun, and her expression was quite solemn.

Although she was usually quite serious, this outfit made her look several years older. Her dignity was enhanced, and one had to admit that she had the demeanor of a young lady.

"Jun Mogami, long time no see." She walked slowly towards the stairs and bowed slightly as a greeting. "Did you have fun with Asana today?"

"I had a lot of fun. Thank you for your concern, senior." Mogami Jun replied politely.

"Then please come in—" Umemiya Natsuki smiled slightly, then slightly turned aside, motioning for Mogami Jun to come in.

Since they were already here, there was nothing for Mogami Jun to worry about. He didn't hesitate and followed Senior Umemiya in, while Asana followed closely behind her.

"You must be curious about why I called you here today?" Umemiya Xia Fei said softly as they walked side by side.

"Yes, of course, I am a little curious." Mogami Jun nodded. "Senior, can you clear up my doubts now? Or are you going to keep hiding your purpose?"

"In fact, there is nothing to hide, and there is no need to hide anything now." Mei Gong Xia Fei had no expression on her face, and her steps were extremely solemn. "Young man, I recognize you."

"Huh?!" Jun Mogami was surprised.

This statement sounded a bit childish and seemed totally irrelevant to the current context, so much so that he didn't know how to respond.

"What does this have to do with recognizing me?" he asked after a pause.

For some reason, Mogami Jun felt that Umemiya-senpai no longer had the usual overbearing arrogance in her look, but instead was dignified and decent, with the demeanor of a noble person - perhaps it was because she was at home.

"It matters a lot—" Umemiya Natsuhime finally smiled slightly and answered with a drawn-out tone. "So I invited you here and opened the door for you that Asana is qualified to step into—"

Jun Mogami understood something.

Senior Umemiya was probably planning to introduce me to some small circle as a reward or return for my wholehearted efforts in helping Asana.

This reward... I really don’t know whether I should be happy or not.

"Why, are you unhappy?" Mei Gong Xia Fei blinked her eyes, "Your father spent so much effort to make you a step higher than him. Now that you can enter the family, are you still thinking of retreating?"

Mogami Jun knew that Senior Umemiya meant well, but her tone always sounded a little uncomfortable, as if someone high and mighty was giving him a chance to bring honor to his family.

Even though it might be true, it still sounded unpleasant - even though she probably didn't mean it.

This is probably the kind of unintentional arrogance of the upper class.

“Jun…what’s wrong?” Asana saw that Jun Mogami’s reaction was a little strange, and thought that he was too surprised and a little at a loss, so she held his hand a little worriedly, and then complained to the senior sister in a low voice, “Senior sister, we should have explained it to him earlier. Now we are at the door and we told him now. Anyone who hears it will be very surprised!”

"If it's Jun, he would be able to improvise no matter how unexpected the situation is, right? Asana, don't you have confidence yet?" Umemiya Natsuki asked with a smile.

Then, she looked at Mogami Jun and said, "Actually, you don't need to be nervous. Just treat it normally. The person you are meeting is not some big shot who dominates national politics. He is just a few years older than us. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"Who is it?" Mogami Jun asked seriously.

"My sister, Umemiya Haruhi, and a few of her friends." Umemiya Haruhi answered with a faint smile, word by word, "Although she is an easy-going person, please don't neglect the proper etiquette..."

After a moment, as if she remembered something, she added, "Oh, I almost forgot. When I introduced you, I said you were Asana's fiancé. Please help me cover up for this. Please don't let it slip, otherwise it will be too difficult for me..."

298, Xia Fei

"Ah, I almost forgot. When I introduced you, I said you were Asana's fiancé. Please help me cover up for this. Please don't let it slip, otherwise it will be too difficult for me..."

Umemiya Natsuki's words did not shock Mogami Jun. Instead, they suddenly dawned on him and he finally understood the answer to all the inconsistencies.

If you think about it carefully, Asana had actually revealed some clues unintentionally just now.

That’s right, Umemiya-senpai was planning to introduce herself to her social circle—but as Asana’s “future husband”.

After a few times, he could solidify Asana's identity in his future social circles, making it difficult for him to change his mind when the time comes.

He looked back at Chaona, who suddenly didn't dare to look at him anymore and lowered her head in panic.

"I'm sorry, Chun... I've caused you trouble..."

However, even though she was apologizing, she did not loosen her grip on Jun Mogami's arm.

Moreover, her hands were shaking slightly, revealing how nervous she was at the moment.

Seeing her so nervous, Jun Mogami couldn't get angry.

How should I put it... Even though they did these things without telling me, in the final analysis, Asana didn't have any ill intentions.

Rather, the fact that she agreed with Meigong Xia Fei's approach showed that she was interested in him?

"What are you apologizing for, Asana? It's a great blessing to be favored by you. Are you still worried that someone will refuse it? If someone really does that, they are blind!" Umemiya Natsuhiko, who was standing by, looked a little dissatisfied and asked Mogami Jun with a bad look, "Mogami Jun, isn't that right?"

"That's not the case! I'm the one who's bothering Jun." Asana was a little anxious and interrupted Senior Umemiya's question, "Jun, if you don't want to, we can just go back immediately. Anyway, we still have a lot of time and many places to go. We don't have to stay here with Senior..."

"Stop talking, it's okay, Asana." Mogami Jun suddenly spoke up, stopping Asana. "Just do it, there's nothing wrong with it."

He is quite open-minded. Things have come to this point. Can he still say, "Oh, sorry, this has nothing to do with me. I have something to go back. Goodbye"?

If he really just walked away, not only would he offend Umemiya Natsuhiko, but at least it would make Asana sad, and he didn't want that.

Anyway, there's no real loss, so why not just let Asana be happy.

"Eh..." Asana first opened her eyes wide, then suddenly laughed. Then she immediately realized something was wrong and quickly controlled her expression. Only the slightly upturned corners of her mouth revealed the joy that she could not hide in her heart.

Then, she replied in the calmest tone possible, with her eyes lowered, "Okay, that's it!"

"Ah... you are such a loser." Umemiya Natsuki looked at her junior's performance and couldn't help shaking her head, "Asana, you are so easy to manipulate. You will be bullied to death in the future."

"Jun won't do that," Asana replied immediately.

"Hmph, that's hard to say." Umemiya Xia Fei snorted coldly, then glared at Mogami Jun, as if she was annoyed by his hesitation. "But if someone bullies you, just tell me directly, I won't let him have it easy."

Then, without saying anything else, she started walking again, leading Mogami Jun through the courtyard and into the house.

This is a Japanese-style house covering a large area. It has a main house and a wall. There is a small pavilion and bonsai in the courtyard. There are also a large number of maple trees planted around the wall. Although it is not the season when the maple leaves turn red yet, one can imagine what a beautiful scene it will be here when the red leaves season comes.

However, Mogami Jun didn't have time to appreciate the scenery. Under the guidance of Umemiya Natsuki, they came to the door of a room from the corridor, and then Umemiya Natsuki knocked on the door gently.

"Onee-sama (お姉様), we're here." She whispered in a respectful tone that Mogami Jun had never heard before, "Excuse me, is it convenient now?"

"Come in, Princess Xia, we're waiting!" A reply came immediately from inside the room.

To Mogami Jun's surprise, although the voice sounded a little older than them, the tone was rather gentle rather than majestic.

It's completely different from the style of Umemiya Natsuki.

Before Mogami Jun could think more, Umemiya Natsuki opened the door with both hands.

As the door slowly opened to both sides, the scene inside slowly appeared in Jun Mogami's eyes.

The light in the room was dim. Calligraphy scrolls and ink paintings were hung on the walls. In the middle of the room was a coffee table with some plates on it with various dishes on them. There were also quite a few wine bottles. Several young men and women were kneeling beside the coffee table. They were all wearing Japanese clothes.

Sitting in the main seat was a young woman in a kimono. Her appearance and hairstyle were quite similar to those of Umemiya Natsuhiko, except that her eyebrows and eyes looked much more mature and beautiful.

However, no one would confuse her with Umemiya Natsuhiko... because the two people's temperaments are so different that one can notice the huge difference just at first glance.

At this moment, she was not sitting upright, but lying on her side. The fluffy clothes exposed a large area of ​​skin on her shoulders, and even the towering chest seemed vaguely visible.

There were wine glasses and bottles in front of her, and it looked like she had drunk quite a bit.

The moment the door opened, her eyes immediately fell on Jun Mogami and she looked at him carefully.

Her face was slightly flushed, and there seemed to be ripples in her eyes. Then she smiled and nodded at him.

Then she gently raised her hand, picked up a paper fan from under the table, and gently closed it.

There was a soft "bang" sound, like a salute to welcome him.

"Ah, aha, I've heard that Master Mogami is a very handsome man. Today I see that he is indeed a handsome young man..." She smiled and pointed to the seat next to her with her paper fan. "Come, please take a seat."

Mogami Jun hesitated.

"Ms. Umemiya, thank you for your hospitality." He thanked her first, but did not move immediately.

Needless to say, the person who welcomed him was Umemiya Haruhime herself.

To be honest, she is really pretty. Her every move is measured and she has the demeanor of a young lady.

However, she always exuded a hint of charm, which was completely different from Meigong Xia Fei.

Logically speaking, in a family, especially for sisters, the education at home should not be any different. However, the education between the two sisters is so different that it is really confusing.

"Sister, please allow me to introduce you again. This is the junior schoolmate I told you about, Izumo Asana." Umemiya Natsuhime glanced at Asana, then respectfully introduced her to Umemiya Haruhime, "I have also told you before that Jun is Asana's fiancé, so it is reasonable for them to sit together--"

"Why don't we just let her sit next to Jun?" Umemiya Haruhime replied with a smile, "Jun sits next to me. After all, she is the guest of honor today, so we can't be rude to her--"

Although her tone was gentle, she didn't seem to give Meigong Xia Fei much room for negotiation.

Umemiya Natsuki paused for a moment, then nodded to Mogami Jun, as if hoping that Mogami Jun would obey this arrangement.

Although Umemiya Haruki's behavior seemed a bit strange, the guest should follow the host's wishes. Since they were visiting guests, the host should arrange where they should sit. So Mogami Jun didn't say much, but took Asana to sit down according to the seats.

As soon as he sat down, a strong smell of alcohol mixed with fragrance rushed into his nose, stimulating his brain and awakening it a lot.

Soon, he discovered another shocking fact - the young man sitting opposite the coffee table was someone he knew.

It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say that they know each other. It should be said that the two of them only met once.
