Although it is an old commercial area, it is relatively quiet here. There are not many pedestrians on the street, and no one would exercise their idle curiosity to disturb the atmosphere between the two people.
I don’t know how far we walked, Jun Mogami didn’t say anything the whole time, he just walked forward silently.
It wasn't that he was trying to be cool, but he really didn't know what to say to make Asana happy in the current situation.
Normally he was proud of his eloquence, and he was always eloquent and never at a disadvantage when arguing with others, but actively inviting a girl for a walk was a new experience for him.
A very fresh experience.
He had the rare experience of wanting to start a conversation but not being able to find the words.
Is this what they call shyness?
No, definitely not, absolutely not...
"Jun?" Just when Jun Mogami was still worried and anxious, Asana suddenly spoke.
For some reason, besides being surprised, Jun Mogami also felt relieved.
"Asana, what's wrong?"
"I want to ask you what's wrong?" Chaonai suddenly laughed, "You suddenly asked me to walk with you, and then you didn't say a word for such a long time. Is it really just for fitness?"
Mogami Jun couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.
"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry." He could only apologize, "I didn't think about it that much just now - in fact, when I made the invitation, I wasn't prepared to talk to you, so I couldn't find a topic right away... I'm sorry to have troubled you."
This was the truth. He had not anticipated what would happen today, so naturally he had not prepared any conversation skills.
"Nothing, even if it's just for fitness, it feels good to walk like this." Asana shook her head gently, then looked at the boy with a smile, "Besides, Jun is not the kind of person who would make elaborate preparations for a date. If you suddenly start talking to me eloquently, I... I would be very surprised..."
"I'm glad you understand." Jun Mogami finally felt relieved.
He didn't seem to notice that Asana mentioned "date" inadvertently, maybe he just agreed to it in his heart.
For some reason, after Asana said this, Mogami Jun actually relaxed.
"You must be very busy recently. The relationship between your parents has not been repaired yet, and you have to learn how to manage the family business as soon as possible." Mogami Jun looked at Asana with some sympathy, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not as difficult as you think. It was really uncomfortable at the beginning, but after I got used to it, it's actually nothing." Chaona shook his head gently, "I had already anticipated these when I made the decision. Since I did it, I should bear the consequences, right?"
"Amazing rationality." Mogami Jun couldn't help but admire, "You are much stronger than I thought, so I feel relieved. Then keep working hard and don't let your grandfather down. He will definitely be very pleased to see you working so hard in heaven."
This is not a compliment. Jun Mogami really appreciates the life attitude of "calmly facing reality and never escaping". Whether it is Sakihara-senpai or Asana, although they have different personalities, they are surprisingly consistent in this point - perhaps this is why he is attracted to them.
To Mogami Jun's surprise, Asana shook her head again.
"Chun, I think you may still have a little misunderstanding..."
"Well, did I say something wrong?" asked Jun Mogami in surprise.
"You misunderstood my grandfather." Asana sighed softly, "He is not what you think."
"..." Mogami Jun was silent.
He had seen photos of Grandpa Asana when he was alive, but he never took them seriously. After all, who would care what a dead person looked like?
As for his life story and character, we know even less.
"What's going on?" he couldn't help asking.
"I didn't have much contact with my grandfather. I was very young when he passed away, and he often had to travel around the world for business or pleasure, so we rarely met. I can't even remember when he touched my head." Chaona smiled bitterly, "Many people think that he must have doted on me because of the will, but...from my perspective, that's not the case. In his eyes, I'm just one of his many grandchildren. At most, I'm a little different because I'm the eldest son's daughter."
Perhaps because she was afraid that Jun Mogami might misunderstand, she quickly explained.
"I'm not saying he doesn't love me. Grandpa is quite kind to me, but... it's just the ordinary kind of love, which is what people usually think a grandfather should have."
"Then why..." Jun Mogami couldn't help but ask.
"Then why did he make such a will?" Asana answered Mogami Jun's question, and then lowered his eyes slightly. "Grandpa has passed away, and no one can ask him what he really thinks. But from my personal point of view, it is more likely that he was too disappointed with dad and uncle, so he wanted to take revenge on them in this way, rather than saying that he over-indulged me or had any expectations of me... This is probably the final act of the stubborn old man's self-destruction."
Asana said this, and smiled bitterly again, "He did it. Because of his arrangement, the uncles and dad fell out. They felt that he had robbed their money, and dad was also on guard against me, fearing that I had robbed his money... The family was torn apart, and there is no way to mend it until now. Maybe they will be strangers in the future as well."
Mogami Jun thought about what Asana said, but still found it hard to understand.
"Will he risk his family fortune just for this reason?"
"Then think about it the other way around. If he really cared about his family business after his death, would he have made such a will? Isn't he afraid that I or my husband would be more incompetent and confused than his children? Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?" Asana asked back, "If he really doted on me that much, would he have imposed such a heavy burden on me when I was young and ignorant, and created a wall between me and all my relatives? I was almost given to someone by my father at random. Could it be that grandpa didn't foresee this kind of thing before he died...?"
Asana's question left Mogami Jun speechless for a moment.
He admitted that what Asana said made sense, but he also felt that something seemed wrong and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
After all, no one can ask a dead person what he was thinking before he died. Everything turns into chaos with his passing.
Since it has already turned into chaos, there is no need to ask any more questions.
"I'm not blaming Grandpa. No matter what his motives were, I'm the beneficiary. I've never said these words to anyone else, and I won't say them again in the future." Asana looked around blankly, then fixed her eyes on the boy's face, "I think I can only share this feeling with you."
Then she laughed again, "I'm not saying that having this money is a bad thing. That would be too hypocritical. From childhood to adulthood, I have enjoyed a life that most people can't enjoy. I have been treated politely by everyone around me. From this point of view, I am still grateful to him and my father. I just... just..."
After mumbling for a while, Asana suddenly raised her head and stared at Mogami Jun, "I'm just treated too politely. Whether it's grandpa or mom and dad, they seem to be following some rules and treating me according to the standards of propriety within the limits. The same goes for others, as if there is some law that says 'Miss Izumo should be treated in such and such a way', so everyone tacitly abides by it... Isn't this how family should be?"
"There's no law that dictates how families should treat their children." Mogami Jun sighed. "It's pretty much the same in my family. My parents are usually pretty cold and sometimes they don't even talk to each other for days."
"Why is it so?" Izumo Asana blinked in confusion, "Why do wealthy families become distant from each other?"
"Because rich families have choices and the freedom to be strangers, while poor families have no choice and can only squeeze together." Mogami Jun gave an answer that surprised Asana.
"Eh? What do you mean?" Asana asked.
"What do you think family affection is? Is it blood relationship? Obviously not. Sometimes biological fathers and sons can become enemies, while adopted fathers and sons who have no blood relationship can get along very well. Family affection is cultivated through habits and is the spark accumulated from repeated collisions in daily life."
Mogami Jun explained to Asana in a low voice, "Born in an ordinary family, family members will share, quarrel, and have to share a lot of pain, but it is in these sharing, quarrels, and even pain that they establish the bond of family members. Born in an overly wealthy family, it is very likely that they have everything from birth, and there is no sharing at all. Etiquette also makes them deliberately avoid quarrels. For these families, there are too many substitutes for family affection, so they forget to establish bonds."
"You make it sound like family affection is some kind of exchange that has to be made out of necessity." Asana couldn't help but laugh.
"Of course I'm not saying that all families are like this." Mogami Junya smiled, "I'm just explaining your doubts."
Asana lowered his eyes and seemed to think carefully.
"Well, whether what you said is a common phenomenon or not, it is true for me. Dad has always been so gentle, delicate and considerate, but everything is so limited, never giving people a sense of expectation; Mom is so strict, she just wants me to be the daughter she wants..."
"Believe me, you are definitely not alone. Many people are like you." Mogami Jun continued to smile. "Besides, I said that money brings freedom. Since you have the freedom to give up family affection, you also have the freedom to build family affection. You cannot control the things of the previous generation, but you can strive for your own things. Now no one can stop you. You can choose the path you want to take--"
"Yes, you are right." Asana nodded. "I am qualified to make a choice, so I am very grateful to you."
Before Mogami Jun could say anything, she continued, "Not only am I grateful for your help in taking control of my family business, that doesn't matter at all. What's more important to me is that you let me know that some people are real people.
I... never felt much "emotion" beyond the level of courtesy, so can you understand the impact of your actions on me? When you yelled at me on the phone and asked me to fight for myself, that's when you really became different from others in my heart. "
Perhaps sensing the change in Mogami Jun's gaze, Asana quickly waved her hands, "Ah, don't misunderstand, I'm not saying that I'm happy when someone scolds me, but I'm saying that I finally feel that some people treat me as Izumo Asana instead of Miss Izumo. This feeling is very novel, and also... very happy."
Then, she sighed, "So, I am not preparing to take over the family business just for Grandpa's prank. I am doing this to live up to your expectations of me. I want to do what you want me to do and prove that you are not wrong. All the actions you have done for me that go beyond etiquette are worth it."
Mogami Jun didn't answer, but looked at the girl in front of him.
And Izumo Asana also looked up at him.
“Hehe…hehe…hahaha…hahahahaha…” After a long time, Mogami Jun couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Haha..." Asana also covered her mouth and laughed softly.
"I feel like I've done something great for no apparent reason." Mogami Jun shrugged. "I think you think too highly of me, but... if this can cheer you up, then that's good."
The current Asana was completely different from the beautiful, kind, and slightly confused impression she usually gave him.
Rational, clear, and seemingly a little aggressive.
Which one is Asana? Maybe both.
It seems that Asana has already seen through many things, but in order not to cause trouble to others, she keeps her thoughts deep in her heart.
In front of him, she doesn't need to be so restrained, after all, he knows too much about the inside story.
But he was also relieved. He thought that a girl like Asana would definitely be able to fulfill her promise.
"Don't try to evade your responsibility with such words, Mogami Jun." Asana suddenly came closer and looked at the boy face to face, "What you brought to me is not something that can be easily pushed away by yourself--"
"Asana?" Mogami Jun was a little caught off guard and subconsciously took a step back. "Why did you call me by my full name?!"
He wasn't angry, but surprised.
This is not something Asana would say.
What happened to Asana? Is she possessed by something?
He realized belatedly now that Asana's behavior was completely different from usual.
Are you afraid that you won't have the chance to talk about it after today?
Or... don't want to hide what you're thinking?
"Well, I'm sorry for being rude. But this is also your fault. You influenced me, so you have to be responsible for it." Asana answered nonchalantly, and then took another step forward. "Speaking of which, I have a wish, and I hope you can help me realize it."

"What's the matter?" Mogami Jun asked with a guilty look on his face.
"When we first met, we both failed to think things through, so there are so many regrets. I just can't get over it." Asana looked at him and spoke slowly, "What I regret most is that when I was drawing the divination sticks, I drew a very bad luck. This was really a joke from the gods. If it weren't for my wit, I'm afraid... I'm afraid we wouldn't have a future together... I still feel a little upset when I think about it now."
"Hey... Asana..." Mogami Jun could clearly sense that Asana was too emotional. "Are you okay?"
He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Asana has mentioned the things that happened when they first met to him many times. Could it be that she will never be able to let it go?
"Didn't you say you were grateful to me? Then it seems that there is no harm in doing this little thing..." Asana was completely unaware, and suddenly grabbed his hand, "If there is a chance in the future, let's draw lots again? In any case, I also hope that we can prove once that the God is wrong, and extremely wrong."
"Why do you have to get angry in such a weird place?" Mogami Jun couldn't help but complain, "It doesn't matter what the lottery is. It's just a matter of probability, it has no practical significance... Instead of worrying about this, it's better to..."
Mogami Jun's materialistic education was immediately interrupted by Asana.
"It means a lot to me. This is our first meeting, and there can be no flaws."
She squeezed Mogami Jun's hand tightly, "We have to make up for these regrets. We have to make up for them completely. You said it was just a matter of probability, right? So we can definitely make up for it. If ten times don't work, we can try a hundred times. If a hundred times don't work, we can try a thousand times or ten thousand times. Even if it takes forever, I will get the lot that we deserve..."

"So we can definitely make up for it. If ten times doesn't work, we can try a hundred times. If a hundred times doesn't work, we can try a thousand times or ten thousand times. Even if it takes forever, I will get the lot that we deserve..."
Asana's tone was so strong that it would hardly leave anyone in doubt of her determination.
Jun Mogami looked at Asana who was holding his hand, and suddenly became speechless.
He knew Asana quite well. She had received a strict education since childhood and paid great attention to the feelings of others, so she rarely showed her own opinions. It was almost unheard of for her to make such a strong request.
In other words, she was absolutely serious.
This is more of a prayer than a request.
Asana wanted to go back to the shrine where they first met with him, and then draw lots again. She must change her previous fortune no matter what, get the blessing of the god, and put an end to the regret in her heart.
No matter how much she belittled its significance, it was extremely important to her and she was absolutely serious about it.
So is she wrong?
can not say it clearly.
But he vaguely felt that Chaona definitely didn't want to see him fooling around with this issue - she was so uncharacteristically persistent in making this request, so she must want a definite answer.
It's either you agree or you don't agree, there is no middle ground.
And if she doesn't agree, Asana will definitely be very sad.
Therefore, there are actually not many choices left for yourself, just this one.
He didn't want to see Asana sad.
"Well, since you want to go so badly, I don't mind going with you to make up for your regrets." Mogami Jun smiled slightly, "Whenever you are free, call me. No matter how many times you want to draw, even a thousand times, I will accompany you - but I don't think God will make it so difficult for you. At most, a few draws will be enough...hahahaha..."
Old things and a few Lingjiulong stables
Jun Mogami's words of comfort were not just casual. After all, the shrine also wants to make money. If it is so difficult to draw a good fortune, then who will go there in the future?
Asana looked up at the boy's face, her expression gradually changing from nervous to calm.
It can be seen from her performance that this is the answer she wants, the only solution at the moment.
Then, she let go of Jun Mogami's hand and bowed slightly.
"Chun, thank you for being so tolerant of my willfulness. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble. But... you are right. I believe that the gods will definitely not make things difficult for us this time. We just need to work harder to end our regrets."
"Don't make it so serious, it's just a small matter." Mogami Jun shrugged.
However, the boy and the girl ran to the god who controls marriage to draw lots, and they had to draw the best lot. What exactly does this mean?
