"I understand, I understand. You don't have to emphasize this to me again and again." Mogami Sayuki interrupted him with some annoyance. "I said that I won't butt in on this matter anymore. It's your freedom to like whoever you want. I really have no right to interfere, and I don't want to interfere. Who can stop a child from jumping into a pit? However, there is one thing I want to make clear to you. Even if I don't interfere, I have my preferences. I prefer Asana. If it's Asana, I will be very happy. If it's anyone else, I won't be so happy. That's all."

"Okay, I understand." Mogami Jun could only shrug. Just as her mother said, she had her own freedom, so she could also have her own preferences.

He also knew that his mother was also a very stubborn and strong person, so it was already good enough for her to be able to do this.

"Well, let's just let this matter pass. No one should mention it again." Mogami Sayuki returned to her usual coldness. "Let's talk about another thing--"

"Is it about those medicines?" asked Jun Mogami.

"Yes." Mogami Sayuki nodded in confirmation. "After getting the medicine, we sent it directly to the laboratory for testing. Although there is no way to fully analyze its ingredients and mechanism of action, from the ingredients that have been found so far, it can stimulate the human central nervous system and greatly improve the body's short-term cognitive ability. It is similar to modafinil, but the effect may be even stronger than it—"

"In other words, is it confirmed that this is the drug developed by Hyoudou Takako and others?" Mogami Jun became slightly excited.

"Yes, it is basically certain that it is that drug. Although the mechanism of action and side effects of the drug are currently unknown, it is enough." Mogami Sayuki replied, "But... proving that it is that drug does not mean proving that it is something of Hyoudou Takako, so don't be too happy."

"——Of course I know that." Jun Mogami was a little disappointed, although he knew that what his mother said was true.

With the wealth and status of the Hyoudou family, even if Hyoudou Takako was really exposed, she could easily hire a team of luxurious lawyers. Even if the evidence was irrefutable, she would have a way to exonerate herself, so she acted so unscrupulously.

So even if these drugs are used to incriminate her, it still won't be able to defeat her. She can just admit that these things have nothing to do with her and that she was framed.

After all, money has woven a tight web for people like her that can block all the open and secret attacks from the outside world. Only when she loses the backing of wealth will the punishment of justice befall her.

"Don't be depressed, everything you did was meaningful, and it helped us a lot." Perhaps she noticed that Mogami Jun was a little unhappy, so Mogami Sayuki comforted her son, "Although it's meaningless to take out this kind of thing now, it will be completely different when Hyoudou Kazuo dies. By then, the Hyoudou family will be unable to take care of themselves, and the outside world will take the opportunity to settle accounts with the Hyoudou family. No one will protect Hyoudou Takako wholeheartedly anymore. We can let Hyoudou Takako have a good taste of our power--"

"You're right, that's right." Mogami Jun agreed with his mother. "I will continue to collect witnesses and physical evidence, and I will make sure it's detailed enough for her to deny it."

"Be safe. What you've done is enough for me now. I don't need you to take any more risks." Mogami Sayuki objected. "Just do what you should do now, son. I'm proud of you for that."

"Thank you, but is this the reward I get? Pride?" Jun Mogami joked.

"Of course it won't be just a small reward!" Mogami Sayuki couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, considering that you have made such a huge contribution, the reward will be very generous, and it will definitely make your hard work worthwhile."

"What exactly is the reward?" Mogami Jun was a little curious.

"There is a box on your bedside table. There is a credit card in it. If you want to buy something in the future, just swipe the card. Someone will pay for it until you graduate from college." Mogami Sayuki did not keep her in suspense and answered directly. "In other words, someone will pay for your pocket money for the next few years. Isn't that good enough?"

"This is quite generous..." Mogami Jun secretly smacked his lips.

He suddenly remembered some movie plots, so he asked boldly, "Then... is this card unlimited? Like a super VIP card?"

"Hahaha, how is that possible? You're dreaming. How can I let you overdraw indefinitely? What if you suddenly want to buy the Tokyo Tower?!" Mogami Sayuki couldn't help laughing. "There is a limit on the amount, and you can't exceed the spending limit every month. Of course, it's no problem to buy some electronic products or prepare for college travel."

"Ah, so that's it..."

After hearing his mother's explanation, Jun Mogami's initial excitement faded a lot. The reward was not as huge as he had imagined.

He doesn't have strong material desires and doesn't have any special hobbies, so he doesn't spend much money.

Besides, he himself was not short of money.

But having said that, it was a pleasant surprise to receive such a reward, and he was not dissatisfied at all.

Even if I can't overdraw indefinitely, at least daily consumption should be no problem. I can buy some expensive gifts for Asana in return.

Asana must have her own credit card, and the things she bought for herself must have been purchased with her own card.

When he thought of this, he felt much better.

"Okay, Mom, thank you." He thanked her sincerely.

"This is what you deserve." Mogami Sayuki replied calmly, "Well, I have almost said everything I need to say. Goodbye--"

"Good night." Jun Mogami said goodbye to his mother.

Then he put away his phone and walked into his bedroom, where he found a packed gift box on the bedside table.

He opened the package and found the card lying inside the box.

He took out the card and looked at it carefully, and found that it was indeed not the legendary Swiss black card, but just an ordinary Mizuho Bank credit card.

However, it is such an inconspicuous, small piece of plastic that can allow me to not worry about pocket money for several years... It is impossible to say that I am not happy.

He couldn't help but laugh silently - Thank you, Mom!

============================================

The short holiday ended with the arrival of dawn, and it was time to go back to school. Mogami Jun came to school as usual.

"Mogami, why do you look so happy today?" Class monitor Hirofumi Hanyu asked curiously as soon as they met.

"Ah, something happy happened recently--" replied Jun Mogami.

"That's what I thought." Hanyu Hirofumi couldn't help but laugh.

Then, his eyes were drawn to the shiny object in Jun Mogami's chest pocket.

He looked at it carefully and found that it seemed to be a pen.

Moreover, this fountain pen looks like a high-end product no matter how you look at it.

"I didn't expect you to start using luxury goods—" Hanyu Hirofumi said with a hint of envy, "Such a beautiful fountain pen must have cost a lot of money."

He did not doubt the origin of the pen. After all, he had long known that Jun Mogami came from a wealthy family. He was just a little surprised why Jun Mogami, who usually did not care about anything, suddenly used a luxury item.

"I suddenly felt like trying to write with a fountain pen, so I bought it." Mogami Jun replied calmly, "Occasionally I spend money for my hobbies."

"Nothing, just a little surprised." Hanyu Hirofumi waved his hand. "You are free to use whatever you want, but I think since you are a student, it is better to keep it simple..."

"Okay, let's not talk about big principles at this time, class monitor." Mogami Jun spread his hands, "If I have time recently, I would like to treat everyone to a meal in the restaurant. Yes, it's my treat."

"That must cost a lot of money, right?" Hanyu Hirofumi was a little surprised. "Why?"

"Because I'm happy." Mogami Jun gave an irrefutable answer, "We haven't gathered together for a long time recently. Isn't it nice to have a good time?"

"That's true..." Hanyu Hirofumi nodded, then looked at him suspiciously, "But why are you so generous all of a sudden?"

"You can think of it as completing a task. I think I should spend a certain amount of money every month, otherwise I'll feel like I'm losing out—" Mogami Jun replied.

“I don’t understand…” Hanyu Hirofumi shook his head, “But I always feel a little envious of you.”

"Then take revenge on me by having a big meal." Jun Mogami laughed.

307, hypocrisy?

Before Mogami Jun could get excited for long, he suddenly received a notice from his homeroom teacher saying that the chairman of the board wanted him to come over and tell him something.

Although it was an honor to be a student in any way, Jun Mogami did not feel happy.

He had a vague feeling that something must have happened—and it must be something bad.

It should be related to the previous attack on Sagihara Masao.

Of course, even though he had a premonition, he did not feel nervous. He had long thought that this matter would not end so easily, and he was mentally prepared.

Kurosaki Yoshihiro and the people behind him are indeed scary, but since he has Tonegawa Yukio as his backer, there is nothing to be afraid of. At worst, he can just put the blame on Tonegawa. Anyway, it was he who asked himself to send Sagihara Masao to him in the first place.

With this confidence, he went straight to the school's administrative building at noon, and then, led by his secretary, came to the spacious office of the chairman.

Chairman Nobuyasu Horikawa was sitting behind his desk at this time, apparently looking at some documents.

"Chairman, I'm here." Upon seeing the old man sitting in the office chair, Mogami Jun bowed very respectfully and said, "Excuse me, is there anything I can tell you?"

"You should know what I want to tell you, right?" The old man put down the file and looked up at Mogami Jun. "You really are a troublemaker."

"I admit that you are right, but on the other hand, I am also good at solving problems for others, right?" Mogami Jun asked with a smile, "At least I solved the problem in a way that everyone can accept."

"Is it really resolved?" the chairman asked impatiently, "Although you sent Sagihara Masao away, his master hasn't given up yet."

"In other words, Kurosaki Yoshihiro and the others are still tracking down his whereabouts?" Mogami Jun probably understood what the chairman meant, "They are putting pressure on you."

"He is indeed putting pressure on me, but it's no big deal." The chairman shook his head. "They are in the wrong in this matter. How can they have the nerve to force me?"

"Then why did you..." Mogami Jun was a little confused again.

"It's not me, or even you, who are under pressure right now." The chairman frowned, then raised his voice, "Have you ever thought about this? Sakihara Masao disappeared quietly in our school. What is the only clue they can think of now? What will they do?"

These two questions made Mogami Jun a little confused, and he frowned and thought for a moment.

But soon, he figured it out.

Then he raised his head and looked at the chairman with an incredulous look, "Is it Sagihara-senpai? They started looking for Sagihara-senpai?"

With the chairman's reminder, he finally thought of a problem that he had not thought about carefully before.

Novel qun nine⑤80㈠⑨○㈨

Sagihara Masao was inexplicably trapped in Kitaakibane Academy, where his daughter also studied, and there were huge conflicts between them.

Therefore, even if there is no intelligence proving that Sagihara Shion is related to this matter, they should immediately think that Sagihara Shion is a huge suspect.

At least we should find Sagihara Shion and interrogate her carefully.

Although we don't know what kind of style Kurosaki Yoshihiro and others usually do, but judging from the behavior of Hyodo Takako, Tonegawa Yukio and others, his methods must be brutal, cruel and lawless.

In other words, the danger faced by Sagihara Shion has not disappeared, and may even have become greater.

When he thought of this, he felt a little annoyed with himself.

It wasn't the regret that hit Sagihara Masao, but the fact that he didn't take the initiative to stand up and handle the situation himself, which instead let his senior sister be caught in the vortex of the storm.

If Senior Sagihara were to encounter any danger, no matter what he gained from Sagihara Masao's time, it would go against his original intention.

Therefore, the most urgent task now is to take charge of the matter as soon as possible and let Kurosaki Yoshihiro and the others know that this matter was done by himself and has nothing to do with Sagihara Shion.

"Don't be so nervous." Seeing Mogami Jun's eyes, Horikawa Nobuyasu knew what he was thinking, "It hasn't come to that point yet. They are just trying to contact Sagihara Shion without my help. The situation is still under control."

"Is that all?" Mogami Jun became even more anxious. "Then is there any way to tell them the truth through your channels?"

"For her, are you willing to expose yourself?" Nobuyasu Horikawa asked back.

"Of course. Putting aside my personal feelings for her, isn't it common sense to take responsibility for what you do? I'm not a big shot, but I don't need to use a girl as a shield." Mogami Jun answered as a matter of course, "Please convey it for me and tell him that no matter what the conditions are, just say it. I don't think they dare to do anything to me without Hyoudou Takako and Mr. Tonegawa. If it doesn't work, I will report it to Hyoudou Takako and see who is afraid in the end."

"I've already said that it hasn't come to that point yet, so you don't have to worry." Horikawa Nobuyasu interrupted him. "Why don't you listen to the advice of an old man first?"

"What do you mean?" Mogami Jun was a little surprised, but he calmed down. "Just tell me."

"Tell everything to Sagihara Shion first, and then spend time with her." Horikawa Nobuyasu looked at the boy in front of him, and then said calmly, "No matter what happened, at least let her face it herself."

"I'm afraid this is not a good idea..." Jun Mogami shook his head.

In the beginning, he chose to attack Sagihara Masao by himself because he didn't want to trouble his senior, and he has been keeping the secret until now. He really doesn't want to give up all his efforts.

"I know that given Sagihara Shion's current situation, it seems that she shouldn't be distracted by these things, but since things have already happened and danger is beginning to gather towards her, you should let her face it all by herself. This is better than being ignorant and suddenly falling into a trap - you can't play the role of her god and decide what she should and shouldn't know about things that are closely related to her."

The chairman looked at Mogami Jun calmly, and then suddenly asked, "Can you ensure that you can eliminate all dangers and malice from the outside world for her and give her an ignorant happiness? If you can, you can do it according to your own wishes, but ask yourself, do you really have such ability now?"

The chairman's question left Mogami Jun speechless.

Although he has always been proud, he still has a clear mind, so he can't say such big words as "I alone can block all the malice in the world and give her ignorant happiness."

What's the point of lying if it can't bring happiness to an ignorant person?

"I admit that you are a hero to her and you have helped her a lot. But in the end, you can't live out a person's entire life for her. Even heroes have their limits." Horikawa Nobuyasu looked at Mogami Jun with a complicated look and slowed down his tone, "Let her face her own life. Perhaps this is her sad fate."

"Why does senior have to be like this..." Mogami Jun bit his lip in dissatisfaction, "She obviously did nothing wrong, but she always gets implicated. It's so unfair."

Although he knew that what the chairman said made sense, the word "fate" made him feel very angry.

"The world is always unfair. Although this fact is unpleasant, it is an indisputable fact." The old man sighed. "At this moment when we are chatting, many people in the world are living in dire straits. They are hungry and cold, like the walking dead. They don't even have time to think about the philosophical question of whether the world is fair like us. What did they do wrong? No, they were just born in a cursed environment. Just being born there means that they are destined to give all their strength to survive. Compared with them, Sagihara Shion is not even the worst. After all, she still has the opportunity to receive a high-quality education and can see hope for the future."

After a pause, he glanced at Mogami Jun again, "Even you and I are part of the beneficiaries of this unfair system. I'm old and no longer afraid to tell the truth. We can both make this clear. Just because you are willing to be her hero doesn't mean you can be everyone's hero. After all, you are also part of the beneficiary, aren't you?"

The old man's straightforward words left Mogami Jun speechless again.

Indeed, these are true.

"I haven't thought about being everyone's hero. I'm not that kind-hearted. I just like to help people I like, that's all." After a moment, he whispered back, "There's no doubt that I will benefit from this unfair system. I will do everything I can to make myself stand higher than others. I will be like you, with my hands covered in dust. But even so - I still want to be a hero in front of someone and satisfy my own expectations... You may think this is ridiculous and hypocritical, and even I think so myself, but I still want to do it."

"No, I'm not hypocritical. This is probably how humans live. Most of the time, we fight with each other, but there is always some light in our hearts." The old man laughed, then sighed, "Everyone has been young, but some people grow old, while some people remain young forever."

Mogami Jun didn't quite understand this nonsensical remark for a moment, so he didn't respond.

"Okay, let's not go off topic." Horikawa Nobuyasu retracted his gaze and returned to his usual calmness. "Anyway, I will continue to help you withstand the pressure from Kurosaki Yoshihiro, but you also have to explain the situation to Sagihara Shion, listen to her opinions, and then help her avoid any open or secret attacks. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Jun Mogami nodded decisively.

"Well, I have said everything that needs to be made clear. You can go back now." The chairman waved his hand.

But to his surprise, the young man in front of him did not turn around and leave, but still stood there with a frown, as if thinking about something.

"Do you have anything else to say?" the old man asked again.

He had some understanding of the young man. Although he was arrogant and sarcastic, he would not easily do such a rude thing.

So maybe he's upset because he's worried about Sagihara Shion?
