The strongest high school student in Japan

"Very good, it seems you had a very pleasant conversation." Mogami Sayuki immediately laughed, and then winked at Mogami Jun, as if praising her son for finally being sensible this time.

We should end here today. If we do anything more, it will seem that we are too impatient and we will lose face for no reason.

"It's really a pleasure to spend time with you today, ma'am." Mogami Sayuki and her son respectfully bowed to the mother and daughter opposite, then left the side hall with Mogami Jun.

Of course, Izumo and her daughter left with them and saw them off respectfully.

After Izumo Asana returned to her mother, she never said another word and just followed her mother silently.

It was not until she came to the place where people usually hung their drawn lots that she started to make some slightly different movements.

She first stopped, then carefully took out the lot she had just drawn from her arms, folded it into four folds vertically, put it in the place where it was tied, and then inserted the two ends into the center of the knot.

Then she tied the folded sticks directly to the rope and mixed them with thousands of other sticks tied by other people.

The action of tying the lots is actually to "establish a connection" with God, or it can be simply understood as communicating with God. If you tie them with a pious heart and communicate well with God, you will be able to receive the blessing of God.

It’s a pity that the communication between her and the god was not very smooth this time. She didn’t know why she had prayed devoutly in the shrine, but in the end she only drew the most unlucky one.

A standard bad sign.

So when she saw the signature just now, her first reaction was to put it away so as not to affect the emotions of others.

If you draw a very unlucky fortune stick, you cannot bring it back home, otherwise it will bring bad luck. You must hang it at the shrine to drive away the bad luck.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as the bad luck is driven away by the gods, everything will be fine...at least that’s what Asana believes.

Her entire movement was easy, smooth and natural, and she completed it all in a short time. Then she continued to move forward, following her mother, and together they walked out of the shrine with the Mogami mother and son.

And the time has come for them to leave.

The mother and daughter stood respectfully at the door until the figures of the Mogami mother and son disappeared before they took any action again.

"What's the result of the divination?" Mrs. Izumo asked her daughter in her usual calm tone without even turning her head.

Her first question was not about Asana's feelings, nor about the young man's conversation and knowledge, but about the result of the divination.

This was of course within Asana's expectations.

Izumo Asana smiled calmly and bowed slightly respectfully. "Both are very auspicious, Mom. So we just hung the fortune sticks together and thanked the gods for blessings..."

"Are they all auspicious?" Mrs. Izumo's expression did not change, but there was a little more light in her eyes. "That's not bad..."

133. Izumo clan

After saying goodbye to the Izumo mother and daughter, Mogami Jun left the shrine with his mother and got into his mother's car, which also announced the successful conclusion of today's blind date event.

As soon as she got in the car, Mogami Sayuki inserted the key and started the car, then asked her son in the passenger seat.

"Son, how do you feel about that lady?"

"Yes, very cute." Mogami Jun replied.

"Is it just cute...?" Mogami Sayuki asked back.

The adjective "cute" is the most popular adjective among Japanese people. Any woman can be described as cute, so Mogami Sayuki naturally felt that her son was just being perfunctory.

"I'm not saying this against my will. It's really cute." Mogami Jun smiled bitterly.

"Don't you have any special feelings for Miss Izumo? Such a gentle and quiet lady is rare nowadays." As if unwilling to give up, Mogami Sayuki persuaded her son again. "Although I just met her for the first time today and I can't know her too well, but she makes me feel comfortable just standing there. Maybe it's worth getting to know her better."

Seeing how hard Sayuki Mogami tries, it is hard to believe that she was actually against this arranged marriage at the beginning. This shows that as long as the two are in love, principles are not a problem.

"Mom, I actually agree that she is indeed the kind of person who is comfortable to get along with, but it is too early to talk about this now. I don't want to have to settle down at such a young age, otherwise I will regret it in the future and there will be no way to recover the precious time I have lost." Mogami Jun still insisted on his opinion, "I have already told her just now."

He then repeated to his mother the conversation he had just had with Izumo Asana.

When Mogami Sayuki heard that Izumo Asana had taken the initiative to hint to Mogami Jun that there would be a "next time", but Mogami Jun directly refused, she was speechless.

Although she felt it was a pity, her son had already made the decision, so what else was there to say?

"Well, since it's your lifelong event, you can make your own decision. Let's leave it at that. I won't push you any further." Mogami Sayuki drove the car out of the parking space, then suddenly smiled again, "This is also good. My son knows how to make plans for himself."

The car slowly accelerated and finally merged into the huge traffic flow in Tokyo.

Along the way, Mogami Sayuki remained silent. Mogami Jun also knew that although his mother didn't say much, she must be very regretful in her heart.

That’s right, a girl like Izumo Asana must be what mothers expect of their daughter-in-law.

If a few years pass, maybe he will think differently...

Not long after, they returned to their home in Chiyoda from Akasaka Hikawa Shrine in Minato Ward.

Just when Jun Mogami was about to get off the bus, his mother, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke again.

"Is it because of that Sagihara Shion? It seems like you two have a close relationship."

"Why do you ask?" Jun Mogami stopped.

"You just need to tell me if it is true." Sayuki Mogami still looked at her son.

Was it because of Sagihara-senpai that she refused? Mogami Jun thought about it, but couldn't come up with an answer.

If he said it was all for the senior, he didn't think so at the time. If he said it had nothing to do with the senior, that might not be right...

"That's a little bit of the reason." In the end, he could only answer cautiously.

"Ah..." Mogami Sayuki suddenly sighed. "If I had to choose, I would choose Asana."

Then she smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Forget it, you have your freedom too. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm your mother and I will naturally respect your choice. But there is one thing I want to remind you of. If, if you cherish this friendship, then you should protect it well."

"What do you mean?" Mogami Jun was a little confused.

"Your grandfather is a man who will never give up until he achieves his goal. He has been working hard for you for a long time and will not give up easily. He might even vent his anger on other people." Mogami Sayuki said in a low voice.

"What? Are they going to threaten senior sister again?!" Mogami Jun was shocked and angry, "Absolutely not!"

"He won't threaten with violence. Bureaucrats are the ones who hate violence the most." Mogami Sayuki shook her head, then replied with a smile, "But you also know that in addition to physical harm, there are many other ways to make others listen to your opinions in the world..."

"No matter what, he has no right to do that!" Mogami Jun answered firmly, "This has nothing to do with me, I won't forgive him if he does that!"

"It's great that you think so. Then you should take all your responsibilities like a man." Mogami Sayuki smiled with relief and opened the car door. "Son, mom supports you!"

................................................

The mother and son took out their ID cards and entered the building, then swiped the cards and took the elevator back to their floor.

When they opened the door, they were surprised to find that not only Mogami Kiyoshi was at home during the holiday, but even Mogami Jun's grandfather, Kousuke Hezawa, was there.

The two elders were sitting together at the tea table and chatting at this time. When they saw the mother and son coming back, they stopped talking and looked serious.

There was no need to guess, Mogami Sayuki and Mogami Jun naturally knew why their grandfather Kousuke Hezawa came.

Because she had a very bad relationship with her father, when she saw the old man coming, Mogami Sayuki didn't put on a good face. She just walked to her father's side politely, nodded, and then sat down herself. Kawasawa Kosuke also pretended not to see his daughter and just turned his eyes to his grandson.

"Chun, you're back. How was the talk?" he asked directly.

"Maybe it's not going very smoothly..." Because he had prepared himself mentally, Mogami Jun also thought about how to report it, so he answered immediately, "I don't think I like it very much."

"Huh? You don't like it? Why?" Heze Kangjie was obviously a little surprised. "I've seen that kid before, he's obviously pretty good. Is there anything else you're not satisfied with?"

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied with anything... I just really don't feel anything." Mogami Jun replied with a wry smile.

"Feelings can be cultivated, and it doesn't mean you have to have feelings to be together." Heze Kangjie interrupted his grandson, "Since there is nothing about her that makes you dissatisfied, why can't you hold on a little longer?"

"But they might not think the same way..." Mogami Jun could only continue to perfunctorily answer his grandfather.

"You don't have to worry about that. The Izumo family called me just now..." Heze Kousuke answered directly, "They said they were very satisfied with you, and the god's divination was also quite smooth, so they are willing to continue to contact you."

"Ah?!" Jun Mogami and his mother looked at each other in surprise.

Generally speaking, women will be relatively reserved in such matters and will not make a decision so quickly. Even if they are satisfied, they will wait for the man to continue to express his opinion. However, this time the Izumo family responded so quickly. If you calculate the time, they called Kousuke Hezawa not long after Mogami Sayuki and her son left the shrine. This speed is really unusual.

Hey, are you in such a hurry to marry off your daughter? And your reason is too weird. Since when did "the god's divination was quite smooth" become an excuse? Besides, I just drew a small lucky number. Is it necessary to react so exaggeratedly...

Mogami Jun kept complaining in his mind and forgot to answer.

"Are they in such a hurry? I can see that Miss Yun is pretty good, with good looks and a very nice personality, so why are they in such a hurry?" At this time, Mogami Sayuki also raised her doubts, "When I just talked to Mrs. Izumo in detail, I felt that she was very humble and polite. It was obvious that she came from a noble family. How could she do such an obviously rude thing... Is there any hidden reason?"

"So do you know why I chose this family?" Heze Kangjie suddenly looked at his daughter mysteriously, "If you knew the whole story, you wouldn't be so surprised."

"Eh? Is there really a reason for this?" Mogami Sayuki's eyes widened. "Please tell me."

"This matter is quite complicated... I will try to be brief, please don't spread it." Heze Yasuke lowered his voice, "The Izumo family was a well-known industrialist in the Meiji era. After several generations of development, they have accumulated a large amount of family property. However, when it came to the previous head of the Izumo family, that is, Miss Izumo's grandfather, the family had already said goodbye to the industry and did other things."

"What do you mean...other things?" asked Mogami Sayuki.

"It's just some wasteful things like romance, painting, vocal music, etc." Heze Kangjie replied with disdain. "Since their generation, their family has not produced any outstanding talents. The whole family has been doing some inexplicable things on the wealth accumulated by their ancestors. For example, Miss Izumo's father likes to study and collect ancient cultural buildings and artworks from all over the world. He has become a famous collector in the industry, but what's the use of these things? None of them can run the business of their ancestors, and no one is even willing to run a business, so they have no choice but to sell the business to outsiders and completely withdraw from the industry."

"So that's how it is... No wonder Mrs. Izumo seemed to know so much about the shrine stuff when we were talking just now. It turns out her husband is an expert in this area..." Mogami Sayuki finally understood. "That makes sense. She actually values ​​divination so much. I guess she's obsessed with it because she studies it regularly."

After a moment, she was confused again. "If that's the case, isn't it obvious that this family is on the decline? If that's the case, then why did they introduce Chun to them... I still don't quite understand."

"The next step is the key." Heze Kangjie smiled mysteriously, "The previous head of the family also saw the family's decline, so he made a decision to transfer the family's property into a trust, which will be managed by lawyers and special managers. His descendants can only receive income from these properties. Then he left a will when he died. Only after his granddaughter gets married and has children, can the property be used by her again. This can be regarded as his last preventive measure."

“So that’s how it is…” Mogami Sayuki opened her eyes wide.

She finally understood the whole story.

"So the Izumo couple wanted their daughter to get married as soon as possible in order to use the property as soon as possible. No wonder they started arranging blind dates so early. I see..."

After a moment, she looked a little sad again, as if she felt sorry for Asana. "They are too much. How can they just...ah for such a reason."

Not only Mogami Sayuki, but even Mogami Jun couldn't help but feel a little sympathy after knowing the whole story.

The young lady who seems to have no worries about food and clothing and lives in a paradise on earth, turns out to be burdened with some things that make her breathless.

No wonder she seemed so helpless when I was chatting with her just now.

"That is to say, even if it wasn't me, the Izumo family would find a way to find someone to marry her as soon as possible, right?" Mogami Jun asked in a low voice.

"Of course, if they didn't have such a plan, they wouldn't have arranged it everywhere." Heze Kangjie nodded, "This time I can be considered to have seized the initiative by relying on our old friendship."

"People from the Izumo family are not easy to deal with, after hearing how you described them..." Mogami Sayuki was still a little hesitant.

"It's a good thing that the Izumo clan has no talents. If they were still as powerful as before, how could they look down on us?" Compared to his daughter's sympathy, Heze Kangjie seemed to be gloating. "So, everyone gets what they need. Isn't it good for Chun to help them glorify their family name?"

Although the old man still didn't say it explicitly, everyone present now understood the meaning of his words.

If Jun Mogami and Asana Izumo were together and got married and had children early, according to the will, the huge fortune left by the late head of the Izumo family would be unsealed and given to Asana Izumo for use.

The Izumo couple wanted to use their daughter to access the huge fortune, but it seems that Mogami Jun could do it as well...it would be obvious who would benefit from it in the end.

Suddenly, the three people's eyes were focused on Mogami Jun.

"Chun, now I have told you everything. You should know the importance of this matter, and you should also know what it means--" Heze Kangjie looked at his grandson expectantly, "Chun, with your ability, isn't it easy to make a young child who is not well-versed in the world obey you? Now it seems that her family likes you very much, so what is there to worry about? Besides, this is something that is good for everyone..."

Mogami Jun bit his lip.

What my grandfather said actually makes sense. Perhaps at this moment, there is indeed unimaginable huge wealth lying in the bank's account books, waiting for his favor.

But is this a reason to sell out yourself?

"I'm sorry, grandpa, please allow me to refuse." He then replied calmly.

Let me explain, in the previous chapter, Asana concealed the fact that she had drawn a very unlucky lot from her mother because if her mother knew, the matter would be over...so she simply concealed it, without any other ill intention.

As for why she did this...of course she wanted to continue to develop o(*￣︶￣*)o

134, run away

"I'm sorry, Grandpa, please allow me to refuse."

Although Mogami Jun's voice was not loud, it was like a bucket of cold water poured on the head of Kousuke Hezawa, who had been in high spirits, and the gray-haired old man was stunned.

“What...? Say it again?” For a moment he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

Although he has retired, Kousuke Hezawa has been a senior official in the Ministry of Finance for many years. Over the years, he has developed an aura of authority that comes without even getting angry. In an instant, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze.

However, even so, Jun Mogami's expression did not waver at all.

He has made his decision, and he will not change it because of an old man's mood.

"I said, I refuse. I don't want to think about such things about the Izumo family." He repeated calmly.

A dark aura flashed across the old man's face. He moved his mouth as if he wanted to scold this ungrateful boy, but in the end he held back.

"What's the reason?" He tried his best to suppress his anger, then stared at Mogami Jun and asked. "Are you dissatisfied with the eldest daughter of the Izumo family?"

"It's not because of this reason. Miss Izumo actually left a good impression on me. But even so, I still want to refuse—" Mogami Jun expressed his will again, "As for the reason... what other reason do I need? Grandpa, don't you think this is all ridiculous? It's too weird. Miss Izumo and I are only in our teens. Why do we have to consider the issue of lifelong affairs? In this era, there should be no such thing! So, please allow me to refuse."

"So, you refused... just for such a ridiculous reason? You're too young?" Heze Kangjie narrowed his eyes and bit his lip hard. "You shouldn't be so willful at your age, right, Chun? Do you think you will definitely encounter such a good thing again in ten years? Think about it, what is there about Miss Izumo that you can't stand? Does it make any difference if it's ten years earlier or later?"

"I admit that what you said makes sense. Maybe in another ten or twenty years, or even forever, I won't have such an opportunity again. But so what? At least I want to live a normal youth life now. Please understand me." Mogami Jun still insisted on his own idea.
