Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

"After you decide on the time and place, have Yukino-san convey it to me."

After saying that, Taichi hung up the phone without hesitation and returned the phone to Yukinoshita Yukino.

"…Are you planning to involve the Yukinoshita family?" After all, Yukinoshita Yukino is a smart person. She realized this from Taichi's conversation just now.

"Yeah." Tai nodded and replied, "There is still a big gap in the construction industry over there. In addition, the times are different. Whether it is speed or efficiency, it is far inferior to the construction industry in modern society."

"To be honest, if possible, I would prefer to cooperate with the infrastructure maniac, but unfortunately..."

It is not easy to establish diplomatic relations with a country.

On the contrary, it is easier to integrate capital.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for thinking highly of my Yukinoshita family." Yukino sighed, not knowing what to say.

Her father had just become a member of the Gifu Prefecture council, and yet he received another big piece of cream cake at this time.

I really don’t know what choice the Yukinoshita family will make.

If Chiba were still alive, both his father and mother would definitely refuse this piece of cream cake.

But Chiba is already in name only.

The Yukinoshita family's foundation has completely collapsed.

Even the position of Gifu Prefecture councilor was obtained with Taichi's strong assistance.

Although she was not quite clear about the current situation at home, she could guess that after moving from Kanto to Kansai, the Yukinoshita family should be having a hard time, both within and outside the faction.

Therefore, the possibility of catching Taiyi's piece of cream cake suddenly increased.

Plus, the man in front of him is the emperor of the new country...

Considering various historical events, Yukinoshita Yukino had no doubt that in order to win the favor of the Emperor, her parents would send a daughter to this man's harem.

And that person could most likely be herself.

The more she thought about it, the more headache she got. She even imagined that she might have to compete openly or secretly with countless women in the future. Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but glare at Taichi fiercely.

I suddenly regretted opening the door for him.

"Okay, let's stop here for today." Taichi glanced at the time, took a sip of the straw, drank the Coke in the cup and said to Yuigahama Yui and Yukinoshita Yukino, "The formal thank-you banquet will be held later. It's getting late now, so you should go back quickly so that your families won't worry."

"Wow, it's almost nine o'clock!" Yuigahama Yui was stunned for a moment, took out her phone to check the time and the dense text message notifications, and her facial features wrinkled, "Damn it, my mother will definitely give me a lesson."

"Xiaoxue, can I stay there tonight?" Yuigahama Yui hugged Yukinoshita Yukino's arm and started to act coquettishly.

In the end, the two of them took a taxi to Yukinoshita's apartment.

Of course, Taiyi helped pay for the fare.

Let Aix transfer the money.

"Although Jeanne has said a lot, I haven't had time to ask for more details." After Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui left, Shinjo Akane stretched and looked at Taichi, "Tell me everything when you go back."

……

"Wow! We've only been out of touch for ten days, but I feel like I haven't heard your voice for more than half a year, Taichi!" The voice coming from the phone was Takamaki An's exclamation.

"Do you like me so much, Xing?" Taiyi teased.

"...Huh? Taiyi, you seem to have changed a lot." After hearing Taiyi's teasing, Gao Juan An was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise and doubt.

"Well, I've been through a lot during this time, so my personality has changed a lot." Taiyi explained, "We'll talk about the details when we meet later."

"Well then." Takamaki An temporarily put aside her doubts. "You don't know that when the news of your disappearance came, Shiho almost cried. We had agreed to visit her house after you sorted out your problems."

"I'm so sorry. Please apologize to Shiho for me."

Chapter 6: Shinomiya Kaguya Speaks

Minato-ku, Shinomiya Residence, seven in the morning.

"Miss, did you have a nightmare?" As a maid high school student with super high school level observation skills, Hayasaka Ai noticed at a glance that there was something wrong with Shinomiya Kaguya when she woke up.

Unlike her usual nonchalant attitude, the eldest lady's brows were actually frowned the whole time.

"Well - rather than saying it was a nightmare, it's better to say that the dream I had last night was a little too strange." Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head and explained, "Of course, the strangest thing is that I was clearly dreaming, but after I woke up I still remembered it clearly... It was as if it had just happened not long ago."

"If you're willing, Miss, I can help you get up and listen to you at the same time." Hayasaka Ai's hands moved without a single pause.

"Well, since you want to hear it so much, I'll tell you a little bit!"

Shinomiya Kaguya only reveals her innocent side in front of Hayasaka Ai.

"That happened in an ancient castle standing in the ice and snow..."

"... In other words, in your dream, I became a Saiyan who can fight against powerful enemies in the air?" Hayasaka Ai looked at Hayasaka Ai with an expression of disbelief. "Although I have learned a little bit of fighting skills, flying in the air and fighting against enemies riding on flying chariots... Miss, do you have any misunderstandings about me?"

"I told you it was just a dream. I didn't treat you as a maid for battle, Hayasaka!"

"However, considering that I in the young lady's dream have to take care of three young ladies at the same time, I can't help turning into a Saiyan." Hayasaka Ai continued with a sigh with an attitude of 'there's really nothing I can do'.

"Wait, do you, Hayasaka, dislike me in some sense?" Shinomiya Kaguya glanced at Hayasaka Ai dimly, "Well, forget it, that's not the problem."

"To be honest, watching the same scene from three different perspectives, and with three completely different mentalities, is a bit disgusting to me." Kaguya Shinomiya placed her hand on her forehead and sighed slightly, "But now I can still remember those three perspectives clearly, which makes it even harder for me to accept."

"So, Miss, do you want to make an appointment with a psychiatrist?" After Hayasaka Ai tidied up Kaguya Shinomiya's clothes, she stood up and looked at Kaguya Shinomiya and asked, "I can help you join today's schedule."

"What's today's schedule?" Shinomiya Kaguya raised her eyebrows and looked at Hayasaka Ai.

"Well, yes." Hayasaka Ai nodded and replied, "Your meeting with Suzuki Sonoko, the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, has been temporarily cancelled." Hayasaka Ai nodded and replied.

"Let me guess...Okay, there's no need to guess. The fact that that guy turned down the meeting with me without hesitation must be related to that girl named Mori." Veins popped out on Shinomiya Kaguya's forehead.

In fact, including this time, Suzuki Sonoko has temporarily canceled nearly a dozen meet-and-greet meetings with Shinomiya Kaguya.

And the reason for turning down the meet-and-greet every time was that Suzuki Sonoko wanted to accompany her childhood sweetheart, a girl named "Mouri Ran" to go shopping and play.

Although it might be a bit taboo, Kaguya Shinomiya still asked Hayasaka Ai to investigate the girl named Mao Li Ran.

As for the result...even Kaguya Shinomiya, who had long been disappointed with human nature and no longer had any expectations, developed an attitude of "envy, jealousy and hatred" towards Suzuki Sonoko.

If there are angels on earth, I think they should be like Mao Lilan.

It’s just a pity that he is too naive.

This is also the reason why Kaguya Shinomiya did not try to get to know Ran Mouri.

She is not on the same path as the other party.

Apart from further realizing her own "dirtiness" and "unscrupulousness", she could not learn anything from the other party.

Anyone who cannot serve as food on the ladder of growth is not qualified to be Kaguya Shinomiya's friend.

"If the young lady could stop grinding her teeth and muttering Miss Suzuki's name, I might trust her a little more." Hayasaka Ai muttered silently in her heart.

"So, Miss, do you want to use the free time to communicate with a psychologist?" Hayasaka Ai looked at Shinomiya Kaguya and asked.

"...That's it." Kaguya Shinomiya, who needed to maintain a perfect posture at all times, nodded, "Try to ensure that this itinerary will not be known to anyone."

"...Yes." Hayasaka Ai, who was forced to lurk beside Shinomiya Kaguya as a spy and was responsible for reporting her itinerary to Shinomiya Huang Guang every day, felt her heart suddenly tighten.

……

As usual, he got out of his private car gracefully and walked towards the teaching building in a manner that attracted everyone's attention.

Shinomiya Kaguya kept her facial expression at a level that didn't make people feel too aloof, but she also didn't dare to come over and talk to anyone without permission.

"President Shinomiya is so cool!"

"As expected of the strongest student council president ever!"

"I feel like if it were me, I could probably join the student union if I tried hard, right?"

"Don't dream. Although it's heaven, it's also hell."

"Ah... Vice President Fujiwara."

"Kaguya-chan!" The expression on Kaguya Shinomiya's face froze when a piece of meat suddenly appeared from behind.

So far, this guy behind her, who always ignores social distance and rushes over to stimulate her with her overly warm body, is one of the only people that Kaguya Shinomiya cannot bear to be cruel to.

The ill-fated relationship between them can even be traced back to junior high school.

Of course, if the current Kaguya Shinomiya could go back to that time, she would definitely shut up and not say a word, and would never have any relationship with Fujiwara Chika again.

After all, no matter how much he hoped that this "friendship" would remain as pure as it once was, his eldest brother in the family would not let this kind of relationship drift with the tide.

When that guy was in the first year of high school, he used this as a stepping stone to reach an unspoken cooperative relationship with the Fujiwara family.

Although the Fujiwara family once again had a provincial minister, the Shinomiya Group also made a fortune from it.

Well, now another reason why Kaguya Shinomiya didn't want to 'encounter' Mori Ran has been revealed.

If Shinomiya Huanggong knew that she had been in contact with Mao Lilan, then in order to deal with the Suzuki Group, he would definitely not mind doing anything bad to that angel-like pure girl.

Counting the three men and one woman in the Shigong family, it is difficult for the four of them to make a good friend.

As for Fujiwara Chika?

For Kaguya Shinomiya, this is just Schrödinger's friend.

Maybe because of something, her desire to get rid of Fujiwara Chika was stronger than her determination to consider her as her friend.

It’s nothing, it’s just that this cancer of the earth is so good at annoyin’ me!

Chapter 7 Hayasaka Ai: I fight against the Phantom Thieves?

"The Phantom Thieves of Hearts?" Sitting behind the desk of the student union president, Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Fujiwara Chika with a puzzled look.

"That's right!" Chika Fujiwara, who was wearing a Sherlock Holmes-style hat, waved a cane she had found from somewhere and replied, "That's the hottest urban legend in Tokyo recently!"

"The PE teacher who once won an Olympic gold medal turned himself in after revealing that he had been engaging in long-term violence and sexual harassment against his students."

"The Japanese painting master who once won countless honors revealed that he stole students' ideas shortly after receiving the notice letter."

"The gang members who mainly relied on extortion and loan sharking suddenly felt guilty after being issued a warning letter and took the initiative to confess their evil deeds to the police."

"This is undoubtedly a supernatural event!"

Tilting the brim of her hat to the side, Fujiwara Chika struck the cool pose she had carefully prepared.

"I, the great detective Fujiwara Holmes Chika, will solve the supernatural group of phantom thieves that stole other people's hearts!"

Because the 'love radar' has never been activated, the 'love detective' Fujiwara Chika has become the 'supernatural detective' Fujiwara Holmes Chika.

Seeing her vice-president constantly posing in shameful postures, the student council president, Kaguya Shinomiya, sighed deeply.

When did Fujiwara Chika get this disease?

Oh, it was back then in Shibuya.

Although the Shibuya family also conducted a certain degree of investigation into the Shibuya incident afterwards.

However, because no business opportunities that could help the Shinomiya family rise were found, all investigations into the incident were stopped soon after.

"So, great Detective Holmes, have you found anything?" Burying her head to continue organizing the student union's documents, Kaguya Shinomiya took the time to have a meaningless exchange with her vice-president.

"Hehehe! You must be shocked by my discovery! Kaguya-chan!" Fujiwara Chika put her hands on her hips, with an expression that said 'I'm really proud of myself' and held her head high. "I have already identified the area of activity of the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts'!"

Shinomiya Kaguya paused with the pen in her hand, raised her head and looked at Fujiwara Chika with some surprise.

"Are you going to say that the Phantom Thieves' area of activity is Tokyo?"

"Not only that!" Fujiwara Chika stretched out a finger and waved it, "I have already circled a more specific location!"

"It's Shibuya where a big incident happened not long ago!"

Shinomiya Kaguya was stunned for a moment, then as if she had discovered something unusual, she stood up suddenly with her hands on the desk.

"Shibuya! Yes! It's Shibuya!"

“Why didn’t anyone think of this before!”

The physical education teacher's school, Shujin Gakuen, is located in Shibuya.

The art master also often visited art museums around Shibuya.

The 'group' that the gang member belonged to also originated from Shibuya.
