Suzuki Sonoko: Kashiwagi family... Could this Kashiwagi be the same Kashiwagi who is the chairman of the Business Federation?

Fujiwara Chika: Yes, it’s definitely this Kashiwagi.

Suzuki Sonoko: Taichi will probably be very happy. After all, he had just acquired Yashiro Shipbuilding, and now Kashiwagi Shipbuilding, which is even larger than Yashiro Shipbuilding, is going to join him.

Ooka Koha: It's really scary. In the blink of an eye, the economic group that accounts for nearly a quarter of Japan's economic volume is about to withdraw from Japan. If Ms. Suzuki works harder, it will be a third.

Suzuki Sonoko: Isn't it more frightening that the leaders of the two major political groups, Fujiwara and Ooka, are disbanding the political system and preparing to leave? This basically means that the Japanese political system has collapsed.

Fujiwara Chika: Well, after all, this country's political system has no way out and no future.

Ooka Hongye: Isn't it because neither of our families has a 'male heir'? I heard that women in the new country can also hold important positions in the court, so they decided to transfer all power.

Fujiwara Chika: ...You see it all but don't say it, Momiji dear.

Suzuki Sonoko: So, both of your families lost out in the competition for the next prime minister because you don't have a 'male successor to your connections'?

Shinjima: Everyone! Please tone it down a bit! Some topics are not suitable for online discussion. Futaba has already sent me a warning letter.

……

"That's enough." Altria put away the Holy Lance and looked at Taiyi expressionlessly, "Your body has memorized the emergency response measures when attacked. The purpose of this special training has been successfully completed."

"I think I can still continue." Taiyi spoke a little lightly.

"Too much is as bad as too little." Altria shook her head and replied, "After all, my attack is only this far. Even if you receive more 'special training' from me, the experience you accumulate is just muscle memory of fighting 'humanoid life forms'."

"I suggest that you rest for a while, and then let Miss Shinjo use her power to help you improve your countermeasures when attacked by 'monsters'."

"Meow——" Suddenly a sharp cat's meow sounded from the side.

The Ragdoll Cat suddenly appeared from somewhere.

"Camilla?" Taiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at the ragdoll cat. "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I didn't see you speak during the meeting in my mind. I almost forgot your existence."

"Do you think I'm doing well?" Camilla's voice came from the ragdoll cat's body. "On Earth, because of the negative energy everywhere, I basically put all my energy into suppressing the consciousness of this negative energy monster. How can I distract myself and chat with you guys?"

"It was only after I followed Miss Qian to the new country that I gradually overcame the monster's consciousness and recovered myself without the negative energy." Ragdoll Cat came to Taiyi's feet and rubbed his ankle. "Not long ago, I followed Athena to the Olympus God Realm, where I could recover faster. It was only after I met Achilles that I learned about your "gift", and I hurried back."

"Gift, ah, Tarot cards. Wait for me. Once Irisviel heals me, I'll take you to get the gift." Taiyi nodded and said, "But I can't guarantee that the gift will have any effect on you."

"Nice to meet you, Miss Camilla." Altria looked at the ragdoll cat at Taichi's feet and touched it with her fingers unconsciously. "I am Altria, your junior."

"The power of divinity...but I dare not call myself a senior." Camilla hid behind Taiyi timidly.

"You can actually just say what you mean." Taiyi reminded, "Camilla is just suppressing the monster's consciousness in the cat's body, and she can't sense anything through this body."

"...Want to pet a cat?" Camilla realized what Taichi meant, looked at Altria helplessly and asked, "Just like Master said, if you want to pet a cat, you can just say it directly. Although I can control this body, I cannot empathize with it, so I will not refuse your request."

Altria was stunned when she heard that, and then a bright smile broke out on her face.

Chapter 89 Conan: Finally someone is clearing me of suspicion of metaphysics

Camilla received help from the "Temperance" tarot card.

Moving her limbs, Camilla was truly delighted at having acquired a body.

As for the Ragdoll cat...it was already in Altria's arms and dared not move.

It is just a little kitten now. Facing the Storm King, the Lion King with the Blessing of Infinity, it can only stiffen its body and move it slightly according to the opponent's movements.

Suddenly I began to miss the moments when my consciousness was suppressed.

The ragdoll cat looked at Camilla with pitiful eyes and even meowed softly a few times.

But Camilla, who has obtained a body, will not care about the "evil cat" that occupies all her time.

If it weren't for that evil cat, she would have been able to enjoy the pleasure of gaining body a few days earlier.

"Master, I would like to ask you for a leave, either to go to the beach to enjoy sunbathing, or to enjoy an elegant concert to cultivate my wounded heart."

Camilla said that she wanted her body to enjoy life, not to continue to work like Taiyi's slave.

"Concert? New Country doesn't have the ability to host a concert yet." Taiyi scratched his head and replied.

"Then let's go to Earth." Camilla answered without hesitation, "I can't be so unlucky that I finally go to Earth in the form of a physical body to enjoy a concert and just happen to encounter the end of the world, right?"

"Altria also suggested that I take a break. I'll ask someone on Earth if there are any concerts being held soon." Taiyi nodded in agreement. "Let's not go to the beach for now. God knows what terrifying things are waiting for us at the bottom of the sea on Earth."

……

"Concert? I remember there seems to be a concert going to be held soon... Wait, let me check it out!"

When it comes to occasions like concerts, one naturally has to ask upper-class people who often go to high-end places.

It’s a pity that there was no concert in Kyoto, and Ooka Momiji expressed regret about this.

Back in Tokyo, Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka were still busy with work and had no time to pay attention to these issues.

Only Suzuki Sonoko, who was too idle because she was not trusted by her parents, said she would check it out when she had time.

Within a few minutes, the reply arrived.

"The Domoto Concert Hall is going to hold a grand opening concert. Although it's not very high-end, I heard that several well-known musicians will attend the concert."

"Well, since the Domoto Concert Hall was built by my family's construction group, even if we cut in halfway, we can still get a good spot directly."

"In fact, there was a rehearsal for this concert a few days ago, and the other party also sent an invitation to my family, but I was busy persuading my parents to move and forgot about it."

"However, I heard that there seemed to be an explosion at the Domoto Music School some time ago, and the Metropolitan Police Department is also keeping an eye on this concert."

"Do you want to go to this concert? If so, I'll make arrangements right away. Although the concert starts tomorrow, you can still get a good seat if you go now!"

"Then I'll leave it to you, Sonoko."

"That's it, we can go to the concert tomorrow." Taiyi said to Camilla who was sitting on the sofa opposite after hanging up the phone.

"As expected, connections, power and money are still the mainstream in the world." Camilla nodded, then squinted at the sunlight outside the window and said with emotion, "Such nice weather, I suddenly want to enjoy the concert of nature. Master, can you be my driver and assistant for a day?"

……

The sounds of birds singing, insects chirping, and the rustling of leaves and grass in the breeze create a natural concert.

Place two lounge chairs under the shade of the trees, lie on them, and enjoy the warmth coming through the sunlight.

I have to say, this is indeed a great experience.

But this atmosphere was soon broken by a gunshot.

The natural music that originally pleased the body and mind suddenly turned into a chaotic noise of birds startling and insects flying.

"Master, can I kill someone?" Camilla, who was disturbed, showed a bit of ferocity on her face.

"Don't get too excited." Taiyi sat up from the recliner with a bad look on his face, "Look at the identity and position of the person who fired the gun."

"If you are from the good and orderly camp, just give them a slap."

"Those in the neutral camp, just give them a beating."

"Those in the chaotic evil camp, needless to say, will be beaten to death!"

Taiyi was also quite angry.

Leaving the recliner and luggage in place for the time being, Taiyi and Camilla disappeared in a few flashes.

On a forest path not far away, a young woman with a rip on her calf on her trouser leg was running desperately.

The shot just now was fired at her by the man holding the gun under the shade of the trees.

Although she couldn't understand why the bullet hit her trouser leg, the woman was frightened by the gunshot and the tear in her trouser leg and continued to run aimlessly.

Her mind was blank and she didn't even know where to escape to.

She heard the rustling sound of grass being struck, and realized that the other party was tracking her under the shade of the trees.

After turning a corner, she didn't have time to lift her legs and accidentally tripped over a tree root on the ground.

She was lying on the ground with no time to stand up, so she could only crawl to the other side of the woods, hoping to use the tree trunks to block the gunman's vision and shooting trajectory.

At this moment, the circle of light projected from the shade of the trees seemed to be blocked for a moment by something, and suddenly dimmed and then brightened.

Worried that she was being caught up by the gunman, and that her head might be pointed at by the other party, the woman froze and her head involuntarily turned backwards.

There was no one behind him.

Instead, there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground not far away, followed by a scream.

When the scream rang out, she, who had originally planned to get up and continue running while there was no movement, stopped again and turned to look towards the woods with a look of shock.

Faintly, she saw two figures beating the man lying on the ground.

One of the figures even picked up the "gun" on the ground and threw it at the man.

Her mouth was dry and her heartbeat gradually returned to normal. She licked her lips, turned around and walked towards the "battlefield" over there.

"You were told to shoot!"

"Damn it! I was in such a good mood enjoying the concert of nature!

The closer she got, the more she could hear the complaints from the two growing figures.

And the voice of the man lying on the ground screaming.

That’s right, it’s that person!

The woman with absolute pitch looked at the man lying on the ground in doubt and surprise.

It was an old acquaintance of hers at work.

But just minutes earlier, the old acquaintance shot her.

Chapter 90: Sato Miwako: It’s better to play dumb at this time

"Mr. Puhe, can I ask 'why'?" The soprano singer named Reiko Akiba raised the brim of her hat slightly, frowned and looked at the old man who was beaten black and blue by Taichi and Camilla on the ground and asked.

"Ah! It hurts! Stop!" The old man obviously didn't have time to respond to her.

"Camilla, stop for now. Let the victim ask a few questions before you hit him." Taiyi glanced at Reiko Akita who was jumping over on one leg, stopped Camilla, and signaled to her that she could continue asking questions.

"Tsk." Camilla shook her wrist and kicked the old man one last time before taking a few steps back to give space to the victim.

"Thank you both." After thanking Taichi and Camilla, Reiko Akita looked at Takumi Puhe again, "Mr. Puhe, if my guess is correct, you drugged my water and hit me with a truck... It was all you did, just like you pointed a gun at me today."

"Can you tell me where I have offended you so much that you want to kill me again and again?"

Enduring the tingling sensation coming from all over his body, Pu Hejiang raised his head slightly and glanced at Akiba Reiko.

"You must have misunderstood something." Pu Hejiang looked away and forced himself to explain, "I just came into the woods to hunt rabbits, and I accidentally shot you. I wanted to apologize to you and send you to the hospital, but I don't know what you misunderstood, so you desperately ran in another direction."

"Then these two guys suddenly jumped out and beat me up."

"You won't cry until you see the coffin." Camilla raised her brows, walked over and raised her leg slightly... The heel of her high-heeled shoe stabbed directly into his back.

"Ah——!" Pu Hejiang screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Sorry, can you let me see where you were hit?" Taiyi asked Reiko Akiba.

"Yes, of course." Reiko Akiba lifted the calf that was hit slightly back.

"Hmm - just a scratch." Taiyi leaned over to observe for a few seconds, then nodded and looked at Pu and Jiang, "This old man's shooting skills are quite good. He can easily hit a place that will only hinder walking but not endanger life."

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Pu Hejiang was still holding on.

"Have you called the police?" Taiyi ignored him and turned to look at Reiko Akiba and asked.

"Not yet." Akiba Reiko shook her head and took out her cell phone from her coat pocket. "I was a little shocked to find out that the attacker was someone I knew, and for a moment I forgot to call the police."

"Remember to make it clear in advance that the two of us are kind-hearted people who stand up to help others when they see injustice. Don't give the police a chance to create a new case on our own." Taiyi warned with some concern.

Reiko Akiba nodded somewhat dazedly, then dialed the police number.

In the half hour that the police arrived, Reiko Akiba tried her best to get the reason why Fuwa Takumi attacked her from his mouth.

But the old guy was so stubborn.

No matter how Taichi and Camilla beat him, he just kept talking tough.

"Ms. Akiba! Are you okay?" The one who hurried over was one of the model workers of the Metropolitan Police Department, Miwako Sato.

Because of the series of murders of musicians that occurred this week and the multiple attempted attacks on Reiko Akiba, she has already registered with the Metropolitan Police Department.

As soon as she called the police, Miwako Sato received the letter and drove there quickly.

"Detective Sato." Reiko Akiba looked at the police officer who had appeared in front of her many times in the past week, and her brows couldn't help but frown again.
