Therefore, if Shinomiya Yan'an does not make a statement, the result will simply be that the head of the Shinomiya family will have to be replaced today.
Until a discerning head of the household is found.
Shinomiya Hikari opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to remain silent.
When he invited the Kiryu Group this morning, he never expected things to turn out this way.
He originally wanted to find a capable son, but ended up finding himself a father instead.
Chapter 129 The Shinomiya Family's Plan of Showing Goodwill
The Shinomiya family's problems were resolved much faster than expected.
Soon, the servants of the Shinomiya family discovered something very strange.
When the Kiryu Group members were originally invited, Shinomiya Gan'an and Shinomiya Hikari were sitting in the reception room while the servants led Qin Chuan and the other two inside.
However, after the conversation ended, Shinomiya Yan'an and Shinomiya Huangguang personally came out to see Qin Chuan and the others off.
Even these servants felt that Shinomiya Yanan and Shinomiya Huangguang appeared somewhat humble when facing Qin Chuan.
Many waiters thought they might be mistaken, after all, that was the head of the Shinomiya family and the most promising heir.
Although they were quite surprised, none of the waiters voiced their doubts.
Although Shinomiya Yanan and Shinomiya Huangguang seemed somewhat humble in front of Qin Chuan, they were not people that these servants could gossip about.
……
After seeing off the Kiryu group and Qin Chuan, Shinomiya Hikari and Shinomiya Kan'an returned to their room, both of them somewhat silent.
The impact of Qin Chuan's power on them was quite significant; that power was simply beyond human capabilities.
In fact, on the way there, they had overheard some waiters discussing the strange phenomenon in the sky, and many of them thought it must be some kind of special natural phenomenon.
Yes, how could an ordinary person possibly believe that such a level of strength could be achieved by one person?
If Shinomiya Yan'an and Shinomiya Huangguang hadn't personally witnessed the ball of light appearing in Qin Chuan's hand and his action of throwing the ball of light into the sky, they probably would have thought it was some kind of weather phenomenon.
The only saving grace was that both of them noticed that when Qin Chuan used that power, Kiryu and his stand-in brother also showed terrified looks.
In other words, this power is possessed by at least Qin Chuan. Although Kiryu and his underlings are Stand users, they do not have such exaggerated power.
From this perspective, the Shinomiya family is actually only loyal to Qin Chuan, not to the Kiryu Group—which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
"That force was too strong; there was no possibility of resisting it."
Sitting in the chair, Shinomiya Hikari's expression was very complicated—having grown up in a privileged environment, he was actually very uncomfortable with the feeling of being controlled by others.
But he had no choice but to adapt, even if he didn't want to. Having received an elite education, he was certainly not stupid, and he didn't think he had a way to get rid of Qin Chuan's control.
Qin Chuan didn't even need to use the methods he used to control other Stand users; Shinomiya Hikari was already terrified and was frantically trying to find a way to make amends.
Because he had been a bit harsh with Qin Chuan at first, he didn't know if Qin Chuan would remember him because of it, so he could only try his best to soothe Qin Chuan's feelings.
"How about we send Kaguya to his side?"
Shinomiya Kōkō proposed this idea, but was immediately met with a stern look from Shinomiya Gian:
"Do you know what you're saying, Huang Guang?"
Although Shinomiya Kanan doesn't seem to interact much with Shinomiya Kaguya on the surface, he actually cares deeply about his only daughter.
Upon hearing that Shinomiya Kōkō seemed to want to hand over Shinomiya Kaguya as a bargaining chip, Shinomiya Kan'an's expression naturally wasn't good.
“Father, if you don’t take the initiative to build a relationship with someone who has that kind of power, you may not have the chance to do so in the future.”
However, Shinomiya Kōkō did not think there was anything wrong with what he said. He looked at Shinomiya Gān'an and said calmly.
“The Shinomiya family is very powerful, but there are many more conglomerates in Japan than just us. We can’t just sit here and wait for that person to make demands of us; we have to take the initiative to show goodwill.”
Although the Shinomiya Group has a great influence, it is not without its decline. Shinomiya Hikari has been thinking about how to further develop the Shinomiya family.
Although Qin Chuan's appearance added another person to the Shinomiya family's ranks, it may also be an opportunity for the Shinomiya family in some ways.
The deterrent effect of that powerful force is more powerful and direct than any rhetoric. It's like nuclear deterrence between major powers; just standing there is enough to make people dare not act rashly.
This powerful force is now willing to establish relations with the Shinomiya family, yet Shinomiya Kan'an doesn't seem to be taking the initiative, which greatly puzzles Shinomiya Hiromitsu.
“...What you said does make a good point.”
After a moment of silence, Shinomiya Gan'an had to admit that Shinomiya Hiromitsu was right.
His subconscious rebuttal just now was only out of his care for Kaguya Shinomiya.
But then I thought, if Kaguya Shinomiya could establish contact with Qin Chuan, wouldn't that be a form of protection for her?
Hayasaka Ai, who was standing to the side, listened to the conversation between Shinomiya Gan'an and Shinomiya Hikari, and her feelings were also somewhat complicated.
She initially didn't want Kaguya Shinomiya to get involved in this matter, but unexpectedly, Qin Chuan displayed such terrifying power that they still ended up having their eyes on Kaguya Shinomiya.
However, it's not surprising that she didn't think of this step—who knew that Qin Chuan's power would be so exaggerated?
After awakening her Stand, Hayasaka Ai could be said to have the "special ability" they were talking about, but Qin Chuan's power... is something that a Stand can't do at all, right?
Just as Hayasaka was thinking about Qin Chuan with mixed feelings, Shinomiya Hikari and Shinomiya Gan'an seemed to have also reached an agreement on some matters.
"Hayasaka, take some time to go and make contact with that person."
Shinomiya Hikari looked at Hayasaka Ai, the "spy" he had originally placed by Shinomiya Kaguya's side, who was now being used by Qin Chuan.
"See if he's interested in transferring to Shuchiin."
Although the goal is to bring Kaguya Shinomiya and Qin Chuan into contact, it would be best to have them fight on home turf if possible.
And Shinomiya's home turf is, of course, Shuchiin Academy—Shinomiya Hikari is the chairman of the board of directors of Shuchiin Academy, so Shuchiin Academy can be said to be under the control of the Shinomiya family.
Shuchiin Academy, a school that gathers the descendants of various celebrities, is a school that many students would do anything to get into, but Shinomiya Hikari is not sure if Qin Chuan is interested.
So he planned to have Hayasaka Ai contact Qin Chuan to sound him out.
If Qin Chuan is willing to go to Xiuzhiyuan, then it will be much easier for them to make arrangements.
If the other party isn't interested, then they'll have to find another way to arrange for Kaguya Shinomiya and Qin Chuan to meet.
With the power of the Shinomiya family, arranging some "chance encounters" wouldn't be difficult.
"……I see."
Hayasaka Ai knew she had no room to refuse, so she agreed.
However, she herself wasn't opposed to meeting Qin Chuan; in fact, she was secretly excited.
Chapter 130 The Extroverted Kita Ikuyo
After leaving the Shinomiya family, Qin Chuan didn't go back to school—after all, he had already asked for leave.
He followed Kiryu back to Shimokitazawa, intending to check whether Kiryu's newly recruited subordinates had Stand aptitude.
Indeed, the Kiryu Group's influence has expanded considerably in just a few days, absorbing many members from other yakuza organizations.
Even though Qin Chuan has already won the loyalty of the Shinomiya family, we can't always rely on him to handle every situation in the future.
Therefore, it is necessary to create some Stand users and let these guys with "special abilities" handle those troublesome things.
The Kiryu Group expanded by leveraging the power of the Shinomiya family, and the Shinomiya family then used the Kiryu Group's Stand users to handle matters that were not convenient to deal with openly.
In this way, the cooperation between the legitimate and criminal worlds would be the best outcome Qin Chuan envisioned.
However, Qin Chuan was getting a little annoyed that he had to personally check the stunt double's qualifications every time.
"Let's see if I can get a suitable ability to test my Stand's potential in the JOJO world tonight."
Qin Chuan thought to himself, hoping to gain something new in the JOJO world tonight.
Based on the main storyline, tonight's mission world should be the plot of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5, and there are indeed Stand abilities that can be helpful in Part 5.
For example, Polpo's "Black Sabbath" has the organization's "arrow" hidden in its mouth in Part 5. As long as the conditions are set, it will automatically come out to help people awaken their Stands.
If Qin Chuan were to acquire this ability, he could make Blackbird follow Kiryu around like "Black Sabbath," and proactively jump out to help people awaken when needed.
That way, I won't have to make a trip every time.
Following Kiryu into the bar, they found that there were already quite a few people standing inside, all looking at Qin Chuan and Kiryu with respect.
Many people have witnessed Kiryu's strength; his unique ability to injure people with almost no contact has made many people yearn for it.
"let's start."
Qin Chuan picked up the arrow with practiced ease and said calmly.
……
Qin Chuan wasn't at school today, and Goto Ichiri felt like something was missing.
She had already planned to have lunch with Qin Chuan today, but she didn't expect him to not show up after waiting for a while.
So, Goto Ichiri, for the first time ever, went to Qin Chuan's class, only to find out that Qin Chuan had taken the day off.
She had originally planned to have lunch with Kato Megumi, but after searching carefully, she couldn't find her anywhere.
Yesterday, with Qin Chuan by Kato Megumi's side, Goto Ichiri was able to notice her. But today, with Qin Chuan gone, Goto Ichiri, like everyone else, couldn't find Kato Megumi.
So, with no other choice, Goto Ichiri could only find a corner in the stairwell and squat there eating rice balls by herself.
Even though everything was the same as before, Goto Ichiri felt a little nostalgic for Qin Chuan.
Although Qin Chuan's behavior always made her feel very agitated, she felt even more lonely without him.
However, while eating, she overheard some girls nearby discussing something, which seemed to be related to guitars.
It seems to be talking about a girl named Kita who can play guitar and sing, and has even been in a band, which makes Goto Ichiri very envious.
Although she can play the guitar, she can't sing. She's also just joined the band, and seems quite different from the Kita-kun that the students talk about.
Thinking of this, Goto Ichiri felt a surge of sadness, and at the same time, she became curious about that Kita-kun.
……
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Qin Chuan."
At the entrance of the bar, Kiryu, accompanied by his stand-in, bowed to Qin Chuan.
Today's results were rather dismal—Qin Chuan tested the arrows and found that none of the new recruits in the Kiryu Group had the aptitude for Stands.
While this disappointed Kiryu somewhat, it also stirred a sense of pride within him.
—The fewer people who have the qualifications to be a stand-in, the more it proves my rarity, doesn't it?
Qin Chuan was unaware that Kiryu was secretly proud of this. He simply toyed with the arrow in his hand, somewhat speechlessly, and said:
"With the expansion of the Kiryu Group, there will probably be more and more people needing to test Stand aptitude, right?"
The number of new members recruited by the Kiryu Group this time is almost half of the original members—and there will obviously be more in the future.
Thinking about this, Qin Chuan felt he absolutely had to create a remotely controlled Stand in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure world tonight, otherwise he'd be spending all his time awakening Stands for these underlings...
Although he could now hand this "arrow" over to Kiryu and let Kiryu use it himself, he had only been in charge of the Kiryu Group for a few days.
Even though both the Kiryu Group and the Shinomiya family acted very humble towards Qin Chuan because of his strength, Qin Chuan was not prepared to hand over everything to them in a short period of time.
He was also aware of Japan's tradition of overthrowing superiors. Although letting these people get the "arrow" wouldn't pose any threat to Qin Chuan, he had no interest in shooing away flies.
Once the Kiryu Group has internalized their obedience, then we can consider entrusting them with important tasks.
As Qin Chuan walked from the bar to the street, he headed to a nearby parking lot—this time, Kiryu had learned his lesson and arranged a car and driver for himself.
Qin Chuan could easily call a driver whenever he needed one, which was quite convenient.
However, before Qin Chuan could take more than a few steps, he saw a familiar figure on the street.
"...It's you again?"
Qin Chuan looked at Goto Ichiri, who had stopped in front of him, with a somewhat strange expression.
Why does he feel like he runs into Goto Ichiri every time he comes to Shimokitazawa? Is there some kind of fate between them?
"Qin... Qin Chuan..."
Upon seeing Qin Chuan, Goto Ichiri instinctively shrank back, forcing an awkward smile.
She also wanted to know why, starting from the past two days, she always seemed to run into Qin Chuan every time she came to Shimokitazawa.
However, she didn't come alone this time. After she greeted Qin Chuan, a red-haired figure peeked out from behind Goto Ichiri:
