As she passed each servant, a respectful greeting rang out, and she responded with a slight nod, displaying the dignified and elegant manners of a noblewoman.
In the vast courtyard, figures bowing and paying their respects could be seen everywhere, yet it was so quiet that only the sound of the wind and footsteps could be heard, creating a sense of loneliness.
Kujou Kitsuneha was already used to this routine, a loneliness that every person in a high position had to adapt to, even if she didn't like it in her heart.
The housekeeper, dressed in traditional attire, stepped forward and said, "Miss, Madam will be here shortly."
"Okay, get my clothes ready."
"Yes."
The butler bowed and withdrew.
Kujou Kitsune went to the changing room, changed into a simple and elegant casual outfit, and then sat quietly at the low table, waiting.
"Welcome, Madam."
A welcoming voice came from the entrance hall.
A tall, slender, and beautiful woman gracefully entered the hall, her steps swaying with elegance.
The woman was dressed in a magnificent kimono, with large peonies and flowing cloud patterns embroidered on a deep purple silk background, and her sash was tied elegantly and delicately.
Her dignified and beautiful face appeared mature and lovely under the soft light, with delicate eyebrows slightly upturned, a high nose bridge, and full, rosy lips.
Compared to Kujou Kitsune, this beautiful woman possessed a more mature and dignified air, exuding a unique charm that belonged to mature women, as if she had stepped gracefully out of a ukiyo-e print.
"Mother."
Nine fox feathers respectfully nodded slightly.
The beautiful woman walked to the head seat and sat down gracefully, her wide robe spreading out around her like a dark peony slowly blooming.
"Hmm," Kujo Maki nodded slightly, "How's school life going since the start of the semester?"
Chapter 23 Speculation, Exploitation! The Girl's Weakness
"Very good, thank you for your concern, Mother."
Kujou Kitsune took the tea brought by the maid and gracefully poured a cup for her mother.
Kujo Maki nodded.
My daughter has always been excellent, so I don't have to worry about her too much. The only downside is that she is too sensible. At an age when she should be innocent and carefree, she is more reserved and reserved, like a carefully honed blade.
She has shouldered the burden of being the head of the family alone for so many years, while her daughter has understood from a very young age what it means to not show weakness.
In this position, the Kujo family needs just such an heir.
Being soft-hearted, naive, and driven by emotions will only become fatal weaknesses in the game of power.
She raised the teacup to her lips, the rising steam blurring her delicate features.
"Things haven't been peaceful in Tokyo lately. There are even rumors of some so-called death god descending upon the world. You should keep an eye on things."
"Death? Where did Mother get this information?"
"You'll understand once you watch this video."
Maki Kujo took out her phone, her slender, rose-colored nail polish-painted fingers tapping on a video and pushing it in front of her daughter.
The video only captured a few seconds, but those few seconds were enough to leave a lasting impression.
In the footage, a figure shrouded in fog flashes past under the surveillance camera at the intersection, like a ghost.
If Yuu Hanchuan were here, he would surely be surprised that his glorious deeds had reached the Kujo family.
After watching the video, Kujou Kitsune was stunned for a long time. She pushed the phone back to her mother and said, "It's very strange."
What are your thoughts? Do you think it's true or false?
"There is definitely no Grim Reaper in this world. Rather than thinking it is some kind of unnatural event, it is more likely that some kind of illusion has been created."
"I think so too. It's possible that this was a political group's attempt to attack their opponents for votes. The so-called first appearance of the Grim Reaper was in the Nakano Station North Exit massacre a few days ago. The perpetrator had taken some kind of drug, which is why he was able to kill more than a dozen people..."
Kujo Maki put down her teacup, her fingertips tracing the rim.
"The Matsukawa Association is an important source of the Hashimoto family's illicit activities. It's unclear what forces they've offended. As for the Grim Reaper's reappearance last night, which resulted in one death, according to relevant information, a hypnotic-like technique was used. However, the true purpose of this case remains unknown."
Kujou Kitsune paused for a moment: "Could it be a random crime committed to solidify a previous case? To create public opinion and cover up the real motive?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Kujo Maki looked at her daughter, a slight smile playing on her lips, a satisfied expression on her mature and beautiful face.
"It's good that you've thought of this, but it's only a relatively reasonable guess."
The island nation's political factions are intricate and complex, with constant open and covert struggles.
Factional struggles within the Liberal Democratic Party, obstruction from the opposition parties, and the transfer of benefits between conglomerates and politicians...
Beneath the seemingly calm surface, undercurrents are surging. As a newly emerging political family, the Hashimoto family will stop at nothing to expand its power. Their interests overlap with those of the Kujo family, and the two sides have clashed several times before.
The Matsukawa-kai is the Hashimoto family's secret agent in Tokyo's underworld, specializing in handling dirty, shady jobs.
Now that a stronghold of the Matsukawa-kai has been massacred, the Hashimoto family will surely pay attention. Whether this will trigger a series of butterfly effects remains to be seen.
What the Kujo family needs to do is remain calm amidst this chaos, search for every noteworthy clue, sit back and watch the tigers fight, wait for those impatient opponents to make the first move, and then seize the opportunity to maximize their profits.
The setting sun painted the clouds on the horizon with a brilliant glow, and Han Chuanyou and his companions decided not to continue strolling along the street.
Anna Yagyu noticed the restroom in the corner, her face slightly flushed, and handed the milk tea in her hand to her older sister: "Sister, um, I'm going to the restroom."
Looking at Han Chuan You beside her, the girl felt a little embarrassed; she had accidentally drunk too much earlier.
"Ah."
Yagyu Genon nodded and accepted the milk tea.
While the two were waiting by the roadside, Yagyu Genon heard a rustling sound coming from the green belt next to them. Curious, she turned her head to look and found that it was an adorable kitten.
Its black and white fur, fluffy and soft, instantly captured the hearts of young girls.
Her eyes softened, she took out her phone, bent down, and aimed it directly at the kitten, ready to take a picture.
"Click"
Han Chuan You was sipping his milk tea when he heard the noise. He turned around and asked, "What are you filming?"
As he turned around, his side bumped into the girl's upturned buttocks.
The girl cried out in surprise, lost her balance, and with the sound of branches being crushed and a kitten meowing and darting away, her upper body plunged directly into the green belt.
Han Chuan You turned around and saw this comical scene, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The sound of a girl's embarrassment and annoyance came from the green belt.
"What are you laughing at? Are you doing this on purpose?"
"How could that be? I don't have such a perverse sense of humor." Han Chuan You lowered her head, admiring the beautiful scenery that belonged only to the young girl.
This pose perfectly showcases the girl's full, rounded curves beneath her pleated skirt, making her look like a ripe peach in the soft glow of twilight.
good chance!
Whether it's the Thousand Years of Death or something else, it's an excellent opportunity to attack.
Oh no! My hand is starting to slip out of my control!
Han Chuan You raised his hand, only to have it grabbed by another hand.
Yamei! She'll be killed!
But it was all in vain. Human instincts overcame reason. The palm found the center point, aimed, and fell.
Defeat!
"Snapped!"
cool.
"Hmmmm~"
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the girl trembled slightly, her lips parted slightly, and a soft moan escaped her throat.
Her cheeks were burning hot, she bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and turned her face slightly to the side, her cheeks as red as ripe tomatoes.
"You...you...you, what are you doing?!"
"I'm sorry! I can't control myself. This is an instinctive reaction to the enemy's weakness that has developed over millions of years of evolution."
"You wait for me!"
The girl blushed and struggled a few times in shame and anger, only to find that her waist was stuck in a tree branch, and the same was true in front of her. The intertwined branches were wrapped around her body, making it difficult to get free. She could only continue to remain in this position in a disheveled state.
Han Chuan You was recalling the soft, bouncy sensation from earlier when he saw this, and he coughed.
"Um... do you need my help? Your posture is a bit unseemly."
"Hurry up... hurry up."
Recalling the pain she had just felt, Yagyu Tsurune felt incredibly panicked. With her weakness still exposed to Hanukawa Yuu and the possibility of being attacked at any moment, an extreme sense of shame surged through her body like an electric current, and a peculiar heat also arose deep within her body.
This guy...
Instead of receiving rescue, she heard the sound of camera shutters clicking.
"Click"
She knew exactly what he was doing, and felt even more embarrassed and annoyed. Two red blushes rose on her cheeks, and she kicked her legs back a couple of times, looking utterly ridiculous.
"Don't go too far!"
Han Chuanyou smiled and put away his phone.
"Okay, okay, I'll help you."
He looked at the girl's protruding buttocks, her fair waistline faintly visible beneath the hem of her dress, her shallow waist dimples particularly sexy, and the absolute territory of her fair skin under her skirt even more pronounced in this position.
After hesitating for a moment, he still grabbed the girl's waist and pulled her towards him. Her rounded breasts bumped against his waist, the soft touch giving him a bad feeling.
As Yagyu Genon felt the large hand on his waist, its heat made him feel uneasy.
Are you still taking advantage of me?
"What other options are there?"
As she spoke, Han Chuan You tugged at the twig again.
At that moment, Anna Yagyu, who had just come out of the restroom, saw the scene before her: her senior was holding her older sister's waist, and the two of them were moving back and forth. She blushed instantly, covered her face, and said shyly:
"Sister, senior, what are you doing?"
This is utterly shameless, happening in broad daylight!
Chapter 24 Stirring Up Trouble
Han Chuanyou turned her head, saw her like this, and then looked down at the current state of the two of them.
From a third-person perspective, it is indeed easy to misunderstand, and the more you look at it, the more ridiculously erotic it seems.
Although he had already earned a reputation as a pervert from Yagyu Tsurune, he still wanted to put up a fight against Anna.
He moved aside, pointing to Yagyu Genne, who was still struggling in the green belt, trying to clarify: "Your sister is stuck, I'm helping her, Anna, you should lend a hand too."
The girl took a closer look, paused for a moment, and then couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
“杏奈——”
The sound of my sister gritting her teeth could be heard coming from the green belt.
Anna Yagyu quickly covered her mouth, cleared her throat, and breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is... I thought..."
She blushed halfway through her sentence and wisely stopped talking.
Trapped in the green belt, Yagyu Genon was even more embarrassed, her ears turning so red they almost bled.
"Hurry up and come help me."
"Okay, sister, don't rush!"
After a while, the two of them finally managed to free Liu Shengxian from the entanglement of the branches.
At this moment, she was breathing rapidly, her hair was disheveled, and her usual calm and composed demeanor was completely gone.
She straightened her wrinkled clothes, raised her hand and punched Han Chuanyou in the chest, but she still felt unsatisfied. However, her younger sister was right next to her, so she couldn't lash out on the spot.
"You just wait."
