However, that was just a silly joke. Kirihara Akira didn't believe that Mori Akari had planted these devices, because there was absolutely no need for that.

This method is too low-level and does not reflect the demeanor of a family head.

After just one round of inspection, Kirihara Akane discovered that there was no dust left around the equipment, and the joints showed no signs of wear, indicating that they had been installed recently.

He had just heard that his room had just been cleaned.

Who was the person cleaning his room? It was the young and beautiful maid he had just met.

And that maid belongs to the second young lady.

Kirihara Akira recalled the chubby, adorable face of the second young lady when she was a child.

At that time, he didn't know what a second young lady was. At first, he presumptuously called her Miss Mori. Later, he discovered that there were two identical Miss Mori. To distinguish them, he called one Jing and the other Qingye.

The reason why Guan Jingzhi is called Jing is because when she was a child, Kirihara Akira couldn't pronounce her name fluently and also found "Qingye" difficult to pronounce. At first, he called her "Qing", but Qingye insisted that Kirihara Akira pronounce her full name.

Because she felt that her name didn't sound good when simplified, she kept pronouncing it as "kyo" instead of "kiyo" (Miss Qing).

So much so that years later, the person who inherited Kirihara Akatsuki's identity could still pronounce that name smoothly and poetically: "Kiyoha".

On the day of the funeral, Shizue Mori told Akira Kirihara that her sister was giving him headaches, which he found strange.

How could that lively yet slightly arrogant girl from my memory possibly be such a headache?

Kirihara Akira closed her eyes, feeling the steam rising in the bathroom. After a while, she opened her eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

People change, and besides, we can't be sure it was her who instigated it. Let's take it one step at a time.

He looked at himself in the mirror, rubbed his chin, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Standing at 1.8 meters tall, he has a naturally well-proportioned figure without any deliberate training. He appears somewhat thin at present, but he has great potential for development.

The only problem is that someone who is too handsome and eye-catching is not suitable for many kinds of undercover work.

As she was thinking, Kirihara Akira heard a noise coming from outside.

He pretended not to notice anything, casually walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, and then saw a maid who had inexplicably appeared in the room, and was naturally "startled".

Kirihara Akira was indeed somewhat surprised, because it wasn't the old maid Shimizu who entered the room, but the maid she had only met once before.

The Second Miss's Maid!

Kirihara Akira, clutching a bath towel, looked at her. Her manners were impeccable; she lifted the hem of her skirt, curtsied, and said softly, "Ms. Shimizu asked me to help you change."

It was an obvious lie, but Kirihara Akira didn't call it out. Instead, she asked, "What should I call you?"

"Hezou, Asahi Hezou."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to move closer and help Kirihara Akira put on that complicated kimono. The two got closer and closer until Kirihara Akira could feel the softness of Asahi Kasane's body and smell the faint fragrance on her body.

A honey trap, so sudden... Kirihara Akatsuki made a quick judgment.

Who helps someone else get dressed while taking off their own clothes at the same time?

"Young Master, have you often heard people say that you're someone who easily makes girls' hearts flutter?"

Kirihara Akira raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that so?"

She smiled sweetly and said, "It's been a long time since a young man like you has appeared in this family."

The most important aspect of using a beautiful woman as a weapon is to make people believe that every word she says is the truth from the bottom of her heart.

Asahi Watsumi lacked such skills, and his seductive tricks were rather clumsy.

But she possessed a certain quality, like the dangerous fragrance that a flower exudes when it is at its most ripe and begins to rot, making people feel that since the flower is about to wither, it can be picked at any time without paying any price.

He was now fairly certain that it couldn't have been Mori Akari who did these things.

The purpose of the honey trap was probably to capture evidence of his adultery with the servants in the mansion. Why do they do this? Perhaps his arrival has angered some people who want to get rid of him.

If it were Mori Akari, she wouldn't need to go to the trouble of inviting her here, accusing him of a crime, and then going to great lengths to get rid of him.

If Mori Akari's goal was to control him, then there was even less need for it. Kirihara Akira was a pitiful orphan who had lost both parents; even without such methods, he could easily have him under his control.

Moreover, such methods are too underhanded, and even if they achieve their goal, they would be a disgrace to the Mori family's reputation.

It's hard to imagine that a powerful person in charge would risk their own reputation to make such a foolish mistake.

As her thoughts wandered, Asahi Kasano's clothes became increasingly disheveled, and her movements became more unrestrained.

Kirihara Akira immediately took a step back, the movement so large that the other person didn't react in time and almost fell forward.

Asahi Kasano's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of panic flashing across her face. She quickly composed herself, looking at Kirihara Akira with a hint of tears welling in her eyes, and said pitifully, "Young Master... don't you like it?"

She reached out to adjust the kimono that Kirihara Akira had just put on, but Kirihara Akira grabbed her wrist.

Kirihara Akira said calmly, "You don't seem very good at this kind of thing."

Asahi Kasana lowered her head and said shyly, "I... this is my first time."

Kirihara Akatsuki shook her head and said, "What I mean is, you should show that you have plenty of time and patience, and that you should lay the groundwork. When you're shy, you should breathe rapidly and your cheeks should blush appropriately."

If your movements are too large or too sudden, you'll look like a cheap prostitute, or... an inexperienced and malicious sex spy.

Asahi Kasane looked up in shock, but before she could put on a pitiful expression, Kirihara Akira took off her kimono and put on the black school uniform she had brought with her.

Asahi and Kanade panicked. She had heard beforehand that the people there had thoroughly investigated Kirihara Akira's background. She was an orphan with no one to rely on, who was said to love hanging out with the girls in her class and had no guile. That's why they used such a simple and direct method.

But it seems... this guy is definitely not an ordinary high school student!

She hurriedly said, "Young Master, coming here wearing old clothes will make people think that the Mori family is having financial problems, this..."

Ignoring everything else, Kirihara Akira put on her clothes and headed out. Asahi and Kanade panicked, saying, "What kind of behavior is this?"

It turns out that when people are pushed to the limit, they will subconsciously use what they fear most to threaten others.

She yelled, "Madam will be angry!"

Hearing this threat, which sounded somewhat absurd and ridiculous to outsiders, Kirihara Akira turned his head and said with a half-smile, "Don't worry, it won't implicate you. I'll explain it to Madam properly."

"I will tell you, my lady, that I am, after all, a country bumpkin, and I am not used to wearing such fine but cumbersome clothes. I am afraid that learning proper etiquette will be a long and arduous task for me."

Asahi Kasano's face turned pale. He understood all too well what the other party meant. In other words, he would complain to the madam and tell her that the servants in the house discriminated against him, the new young master, which led him to do some things that were disgraceful and damaged the Mori family's reputation.

This might draw some criticism to Kirihara Akira, but no matter how much he is intimidated, he is still a young master. The price a young master pays for doing something wrong is different from the price a servant pays for doing something wrong.

Kirihara Akatsuki might not feel anything, but the punishment that falls on her is a different story.

With a thud, Asahi Kasano knelt down, her eyes brimming with tears, and pleaded, "Yes, I have offended you, please don't..."

Seeing the opponent's crisp, clean, and perfectly correct kneeling motion, Kirihara Akira was stunned for a moment. She felt a sense of frustration, like the enemy dying halfway through a combo, which was not satisfying enough and she had no reason to be sad.

As expected of a servant raised in a powerful family, he is quick and thorough in admitting defeat, and utterly devoid of dignity.

I didn't mean to force someone to kneel... Kirihara Akira turned around, about to speak, when he saw Asahi Kasane and three other figures appear behind him.

It was a girl, and two security guards in black who were protecting her.

Kirihara Akira looked up and saw a face that was almost identical to Shizue's, but not enough to mistake the face for Shizue.

Because she had a head of fluffy, neat silver-gray short hair, like crushed, chilled moonlight. Although her facial features were the same, her eyebrows were too thin and too long, carefully outlining sharp lines, making her look cold, sassy, ​​and unapproachable.

She is Shizue's twin sister, Kirihara Akira's childhood friend, Mori Kiyoha.

The kimono couldn't hide Mori Kiyoha's sharp temperament. She didn't look at Kirihara Akira, but at Asahi Kasane kneeling on the ground. After a while, Mori Kiyoha raised her head and stared at Kirihara Akira, saying emotionlessly, "It seems that the country bumpkin really doesn't know what rules are. He's been in the house for less than half an hour and he's already bullying the servants."

It seems I need to teach you a lesson, lest you continue to run wild.

As Sen Qingye's cold words fell, two security guards in black stepped forward from behind him.

Kirihara Akatsuki sighed deeply. "Girls really do change a lot as they grow up."
