Living in Fengdu, starting from being adopted

"By the way, where's Wakana?"

After patiently waiting until Ryubey finished laughing, Sougo slowly spoke out the ultimate purpose of this trip.

"Of course, I'm handling official business at the Sonosaki family's group. Ever since the last conflict with Satofuto, the Museum has been severely damaged. My dear son-in-law, I hope you will bear with us."

"That's natural. After all, we are a family."

"Yes, we are a family, a family that loves each other!"

"A family, huh!"

In the Sonosaki Group's company building, Wakana looked at Saeko's photo on the table, feeling extremely complicated.

She used to be the one who loved to mock her sister the most, often relying on her father's favor for her. But every time, her sister would magnanimously pretend nothing happened and just laugh it off, then lower her head and busy herself with company affairs like a corporate slave.

Now that Saeko is dead, I have taken over all her work, and I am more like Saeko when I am alive.

"Sister Saeko, it would be great if you weren't dead."

It’s probably similar to the principle that you don’t know how to cherish something until you lose it.

Normally, the elder sister who is not favored by her father and can be said to have the lowest status in the entire Sonosaki family, receives respect and love from Wakana.

"If you were here, I wouldn't have to deal with these problems. But when I think about it, it hasn't been easy for my sister these past few years, and I..."

"What's wrong with me?"

Suddenly, Wakana shook her head, and the past began to replay in her mind inexplicably, feeling like a kaleidoscope of hallucinations.

This feeling is not pleasant.

"I really want to run away from home."

Putting down the work in her hands, Wakana looked towards the glass wall outside the building, but the shallow glass completely isolated her from the outside world.

Maybe I should really consider eloping. After all, power is not what I want. I would like to be more like a free little princess.

This kind of work sitting at a desk made her feel like she was not sitting on a high-end chair, but a torture prop like the golden throne where the Lord of Mankind sat in "Warhammer 40K".

The only question is, who should I elope with?

"Philip?"

He was an audience member who looked very pleasing to the eye that he met by chance. He was good-looking and as friendly as his younger brother. Both of them fell in love with each other at first sight.

"Kadoya-sama?"

The fiancé that her father had prepared for her was extremely overbearing, but he was quite capable and had the support of the X Consortium. She should be able to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

more importantly......

"My savior!"

When Kujo Aya came to threaten him, it was Kadoya Shi who first showed up to stop her and fought with her, which became known to almost everyone in Fengdu.

At that time, the whole city was in an uproar. The most outrageous rumor was that Godzilla and Mothra appeared at the dock of Fuuto and fought.

Although Kujo Aya did not die immediately after the incident, she was sent to the hospital directly and has been in a coma ever since, like a living dead. It feels more like a punishment that is worse than death for her.

How could I not be moved by a knight who protected me in secret and took on those who violated me?

"It's a pity that I can't find anyone else."

Turning her attention back to the documents on her desk, Wakana sighed slightly.

If Kazuo Kadoya was by her side, she would definitely choose him. If she couldn't find him, then she would have to reluctantly choose Philip from the Narumi Detective Agency.

"Hey, Wakana?"

"scholar!"

When she heard the familiar voice, Wakana stood up from her seat and looked towards the source of the voice. The figure that came into her sight was indeed the familiar figure.

It was Sougo who sneaked into the Sonosaki family under the identity of Kadoya Shi.

"cut!"

Despite this, Wakana still pretended to be reluctant and looked down at the documents.

"You guy, you haven't come to see me for such a long time, are you out fooling around with some other woman? You don't even bother to call her."

Fuck! What truth are you talking about?

Is this a woman's intuition?

It's so fucking scary!

When he heard this, Sougo was really scared and broke out in a cold sweat. He thought Wakana had also entered the Gaia Library and seen everything he did.

However, he quickly regained his composure and pretended to be helpless as he apologized:

"It's indeed my fault. But it's not my fault. After all, there are many out-of-control experimental materials within the X Foundation that need my help to deal with. If I can't prove my strength and value, I'm afraid that both the old man and I will be implicated."

Do you need to prove your strength and worth?

As soon as this was mentioned, Wakana's attention was drawn over, and there was a sense of sympathy in her eyes.

How similar I am to Kazuto Kadoya at this moment!

"Hey!"

When she thought of this, Wakana immediately lost the mood to work and ordered her subordinates to help her organize the plan. She would verify and stamp it when the time came, and then followed Sougo out.

After getting rid of all the annoying Sonosaki family guards, Sougo and Wakana came to the ancestral rooftop of Azuma and looked out at the entire city.

The Fuuto Tower, which was damaged by the battle between Sougo and Katsumi, is currently being rebuilt.

"Wakana, let's elope together."

"what?"

Suddenly, in this quiet atmosphere, Sougo spoke directly to the point and tested Wakana, who was stunned for a moment before nodding quickly.

"Yeah!"

She really wanted it!

Now it was Sougo's turn to be dumbfounded, because he hadn't expected that Wakana would agree without even thinking for a long time.

——————————————————————————————————————

Shichishiryubei: Kadoya Shi, go and get rid of Yusuke Godai!

"That's not it! Are you sure you don't want to think about it again?"

Now it was Sougo's turn to be at a loss.

Originally, he had prepared a lot of arguments to persuade Wakana to elope with him, but he didn't expect that Wakana's desire to leave home was so strong that she just climbed up the pole. Without thinking much, he agreed.

You should at least let me persuade you a few words. If you agree so directly, wouldn't it be very embarrassing for me?

"Don't think about it. In fact, I've wanted to run away from home for a long time, but I just can't find a suitable partner. After all, I grew up in the Sonosaki family and don't have much experience getting along with other people."

When she said this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Wakana's face.

"So unlike strong woman sister Saeko, I still feel scared in unfamiliar environments. If possible, I still hope to have someone I can trust and live with me for the rest of my life."

Understand your sister, know your sister, and become your sister.

"So you can still call Saeko-sister."

"this......"

"Nothing. Even though I don't particularly like her, I'm still very sorry for not being able to protect her."

This is Sougo's true feelings.

If he had acted faster at the time, Sherad would not have hated Shi Mo so much.

but......

Let’s forget about that kind of thing.

Those women who eat from the pot but think about the outside world, who are disloyal and don’t follow the ethics of women at all should just stay away from them and die!

"Is it like this?"

After hearing what Sougo said, Wakana felt that she was attracted to Sougo again.

Since the man in front of me said this to Saeko, whom I didn't particularly like, I would definitely cherish myself more when treating someone I like more.

"But can you tell me why you ran away from home? I was tired of the X Corporation constantly forcing me to fight day after day. So what was your reason?"

"Because I feel my father is very strange."

When she said this, Wakana's body shrank, which reminded Sougo of Tokimo's posture that he saw a few nights ago.

This look probably means that the person is very scared, so maybe I should...

Sougo walked up quickly and gently put his arm around Wakana's shoulders, but he didn't do it as exaggerated as hugging her directly in his arms. After all, the two of them had not met as much as Sougo and Ryubei had.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here. No one will hurt you. Just tell me what's on your mind. Say it out loud. That way you'll feel better."

"Thank you."

After a slight startle, Wakana took the initiative to lean on Sougo's shoulder.

"You are such a gentle person. But..."

Suddenly, Wakana changed the subject.

"Why are you so skilled?"

"Have it?"

"Yes. It feels like you've encountered a similar situation before, so you're using this trick on me!"

When saying this, Wakana was very serious, which made Sougo sweat profusely. He thought that Wakana was also affected by the butterfly effect brought by him and entered the Gaia Library early to read everything about him.

"Okay, okay, then I can only tell the truth."

In response to this, Sougo could only raise his hands helplessly, showing surrender.

"In fact, the old man, that Koei Jiro, has arranged a lot of matches for me. He hopes that I can marry a strong woman and give birth to even stronger offspring. And I really hate this kind of arrangement, so I want..."

"Ugh, it really makes me nauseous."

Before Sougo could finish, Wakana interrupted her, mainly because she saw her own future through Sougo's experience.

If he didn't act quickly and escape from the Sonosaki family, he felt that everything the person in front of him said would happen to him. He would become a puppet of the Sonosaki family, a human-making machine, and his descendants would be subjected to experiments.

"Since Sister Saeko died, my father has become increasingly indifferent."

"I don't think he's become cold, because that old immortal is actually cold. The reason you didn't notice it before is because your sister Saeko helped bear his coldness."

After all, Liu Weibing has gone completely crazy. He would rather treat a brush with his family's names on it as his real family than stop using his family as sacrifices to achieve the [Gaia Impact] plan.

"Sister Saeko, you are so great!"

The more Wakana takes over the things that Saeko once accomplished, the more she will understand her sister, whom she once looked down upon, and understand what kind of life she once lived.

"Now, I have completely seen my father's true face. If Shi and I have a child, it will definitely end up like that. I don't want my child to be born into such a family."

"so......"

"Let's elope together!" ×2

Sougo and Wakana unconsciously grabbed each other's hands, interlocked their fingers, palms facing each other, and said the same words in consensus, as if they were making a promise to each other that would never change.

"So when do we leave?"

"After Ryubei helps me transform Gaia's memory. We must take Gaia's memory. That is the power we must use to protect ourselves."

It's not that Sougo wanted to delay time deliberately, but because he subconsciously thought that he should do something that was more in line with the identity of Kadoya Kadoya. If he was too eager and reckless, it would arouse Wakana's vigilance.

Don't be afraid of a hundred things, just be prepared for the worst.

Wakana is not a fool. What if she realizes something is wrong halfway through her run and runs back to the Sonosaki family for help? What should she do then?

Although it's not impossible to use violence to kidnap Wakana, but...

Sougo has already offended Sherad because of the matter between Tokimo and Saeko. If he uses force in this matter, Sherad will probably not only hate him, but will also regard him as someone who must be avenged like Ryubey.

so......
