Chapter 249: The auction ends, and Yuki Suho takes the Snow Snow Fruit

Do you have enough points in reserve?

To be honest, the old head of the Zhou Fang family is also a little unsure now.

As for the points that the Zhoufang family had prepared in advance, they were definitely sufficient. In order to ensure that they could get the devil fruit at the auction without any mistakes, the Zhoufang family even sought cooperation with the Shinomiya family and let the Shinomiya family act as a temporary blood pack.

With such preparations, the head of the Zhou Fang family believed that he should have a sure win in order to get a devil fruit. However, he had never expected that the adult would be so generous. The devil fruit at the auction turned out to be a natural devil fruit.

A natural devil fruit. The head of the Suo family couldn't imagine how crazy the other powerful people who had the same devil fruit as him would be.

But correspondingly, in addition to feeling uncertain, the old patriarch of the Zhou Fang family also had a burning gaze.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that the Fujiwara family did not send anyone to participate in this auction. In this way, even if the situation changes compared to expectations, the Suo family still has a great chance.

And once they successfully capture this devil fruit, the Suoh family will also gain far more than expected.

"Natural Devil Fruit o Snow Snow Fruit, starting price 6000 points, each bid cannot be less than 500 points."

At the auction table, the auctioneer managed to calm down and slowly announced the starting price.

The voice of a powerful person who had set his sights on a Devil Fruit immediately rang out from below, making an offer.

"6500 points!"

As the first quotation was made, a series of sounds immediately rang out throughout the venue.

"7000 points!"

"7500 points!"

"8000 points!"

Amidst a series of bids, the price of the devil fruit at the auction quickly soared to the 9,000-point mark.

The old patriarch of the Zhou Fang family also made a bid at this time.

"Zhou Fangjia, 12000 points!"

After hearing the Zhou Fang family's offer, the sounds of bidding in the venue quieted down for a moment. After all, after the price broke through the 10,000-point mark, 90% of the bidders on the scene were basically eliminated.

However, there were still a few bidders in the venue who could compete with the Zhou Fang family and continued to bid.

In this way, after several rounds of bidding, the old patriarch of the Zhou Fang family seized the opportunity to bid again. In the end, with a price of 16500 points, he successfully defeated the other bidders and won the devil fruit of this auction amid the regret of the unprepared bidders beating their chests and stamping their feet.

From now on, this auction has come to an end, and the next auction will be held in three months.

The old patriarch of the Suoh family did not delay at all. After the auctioneer on the auction table made the announcement, he immediately stood up with Suoh Yumi beside him, called Suoh Yuki, and walked towards the backstage of the auction.

Normally, the auction items that were won at auction would usually be delivered to the bidders by the staff after the auction ended. However, in order to prevent accidents, Zhou Fangjia obviously could not wait any longer and was ready to go through another set of procedures and go directly to the backstage to find the staff to pick up his auction items.

The Shinomiya family had no objection to the Suo family's departure. After all, this was a natural-type devil fruit, so it was understandable that the Suo family would be anxious.

Anyway, the cooperation has been discussed. As members of the same force under that lord, the Shinomiya family believes that the Suo family will not regret the content of the cooperation. Therefore, although they are also eager to see the natural devil fruit up close, in order to avoid misunderstandings, the Shinomiya family has no intention of following.

"let's go."

After saying something to his children, Sigong Yan'an stood up and walked out of the auction venue.

Although the auction is over, the Shinomiya family's itinerary is not over. Taking advantage of the fact that many members of the forces under that adult gathered at the auction, the Shinomiya family will continue to attend several cocktail parties in the next few days and visit with members of other forces and the families behind them.

......

On the other side, after general communication and identity confirmation, the Zhou Fang family successfully took away the devil fruit they had bid for from the backstage of the auction.

Correspondingly, with an expenditure of 16500 points, even though the Suoh family was a family that joined that lord's army early on, its point reserves were almost emptied, and this was even after taking into account the points supported by the Shinomiya family.

However, at this time, the old head of the Zhou Fang family did not care too much about the lost points. He just looked at the natural type o Snow Snow Fruit in his hand with extremely hot eyes, then took a deep breath and handed it to Zhou Fang Yuxi beside him.

"Yuki, this nature-type devil fruit is now yours to use."

As the only legitimate heir of the Suo family in the future, and also the person who will represent the Suo family to go to that adult in the near future, it is not surprising that this devil fruit was given to Suo Yuki by the old head of the Suo family for use.

In other words, the head of the Zhou Fang family had already had such a plan before he decided to bid for the devil fruit at the auction. The only surprise was that he did not expect to get an extremely precious natural devil fruit this time.

Yuki Suo is very smart, so she also knows that the reason her grandfather gave her this devil fruit is that he hopes that she can perform better in front of that adult in the future and create a better image for the Suo family in the eyes of that adult.

So, Yuki Suho did not hesitate. He nodded and took the devil fruit from his grandfather's hand, then took a bite.

"It tastes so bad!"

An indescribable smell came instantly, and a mask of pain suddenly appeared on Zhou Fang Yuxi's face.

The taste of devil fruits is very unpalatable. Yuki Suho, who has learned a lot about devil fruits, which can directly give people extraordinary powers, from his grandfather, naturally knew this a long time ago.

But no matter how clear it is, the taste of the devil fruit will not change at all just because of prior knowledge.

Fortunately, according to the information learned from his grandfather, the devil fruit only needs to be eaten in one bite, but just in case, Yuki Suho still relied on his perseverance and ate the whole fruit.

Afterwards, Yuki Suho felt that a magical power had appeared in his body.

"Is this... snow?"

A trace of cold air spread out from Yuki Suho as the center, condensing into snowflakes in the air.

Fortunately, Yuki Suho did not forget where she was, so except for accidentally releasing some cold air when she had just awakened the power of the devil fruit and was somewhat familiar with the operation, she quickly restrained her power and the cold air around her quickly faded away.

"Come on, once we get back to Suoh's house, we'll find a place for Yuki to test her strength."

The head of the Zhou Fang family nodded approvingly, and then the three of them quickly left the auction venue.

Chapter 250: Going to the Fujiwara family, the humble Shinomiya Yanan

In the evening, in the Suo family's mansion, in an open space.

The cold wind was howling with snowflakes. Although it was the evening of the summer solstice, a large amount of snow had covered the entire courtyard of the mansion, making the scene as far as the eye could see become snowy.

Although the coverage area of ​​these snowflakes is not large and the radius of influence is only about 20 to 30 meters, in this ordinary everyday world, the power to rewrite the environment in such a small range is shocking enough.

In the center of the open space in the Suoh family's mansion, Suoh Yuki was getting familiar with the power of the nature-type devil fruit in his body. He first affected the surrounding environment by simply releasing it, and then Suoh Yuki began to further manipulate the snowflakes, making various changes according to his own wishes.

For example, you can gather all the snow around and lift a stone weighing four or five hundred pounds used for scenery decoration in the yard. Or you can turn the gathered snowflakes into various weapons and launch unexpected attacks. Or you can simply gather all the snow and release it all at once, submerging everything in front of you like an avalanche.

Of course, Yuki Suho did not forget to experiment with the most basic and also the most important elemental ability of the natural devil fruit.

"After transforming into an element, I felt as if my body had truly turned into snow. Normal physical attacks could no longer harm me. Only certain environments and attacks could cause damage to me."

As a lower-level nature-type devil fruit, the elementalization of the Snow Snow Fruit can be immune to ordinary physical attacks, but just like in the original work, objects soaked in water can attack the Sand Sand Fruit, if it encounters some extremely high temperature environments, then even without relying on extraordinary powers, simple physical attacks are enough to damage the elementalization of the Snow Snow Fruit.

After all, compared to the elemental natural system fruits such as the Pika Pika Fruit, Magma Fruit, and Thunder Fruit, which have almost no weaknesses, the Snow Snow Fruit is much weaker in both upper and lower limits.

However, both Yuki Suho and the head of the Suho family were already very satisfied with this. Unless they encountered heavy firepower, it would be difficult to truly damage the elementalization of the Snow Snow Fruit, even in modern society.

Yuki Suho is not the kind of naive person who won't resist when encountering danger. With her elemental self-protection ability and the power brought by the Snow Snow Fruit, at least 90% of the dangers in the world can no longer pose any fatal threat to the girl.

"Okay, now that I've almost adapted to this power, let's stop for now."

The voice of the head of the Zhou Fang family was heard, and Zhou Fang Yuxi nodded, then withdrew the power of the Snow Snow Fruit.

A feeling of dizziness and weakness came over her instantly. The power of the devil fruit requires physical strength to drive. Obviously, with Yuki Suho's physical reserves, even if she did not use her ability violently at all, just rewriting the environment and manipulating ice and snow in a small range would still consume most of the girl's physical strength.

It seems that if I want to better develop the devil fruit, I still need to prepare a potion in the hands of that adult.

The head of the Zhou Fang family thought silently in his heart when he saw this scene.

"Go back and have a good rest. I will contact the Shinomiya family next. Remember to communicate more with the girl from the Shinomiya family these days. If nothing goes wrong, I will take you to meet that master next week."

"Yuki, is there anything else you want to say?"

After hearing what his grandfather said, Yuki Suho thought for a moment.

"Can I bring Ayano with me?"

Kimijima Ayano is Suho Yuki's attendant and follower. The two girls grew up together and have a very good relationship between master and servant.

At the moment, the head of the Zhoufang family was not surprised by the request made by Zhoufang Yuxi, but his expression was a little embarrassed.

"I can't guarantee that. After all, the final decision is made by that master. In fact, it's still unknown whether you and the little girl from the Shinomiya family will be able to stay with that master."

"What does it matter? Ayano is also very beautiful. If that master is really shy, then when Kaguya-san and I join Ayano, that master will be even happier, right?"

"That being said... well, you can take Ayano with you when the time comes. I just hope Lord Anxiu doesn't mind."

......

And just like that, a week passed.

On this day, two black luxury cars slowly stopped in front of the Fujiwara family's residence.

The head of the Suo family got out of the car first, followed by Suo Yuki and a girl with long black hair who was following Suo Yuki.

On the other side, Shinomiya Gan'an also got out of the car with Shinomiya Kaguya.

"Next, I'll have to trouble Patriarch Zhou Fang."

Shinomiya Yanan stepped forward and spoke.

According to the cooperation between the Suho family and the Shinomiya family, the head of the Suho family will take Suho Yuki, Shinomiya Kaguya, and Kimijima Ayano who temporarily joined at Suho Yuki's request to meet the adult.

As for Sigong Yan'an, the head of the Sigong family, although he had arrived in person, unfortunately, he was not qualified to follow.

He has only been a member for a short time and has not made any achievements. Although if he wants, it is not impossible for Shigong Yanan to shamelessly follow the head of the Zhoufang family to meet that adult, Shigong Yanan also knows that doing so can certainly show his face in front of that adult, but it will also inevitably make him lose a lot of points in front of that adult.

The experienced Shinomiya Gan'an would naturally not do such a thing as not knowing the importance of things and picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons. Next, he would wait outside the Fujiwara family's mansion and wait for good news from the head of the Suo family.

In response, the head of the Suo family nodded, then walked forward and rang the doorbell of the Fujiwara family.

Soon, a servant from the Fujiwara family came to open the door.

"Please inform Master Fujiwara that Master Suo is here to pay a visit."

Hearing this, the servant responded and then went to notify.

Not long after, a figure walked out of the mansion, but it was not the head of the Fujiwara family, but Fujiwara's father.

After seeing the head of the Suho family, the head of the Shinomiya family, and the three girls behind them, Fujiwara's father immediately realized the purpose of their visit.

"Father is not here today. Please follow me to the main hall. Lord An Xiu happened to be away today."

"I won't go in with you, Kaguya. You can go in with the head of the Suo family and Mr. Fujiwara."

After hearing Shinomiya Gan'an say one word, he took a few steps back and pushed Shinomiya Kaguya to the side of Suho Yuki and Kimijima Ayano.

Seeing this, Fujiwara's father had no intention of trying to keep him, but just looked at the head of the Suo family.

"Then please ask Patriarch Shinomiya to wait outside. Patriarch Zhou Fang, please follow me."

...

PS: Let me talk about the issue of the male protagonists in the original works in the daily world here. In the setting of this book, except for the anime like Miko and Band Anime which basically have no male characters in the whole story and are at the beginning of the plot or have started for a while (depending on the plot needs), other anime like Kaguya-sama: Love is War, Oregairu, and Jikki are basically set some time before the plot begins. For example, Kaguya is set to be just in the first year of high school and doesn't know the president at all.

As for those heroines who were set to have a romantic relationship long before the plot began (such as Yuki Suho and Ayano Kimijima), the author simply deleted the original male protagonist for the convenience of writing the plot.

In other words, unless the author specifically wrote about the male protagonist in the original drama, as long as the author did not write about it, everyone can simply assume that the original male protagonist does not exist. After all, these days, there should be no readers who like to watch the protagonist engage in the kind of bloody plot of snatching the female protagonist in front of the original wife, and it would be inappropriate for the author himself to write it.

Chapter 251: Fujiwara Chika's Thoughts and the Three Sisters' Sense of Crisis

The Fujiwara residence has undergone considerable changes compared to when Anxiu first came to this world.

In order to make Anxiu live comfortably, the entire Fujiwara residence was continuously expanded under the order of the head of the Fujiwara family starting from the second day Anxiu moved into the Fujiwara residence.

According to the original words of the head of the Fujiwara family, the Fujiwara family planned to expand the Fujiwara residence into a modern "imperial palace" according to the standards.

Not only that, as far as Anxiu knew, the Fujiwara family seemed to be planning to arrange for religious families such as priests and shrine maidens in Tokyo to build a large shrine for Anxiu. As for the object of worship, it would naturally be Anxiu himself.

After all, in this country where even a stone or a tree can be regarded as a god, why can't An Xiu, who truly displays extraordinary powers, be worshipped as a god?

At this moment, walking in the Fujiwara residence, the three girls, Suho Yuki, Shinomiya Kaguya, and Kimijima Ayano, were led by Fujiwara's father and the head of the Suho family all the way to the main hall of the Fujiwara family.

At this point, the three girls stopped, and only the head of the Suo family followed Fujiwara's father in.

Sending the young and beautiful women in the family to that adult was only a private decision made by the powerful members of An Xiu's faction in order to please An Xiu, and it was not truly recognized by An Xiu, the real boss.

Therefore, Suho Yuki, Shinomiya Kaguya and Kimijima Ayano could not just follow in directly. Whether they could meet the adult next or stay in the Fujiwara residence all depended on the adult's own wishes.

The waiting time was undoubtedly torturous and anxious. After all, even Suho Yuki, who knew the most about Anxiu from his grandfather, didn't know what the temper of the "adult" his grandfather was talking about was like.

In this situation, the atmosphere among the three girls was very silent.

Not far away, in another attic where the younger generation of the Fujiwara family usually lived, three sneaky figures were lying on the window and peeping in this direction.
