"Good afternoon, Mr. Aoyama."

 "Yukino, come sit here with us," Yukinoshita Shiki ordered. "Keep chatting with Aoyama, I need to go prepare some things."

 Then he turned to look at Sanzenin Arashi: "Nephew Aoyama, I won't accompany you. After all, all the major families are holding their annual meetings together, and I need to arrive early. Someone will take you and my daughter there this afternoon."

 Sanzenin Arashi smiled as she watched Yukinoshita Shiki leave, then turned her gaze to Yukinoshita Yukino.

 Yang Nai was indeed telling him to eat the sisters together, right?

 Don't read the kneeling ball story backwards; it's not very interesting to read this kind of everyday writing backwards.

 ..

276. This unexpected synchronization

 "Mr. Aoyama, my father asked me to keep you company while we chat. What are the specific steps?" Yukino Yukinoshita maintained a respectful attitude, treating Arashi Sanzenin as an elder.

 Even though they are the same age, and it's possible that Sanzenin Arashi is even a little younger than Yukino Yukinoshita, she still has this attitude.

 "How about I ask you a question?" Sanzenin Arashi looked very elegant.

 Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips and casually asked, "What is Mr. Aoyama's view on the zaibatsu?"

 Sanzenin Arashi was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

 "What, you're interested in this?" He looked at Yukino Yukinoshita.

 The girl's skin was abnormally pale, even somewhat sickly, and her waist and calves were so thin that it was almost unnatural; she looked unusually bony.

 She lives alone, and it's quite normal for students her age not to pay attention to their lifestyle habits.

 Because of a stronger sense of responsibility than the average person, they won't give up until they've done things well.

 Yukino Yukinoshita is such a serious person.

 Sanzenin Arashi laughed, "How should I put it, these people are very similar to the male protagonist of a certain expansion pack in a game I used to play."

 "A game?" Yukino Yukinoshita seemed thoughtful.

 The person in front of me is of a high status, and what he says is highly credible.

 “It’s a game called Warcraft.” Sanzenin Arashi recalled for a moment, “There’s a male protagonist named Arthas who, despite sitting on an ice throne, is like a prisoner with no freedom and lives for others.”

 “I understand…” Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. “So, Mr. Aoyama believes that these people are unable to make free choices, like puppets on strings?”

 Yukino Yukinoshita and Arashi Sanzenin sat on either side of the sofa, seemingly together, but the girl seemed a bit confused like a student, while Arashi appeared calm and composed. Perhaps this was because they were the same age but had different mindsets.

 “Calling them dolls isn’t quite right… because dolls don’t do bad things, they only move their hands and feet according to their master’s orders, and they don’t even have thoughts.” Sanzenin Arashi paused here, “In that case, they are even worse than dolls, they are simply worthless trash.”

 He mocked those people without hesitation, but Yukino Yukinoshita noticed something amiss.

 "Mr. Aoyama seems to have a very clear understanding of the zaibatsu. Is that just my imagination?" Yukino asked. She had heard Sanzenin Arashi say before that "zaibatsu people are like monkeys. They dance and chat elegantly at banquets, but to some people, it's no different from a monkey show."

 As for someone who is just an audience member, it's fine to watch from the sidelines, but to go up on stage and associate with monkeys is something that no one can be happy about.

 "It's not your imagination. I saw through them from the very beginning, which is why I don't like being around them. In business, I like to control my opponents, but these people always think they can stand on the same level as me. Even a monkey wouldn't have such an arrogant and conceited idea." Sanzenin Arashi exuded an aura of majesty, just like a hawk.

 Yukino Yukinoshita smiled slightly, realizing that in some ways she and Mr. Aoyama were somewhat similar.

 For example, not hesitating to criticize things you don't like.

 People often refer to this behavior as "sharp tongue".

 ……

 Arashi Sanzenin suddenly realized that he seemed to have a lot in common with Yukino Yukinoshita. He lay on the back of the sofa in front of others, which was rare for him, and said lazily, "You are different again. You have a lot of good abilities, but you are unwilling to show them. It is a waste of your talents."

 "Ability?" Yukino Yukinoshita frowned.

 Arashi Sanzenin laughed, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita. "You gathered the information I needed from hundreds of people in just one day. If that's considered incompetence, then all those officials could just commit suicide, because they can't even do this kind of thing. It's just a simple task of processing information, but if you really ask them to do something, it's as troublesome as squeezing toothpaste."

 “Oh my… Mr. Aoyama is being arrogant again.” Yukino Yukinoshita couldn’t help but laugh.

 She found a friend in this kind of sharp-tongued way, but she didn't realize it; she just felt a surge of happiness.

 Then, without hesitation, they stood on the same side as the other side and launched a Normandy-style barrage of attacks against various celebrities.

 “That useless prime minister of Japan is a weakling who can only get things done by relying on his family’s support. Apart from being obedient, he’s no different from a three-year-old. Even a five-year-old girl knows what’s edible and what’s not, but look at him, he doesn’t know that. Last time he was slapped in the Diet, and he could only stare blankly like an idiot,” said Sanzenin Arashi.

 Yukino Yukinoshita said, "No... if you put it another way, there's someone else who doesn't even know what they want to do, yet likes to meddle in everything. It's amazing that such an idiot still exists in this world. It's jaw-dropping."

 As soon as they finished speaking, Yukino Yukinoshita and Arashi Sanzenin exchanged a glance and laughed in unison.

 However, Arashi Sanzenin made no attempt to hide her feelings, while Yukino Yukinoshita merely curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

 "By the way, Mr. Aoyama, my friend will also be attending the banquet later." Yukino Yukinoshita was less reserved. "She's my classmate, from a club."

 Sanzenin Arashi smiled and said, "Then let's wait for her and then set off."

 "I think so too."

 Unbeknownst to them, the two had developed a tacit understanding.

 "What's her name?" asked Sanzenin Arashi.

 But then, the loudspeaker inside the door started ringing, clearly indicating that someone had pressed the doorbell.

 Yukino Yukinoshita stood up, ran to the door with small steps, glanced inside, and then walked out.

 A moment later, she walked in with a girl with brown hair.

 ..

277. You'd better go back quickly...

 "Ah, Yukino!"

 The girl with brown hair called out softly to her best friend.

 She paused when she saw Sanzenin Arashi, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this, Yukino?"

 “It’s Mr. Aoyama,” Yukino Yukinoshita said, then picked up the box on the table and handed it to the brown-haired girl. “This is your formal dress for the banquet, Yui-kun, please put it on first.”

 "Huh...?" The girl with brown hair blinked in confusion, then said shyly, "There are people here..."

 "Ha... I didn't say you had to change here, did I? Go over there, Yui-kun."

 "Ah, yes, I understand."

 At this moment, Sanzenin Arashi observed the girl. She smelled of shampoo and was wearing a pink down jacket with white stockings under her short skirt, giving off a very awkward feeling. At first glance, she looked like a typical high school girl who loved to dress up and flirt with boys.

 But if you look closely, you can see from the dialogue and details that this person is actually a bit of a simpleton.

 "Who are you?" Sanzenin Arashi stood up.

 "Oh, I'm so sorry!" The brown-haired girl took two steps back in a fluster and bowed. "Mr. Aoyama, I'm Yukino's classmate, my name is Yuigahama Yui..."

 To put it simply... a high school girl saw the incredibly handsome Sanzenin Arashi and was stunned by his good looks and physique...

 Yeah, I'm even stuttering a bit now.

 "Yui Yuigahama, Ms. Yuigahama, you and Yukino go change into your evening gowns, and remember to put your coats on first, then take my car to the venue."

 "Miss, what's with all that..." Yui Yuigahama lowered her head.

 Yukino frowned upon hearing this.

 Upon hearing this, Sanzenin Arashi said, "I don't like riding in other people's cars, especially when I don't know the driver."

 “I understand.” Yukino Yukinoshita thought for a moment. “Then please ask Mr. Aoyama to take us there. Please wait a moment.”

 ……

 Women take a long time to change clothes, especially evening gowns which require a little makeup. It took Sanzenin Arashi several tens of minutes before two graceful figures finally emerged from the room.

 Because the air conditioning was on indoors, the two girls were wearing off-the-shoulder and backless evening gowns with down jackets draped over their arms.

 Yukino's delicate and tender skin made Sanzenin Arashi secretly whistle in his heart. Her fair and tender arms were so beautiful that he wanted to pinch them. Especially when he remembered what Haruno had said before, Sanzenin Arashi's heart was filled with desire.

 While imagining terrible things in his mind, Sanzenin Arashi turned the car key with his index finger, opened the door, made a gesture of invitation, and led the two girls to his car.

 "It looks so cool..." Yui Yuigahama pursed her lips as she scanned the sports car. The streamlined body made her feel like she had only ever seen this kind of car on TV or at exhibitions.

 "I can't stand you. This kind of hobby is no different from those monkeys. Is this your car?" Yukino Yukinoshita teased Sanzenin Arashi without thinking.

 "Okay, let's go."

 ……

 Shizuku Nishikino was invited to a banquet in Chiba City. She put on her dress, told her daughter to stay home, and drove her Porsche to the venue.

 Originally, Shizuku Nishikino had no intention of attending this banquet hosted by some small families in Chiba City, but after what had happened recently, she wanted to talk to more people and vent her frustrations.

 She went there after being invited by a friend.

 'Chiba is where he lives, right...? Could it be...? Probably not.'

 After parking the car next to the venue, Shizuku Nishikino got out and began to have wild thoughts, recalling the absurd things that happened that night. Mrs. Nishikino felt ashamed.

 The expression on my face when I was violated was unbelievable.

 And that feeling was truly...

 She felt extremely uncomfortable, her bare shoulders exposed to the air, wearing only a scarf. She looked around at the entrance.

 "I was overthinking it."

 Shizuku Nishikino breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't find anyone.

 To actually expect to run into Sanzenin Arashi in a place like this, I have to say women have a really strong imagination.

 However, she didn't notice that not far behind her, a group of people who had just gotten out of the car were staring at her.

 ……

 Arashi Sanzenin arrived at their destination, led the two girls off the car, and turned around to see a familiar figure.

 'Why is Ms. Nishikino here...' Sanzenin Arashi pursed her lips, and then Yukino spoke up.

 "Mr. Aoyama, you can just drop us off here. We can go in on our own without any problem."

 Sanzenin Arashi nodded upon hearing this, and then quickly walked towards the entrance, following Nishikino Shizuku's retreating figure.

 As he entered the entrance, he saw Mrs. Nishikino's figure disappear around the corner, and even caught a glimpse of her mature and elegant profile. Without hesitation, Sanzenin Arashi followed her.

 He followed along, and there were quite a few people around him. He saw at least several hundred people, which showed that the small family was quite large.

 At that moment, Shizuku Nishikino was looking around at the door, searching for her friend.

 Soon, she felt someone pat her on the shoulder. She turned around to say hello, but Shizuku Nishikino thought it was a friend.

 Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw Sanzenin Arashi's somewhat unique face, and Mrs. Nishikino's breathing slowed down for a moment.

 "You, how did you get here?!" she asked, somewhat bewildered.

 “Miss Nishikino, this kind of place is not suitable for you. Actually, if you don’t have anyone with you, it’s better not to attend these social events.” Sanzenin Arashi’s voice was tinged with jealousy.

 Shizuku Nishikino's expression changed.

 'This man...is he jealous?' She keenly noticed a clue.

 “Come on, Ms. Nishikino, here are the keys. There’s a villa in Chiba. Ms. Nishikino can go and rest there for a while,” said Sanzenin Arashi, her voice tinged with envy.

 Tonight is the ball.

 He doesn't want to see Shizuku Nishikino dancing with someone else.

 ..

278. An absolutely divine plot twist (Fourth update)

 Seeing Shizuku Nishikino standing here in a beautiful evening gown—an evening gown is meant to accentuate one's temperament, and she wore it exceptionally well, exuding a remarkable aura, like a flower in full bloom.

 Her shoulders were smooth and her neck had a subtle curve, with a faint pink tinge on her skin.

 “Come on, Miss Nishikino, come back with me first.” Sanzenin Arashi pursed her lips, took Nishikino Shizuku’s hand, and said, “This place is not fun at all.”

 Shizuku Nishikino instantly reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

 "What?! What are you doing?!" She pulled her hand away from Sanzenin Arashi and lowered her voice, "Mr. Aoyama, we can't go on like this. No, this banquet is my prerogative. What are you trying to do?"

 After being asked these questions, Sanzenin Arashi felt like her heart was overgrown with weeds.
