"But even if you think so, what would your daughter think?"
Volume 467: Chapter : Yang Nai's Transformation (Part )
Have you lived?
Not understanding why his daughter was suddenly mentioned, Sakayanagi Narimori looked around with some confusion.
At this time, a certain white-haired loli was busy discussing with her sister-in-law where to go first, and had no time to pay attention to her old father.
"Eriyo, have I ever told you about the history of the Kengankai before?"
"how could I know……"
Holding the thought "I can't just turn a blind eye to cooperating with your performance", Wu Huiliyang, who was forced to work, said unhappily.
However, he really didn't know the history of the Kengankai.
At the beginning, he and Katahara Metdou both gambled their entire fortunes and even their lives to win the position of president of the Kengankai. The only thing on their minds was to defeat all opponents. They didn't have the leisure to learn about the history of the Kengankai.
Although he did win in the end, not long after being canonized as the first generation of the Teeth of Destroying the Hall, Wu Huiliyang returned to the Wu clan and took on the position of clan leader.
So in the following decades he still had little knowledge of the history of Kengankai, and had no interest in learning about it.
After all, history is opened up by future generations. As the first generation of the Teeth of Destruction, he has already opened a new chapter of history with his own fists. Why bother to chew on what his predecessors left behind?
But now I have nothing to do anyway, so I can just treat the chat at the dinner table as a story and just listen to it.
"That was about three hundred years ago..."
Katara Metō began to tell the story slowly, with a look of reminiscence on his old face.
"It was the fifth year of the Zhengde reign, a time of peace and prosperity described in history books. For merchants at that time, the highest achievement and honor was to become a royal merchant. As long as one could become a royal merchant, they would be qualified to provide goods to the royal family. It was a stable and lucrative way to make money."
"In order to obtain this honor, merchants did their utmost to amass armies and secretly fought with their competitors, and the entire land of Japan was stained with blood."
"At that time, merchants only had two choices: either they had enough troops to kill their competitors, or they were killed by their competitors. It was either killing or being killed, and no one dared to stop first."
“Although violence is the best safety device, endless violence will not bring any meaning.”
"Just as the world was about to turn into purgatory, the seven-generation shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Ieji, who was only five years old at the time, called on all merchants to gather together and issued an order - if you want to quell the struggle, you must fight it out in an upright manner."
"The so-called fair fight is a one-on-one fight with bare hands until one side falls. The solution to the conflict is determined by the result of the fight, and all private fights are prohibited. This is the prototype of the current boxing match."
"From then on, violence gained order, and violence was sublimated into martial arts."
After speaking a long string of words in one breath, Katara Metō took a sip of sake to moisten his throat.
"Two years from now, I will hold a Kengan Deathmatch. All companies registered with the Kengan Association will participate. The winner will be the president of the Kengan Association. There is only one chance. Just because I can convince all the Kengan members doesn't mean others can. You should understand what I mean, right?"
Totally understand.
Yukinoshita Haruno took a small breath.
If she said in the coffee shop that she wanted to hire Wu Yi as a fighter just because she was so excited, she didn't even know what Kengankai was.
Now she fully understands the nature of the Kengan competition, and can also understand what Katarahara Metsudo said.
Because Wu Yi had already told her these ideas long before.
——The essence of power is greed. You eat whatever food is served in front of you, even if you can’t finish it. You have to swallow it even if your stomach is about to burst in the next second, because if you don’t eat, someone else will, and when they get fat, they will eat you up in one bite.
There used to be a saying that elementary and junior high school teachers liked to say: Opportunities always come to those who are prepared.
And Yukinoshita Haruno also knows another saying that there are only one or two opportunities in a person's life to change their destiny, and many people often don't even realize that they have missed the opportunity.
But precisely because there are only one or two chances to change your destiny, when you realize that the opportunity has come, you must seize it firmly.
It's like a helicopter flying low in front of you on its way to the top of a mountain. Even though you can't get on the plane because you don't have a ticket, you can reach the landing gear under the helicopter just by reaching out your hand.
Maybe you will be taken by helicopter to the top of a mountain where you can overlook the beautiful scenery, or you may run out of energy and let go halfway and fall to pieces.
——Do it first, and if it’s wrong, it’s wrong. A hero who makes a mistake is always better than a fool who does nothing.
This is also what Wu Yi said.
Although she did not communicate much with the other party, these ideas that sounded rough and cruel but actually contained profound truths had been deeply implanted in her mind without her realizing it. They popped up one after another when Katara Metō spoke, and every word was precious.
Of course, Katara Metō actually said these words to Sakayanagi Seimori.
Or rather, it was said to Arisu Sakayanagi.
If it were someone else, the president of Dai Nippon Bank would naturally not waste so much time on words, but after all, Arisu Sakayanagi was half a child he had watched grow up, and she and Wu Yi were basically engaged.
Furthermore, Katara Metsudō also intends to marry his daughter Qiaoxiang to Wu Yi, and the two families are considered relatives, so rounding up the difference can be considered as speaking for one's own family.
It is a truth that good things should be kept within the family. This has been the case since ancient times.
"So I'll ask you one last time, Sakayanagi, are you sure you want to give up this opportunity?"
Katara Metō said calmly.
"This world will be handed over to the young sooner or later."
In fact, the meaning is clear at this point.
Although Sakayanagi Narimori is only capable of maintaining the status quo, his daughter Sakayanagi Arisu may not be. Now that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of them, just because Sakayanagi Narimori doesn't want to seize it doesn't mean that Sakayanagi Arisu can't seize it.
Moreover, as he originally said, the baton will sooner or later be passed to the next generation. No matter how powerful a person who once created history was, he will eventually become a wisp of smoke in the long river of history.
Instead of sticking to your own opinions, it is better to give the younger generation a chance to try.
After a short silence, Sakayanagi Seimori laughed softly.
"President Katahara, you also said that the future belongs to the young, so I think it would be more appropriate for Arisu to answer this question."
"That's true." Katara Metō smiled.
"Do you want me to answer?"
Without waiting for the topic to shift to himself, Sakayanagi Arisu took the initiative to speak.
She had expected that the situation would turn out like this in the end ever since Katahara Metō mentioned the matter, so she had already thought of the answer in her mind long ago.
The silver-haired girl tapped the tabletop lightly with her knuckles, and raised her eyes with a calm but firm gaze.
"I will choose to participate in the battle and hire Wu Yi as a fighter."
Volume 468: Chapter : Chabashira Sae is forced to open business
The time was one fifty in the afternoon.
In the maid cafe on the second floor of the shopping mall.
Wu Yi, who had been stabbed to pieces countless times by Karuizawa Megumi and Kushida Kikyo's eyes, was now standing behind the not-so-spacious bar, leaning forward slightly with his hands on the table.
Next to him was a laptop borrowed from Yukinoshita Haruno, which was connected to a tablet computer that could display orders through a function similar to wireless projection, and was operated by Horikita Suzune.
Every time the maids successfully scanned the code to receive payment, the order information would pop up on her tablet in real time and be projected onto the laptop screen, showing a small portion on the right.
Then Horikita Suzune would record the transaction amount according to the previously prepared spreadsheet and adjust the inventory quantity in real time.
Thanks to this, the cafe has not been short of supply due to the huge popularity since 9:30 in the morning.
Once the stock of a certain item is about to run out, she will immediately inform the boys in charge of logistics to buy it.
“How much has the transaction been so far?”
"About 400,000 or so."
Horikita Suzune dragged the mouse and clicked on the top of the transaction amount column in the spreadsheet. The total amount was immediately calculated below, totaling 432,000.
Pretty amazing sales.
Wow……
Wu Yi secretly smacked his lips in his heart.
You should know that all the guests who came to the school today are about 500 people, half of them are adults and half are minors. Each adult has 10,000 points for cultural festival special consumption, and the minor has 5,000 points. That is to say, the upper limit of the total consumption amount that these classes can obtain is million.
If the total of million points could be spent without a single cent left, then theoretically each class would be able to obtain 312,500 points on average.
But theory is just theory after all. If we calculate it based on reality, there will definitely be a considerable number of classes that cannot achieve such a high transaction volume.
Especially for class B where Ichinose is, they make snacks and such. Although they are very popular among children, they are not so popular among adults. It is equivalent to giving up half of the customer base.
In comparison, not only had their maid cafe's current sales exceeded the theoretical average, but it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was only one hour left before the end of the cultural festival.
Also, Wu Yi had not yet used his final and ultimate trump card.
But now, the big one is coming.
"It looks like business is good."
A voice that couldn't be more familiar came from the door. As a fragrant breeze blew by, a female teacher with long black hair, who had to wear an everyday OL uniform even during the cultural festival, appeared in front of the cash register. The two people who had their backs to the computer turned their heads to look inside the store.
This was something Chabashira Sae and Wu Yi had agreed on in advance. The cultural festival lasted for six hours, and she could do whatever she wanted in the first five hours, but had to return to the cafe to help out in the last hour.
But as for how to help specifically, Wu Yi has not given her a detailed plan so far.
"Now that you're here, go change your clothes."
"Change clothes...wait, wait, what do you want me to do? You should tell me now, right?"
Wu Yi left the bar and walked towards the kitchen, and Chabashi Sae was forced to follow.
"I've already told you that you don't have to do anything."
"Even if you say so..."
Wu Yi walked through the door leading to the back kitchen and into the corridor. Halfway through, he stopped in front of a door, turned on the light and pushed the door open.
Due to years of disrepair, the door lock had lost its effectiveness and would creak open with a slight push.
This seemed to be a lounge, with a single bed still inside that had not been moved away. Lights were falling from the ceiling, and a neatly folded maid outfit was placed on the bed.
The teacher and the student looked at each other, and Wu Yi gave a thumbs up.
"Go ahead, teacher. I'll be guarding the door. Don't worry, no one will suddenly come in."
"You're making me feel very uneasy..."
Chabashi Sae pouted and complained. When she walked into the room and was about to close the door, she paused and gave a warning look.
"If you dare to come in when I'm halfway through changing my clothes, I'll kill you."
"Hi hi~"
Wu Yi spread his hands, indicating the trust between people.
So the teacher went in.
Five minutes later, the door opened and Chabashira Sae, wearing a maid outfit, reappeared in front of Wu Yi.
Just like the last time I tried on clothes, I was still clumsy and evasive.
Chabashi Sae bit her lower lip and crossed her arms in front of her, looking extremely conflicted.
"Hurry, help me see if there is anything I am not wearing properly."
"No, I think it's fine."
Wu Yi reached out and patted the female teacher's shoulder.
"Let's go, it's your turn, teacher."
"……Um."
Chabashirasae shuddered slightly as if startled, and then took a deep breath.
calm……
At the same time, Horikita Suzune, who was behind the cash register, was staring blankly out the door.
Sensing footsteps coming from the kitchen, she subconsciously turned her head to look... and then saw Wu Yi holding another large poster in her hand, and Chabashira Sae in a maid outfit.
? !
Horikita Suzune has a rather aloof personality. She doesn't like to join in the fun and doesn't like to be in crowded places. She even didn't come to see the trial poster of Chabashira Sae's maid costume when Wu Yi was showing it in public.
So this was the first time she actually saw Chabashi Sae wearing a maid outfit, and the visual impact was self-evident.
Horikita Suzune opened her mouth slightly and was speechless for a moment, and the other girls who worked as maids in the restaurant also noticed the situation here, and gathered around with expressions of amazement on their faces.
"Wait, is this... Chabashira-sensei?"
"Wow, this maid outfit suits you so well!"
"HSO~"
