But before she got on the bus, she had thought about this question in advance, so she answered it in a timely manner:
"Fujiwara-san just took me to meet some of her new friends, a very young man who seemed to be the director of some department."
When Sigong Huangguang heard this, he showed an understanding expression and said indifferently:
"Oh? There's no official department called a minister, not to mention a young person as the head... Is it a department of a small business?"
Shinomiya Kaguya placed her hands flat on her knees and said casually:
"I remember now. The person Fujiwara-san mentioned was the head of a department called the 'Secret Management Department'."
“It should be some small business, right?”
"Secret Management Department..."
Sigong Huangguang's expression froze, and the hand holding the red wine glass clenched involuntarily.
"The leader of those lunatics..."
Sigong Huangguang said this with fear, then took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and said:
"I heard that Minister Fujiwara is very close to a high-ranking official of SDS, and they might even arrange a marriage... Could it be this person?"
Hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya, who had been trying to act nonchalant, suddenly froze in expression.
what's the situation?
Is it possible for the Fujiwara ministers to form an alliance?
In other words, Fujiwara-san brought her fiancé to meet me?
Suddenly, Sigong Hui also lost his composure.
'No, it's impossible... But, if you think about it carefully, Ms. Feng Shi, as the eldest sister, must want to marry a young man who can inherit the political resources of Minister Fujiwara.'
"As the head of SDS, Mr. Luo Shu is not a political figure, so the marriage partner will naturally be Mr. Fujiwara, the second daughter."
"If that's the case, Fujiwara-san seems to be...really taking me to meet her fiancé?"
"Oh no, I was just smiling and responding politely to Mr. Luo Shu. Wasn't that a bit too formal for Mr. Fujiwara's fiancé?"
Just as Kaguya Shinomiya kept reviewing the previous communication scene.
Shinomiya Huang Guang looked at Shinomiya Kaguya meaningfully.
As the eldest son of a chaebol family, he didn't believe that Kaguya Shinomiya really didn't know what department the Secret Management Department was. Even if she didn't know, it didn't matter to him.
Even if Shinomiya Kaguya was able to borrow the SDS connections, it would not be a bad thing for Shinomiya Huang Guang.
The more channels the tool can connect, the more beneficial it will be to him as the future head of the family.
For this reason, even if Kaguya Shinomiya wants more "freedom", it will be allowed, and he will even encourage her more.
After all, this was the freedom that Kaguya Shinomiya traded for with her precious chips.
"Now that you know the minister, let's get along well."
Sigong Huangguang said lightly, and casually threw a "carrot":
"From now on, you can make your own decisions regarding matters related to the second daughter of the Fujiwara family and that minister."
What this means is that one can use 'Fujiwara Chika and Luo Shu' as an excuse to leave the cage called 'home' without permission.
Kaguya Shinomiya knew the answer very well, and she suppressed her discomfort and replied in a low voice:
"I see, brother."
Seeing this, Sigong Huangguang just glanced at her and said nothing more.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became quiet. Until Shinomiya Kaguya returned to her residence and watched Shinomiya Huang Guang leave in the car, she did not hear Shinomiya Huang Guang say another word.
In this regard, Kaguya Shinomiya, who had long been accustomed to it, was concerned about something else:
"Has Fujiwara-san's engagement partner really been decided?... I think we should ask Hayasaka to confirm it..."
With this thought in mind, Kaguya Shinomiya turned and walked towards the gate of the manor.
In front of the gate, a group of maids and waiters including Hayasaka Ai were already standing there, obviously having been waiting at the door for a long time.
-
Sanyuan Temple.
At the banquet, when he saw that most of the people had left, Luo Shu, who had been sitting in his seat for a long time, finally stood up and said with a sigh:
"it's time."
He stood up, glanced around, looked at his companions who had already stood up, turned around and walked straight towards the funeral venue.
Chapter 176 Don't Offend the Monk Easily
In the island nation's funerals, the all-night ceremony is divided into two parts.
The first half is for colleagues and friends and can be dispersed after dinner, while the second half is a traditional vigil, with relatives and family members accompanying the deceased all night long.
Thanks to this custom, the meeting between SDS and Aldikia was set up in the 'kinship field' in the second half of the night.
Stepping into the funeral hall again, Luo Shu glanced around the empty hall, and his eyes finally focused on the figure standing in front of the coffin.
"Is the time up already?" The mage, wearing a black monk's robe and standing next to the coffin, didn't seem surprised to see Luo Shu.
Seeing this, Luo Shu nodded slightly towards the other party and said:
"Thank you for your hard work next, Master Jingnian."
The monk was none other than Jyounen, the master of Sanenji Temple, the uncle of Sayuri Sawamura, and the most direct link between the Sawamura family and Sanenji Temple.
"Amitabha~"
"It's not that hard, but the situation is somewhat regrettable."
Jingnian chanted a Buddhist name, then looked back at the neatly-clad body in the open coffin, and couldn't help but sigh:
"I am ashamed to say that more than ten years ago, I did not agree with Sayuri's marriage to him. It was the elders of my family and Sayuri herself who persuaded me by saying that 'the family needs to expand its interests to Europe'."
"I also knew at the time that the reason was just an excuse for Sayuri who was in love, but because of this, I knew that the two of them were truly in love, so I gave up trying to stop them."
After saying this, Jingnian sighed, shook his head and said:
"But I didn't expect that he, or her real body, would be the devil of the Hell Cult."
"Looking back now, I'm afraid the outcome would not have changed whether I had tried to stop it or not."
"In other words, if Sayuri hadn't taken the initiative to date her, the Sawamura family would have been extinct that year."
Listening to Jing Nian recounting the past, Luo Shu listened quietly, and only said after the other party stopped talking:
"It's over, Master."
"Yes, it's over..." Jing Nian murmured to himself, and then sighed: "Just like I couldn't stop Robert back then, this time, I won't stop the donor~"
Hearing this, Luo Shu's expression paused slightly, and he said in a rather subtle manner:
"Sayuri, can you tell me everything about me?"
He could see that this wizard was probably communicating with him from the perspective of his 'uncle from the natal family'.
I was wondering why you were suddenly talking nonsense to me.
But then again, how did Sayuri tell her parents everything?
Upon hearing this, Jing Nian snorted coldly and said in dissatisfaction:
"Humph, if she didn't tell me, how could the main hall of Sanyuan Temple easily allow outsiders like you to have a secret meeting?"
"She acted as a medium to cover up the truth at the funeral of the head of the branch family. If she doesn't explain the reason and arranges the matter privately, the girl will be skinned alive by the abbot and the elders afterwards."
Luo Shu's expression was a little strange, but in his heart he agreed with Jingnian's words.
She used her husband's funeral as a cover for secret talks between two outside forces.
If there is no convincing reason, the elders of Sanenji Temple will have to take action to clean up Sayuri Sawamura's sect.
Faced with this situation, it is normal for Sayuri Sawamura to be frank.
And now it seems that after being honest, these elders seem to have a lot of opinions about Robert, or Enigma, so they agreed to this matter.
Of course, in addition to these, the old guys in Sanyuan Temple should also want Luo Shu to remember a favor.
Luo Shu would naturally not be tactless about this. After all, in a sense, this was the ancestral temple of Shinomiya Kaguya, Sawamura Sayuri, and Eriri.
When one person helps three people, three favors can be used as one. So, he is the one who makes the profit.
"So that's what's going on." Luo Shu showed that he understood Jing Nian's meaning and said with a smile, "I'll remember this favor from the abbots."
Seeing Luo Shu being so sensible, Jing Nian was also surprised.
But he had no intention of making things difficult for Luo Shu. Although there was a high probability that he would not be able to appear in public in the future, the man in front of him would be his nephew-in-law in the future, and he would be the one who would support the Sawamura family behind the scenes, so naturally he had to give him enough face.
"Since the donor knows what is going on, I will not say any more."
Jing Nian clasped his hands together, bowed slightly to Luo Shu and said:
"Tonight, the monks in the temple and Robert's 'body' will be taken to the main hall for a ritual. The security here will be fully entrusted to your department and the people of the Aldikia royal family."
Hearing that the body was also to be taken away, Luo Shu was surprised for a moment, then asked in confusion:
"Is this fake corpse also going to be subjected to a ritual?"
Hearing this, Jingnian clasped his hands together and said with a gentle face:
"The abbot and the heads of the sect need to use the 'body' as a medium to perform some basic exorcism rituals."
"It's just a small matter, don't worry."
When Luo Shu heard this, his eyelids twitched.
Good fellow, are you going to drag all the monks in the temple to curse Enigma together?
The whole temple is fighting to vent the anger of the lay niece? You monks are really cruel!
As Luo Shu watched, Jing Nian lifted the coffin with one hand and walked away with the body in a heroic manner.
Fortunately, the all-night ceremony was basically over and all the reporters and guests had been dismissed. Otherwise, if this scene was seen by someone, it would be difficult to explain.
After everyone left, Luo Shu glanced at Kato Megumi and Kasumigaoka Utaha who walked in, and couldn't help but ask:
"¨Where's Mugento?"
Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha said calmly, "They are probably on their way to 'escort' the Fujiwara-san and Zao-sisters away."
Hearing this, Luo Shu's expression became strange. Although these people were not in the original arrangement, Kigen actually wanted to watch them leave personally. It seems that she really has a lot of opinions about Zao Aya!
Just when Luo Shu was muttering to himself, Angelina, who had not been seen for a few days, came in with several members of the direct action team:
"Minister Luo, the area has been cleared. The Speaker will arrive in less than 10 minutes!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Angelina." Luo Shu smiled and said, "I just dealt with the aftermath of (Nodhao) in Kyoto, and I'm really sorry for asking you to rush here again."
"However, you should have some time off after today. If you don't mind, how about I recommend some places to visit in Tokyo?"
"Ah?" Angelina stopped walking after hearing that, and said nonchalantly with one hand on her waist, "It doesn't really matter if I'm tired or not, but since Mr. Luo Shu has recommended it, I'll keep my expectations."
After saying that, Angelina, who was thinking about how many days of vacation she would have, glanced at her subordinates. Seeing this, the latter nodded, and naturally dispersed, occupying various advantageous positions inside and outside the hall, and began to conduct security checks.
Luo Shu watched these people busying around for a while, and then he vaguely heard the humming sound of a car engine.
Hearing the voice, his eyes fixed and he walked out of the hall first. Then he saw several black modified bulletproof cars driving directly into the temple and slowly driving towards the scene.
Apparently, the person he was waiting for had arrived.
