Hearing Eriri's words, Suka Natsumi, whose face was still flushed, was about to reply, but Ye Xing preempted her.

"She's already full."

Suka Natsumi's face turned even redder at these words, and after glaring fiercely at Ye Xing, she silently sat down at the table and apologized to Urushihara Ruka with embarrassment.

"Sorry, Urushihara-san, for keeping you waiting."

"N-no... it's okay."

Urushihara Ruka quickly waved her hands, revealing a gentle smile, her tone soft.

"It's a little cold, shall I take it to warm it up for you?"

"No need, this is fine."

Suka Natsumi really didn't have much appetite, after all, she had just gone through an intense exercise.

...

Later that evening, L, located in the top-floor war room of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, was wearing an earphone-like communication device, looking at the message sent on the screen, his brow furrowed.

"It was done very cleanly... Although I can find the source of the news, it seems impossible to find the information of the mastermind behind the scenes from the internet... It seems they contacted each other in person... There was no transaction of money either... But..."

L's fingers tapped on the computer, and a glimmer of excitement appeared in his usually listless dead fish eyes, as he muttered to himself.

"Precisely because of this, it is worth my personal investigation."

...

The next morning, at the entrance of Soubu High School.

All the high school students who had finished their spring break, feeling unsatisfied and as if they hadn't had enough fun, could see a long banner hanging above the school gate before entering, with a clearly visible sentence on it.

"Warmly celebrate Ye Xing of the second grade of our school, under the guidance of teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka, successfully winning the singles championship in the National High School Tennis Tournament."

Hiratsuka Shizuka stood at the school gate, watching the students entering the school, all staring at her with curious eyes. While feeling a little embarrassed, she also felt a sense of pride and honor in her heart, only to slightly nudged Ye Xing beside her with a somewhat awkward expression, whispering.

"Really, the subject I'm in charge of is Japanese language, don't you think the words on this banner are a bit awkward to read?"

"I know."

Ye Xing looked like he was taking it for granted, not caring at all about the gazes of the Soubu High School students towards him, only looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka beside him, he chuckled and said.

"But, I just wanted to put your name in front, that's all."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's pretty face flushed red, and she raised her hand again to gently pat Ye Xing's shoulder.

"Really, all you know is sweet talk... I clearly didn't do anything, where did the guidance come from..."

"Eh, not at all."

Ye Xing explained very seriously.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have participated in any tennis tournament at all. Since I wouldn't have participated, where would the championship come from? You are the first contributor, no doubt about it."

"Hmph, you're still good at talking."

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked like she could barely suppress the corners of her mouth, but considering that this was school, she tried her best not to show it too obviously.

She wasn't stupid, of course she knew that the so-called guidance Ye Xing mentioned was complete nonsense. She herself couldn't even play tennis, so what was she guiding?

The point was that after Ye Xing won the championship, he was willing to have the school put her name, Hiratsuka Shizuka's name, at the front on the banner made by the school. This intention was the most precious.

...

That noon, inside the student council activity room of Shuchiin Private Academy.

"Finally, we can officially start working."

Shijo Maki sat on the large sofa, looking at the spacious activity room in front of her, with a satisfied expression, looking towards Shinomoya Kaguya, who was sitting behind the desk, her back as straight as a sharp sword, her posture very dignified, and couldn't help but say.

"Hey, Auntie, aren't you tired sitting like that?"

"Not at all."

Shinomoya Kaguya, who was reading a book, raised her head, glanced at Shijo Maki, who was sitting there in a carefree manner, and said in a flat tone.

"It's you who should pay attention to your image. You are my vice president, don't let others think that this student council I formed is full of lazy and undisciplined people."

"Hmph... As expected, those in higher positions can suppress others to death, no wonder you're an auntie."

"...Maki-san, can you please stop mentioning the matter of seniority?"

"But aren't you my auntie?"

"Since that's the case, it seems that your Shijo family really doesn't have..."

"Eh, eh, eh, eh!"

Seeing that Shijo Maki and Shinomoya Kaguya were about to argue again, Fujiwara Chika quickly ran forward and waved to stop them, standing between the two.

"No, no, this is only the first day of the official formation of our student council, how can we have infighting? If this continues, how will we carry out our work in the future? No arguing, no arguing."

Under Fujiwara Chika's persuasion, Shinomoya Kaguya and Shijo Maki stopped arguing, but both turned their heads, looking like they didn't want to see each other.

Fujiwara Chika sighed helplessly, covering her forehead.

She now understood.

She didn't come here to be a secretary, but clearly to be a nanny.

What should she do in the future?

Just then, Shijo Maki suddenly looked at Shinomoya Kaguya, as if wanting to say something, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but say.

"Um... Kaguya."

"What is it?"

Shijo Maki organized her words, a strange blush appearing on her face, and cautiously asked.

"During the spring break... did you take care of it...?"

Shinomoya Kaguya frowned slightly, puzzled.

"Take care of what?"

"You... you..."

Hearing this, Shijo Maki's face changed, and she looked at Shinomoya Kaguya's abdomen, shocked.

“You wouldn't… you wouldn't want to give birth, would you? Having a child while you're in high school, if your family finds out… they'll… they'll… Oh my god… you absolutely have to make a rational decision, don't act on impulse!”

“What!?”

Fujiwara Chika, upon hearing this, couldn't help but reveal a look of shock, her entire demeanor changing drastically.

“Kaguya, you're pregnant!? Whose!?”

Kaguya Shinomiya was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Hayasaka Ai had told her that Yozora had said those outrageous words to test whether Shijo Maki was trustworthy.

Because her father was seriously ill, and coupled with the recent undercurrents, she had forgotten about this matter, but she didn't expect Shijo Maki to suddenly ask about it.

“You… I…”

Kaguya Shinomiya was also a little embarrassed to bring up this topic, her face flushed red. After trying to calm herself down, she barely managed to regain her composure.

“That… actually, I'm not pregnant at all. Yozora was just trying to see if we could trust you, so he deliberately made up those rumors.”

Shijo Maki didn't expect to receive such an answer. After a long silence, she tentatively asked.

“Then… then you two…”

“We haven't had any interactions that crossed the line between men and women.”

Kaguya Shinomiya waved her hand and slowly said.

“We haven't even kissed, how could I be pregnant?”

Shijo Maki nodded in agreement.

“That's right, unless you've kissed, how could you be pregnant?”

Fujiwara Chika: “…”

She was currently pondering something.

Should she speak up, or should she agree with these two's outrageous remarks?

Kissing leads to pregnancy… you guys…

What on earth are you talking about!?

That afternoon, after school, in the clubroom of Sobu High School.

“I've already sent the last equipment usage data to Master Miyamoto.”

Today was a rare day of leisure. After all, the accumulated exorcism requests had been resolved during the spring break. Futaba Rio leisurely sipped her coffee while reading a scientific book that looked profound and difficult to understand just from the cover, and casually spoke.

“Master Miyamoto will make some fine adjustments based on our individual combat habits, trying to ensure that the equipment meets everyone's requirements.”

“But…”

Yui Yuigahama tentatively asked.

“Master Miyamoto… how many masters does he have in total?”

“I don't know, probably just one, why?”

“No… I was thinking, his Honbyo Temple isn't a large temple, how many relics can he have to make equipment? What if there aren't enough raw materials?”

“That won't happen. Oda-sensei said that he's also collecting materials. Although there aren't many spiritual objects that can be bought with money, he's still a spiritualist, so he wouldn't buy fakes. We can always have Master Miyamoto remake them, it doesn't necessarily have to be relics.”

Hearing this, Yozora added a sentence that made the members present suddenly understand.

“Do you think there's a possibility that Master Miyamoto doesn't think that relics are indispensable, but because he wants to accumulate merit for those deceased monks, that's why he uses relics?”

“Ah?”

Futaba Rio frowned slightly upon hearing this, seemingly unsure of how to evaluate Master Miyamoto's behavior. After a long while, she pursed her lips and said with a complicated expression.

“That… in a sense, you and him are indeed kindred spirits, and your abstract ideas have even resonated here.”

Yozora waved his hand, looking embarrassed.

“Eh, you flatter me, you flatter me.”

Futaba Rio rolled her eyes and complained helplessly.

“I'm not praising you…”

Just then, Yukino Yukinoshita's phone suddenly rang. When she picked it up and looked at it, her face instantly changed.

Everyone noticed her emotions, and Yui Yuigahama quickly asked.

“Yukino-chan, what's wrong? Did something happen?”

“No…”

Yukino Yukinoshita looked hesitant, glanced at Yozora sitting at the head of the table, then glanced at Yui Yuigahama, and finally couldn't help but say.

“Um… Yozora, Yui, can you two come out with me for a moment…”

When Yui Yuigahama and Yozora walked out together, away from the clubroom, Yukino Yukinoshita showed them the content she had just received on her phone.

It was a text message from Haruno Yukinoshita, and the content was simple.

“Yukino, our company's industries in Kyoto have suddenly been completely suspended, the reasons are bizarre. The projects in other places are the same. Obviously, someone is causing trouble behind the scenes.”

Coincidentally, at this moment, a new text message appeared, with a cute tongue-sticking emoticon attached at the end.

“I have to oversee the overall situation in Chiba Prefecture, I don't have time to find you guys, so I'll leave the task of finding the mastermind to you and Yozora. Anyway, we're all family, you don't have to be polite with him, okay?”

Chapter 435: The Threat of Shinomiya Unyo, L's Investigation

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't know what the content of the text message was. She only heard the notification sound, and seeing the expression on Yui Yuigahama's face, who was about to lose it, she quickly turned the phone around. When she clearly saw the text message sent by her sister, her entire face couldn't help but turn red, and she quickly changed the subject.

“That… that what… cough cough… what my sister said, this matter is indeed quite important.”

Yukino Yukinoshita was flustered and had already started speaking incoherently.

The Yukinoshita Group is under attack, this matter is very important?

Anyone could say that, but she was the only one who couldn't.
