Of course, Miyabi Usagi knew what happened inside the Shijo mansion.
She had been pondering who was pulling the strings behind the scenes, managing to orchestrate such a massive collective resistance from external forces against the Shijo family.
And the final result was actually Kaguya-sama.
This was truly unexpected.
Miyabi Usagi bowed slightly.
“You’re joking, Master Shijo.”
“You know whether I’m joking or not.”
Shijo Koki sighed, looking slightly despondent.
“My youngest sister, I've always treated her as a mere tool.”
“Who would have thought, a tool would play a wildcard, stepping on the Shijo family with one foot.”
“It’s not just my sister, your daughter is the same.”
“The wedges I’ve always controlled, they ended up betraying me in the end.”
A lifetime of hunting, only to be pecked in the eye by the eagle he raised, how ironic.
Perhaps if he had known about some of the things that happened in the end, he could have still exerted control.
Unfortunately, all his efforts have become a joke now.
“Good job!”
While her expression remained unchanged, Miyabi Usagi couldn't help but give her daughter and Kaguya-sama a thumbs up in her heart.
Shijo Koki had the deepest control over the entire Shijo family.
This man would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
Being able to make this man feel defeated meant a crushing victory without any mercy.
Miyabi Usagi didn't investigate who was behind it, she was no traitor to her master at this time.
So, she found it even more satisfying to see the once proud and arrogant Shijo family eldest son become so despondent.
When she got back, she would have to describe what happened here to Masato.
Meanwhile, Miyabi Usagi kept a gentle expression on her face, her features radiating “respect”.
“Master Shijo, perhaps things are not as you think.”
“……”
Shijo Koki suddenly remembered why he had chosen Miyabi.
Besides being easy to control, there was another reason.
Her facial expression management was too good, even he couldn't see through the cracks.
Like mother, like daughter.
“You really are just like when you were with Yunying, more smooth than your daughter and better at maintaining your façade.”
“Thank you for your praise, Master Shijo.”
Although she knew it was sarcasm, Miyabi Usagi wasn’t angry at all.
At this moment, any reaction from Shijo Koki was nothing more than the howling of a defeated dog.
“Master Shijo, the night wind is chilly, why don’t you go inside first?”
“Mainly it wouldn’t be good to make Kaguya-sama wait.”
“……”
Those words irritated Shijo Koki.
“Hmph!”
He snorted angrily and turned to walk into the villa.
Miyabi Usagi followed behind with a dignified and appropriate smile.
In the living room of the villa, Shijo Kaguya had been waiting there for a long time.
She sat on the sofa gracefully, flipping through her diary.
“It seems simply reading the diary normally is not enough to get a reward.”
Today's diary viewing raffle was again “Thank you for participating.”
“After the first time I read the diary, I was reminded of the raffle, I should have gotten the best thing by now.”
【One Piece】
【Get Devil Fruit: Hie Hie no Mi (Ice-Ice Fruit)】
Although the fruit was very disgusting, after eating it, she gained extraordinary power.
After several more raffles, two were “Thank you for participating,” and one was “Sea King Meat.”
Only Sea King Meat was a good one.
So, there are a series of rules for viewing the diary.
It's certain that the rules for viewers are definitely more stringent than those the diary owner faces.
This is probably the difference between the diary owner and the holder.
But it’s normal to have a difference, without a difference, how can you tell who is more important?
“Kaguya-sama.”
Miyabi’s reminder from behind brought Shijo Kaguya back to her senses.
She saw the villa door slowly open and her older brother and Aunt Miyabi walked in one after the other.
This made Shijo Kaguya stand up as well.
She took the initiative to step forward.
She passed Shijo Koki and greeted Miyabi Usagi, who was walking behind him.
“Long time no see, Aunt Miyabi.”
“Long time no see, Kaguya-sama.”
Miyabi Usagi didn’t expect Kaguya-sama to welcome her so warmly.
Her eyes glanced at Shijo Koki in front, who was trembling.
“Just so happens, now that the Shijo family is in my hands, I need a lot of people to take over the Shijo family's businesses, I think the Usagi family would be a good help.”
“Shijo Kaguya!!!”
Shijo Koki, who had been ignored, finally couldn’t take it anymore. He roared in fury, lowering the temperature of the entire living room by several degrees.
But Shijo Kaguya smiled coldly upon hearing the voice that had broken down.
“Ah, it’s big brother, I didn’t see you there.”
“Sorry, I thought you had already retired and stayed at home.”
“Shijo Kaguya… I’m still the heir of the Shijo family!”
Shijo Koki emphasized this fact.
“Not for long.”
But Shijo Kaguya didn’t hold back at all.
“The Shijo family is crumbling now, on the outside, it’s being suppressed by the Sankyoin family, big brother, how long do you think the Shijo family has before it completely falls?”
“If the heir doesn’t change, the Shijo family will only fall.”
“Big brother, do you think you can accept the complete collapse of the Shijo family?”
“It’s so cruel.”
Miyabi Usagi felt that those words were more powerful than stabbing him with a knife.
Shijo Koki’s expression really did crumble.
Could the Shijo family take it?
They couldn’t at all.
Once the Shijo family collapsed, no one in the family would be able to live unscathed.
“It’s the same for you.”
“Really? Then, big brother, why do you think the Sankyoin family is helping me?”
Shijo Koki choked.
He didn’t know the reason, but he could tell that even if the Shijo family completely collapsed, Kaguya had enough confidence to receive protection from the Sankyoin family.
But Kaguya could get the Sankyoin family’s protection, what about the rest of the Shijo family?
Probably the moment the Shijo family fell, their enemies would come knocking that night.
Shijo Kaguya held Aunt Miyabi’s hand and walked to the sofa to sit down.
The cold smile on her face was like an empress looking down at an imprisoned emperor.
“Now is my time to speak, Shijo Kaguya. You have no choice but to accept.”
“The position of heir is something you’re actively giving to me now, I don’t want it, the Shijo family will be liquidated.”
“Right now, you’re begging me, don’t get the logic wrong, big brother.”
“Also, I hate speaking while looking up.”
“You know what I mean, big brother.”
