At 4 p.m., Kurosawa Hikaru arrived at the luxury apartment in the city center earlier than usual.
After all, it is summer vacation now, unlike before when we had to rush after classes.
Relying on the door card given by the part-time worker, he walked through the door of the apartment and then took the elevator.
"bite!"
With the clear and pleasant sound effects, he arrived at the corresponding floor.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Kurosawa."
Because it is a supporting facility, as long as someone takes the elevator and swipes the corresponding elevator card, there will be a prompt that Sayaka Akai is already standing at the elevator entrance waiting.
She was still the same as usual, even in the hot summer, she was still wearing that airtight maid outfit, looking very cold and ruthless.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Akai."
Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at her and responded.
Immediately, Sayaka Akai walked forward and stretched out her hand to check the briefcase.
"Why did you arrive so early today?"
While taking the briefcase to check if there were any dangerous items, Sayaka Akai lowered her head and moved her mouth slightly at an angle that could not be seen by the surveillance camera, making a very low sound.
"Fifteen minutes early, is there a problem?"
Noticing her whispered communication, Kurosawa Hikaru also spoke in a low voice.
"According to the rules, you can arrive early and wait, but compared to the past, today is quite unusual."
"This is my first part-time job during the summer vacation. It won't hurt to start early. What's the current situation?"
Kurosawa Hikaru is not very worried about this.
Although today's situation is indeed quite abnormal if we compare it with the video, it can be explained.
"The young lady just finished her dance class and is resting in her room."
"Is anyone else here?"
"No."
Hearing this reply, Kurosawa Mitsuru breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why he came so early was that he didn't want Shifengyuan's future parents to arrive early and set up a battle formation to wait for him.
"No problem, please follow me."
During the conversation, Akai Sayaka finished the routine inspection, handed the briefcase back to him, and spoke.
In fact, she didn't need to worry at all that Kurosawa Hikaru would cause any harm to the young lady.
It would be better to say that even without any dangerous equipment, Mr. Kurosawa is a humanoid weapon, proficient in fighting skills, and most importantly, he has infinite divine power. If he really wants to do evil, no one can stop him.
"good."
Hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly and then followed her.
Not long after, he arrived at the study room that he was very familiar with.
"What would you like to drink?"
"Ice water."
"Just a moment please."
She took him to the study, talked to him, and then left.
As the door of the study was closed, Kurosawa Mitsuru carried his briefcase and went straight to the desk, then moved a chair and sat down.
Then, he opened his bag and began to organize today's lessons.
Under the surveillance camera, there was nothing unusual about his every move, just like usual.
Not long after, as the clock on the wall showed, the time reached 4:30, and the study door was knocked and then opened.
As Kurosawa Hikaru looked in the direction of the voice, the figure of Shifengyuan Mirai appeared at the door and walked in.
However, compared to her usual ease and calmness, her expression today was more solemn and serious.
"Already here, but waiting outside the door for the right moment?"
Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Mitsuru looked normal, but he was aware of something in his heart.
On Sunday, he talked a lot with Shifengyuan Mirai.
That's why they simulated many situations in advance and formulated countermeasures.
As long as her expression was serious, it meant that her parents had come, but had not yet shown up, and were making long-term plans.
Faced with this situation, he absolutely could not communicate with her using pen and paper as usual, in order to avoid being caught with evidence of the two of them communicating privately.
"Good afternoon, Future."
After some thoughts, Kurosawa Hikaru stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"???"
Hearing this name, Sifengyuan Mirai, who was walking towards him step by step, had a determined expression and was full of question marks, and he suddenly became uneasy.
What’s going on? This is different from what we agreed on before.
"good afternoon."
Although he didn't know what was going on, Shifengyuan Mirai still responded with forced calmness.
Faced with her stiffness, Kurosawa Hikaru was helpless.
He also wanted to act according to the plan, but the problem was that he had specifically asked Brother Zhenyi about it this morning.
After all, Shifengyuan's future parents are big shots in the consortium. They both consider themselves to be of noble status and superior to others. They are very arrogant and claim to be smart. They are polite to the strong and arrogant to the weak.
When facing such a person, it is very stupid to be clever, pretend to be unfamiliar and polite, and act as if nothing is going on.
"Are your parents here?"
Then, Kurosawa Mitsuru asked straight to the point.
He did not lower his voice deliberately, but spoke naturally. The study door had not been closed yet, so the sound would be heard outside.
"They are all here."
Shifengyuan Mirai looked at him twice and understood something. Although she didn't know the situation, she cooperated.
"Are they all here? Where are they now?"
Seeing that she was very smart and actively cooperating, Kurosawa Hikaru asked again.
When facing someone with a strong personality and who thinks he is powerful, you cannot be servile and you must perform well enough.
In addition, it is far better to take the initiative and be strong rather than passive.
Perhaps his future acquaintance and contact with Shifengyuan could not be brought to the table. After all, it was he who passed the note that started the story between the two of them.
Although this is true, Brother Shinichi also reminded him of one thing, that he has completely gained the approval of the person in charge of the Shifengyuan family and has sufficient confidence.
"Right outside."
In this regard, even if Sifengyuan Mirai didn't understand the situation, he could only follow his wishes.
"Then I'll meet them first."
Having said that, Kurosawa Mitsuru straightened his clothes and walked over.
"Ah?" Shifengyuan Mirai was shocked by his actions.
Not only her, Sayaka Akai was also at a loss and couldn't help but look outside the door.
"despair."
At the same time, the crisp and pleasant sound of high heels came from outside the door.
Then, a beautiful young woman walked in step by step, wearing black patent leather high heels.
She had an exquisite and beautiful appearance, with her black hair tied up high, red lips painted with bright lipstick, fair skin, and a dignified and cool temperament. She was wearing a black dress with a corset around her slender waist. She was tall, with long arms and legs, a curvy figure, and was charming and graceful. She was carrying a handbag in her hand.
Cool, dignified, noble... Every move she made had a strong aura and exuded an unparalleled presence, just like a wealthy lady.
Maybe it's because she takes good care of herself, or maybe she is just young, she looks less than 30 years old.
Behind her, there was a maid of similar age.
This woman, named Shifengyuan Fubuki, took her husband's surname after marriage. Although her maiden family was not a conglomerate, she was a lady from a big family.
"Mrs. Shifengyuan."
Seeing her coming towards him decisively, Kurosawa Mitsuru narrowed his eyes slightly, and then took the initiative to say hello.
It's a pity that he still couldn't turn the tables. If he had suddenly rushed out and seen her standing outside the door to eavesdrop and observe the situation, he would have been able to take the initiative.
However, it is not difficult to see the talent and scheming of Mrs. Shifengyuan from this incident alone.
"Mr. Kurosawa, long time no see."
Facing this greeting, Shifengyuan Fubuki saw his natural and calm appearance, her red lips slightly parted, and her voice was very sexy and touching.
As she spoke, she looked up and down at Kurosawa Hikaru.
Compared to more than a year ago, Mr. Kurosawa is like a completely different person.
Last year, Kurosawa Hikaru looked very gentle and serious, with a very reserved personality. He gave people the impression of being immature and dull, with great ambition hidden in his eyes.
Today, Kurosawa Mitsuru still looks gentle and elegant, but he gives people a feeling of confidence, sunshine and calmness. The sharpness in his eyes is completely restrained and his eyes are very calm.
"cough!"
Then, with a low cough, a man walked in.
He was wearing a specially tailor-made slim-fit suit, his short hair was neatly combed, his thick eyebrows were raised like swords, his red eyes were sharp, indifferent and calm, and he looked like a handsome uncle with a stern and mature appearance.
Compared to the young and beautiful First Lady, he looks more haggard and mature, with crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, which can be seen at a glance that he is at least 40 years old.
After all, he is a man, and a big shot who holds real power and has been through many battles. He has no time to maintain himself, and all his time is spent on keeping mistresses.
This man, named Shifengyuan Huiyang, is the chairman of Fenglin Group and has an extraordinary status.
Behind him, there followed a butler with white hair.
The maids and butlers sent by the Akai family are usually about five years older than the people they serve, but no more than ten years older, in order to avoid any estrangement caused by a large age gap.
Seeing him appear, Kurosawa Mitsuru looked at him and sized each other up.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Kurosawa Hikaru."
The silence should not last too long, Kurosawa Mitsuru spoke first and reported his background.
"I've seen your match videos. You are the best marksman I've ever seen in my life... I'm Shifengyuan Teruyo, the child's father. Come out and talk."
Hearing this neither humble nor arrogant self-introduction, Shifengyuan Huiyang nodded slightly, looked at him with admiration, and responded.
"good."
Hearing his invitation, Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded.
As expected, just as Brother Shinichi said, the people of the Shihouin family have a tradition of practicing martial arts and archery since childhood, so they have a very respectful attitude towards archery.
Since I can get the recognition from the old man, it won’t be too difficult to get the recognition from Shifengyuan Huiyang.
In comparison, Mrs. Shifengyuan was the most difficult to deal with... After all, she was married into the Shifeng family and had no interest in Kyudo at all. She had only been to the Chuifeng Dojo once, and she was not interested even that time.
As he turned around and walked out of the study and towards the living room, Shifengyuan Fubuki looked deeply at Kurosawa Mitsuru, and then followed closely behind him.
The meaning of this look was difficult to understand, but it was definitely not admiration. Kurosawa Mitsuru had expected this and was not surprised, so he naturally followed in the footsteps.
“This is difficult.”
Shifengyuan Mirai was the last one to fall behind. She felt that the atmosphere between Kurosawa and his mother was unusually dull and solemn. She shook her head with a headache, but still followed.
