"Oh, can you really do everything?"
A boy's voice, half-smiling and half-serious, sounded.
Sanae Dekomori lifted her slightly immature little face.
"As long as the Imaginary Number Envoy-sama needs it, even my body can be freely used!"
Just as the girl's delicate voice fell, Shinka Nibutani beside her hurriedly grabbed her off the ground.
Coming out and saying she would hand over her body for someone else to use—how was Kuzeha supposed to respond to that?
Shinka Nibutani said irritably,
"Don't cause trouble for others!"
Sanae Dekomori tilted her head and looked at her somewhat strangely.
"Fake Shinka-sama clearly wants it too, so why are you stopping me?"
Shinka Nibutani's pretty face instantly flushed bright red!
"What do you mean by 'I want it too'..."
She tugged at Sanae Dekomori's twin tails.
For the boy who saved her life, she naturally held great affection.
Not to mention, he had given her that fantastical extraordinary experience of Susanoo.
But Sanae Dekomori's words about handing over her body just to satisfy her chūnibyō fantasies were unacceptable!
There had to be some form of repayment for a lifesaving favor... or something like that?
Shinka Nibutani randomly thought in her mind.
Nearby, Takanashi Rikka also seriously said to Sanae Dekomori,
"Kuzeha-kun... The Imaginary Number Envoy wouldn't look at a scrawny body like yours. Wait until you grow up like Shinka-sama."
Hearing her own name, Shinka Nibutani's pretty face flushed red again.
What did she mean by 'a body like hers'...? Did Kuzeha really like a body like hers?
Her gaze slightly drifted toward Kuzeha's direction.
At the moment their eyes met, as if struck by electricity, she quickly looked away.
Kuzeha helplessly tapped Takanashi Rikka's head.
"I'll tell your sister about today. You're on your own!"
Takanashi Rikka's little face immediately pouted.
"I have other things to do. Rikka, you all go home obediently. Shinka Nibutani-san, I'll leave them to you."
Kuzeha turned to Shinka Nibutani and said.
He had seen earlier that Shinka Nibutani pulled Takanashi Rikka and a few girls fleeing toward the shelter.
Among these two chūnibyōs and a sleepy hermit, in their small group of three, "Shinka Nibutani's reliability is undoubtedly very high!"
"No problem, just leave it to me!"
Under Kuzeha's gaze, Shinka Nibutani pursed her cherry lips and nodded very ladylike.
"You woman, talking to the Imaginary Number Envoy-sama in such a voice, trying to act cute..."
Sanae Dekomori's voice reached her ears, making Shinka Nibutani's ears burn red.
She glanced anxiously at Kuzeha's back, then embarrassedly hit Sanae Dekomori.
"You're the only one who can talk, huh!"
The evening's noble banquet was hosted by Mrs. Yukino Yukinoshita.
The Yukinoshita Group, as the fastest expanding conglomerate in recent years, was unrivaled in Japan's business circles!
However, the Yukinoshita Group mainly operated only in real estate. Apart from direct competitors, they had little contact with other families.
Therefore, other families were quite curious and cautious about this rapidly rising Yukinoshita Group.
This banquet was said to be the first grand event hosted by Mrs. Yukino Yukinoshita after their rise into the ranks of powerful families.
Moreover, rumors said Mrs. Yukino Yukinoshita was to announce some major product, so most families chose to attend.
The Suou family was no exception!
Suou Yumi, daughter of Suou family head Suou Gensei, and the biological mother of Suou Yuki!
As the eldest daughter of the Suou family, Suou Yumi was a failure.
Not only was she talentless in all respects, her personality was also very weak!
Other families called her either "Daughter of Suou Gensei" or "Mother of Suou Yuki," hardly caring about her actual name.
Within the family, her status was even lower than Suou Yuki's.
When the two went out together, she played the role of Suou Yuki's secretary.
In a luxury car cautiously driving on the road, Ayano Kimishima sat in the front passenger seat, with Suou Yumi and Suou Yuki in the back.
At this moment, Suou Yuki was looking strangely at the woman driving.
A few days ago, her grandfather assigned the bodyguard who had served her mother for many years to protect her full-time.
Meanwhile, her mother had newly hired a female bodyguard, Yor.
Black hair, red eyes, tall and curvy figure, elegant and beautiful enough to be a model.
But with her shaky driving skills, she hardly looked like a professional bodyguard.
"Mother, how did you hire Miss Yor?"
Suou Yuki asked curiously.
The voice fell into Yor's ears, causing her waist to tremble slightly.
A few days into joining the Suou family, Yor knew Suou Yuki was the future heir!
If the future head wasn't satisfied with her, she'd be unemployed again!
Since the "Garden" disbanded, she had lost her assassin job and income.
Finally getting a high-paying bodyguard job, if she lost it, everyone in the orphanage would go back to a life with no guaranteed meals.
At that moment, she heard Suou Yumi's voice.
"Miss Yor was an assassin before. This is her first time as a bodyguard. Yuki, please don't mind."
Though mother and daughter, Suou Yumi's words carried a respectful tone.
"An assassin before..."
Suou Yuki looked at Yor thoughtfully and nodded.
Suou Yumi looked at her daughter, her eyes dimmed slightly.
There was one more thing she didn't say aloud.
She had seen Yor's profile and knew that this assassin had been supporting the orphanage alone, reminding her of Kuzeha.
When Kuzeha was still young, he had shown amazing talent. Her father, Suou Gensei, had early on designated Kuzeha as the family's future heir!
Even after Kuzeha followed her ex-husband and left the Suou family, her father still held high hopes for him, wishing for his return.
Until her ex-husband passed away, and when they prepared to bring Kuzeha back, he refused, saying he needed to care for the orphanage girls.
From then on, the Suou family completely severed ties with Kuzeha.
Suou Gensei even forbade them from helping Kuzeha!
As a mother, Suou Yumi, due to her weakness, did not resist Suou Gensei and could not offer much help to her child.
This made Suou Yumi feel deep guilt toward that child.
In this guilty state, she developed empathy for Yor and chose to hire her.
"Yuki, recently you and..."
Suou Yumi was about to speak when the car slowly stopped.
"Are we here?"
Suou Yuki looked up out the window. Outside was a hotel owned by the Yukinoshita Group.
The banquet would be held here.
"Mother, what did you just say?"
Suou Yuki looked at Suou Yumi and asked.
The latter's eyes flickered slightly, then she shook her head.
"Nothing."
Then Ayano Kimishima opened the rear car door.
The mother and daughter got out one after another.
As soon as they got out, they saw a silver-haired cold and elegant girl also getting out of a car not far away.
"That's Momobami Kirari, the current head of the Momobami clan!"
Suou Yumi whispered.
She and Yuki were attending the banquet only to remind Yuki of others' identities to avoid accidents or enmity.
No sooner had she spoken than Momobami Kirari looked toward them and started walking over.
Suou Yumi was slightly stunned and quickly reminded Suou Yuki,
"The head recently cooperated with the Tsuibami family. If you can get along well with Momobami Kirari at the banquet, it may help your head."
The Momobami clan was huge, each branch having its own industry, and the Tsuibami family cooperating with the Suou family was part of the Momobami clan, subordinate to Momobami Kirari's main branch.
Being friendly with Momobami Kirari would definitely benefit the Suou family!
No sooner had she finished speaking than Momobami Kirari arrived in front of them.
Then, to Suou Yumi's astonished eyes, Momobami Kirari greeted Suou Yuki kindly, even respectfully.
"Miss Suou, we meet again!"
"Miss Momobami."
Suou Yuki nodded indifferently.
She wasn't surprised by Momobami Kirari's attitude.
Of course, she clearly knew Momobami Kirari's respect was entirely because of Kuzeha!
Suou Yuki felt no awkwardness over being just Kuzeha's sister and thus supposedly undeserving of such respect!
As Kuzeha's sister, Suou Yuki only felt pride and honor.
"This is Miss Suou Yumi, Auntie Suou, right?"
Momobami Kirari looked at Suou Yumi.
Her words made Suou Yumi feel flattered!
In past banquets, she was basically just a decoration.
Others calling her Miss Suou was already giving the Suou family face.
But Momobami Kirari, as the head of the Momobami clan, actually humbled herself to call her Auntie Suou?
This was an experience Suou Yumi had never had!
"Good evening, Miss Momobami!"
Suou Yumi blinked in surprise, then quickly responded.
Then Suou Yuki and Momobami Kirari walked into the hotel together.
Suou Yumi was extremely curious why Momobami Kirari treated her daughter with such respect, but found no chance to ask Suou Yuki.
So she turned to Ayano Kimishima and asked,
"Ayano, when did Yuki and Miss Momobami meet?"
Ayano Kimishima answered softly,
"Probably at last week's student council exchange meeting..."
"Student council exchange meeting?"
Suou Yumi was slightly stunned.
Her eyes looked somewhat absent-minded at her daughter.
Was her daughter's talent already dazzling enough to impress the current head of the Momobami clan at such a meeting?
Ayano Kimishima looked at this neglected Suou family matron, as if seeing through her thoughts.
"Mistress, you might be mistaken. Miss Momobami isn't respecting Miss Yuki, but Master Kuzeha!"
Hearing Ayano Kimishima's words, Suou Yumi was stunned.
"Yōno, this seems to be your family's first time hosting such a big banquet."
Inside the hotel, a pink-haired girl whose explosive figure was tightly bound by her gown curiously asked Yukino Yukinoshita.
Fujiwara Toyomi!
Miss Fujiwara, and also Yukino Yukinoshita's university classmate!
Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Fujiwara Toyomi.
Her figure, worthy of her name, made most noble ladies present feel ashamed.
"I heard you're going to release some major product?"
"Is it some new super real estate development?"
Fujiwara Toyomi continued questioning Yukino Yukinoshita.
Everyone else present was thinking similarly.
The Yukinoshita family was a real estate family; what other major product could they release besides buildings?
"Real estate?"
Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at her classmate and half-smiled.
"This time we're not doing real estate. We're entering the medical aesthetics industry."
Fujiwara Toyomi was surprised and even more curious.
"Medical aesthetics?"
"Don't tell me it's some money-grabbing product. I know a lot about beauty products!"
Yukino Yukinoshita smiled lightly and sized her up.
"Don't worry, you won't need it yet."
Fujiwara Toyomi blinked her beautiful eyes.
"So what exactly is the product? You're going to announce it soon, a little hint should be fine."
"I'll definitely support buying a hundred or eighty units!"
Yukino Yukinoshita turned to her, raising an eyebrow.
"A hundred or eighty units?"
"That's right!"
Fujiwara Toyomi patted her chest confidently.
"Well then, I'll tell you. The new product can make people return to youth..."
Fujiwara Toyomi listened to Yukino Yukinoshita's casual words and playfully hit her shoulder.
"If you don't want to say, never mind."
Yukino Yukinoshita just smiled and reminded,
"Remember to support a hundred or eighty units later!"
"If it's real, I will."
Fujiwara Toyomi waved her hand and returned to her seat at the banquet.
Next to her sat Suou Yuki and Momobami Kirari.
Fujiwara Toyomi greeted them but her beautiful eyes subtly moved.
"How did these two families get mixed together..."
The Suou family was a traditional diplomatic family and had good relations with her diplomat mother, so she paid attention to the Suou family.
Before she could think more, the banquet began...
