Chapter 93: My Yin Coin Power is Greater Than Yours!
When Natsuba Hanae arrived at the south gate…
She happened to see Mizuō Rin pushing a wheelchair, and in the wheelchair sat none other than Natsuba Kouryu.
Seeing this, Natsuba Hanae quickly said,
“Brother, Steward Mizuō, good day.”
Mizuō Rin, seeing Natsuba Hanae, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses.
He clearly hadn’t expected her to come.
“Second Miss, good day.”
But Natsuba Kouryu looked indifferent, a hint of disgust on his face.
“What are you doing here?”
“I’ve put up with you in my hospital room for days. Now that I’m going out, you’re following me?”
With his limbs severed, his strength greatly diminished, and his chances of competing for the head position gone…
Natsuba Kouryu no longer bothered to pretend to be a gentle, refined nobleman, but showed a bit of his true nature.
However, because Natsuba Hanae had visited him every day for several days…
Natsuba Kouryu had, in a way, grown accustomed to her presence. Although he had taunted her relentlessly…
Natsuba Hanae just wouldn’t leave.
He was powerless.
Although she was a bastard, a piece of goods…
She was still a direct descendant of the Natsuba family. If he wanted to harm or even kill her…
Not to mention the protection of the Natsuba main residence, whether it would activate or not…
Just the marriage alliance with the Kujō family, if he were to scar Natsuba Hanae’s face, Natsuba Genryū would weigh the importance of Natsuba Hanae against his own.
And the balance would likely tip in Natsuba Hanae’s favor.
He would be punished.
And this time, his trip to Onmoraki’s concert was just a way to relieve the boredom of being cooped up in the Natsuba main residence.
After all, Natsuba Kouryu’s favorite singer was Onmoraki.
This time, he could be there in person, to hear the beautiful, ethereal voice.
Thinking about it, Natsuba Kouryu felt a flicker of anticipation.
Of course…
Onmoraki’s beautiful voice was just the appetizer. The main course was yet to come.
Unconsciously, a gentle, refined smile, characteristic of a hypocrite, appeared on Natsuba Kouryu’s lips.
He looked at Natsuba Hanae, and a cruel thought suddenly crossed his mind.
A side dish, perhaps?
“Little sister, I’m going to Onmoraki’s concert. Would you like to come with me?”
“This is probably a rare opportunity for you to leave the main residence.”
“If Father blames us, I’ll take full responsibility. Consider it a thank you for taking care of me all this time.”
Natsuba Kouryu said gently.
His expression returned to its usual disguise, friendly and gentle, the very picture of a refined gentleman.
Hearing this, Natsuba Hanae was slightly taken aback.
She had been trying to figure out a way to get Natsuba Kouryu to take her to the concert, and he had just offered it to her.
After all, in the past few days…
Natsuba Hanae had used Natsuba Kouryu as a test subject and had roughly figured out the Natsuba main residence’s divinity’s response to varying degrees of harm to a direct descendant.
Natsuba Kouryu had no more use value.
She had been planning to get rid of him. After all, with his daily insults…
And his past attitude towards her…
He had no reason to live.
But she hadn’t expected Natsuba Kouryu to be so eager to die, to choose to go to Onmoraki’s concert at this time. This gave Natsuba Hanae a perfect opportunity to act.
An opportunity that wouldn’t arouse any suspicion from the Natsuba main residence or Natsuba Genryū.
And just now, Natsuba Kouryu had not only sought his own death, but had also personally invited her, handing her the knife.
Looking at Natsuba Kouryu’s innocent, gentle smile…
Natsuba Hanae’s red, glass-like eyes swirled. She had already seen through everything.
He likely had some ill intentions, was planning something.
This sparked a deep sense of mischief in Natsuba Hanae, and a wicked idea to play along with his scheme.
She responded to his smile.
A look of surprise appeared on Natsuba Hanae’s lips, and her deep red eyes overflowed with joy.
“Really?”
“Thank you, brother, for your concern, for letting me go out and have some fun.”
Mizuō Rin, having served his master for many years, also understood a part of Natsuba Kouryu’s intentions.
Because the Mizuō branch had switched masters, he considered Natsuba Hanae, the sister of their new master’s subordinate, Natsuba Rinrei, to be one of their own.
He wanted to warn her.
“Second Miss, I’m sorry, but we only have two tickets for this concert…”
“Rin?!”
“I thought we had three tickets. Morishige was supposed to go, but he couldn’t make it at the last minute.”
Natsuba Kouryu snorted, slightly annoyed, and came up with an excuse to silence Mizuō Rin.
However, he didn’t think much of it. Mizuō Rin had always been a kind-hearted person. He just assumed he was being nice to Natsuba Hanae.
Although they really only had two tickets, with the Natsuba conglomerate’s wealth and resources, they could easily get not just two, but ten tickets.
Then, Natsuba Kouryu added,
“But since we only have three tickets, Chikari Makoto probably can’t go.”
“But don’t worry, little sister.”
“Mizuō Rin is also a B-rank supernatural user. He’ll protect us.”
He looked at Chikari Makoto beside Natsuba Hanae, his mind working.
Chikari Makoto was a B-rank supernatural user from the Chikari branch, with considerable combat power. And he had heard that she was close to Natsuba Hanae.
If he were to make a move on Natsuba Hanae, she might try to stop him.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, it was best to send her away.
Hearing this, Natsuba Hanae pursed her lips, maintaining her smile.
“Brother is right.”
“Makoto, you can go back to the main residence for now.”
And when Chikari Makoto heard this, her golden eyes closed, and she sighed inwardly, turning away.
“Yes, Second Miss.”
With that, she walked back towards the main residence.
Of all the people present, she was the one who saw things most clearly.
Because she knew the true nature of everyone present. Mizuō Rin was on the first layer, Natsuba Kouryu on the second, and Mom wasn’t even in the thousand-layer cake; she was the one who ate the thousand-layer cake!
And what was even more terrifying was that Natsuba Kouryu had actually sent her away.
Mom often restrained her mischievous side to prevent her from seeing anything too twisted. But if she wasn’t by Mom’s side…
And Onmoraki wasn’t an ungraduated daughter like her. Mom would completely unleash her mischievous nature.
At that point, the scene that would unfold would be indescribable.
But Natsuba Kouryu was probably done for.
And at that moment, with Mizuō Rin as the driver, Natsuba Kouryu sat in the passenger seat.
And Natsuba Hanae sat in the back.
The three of them sped towards Yokohama.
In the car, Natsuba Kouryu looked at the rearview mirror and saw Natsuba Hanae with her eyes closed. He thought she was just resting.
But he didn’t know that Natsuba Hanae’s consciousness was already immersed in another “body.”
At the top of the high wall…
The bird-masked statue began to crack, revealing delicate skin underneath.
