After leaving Sobu High and returning to their car, Ririka Momobami couldn't help but look at Kirari Momobami and ask.
"Do the elders in the family know about your decision?"
Kirari Momobami closed her beautiful eyes, her indifferent voice revealing a hint of coldness.
"Relying on those stubborn old fools, the family would have perished long ago!"
Ririka Momobami looked at her strong-willed sister, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly.
On this point, she completely agreed with Kirari.
The elders in the family were almost all cowards who feared death, having long lost the ability to steer the great ship that was the Momobami clan.
If not for Kirari Momobami's meteoric rise, the Momobami clan would have already fallen into decline.
Such a heaven-sent genius was willing to bring the Momobami clan to follow a young man...
The image of Kuzeha floated through Ririka Momobami's mind.
Up until now, Kuzeha gave her the impression of being more of a handsome and easygoing high school student.
"I trust you!"
Ririka Momobami nodded.
She had absolute faith in her sister's abilities and judgment.
Kirari Momobami's beautiful eyes slowly opened, revealing a gaze that intertwined absolute calm rationality with incredibly mad gambling desire!
"Perhaps this will be our only chance!"
She said quietly.
In the meteor incident, the shocking power that Kuzeha displayed had already made her submit!
Afterward, she had tried every means possible to win over Kuzeha.
Unfortunately, she hadn't expected that the Yukinoshita family had already gotten there first!
Now, looking at the Yukinoshita family with Kuzeha at its helm, they possessed extraordinary power comparable to the Hero Association!
The rejuvenation drug was enough to drive all capital crazy, and the Yukinoshita family could use it to exchange for almost any material and resources!
Thus, the Yukinoshita family had already stepped onto the path to heaven!
And all of this was brought about by Kuzeha!
After returning from the Yukinoshita consortium's banquet, Kirari Momobami had sorted all this out.
While shocked and amazed, she also felt regret!
For Kuzeha, who had already supported the Yukinoshita family, the current Momobami clan no longer had any bargaining chips that could move him!
Until she learned that Oko Shinomiya had provoked heroes to go after the Yukinoshita consortium, Kirari Momobami saw an opportunity!
A bargaining chip that might be able to move Kuzeha!
That's why today's conversation happened.
As it turned out, she had bet correctly!
At this moment, Ririka Momobami beside her said softly.
"But can we really devour the Shinomiya consortium?"
Kirari Momobami looked down at her own rounded, lustrous fingernails.
"As long as we expel the Shinomiya family from the Hero Association, with Oko Shinomiya's capabilities, he won't be able to protect the Shinomiya consortium!"
"But expelling the Shinomiya family from the Hero Association should be very difficult..."
Ririka Momobami hesitantly spoke.
In her impression, such a thing had never happened in the Hero Association!
Hearing this, Kirari Momobami's lips curved into a slight arc.
"No, this is the simplest part!"
"Only those who hold guns know how terrifying guns are!"
As one of the interest groups in the Hero Association, she understood the thoughts of the other families all too well!
Kuzeha's strength had amazed even S-class heroes, and several S-class heroes owed Kuzeha favors—such an existence was absolutely not to be offended!
Only an idiot like Oko Shinomiya would be foolish enough to provoke the Yukinoshita consortium.
"Have the other families prepare to devour the Shinomiya consortium!"
Kirari Momobami said with determination.
Sobu High.
"Kuzeha-sama, can Kirari Momobami really swallow the Shinomiya consortium?"
"From her tone, it seems like a sure thing."
Hearing Kuzeha's words, Haruno Yukinoshita looked up at him with some surprise.
She hadn't expected Kuzeha to think so highly of Kirari Momobami.
"What's so strange about that?"
Kuzeha stroked Haruno Yukinoshita's smooth hair.
"Kirari Momobami may seem like a crazy gambler, but for her to win her way to today's position, her grasp of human nature and situations has far exceeded ordinary people!"
"From the moment the Shinomiya family provoked heroes, they were already food on the plate."
"The difference is just who will devour them!"
Kuzeha said calmly.
He hadn't planned to spare the Shinomiya family anyway, but since Kirari Momobami had volunteered herself, he was happy to save his own energy.
Haruno Yukinoshita's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.
From Mrs. Yuki to Kirari Momobami, the families wanting to follow Kuzeha were becoming increasingly powerful.
Even though the Yukinoshita family was currently Kuzeha's "direct lineage," recalling the alluring or gentle Momobami sisters, Haruno Yukinoshita couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
With these thoughts, Haruno Yukinoshita's nationally beautiful face buried itself down again.
It wasn't until the bell rang several times that the two emerged from the conference room.
They happened to run into Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was returning to her office after class.
"You two discussed for so long?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka raised an eyebrow.
Her gaze fell on Haruno Yukinoshita beside them.
Seeing the other's flushed and radiant face, she couldn't help but sigh.
"As expected of young people—working for an hour or two and still full of energy!"
"I'm exhausted to death just from teaching two classes!"
Hearing this, Haruno Yukinoshita's ears turned slightly red.
They had indeed been doing something for quite a while, but it wasn't work...
Haruno Yukinoshita then left Sobu High.
Tonight was the first auction of the rejuvenation drug, and she needed to return to make some preparations.
Afternoon.
Third-year Class D!
After the dismissal bell rang, Utaha Kasumigaoka, who had been barely able to contain herself, immediately stood up from her seat.
"Kasumigaoka-san?"
The teacher on the podium looked at her with some surprise.
"Sorry, teacher, I have urgent business!"
Utaha Kasumigaoka bowed slightly to the teacher, then picked up her bag and left the classroom directly.
Seeing this, the teacher could only shake his head helplessly.
Utaha Kasumigaoka was the only student in the class who could make it into the top five of the grade.
In Sobu High, a school focused on college preparation, good grades meant you could do whatever you wanted!
The teacher, who had originally planned to extend class for a few minutes, had no choice but to say to the students.
"That's all for today!"
"Yeah!"
With cheers, students rushed out of the classroom.
At this time, Utaha Kasumigaoka was already almost downstairs.
Her long legs wrapped in slightly translucent black stockings rapidly descended the stairs, causing her skirt hem and thigh flesh to bounce continuously.
After reaching the first floor, she immediately headed outside the school.
Sonoko Machida had told her that her admired Feather Teacher would be visiting the Fushikawa editorial department this afternoon.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that she absolutely couldn't miss!
For this, Utaha Kasumigaoka had prepared her favorite work by Feather Teacher, hoping to get an autograph!
Fushikawa Publishing was less than two kilometers from Sobu High, only about a twenty-minute walk.
Utaha Kasumigaoka often discussed plots with Sonoko Machida at the coffee shop next to Fushikawa Publishing, so she was quite familiar with the editorial department's location.
The girl walked down the street with her bag, most of the passersby being Sobu High students.
The passing students' gazes involuntarily fell on Utaha Kasumigaoka.
Whether it was her waist-length black hair, her translucent beautiful black legs, her criminally voluptuous curves, or her quiet literary beauty... all of these undoubtedly stirred the youthful hearts of the boys.
Utaha Kasumigaoka was used to screening out all these gazes.
At this moment, she was fantasizing in her heart about what kind of person Feather Teacher would be.
Several years ago, it was under the guidance of Feather Teacher's interesting writing that she gradually became a literary girl and eventually dove headfirst into the light novel world.
Feather Teacher held a position like a master in the light novel world, with countless people giving him extremely high praise!
Many even thought that calling Feather Teacher a master of light novels was actually underestimating him!
With his ability, he could completely become a pivotal figure in the literary world!
After all, Feather Teacher had also published works like "Norwegian Wood" and "No Longer Human" that had shocked the literary world!
However, compared to those heavy texts, she preferred Feather Teacher's playful light novels!
As they say, seeing the writing is like seeing the person!
Initially, in Utaha Kasumigaoka's imagination, Feather Teacher should be the kind of uncle with disheveled facial hair and eyes that saw through the world but still remained bright and spirited.
However, after chatting with Sonoko Machida last time, she learned that Feather Teacher was actually a young man only five or six years older than her?
This cast a mysterious veil over the uncle image in her mind!
Making her even more curious about Feather Teacher's true appearance!
Screech!
"Watch out!"
Just then, the harsh sound of tires scraping against the ground and pedestrians' warnings suddenly rang out.
Utaha Kasumigaoka instinctively looked up and saw an out-of-control black car bearing down on her.
The girl's mind went blank.
Before she could react, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm, and Utaha Kasumigaoka was yanked backward into a young man's firm chest.
Bang!
The black car's front end crashed into a roadside wall, barely missing Utaha Kasumigaoka's skirt!
"Th-thank you!"
Utaha Kasumigaoka stepped back with lingering fear and thanked the young man in front of her!
"It's fine as long as you're okay."
Watching the young man's departing figure, Utaha Kasumigaoka let out a breath of relief and quickly took a few steps to catch up.
"You're a second-year student, right?"
Utaha Kasumigaoka's gaze lingered on his handsome face for a moment, then fell on the blue tie at his collar, asking softly.
"Yes, is there something you need, senpai?"
"Could you tell me your name, kohai-kun? I'd like to thank you properly next time we meet!"
Utaha Kasumigaoka said with some solemnity.
If not for this kohai, she would have been hit by that black car at the very least with broken bones!
That would have made her miss the chance to meet Feather Teacher!
"Kuzeha!"
"I look forward to senpai's thanks next time we meet!"
As soon as Kuzeha finished speaking, a car stopped beside him.
Before Utaha Kasumigaoka could ask about his class, Kuzeha had already gotten in the car and left.
Watching the vehicle gradually disappear, Utaha Kasumigaoka pursed her cherry lips.
"I haven't even told him my name yet!"
Utaha Kasumigaoka's beautiful eyes showed some helplessness.
Kuzeha's clean and decisive departure even made her doubt her own attractiveness for a moment.
"Whatever, I'll ask the teachers to look up which class he's in when I get back!"
Utaha Kasumigaoka shook her head and continued walking quickly toward Fushikawa Publishing's editorial department.
More than ten minutes later.
Utaha Kasumigaoka discovered that the entrance to Fushikawa Publishing was completely blocked!
There were people shouting about wanting to have Feather Teacher's babies...
People holding "I Love Feather Teacher" banners...
People cosplaying popular characters from Feather Teacher's works...
"What's happening here?"
Utaha Kasumigaoka muttered in amazement.
The entrance to Fushikawa Publishing was blocked three layers deep, making it impossible to enter.
Utaha Kasumigaoka had no choice but to call Sonoko Machida.
"Half an hour ago, someone leaked the news that Feather Teacher would be coming this afternoon online, and now who knows how many people are rushing to the editorial department..."
Hearing Sonoko Machida's helpless voice, Utaha Kasumigaoka's heart skipped a beat.
"So Feather Teacher isn't coming today?"
"He's already here..."
Utaha Kasumigaoka could vaguely hear the amazement in Sonoko Machida's tone.
"Go around to the underground parking garage next door, I'll come get you!"
Utaha Kasumigaoka didn't ask further questions and went directly to the underground parking garage.
Soon, she saw Sonoko Machida.
"Has Feather Teacher arrived?"
As soon as they met, Utaha Kasumigaoka asked impatiently.
Sonoko Machida nodded.
Then, she said in a shocked yet mysterious tone.
"When you see Feather Teacher, you'll definitely be shocked!"
Sonoko Machida's words immediately piqued Utaha Kasumigaoka's curiosity!
"Feather Teacher is in the conference room. He still needs to discuss things with the illustrator later. You can rest in this room for now..."
Sonoko Machida brought Utaha Kasumigaoka to a break room.
However, as soon as she entered the room, she saw a petite girl struggling continuously in the arms of a capable female editor.
"Let me go, I want to see Yu!"
Utaha Kasumigaoka looked at the girl, a gleam flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She recognized this girl—the genius young author Nayuta Kani!
Utaha Kasumigaoka looked curiously at Sonoko Machida, who immediately shook her head helplessly.
"Yu is Feather Teacher!"
Utaha Kasumigaoka's spirits immediately lifted.
From Nayuta Kani's tone, she seemed to be very familiar with Feather Teacher?
Driven by curiosity, Utaha Kasumigaoka curiously asked.
"Is Kani-sensei very familiar with Feather Teacher?"
Nayuta Kani immediately turned to look at Utaha Kasumigaoka, her azure eyes briefly sizing up this girl who combined literary elegance with beauty.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, then she said without hesitation.
"Of course, I'm Yu's juice machine!"
