After reading the message with an expressionless expression, Kamisato Ayato burned the note with a candle.
Watching the flames devour the note bit by bit, Ayato let go and the ashes fell from mid-air, smashing into pieces in the brazier.
It's troublesome...
The message on the note was very simple. It told him that when Ouyang checked the archives today, he found a dossier proving that Tianling had arrested Xue Lian.
Instinctively, he immediately noticed something was wrong.
Is Tianling Zongxing a fool?
Would such an important thing, evidence, be so simply placed in the archives for Ouyang to check?
Therefore, that dossier must be fake!
And if Ouyang didn't do it on purpose, then...
Then it is possible to suspect the Kamisato family!
He knew the news that the archives were blocked yesterday, so precisely because of this, the suspicion of the Kamisato family was even greater.
The most important thing is that there is no way to prove this.
It makes sense and can't be explained clearly.
He can guarantee that at tomorrow's regular meeting at the castle tower, he will be questioned by Kujo Takayuki on other matters.
The candlelight on the desk danced, and Ayato, who had closed his eyes and thought, opened his eyes.
It's not his style to sit back and wait for death, he is ready to attack.
He did not clean up the scattered desk, but got up directly and went outside the room.
"Toma? Thomas!"
"I am here!"
When Toma heard the call, he didn't even have time to put down the broom in his hand, and ran to Ayato.
"Master, did you call me?"
Looking at Toma in "work clothes" in front of him, Ayato asked strangely: "What's going on with you?"
"Oh, I saw that there were too many petals falling in the yard, and the other servants were too busy, so I just wanted to clean them up."
"Let those petals stay." Ayato shook his head and said, "Ayaka quite likes the yard covered with petals."
"Besides, please get ready, I'm going out."
"Okay, Master. Where are you going?"
“Sky Villa.”
Um?
Thomas was stunned for a moment, but immediately turned around and got ready.
Ayato stood under the pavilion in the courtyard.
He turned to look at his sister's bedroom, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't knock on the door.
He originally wanted to take his sister with him, but after thinking about the special circumstances of his trip this time, he decided to forget it after careful consideration.
Soon, Thomas came to the courtyard.
"Master, you are ready."
"Okay. Let's go then."
Walking along the road covered with cherry blossoms, Ayato walked out of the gate, got on the carriage, and drove towards the Sky Villa in the Machichi Street.
The time comes in the afternoon.
Ayato, who had been receiving the news from the final episode, finally arrived at the gate of Sky Villa before evening.
He did not let Thomas call the door, but went to the courtyard door himself, stretched out his hand and knocked.
Knock knock knock——
"Mr. Ouyang, are you at home?"
After a while, the door of the villa opened
After hearing the sound, Ouyang stood at the door of the villa and looked at Ayato standing at the door with a strange expression.
"Is something wrong?"
Ayato didn't take it seriously at all with such an impolite and direct way of chatting.
He nodded calmly and said, "There are some things I want to discuss with Mr. Ouyang."
"Can you let me go in and talk?"
"Okay, the door is unlocked." After saying that, Ouyang turned around and entered the house.
There was no formal gesture like invitation at all.
"The head of the family..."
When Thomas saw Ouyang's attitude, his face became a little ugly.
But Ayato shook his head at him and ordered: "Stay safe here."
After saying that, he walked into the yard and directly entered the villa, carrying some food he bought on the road.
When I came to the door, there was no one in the hallway.
This indifferent attitude did not make Ayato angry.
Just when I was about to take off my shoes, Ouyang walked out from around the corner.
"Don't take it off, my family doesn't have that many rules."
As he said that, he saw what Ayato was holding and said, "Did you bring a gift here?"
"Just some Inazuma-style food, brought here for you to taste."
oh?
Ouyang raised his eyebrows and took the box where the food was placed.
While leading Ayato towards the living room, he shouted into the room.
"Honey! Come out to eat!"
嘤嘤嘤——
Unexpectedly, the first one to come out was the little fox.
After hearing that there was something to eat, she jumped out of Shen He's arms and rushed towards the living room.
Today, Ouyang didn't go out again after returning from Tianling Fengxing Mansion, but she was very hungry.
Therefore, his short limbs moved very fast, and he rushed into the living room with a thump.
Shen He walked out of another study room unhurriedly.
Ouyang dug a swimming pool in the yard on the other side of the villa. Before Ayato came, the two of them were resting in the sun after swimming.
Therefore, Shen He's hair is still wet at this moment.
He silently nodded to Ayato and said hello, then he held the little fox in his arms again, sat aside, and picked food.
"Sit down." Ouyang had no intention of inviting Ayato into the study to chat, and said casually, "If you have anything to do, just tell me."
After saying that, he sat down next to Shen He, picked up a skewer of barbecue handed over by Shen He, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
"That's right, Ayato, where did you find this?"
Ayato, who was sitting on the other side of the table, laughed when he heard this and said: "These days, the news says that Mr. Ouyang often patronizes some Inazuma restaurants and orders every dish, so I guess Mr. Ouyang should be able to
I like some of Inazuma’s delicacies.”
"So I brought some with me this time. If you like them, I'll be relieved."
The words were spoken in an extremely gentle tone, without being too revealing.
Ouyang understood the meaning of the words, but quietly finished the barbecue in his hand.
What do these mean?
Investigate me?
Still say it clearly?
Don't think about things you don't understand. This is Ouyang's creed. Just ask directly.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"That's right..." Ayato still had that gentle look on his face. He looked at Ouyang and continued, "The news about Mr. Ouyang's inspection of the archives today has begun to spread."
Having said this, Ayato's face became more serious: "I just learned about the found file in the morning."
"Therefore, I would like to borrow something from Mr. Ouyang."
"What?" Ouyang took another skewer of barbecue from Shen He and asked casually.
"I, the Kamisato family, have made a deal with Mr. Ouyang. I will use the family's final chapter to help you find your family. What you have to do is to keep silent about cooperation with the Kamisato family."
After finishing his appeal, Ayato looked at Ouyang seriously and began to feel nervous.
His appeal is simple, to take advantage of the situation.
Taking advantage of Ouyang's power, the people of the Kujo family were forced to take action.
This is the best solution he can think of at the moment.
Normally, the deal he proposed was unequal. It meant that Ouyang got full help from the final episode without doing anything.
But Ayato has no choice now.
The Kamisato family must be stabilized first.
On the other side, Ouyang finished the barbecue in his hand again.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and began to understand why Ayato gave him this weird feeling from the moment he walked in.
The food he gave me and the words he said were all telling him about his strength in the final episode in disguise.
He doesn't understand the twists and turns in Dao's wife, and he doesn't want to get stuck in them.
