The Youngest Son of a Japanese Conglomerate. 491

Chapter 491 – Episode 54. Daigo Succession War.

Around the time when Ryuta Taira finished her date with Risa Minamoto, an anonymous ID started linking to articles from an online newspaper called Searchai on each club site at St. Francis Girls’ Academy.

Links to articles began to appear around the same time, as if someone had worked on them, not only in general clubs but also on many unofficial sites.

The title of the article was “The faction of St. Francis Girls’ Academy that uses terrorism as political strife!” And it talked about the current power struggle between the Tadanori faction and the Toyota faction. Of course, since it was the Toyotaca faction that used terrorism, most of the content was about Toyota. It was unfavorable information about the Ka faction.

In addition, it was an article that seemed likely to cause quite a stir as it contained the scoop that they were planning to join forces with Minamoto to oust Daigo Tadanori, who was almost confirmed to be the next head of the family.

Of course, students were not the only ones who knew the contents of this article. All parties involved in the article were reading the article.

In particular, people in the Toyotaka faction were very surprised when they heard that they were joining forces with Minamoto. The temporary head of the academy, Kosuke Ishidera, who is currently in charge of operations at St. Francis Girls’ Academy, Heijuro Nitta, a staff member sent by Shigemune Minamoto, and executives gathered to begin the meeting.

“It’s not good.”

Heijuro Nitta opened his mouth in a low voice. Originally, she was not supposed to have Minamoto exposed. If Minamoto is revealed, Tadanori, the opposing faction, will naturally attract Minamoto’s archenemy Taira.

“We can’t do anything about what’s already known, so we’ll have to revise our plan to take things slowly.”

In fact, Kosuke Ishidera and Minamoto were planning to gradually handle the work during the month and a half that Terue Daigo was away due to suspension.

Since he became the temporary head of the academy with free access to the materials of St. Francis Girls’ Academy, he dug into the academy’s information and used that information to attack Terue Daigo and the Tadanori faction, while at the same time attacking the Toyotaka faction and the Minamoto family, a collateral faction that followed the opinions of the teachers. The plan was to gather the affected factions and seize the position of head of the family by acquiring more than 50 percent of the shares of the Daigo Education Foundation.

However, this method could not be used for more than a large amount of money due to the rumor that Minamoto was behind Toyotaka. No matter how much they supported Daigo Toyotaka, most of them did not welcome the introduction of foreign power into the family.

“If we change the plan, we will have no choice but to use force.”

Kosuke Ishidera nodded her head at Nitta Heijuro’s words. At that time, the door to the room they were in burst open and a man came in.

“Director of the academy… ! We have received intelligence that the Tadanori faction has formed an alliance with Kujo!”

The man was Kosuke Ishidera’s secretary and had come in a hurry to inform him of new information. Since the information about the opposing faction’s alliance was important information, no one in the conference room said anything to the secretary even though he opened the door and entered a hurry.

“What?! “Not Taira, but Kujou?”

Kosuke Ishidera asked back as if he was puzzled, but Heijuro Nidda nodded at the information.

“Daigo Tadanori… You’re smart! “Taira is going to step into this matter regardless of whether they form an alliance or not, so they are probably trying to make their anti-Minamoto force very large by forming an alliance with a third force.”

Recently, in famous Japanese families, it was popular to say that on the other side of Minamoto was Taira, or vice versa, on the opposite side of Taira was Minamoto, which meant that Taira and Minamoto were enemies. The Tadanori faction took advantage of this and joined hands with Kujo rather than directly with Taira. Taira had an ulterior motive that he would come along to deal with Minamoto anyway. Of course, Taira’s side may not have good feelings toward the Tadanori faction, which used a trick to avoid paying the fair price, but the Tadanori faction must first defeat the wolf called Minamoto who is trying to enter their home, so Taira is a little upset. It seemed like he was willing to take it.

“I tried to seize the opportunity while considering the use of force, but if this happens, we have to make a quick decision before Tyra, who is not an ally, properly participates in the war.”

“More than anything, shouldn’t we decide carefully where to project force?”

Kosuke Ishidera agreed with Nitta Heijuro’s statement that force should be used quickly and quickly, but also said that the target for use of force should be carefully decided. No matter how much he borrowed Minamoto’s power, he could not rely on that power and use force at will. He will be effective only if he puts in the right effort at the right time.

“Should we attack the leadership as expected?”

“Of course we’ll have to hit Tadanori or Terue, but we’ll be ready for that. “You will have to take some damage.”

The other person was not an idiot either, so they would have been prepared. However, Heijuro Nitta was confident in saying that he had to accept the damage.

“I can easily overcome someone like Kujo.”

Even Kujo, who was in 3rd and 4th place in the Japanese business hierarchy, was called Minamoto and looked down on him.

“You can just hit Tadanori, but Terue has a lot of talent, so it might be difficult. How about doing it this way? First, I’ll make you lose your senses with an attack, and then…”

Kosuke Ishidera smiled wickedly and began to explain his plan to Nitta Heijuro.

When I went to work at school, the atmosphere was a bit strange. After Kirie Kura Yamada went to work, she told me that she would not be participating in today’s assembly and funeral, and then she left immediately, and the atmosphere of the class was also strange during the pre-class assembly.

Does it feel like something is buzzing? Everyone was glancing at Lisa Minamoto for some reason.

“Sakagami, she comes to the training preparation room before class starts. Because she has something to talk about with the papers.”

As she finished her morning meeting to find out what was going on, she called Rena Sakagami under the pretext of a paperwork issue. Since Kirie Kurayamada isn’t in her training room, she’s a little more comfortable with this. No matter how much her body overlaps with mine, she is Kirie Kurayamada, and she is a spy belonging to the Jin gang, so she doesn’t need to tell me that Rena Sakagami is a member of her group.

“Master, what’s going on? What do you mean by document?”

“Oh, the documents were an excuse, the class atmosphere was strange, so I called to ask what was going on.”

“Aha… ! That’s because of the SearchEye article I participated in. Tsubaki wrote an article saying that Minamoto was involved in the Daigo Educational Foundation’s succession dispute and posted it anonymously on the club website of Erika’s school.”

Ah, so everyone was glancing at Risa Minamoto. I don’t think Risa Minamoto would mind much. It doesn’t seem like there’s much power within the family like me, and there wouldn’t be much benefit to helping with this matter. Shigemune Minamoto, who is working on this project, can be said to be a competitor in a larger sense, so it would be better for Risa Minamoto not to help.

“I posted a link in the group line room yesterday, but I guess you didn’t see it. “I didn’t call because I didn’t think it was urgent.”

But why didn’t you report it to me? I thought that, but Rena Sakagami must have sensed it in my expression and said that she had posted it in her line room.

There was a line room where I gathered members who would help me even after graduation, including Rena Sakagami, Yuka Otagi, Alric, Diana Saionji, and Akina Konoe. I think I posted a link to the article there.

“Oh, sorry. “I guess I was talking about something else and moved on.”

Because it was a line room where people talked a lot, it seemed like the link posted by Rena Sakagami was quickly moved to the top and I couldn’t check it. When I checked the line, I was on a date with Risa Minamoto at that time, so I couldn’t look at my phone, so I skipped the content for a while.

“From now on, I will report to you personally. “I’m sorry.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. Still, it would be better to receive it personally.”

Because something like today could happen again, I decided to personally receive information reports from now on. Rena Sakagami will upload information that would be good for the children in the group room to know.

“All right. But is there anything we can do or respond to this?”

“It’s a fight within the Daigo family, so there’s no need for us to get involved. For now, let’s just keep an eye on how things progress.”

“I understand, my lord.”

Since we were outsiders watching, there wasn’t much we could do. All I could do was watch from the outside and help knowingly or unknowingly.

“Then I’ll just go take class.”

“Yes, study hard.”

Rena Sakagami nodded, bowed, and left the training preparation room. Not long after Rena Sakagami left, the bell rang for the start of first period.

After taking my mind off the Daigo family’s fight for a moment, I started organizing today’s schedule. As a homeroom teacher, the only thing I had to do today was some paperwork and the last period of Korean class.

Ah! Today was the last day of the long gift date. It’s a date with Akina Konoe, and Akina Konoe has been in a relationship with her for quite a long time, so it’ll be easier than other girls, right? I was curious what kind of gift Akina Konoe would want, but she still had over 6 hours left before the date started.

“Ugh~!!”

I finished thinking about the date and stretched out. I’m feeling a bit sore because I didn’t have sex yesterday, so I need to go to the nurse’s office where Kijimoto Jurie is for the first time in a while and get some nursing(?).
