The Youngest Son of a Japanese Conglomerate. 542

Chapter 542 – Episode 59. Because He’s a Teacher.

“Ah, Mr. Yamashiro.”

On my way to the nurse’s office, I ran into Masato Otawa, the teacher of Monday’s first period history class. It was a bit funny how he pretended to know me with a rotten expression. If we run into each other in the hallway like this, we have no choice but to say hello, but don’t we really hate it?

It is said that he used to be mean to Kijimoto Juri, but then he got into Ishidera Kosuke’s line and went to the academy with a lot of force and abuse. It is said that she even asked Juri Kijimoto out on a date, but it didn’t last for a few days.

This is because after the temporary academy director Kosuke Ishidera disappeared, things became quiet as if something had happened. It was probably because I knew what ‘disappearance’ meant. I heard from Daigo Terue that among the teachers who took the Ishidera Kosuke line, the one who received the most complaints was Masato Otawa.

It is said that she used to secretly criticize not only Juri Kijimoto but also her other teachers and students. I heard that Daigo Terue will be retired at the end of this semester due to a large-scale purge upon his return. The bottom line is that there are only a few months left before we can even see this man’s face.

“Good morning, Mr. Ottawa.”

I said hello with a bright smile and entered the nurse’s office. I heard the sound of teeth grinding as Ota and Masato passed me, but it was none of my business. There was no need to worry about someone who would soon be fired. Of course, if we met in an obscure place, I was willing to make him disappear at any time.

“Huh? Mr. Yamashiro, what’s going on?”

Jurie Kijimoto seemed to be at work as she was sitting in her seat and she was writing something. She stayed with me until dawn and then came to see me again? He was looking at me with an expression that made me think, so I shook my head as if it wasn’t me.

“It’s not what Mr. Kijimoto thinks, but I have something to ask you about Shiyo Naruse.”

“Oh, poetry?”

At my words, Kijimoto Jurie showed a mixture of conflicting emotions, such as relief or regret. Actually, it might be a pity because doing it in the nurse’s office has its own unique taste. The thrill of being caught by students gives another pleasure.

“The kids said they couldn’t contact me over the weekend and didn’t come to school today either. This is my first time being sick for 3 days in a row. Still, they contacted me when I couldn’t come to school, but today they didn’t contact me. “I was wondering if you had contacted Mr. Kijimoto.”

“Oh, you used to contact me too, but you haven’t contacted me today? I’ve never been sick for 3 days in a row… “I’m worried.”

No matter how unwell I am, I know that I don’t have any special chronic illness, but to be sick like this for three days in a row, I felt like I was really sick.

“I’ll try calling home.”

I said something to reassure Kijimoto Jurie, who was worried, and left the nurse’s office. I went straight to the training preparation room and looked for the phone number of Shiyo Naruse’s parents. Furthermore, I don’t have her mom’s phone number, only her dad’s.

I called Naruse Shiyo’s father, Naruse Koyou. But the signal kept coming, and I didn’t answer the phone.

This time, I contacted Shiyo Naruse on the phone at the house where she lived. As expected, only a beep was heard and no one answered.

Hmm… Is this a bit dangerous? Her sick daughter is not answering her phone, her father is not answering the phone, nor is anyone at her house answering the phone. Even if the sick Naruse Shiyo or Naruse Shiyo’s father couldn’t receive it, there were servants in the house. It was impossible not to answer the phone. Even if I said I couldn’t answer, I should have received a callback right away, but my phone was silent.

I took out the file for each student that the Tyra Group investigation team had hidden in a corner of the folder.

Actually, I read it once at the beginning of the semester, but I couldn’t remember much of the content because I was only paying attention to my target, Risa Minamoto, and a few others, and was organizing my Korean language class.

 
Shiyo Naruse: Daughter of Kyouyou Naruse, the second son of the Naruse family. She is naturally weak and misses school often.

Since this much was written about Shiyo Naruse, it was natural that she could not remember the details. Next, there was something about Kyouyou Naruse and the Naruse family, and I guess I just skipped it or read it roughly, but there was quite a bit of new content.

When I read the information, I found that Naruse Shiyo’s father, Naruse Kyoyou, was originally a collateral descendant of the Naruse family and was adopted by Naruse Hirohide, the head of the Naruse family, and became the second son. Hmm… It’s suspicious.

“It’s definitely suspicious.”

When I heard a voice, I saw that Rena Sakagami was looking at the Naruse family’s materials with me. How did it come out while I was in class?

“How did you get out?”

“I put a magic spell on my place. “Akina Konoe and Yuka Otagi will be recognized, but the rest will think it’s me.”

Oh, he said he was learning genjutsu in Jogja back then, and it seemed like he was making some progress. Even if his future is determined to be in my intelligence team, is he still allowed to roam around like this? Aren’t you very proud to tell the teacher that you missed class?

“My lord seemed to be troubled by something, so I came out to see him. Is it because of Siyo?”

“Yes, I was worried at first because I didn’t hear from you for three days, but when I called you, you didn’t answer. So, I was looking at the data to see what the problem was…”

“You mean things are starting to look a little suspicious?”

“Yes.”

First, what was suspicious from the beginning was that the famous Naruse family was almost neglecting Shiyo Naruse’s treatment. No matter how many years she graduated and went into surgery, her students had a vacation. I kept thinking that it would be right to have surgery sooner than to ignore the pain for several years.

“And even though I have a son, it’s a shame that I adopted a male collateral.”

“Yes.”

Why adopt another son when you have a son to carry on the family line? It didn’t make sense. If there was a son, there were quite a few cases of adopting a daughter who could be sold to another family in the name of marriage, but there were almost no cases of adopting a son.

Of course, Hirohide Naruse may have just been a good person, or she may have adopted him because she just wanted to have another son, but she wondered if the head of a famous family would really do that. In addition, other senior members of the family would have been opposed to raising a second son because it could only cause conflict in the succession issue. If that were the case, it could not help but be suspicious that even the senior members of the family were not opposed to adopting Kyoyou Naruse.

There was one more page of information about the Naruse family, so I skipped to the next page. Rena Sakagami was also looking at the data carefully as if she was curious.

I remembered seeing the material for the second chapter before.  It was written about the history of the Narusega family, and it was written that they had amassed considerable wealth as a trading family trading with the West in modern times from the Onmyoji family of the Heian period. He said he is currently running a trading company and that it is a well-known company in the related field.

“Hmm, Yin-Yang Sara…”

“Is it related?”

I shook my head as if I didn’t understand what Rena Sakagami said. Since it was said to be an Onmyoji family from a long time ago, it was more likely that it had nothing to do with the present.

“I guess it’s just because Shiyo’s father is an adopted child from a collateral line that he’s not providing treatment?”

“That is most likely.”

Well, this was something I couldn’t do anything about. It was different from the case of Saionji Diana, whom I helped. Saionji Diana was completely abandoned by the Saionji family, who only provided her school fees and a home, and she was treated like an outcast to the extent that she only had 20,000 yen a month in pocket money, including her living expenses. So, they didn’t care whether I treated them or not, but Naruse Shiyo was still giving the family the least amount of attention, so me interfering would be meddling in other families’ affairs.

“Sakagami, I need you to find out. Please find out what the Naruse family is doing with Shiyo Naruse and what her treatment will be like in the future.”

“Right now?”

For some reason, it was Rena Sakagami who seemed very excited when I asked her to recognize me. Is it because she doesn’t have to go to class? What I meant was to ask you to research after class…

“I’ll write you an early departure card.”

You can’t break the pain of labor while being so excited. I decided to just write an early departure card. Rena Sakagami seemed to have much more fun research than her classes. Soon she rang the bell and Rena Sakagami waited for the history teacher Masato Otawa, who was the first period class teacher, to pass by and then walked back to the classroom with light steps to pack her things.

Since I couldn’t sit still while I was at school, I called Kocho Kikuhito, the 8th secretary of Danzo Taira, who was in charge of St. Francis Girls’ Academy.

 -Master, what’s going on?

“I would like to request a higher level of information about the Naruse family.”

 -… All right. We will organize the information and send it to you by email within 15 minutes.

I didn’t think I would be rejected because it wasn’t about money or military strength, and I easily granted information requests from other families. As I hung up the phone and waited, Rena Sakagami, who had packed her luggage, stuck out her face and greeted me.

“I’ll go, my lord. “I will contact you as soon as I get new information.”

“Yes, I will let you know when I get new information.”

“Yes~”

Rena Sakagami slightly bowed her head to me and closed the door. After waiting a bit, advanced information on the Naruse family, newly organized by the Taira Intelligence Team and with a higher security level, arrived by email.

The eye color is different (Harlequin has blue eyes haha), but the hair color is also similar, so I didn’t make it on the cover because I thought this would cause copyright problems haha
