Chapter 546 – Episode 59. Because He’s a Teacher.
“That… Seeing that he likes girls, is the sealed dragon male?”
When I heard that he only likes girls, I became curious and asked Naruse Koyou. Naruse Koyou looked dumbfounded at my question, but he still opened his mouth to answer my question.
“It’s a female. “He said he doesn’t like human males because they have a musty smell.”
Ah… Did you have a taste for food? Even though it is a dragon, it is a reptile, so it was strange that it had such a taste for humans.
“How did Siyoyang become a sacrifice and seal? “I don’t think you, my father, would have given permission.”
“That is… At first, the family pretended that they had adopted me selflessly. I didn’t even know that there was a shaman in Miyashi who helped seal the dragon. But when my daughter, Siyo, was born, and it was time for her to enter middle school, she sent me on a business trip. After that…”
Naruse Koyou was silent for a moment as if overcome with emotion. After listening to the story, he knew what would happen next.
“You made Siyoyang a sacrifice and a seal while you were on a business trip.”
“Yes, that was the first time he rebelled against his father, but now he has started threatening me, saying that if the seal is broken, Shiyo’s life will be in danger. He said that there are many girls in the Naruse family anyway, and that if I don’t help the family with their dirty work, he will unseal Shiyo.”
And… The Naruse family is also amazing. Instead, you threaten to break the seal? Your creativity is amazing. As a father, Koyou Naruse seemed to have chosen to extend the life of his daughter even a little, even if she was terminally ill, rather than to die immediately. I looked at Naruse Koyou with a dark expression and asked a question.
“So what do you want to do with city nursing?”
“That…”
Koyo Naruse cannot answer my question again. As a father, he wanted to prevent his daughter’s sacrifice, but he didn’t know what to do because the situation was not favorable.
In fact, I also didn’t know how to deal with seals or sacrifices. When I was upset, I thought about taking Shiyo Naruse with me, but I was worried that it would make the situation worse because Koyou Naruse was currently stabilizing the unstable seal in the Naruse family, so I decided to wait for the next time.
“I will think of a solution first, so please do not ignore my contact and accept it.”
“All right. “Please return safely.”
Before we knew it, we arrived at the main gate, Koyou Naruse, I and Rena Sakagami headed to where I had hidden the folding bike.
“What happened?”
Rena Sakagami didn’t say much while Naruse Koyou was together, so she asked about the situation after they broke up.
“Actually, the infiltration of the Naruse family was successful. I went to a place where some sort of spell was being performed on Siyo… Naruse Hirohide, the head of the Naruse family, was waiting for me there.”
After that, Rena Sakagami showed off all kinds of secret ninja techniques, and it is said that she ran away for almost four hours before being caught. It is said that because it took so long for her to run away, Hirohide Naruse, who had other things to do, quickly returned to his home.
It’s so amazing. Did you run away for four hours against the head of the Naruse family, who is quite powerful? There were dozens of summoned animals, so if they were hunted, they would be caught quickly, but Rena Sakagami’s escape skills seemed to have reached a considerable level. But Rena Sakagami seemed to feel ashamed that she had been caught.
“This incident made me feel inadequate. Even if the opponent is the head of the Naruse clan, he can only escape for 4 hours… Next time, I will try to run away for at least 6 hours.”
“No, next time, try running away completely. “Do you know how worried I was?”
“Were you worried, my lord?”
“Of course. That’s why I came all the way here to look for you.”
In fact, she came to the Narusega mansion to save Rena Sakagami rather than Shiyo Naruse. Of course, it’s not that I didn’t think about Shiyo Naruse at all, but Rena Sakagami, who had already come under my command, was more important to me.
“Still, you will help me, right?”
“Hmm… Let’s gather the kids first and then talk about it.”
In fact, since I was almost completely ignorant of witchcraft, I would have to listen to advice and think about my next steps. When I arrived at the place where I hid my bike, I put Rena Sakagami on her back and headed toward the school.
“I’ll call the kids while you drive.”
For your information, the kids Sakagami and I talked about were friendly students who had decided to work for me after graduation or knew my identity. These were Rena Sakagami, Alic, Yuka Otagi, Diana Saionji, as well as Konoka Urabe and Akina Konoe.
“I’ll wait in the clubroom.”
“Then we can go straight to school.”
Fortunately, there seemed to be no need to call the kids home again as everyone was still in the clubroom. We quickly arrived at the school and I said hello to the security guards at the school’s main gate.
“Thank you for your hard work~!”
“Yes, good luck, teacher.”
Even as I put the student on the back of the bike, the guards didn’t say anything to me. As expected, the oiling so far seems to have been successful. We dragged our bikes to the special class building and went up to the second floor.
“Sir! What happened?”
“Is it because of Siyo?”
“Ryuta, eat ice cream.”
When I entered the clubroom, there were students asking what was going on and Aleek with ice cream around his mouth trying to give me a bite.
I took a bite of the ice cream that Alrik gave me and sat down. Well, I guess I wasted a lot of energy after messing around at the Naruse residence, so I felt like a bite of ice cream was spreading all over my body.
“What’s going on…”
I told the students the secret story related to Shiyo Naruse. I thought everyone would be angry about the cruelty of the Naruse family, but most of them had an attitude of ‘Oh, that’s right.
“Sir, you are naive. If you’re a famous family, there’s bound to be one thing that stinks like that. Of course, I won’t overlook it because it involves our friend.”
Why am I still? As I looked at him with curious eyes, Yuka Otagi explained. But… Right now, the Otagi family is a vampire family that survives on non-human blood, so how many dirty things are hidden? Akina Konoe also had many incidents, including one where her uncle tried to kill her father and usurp her as head of the family.
“Hmm… Urabe and I can take care of this kind of magical work.”
After Yuka Otagi heard my story, she recommended herself and Konoka Urabe for seal-related work. Otagi Yuka had excellent insight into blood magic using her blood, and Urabe Konoka was her Abyss Daughter’s shrine maiden, so it would be helpful if they put their heads together.
“I will help too.”
Rena Sakagami raised her hand. When she thought about it, Rena Sakagami knew how to use blunt arts and genjutsu, so she had considerable knowledge.
“Saving Shiyo is important, but the reason we intervene is important. Of course, you can hide it if you hide it, but if you are unlucky, you might get caught.”
These were Akina Konoe’s words. Well, it was clear that if even one person’s identity was revealed during the intense battle, something quite embarrassing would happen. Since they were all daughters from famous families, a fight could have occurred between the famous families. In particular, Akina Konoe is the head of the Konoe family, so if her identity is discovered, it will be a huge problem.
“Isn’t that a simple thing? “You can just say that your father borrowed our power to fight the succession war.”
Saionji Diana spoke as if it was a simple matter. The idea was to reduce this to a power struggle within the family rather than an external affair, which made quite a bit of sense. But those words were like telling Naruse Koyou to betray his family.
“Do you want to listen?”
“Your daughter’s life is at stake, so if you don’t help us, we can’t help it. “No matter how much a friend you have, there is a limit to how much you can help.”
Yuka Otagi spoke in a slightly sarcastic tone at my words. The target of Otagi Yuka’s sarcasm was not me, but Naruse Koyou, Naruse Shiyo’s father. No matter how much he was threatened, it was true that he seemed a bit pathetic because he was following the wishes of people who could be called his enemies.
“Okay. “I decided to ask Naruse Koyou about that, what exactly should I do?”
“First, it is important to unseal Siyo, but it is also important to eliminate the next head of the family. Isn’t it okay if there is only one man left to pass on the family name to, Siyo’s father? “If only Dad is left, the head of the Naruse family will have no choice but to cry and admit to eating mustard, right?”
Akina Konoe’s words were plausible, but for some reason I didn’t think things would go as she said. From what I heard earlier, in an onmyoji family like the Naruse family, the head of the family was ultimately the essence of the family. Since it was the head of the family who had many powerful food spirits, it was also the head of the family who controlled most of the family’s power. If the head of the family was displeased with Koyou Naruse, who staged the coup, there was a possibility that he would adopt someone from a collateral line rather than Koyou Naruse and hand over the next head of the family.
“There is a high probability that that method will not work. In the end, we will probably end up in a situation where we have no choice but to compete with the head of the Naruse clan.”
“Then…”
After hearing what I said, Akina Konoe suggested another method. Perhaps because he is the head of the Konoe family, he is very good at family matters. Of course, all of these plans were planned to proceed only when Naruse Koyo decided to carry out a coup.
Yuka Otagi, Konoka Urabe, and Rena Sakagami were still putting their heads together and thinking about how to safely break the seal. It seems like it would be easy to just release it, but it was a dangerous task for Naruse Shiyo, as the Naruse family threatened to release the seal on Naruse Koyou.
