The next day.
Summer Flower Painting woke up from her bed as usual.
From this moment on, she was no longer the lord of Xiahuo Mountain, but the second young lady of the Xia Ri Zaibatsu (Summer Financial Group).
Chikuri Makoto helped her change clothes and style her hair.
This morning's lesson was Kendo.
So, wearing a white top and black bottom kendo uniform with a fitted waist, her delicate features and willow-leaf eyebrows exuded a dashing and extraordinary aura.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, Natsumi Hanae began to ask Chikari Manatsumi about Natsumi Akisuke.
"Shin, how's Natsumi Yosuke's situation?"
Upon hearing this, Senju was already impatient.
That was the only thing she got a perfect score on last night; everything else was just passing, and she was punished with several times the amount of training.
She immediately blurted out, eager to receive praise from Summer Flower Painting.
"mom……"
"Second Miss, Natsumi Ike has agreed to help us, and he's taking a 'we'-oriented' approach."
Hearing Chikari's words, Natsumi Hanae nodded, which was only natural.
Given the current situation of the Natsumi Zaibatsu, Natsumi Yosuke, who is already capable and talented, will never give up any power he can seize.
In his view, no matter what the cost, if the present is lost, what future is there to speak of?
However, with what he has now, he can easily handle even an A-level opponent with his own skills.
In terms of personality, Natsumi Akisuke is somewhat arrogant.
Of course, this arrogance is not a flaw of the other party, and sometimes it is even a strength.
The opponent's truly fatal weakness is another one.
Summer Flower pursed her cherry lips slightly and continued speaking.
"When you revealed Chikari Makoto's identity, what was Natsumi Yosuke's expression or action?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Shou was filled with doubt.
She didn't understand what was so important about this. Of course, the other person was fooled by her act... and was so shocked by her that their scalp tingled. Did she have to report this to her mother?
Isn't that a bit too embarrassing?
"Natsuki Akisuke was truly breathtaking."
However, this was clearly not what Natsumi Hanae wanted to hear. She frowned slightly and spoke again.
"Any more?"
Chikari didn't understand what her mother wanted her to say, but fortunately her eyesight and memory were quite good, so she described what Natsumi Yosuke did next.
"He thought for a while, then for some reason glanced at Mikami Taku, took a half-step away from him, and then..."
"enough."
Summer Flower's deep red eyes shone like glass, and her cherry lips curved into a pleasant smile.
Without these actions, dealing with Natsumi Akisuke would have been a little troublesome, but now he's like a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.
This is Natsumi Akisuke's fatal flaw: he is inherently suspicious.
Besides obtaining the rules, releasing the signal, and winning over Kuchiki Mei, learning that this matter also carries significant weight in Natsumi Hanae's heart.
As for meeting Nian Ma Dahui last night, she didn't take it to heart at all.
The lineage of Nianma is destined to perish.
Abandoning the lineage is actually where the true vitality of the Nianma lineage lies.
Unfortunately, the two now have irreconcilable conflicts.
In that case, the best option is to concentrate the abandoned veins and let them devour the Nianma lineage.
Mei Kuchiki is the best candidate.
However, judging from her reaction last night, Mei doesn't seem to know her identity as the second young lady of summer.
This is understandable, since the two never had a chance to meet.
Once everything is ready.
Summer Flower stepped out of her room, ready to embrace her life as a caged bird, just like always.
This morning's lessons were Kendo and Go. Although it was a bit boring day after day, she was used to it and could tolerate it.
This is a good opportunity to try out the umbrella sword techniques.
As a result, as soon as I stepped outside...
Summer Flower, however, saw in the distance that the number of butlers in the main residence, which was usually less than five a day, was now emerging one after another from the west gate and walking towards the center of the main residence.
If the west gate is like this, then the other gates should be the same.
This means that most of the housekeepers have likely returned to the main residence today.
Then, Natsumi Hanae saw Natsumi Rinri, dressed in a red dress, an orange shirt, a black skirt, and black stockings, storming in through the door.
Behind Natsumi Rinrei, two butlers in black uniforms followed on either side.
Clearly, Natsumi Rinrei was brought back this time.
The moment their eyes met, Natsumi Hanae's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly before furrowing again.
Then, they walked over here.
Before we even got too close, we heard that clear voice.
"What bad luck!"
"If I run into you first thing in the morning, or someone who looks exactly like me, I'll have bad luck all day!"
Natsumi Rinrei stood in front of Natsumi Hanae with his arms crossed, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
The butler stayed close behind, afraid that the person in front of him might run away if he wasn't careful.
Upon hearing this, Summer Flower Painting didn't seem to care.
She had long since seen through Xia Rilinli's true nature.
Summer flowers painted a delicate and impeccable smile on her lips.
"Where did you hear this new rumor, sister? It's like what you said before about not stepping into the bathroom with your left foot first in the middle of the night."
"But, elder sister."
"Doesn't everything we experience after we are born represent misfortune?"
Her eyes were slightly dim, and even her faint smile seemed to have turned melancholy.
Upon seeing this, Natsumi Rinrei suddenly felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat, rendering him speechless.
As expected, Kujo Asano's arrival and the approaching wedding date inevitably had an impact on the younger sister's heart.
Indeed, although my younger sister has always been virtuous and obedient, she is still a young girl in the prime of her life who is not strong enough to even kill a chicken. How could she possibly want to marry a decrepit old man?
For example, even if she resisted desperately, as soon as her family needed to recall her, they would find her hiding in an instant, and she didn't know how they did it.
Her karmic fire clearly possessed the ability to burn away any trace of itself.
However, she will not give up.
If you completely surrender to fate, then you have truly lost all hope.
She will do everything in her power to reach Rank A and gain the power to rebel against her family. The crimson vertical pupils that shook the world last night with their divine might are the power she yearns for and pursues.
Behind Natsumi Hanae, Chikari Makoto saw Natsumi Rinrei's expression, then looked at Natsumi Hanae and gently rubbed his cherry lips with his index finger.
I couldn't help but shudder.
That was a subconscious action of Mom when she felt amused and happy. What a wicked mom, teasing her own sister.
Just as it was about time, Natsumi Hanae felt she should head to the kendo room, but she didn't see Chikuriya Tsukasa standing at her door that morning.
Tsukasa Chikuriya ran over from a distance, and in a flash, he quickly arrived in front of Natsuhikae.
"Second Miss, Eldest Miss, greetings."
"The head of the family has summoned all the stewards and direct descendants, and invited you to the center of the ancestral home for a meeting."
"About last night's scarlet vertical pupils."

Chapter 34: Tsukasa Chikuriya's Special Case
Chikuriya Tsukasa subconsciously placed the title of "Second Miss" before "Eldest Miss".
This is against the rules of summer house.
