"It's just a pretense of marriage. It is impossible for the Zenyuan family to marry an ordinary woman who is not from a family or a magician." Faced with the basic opposition from the clansmen, the old god who is directly next to the Zenyuan is there: "We need the woman behind that woman." Financial resources, the other party needs political allies, it’s as simple as that. That organization controls more than half of the shipping throughput in the Kanto region. In addition to money, it can also provide ore and some materials, including items related to overseas curses, which can be shipped in by them bypassing the director. domestic."

"But after all, that is just a young woman with no strength to restrain a chicken. It is an unbearable humiliation to allow her to step into the house of the Buddhist monastery, and she actually enters into a marriage contract... This is for fear of embarrassing the ancestors. People, adults, think twice."

The family elders looked ashen as if they saw their ancestors sitting up from the coffin and yelling curses.

"Anyone who is not a Chanyuan is not a magician, and whoever is not a magician is not a human being." According to the consistent belief of the Zenyuan family, this is equivalent to marrying a cat to one's own son for money, which is hard to accept.

The people directly adjacent to the Chanyuan wanted to smash the tea bowl.

All of you are just sitting back and pointing the country, and you have no idea how much it costs to support such a big family every month.That's right, the income of conjurers should not be underestimated, and the most lucrative ones are worth hundreds of millions.But that is limited to the level above the first level, and there are only a handful of people who can stand at the top no matter where they are.

There are more ordinary clansmen with mediocre skills or limited spell power. They are sent out to do missions but barely make ends meet, and if they are not careful, they will fill in their lives.In case of such a situation, the clan will have to help one or two. After all, there have been signs of bad luck in recent years.

An old and conservative family like a Buddhist monastery only encourages births, pinning their hopes on the talents of newborns like krypton gold. As for the effects... I don’t know when the ten shadow spells will appear. Say two or three children, don't they need to eat and train?

After worrying about the expenditure and then looking back at the income, it is true that the religious property does not need to pay taxes, but there are only a lot of people who covet this part of the cake.Leaving aside other families for the time being, only within the scope of the three imperial families of mantras, the Zen Academy does not have any special strength to eat alone.

Especially after the birth of the Six Eyes of the Gojo family, both Zenyuan and Kamo suffered blows to varying degrees.

It's not so easy to live in the same trough with others.

Beliefs are becoming more and more complicated, income is divided more and more fragmented, and conjurers from ordinary backgrounds emerge in endlessly... All these add up, and the reality forces the patriarch of the monastery to consider the olive branch from the local tyrants.

Well, in the eyes of Zhipi people, any family that has not been passed down for more than ten generations is a land turtle, and the mud spots on the calves have not been cleaned.

It's a pity that there is no way. Others have no history or culture, but they are rich.

Besides, the cooperation proposed by Mori Ogai is not an embarrassment for the Chanyuan family-it is just to put pressure on the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which cannot be easier.Just helping them obtain a certificate similar to that of a conjurer can obtain a large amount of financial assistance, no matter what, they are taking advantage of themselves.

The so-called marriage is only an insurance method commonly used in family cooperation.

It's nothing more than Sen's Shipping Club worried that the Chanyuan would take the money and not do anything, so they simply sent their daughter to disgusting people. If the other party really skipped the ticket, the marriage contract might become real.The monastery was also worried that Mr. Sen would not pay after he got what he wanted, so he simply detained his only daughter under house arrest, and threatened her with the girl if he tried to evade debts.Even though Mori Ogai didn't care about his daughter's life and death, he didn't dare to cheat when he thought of what the conjurer could do based on the blood.

The best situation is that both parties keep their promises, and the marriage contract will be dissolved after two years, but the Zen Academy does not refuse to develop a "delivery brother" who runs errands and delivers goods in the secular world.

The son-in-law of the Chanyuan family is only 13 years old this year, but Mori Ogai's daughter is already [-] years old. Anyone who looks at it will know that this is a stopgap measure until they get out of trouble... A woman who can't even see the curse spirit In the end, let her disappear without a sound, which is an explanation to the ancestors and the clansmen.

With the most abundant patience in this life, he broke the truth into pieces and told the ashen-faced clansmen. In the end, the Zhipi people of the Zen Academy were so dry and impatient, they punched the little table in front of them: "Zaozai!" He is my own son and the most likely next Patriarch, so this sacrifice should be made by him."

"Do you want me to cherish my child and disregard the thoughts of other clansmen? Or is there anyone among you who is willing to let your son make this marriage contract with Sen's daughter?"

If this matter is on his own head, no one in the Chanyuan family, not even the watchdog outside, would be willing. After thinking about it, it really is best for the patriarch to take responsibility.

Seeing all the clansmen lower their heads and remain silent, Zhibi of the Chanyuan stopped the teacup heavily: "Forget it, I'll go and explain to him, what else do you guys want to say?"

Immediately, someone with an active mind raised his head and remonstrated: "That daughter of the Mori family, even if she is allowed to make a marriage contract with Master Naozai, we will absolutely not tolerate her entering the family. Why don't we set up another courtyard outside and lock it in and call it a house?" People like to teach, so as not to lose the face of my monastery when necessary."

"Well, it's a way, what else?"

This is the real use of the elders of the family. He is not feeding his son to entertain his son. Since such an important matter has been raised, there must be no other better solution.

"How much financial assistance can the Mori family provide? Can it help the Buddhist monastery compete with Wujo in terms of industry?"

When it comes to money, there is a growing interest in not having to pay a real price.The Zhipi people of the Chanyuan did not give specific figures, but just told the tribe members that the 16-year-old girl's monthly pocket money alone was already higher than that of the patriarch, and the room suddenly fell into a dead silence.

After about five or six minutes, someone sighed with heavy emotion: "Hey! It's really a downturn in the world, and people's hearts are not old! Such a doting, presumably the daughter of the Mori family is not a kind-hearted and kind-hearted person. It is really embarrassing for Master Naozai."

"Submitting to the overall interests of the family is what he should do as a legitimate son."

There is no young man in the new generation who can surpass Zenyuan Naoya in terms of talent. It is absolutely impossible to say that he does not want to pave the way for his youngest son.The Zhipi people of the Chanyuan responded and shifted the topic to the next one: "The Mori family will send their daughter to Kyoto in half a month. Can you think of another courtyard that is more suitable for her?"

The members of the Zenyuan family sitting opposite him did not expect that the patriarch was just making an announcement this time, and had no intention of discussing with everyone at all, so they didn't react for a while.After finally realizing the resoluteness of the neighbors of the Chanyuan, they resolutely chose to obey: "It is not appropriate to be too far or too close to our home."

Too far away is inconvenient to control, too close and afraid of the door being dirty, it is very tangled.

"It's better to use the courtyard on the Lanshan side. Although no one has lived there for a long time, half a month is enough to clean it up, and then send a few people to look over it. An ordinary woman who is not a magician, don't let it out to embarrass her face. So as not to let the other two families see the jokes of our monastery."

The person who spoke was the brother of Zenyuan Zhibiren, the second-hand Chanyuan fan in the family.He made this suggestion only because the other courtyard in Lanshan is the private property of the patriarch, and here he intentionally has a strange and disgusting vibe.

"Oh...it's not impossible, why don't you let your twin daughters watch the Sen's daughter, anyway, they can't see the curse spirit."

In terms of yin and yang strangeness, the people of Kyoto can be said to have unparalleled talents.

The twin daughters of Zenyuan Fan are only six years old this year. One of them can't see the magic spirit at all, and the other seems to have magic formulas, but the magic power is weak.The two children basically belong to the existence of borderline transparent people, and only at this time will the uncle think of it and use it to attack the father.

"you!"

Zenyuan Fan slapped the tatami beside him hard, squinted his eyes and said viciously: "There are many curses that have been handed down over the years at the foot of Lanshan, those two little wastes don't matter, don't scare the gold you borrowed from others to death." baby."

"It doesn't matter. We only need Sen's money in our monastery. Sen's daughter is not important at all. She is just a breathless contract. Whether it is life or death, as long as she occupies the name of the fiancee of my son-in-law in the monastery, Presumably her father will not have any objections." So the Zhipi people of the Zen Yuan put an end to the whole conversation: "That's how it is, let people go to tidy up the courtyard in Lanshan, and repair everything that needs to be repaired. It's embarrassing. An ordinary woman, our family hasn't lost that much!"

After finishing the ideological work of the clansmen, he had to go to the inner house to tell his youngest son about it.Even for my wife, I have to explain a few words in a low voice.

Sigh... How else can I say being a family member is the most difficult thing?People who don't sit in this position will only be envious of his power and prestige, and they don't know the hard work inside.

Here in Yokohama, Mori Ogai is also on a video call with his daughter: "Is the matter in Russia still unresolved?"

In front of the camera, Yuki Mori had two big dark circles on his face, because he was short of sleep for several days and his temper was on fire. When he heard the urging of cheap father, he complained angrily: "How to solve it? You can tell me How to solve it?"

"Until it gets dark, you can still hear wolves howling outside. All the local workers want to resign and go home to hide. Please! We are shipping, and no one is unloading at the dock. You have to park all the ships in the port and queue up to play and count." !"

Rimbaud and Verlaine are still chasing and killing Gide in the hinterland of the European continent. Temporarily dispatching Rimbaud to turn around also gives people time to complete the physical displacement, doesn't it?As soon as she left, the hearts of the people in the Russian branch would be scattered into a pool of sand, and it would be difficult to reunite even after the incident ended.

Mori Yuki changed his tone: "In short, you delay the time to go to Kyoto until the end of this month, and then give me a cadre position. Mr. Lantang has been an associate cadre for so many years, and he should also have a status It is justifiable that there is a cadre here in the branch. Anyway, he does not take the initiative to approach Zhongya Chuya himself, and he stays in Russia all year round, so it will not affect your layout in Yokohama."

"...Lantang-kun, how is his memory recovery?" Faced with his daughter's anger, Mori Ogai seemed unconscious: "He has stood so far away for several years and created countless profits for our PortMafia. Deserving of a cadre position."

"In the middle of this month, you have to come back from Russia, my dear, let this short-term business be handed over early, I really don't want to see the funny faces of those idiots anymore."

To make Mori Ogai complain so much, it can be seen that the Chanyuan family is definitely the best of the best.

Mori Yuki couldn't help but want to gloat and hurt him, but when she thought that she would be the one who had to face these things in the next two years, she lost all interest: "Understood, I will try my best, at least stabilize myself first." The stevedores and truck drivers who want to resign. In the face of life-threatening, the power of money is very limited, and there is no way."

"I'm waiting for your good news in Yokohama."

Mori Ogai cut off the call, and leaned back on the chair to think——Sakaguchi Ango seemed to have noticed something, and temporarily applied for protection from the Supernatural Secret Service Division.It's a pity that in a place like the Ministry of the Interior, the content of mediocrity is far higher than that of excellence. In the end, the exclusive intelligence officer still had to pack up and travel to Europe.

Recently, he sent back news that someone refreshed the bounty amount for MIMIC in the black market in Europe. For a while, various bounty hunters launched a sweep against the gray ghosts. Those gray robes may not be able to last for too long.

Isn't it better?If the Chanyuan family is not useful, the introduction of MIMIC into the country earlier can be regarded as a timely supplement.It just so happened that Osamu Dazai would not come back from the United States for the past year, and Yuki was also forced into the Zen Monastery to stare at a group of idiots, and the final variable was successfully eliminated.

As for Rimbaud's cadre seat... don't the inaugural cadres have to go back to Yokohama to declare their allegiance to the leader?At that time, give the military and police a message in advance, and it will be over.

In mid-April, PortMafia first added two cadres at one go, and then the eldest lady flew back to the island country from Russia overnight.After landing, there was no rush for jet lag, so I hurried to take people to the capital to meet the target to be slaughtered.

"Got it, I got it, the woman from Sen's Shipping Club arrived in Kyoto today." The servant reminded him over and over again, and the young man threw away the towel and walked out of the dojo. He was about to step out of the verandah. He stopped and ordered: "Take these two Pack up the trash and bring it with you, since father arranged for them to look at that woman, let them go, trash should stay with trash."

When his figure disappeared around the corner, the servant immediately straightened his back and shouted at the twin girls who were snuggling together: "Hey, you two, do you hear me? Hurry up!"

"Sister, are we going to be kicked out of the Chanyuan house? I'm afraid!"

The younger Zhenyi clung to her sister's back, and the older Zhenxi endured the pain and hugged her younger sister: "Don't be afraid, no matter where you go, I will be with you."

"What are you talking about, hurry up! Do you want to make everyone wait for the two of you brazenly!" The servant stepped forward impatiently, picked up a girl with one hand, and took them to the side room to sort and change their clothes.

No one thinks that it is a problem for a six-year-old girl to be beaten all over by a 13-year-old boy. In this ancient family that has already decayed from the inside, innate talent and strength are everything that determines status.This weird custom has developed to the point of being unreasonable, even if the times have changed, there has been no change.

The side hall of the main house.

Although Lanshan Bieyuan will serve as the future cage of the fiancée, the first visit of the fiancée has to be arranged in the main house of the main family of the Buddhist monastery—the patriarch can’t condescend to go to the Bieyuan just to meet an ordinary woman, then Isn't it more embarrassing?

The lesser of two evils, in order to minimize the degree of pollution in their own homes, the clan elders forced the clan leader to think of a way.That is to let the guests come in from the side corridor and stay in the side hall directly, and send them away as soon as they see each other. Don't let her step on the floor tiles of the main house!

For this reason, many corridors where you can enjoy the scenery in the courtyard are deliberately covered with cloth, for fear that outsiders will see some beautiful scenery and wander around, and can also artificially create visual blind spots, so that guests must mistakenly think that they have got Courteous hospitality.

On the morning of April [-]th, a group of black cars parked outside the gate of the main house of the Chanyuan family, which "stands for a thousand years without falling down".Let's not talk about how much financial assistance the eldest lady of Sen's Shipping Club can bring. Just looking at these stocky and square models and the shiny golden little man logo on the front of the car, everyone has a deep understanding of the financial resources of this shipping club.

An old man with white beard and hair got out of the leading car first, and when he opened the door of the back seat of the car, the one who stepped out was not the soft and weak woman that everyone imagined, but a woman in a black suit with picturesque features. ...Um...boy?

"Yo! Good day, everyone."

The slightly pale "young man" opened his mouth, and listened directly to the Zenyuan clansman who was standing at the door and waiting to lead the way.

This is obviously a girl, how dare she wear men's clothes so deviantly? !

"I'm really sorry. I just came back from Russia, and I didn't have time to change my clothes. I'm sorry, and I don't mean to offend."

She said sorry on her mouth, but she couldn't see the shadow of "sorry" at all in her actions.

The members of the Chanyuan tribe managed to find their voices, hummed a few times, and ran in quickly to report the bad news.

"Miss Sen...?"

The clan elder who was in charge of receiving foreign guests was quickly invited out, and when he looked up at Mori Yuki's attire, he almost had a heart attack—a woman who was not honest and walked in a skirt with her head bowed, what did she look like in a suit and leather shoes? And a tie!How did the boss of Sen's Shipping Company educate his daughter?

"Morning, can I go in and see Mr. Zhibiren of the Zen Academy? Time is a little tight, and there will be a video conference to be hosted later, so you can't let me sit at the gate of your mansion to host the meeting?"

The girl took off her western-style top hat and laughed heartily, Guangjin Liulang standing behind her covered her face: "Miss..."

The hat and suit were stolen from Rimbaud by Yuki Mori, and the fact that Zhongyuanzhong also had gifts but she didn't have them was talked about by the eldest lady for too long.She read it until Rimbaud was slow enough to understand what it meant, and finally had to smile helplessly and bought a hat and clothes for her to calm down the resentment.

The girl who got the gift was very happy, and directly erased Mr. Zhongyuan's memory from her mind, treating it as a treatment only for herself.

Is there something abnormal about this woman?

Barely resisting the first wave of damage, the clan elder gritted his teeth and moved his steps: "Please!"

She is really tall, as bright as the bright moon, as tall and straight as a pine, and there is nothing to criticize in her demeanor and demeanor in her actions... Except that she is not as expected as she should be, she is very good in every way.If she was really a teenager, I'm afraid he would have to praise her for being suave and unrestrained. Even if she is an ordinary person, she can be regarded as a rare special color among ordinary people.

It's just... It seems that there is an illusion that my young master Naoya is "compared with", weird!

The guest walked very fast, and she, who was not restricted by the narrow skirt, strode into the threshold of the monastery house, followed by more than fifty burly men in black clothes, black pants and black sunglasses.

This aura is not at all like getting engaged to someone, it's more like coming to smash the scene and rob.

As soon as he walked into the corridor of the Chanyuan house, Guangjin Liulang frowned.With a not-low background, he immediately realized that this was not the direction to go to the main hall, and the islanders did not have the habit of "drying fabrics" in their courtyards.Combined with what the leader explained, the old man quickly touched his chest with one hand and bent down: "Miss, if the Chanyuan family doesn't welcome you, it's not like our Sen's Shipping Club has other options. There are many surnames belonging to the same ancient family. You can choose whatever you want."

"Oh?"

The girl smiled and showed a joking expression: "Well, I was wondering if I could just spend tens of billions to buy the next Prime Minister directly. That would save trouble."

"You are really joking, money is not used in this way. Tens of billions are enough to buy the son of this prime minister to be a good man, and you will definitely not be placed in the side hall."

Guangjin Liulang's cadenced tone was soothing, and he was not in a hurry.

It seems that the eldest lady has long been prepared in her heart and is very stable.

The elders of the Buddhist monastery: "..."

The two of you sang in unison, think I don't understand, right?

He is also an old man who has experienced many storms. He straightened his neck and nodded slightly: "I'm sorry. The main hall of the Zenyuan family's main house is an ancient building, and it is currently being repaired. It may be neglected to entertain distinguished guests."

"Are you so poor that you have to close and maintain it? It's beyond my expectation!" The girl hesitated for a moment with her chin propped, and finally sighed: "Forget it, since I came here from Russia a long way away, I have to first Say hello to the master and talk about the rest."

When she said this, it was equivalent to admitting that the other party "had to" use the side hall as the main hall, but it also downplayed the position that the two families were about to enter into a marriage contract. The eldest lady will really go back as it is under the name of "it's just a visit".

Sure enough, it is a remote rural place like Tokyo, and even the people are not particular about it.

I don't know whether to say whether she is being rude or keeping the etiquette. I was choked half to death and half breathed. The elder of the Chancellor didn't want to say a word to the guests from Yokohama.

The group continued to walk forward, and when they came to the side hall door, a teenager wearing a gray formal suit with black hakama pants and a silver coat jumped out and blocked their way.Mori Yuki lowered his head and raised his eyebrows... The little piggy in front of him, who was half a head shorter than himself, was probably the target of his future attacks.

"Hello?"

The witch showed a smile intending to eat the child, and the boy raised the corners of his delicate eyes unconsciously: "What the hell are you? Have you ever learned the rules?"

"Ahem, Master Naozai, this is...Miss Mori." The elder has never thought this little thing so cute, no matter how smelly his mouth is usually, at least this time he is targeting outsiders.There is no need to pay attention to being rude when these two are put together. The girl from Sen's Shipping is not much better.

Zenyuan Naoya had no idea that this young man who was half a head taller than himself was the temporary "fiancée" he had agreed upon. He looked up for a while, and then flew into a rage: "You open your mouth before the man speaks, and you walk like a man when you walk. Ahead, are you a wild monkey bred in a savage place!"

Mori Yuki was also taken aback.What era is this? Decades after the two world wars were over, there are still such feudal remnants in the world.You must know that even in Africa... people have carried out the national independence and enlightenment movement vigorously for more than ten years. It is unbelievable that a country that has entered the developed sequence can still hear this kind of view that was popular in the Middle Ages.

"Oh my God, I was so surprised!" She even blurted out her native language: "Mr. Guangjin, please tell me if there is something like a time machine on the road?!"

Guangjin Liulang: "I'm sorry, miss, can I trouble you to change to English or French? I'm really struggling with German, and I'm ashamed of you."
