[Comprehensive] On how to reject male gods
Chapter 44 Magic High School
On the Tokyo Sky Tree (also translated as Tokyo Sky Tree), Miyuki and Atobe stand facing each other. This tall tower, which was officially named before the New Tokyo Tower, broke the Guinness World Record that year with a height of 634 meters. It became the tallest tower in the world at that time.Time flies, and nearly a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Skytree is no longer the tallest tower, but it is still one of the landmark buildings in Japan.
And now, this high tower actually belongs to the Atobe consortium. It is really unbelievable to say it, but the reality is like this.
"So, Mr. Atobe invited me here just to let me visit the Sky Tree that has already belonged to you?"
If it was the "her" in the past, maybe she would still express envy for it, and it is not impossible to hate the rich or something.But after experiencing so much, Shenxue knows that these so-called glory and wealth can't add bricks and tiles to her seemingly unattainable goal. Only power, absolute power is her truth.
Atobe Keigo glanced at her lightly: "Why, it seems that you don't want to have any contact with me."
It was a declarative sentence, and he settled on it almost immediately.Miyuki frowned slightly upon hearing that, "Atobe-kun was joking."
Neither the Japanese royal family nor the British royal family is what she wants to be contaminated with, and what she wants is not those superficial fame and wealth at all.
She doesn't ask anyone to understand her. After all, it is wrong and evil to hurt others for her own benefit and stand on the commanding heights of morality.But she can't stop doing this. Rather than sacrificing herself to help others, she still hopes that she can be the one who laughs last.
Atobe sighed softly, rubbed the mole at the corner of his eye with one hand, focused his eyes on the girl in front of him, her eyes were clear but bottomless, she didn't show any interest in the topic he raised, which made Atobe rare some frustration.
"Since this is the case, I'll cut to the chase. Seiichi Yukimura has already offered you an olive branch as a representative of the Japanese royal family. Naturally, I can't turn a blind eye to it. I don't need to say the strength of the Yotsuba family, you should also know it bright.
Your elder brother, Shiba Tatsuya, is an existence that even the National Defense Forces are extremely afraid of. The power of the Yotsuba family is already too strong, and it can even be said to be above any family of the ten divisions. This is an undeniable fact .
The key now is whether the Japanese royal family, the military forces and the ten divisions are willing to watch the Yotsuba family grow day by day. No one can deny that some of them have the idea of killing it.What's more, your Yotsuba family still has so-called sworn enemies, what do you think? "
Atobe's eyes shifted, a smile that was not a smile was true.
Miyuki took a deep look at him: "Whether the enemy is not the enemy or not, that is the Yotsuba family's own business, so don't bother Mr. Atobe. But I am curious, so the Atobe family, one of the representatives of foreign forces, What do you want to express? You must know that Japan is only a tiny place. Apart from the majority of outstanding magicians, territorial resources and means of production are even more pitiful. It is nothing more than relying on previous accumulation and plundering abroad. Such a man from The country that has developed abnormally from ancient times to the present is grateful to the Atobe family for their great painstaking efforts."
Atobe was amused by her statement, and didn't know how to answer for a while, and finally had to say helplessly: "Is it really good to evaluate your country and nation in this way?"
Shenxue sneered: "The unspoken things are just a fig leaf. The rulers are always so self-righteous, thinking that the so-called policy of ignorance and loyalty to the country can always become a powerful means of controlling their culture and thoughts, but in fact the citizens are not idiots. Will not sit and wait for mermaid."
Atobe nodded slightly: "It seems that you have a lot of opinions on the ten divisions and the royal family, but it's a pity that even if the current Yotsuba family has a big killer like your brother, if you want to fight against the entire country, I'm afraid there is a chance of winning." Not big."
Miyuki smiled slightly, her eyes calm and unwavering: "If the regime is not stable, it will collapse sooner or later, and I won't be so frantic that I will get the Yotsuba family for it."
"Oh?" Atobe stared at her intently. The woman in front of her had an elegant demeanor, which was a little different from before. Atobe has always been observant, so how could he not see it? Although I don't know why there is such a change, but In the age of magic, it is not impossible for some incredible things to happen.
Miyuki straight to the point: "Honestly speaking, I am now the sure successor of the Yotsuba family, but who can guarantee that there will be variables in the future. If Atobe-kun just wants to discuss current affairs with me, then there is no need to spend so much money Zhou Zhang, Miyuki is really terrified."
Atobe looked at her playfully, and took the initiative to pour a small glass of red wine for Miyuki: "It's my honor to have a long talk with Ms. Miyuki. I don't think even Yukimura Seichi has such treatment."
Miyuki frowned, and didn't really want to talk about this topic, but it was obvious that the person opposite didn't intend to let her go easily.
Atobe took a sip of red wine, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw Miyuki's untouched dinner plate, with a slight smile in his eyes: "It seems that Ms. Miyuki is not really used to Western food, how about Japanese food?"
Miyuki shook her head when she heard the words, with a cold expression: "I don't have much appetite, Atobe-kun do it yourself."
Atobe couldn't help laughing: "You are like this, it seems that I have not fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, but Miss Miyuki is indeed worthy of the title of Queen of the Ice Region, and she even refuses to pay for me and Yukimura. I just don't know about the blind date with you Is that General Yiyi lucky enough to be favored by you?"
Miyuki frowned, disgust suddenly rose in her heart for Atobe's teasing words, and her eyes were not as calm as before.
"Why, Mr. Atobe knows my affairs in such detail. Could it be that you, like him, are willing to sacrifice your personal interests for the righteousness of the family?"
Keigo Atobe shook his head and said with a smile: "How can this be said to be sacrificing personal interests? If we can really reach an agreement with Ms. Miyuki, it must be my honor."
"Hmph." Miyuki showed contempt on her face, "I thought the heir of the Atobe family was such a proud son of heaven, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. But don't forget, I am the future head of the Yotsuba family. Even if I am disabled, maybe the Yotsuba family may still use me as a bargaining chip, but at least in my opinion, this hope is quite slim.
If I am in charge of the Yotsuba family, is it possible that Atobe-kun is willing to sacrifice himself to contribute to my Yotsuba family?But it is a pity that I already have a sweetheart, and besides him, I will not choose anyone else to be my conclusion! "
After talking about Miyuki, she got up and planned to leave, but the two bodyguards under Jibu immediately stopped Miyuki, Miyuki was alone, and Tatsuya had already been sent away by her, although she had the ability to protect herself, but in such a situation In public, she can't easily cast magic.
At this moment, Atobe walked up to her and looked at her sharply: "No one has ever dared to talk to me like this, Yotsuba Miyuki, it's really amazing. But it's a pity, just based on your feelings for your biological brother, you think Will those people who want to keep you as the Patriarch of the Yotsuba family willing to try their best to get rid of this stumbling block? Or, let him become the biggest stain on you, and the last one for the outside world to attack the Yotsuba family? Good point, huh?"
He grabbed Miyuki's wrist, lowered his head and approached her, and saw that her starry eyes were slightly flustered, her cherry lips were slightly parted, and the fine eyelashes fluttered like a small fan. When he got closer, the elegant fragrance on her body was even more annoying People are intoxicated.
Perhaps people who have seen her will be intoxicated by her beautiful appearance at first glance, but what Keigo Atobe noticed was the aloofness hidden deep in her eyes and the indifferent temperament around her, as well as that If there is melancholy that seems to be absent, these are all contradictory and harmonious in her body.
Miyuki had to admit that Atobe caught her sore spot, but she was not a fool, let alone compromise on this: "I don't know what Atobe-kun means, I think you must have made a mistake. I warn you, this It’s best to think about it before you say it!”
Atobe leaned over to her ear, and said in a deep magnetic voice accompanied by warm breathing: "It would be better if it wasn't, I don't want my woman to belong."
Miyuki couldn't help laughing at his self-righteousness: "Mr. Atobe thinks too much of himself."
From Yotsuba Maya's point of view, Miyuki knows very well that choosing a general for her is already Yotsuba Maya's biggest concession. With the trump card of my elder brother.
Atobe's eyes darkened, and his body suddenly changed: "There is nothing impossible for me to do, let alone the current situation. Yotsuba Miyuki, you'd better be enlightened, otherwise..."
According to the current situation in Japan, global changes, and the aftermath of the Third World War, even if the Yotsuba family will not confront the Ten Divisions, the National Defense Forces, and the Japanese imperial family, the situation is definitely not optimistic.Not to mention the serious lack of various resources in Japan, coupled with various social hidden dangers such as the encouragement of births, the uneven quality of the people, and the obvious gap in living standards, etc., I am afraid that the next "jihad" will not be too far away .And once that time comes, what the Yotsuba family will do in the face of competition from various countries in the world is really worth looking forward to.
The unfinished meaning in his words was very meaningful, Miyuki didn't know it very well, but felt that his eyes on her were too hot, and the eyes with hidden meaning really made her very uncomfortable, even after leaving Silent for a long time without saying a word.
Tatsuya discovered something wrong with Miyuki almost immediately. You must know that only Miyuki can touch his emotions in this world, and only Miyuki is the person he values most.Even his titular mother, Maya Yotsuba, Shibada has a hard time getting emotionally involved.Maybe it can be explained by the sequelae of the experiment, but in fact, in exchange for powerful power, it is already extremely lucky to be able to keep his feelings for his sister. On this point, Tatsuya never denied it, and even felt lucky more than once.
And as Tatsuya's only tie, Miyuki lived up to expectations and became the shackles that could control Tatsuya's powerful weapon in the eyes of the Yotsuba family, and she took action to secure her position as the heir of the Yotsuba family.
"Miyuki, did something happen before?"
Atobe Keigo's strength, even Tatsuya had to avoid his edge, not to mention he asked to talk to Miyuki alone, Tatsuya couldn't brute force to stop him, which also made him completely unclear about what the two of them said.
Miyuki sighed softly, looked up at Tatsuya, and squeezed out a smile in his worried eyes: "It's nothing, my lord, I'm just a little tired."
The two walked side by side on the way home, and Tatsuya was the first to hold Miyuki's hand. Miyuki's hypothermia made him frown: "No matter what, your body should be well protected, not just relying on it every time. 'Regeneration' will solve everything."
Miyuki nodded obediently: "I know, my lord brother." She looked at Tatsuya cautiously as she spoke, and asked after deliberation: "This time, do you have any explanation, auntie?"
Tatsuya froze, and then his face remained calm: "I haven't been in touch since then, but an invitation letter was sent two days ago, and it's from the Tenth Master Clan."
Shen Xue's eyes flashed: "Ten masters? These people are full of tricks. At this time, they still only care about those flashy names. It is not surprising that Japan will be defeated by them."
As she said that, she asked Tatsuya again: "Xingcun, did you find any changes recently?"
Tatsuya nodded: "In addition to the large amount of resource mobilization, the interaction with the Kanto branch of the Magic Association is extremely frequent. In addition, there seems to be abnormal situations monitored in Chinatown."
Shenxue hummed, "Let's report these things to our family as usual, we can't control these messes. By the way, during this time, my brother has also mobilized funds to store some supplies, so it can be considered safe."
Although it is clear that the main family of the Yotsuba family has always been familiar with these matters, she and her elder brother are not currently active outside as members of the Yotsuba family. At least the ten divisions are excluded, and only Atobe and Yukimura have such huge influence. Only then can we see their real bodies, but so far, their identities have been considered translucent.
After returning home, Shenxue let out a long breath and raised a smiling face: "I'll go make coffee for my brother."
As usual, Tatsuya had to report the progress of the previous work to the National Defense Forces. Miyuki didn't walk into the living room with the tray until the call was over. Tatsuya was already half leaning on the sofa, looking very tired.
Seeing this, Miyuki frowned slightly, gently put down the tray, and then sat down next to Tatsuya, with one hand lightly resting on the back of his hand. Even after entering the warm room, Miyuki’s body temperature was still warm after being active for a long time. below the average line.
Tatsuya clearly felt her touch, but he didn't open his eyes immediately, he just leaned quietly on the sofa, intertwining his fingers with Miyuki's.
Miyuki slowly rested her head on his shoulder, and put the other arm around his waist. The two bodies exchanged each other's temperature through a thin cloth. In the quiet and empty room, only two people were intertwined and warm. The breathing is like a pair of mandarin ducks sleeping with their necks crossed.
And now, this high tower actually belongs to the Atobe consortium. It is really unbelievable to say it, but the reality is like this.
"So, Mr. Atobe invited me here just to let me visit the Sky Tree that has already belonged to you?"
If it was the "her" in the past, maybe she would still express envy for it, and it is not impossible to hate the rich or something.But after experiencing so much, Shenxue knows that these so-called glory and wealth can't add bricks and tiles to her seemingly unattainable goal.
