Kirishima Shoko's eyes were full of confusion after hearing Shiro's words. If there was someone he didn't like, then logically wouldn't that person have already been removed? Why would he still want to watch that person suffer?
Kirishima Shoko had not fully understood the situation earlier.
"Someone you don't like, that means they provoked you, right? Considering your character, you wouldn't have left them until now."
Shiro thought for a moment after that.
"They didn't provoke me, I simply don't like that guy."
Kirishima Shoko immediately understood. If it was that kind of situation, Shiro really would not act first.
After all, not liking someone and attacking first are two completely different things.
Shiro is the type who, if he doesn't like you – he doesn't like you, but as long as you don't provoke him, he won't bother with you. However, if the other side has bad luck, he has no objection to enjoying the show from the side.
He is exactly that type.
After understanding that, Kirishima Shoko did not say anything more, she took Shiro's hand, signaling that they could go.
Shiro also did not waste time and immediately took her there. The two of them appeared out of nowhere, but the people around them seemed not to notice, or at least they did not pay attention, as if it were a completely normal occurrence.
Kirishima Shoko could not help but exclaim:
"Your power and abilities are truly impressive, at least for ordinary people, that is completely overwhelming."
Shiro shrugged.
"How else could I firmly keep a young lady like you without a little strength?"
Kirishima Shoko tightened her grip on his hand after that, showing her attitude.
They played the whole morning until they arrived at a restaurant, found a slightly secluded place and sat down to eat.
"Tsk tsk, the first time I enter a haunted house with you, and the scenario is nowhere near what I imagined. I didn't expect you wouldn't be afraid of such things."
Shiro stirred his drink, with a hint of regret in his voice, because he suddenly remembered that she actually wasn't afraid of such things.
Kirishima Shoko shook her head.
"When you know everything is fake, there is no reason to be afraid."
"Shiro, can you tell me what happened to you this week? I have the feeling that a lot of things happened that I know nothing about."
She took a sip, put the glass down, and looked at him calmly.
There it was, the classic question. But Shiro had nothing to hide.
"Actually, nothing special."
"Basically, I got an alien princess as a fiancée."
Kirishima Shoko's eyebrows slightly raised at the word "fiancée," and an indescribable emotion flashed in her eyes.
Shiro noticed it and said with a smile:
"Are you jealous?"
Kirishima Shoko did not answer directly, but curiously asked:
"And Mikan, doesn't it bother her?"
Shiro immediately understood what she meant.
"Emmm… Don't you know? Titles or things like that were never important to her."
"And it's not like you imagine. I can guarantee that you'll like her as soon as you meet her."
Kirishima Shoko was surprised. If Shiro gave such an evaluation, that meant that person was truly special.
"Then I really look forward to meeting her."
"Also, I noticed that the word 'alien' is sometimes mentioned, and those who know about it don't react at all. Is that also your doing?"
Shiro tapped his finger on his forehead several times, and then explained everything to her in detail, which lasted about twenty minutes.
Kirishima Shoko was somewhat surprised; she did not expect that he had experienced so much in one week.
"It seems your life is quite full."
"You could say that."
Shiro smiled sincerely, a smile that came from deep within his heart.
Kirishima Shoko rarely saw such a smile.
To be precise, she had not seen it in the past half year. She always had the feeling that he carried some hidden sadness within himself.
"I'm glad to see you smiling like this. It's been almost half a year since I saw you like that."
Shiro recalled his own state.
"Sorry. Usually I want to smile like this, but mostly…"
"I know, I understand your situation and that feeling of suppressed heaviness."
Shiro felt how much she understood him.
"By the way, Shiro, my father asked me to remind you that you suddenly bought shares in so many corporations and your name has already appeared before many influential people. If you want to stay in the shadows, that is now almost impossible."
Kirishima Shoko remembered that her parents had asked her during dinner two days ago to pass that message to him. They knew about him and had already met him.
His sudden actions had surprised them.
Shiro smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, there's no problem. If someone is too curious, I'll just slightly change their way of thinking."
"Honestly, I only wanted to be a director for fun, but I accidentally went a bit too far. Since I've already taken it, I don't plan to withdraw. Let it be public."
"After all, whoever moves first takes the biggest risk. I just need to deal with those people properly."
"And then I'll do something so they subconsciously ignore me."
Kirishima Shoko was not actually worried. With his power, it was just a formal warning.
"By the way, how is it that the Kirishima Family also has 21% of its shares out of control? Aren't they all under your management?"
Shiro was curious.
Kirishima Shoko put down her utensils.
"There were crises in the past. Not everything goes smoothly for everyone."
"And those were things we couldn't recover at the time."
Shiro nodded, understanding.
"Do you want them back? If you want, I can transfer them to your name immediately. You know I'm not interested in that."
Kirishima Shoko shook her head.
"Keep them."
"I feel much calmer when they are with you than with someone else."
"And don't forget, I'm the only child in the family, so the entire group is my dowry."
Shiro realized that the more he did, the more everything eventually became his.
"Honestly, if I were an ordinary person, I would be overjoyed, because I could live off a rich woman. And such a beautiful rich woman."
Kirishima Shoko sighed.
"If you were a little more ordinary, I wouldn't mind you living off me, but that's impossible."
…..
"That's the famous fountain, right?"
"Yes, it's the most beautiful at three o'clock. It happens once a day."
Kirishima Shoko was now full of anticipation. She had come precisely for that.
"Shinichi, why did you bring me here?"
