In the banquet venue prepared by the Shinomiya family-there was still some time before the banquet officially started, so there were only a few people, who were just talking to acquaintances.
Erina was chatting with a few people from other companies, while Jaden leaned against a corner, eyes closed.
Despite this, Jaden could still hear the surrounding sounds.
And from his perspective, this was a completely different world from what others saw-especially when his eyes were closed.
Although there were very few people and quiet conversations around, in Jaden's ears, this place was as bustling as a marketplace!
"Ah, I'm no longer concerned about what happened before."
'Heh, actually, I've already decided where to bury you!'
"Oh my, we really suffered a big loss this time, losing to you young people... hahaha."
'I'll kill you within three days, you little brat!'
All sorts of contradictory, private, and ugly thoughts-the moment he closed his eyes, the surroundings were like a demon's den, as if the ones making noise were all sorts of evil spirits!
But there was one place that was different.
"Our Totsuki is just expanding normally. If any of you have any ideas, please feel free."
Whether it was the voice or the inner thought, they were essentially consistent, and the confidence carried in the words stood out brightly among this group of people-that was Erina's voice.
Hearing this, Jaden slowly smiled and then opened his eyes.
This ability to hear what others were thinking was not a new power-it was a new realm reached as his Observation Haki continuously improved after his Ogre Brain awakened.
He hadn't noticed it himself at first.
It wasn't until he started being able to hear what others were thinking that he realized-his Observation Haki had become much stronger all at once!
He was initially puzzled as to why his Observation Haki had suddenly become stronger.
But he hadn't done anything special these past few days.
So, if he had to say, it could only be related to the Ogre Brain awakening.
At first, he thought this might cause some trouble, as constantly hearing what others were thinking was quite annoying.
He was even prepared to endure it for a while until he could freely control his Observation Haki.
But later, he felt it didn't matter.
Because...
Erina was the kind of person where, even if you used Observation Haki to listen, you would never feel bothered by knowing what she was thinking, and you could even see some of her cuter sides.
As for others... it didn't matter!
As long as Erina was there, Jaden didn't feel too uncomfortable, and this situation wouldn't last too long-he was already starting to control himself not to deliberately pay attention to these sounds, and the sounds were starting to quiet down.
It wouldn't take long for Jaden to control this newly acquired ability of his Observation Haki.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
After Jaden started suppressing the inner voices of others, Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai arrived, and a woman with long pink hair also followed them.
"Fujiwara suddenly came to find me, so I was delayed for a bit."
Shinomiya Kaguya looked helplessly at Fujiwara Chika beside her, and Fujiwara Chika scratched her head and chuckled upon hearing Shinomiya Kaguya say this.
"Hehe... it's mainly because my family kept saying Kaguya was having trouble, so I thought I'd come to help."
Her voice was soft, and her whole persona felt soft; you would be hard-pressed to develop any ill will towards her the moment you saw her.
This made Erina, who had just sent others away, smile.
"It's no big deal. After all, we are officially partners, and privately, we are friends. There's no need to worry too much about such a small matter."
She said this first, then extended her hand to Fujiwara Chika.
"Hello, I'm Nakiri Erina, and that's my partner, Jaden Yuki-Kaguya's friend, nice to meet you."
"Same here!"
Fujiwara Chika grasped Erina's hands with both of hers, then looked at Kaguya, pursed her lips, and tears almost welled up in the corners of her eyes-a look like a mother seeing her grown-up daughter.
"I almost thought Kaguya wouldn't have any more friends~ It's so wonderful to see Kaguya make new friends~!"
"Fujiwara..."
Shinomiya Kaguya's face turned a little red, signaling Fujiwara Chika to stop talking.
Then she cleared her throat and composed herself before speaking to Erina again.
"Erina, the main reason I asked you to come today is that I need your help right now."
Hearing Shinomiya Kaguya say this, Erina nodded.
"Don't worry-I also heard that some people are planning something, but there's nothing to worry about. After all, many of them don't seem to fully grasp where the 'cohesion' of the Shinomiya family actually lies, so today is just the right time to make them recall that 'cohesion' again."
Hearing Erina say this, Shinomiya Kaguya also smiled.
"Indeed, since Shinomiya is a clan that rose with the rise of Kengan, we truly need to appropriately discipline those guys~"
They were talking like this, while Fujiwara Chika ran over to Jaden.
"You must be Mr. Yuki. I've heard Kaguya talk about you-she said you are a very formidable martial artist, the kind that transcends ordinary humans, so I've always had a question I wanted to ask you."
Jaden's eye twitched upon hearing Fujiwara Chika say this.
"I cannot shoot energy waves."
Jaden, who could hear what the other person was thinking, naturally knew what she wanted to ask right away.
The martial artists in her mind... well, they were the 2D kind, who could do the Shoryuken and Hadouken-regardless of whether it was useful or not, he could still perform the Shoryuken move, but the Hadouken...
-The human body hasn't reached that level of mystery yet!
"Eh-"
Fujiwara Chika, drawing out the sound, showed visible disappointment on her face.
It was at this moment that a group of people walked in from outside the door.
Distinctly different from the scattered arrival of others, this group seemed to have made prior arrangements, arriving together directly, and they seemed to make no secret of their purpose. Upon entering, the person leading them immediately surveyed the entire venue with his gaze!
When he found Shinomiya Kaguya, he visibly smiled.
Then he curled his lip when he saw Erina was also by Kaguya's side.
Finally, when he saw Jaden was also there, he frowned directly, hesitated for a while, but his eyes ultimately hardened!
Without any hesitation, he walked straight to Erina and Shinomiya Kaguya, then spoke to Shinomiya Kaguya in a self-righteous manner:
"-I've always felt that Miss Kaguya, you are more suitable for the position of the Shinomiya family head than your brother and father!"
"Please look at those behind me-I specifically infiltrated their ranks before; this group of people actually wanted to take advantage of your unstable foundation to usurp power!"
"They even arranged a marriage partner for you, these ambitious wolves, planning to steal the Shinomiya family's millennia-old foundation! I specifically infiltrated the enemy to gather evidence!"
While speaking, he knelt on one knee directly in front of Shinomiya Kaguya, looking utterly loyal!
"Now, please, Miss Kaguya... oh no, Family Head Shinomiya, make your decision-I stand by your side no matter what, fully supporting you!"
"I am not like them! I am loyal to Shinomiya!"
This series of actions left Shinomiya Kaguya somewhat bewildered.
And the group of people behind him were completely dumbfounded!
Because...
-Wasn't it you who led the way!?
You gathered us, persuaded us, and then... you became the loyal minister!?
