Facing the targeting from Atsuomi in the outside world, Ryunosuke had actually possessed a solution for a long time. At worst, he just didn't need to leave this school, and the business was done.
After all, after graduating later, he intended to become a teacher at this school. Who knows, he might even become a colleague of Chie and Sae.
Furthermore, continuing his father's business.
Ah, no, what he meant was continuing his father-in-law's business.
In any case, his father-in-law, Narumori, was the Chairman of the Board at this school. He could become like a "little king" inside here, so there was no reason for him to go out.
Moreover, Narumori would certainly hand over the majority of power to him, because he was his future son-in-law.
However, for his mother who was in the outside world, he still had to think of a way.
Without wasting time, Ryunosuke acted immediately.
He put down his game controller, and after finishing his meal, he straight away went to meet his father-in-law, Narumori, to request permission to go out for the sake of checking on his mother. If his mother was in danger, Ryunosuke planned to take advantage of this opportunity to bring her into the school.
His father-in-law was also highly cooperative. He straight away approved his permission slip, using a fabricated reason that Ryunosuke had to leave school to undergo appendicitis surgery.
Ryunosuke had no time to make an issue out of that incredibly terrible and awkward reason. After obtaining the permission to go out, he immediately rushed without stopping to look for his mother.
However, his mother appeared to have already anticipated this. When Ryunosuke arrived at that familiar sea of flowers, the person had already disappeared. What remained was only a small note attached to the door.
The essence of the note was that this family went on vacation abroad and would not return anytime soon.
Seeing that matter, Ryunosuke felt a lot more relieved.
(Logically speaking, no matter how great Ayanokouji Atsuomi's power is, he won't be able to interfere in affairs abroad, right? Let alone taking action, just dispatching people to catch my mother would certainly face extreme difficulty managing the permission to go abroad.)
In addition, the note mentioned that they would be gone for a few years. Ryunosuke instantly scratched his head in confusion.
"What a coincidence."
"To go on vacation right at a time like this. But it's good then, mother should already be safe."
Ryunosuke then returned to the school with a calm heart. Without him realizing, after he left that sea of flowers, a beautiful female shadow continually watched him silently from behind.
The wind blew her beautiful white hair. From the very beginning, his mother had absolutely never left that place.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
On the other side, Atsuomi.
His hand held a document, which turned out to contain the entirety of information about Ryunosuke in the outside world, including his parents.
Ayanokouji's guess was not wrong; how could his father possibly let Ryunosuke go just like that?
However, something that gave Atsuomi a headache instead occurred.
Exactly as Ryunosuke said, his parents had already divorced. His father was sent to Africa to plant potatoes and it wasn't known if he was still alive or already dead, while his mother had remarried and had severed custody relations with Ryunosuke.
Ryunosuke did not possess any weaknesses whatsoever that could be grasped by Atsuomi.
(Damn it, this kid truly has nothing. How exactly can I threaten him so that he's willing to work for me?)
As for why he couldn't track Ryunosuke's girlfriends out there, the answer was very simple.
The country of Japan did not use identity cards, but rather used an electronic identification number system. Inside it already included tax data, social insurance, and electronic information integrated into one.
Therefore, tracking someone's interaction history or relationships wasn't easy. Japan highly upheld privacy and the personal wishes of individuals.
As an example, in the process of filming adult movies (AV), producers had to repeatedly ensure whether the female performer did it voluntarily, requesting her to sign a contract, up to making confirmation video and audio recordings. This series of complicated procedures was carried out for the sake of preventing the female performer from turning around to sue them on charges of defamation or coercion after the filming was finished.
Despite the fact they clearly produced adult movies, they were highly afraid if the female performer regretted it in the future and threw them into prison.
Yes, the situation was indeed that absurd...
When filming adult movies, they had to obtain absolute consent from the female party. There must not be any action whatsoever that violated the will of another person; otherwise, they would straight away enter prison and lament their fate behind bars.
At least in terms of obtaining personal information, Japan wasn't as easy as other countries.
In short, the process was quite complicated.
Because of that, Ryunosuke did not perform any prevention preparations whatsoever, because it indeed wasn't necessary. Furthermore, the secret agent unit from Lycoris highly classified the identity of its members. Even a person of Atsuomi's level possessed no authority to access it.
Just to be safe, Ryunosuke had also told Chisato to help watch over the safety of Yuki, Chizuru, and Kaori in the outside world. If there was danger, Chisato would certainly contact him straight away.
However, Atsuomi still managed to track Ryunosuke's parents and family members, and he saw one interesting thing.
Namely, the fact that Ryunosuke was married.
Atsuomi took the document folder belonging to Mahiru, then propped his chin with one hand while thinking deeply.
(This Shiina surname... Is it merely a coincidence? Or am I overthinking? Why is this surname exactly identical to the surname of the Shiina Family, which is at the bottom position of the Four Great Conglomerates?)
Atsuomi's fingers tapped the table surface.
Even though in this world there were many people who possessed the same surname, for the sake of avoiding trouble with the wrong party, Atsuomi still handed Mahiru's document folder to his secretary. He ordered for this person to be investigated thoroughly without a single mistake.
His secretary received the folder and immediately went to look for information. It didn't take a long time; he returned and reported that the investigation was finished. That woman was indeed truly a member of the Shiina Family.
(Fortunately, I didn't rush to take action merely because of that woman's status as the wife of Akasaka Ryunosuke. Otherwise, I might have offended one of the Four Great Conglomerates for no clear reason.)
Regarding their position being at the very bottom, their strength still must not be underestimated. Their main base was located in faraway England, and they didn't leave many assets in Japan. However, still they weren't a party that could be offended by Atsuomi.
As he flipped through Mahiru's personal information, he found one interesting thing: Mahiru had been removed from the Shiina Family genealogy.
Mahiru's mother had a broken relationship with her husband. Her husband had an affair while the mother was pregnant with Mahiru.
Even so, Mahiru's mother still tried to save the marriage. She even brought the toddler Mahiru to confront her husband. However, as a result, she was instead confronted with the sight of her husband together with his mistress and their child—a family of three standing happily in front of her.
Mahiru's mother was completely broken; to the point she didn't even want her child anymore. She dumped Mahiru, who was only four or five years old, at the scene and then just walked away.
Considering Mahiru was his own flesh and blood, the father contacted the main Shiina family to pick her up because he himself also didn't want this daughter.
Little Mahiru, who hugged her teddy bear, then began to be passed around hither and thither like a kicked ball. No one was willing to care for her.
Even the grandfather from the main family only raised Mahiru until she could be independent—which was around the age approaching adulthood—after that he completely washed his hands of her.
(In other words...)
(If I want to invite Miss Mahiru to come gather, chat casually, or drink tea together, the Shiina Family won't do anything to me.)
(Because, this second daughter of the Shiina Family has officially been discarded.)
Atsuomi's lips then curled into a smile that was thoroughly filled with ill intent.
