Hiratsuka Shizuka was confused by Shiro's shameless remark. What? Don't be like a woman, always nagging and complaining? She was a woman, alright? This bastard was asking for a beating, his skin was itching for it.
The main reason she couldn't beat him up was because she could only endure it.
"I have a relative, and it seems like he's possessed right now."
"Recently, that person has completely gone mad. Sometimes he even harms himself, sometimes he spouts a bunch of nonsense, and sometimes he wants to hurt others."
"Of course, the purpose of self-harm is to find an opportunity to escape."
"Do you know what's going on in this kind of situation?"
At that, Shiro was stunned. Wasn't this obviously possession by an evil spirit? And the desire to hurt others definitely pointed to an evil spirit.
"How long has this been going on?"
"This is definitely an evil spirit."
"I know it's an evil spirit, but what kind of evil spirit is it? After all, this situation doesn't look like some normal dirty thing possessing someone."
Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned as she said this, expressing her thoughts, while the others were somewhat afraid that it might hurt people.
"How would I know? Those things are just like that. Some follow rules, some have desires, and some simply want to kill. According to your description, the other side should be the type that simply kills for pleasure or just wants to kill."
"Pure evil."
After hearing that, Shiro already had a conclusion in mind. Most likely there was no final wish, and therefore no obsession; it simply failed to reincarnate and became a pure evil spirit.
Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't understand, but she still nodded.
"I'm just asking, but I actually think this situation shouldn't be difficult to deal with, right? After all, if they were really powerful, let alone imprisoning the other side, it wouldn't even be difficult for them to wipe out that person's family, would it? After all, some powerful possessions can drastically increase the host's strength and abilities in every aspect. And yet, your relative's family can control him, which proves he's still at his original level~"
"The key is that your family started out in shady business, and your relative is probably also someone from the upper class. It's impossible for them not to have some abilities, right?"
"If you hire someone with a bit of ability, wouldn't it be solved?"
Shiro's eyes were full of confusion at this moment, because this situation was very easy to resolve.
Hiratsuka Shizuka relaxed her shoulders after hearing that, then took a sip of sake, wearing a strange expression on her face.
"Not everyone can get in contact with people like that. Even if you can hire them, it would require an enormous price, and that child's situation is different."
Hiratsuka Shizuka stopped there, unwilling to continue, because some things were better left unheard by others. Shiro was also very understanding.
"We've eaten and drunk enough. Let's call it a day. It's almost time anyway."
Shiro said this to the others. Even though they carried a bit of gossiping spirit within them, since they had only recently learned about this and didn't often come into contact with such things, it was obvious she didn't want them hearing the other party's situation. These people were also understanding, so they all obediently left.
"Shiro, Hiratsuka, we're leaving. See you tomorrow."
Hiratsuka Shizuka also bid these people farewell with a smile on her face.
After everyone left, she took another sip of sake and sighed.
"Seriously, how did a brat like you even get connected with people who are this quiet and reasonable?"
When Shiro heard that, he was speechless.
"Aren't you underestimating me a little too much?"
"It can only be said that birds of a feather flock together. After all, you know my situation, and these are also problematic people. You know about the series with the children too, so we're all just somehow struggling along together."
Shiro spoke the brutal truth. After all,
everyone here was a problematic person.
"So you, brat, took the opportunity to build a harem, huh?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke the brutal truth, and Shiro didn't deny it.
"Is there a problem with that? It's not illegal. These people are fully aware and willing, so what's wrong with it? As far as I know, your grandfather married more than one woman too, right?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka was left speechless after hearing that. Her grandfather really had married seven or eight women, while her father couldn't marry because he had been adopted into the family.
Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly realized something. How did this guy know about her family situation? She had never told him.
"Wait, how do you know about my family situation? I clearly remember never telling you about it."
Hiratsuka Shizuka's gaze toward Shiro became strange.
Shiro calmly returned her gaze, as if he had nothing to hide.
"It's not difficult to find out about your family situation. In a certain sense, a lot of information about you is actually completely transparent."
"Not to mention, you are my future wife. Is there a problem with me understanding the situation of my future wife's family?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned for a moment after hearing that, then blushed and shouted.
"Who's your wife? Don't talk nonsense."
"This girl is still single. If this spreads around, how am I supposed to find a partner?"
Shiro couldn't help glancing at her after hearing that. In the very next moment, she discovered that the bottle in her hand had disappeared, and she was sitting on Shiro's lap, the two of them extremely close to each other.
Hiratsuka Shizuka stared at Shiro's face right in front of her and froze for a moment, instinctively trying to pull back, but someone held her tightly.
"Bastard, what are you trying to do?"
"I heard you still want to find a partner, right?"
Shiro didn't directly answer the question, instead replying with another question.
Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that this was not going in a good direction, but she didn't want to back down, so without hesitation she adopted the stance of fighting to the end.
"Is there a problem with that?"
"Heh heh."
"You're still asking if there's a problem. I'll make you understand just how serious the problem is."
Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't get to continue speaking before someone forcefully grabbed the back of her head and sealed her lips.
Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't expect the seriousness of the problem he mentioned to be this serious. At first she wanted to resist, after all, if she didn't resist it would look like she had been eagerly waiting for it, but then it felt so pleasant that she couldn't help giving up her resistance. Right now, her entire being was extremely conflicted.
This Iron Fist Saintess did not know that Shiro had slightly loosened his suppression over her, completely enchanting her at this moment.
