Shinomiya Oko was panicking now.
Even though he had scolded the maid who reported the intelligence on Kaguya Shinomiya at first, when the surveillance video that was secretly sent was shown to him, despite being so scared that his legs were trembling, he still came here in person in the end.
Are you kidding!
How could he leave the interaction with such non-human existences to Kaguya, a girl!
Those were existences like human-shaped missile heads!
If they really became friends with Kaguya, the one who would not be able to sit still would be himself.
Most importantly, the clothing style of those unexpected visitors did not look like something modern people on Earth would wear.
If the other party lacked modern common sense... it was not impossible for them to launch a high-level assassination plan.
Then he would be in a real bind.
He could not arrange for a heavy firepower unit to follow him twenty-four hours a day, constantly vigilant.
Therefore, after building up his mental fortitude, he came to the door personally.
Just as Shinomiya Oko prepared himself and was about to take that step into Kaguya Shinomiya's mansion, a car with a familiar license plate suddenly appeared on the other side of the street and slowly parked next to his private car.
"Tch, so Untaka really did arrange for people in Kaguya's mansion too." Shinomiya Oko was not surprised at all by the methods his ambitious third brother would use.
After all, in the entire Shinomiya Family, except for the second brother who was truly trash, none of them were easy to deal with.
Even Kaguya, who appeared the most harmless, was the same.
After all, she was a woman of the Shinomiya Family raised by Untaka, whom even he was slightly wary of.
"Yo, big brother, what a coincidence, you are here to see Kaguya too." Even though it was a matter everyone knew, as long as it was not exposed, everyone could continue to pretend they did not know anything.
So Untaka, who had just gotten out of the car, said 'I am shocked' in a calm tone.
"Ah, that is right." A hypocritical smile appeared on Shinomiya Oko's face, his eyes squinted into slits. "After all, it has been a while since Kaguya and I, as siblings, got together. It just so happens I have no plans today, so I came over to see how Kaguya is doing."
"Then let us go in, do not stand at the door." Shikoku Untaka, who was standing by the car, had a cigarette in his mouth and gestured toward the main gate of Kaguya's mansion. "I will smoke a cigarette here before going in, so as not to disturb the cordial conversation between big brother and Kaguya."
Shikoku Untaka, you bastard, you are plotting against me!
With the same schemes, wanting to let his third brother go and test the waters first, several blue veins popped out on the bald head of Shinomiya Oko.
Looking at the foot he had retracted, cold sweat began to flow from Shinomiya Oko's forehead.
His throat moved slightly, and Shinomiya Oko took that step forward again.
He was able to hold onto some factions within the Shigong Conglomerate in the short few years after the old man started delegating power; he did not rely on hesitation!
Even Shikoku Untaka had to admire his big brother's courage, which was almost like gambling with his life.
Of course, admiration was admiration, but he would absolutely not let go of the benefits that needed to be seized.
The meat of the Shinomiya Family, he, Shikoku Untaka, was determined to eat!
Then the next moment, the cigarette butt at the corner of his mouth fell to the ground.
Wolf-like and mouse-like monsters made of black shadows crawled out from the shadows of the walls and the gate, blocking Shinomiya Oko's path.
Unlike Shinomiya Oko, the inside man he had planted in Kaguya's mansion did not have the ability to get surveillance video, so all he could rely on was the other party's text description.
Seeing the real thing, this was the first time.
"I am Shinomiya Oko, the current head of the Shinomiya Family." Shinomiya Oko did not even dare to reach out to take a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, suspending that raised foot half a centimeter from the ground, not daring to move as he introduced his identity. "Can you report to your master and let me enter to have a conversation with them?"
A mouse-like monster turned and burrowed into the shadow of the large iron gate and disappeared.
Meanwhile, in the dining room, Shalltear, who was tasting the appetizer served by Kaguya Shinomiya's mansion chef, suddenly paused, then looked up at Daniel.
"Master, outside the gate, a male human claiming to be the head of the Shinomiya Family, named Shinomiya Oko, has arrived. Should I let him in?"
"Shalltear! Master is eating, how dare you say such stupid things as letting that human named Shinomiya Oko come to see him!" Albedo would never miss any opportunity to strike at Shalltear in front of Daniel.
Crack.
A sound similar to teeth being broken came from Shalltear's mouth.
"That is right, that is right. Let that Shinomiya Oko wait until Master and His Majesty King Arthur finish their meal before coming to see them." Aura also recklessly poked at Shalltear's face.
Ai Hayasaka looked at Shalltear with a hint of pity in her eyes.
This Ms. Shalltear is so pitiful, she actually encountered workplace bullying.
And others were bullying her recklessly in front of the person in power, and one of them was her superior.
Really, so pitiful!
"Albedo, Aura, don't bully Shalltear too much." Daniel said, his mouth twitching slightly as he spoke up for Shalltear.
"Master!" Shalltear's eyes were misty with tears, her face slightly flushed as she cupped her cheeks, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Daniel with a pitiful expression.
The sound of teeth grinding came from two more places.
"As for Shinomiya Oko, let him come in. However, I have no interest in seeing him until I've finished eating."
Daniel said this last sentence while looking at Ai Hayasaka.
The meaning was simple: go tell Shinomiya Oko this.
"Hayasaka, didn't you hear the guest's request? Go and inform my eldest brother," Kaguya Shinomiya said, taking a gentle sip of her black tea.
"Yes, My Lady." Ai Hayasaka's heart rate accelerated instantly.
There was no doubt that her mistress had already begun to suspect the relationship between her and Shinomiya Oko.
What should she do? What to do?
Should she admit it now... No, she couldn't talk about such things in front of the guests.
Doing so would be like throwing her mistress's dignity onto the ground and stomping on it hard.
Ai Hayasaka left the dining room with a composed expression.
"What interesting humans." Shalltear glanced at Ai Hayasaka's retreating figure, then turned her head to look at Kaguya Shinomiya. "Both of their heart rates suddenly sped up quite a bit."
"Lady Shalltear, I do not understand what you mean." Kaguya Shinomiya responded, looking at Shalltear with eyes that had lost their luster.
"Hehehehe..." Shalltear smiled even more brightly.
"Shalltear, if you don't eat now, there won't be anything left to eat." Daniel reminded her, glancing at the dining table where the food was almost being completely swept away by Artoria's pair of chopsticks.
Who knows why a Westerner, and an ancient one at that, was so skilled at using chopsticks!
Thanks to 'Azi Dahaka' for the spicy sticks.
