Chapter 645

In this subtle tension, three equally elaborately dressed and stunningly beautiful women, holding wine glasses, gracefully approached the newcomer. Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of many nearby guests, not only because of their outstanding looks, but also because of the seemingly intimate yet slightly complex atmosphere between them and the newcomer.

First was a young female police officer standing nearly 1.7 meters tall, with astonishingly long legs and mixed-race-like three-dimensional facial features—Ikeda Erena.

She currently belongs to the Special Mission Unit and is one of Minami's most capable aides, renowned for her explosive action power and icy demeanor.

Tonight she unusually took off her uniform and put on a deep red velvet off-shoulder form-fitting short dress, the hem just past mid-thigh, fully displaying her impressive figure proportions.

On her feet were a pair of matching-color plush-surfaced extremely high-heeled sandals, with slender ankles painted in dark red nail polish. Most striking were her long, straight legs, glowing with healthy radiance under the lights, wrapped in exceptionally textured deep gray velvet pearlized pantyhose that perfectly complemented her dress and shoes, exuding an intensely aggressive sensuality.

Her steps carried the crisp efficiency characteristic of detectives, yet her gaze fixed unwaveringly on Muneyuki, openly revealing her affection and resentment.

I was here first!

Following closely was the forensic assistant from the Metropolitan Police Department's Forensics Division, and also Uesugi Muneyuki's RA assistant from Tokyo University, Ishihara Mikoto.

Unlike Ikeda Erena's aggressive beauty, Mikoto's beauty was more intellectual and gentle.

She wore a light gray cashmere-knit dress, tailored to be slim-fitting without being tight, outlining a well-proportioned and graceful figure, with a delicate pearl necklace at the neckline.

Her makeup was refined and soft, her smile warm, and on her feet were a pair of ivory-pointed slim high-heeled shoes, while the stockings on her legs were near-skin-tone sheer velvet, emitting a pearl-like delicate and soft luster that perfected the lines of her calves, adding a touch of understated elegance.

As Uesugi Muneyuki's direct work assistant and mentor in forensic medicine, the默契 and reliance cultivated over countless late nights in the autopsy room had long surpassed ordinary colleague relations.

I was here first!

Bringing up the rear was Saito Asuka, who appeared the youngest and most petite, wearing a pale cherry blossom-colored lace knee-length dress, exuding a girlish freshness and shyness.

As everyone knows, she is the girl Uesugi Muneyuki rescued from desperation, having no relatives in Tokyo and having suffered excessive fright, so he temporarily took her in to care for—unexpectedly, this temporary arrangement has lasted many years.

She timidly followed behind the two imposing older sisters, like a startled fawn.

On her legs she wore pure white, with subtle lace-patterned over-the-knee velvet socks, paired with round-toed Mary Jane shoes, making her appear especially pure and innocent.

However, upon close observation, one would notice that the edge of her white socks faintly bore the outline of an extremely fine decorative chain.

I, I came too!

These three women, vastly different in style yet equally captivating, stood together, forming a small group with immense visual impact. The wine glasses in their hands were all pointed directly at the newcomer.

"Management Secretary————no, now it should be Minami-sama," Ikeda Erena spoke first, her voice carrying a hint of husky magnetism: "And Uesugi Chief, congratulations on your marriage!"

Her toast was brief; as she tilted her head back and drained her glass, the deep gray velvet pearlized stockings on her long legs beneath the short dress outlined powerful lines. Ikeda Erena is not good with words; she always expresses her determination through action.

Ishihara Mikoto smiled gently and added: "Muneyuki-kun, Minami Management Secretary, may you be united in heart and blessed with happiness."

Her drinking posture was even more elegant, the flesh-colored velvet stockings covering her knees slightly turning inward, forming a subtle and captivating angle.

Saito Asuka spoke softly: "Mr. Uesugi, Minami-sister, thank—thank thank you for always taking care of us—may you always be happy."

She took small sips of juice, her pure white lace stockings trembling slightly with her nervous little movements.

Minami gazed affectionately at the three before her, her inner pride reaching its peak.

She of course knew these three women had, to varying degrees, clear or hidden entanglements with her husband: Ikeda Erena's straightforward pursuit, Mikoto's daily dependence, and Asuka's chick-like affection.

But now, they could only stand here, raising their glasses to congratulate her as the principal wife. She felt like a queen inspecting troops, savoring the joy of complete victory.

She elegantly raised her glass in return, her gaze sweeping over the stockings on the three women's legs—deep gray, flesh-colored, pure white—different colors, yet all made of expensive velvet, presenting a similar luxurious texture under the lights.

More importantly, she keenly noticed that when Ikeda Erena and Mikoto sat down and stood up, the moment their hems flared, a faintly visible special treatment at the sock tops appeared—seemingly not a traditional full design.

And Asuka's white lace sock tops, with their faint chain-like decoration, stirred something in her heart.

Originally—it wasn't just me and Mai—? A more astonishing thought flashed through Minami's mind.

Hehe, looks like everyone gets it~

This special kind of "gift" and "way of wearing" has long been an unspoken secret among these few women.

A strange sense of alliance, mixed with stronger territorial awareness, welled up in her heart.

The surrounding guests, especially those who vaguely knew that Uesugi Muneyuki is always surrounded by outstanding women, watched these four stunningly beautiful women, each with distinct styles yet all closely related to the groom, gather to toast the newcomer, and their gazes grew meaningful. Several noblewomen with closer ties to the Uesugi or Watanabe families exchanged several meaningful glances, covering their mouths with fans or handkerchiefs, whispering softly.

"See? That Miss Ikeda, the tall beauty police officer, her gaze at the groom isn't innocent————they've long had rumors————"

"Dr. Ishihara too, usually looks demure, but tonight she really went all out with this outfit."

"Even that adopted little girl————tsk tsk, Asuka, the big star of Sakuradamon!"

"Minami-sama truly has extraordinary bearing—this is what they mean by the ease of the Omitaidokoro (principal wife)" right?"

"This isn't a wedding, I'd say it's the live-action version of 《Ooku: Snow Chaos》—that White River Chief Priest hasn't joined the fray yet"————

"

"Shh, keep it down! But————you said those stockings on their legs, why do they look so special? Like they were custom-made together————"

These scattered remarks did not reach the center of attention.

Minami Ojou-sama drained her cup in one gulp, then affectionately clung to Muneyuki's arm, as if silently declaring sovereignty.

She looked at the three "concubines" before her, her smile growing brighter: "Thank you, Ikeda-chan, Mikoto-nee, and Asuka-chan. Please continue to look after our Muneyuki."

Though this sounded like polite talk, the "our family" and "look after" were bitten out with exceptional clarity, carrying an undeniable sense of belonging.

Seeing this, Uesugi Kuninori stroked his beard and smiled; the vitality and health on his grandson's body were his pride, and also one of his main reasons for believing Uesugi Muneyuki would surely have enough heirs to carry on the Uesugi family name.

Seeing this, Watanabe Eiji furrowed his brow, but then relaxed, thinking this was fine as long as the situation remained controllable.

As for others————the Special Mission Unit members all understood Uesugi Muneyuki's "Ooku" situation, while those unaware of the truth, such as Cabinet Secretary Onoda Kimiaki, unconsciously directed their gaze toward his younger brother Onoda Kimiaki.

However, Onoda Kimiaki at this moment was busy courting a female artist around forty years old present at the event, obviously hoping for a spring breeze once more.

Not far from Onoda Kimiaki, Investigation Division Chief Sugishita Ukyo and his ex-wife were talking; seeing this, Onoda Kimiaki could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the situation was completely different.

"Hurry up!" Fuji TV President Kameyama Chihiro and FNS Production Bureau Chief Abiru Kazuhiko desperately grabbed Tei Reiji's sleeve, flustered and exasperated: "Hurry up and go toast!"

"But, but————" our beautiful Tei anchor was mortified, she lowered her head, desperately burying her face in her chest.

"Go ah ah ah!" Kameyama President almost shouted: "Once you pass this village, there's no more shop! What are you thinking, Tei! Immediately, right now, get up and toast for me!"

Fuji TV's leading lady almost had her heart burst, she despairingly closed her eyes, not knowing what to do.

She of course also wanted to join them, become one of them, but her identity was not only unsuitable for public view, and would Minami accept her? Furthermore, she was merely a member of Fuji TV's green room staff used to entertain the Uesugi family—Uesugi————what would he even think of her?

Okay, this is so embarrassing!

However, the Tobu Television anchor still did not want to let go of this opportunity no matter what, so she finally mustered her courage, stepped onto the stage in a pair of CL red-soled pointed-toe high heels with hollowed-out sides, and went over to propose a toast with a clip-clop clip-clop.

At the same time, Kashiwagi Jin also felt something was off.

Kashiwagi Jin discovered that his wife, Kashiwagi Misa, was staring blankly at the Ooku of Uesugi Muneyuki, where the "Snow Chaos" was erupting, and even her face showed an eager-to-try expression.

What kind of expression is that?

Kashiwagi Jin was at a loss, thinking, you also want to go up and propose a toast? On what grounds? Could it be that you also want to join them? How is that possible?

"Misa, what's wrong?" Kashiwagi Jin asked curiously.

"No, nothing, just a little envious." Kashiwagi Misa, questioned by her husband, immediately blushed and hastily lowered her head.

"——————Nothing to be envious about." Kashiwagi Jin was stunned by his wife's words, but then immediately put on a stern face, feeling very displeased inside.

On one side, they had not been intimate for a long time, and moreover, knowing all about him, she no longer regarded him as an idol and glory.

On the other side, "Mr. Kashiwagi, you are truly not inferior to the Uesugi Chief," Nagase Arisu, who adored him completely, said to him.

Kashiwagi Jin thought, Misa is truly————really not as good as Nanaumi, nor as good as Arisu.

Did I make a mistake by marrying her so early back then?

Our Old Ren's good mood today was instantly halved.

And just at this moment, the next round of performance began again.

A familiar tune sounded, and countless bubbles and paper airplanes appeared on the stage!

It turned out to be due to the connection of National Diet Member Yuasa Masamichi, the YKC48 subunit Namba 48 of Kansai Yoshimoto Kogyo's Unmovable C, Yamamoto Sayaka, appeared kindly! She held a guitar and began to sing and play the widely known song "365 Days of Paper Airplanes".

Everyone erupted in applause, this "Sayaka-sister" is indeed the idol giant of Kansai and a key protected artist of Yoshimoto, and being able to personally come here to sing is considered a friendly gesture from Kansai Yoshimoto Kogyo.

After the paper airplane song ended, then came the famous female manzai duo from Kobe, consisting of Mori Nana Mi and her daughter Wakaba Mutsubairu, who performed the "Kobe Fast Talk" as Motisu.

"We'll do the fast talk, we won't brag about anything else, today we come specially to praise and praise the Uesugi Forensic Pathologist of Kanto!"

"Hey, coming to that Kobe卫, you haven't even learned it!"

"Alright, alright~"

The performance of the mother and daughter duo caused the whole venue to burst into laughter.

Finally, the Kyoto old band AUV—MUJICA reappeared, performing a piece "Celestial Sphere Music".

And as everyone sang the final grand chorus, this grand wedding banquet was also about to officially lower its curtain.

Amid countless streamers, flower petals, and pink rain, everyone bestowed their final blessings upon the newlywed couple Uesugi Muneyuki and Uesugi Minami.

Unforgettable Tonight~Send into the bridal chamber!
