Chapter 134: Darkness Under the Lamp

"Chika, you go put your luggage away first; your maternal grandfather and I want to have a good discussion about your father's affairs."

The old man's gentle voice made Chika Fujiwara agree immediately.

"Hmm, then I'll go put the luggage away first."

"I'll come down later to talk to Grandpa and maternal grandfather."

The smile on the old man's face grew a bit more.

Look, his granddaughter is so sensible.

After seeing his obedient granddaughter off, when the old man shifted his gaze to his son, his gaze was not so kind.

"You brat, how are you doing things?"

"???"

Daichi Fujiwara looked at his father in a daze; he didn't know where he had gone wrong again?

"Dad means, why didn't you investigate Chika's school transfer clearly."

Looking at her husband's daze, Wan Sui, as the daughter-in-law of the Fujiwara family, reminded her husband.

"Didn't you feel strange at the beginning?"

"Why could an ordinary private high school attract the attention of the Shinomiya family's children, and even attract the attention of the Sanzenin family's children?"

Daichi Fujiwara was also scratching his hair in a daze.

"I did investigate, but didn't I get an accurate answer?"

"It's very strange that Sanzenin is the pusher of the Shinomiya family's affairs."

"Huangchengcheng's ability is not bad, but he was easily usurped, and even Emperor Sanzenin spoke out personally."

"I have investigated Kaguya, but her connection with Nagi Sanzenin makes me feel more like a sudden behavior."

Wan Sui Fujiwara was not doubting her husband's investigative ability.

Since the investigation in this regard had been done, and no specific conclusion could be obtained, it meant that there were some secrets between them.

"Even if you don't speculate from the results, you know that there is a secret connection between them."

"Then, did you investigate the club that Chika participated in?"

Daichi Fujiwara nodded slightly.

"I have investigated this, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to let Chika participate in outdoor club activities."

"What about the specific members of the club?"

"I also investigated."

Daichi Fujiwara also investigated the main members of the club very clearly.

"The second daughter of the Suzuki family, Sonoko Suzuki, her childhood sweetheart who grew up playing with her, Ran Mouri, the heir of the Sanzenin family, Nagi Sanzenin, and the strongest shrine maiden of the shrine maiden family, Isumi Saginomiya."

"Then there is Kaguya Shinomiya and her exclusive maid Hayasaka Ai, and then our daughter and a boy."

Wan Sui raised an eyebrow; was there no investigation about that boy?

She couldn't help but ask.

"What about that boy?"

"Boy... according to my investigation, that boy is a very ordinary boy."

Daichi Fujiwara thought about it; he had investigated the boy's information and could almost be sure that the boy was a very ordinary boy.

"Grew up in an orphanage, had no particularly outstanding points, didn't like socializing, didn't talk much usually, and almost didn't have a single friend."

"After the orphanage closed during junior high school, he had been working outside, making a living while studying."

"Since high school, he rented a house where a large murder case had occurred, and has lived there until now."

"That boy's encounter is not very good, but that boy has no problems, whether it's his lifestyle or character."

Seeing that her husband still hadn't reacted, Wan Sui Fujiwara was helpless.

The old man looked at his son in astonishment, and even the maternal grandfather looked at his usually clever son-in-law speechlessly.

"You blockhead, don't you think it's wrong for such a male to appear in a pile of young ladies?"

"In a club where everyone has status and background, just one person's status is so ordinary, so normal, don't you think it's abnormal?"

"Where is your brain?"

"Did you eat it yourself?"

Daichi Fujiwara was stunned, and then he reacted.

"Because Teitan High School is a private school, I thought he was just an ordinary student participating in the club."

The two old men were speechless.

Who would have thought that this blockhead could cause a darkness under the lamp because of such things.

However, thinking carefully, the boy's situation is indeed very ordinary; at first glance, he is a typical ordinary person.

His identity and background are quite clean, he has no complex social life, he is just an ordinary student.

He didn't even have any intersection with anyone.

The key is that he himself was promoted to Teitan High School normally, without any questions.

The only question is that he participated in the club, and there were too many young ladies with status and background in the club.

However, the two old men also knew that putting such a thing on anyone, it was actually impossible to react immediately.

After all, the school investigated was not a special aristocratic school, but a very ordinary private school.

At most, this school had one more child from a wealthy family, named Sonoko Suzuki.

They could react, actually, it was a reverse inference after starting from the result.

After all, they couldn't imagine that their granddaughter, as well as Kaguya Shinomiya and Nagi Sanzenin who transferred to Teitan High School, were all gathered there because of mystery.

If they had known earlier, the two old men also believed that their son should have been able to determine immediately how extraordinary the ordinary boy in the club was.

"Forget it, some things can't be blamed on you."

The old man sighed, considering that the boy's ordinary appearance was too deceptive, it was normal not to react immediately.

Even the old man felt that his son's reaction was already fast, at least he had investigated the boy's information up and down.

But it was precisely because he had investigated the boy's situation up and down that he was confused by the investigated information, which caused the mistake in his thinking.

"If we had known beforehand, we would have already known about the boy's problem before you."

"We can bring it up now, also because the connection between them has been known to us."

Mystery, this is the real reason why the granddaughter and Kaguya Shinomiya and the others are together.

The old man was sure that his granddaughter transferred schools because of Kaguya Shinomiya, but the reason afterwards might have changed.

After mixing in the seasoning of mystery, one can understand why a boy with such a clean background and identity could participate in a club of young ladies with a lot of status and background.

Perhaps that boy, besides his identity and background being a bit ordinary, was not ordinary at all in other places.
