Chapter 26: Kaguya Sigong Locked On

"Ha~"

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Tsunomiya Ichou finally woke from her sleep.

The exhausting ordeal of the entire day yesterday was too much physical strain for a 13-year-old child.

Tsunomiya Ichou is an exorcist, but aside from spiritual power, she is not much different from an ordinary girl in other aspects.

Naturally, her physical strength is the same too.

Coming to the hall, she saw a red palm print on Nagi Sanzenin's face, as well as Nagi's eyes which were still somewhat red.

This made her face filled with incomprehension, yet she asked with concern.

"Nagi, what happened to you?"

"Nothing, hiss... nothing happened, I was just too excited when I got up early and bumped into something."

While saying it was nothing, Nagi Sanzenin kept sucking in cold air, as if speaking made the palm print on her face hurt a bit more.

"This doesn't look like nothing; it looks more like being slapped."

But this thought was more like a joke; could it be that Young Lady Maria was the one who gave this slap?

Tsunomiya Ichou denied this possibility and finally believed Nagi's words, that she was too excited and bumped into something.

"Nagi, even if you gained special power, no matter how excited you are, you cannot be so impulsive when getting out of bed."

"I... I just do it occasionally."

Seeing Ichou's face full of worry and blame made Nagi Sanzenin even less able to speak.

At this moment, Maria pushed the food cart over.

"Young Lady Ichou, milk tea has been brewed for the morning; would you like a cup?"

"Thank you for your trouble, Young Lady Maria."

Tsunomiya Ichou took a beautiful sip of the milk tea; the milky aroma and black tea blended perfectly, making her just-awakened mind a bit clearer.

"Nagi, did you not have the bodyguards pay attention to whether there was anyone else besides you whose reaction was particularly strong?"

"Of course I had people pay attention to that."

When talking about serious matters, Nagi Sanzenin immediately perked up.

Although she still often made "hiss hiss" sounds with her mouth, her attention had indeed shifted away from the pain.

"The bodyguards said that only the Suzuki and Kaguya Sigong families entered the amusement park yesterday."

"Suzuki and Kaguya Sigong?"

"However, Suzuki's suspicion has been ruled out."

"Why?"

"The Suzuki family's second Young Lady actually came to accompany a friend; it seems she was worried about her friend's date with Kudo Shinichi that day."

Tsunomiya Ichou made an "oh" sound and understood the whole story.

Yesterday she had formally met that Gao Zhongsheng detective named "Kudo Shinichi," but only in a photo, and moreover, in an image of him turned into a child.

Now she had one question.

"How can someone on a date with a person get hit by a strange organization member with a stick and then be forced to drink medicine?"

Hmm, this is a profound question.

In Tsunomiya Ichou's thinking, since it was a date with a girl out, the attention should logically be entirely on the girl.

"That's exactly right; as a passerby, I can fully understand the reason why the Suzuki second Young Lady was worried for her friend."

Nagi Sanzenin also understood very well at this moment.

If one considers the problem starting from the result, the Suzuki second Young Lady's worry was simply prophetic.

Perhaps the Suzuki second Young Lady knew too well that Kudo Shinichi had a nature prone to causing trouble, which is why she appeared in the amusement park yesterday.

"According to the information obtained by the bodyguards, in the end, it was the Suzuki family's car that sent her friend home."

"Leaving the date partner behind, seeing danger and instead rushing forward without regard for one's own safety... it seems Mr. Kudo Shinichi's situation is not much different from the description you saw in your diary yesterday, Nagi."

The situation is understandable, but if one is the person involved, it is unacceptable.

Tsunomiya Ichou believed Kudo Shinichi was definitely not a bad person; it's just that he indeed tends to ignore the feelings of those around him, especially with a personality that rushes forward even when knowing there is danger.

A person with the ability to face problems can naturally be said to have both courage and strategy.

But a person without the ability to solve problems is merely brave but unwise.

"Since you know there is danger, the first thing you should do is choose to call the police."

"The roller coaster murder case was resolved, yet there were still police at the scene and around it; he didn't even have the thought of running over to tell the police a word. How much does Mr. Kudo Shinichi distrust the police's ability?"

After sighing, Tsunomiya Ichou returned to the main topic.

"Since it wasn't Suzuki, then it must be Kaguya Sigong?"

"Yes, I think it is most likely Kaguya Sigong without a doubt."

At this moment, Maria also timely took out some photos; the content of the photos was a recreational vehicle whose shell was still covered in ice.

Tsunomiya Ichou took them and looked, and immediately understood.

"The time of the photo was after noon, almost the same time as Nagi's lottery draw."

"Young Lady Kaguya Sigong, just like Nagi, obtained special power; in fact, Young Lady Kaguya Sigong's power was even more uncontrollable than Nagi's, to the point that even the entire vehicle was frozen by ice."

Besides the ice-frozen recreational vehicle, the photos also included the time of the photo.

This was ironclad evidence; it could almost be confirmed that the eldest Young Lady of the Kaguya Sigong family had also obtained special power.

"Then, what does Nagi plan to do?"

"Hehe~ Of course, go find the Kaguya Sigong family's eldest Young Lady to chat."

"Planning to reveal the truth?"

Tsunomiya Ichou tilted her head.

"But will such methods benefit Nagi?"

"Yes."

Nagi Sanzenin puffed out her chest and admitted it openly.

"You, me, and Maria aren't suited for gathering intelligence — if we're exposed, it wouldn't be appropriate, but sending someone else is fine."

She couldn't help but grin mischievously.

With ironclad evidence in hand, one could prove that the other party had obtained a special ability; as long as you took the evidence and negotiated with them, you'd most likely get a positive result.

"Mm… Nagi, that's not a very good idea, you know."

"The school Young Lady Sigong currently attends is Shuchiin Academy."

"Although historically it isn't as long-established as Bai Huang, and its strength is far inferior to Bai Huang, it is still a Sigong family enterprise — Nagi can't just say a couple of words and have Young Lady Sigong obediently transfer schools."

"Even if she herself agreed, the Sigong family probably wouldn't."

Isumi Shironomiya understood this point perfectly well.

Since even Isumi Shironomiya understood this reasoning, how could Nagi Sanzenin not know it?

"Hehe~ Naturally, I know this point."

When Nagi Sanzenin confirmed that the person who obtained the diary was Kaguya Sigong, she had already had Maria conduct a corresponding investigation, and naturally also learned about the internal situation of the Sigong family.

"That's exactly why we need to go meet that eldest young lady of the Sigong family."
