Chapter 409: Instinctive Closeness

Even if one stood in that old man's shoes and viewed the problem from his perspective, it would still feel like a massive headache.

He tried his best to protect the only normal person in the family, yet there were so many mentally unstable people in the house rushing up to play the victim.

Kaguya Sigong felt a bit of sympathy for the pillar of the few normal people in the Kaguya family; that old man Kaguya Goro must have been filled with helplessness throughout his past life.

"How did Kaguya Young Lady react?"

"She resisted fiercely. And when Kaguya Ichiro committed the assault, she used Ren Amamiya's power to pierce both of his hands with her high heels and even stomped and broke the bones in both hands."

Kaguya Sigong expressed approval for such behavior.

"Hmm, this is the reaction of a normal person."

"Knowing they are close relatives, one should keep a certain distance. How can someone who has entered university still be so naive?"

Science has its logic.

Science forbids inbreeding because the side effects of close relatives are quite significant; often, the offspring suffer from many genetic defects.

Kaguya Sigong now really wants to know how Kaguya Ichiro even managed to attend university.

Even if it were an art university, one should at least have basic scientific common sense, right?

"Once we get off the ship, hand over the person and the evidence to the police. Attempted murder is obvious; with clear evidence, there is almost no chance of overturning it."

For matters like this, if there is enough legitimacy, just follow the proper judicial process.

As for the result, there is truly no need to think about it.

After this incident, Kaguya Sigong does not believe that old man will still have kind thoughts toward these family members; I suspect that once off the ship, he will completely cut ties with them.

As for Kaguya Xia Jiang.

"Hayasaka, make a note of this Kaguya Young Lady."

"If this Kaguya Young Lady proves useful to Ren Amamiya in the future, help her out."

Suddenly, Kaguya Sigong paused, glanced at Ren Amamiya who was still sleeping, then turned and leaned close to Hayasaka.

"Do you think this Kaguya Young Lady will become a believer of Ren Amamiya?"

Hayasaka Ai already had the answer in her heart long ago.

"Not believing is because one has never witnessed it."

"But precisely because she has experienced it personally, I believe Kaguya Young Lady will become Ren Amamiya's most loyal believer."

Whether one can become a believer actually has only one standard of judgment: do you believe?

What can make one believe in the existence of the mysterious more than personally experiencing the mysterious?

Therefore, Hayasaka Ai was very certain that Kaguya Xia Jiang, having personally experienced that power, would become Ren Amamiya's believer, and a very loyal one at that.

Since that is the case, helping out is no problem.

Although Hayasaka said this was merely a spare move by Ren Amamiya, if necessary, even a spare move is a kind of advance preparation; who knows, there might be an emergency.

Most importantly, this is a place where she can help. This point is very important to Kaguya Sigong.

Just at that moment, Fujiwara Chika, who had been sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly sat up.

"Ren Amamiya..."

Her dazed expression indicated she was in a state between sleep and wakefulness, but due to the influence she suffered yesterday, subconsciously she instinctively sought the person who made her feel safe; her gaze automatically searched and automatically locked onto that person.

Her hazy consciousness made her directly throw off the quilt covering her body; barefoot and wearing only her nightgown, she wobbled over to the single sofa where Ren Amamiya was.

She habitually pressed down on her nightgown, then immediately plopped down onto Ren Amamiya's lap, her body straining to lean against him, her head resting against his neck, and her legs curling up beside his legs.

Every movement was as if she had practiced it long ago, completely seamless, making Kaguya Sigong feel as if she had been struck by lightning.

"I... she... she..."

Kaguya Sigong was so angry she couldn't catch her breath for a moment.

Hayasaka Ai quickly stepped forward and covered the mouth of the about-to-explode Kaguya Sigong.

"Calm down, Young Lady Kaguya. After all, Young Lady Fujiwara just went through a major incident. According to Ren Amamiya, there were very serious side effects and contamination; Young Lady Fujiwara was also frightened."

These words barely kept Kaguya Sigong in a calm state.

But seeing that woman, whose nutrition all seemed concentrated in her chest, curling up and leaning against Ren Amamiya's embrace, her whole body couldn't stop trembling.

I haven't even done such a thing yet!

She has already formally confessed her love to Ren Amamiya; only his response is missing.

Yet this woman, who is merely a prospective girlfriend, hasn't even done such a thing, but this woman Fujiwara snatched the chance first. How could Kaguya Sigong not be angry? She was about to die of anger!

At this moment, Ren Amamiya, who was asleep, felt something heavy on his body, and a warm, ticklish sensation on his neck, causing him to instinctively open his eyes to take a look.

But just one look froze his entire body right there.

"???"

Fujiwara?

Looking down, he saw this person sitting on his lap, her body leaning directly into his embrace, and her head resting on his shoulder.

This situation made Ren Amamiya's whole body stiffen.

Shifting his gaze, he saw Hayasaka and Kaguya standing over there, looking at him.

Ren Amamiya truly didn't understand what was going on; he pointed at Fujiwara in his arms with his left hand.

"What's the situation?"

Having witnessed firsthand how Ren Amamiya was in such a predicament, Hayasaka felt a slight sympathy; sleeping on the sofa was already uncomfortable, and then Fujiwara pulled this stunt.

Hayasaka Ai was certain this was absolutely not intentional on Fujiwara's part; this woman would never be so bold, especially in front of her and Young Lady Kaguya.

Regarding this, Hayasaka Ai walked over slowly.

"Young Lady Fujiwara seems to have instinctively sought you out upon waking, Ren Amamiya."

"..."

The corner of Ren Amamiya's mouth twitched; this was indeed a very unexpected situation, but at this moment, it was very easy for Fujiwara to do such a thing.
