Chapter 442: Use Your Smart Brain to Think of a Way
On Monday, all the students spent the day listlessly.
After two days of weekend rest, suddenly being pulled back from the holiday naturally requires everyone time to adjust; this situation repeats almost every week. Even though they know school is on Monday, when they lack energy, they still lack energy.
"Oh! School is finally over!"
Nagi Sanzenin, who had been listless all day, instantly perked up.
"Little Nagi, you only have energy after school."
Shijuru no Miyami Izumi sighed.
"How to put it... this school just has this kind of atmosphere. Early in the morning, everyone's spirits are not very good; it's clearly that feeling of having played well over the weekend and then suddenly being pulled back to school. Yesterday, absolutely many of them stayed up all night."
As a major stay-up-all-night household, Nagi Sanzenin was very certain.
"Mmm~~~"
Saying this, she changed her posture lying on the sofa and casually pulled the blanket covering herself.
"Clearly we are inside the school, so why is the atmosphere here so sleep-inducing?"
"It's the atmosphere."
Ren Amamiya, sitting at the round table and fiddling with tarot cards, turned his head and replied.
"Nagi Sanzenin, actually you prefer the atmosphere with many people, don't you?"
"... When there are many people, it's troublesome."
She refuted that it was troublesome, but did not refute that she liked the atmosphere with many people.
Actually, Nagi Sanzenin herself felt that perhaps she truly did like this kind of atmosphere with many people; compared to being by friends' sides, home felt too desolate.
Ren Amamiya watched Nagi Sanzenin as she turned to the side to sleep.
"Troublesome? Perhaps the you of the past was a very big trouble, because the heir of the Sanzenin family was not determined, and the Sanzenin family's vast fortune was also a very big problem. But is it still a problem now?"
Listening, Nagi Sanzenin suddenly sat up from the sofa; she looked at Ren Amamiya with slight surprise and shock.
"Could it be that old man made a move? But neither Maria nor I told the old man."
"Could it be Sakuya?"
Ren Amamiya shook his head slightly.
"I think Miss Sakuya should not tell anyone our situation. She herself knows some things are not very suitable for her to say; if you do not say this matter, no other person is suitable. And that old man will not listen to others speak; he should only be waiting for you to tell him."
"However, that old man should have already felt what you want to do, so he changed some strategies; instead of choosing to let you roam free, he directly selected you as the heir."
"At the moment that decision was made, your safety has already been guaranteed. Because continuing assassinations would be provoking that old man; perhaps as soon as they started acting, someone had already marked the person preparing to act with a price no one could refuse."
The normal human world is just like this; as long as there is money, it can truly solve many problems.
And if there are problems that cannot be solved, mostly it is just that the money has not arrived yet.
Besides, even in mysterious stories, many things can also be solved with money. For example, that 5-pound ambassador.
It can be said that money's role is truly quite large; it is not that people of the Secret World do not lack money; in fact, most ordinary extraordinary beings lack money.
It's just that, in this world, people possessing extraordinary abilities are truly quite rare.
Perhaps among ordinary tycoons, the strongest cognition is only those few; the former Shijuru no Miyami might have been among them.
Therefore, Sanzenin Tei, that world-class tycoon, has enough principles and reasons to make those who harbor evil intentions never see the sun of the second day.
This is what caused Nagi Sanzenin's current relaxed daily life.
"Your current state is undoubtedly safe. Additionally, with the elemental power you possess, ordinary kidnappers are simply training partners delivered to the door. Considering the opponent might be armed, you only need to consider not killing the opponent. Broken arms, broken legs might even be deemed self-defense."
"In that case, wouldn't I be exposed?"
This sentence drew Ren Amamiya's laughter; he then pointed to Shijuru no Miyami sitting right beside her.
"Exposed to what? The fact that Shijuru no Miyami is a shrine maiden is no secret. Your relationship with Shijuru no Miyami does not allow Shijuru no Miyami to give you something for self-protection?"
"Ask and I say I have self-protection items. After you bring up this reason, do you think those assassins or kidnappers still have a reason to live?"
"Even if the judge will not directly declare their death penalty, many high officials, to guarantee Shijuru no Miyami's safety, will personally order those fools killed."
"Those high officials know Shijuru no Miyami's value too well. Could it be that a few assassins would threaten Shijuru no Miyami's safety? That would be truly terrible."
Shijuru no Miyami was just an example; Ren Amamiya, considering whether Nagi Sanzenin could accept it, gave another example.
"It is not only Shijuru no Miyami's influence, but also your own influence. Will your grandfather allow someone to threaten your safety? Especially after someone might guess your secret, your grandfather should be the first one to silence them."
Thinking in this direction, Nagi Sanzenin also felt the old man would truly do this.
Whether because of the reason of Yi Cheng or the reason of her grandfather, her secret will not be exposed. But if solving this problem more simply, perhaps it only requires her...
"Nagi Sanzenin."
"Hmm?"
Subconsciously looking up, Nagi Sanzenin saw a cocked index finger; then the fingernail directly hit her forehead, and she immediately felt a trace of pain.
But before she could react, a hand has already pressed down on her head.
"It is not yet time for you to make a resolution. A thirteen-year-old child does not need to bear the responsibility of life, especially for you who are scared and trembling even in the darkness."
These words directly made Nagi Sanzenin completely shut down.
They were words of concern. But the way of reasoning made her feel a bit of a headache.
"I understand..."
Reluctantly agreeing, Nagi Sanzenin was not someone who would only reject others' good intentions.
"However, I cannot always be like this, right?"
Of course, Nagi Sanzenin believed it was still necessary to take on the responsibilities she needed to bear; moreover, she was already no longer an ordinary wealthy heir.
She had already seen the dark corner of human nature; whether for self-protection or for other reasons, perhaps when that day truly comes, she will not be able to resist dealing a ruthless blow to some people; at that time, she does not wish to still be timid and hesitant.
Ren Amamiya did not forcibly suppress this topic either; he just felt that Nagi Sanzenin could not bear it now; this does not mean he thinks Nagi Sanzenin can never bear the weight of life. It is just now; this process will bring a great burden to the psyche.
"At least wait until Fujiwara's sequence rises to Sequence 7, Psychiatrist. At that time, even if you have psychological problems, Fujiwara can help you relieve the psychological pressure."
Ren Amamiya proposed a reasonable restriction: taking another person's life must at least wait until Fujiwara reaches Sequence 7 before it can be done.
Regarding this restriction, Nagi Sanzenin thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"And before that, Ren?"
Ren Amamiya stroked Nagi Sanzenin's smooth hair.
"Use your clever mind to think about how to completely destroy an enemy's ability to act without killing them. Additionally, you need a way to conceal the power of wind. What do you think of the choice of swordsmanship?"
The clever Nagi Sanzenin immediately understood the meaning of these words, and a smile instantly appeared on her face.
"Indeed, that is a good idea!"
