Chapter 56: Leave Request and Transfer to Another School

In the student council office of Shuchiin Academy.

As student council president, Shirogane Miyuki instinctively glanced at the seat that originally belonged to Vice President Kaguya Sigong.

"Hmm..."

A slightly irritable mood made him unable to resist tapping his fingers on the desk.

"President, what's wrong with you today? You seem very irritable."

Ishigami Yuu, who was working on the student council's planning reports, sensed the president's emotional fluctuation and, puzzled, looked in the direction the president was facing.

"Ah, you're thinking about the vice president."

"Ahem! Ishigami, I'm mainly worried about Kaguya's situation; she has been on leave for three days."

"Hmm... so the president didn't know."

Shirogane Miyuki instinctively sat up straight.

"Ishigami, do you happen to know the reason Kaguya took leave?"

"Not only do I know; almost everyone in Shuchiin Academy, from top to bottom, knows the reason the vice president took leave."

"Before, I thought the president also knew about this matter, so I didn't say anything."

"I really am hearing this for the first time."

For the first time, Shirogane Miyuki felt how closed off his information channels were.

"However, does everyone in Shuchiin Academy, from top to bottom, know the reason Kaguya took leave?"

He felt this matter was a bit strange.

Why does everyone in Shuchiin Academy, from top to bottom, know, yet he is completely unaware?

"Ishigami, can you explain this part in more detail?"

"Oh, sure."

Ishigami Yuu nodded slightly and temporarily set the computer aside.

"Actually, the matter is very simple; mainly, some changes occurred within the Kaguya family a few days ago."

"At that time, a certain force was suppressing all of the Kaguya family's businesses."

"Not only in the business world, but even the political sphere began to launch successive suppressions against the Kaguya family."

"Then, the Kaguya family should be able to resist, right? The Kaguya family is so huge..."

"No, the Kaguya family was almost suffocated by the suppression in an instant."

"That's so exaggerated!"

The surprise on Shirogane Miyuki's face could not be concealed.

Since enrolling, after learning about Kaguya Sigong, he had always heard topics about how huge the Kaguya family's scale was.

He never expected the Kaguya family to be knocked into suffocation all at once.

Tension followed immediately.

"Kaguya, did she choose to take leave all this time because of the family's changes?"

"You could say so."

Ishigami Yuu thought for a moment and then nodded.

"The vice president did take leave because of the family's changes, but the reason might be different from what the president knows."

"Different?"

Shirogane Miyuki looked at Ishigami, confused.

"What happened to the Kaguya family is now confirmed to be done by Nanguai Society."

"As for why Nanguai Society did this, it is said that the vice president was the mastermind behind it."

"Nanguai Society..."

This surname represents a scale larger than the Kaguya family; Shirogane Miyuki felt he was about to be bombarded by these surnames.

The surname Nanguai Society is also a super-wealthy noble surname.

However, what made him feel his head was exploding even more was what Ishigami said: that the matter behind the Kaguya family was still planned by Kaguya herself.

"The matter behind the Kaguya family was still planned by Kaguya?"

"Ishigami, are you sure you aren't joking with me?"

"Of course not."

Ishigami Yuu raised his hand to make a promise.

"What I said are things that have already happened, and moreover, they are news that has spread everywhere; it must be true."

"However, saying the vice president planned the matter behind the scenes, I think it means the vice president and Nanguai Society made some kind of agreement."

"It's just that there are actually many controversies regarding the terms of this agreement."

"Why?"

"Because it's unnecessary."

"Nanguai Society's scale far exceeds the Kaguya family's; Nanguai Society has no need to make some agreement with the vice president just to obtain the Kaguya family's submission."

"Indeed."

Shirogane Miyuki thought carefully and also understood.

Nanguai Society could suppress the Kaguya family at will, even easily force the Kaguya family to the point of suffocation; with such strength, there was indeed no need to make any agreement with the Kaguya family.

No wonder controversy arose.

"I'm afraid only Kaguya herself knows the reason behind this."

Shirogane Miyuki did not dwell on this point.

"And then?"

"And then, naturally, the internal heir of the Kaguya Sigong family was changed to the vice president."

"The reason the vice president took leave these past two days should be that she's still reorganizing the internal structure of the Kaguya Sigong family."

"I see."

With this, the reason Kaguya took three days off could be understood.

Shirogane Miyuki suddenly froze.

"Doesn't this mean that right now, Kaguya is in control of the entire Kaguya Sigong family?"

"That's right."

Ishigami Yu affirmed the president's statement.

"Because of Sanzenin's suppression, the internal heir of the Kaguya Sigong family has already been replaced by the vice president."

"So now, the entire Kaguya Sigong family actually already belongs to the vice president."

"This… all happened in just three days?"

At this moment, Shirogane Miyuki felt his whole body go rigid.

In the past, he had felt that by studying desperately, he could compete with Kaguya and prove he was stronger than her.

But now? It seemed the gap between him and Kaguya had suddenly widened to an entire world.

"This is bad!!!"

Just as Shirogane Miyuki was beginning to doubt himself, the student council door was thrown open.

"Bam!"

"This is bad, president."

"I just got wind of some news — it seems Kaguya has transferred schools!"

"Eh?"

This sudden news caused Shirogane Miyuki's brain to crash.

Ishigami Yu was also caught off guard by the sudden information, left stunned.
