Chapter 22 Hidden Interests
“I know the granddaughter of Emperor Sanzenin, but the other Saginomiya… is her family very mysterious?”
“Yes, very mysterious.”
Suzuki Shiro is very sure of this, and he has also obtained corresponding evidence.
“Saginomiya is a shrine maiden family. In the past, the main business of the family was the work of shrine maidens, which is to say, the work of exorcism.”
“Shiro, are you sure that your mind is normal?”
“I also got this guess through a lot of evidence. Don’t make me sound like an idiot who casually believes in the existence of such things.”
Tomoko’s reaction is also normal. In fact, he himself felt puzzled when he deduced this result.
But the more he investigated in that direction, the more he felt the mystery of Saginomiya.
“According to my investigation, the Self-Defense Forces often come to Saginomiya for some things.”
“The Self-Defense Forces… will come to Saginomiya for something?”
Suzuki Tomoko really didn’t understand what was going on.
Try to recall the situation of Saginomiya. The Saginomiya she knew was a family that operated some food, wine, beverages and tea.
The business of the Saginomiya family alone should not attract the attention of the Self-Defense Force.
“Not only the Self-Defense Force, but also the top two, famous priests, Onmyoji and the public security of the island country.”
“In addition, some politicians often visit Saginomiya and ask Saginomiya to help solve some problems.”
“If it is not that the industry operated by Saginomiya itself is helpful to those people, then it is the identity hidden behind Saginomiya that those people are concerned about.”
“… This sounds strange.”
Listening to Shiro’s explanation, Suzuki Tomoko also felt a little strange.
The scale of Saginomiya’s industries in the island country is not small, but it is not to the point where it can help many politicians.
“However, are you sure just because of this reason?”
“Shiro, are you a little arbitrary this time?”
“No.”
Suzuki Shiro shook his head slightly. He never looked at some things arbitrarily.
“In fact, there is a lot of evidence to prove that Henigimiya is extraordinary.”
“Those politicians pay attention to him, and even those well-known priests have to treat Henigimiya with respect.”
“And according to my investigation, the industries controlled by Henigimiya account for 50% of the entire island country.”
“No one will compete with Henigimiya for that 50%, as if that part was deliberately left to Henigimiya.”
As a businessman, he has a very detached feeling in business, otherwise he would not have taken over the responsibility of the helmsman of the Suzuki family and raised the Suzuki family to its current height in the past ten years.
So he can be more sure that Henigimiya’s industries are what the island country allows.
No more, no less than 50%.
These wealth are enough for Henigimiya to always occupy the position of the top family in the island country.
Even Sanzenin may be shaken, but only Henigimiya cannot be shaken.
It’s like a rule.
This makes him feel the mystery of Henigimiya.
“This… sounds a bit weird.”
The information summarized by Shiro must be the result of a serious investigation, which makes SuzukiTomoko could also sense the weirdness of this.
She somewhat understood why Shirou began to feel the mystery of Sagi no Miya.
In this situation, the treatment Sagi no Miya was given was obviously a bit beyond the norm.
And Sagi no Miya was not well-known among ordinary people, so this was a big problem.
“A Sanzenin, a mysterious Sagi no Miya… Shirou, why do you think Sanzenin did this?”
“This question… I don’t know either.”
Faced with Tomoko’s question, although Suzuki Shirou wanted to explain it, he really didn’t know.
“Then what did you say just now so beautifully?”
“… I was just analyzing the surface situation for you. How would I know about the relationship between two thirteen-year-old girls and a sixteen-year-old girl?”
“But, there is one thing I can be sure of, there is a certain interest relationship behind Sanzenin’s decision to take action against Shinomiya. I guess there is still some kind of agreement between Sanzenin Nagi and Shinomiya Kaguya.”
“Could it be… Sanzenin Emperor’s granddaughter is going to help Shinomiya Kaguya seize power?”
“Well… this possibility does exist.”
After being said by Tomoko, Suzuki Shiro also felt that such a possibility exists, and it seems to be quite high.
However, there is a problem with this logic.
“But why?”
“What does Sanzenin have? That child can easily get whatever he wants, why would he inexplicably help Shinomiya Kaguya seize power?”
This question is indeed difficult to answer.
Sanzenin Nagi can have everything, there is no reason to help a Shinomiya Kaguya seize power.
Suzuki Shiro instinctively feels that the reason behind this is very important.
Unfortunately, the information available is limited, and it is difficult to make an analysis under such circumstances.
“We can only wait and see.”
“If Sanzenin Nagi’s purpose is to help Shinomiya Kaguya seize power, then Shinomiya Kaguya should have completed the agreement after seizing power.”
As he said this, Suzuki Shiro loosened the tie around his neck.
“We need to understand this purpose in detail.”
“Do you need it?”
“Yes, it is very necessary.”
Suzuki Shiro was very serious at this moment.
“I think there should be an important reason behind this.”
“In any case, the power rotation within Shinomiya is actually very important to us.”
“Properly investigate the situation.”
“It is also good to know the reason.”
After so many years of business, he could feel that the agreement between the two girls might be very important.
It was so important that Sanzenin Nagi was willing to ask Sanzenin Emperor to put pressure on Shinomiya.
Suppressing the irritable mood of wanting to get an answer, all Suzuki Shiro could do now was to investigate and wait.
“I’m back.”
Just when the couple was silent, the sound of their daughter coming back also woke them up.
“Dad, Mom, why are you frowning in the living room?”
Suzuki Sonoko, who had just returned home, saw her parents sitting in the living room with frowns and was a little curious.
“Is it a business matter?”
“Go away, what are you doing?As soon as you get home, you think something will happen to our business?”
Suzuki Tomoko rolled her eyes at Sonoko.
“You ran out early yesterday morning, and you ran out early this morning. Tell me, where did you go?”
Although Sonoko and her husband are relaxed about their management, sometimes they want to know where this child ran to.
“Of course I accompanied Xiaolan.”
“Yesterday, Xiaolan and that guy Kudo went to Dorabiga Paradise to play. I went there early to check out their situation.”
“I didn’t realize that Dorabiga Paradise is quite popular before. Not only Xiaolan likes it, but another big ice cube also likes it.”
“Big ice cube? You have such a friend?”
Suzuki Tomoko looked at Sonoko in surprise.
“Ah, I’m talking about Kaguya Shinomiya.”
“Doesn’t she keep a frozen face all day? I feel cold when I stand next to her, so I call her Big Ice Cube. ”
