Cooperation Between the Shinomiya and Suou Families; The Shinomiyas' Ambition / Kaguya Shinomiya: "Do Evil Spirits and Supernatural Powers Really Exist?"

Chapter 246: The cooperation between the Shinomiya Family and Suo Family, Shinomiya Family who is eager to make progress

Obviously, the current auction house is the work of An Xiu.

In fact, strictly speaking, this auction house had nothing to do with An Xiu at first. Instead, it was formed naturally after An Xiu implemented the point currency system in the forces under his command, and various members of the forces exchanged interests with the Family behind them.

After all, if there is a transaction, there will be a market. What's more, due to the scarcity of points in the point currency system promoted by An Xiu, this currency, which is uniquely used among the forces under An Xiu, naturally has a high transaction value.

The members of the Family, who are large in size but lack points, need more points to exchange for rewards from An Xiu. However, the small members of the Family, who are small in size, do not have enough points in their hands. If you are not enough, you will not be able to exchange for the rewards you want from An Xiu for a while, so you will trade the points in your hand and turn them into real assets to expand your own strength, and then use this to make more contributions to An Xiu and obtain more points.

Such a circular trading system undoubtedly promoted the circulation of points, and also greatly stimulated the Passione of the members of An Xiu's forces. Therefore, An Xiu did not stop this phenomenon, but took over the current underground auction as a formal trading venue and opened it to the members of his forces.

Moreover, every three months, An Xiu will select a Devil Fruit plus a varying number of mass-produced versions of Ouroboros Potion and place them in the auction house for members of his forces to purchase.

In essence, it is no different from exchanging rewards directly from An Xiu. It just provides another channel for cashing out points for those members of the force who have not made much contribution and therefore cannot meet An Xiu to exchange their points for rewards.

Walking into the auction venue, since all the members of An Xiu's forces are basically either rich or noble, the current auction venue is naturally not a crowded seating arrangement, but is divided into different areas with just the right size. Each area has a relatively standard four to eight seats plus a table.

"Shinomiya Family Lord."

Looking at the many dignitaries who were smaller in number than before in the outside world, but whose weight was obviously higher, before Kaguya Shinomiya and others could take a look, a voice came from not far away.

Looking back, I saw an old man who looked about the same age as Ganan Shinomiya. Beside him sat a woman and a girl who looked about the same age as Kaguya Shinomiya.

"Master Suo Family, and Miss Yumi Suo."

Seeing this scene, Ganan Shinomiya nodded, then came and sat down next to the old man who spoke.

Oko Shinomiya and others also greeted the three people from the Suo Family and sat aside.

Suo Family...

While sitting down, Un'yo Shinomiya, Seiryu Shinomiya and Kaguya Shinomiya were also recalling the information about the Suo Family.

Suo Family, a family of diplomats, belongs to the old and powerful the Family of Tokyo Metropolis. Although the scale of the Family is far different from that of the Shinomiya Family, it still has a considerable weight.

Previously, the head of the Suo Family family was originally Yumi Suo, the woman who was sitting next to the old man who was talking to her father. But not long ago, for some unknown reason, the previous head of the family Suo Family suddenly took over the position of head of the family again and took charge of the overall situation.

Thinking about it now, I'm afraid it's because of the current situation, this weird underground auction house, the badge that my father showed before that represented the status of a member of the force, and the adult that my father mentioned before...

Thinking like this, Kaguya Shinomiya looked at the only peer present, the black-haired girl who was sitting on the other side of the Suo Family.

The girl seemed to have noticed Kaguya Shinomiya's gaze, and nodded towards Kaguya Shinomiya with a smile.

Yuki Suo, the eldest daughter of the Suo Family, will be the sole heir of the Suo Family in the future.

Out of courtesy, Kaguya Shinomiya also nodded to the other party.

Although the scale of the Suo Family is far different from that of the Shinomiya Family, judging from the way the father talked with the old head of the Suo Family not far away, the actual situation does not seem to be like this.

"As for the previous cooperation, I wonder how Shinomiya Family is thinking about it?"

The old owner of the Suo Family asked calmly.

In terms of the scale of the Family in reality, Suo Family who is a diplomat family is indeed not as good as Shinomiya Family who is a chaebol, but so what?

Suo Family, whose time of joining is second only to the Fujiwara Family, can be said to be the first to join the batch of the Family under that lord. His weight in the forces under that lord is much greater than that of the Shinomiya Family who just joined.

So what if Japan is one of the largest chaebols? Could it be that Shinomiya Family, who is also a member of that lord's force, dares to attack Suo Family and disrupt the order established by that lord?

Do you really think that the ubiquitous Shadow Troopers under that lord is a vegetarian?

As the master of the Shinomiya Family, Ganan Shinomiya is naturally not stupid. He and his eldest son Oko Shinomiya straightened their attitudes as soon as they led Shinomiya Family to join that adult's force.

Shinomiya Family needs to develop in a low profile for a period of time before it can gain enough weight among the forces under that lord's command.

Although the cooperation mentioned by the Suo Family's old family leader was brought up by the other party when Shinomiya Family first joined, even if the other party did not mention it, Ganan Shinomiya, who urgently needs to allow Shinomiya Family to gain a foothold in the power under that adult, will take the initiative to promote this cooperation after hearing about the situation.

"As discussed before, Shinomiya Family can lend the points in his hand to the Suo Family for use, and Suo Family needs to bring Kaguya with him when he takes his eldest daughter to meet the adult soon."

Ganan Shinomiya repeated in a deep voice the general content of the cooperation that the two parties had discussed before, and then glanced at Kaguya who was sitting not far away.

"We Shinomiya Family agree to this cooperation."

In response, the old owner of the Suo Family nodded.

The cooperation decision made by Ganan Shinomiya is undoubtedly wise. After all, even Japan's top chaebols like Shinomiya Family have joined that adult. It can be imagined that the entire Tokyo Metropolis is basically dominated by the forces under that adult.

And next, if no special circumstances arise, if the newly joined forces under that lord want to make meritorious deeds, they can only start to radiate their influence outside of Tokyo Metropolis, and make contributions in a cumulative way by conquering those small the Family outside Tokyo. It will be difficult to see sufficient results in a short period of time.

If you don't make enough contributions, you won't be qualified to meet that adult. If you haven't made meritorious service in front of that adult, you will never be able to gain a sufficient status in the forces under that adult.

Therefore, Shinomiya Family chose to borrow the help of the Suo Family to save the country through a curve to show his face in front of that adult.

With the points of the Shinomiya Family in the account, Suo Family can also compete for Devil Fruit that will appear in the auction this time.

Although you can also achieve your goal by meeting that adult, if you ask too many demands in one meeting, you will not lose your impression in front of that adult. After all, not everyone is Fujiwara Family. Not only did she give birth to a good daughter, but she also became the first member of that adult's command.

Chapter 247: Kaguya Shinomiya: Evil Spirit and extraordinary power really exist in this world?

"Serve tea to Master Shinomiya Family."

After the cooperation was reached, the old owner of the Suo Family immediately stopped a service staff who was walking in the auction venue and asked him to bring a pot of tea.

From the faint fragrance wafting in the air and the faint halo in the tea, you can tell that the tea sold in this auction is obviously extraordinary.

In fact, this is exactly the case. The current pot of tea is a kind of precious tea specially provided by the nobles in the KonoSuba world. It can grow in an environment rich in magical power. Not only is it of excellent quality, long-term drinking also has the effect of improving the level.

Of course, this so-called preciousness is only precious to ordinary people in the KonoSuba world. Even ordinary nobles can afford to drink it. It is not a problem for Artoria, a member of the royal family. At the request of An Xiu, he casually introduced hundreds of tons into the current daily world and sold it as a rarity to his powerful members.

For example, the pot of tea ordered by the Suo Family's hometown owner costs twenty points per pot, which is equivalent to 20 billion yen, and considering the scarcity of points, the actual value may be higher.

Even Shinomiya Family, who has a big family and business, and Suo Family, who joined An Xiu's forces relatively early, are considered luxury goods.

"It's amazing, I feel like my body relaxed instantly..."

Kaguya Shinomiya, who was given a cup of tea as a family member, noticed changes in his body the moment he drank the tea.

Not only has my mind become clearer than ever before, but my body also seems to be getting better.

The old owners of Ganan Shinomiya and Suo Family felt even more energetic after drinking tea.

"Good stuff, but a bit too expensive."

To be honest, as the head of the Shinomiya Family family, Ganan Shinomiya has not experienced what it feels like to be poor for an unknown amount of time.

But now, even though he has trillions of assets in reality, Shinomiya Family, who joined the forces under that lord relatively late and has no chance of making achievements for a while, is really short on points.

After all, all the points Shinomiya Family currently has on hand will be loaned to the Suo Family for use according to the terms of cooperation. If Suo Family's old family owner hadn't treated them, they really wouldn't be able to even order a pot of tea.

"Yuki, the auction here is about to begin. Go and chat with the little girl Shinomiya Family."

"I know, Grandpa."

Hearing his grandfather's words, Yuki Suo nodded.

To be honest, apart from her, the youngest person present could be her uncle, and she really didn't like the atmosphere here.

In contrast, Kaguya Shinomiya, the only girl of her own age at the scene, made her feel more familiar, and at least getting along with her would not be so tiring. Although strictly speaking, as the daughter of the Shinomiya Family, who is the same generation as her grandfather, Kaguya Shinomiya is one generation older than her.

"Let's go over there, Miss Kaguya. According to my grandfather's arrangements, we may have to spend a long time together in the future."

Very ladylike, she stood up and came to Kaguya Shinomiya. Yuki Suo said.

In response, Kaguya Shinomiya nodded silently.

When her father discussed cooperation with the Suo Family just now, he did not go behind the back of the two girls, so even Kaguya, who had no prior knowledge, clearly knew the content of the cooperation.

Kaguya Shinomiya had already expected that he would become a bargaining chip and would be sent to please someone in the future. After all, with the Shinomiya Family's environment and educational atmosphere, Kaguya Shinomiya had long known that if nothing unexpected happened, the best situation he would face in the future would be to be sent by the Family to marry someone.

Although she is the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Family, under the pressure of her brothers, Kaguya Shinomiya has no right to inherit the Family's property under normal circumstances.

In contrast, Yuki Suo is different. As the only daughter of the Suo Family, Yuki Suo will be the confirmed owner of the Suo Family in the future, and there will be no competitors.

However, even in this situation, Suo Family's old family head still decided to send Yuki Suo to the adult they were talking about... So who is that adult? Why do both the father and Suo Family's family head seem to be in such awe that they dare not call him by his first name?

"It seems that Miss Kaguya has a lot of doubts in her heart. Could it be that your father didn't explain the specific situation to you?"

"I'm sorry, but the only people who knew Shinomiya Family before were his father and brother Huang Guang."

Kaguya Shinomiya, who had followed Yuki Suo to another empty seat not far away and sat down, said expressionlessly.

"I see. I have long heard that Shinomiya Family's family training is strict, and even among relatives there is still a strict hierarchy. Now it seems that it is not a rumor."

"The reason why grandpa asked us to come here to chat is probably because he saw this, so he wanted me to help Miss Kaguya understand some of the situation."

Obviously, unlike Kaguya Shinomiya's situation in the Shinomiya Family, Yuki Suo, as the future sole heir of the Suo Family, learned all the information from his mother and grandfather early on.

Looking at Kaguya Shinomiya, who had already arrived at the auction venue but still knew nothing about the situation, Yuki Suo knew that he probably had to explain it all over again.

"Miss Kaguya, do you believe that Evil Spirit exists in this world, as well as the unknown supernatural powers hidden under society?"

Hearing Yuki Suo's seemingly nonsensical words, Kaguya Shinomiya frowned.

"What Miss Zhou Fang means is that these are related to your grandfather and the adult my father talked about?"

"You can indeed say that."

In response, Yuki Suo nodded.

Evil Spirit exists in this world, and the supernatural power hidden under society...

Wait, if these are really related to the adult that her father spoke of, then think of the tea she just drank, and the attitude of awe that her father and brother Oko Shinomiya had on the way here, which was completely different from how they usually face others...

In other words, it is true that Evil Spirit exists in this world, and it is also true that there are supernatural powers?!

Noticing the unprecedented shock in Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes, realizing that the other party had understood the truth and had already expected it, Yuki Suo waited silently for a while. After Kaguya Shinomiya finally recovered, he motioned her to look at a corner of the auction hall.

Under the guidance of Yuki Suo, Kaguya Shinomiya looked over.

Under the gaze of Kaguya Shinomiya, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened in the shadows in the corner of the auction hall, and then a Shadow Ninja with blue-black skin and a jet-black ninja uniform walked out of the shadows. He glanced around the hall to confirm that there was no problem and then disappeared again.

"That one just now, was it Evil Spirit?"

"No, it's more terrifying than Evil Spirit. The one just now was Shadow Ninja Legion under that adult."

Chapter 248: Natural system Devil Fruit, shocked dignitaries

After Yuki Suo's explanation, Kaguya Shinomiya finally fully understood the reality of the world and its current situation.

That lord, as well as the resources and extraordinary power in his hands, the huge force headed by the Fujiwara Family, which belongs to that lord, and the point system promoted by that lord.

Today's Tokyo Metropolis, except for some low-level small the Family and companies, most of the famous dignitaries have either been annexed, or joined that adult and become a member of the force.

It can be said that now the entire Tokyo Metropolis has been ruled by the forces under that adult. As the economic and political center of the entire country, ruling Tokyo Metropolis means ruling nearly half of Japan.

As for the Shinomiya Family, because he joined that adult too late and missed the best opportunity to perform in front of that adult, he planned to use Suo Family's help to increase and consolidate Shinomiya Family's status by sending himself to that adult.

As for why we didn't go to the Fujiwara Family... it's naturally because today's Fujiwara Family is already out of reach for the Shinomiya Family.

As the first the Family to join that lord's service, Fujiwara Family also made the most contributions and received the most rewards in front of that lord.

Genetic Serum that can prolong life and strengthen the body, Devil Fruit that can give people extraordinary strength, a large amount of precious and extremely valuable point currency, and most importantly, the mobilization authority of some Shadow Troopers under that adult that can make other members of that lord's forces envious of separation.

All these have established Fujiwara Family's unassailable status, especially when it is said that Fujiwara Family also used his three daughters to successfully let the adult live directly in the Fujiwara Family.

Let me ask, how can Fujiwara Family and Shinomiya Family talk about cooperation? Just because Shinomiya Family has emptied his pocket and only has 2,500 points?

It's no wonder that his father kept himself and his brothers low-key. Even Oko Shinomiya showed a completely different attitude from his usual attitude.

After all, if you don't keep a low profile, if you are kicked out of the force under that adult and lose your identity as a member of the force, even with the Shinomiya Family's size, I am afraid it will be divided up in an instant, and Shinomiya Family will not have any room for resistance from the beginning to the end.

At this moment, most of the lights above the auction venue suddenly went out. It was obvious that the auction had officially begun.

Kaguya Shinomiya, who has already learned about the situation from Yuki Suo, naturally knows what will appear in this auction, Genetic Serum, which can extend lifespan, and Devil Fruit, which can change people's lives against the will of heaven and gain extraordinary power with just one.

However, these have nothing to do with Kaguya Shinomiya. Considering that Shinomiya Family is now in a situation where there is no point left, Shinomiya Family is destined to be a bystander in this auction, and all the auction items have no chance to be related to the Shinomiya Family.

On the Suo Family side, it seems that the cooperation with the Shinomiya Family is to capture the Devil Fruit that will appear in this auction. At that time, the user of this Devil Fruit will most likely be Yuki Suo who is the future owner of the Suo Family.

Thinking of this, even Kaguya Shinomiya had to admit that she did have a trace of envy in her heart. Compared with her, the conditions enjoyed by Yuki Suo in the Suo Family were really too superior. In the past, Shinomiya Family It didn't matter when E was much larger than Suo Family, but now with the emergence of extraordinary power, Yuki Suo's conditions are incomparable to Kaguya Shinomiya's.

At this time, the entire auction venue was silent, with only the sound of the auctioneer standing on the stage introducing the auction items.

Because they wanted to know the situation of the auction items, the auctioneer and the staff at the auction venue, although they were not the dignitaries below, still had the right to know.
