Multi-Anime, Kira Yoshikage Yearns for a Peaceful Life

Giving the company to Shinomiya Kaguya was certainly a safety net for her, a chance to stand on her own even if she left the Shinomiya Family. But at the same time, it was also a form of abandonment—the old man clearly never intended for Shinomiya Kaguya to inherit the family estate.

Shinomiya Kaguya gained a company, but he gained the chance to inherit the Shinomiya Family!

Compared to the Shinomiya Group with total assets of 200 trillion, what was a mere construction company worth?

"Fine."

Shinomiya Kaguya furrowed her brow but didn't bother arguing with Shinomiya Unkō.

Since it was his order, she would simply comply.

They were siblings, yet there was no unnecessary exchange between them.

Not long after Shinomiya Kaguya left.

Darkness silently enveloped the office. Shinomiya Unkō, having experienced this once before, remained composed:

"The Construction Team is on the way. What should the Shrine be called?"

Koyuki hesitated.

Kira Yoshikage had only told her to come; he hadn't told her what to do!

Or was she supposed to decide on her own?

After hesitating for a long while, Koyuki picked up a pen and wrote a line on the paper:

Twilight.

This word held no special meaning.

If she had to say, it was probably that she disliked twilight.

When the light grew faint, the twilight before nightfall was more terrifying than the deep darkness itself.

Because twilight often represented the extinction of hope.

Chapter 54: Stalking, We're Professionals

"Ano~"

Gotou Hitori pushed open the door to the Light Music Club's activity room, cautiously poking her head in to look around.

"Ah, Bocchi-chan!"

Tainaka Ritsu waved with a grin:

"Want some snacks?"

"Snacks? Where are the snacks?"

Hirasawa Yui popped her head out from beside Gotou Hitori, eyes sparkling.

"Over here~"

Qin Chui held a porcelain plate that looked quite expensive, with delicate pastries arranged on it.

Hirasawa Yui was instantly drawn in, as if bewitched, walking over to pick up a pastry and take a bite.

"Is it good?" Qin Chui tilted her head.

"Delicious!"

Hirasawa Yui's eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she nibbled the pastry in small bites like a hamster.

The Young Miss looked at the girl trembling slightly by the door and offered a gentle smile:

"Bocchi-chan, would you like one?"

"I..."

Gotou Hitori shrank her neck, a little timid.

"Bocchi-chan, come on!"

Tainaka Ritsu stepped forward, cheerfully pulling Gotou Hitori to the table and holding a pastry up to her mouth.

"Ah, th-thank you..."

Gotou Hitori said quietly.

"No need to be so formal~"

Tainaka Ritsu waved her hand carelessly, "We're all clubmates, aren't we?"

Gotou Hitori's lips parted slightly, but she quickly lowered her head.

The Long Black Hair girl keenly sensed that she seemed to have something on her mind and asked with concern:

"Goto-san, is there something you want to tell us?"

"Eh?"

Hirasawa Yui put down the pastry in her hand and put on a serious expression.

"Ah, well..."

Gotou Hitori hesitated for a long time, then said softly:

"Kira-kun..."

"Kira-kun?"

Akiyama Mio only caught the name clearly, a little confused.

"Kira-kun said he needs to work a part-time job, so he can't participate in club activities..."

"I see." Kotobuki Tsumugi sounded a bit disappointed.

Akiyama Mio explained to Hirasawa Yui, who was still somewhat puzzled:

"Come to think of it, it seems Kira-kun had to join a club because a teacher asked him to. Shuchiin Academy's tuition is really expensive, so it can't be helped that he needs to use his free time for a part-time job..."

"Is that so?" Hirasawa Yui looked like she half-understood.

"No way!"

Tainaka Ritsu slammed the table and stood up:

"Even if he has a part-time job, he should still have time for club activities, right? Can't he spare an hour a day, or even half an hour?"

Akiyama Mio looked a bit helpless:

"Ritsu, don't go forcing others on your own."

"In any case."

Kotobuki Tsumugi gently offered a word of comfort:

"How about we first find out about Kira-kun's situation?"

"Agreed!"

Hirasawa Yui raised her hand first.

Tainaka Ritsu said enthusiastically:

"Then let's start with where Kira-kun works!"

"Kira-kun is a member of the Light Music Club too. We have to find a way to get him involved!"

"Well then,"

Akiyama Mio took a sip of black tea:

"Does anyone know where Kira-kun works?"

"..."

Tainaka Ritsu blinked, then turned her gaze to Gotou Hitori:

"Bocchi-chan, do you know?"

"Ah, no..."

Even though they sat in front and behind each other, until today they had no interaction, not even a conversation.

Peace can be translated as tranquility, or as calm.

Calm is a state of life, and also an attitude toward life.

And Kira Yoshikage holds this same attitude toward his own life.

To maintain the peaceful life he had finally obtained, he would stop at nothing.

In his past life, he had done so more than once.

And now was no different.

The 'Deity' beneath the Swamp at Shuchiin Academy had been killed, breaking the original balance.

Evil Spirits that once dared not approach now came in groups to tour the school.

This was undoubtedly a huge threat to his peaceful life!

To deal with this crisis, Kira Yoshikage chose to let Koyuki become the new Deity—

Once a new Deity was born, a new balance could be established.

Everything would return to its original state, and his peaceful campus life would not be disturbed in the slightest.

Perfect.

Ding-dong!

The doors slowly opened, and Kira Yoshikage boarded the train with the flow of people.

Not far away, a girl with short twin-tails was looking down at her phone.

If nothing unexpected happened, she would miss this train.

"Maki, hurry up and follow! The train doors are about to close!"

The urgent urging from her earpiece made the girl roll her eyes.

"Got it, got it! But seriously, why did it have to be me doing this?"

Shijo Maki grumbled under her breath, but her body obediently followed onto the train.

Meanwhile, inside a black luxury car parked outside Shuchiin Academy, Koyasu Tsubame explained from the back seat:

"Kira-kun has seen us before. If we were the ones doing this, he'd definitely notice."

Beside her, Kashiwagi Nagisa said softly:

"Kira-kun doesn't want to be recognized. Otherwise, he wouldn't be avoiding me."

With that, Kashiwagi Nagisa added another reminder:

"Remember to keep your distance from Kira-kun, and don't look directly at him..."

Shijo Maki muttered:

"Is it really necessary to be this cautious?"

"Yes."

Kashiwagi Nagisa's tone was dead serious:

"Kira-kun isn't an ordinary person, Maki. Try not to talk to yourself either—he'll hear you."

Shijo Maki rolled her eyes. How could it be that exaggerated?

But what she didn't know was that the reason Kashiwagi Nagisa was so certain Kira Yoshikage wasn't ordinary went beyond what she had seen at the bottom of the lake—it also involved her father, Kashiwagi Masao.

Kashiwagi Masao had only one daughter, Kashiwagi Nagisa, and he always granted her every request. So when Nagisa asked him about the details of that incident, he didn't hesitate much and told her most of the truth.
