An Intimate Promise with Kiryuuin Fuuka. / Ichinose Honami's Questions and the Truth.

After talking with Koenji Morito, things became much simpler.

Hashiba Hikaru's attendance at the Koenji Family's board meeting was merely a formality; most of the group's business had nothing to do with him.

Besides accepting his new identity, the boy also signed his name on a certain authorization document. From today onwards, Hashiba Hikaru will officially become one of the directors of the Koenji Family.

Although they are independent directors, they are also eligible to attend such meetings.

The board meeting was chaired by Koenji Morito. After introducing Hashiba Hikaru, he fulfilled his duties as the head of the family and announced the group's tasks and targets for the next quarter.

Hashiba Hikaru listened somewhat drowsily, resting his chin on his hand; he had little interest in the Koenji Family's business.

The only highlight of this board meeting was probably Kiryuuin Fuuka, who had changed into a women's suit. The pure black suit accentuated the silver-haired girl's figure even more perfectly, and she also wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, making her look like a high-and-mighty female corporate elite.

The board meeting lasted for about two hours. After the meeting was adjourned, Hashiba Hikaru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His purpose in leaving the school this time was actually already achieved after his talk with Koenji Morito; whether he participated in the board meeting or not made no difference.

Over the next two weeks, the boy needs to devise a meticulously planned scheme to infiltrate the [White Room] and obtain the crucial [Scandal Evidence].

He could leave the rest to the Koenji Family to handle; he trusted that Koenji Morito, as the head of a conglomerate, would not disappoint him.

"Mr. Hashiba, would you like to have your meal now?"

After the meeting ended, the office lady who had brought him up walked up to Hashiba Hikaru with a smile.

"No need, I need to get back to school."

Hashiba Hikaru shook her head.

"Okay, I'll take you downstairs now. Please follow me."

The young office lady always wore a gentle smile. As a member of the Koenji Family, she already knew a lot about Hashiba Hikaru, and her demeanor became increasingly respectful.

Having promised Kiryuuin Fuuka that she would return to school with her, Hashiba Hikaru decided to wait a while in front of the Bentley.

The driver was very cooperative. After listening to Hashiba Hikaru's request, the man's expression did not change. He stood respectfully to the side. As the driver for the Koenji Family, he was well aware of his responsibilities.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a beautiful figure dressed in a women's suit walked out of the gate, her silver hair fluttering in the wind. It was Kiryuuin Fuuka.

"Junior, sir~"

After developing an intimate relationship, Kiryuuin Fuuka wanted to have a unique nickname. Since the other girls had already taken the names, she decided to use "Junior-kun" as a unique way of addressing people, which would also add more fun.

"Senior, have you finished dealing with everything?"

Upon seeing the bright-smiling silver-haired girl, Hashiba Hikaru's lips also curled into a smile.

"Of course, as I've already said, I'm just here for the fun of it all; the main reason is for you..."

Kiryuuin Fuuka possesses a bright and generous side to her personality, but she also has a girlish side. When facing her lover, her eyes are filled with tender affection, and her voice softens considerably.

"Let's get in the car first."

Hashiba Hikaru felt there was no need to stand there chatting, so after getting into the back seat of the Bentley with Kiryuuin Fuuka, she told the driver that they could leave.

"Junior, have you spoken with the person in charge of the Koenji Family?"

In the back seat, Kiryuuin Fuuka had just experienced the most intimate thing between lovers yesterday, and now her love was burning hot.

She pressed her pretty little face tightly against the boy's neck, and placed her long, shapely legs across Hashiba Hikaru's legs.

"We've talked about it, and we've even finalized some very important things."

Hashiba Hikaru put his arm around her slender waist, his tone gentle.

His original plan was to gain more consent from the Koenji Family shareholders at the board meeting, but after talking directly with Koenji Morito, he unexpectedly established a simpler and more direct plan.

Is there any danger?

Kiryuuin Fuuka is a very intelligent girl. Although she and Hashiba Hikaru have only just started dating, she can guess from the expression on the boy's face that he must be doing something.

"It's not dangerous, it just requires advance preparation."

Hashiba Hikaru was relieved by the girl's worries, so she lowered her head and gently kissed Kiryuuin Fuuka's forehead. "I'm very confident about this."

"That's good."

Kiryuuin Fuuka breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly asked, "So, junior-kun, you don't need the Kiryuuin Family's help anymore?"

"Well, if the Koenji Family can complete the follow-up work smoothly, then you probably won't need to put in any more effort, senpai."

After a moment of contemplation, Hashiba Hikaru, through his conversation with Koenji Morito, concluded that the latter was a tycoon befitting his status.

If he truly possessed conclusive evidence of the Scandal Data, that blond man would certainly not show mercy to the Kujo Family and Ayanokoji Atsuomi.

After all, the boy had already understood something from Sakayanagi Narimori's story: since the Kujo Family had no suitable heir in this generation, wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity to "take advantage of their weakness and kill them"?

"Are you sure you don't need my help?"

Looking at the pensive boy, Kiryuuin Fuuka couldn't help but reach out and stroke his profile. His sharply defined features were like a sculpture, constantly stirring up feelings of love within her.

"Once I've finished my work, I'll definitely need your help, senior."

What is it?

The silver-haired girl looked up with some curiosity.

"Yes..."

The boy brought his mouth close to her ear and whispered a few very suggestive words, instantly making Kiryuuin Fuuka face blush.

"... Junior, you really are experienced."

"Pretty much, what do you think, senior?"

Hashiba Hikaru knew what the girl was thinking. Now that the two of them were together, Kiryuuin Fuuka would definitely want to help her as much as possible, but to avoid trouble, it would be better not to involve the Kiryuuin Family for the time being.

So he simply changed direction and suggested another "place" where he wanted Kiryuuin Fuuka's help.

"If my junior could make me happy..."

Although Kiryuuin Fuuka's pretty face was flushed, she was no shy little girl and immediately made her decision.

"That's how I'm willing to serve you!"

"Then it's a deal."

Hashiba Hikaru held up her little finger. "Let's pinky swear."

"Pinky promise!"

Kiryuuin Fuuka her eyes at her man and said angrily.

"We'll see who admits defeat first then!"

Chapter 786 Ichinose Honami's Questioning and Showdown

With the male driver driving steadily, around four o'clock in the afternoon, the extended Bentley smoothly drove into the Artificial Island and arrived at the gate of Tokyo Advanced Nurturing High School.

It's Friday, and school is over by now. As soon as he got off the bus, Hashiba Hikaru received a call from his girlfriend.

"Hikari~ are you back?"

Ichinose Honami had a very lonely day, and her voice became slurred and sticky.

"Yes, I've already gotten off the bus and I'm at the school gate."

Hashiba Hikaru and Kiryuuin Fuuka got off the bus together. He thanked the driver, and after the driver left, he walked into the school with the silver-haired upperclassman.

"Really?! Then I'll come pick you up right now!"

Hashiba Hikaru could tell that Ichinose Honami's voice was quite excited, followed by the sound of wind mixed with exhalations, indicating that the girl had started running.

"Be careful, Honami."

"I know, Guang is standing at the door waiting for me, I'll be right there!"

"Good..."

After hanging up the phone, Hashiba Hikaru smiled helplessly, while Kiryuuin Fuuka face.

"Junior, you're so adorable! Your girlfriend is arriving soon, so I won't disturb your blissful separation."

The silver-haired girl touched her long hair, her tone tinged with bitterness.

"There's nothing I can do. I've been spending all this time with Honami. She's probably a little lonely if I don't see her for a day."

Hashiba Hikaru made a rough guess about his girlfriend's condition. After all, when he left school last time, he was with Ichinose Honami. Since they officially started dating, there had basically never been a situation where he couldn't see her for a whole day.

"I know, she's keeping a close eye on things!"

Kiryuuin Fuuka pouted. After catching a glimpse of the pink-haired figure, an idea suddenly popped into her head, and she grabbed Hashiba Hikaru's neck.

"Hmm..."

After the long kiss ended, Kiryuuin Fuuka touched her lips and said with a touch of domineering confidence.

"Remember, junior, you're mine now. Although I can't be your official girlfriend, you must have a place for me in your heart. Do you understand?"

"Knew."

"Snort!"

After grumblingly straightening the boy's collar, Kiryuuin Fuuka turned and left decisively. She had no intention of staying to "confront" Ichinose Honami, because the girl was quite certain that Hashiba Hikaru wouldn't be on her side.

This is what appears early and late in life's journey...

If it had happened earlier, perhaps I would have been his official girlfriend.

After Kiryuuin Fuuka left, Ichinose Honami ran all the way to Hashiba Hikaru. Because she ran, the girl's pretty face was not only covered with sweat, but her cheeks were also a little hot.

After stopping, panting, the pink-haired girl gazed at her boyfriend's face and then suddenly nestled into his arms.

"Light! I miss you so much!"

"I really miss Honami."

Hashiba Hikaru hugged her waist tightly and gently tidied her hair. "Honami, you don't need to be in such a hurry. I'm not going to disappear."

"I miss you."

Upon smelling her boyfriend's familiar scent, Ichinose Honami's eyes became somewhat glazed. She wrapped her arms tightly around Hashiba Hikaru's waist and buried her face in his chest.

"Hehe, nothing much has happened in class these past few days, right?"

Hashiba Hikaru smiled, because Ichinose Honami was an excellent class leader, and there wouldn't be any problems even if she wasn't at school.

"Of course not, everyone really hopes that Guang can come back soon."

Ichinose Honami looked up, her gaze fixed intently on her boyfriend's face.

"Okay, let's go back now."

Okay~

The two walked hand in hand towards the dormitory. Although Ichinose Honami seemed happy the whole time, Hashiba Hikaru noticed that her eyes were a little strange. She guessed that she had seen Kiryuuin Fuuka's sudden kiss.

It seems... I'll need to explain things when I get back to my room.

Things unfolded much as the boy had predicted. As the two entered the room together, Ichinose Honami immediately pinned her boyfriend against the dormitory door, staring intently into his eyes.

"Hikari... I just saw Kiryuin- senpai."

After all, the other person's long silver hair was truly unique; even from a distance, one could easily recognize who it was.

"Yes, I met the senior at the conference. We just rode back together."

Hashiba Hikaru chose to tell the truth openly and had no intention of hiding anything.

"..."

The girl's heart skipped a beat, and then she asked.

"Hikaru, what's your relationship with Kiryuin now?"

When she asked that question, Ichinose Honami felt her heart race a little. Although she understood a lot of things, she was still a little scared.

The girl was afraid that her man would be taken away by someone else.

"Hasn't Honami already provided the answer?"
