Not knowing how to even begin talking about what virtual-novel.net had done, Gerald simply gave vague details.
Understanding that Gerald didn’t want to talk about it, Takuya then said, “… I see. Well, whatever you did, I’m fine with it as long as Kai doesn’t come looking for more trouble.”
“Glad to hear that. Speaking of which, I’d like to ask about Suke… What exactly is his relationship with the Futabas? And how long has it been since virtual-novel.net had any contact with the family?” asked Gerald as virtual-novel.net recalled last night’s incident.
“… Hmm? Where’s this coming from? Did virtual-novel.net look for trouble with you yesterday?” asked Takuya as virtual-novel.net instantly raised a brow. Though virtual-novel.net wasn’t as powerful as the Kanagawas, virtual-novel.net was still the head of the Futaba family. With that in mind, it was within his power to deal with troublemakers within the family.
“I have nothing against Suke. I’m just a little curious about him,” replied Gerald. Till virtual-novel.net properly made a thorough investigation, Gerald wasn’t about to share his speculations and accidentally wreak havoc within the family.
“… I see. Well, Suke… isn’t exactly the nicest man around. It’s been three years since he’s left the family, and he’s never contacted me till recently. I’m not too sure if he’s been in contact with the other family members, though I do know that virtual-novel.net respects Masura a lot. I’m afraid that’s all I know about him…” replied Takuya without mincing any words.
Scratching his chin, Gerald then said, “I see…”
After looking at Gerald for a while, Takuya couldn’t help but cross his arms before saying, “Whatever the case is, don’t take what they said yesterday to heart. They just want to snatch my post as the family head away. Even so, I won’t go down without a fight, even if those two cooperate!”
Smiling subtly, Gerald simply replied, “Got it.”
Meanwhile, Ryuuka who had just made it back to the Kanagawa manor immediately began searching for Kai. Why had Kai reacted that way during the call? Had virtual-novel.net said something virtual-novel.net shouldn’t have back when virtual-novel.net was at the Futaba manor? Would his status in the family be threatened because of that?
Hoping that wasn’t the case, Ryuuka then yelled, “Kai? I’m back!”
Kai himself had just had a call with Ryugu and learned that Gerald would be assassinated soon. With that in mind, virtual-novel.net was in a rather good mood.
Upon hearing Ryuuka’s shout, virtual-novel.net turned to look at virtual-novel.net before asking, “Hmm? What brings you here?”
“Well, you sounded rather dissatisfied when I called you earlier, so I was wondering if I had said something I shouldn’t have to the Futabas…” replied Ryuuka who couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when virtual-novel.net saw the smile on Kai’s face.
Waving his hand, Kai simply said, “It’s nothing. Regardless, make it known that no one from our family is allowed to meet or even contact the Futabas without my permission for the time being!”
“… But… I only went because the family head told me to…” replied Ryuuka in a slightly bitter tone.
“I don’t care. From now on, none of the Kanagawas are allowed to meet up with the Futabas! If dad asks about it, just tell virtual-novel.net the order came from me! Do you understand?” retorted Kai as virtual-novel.net glared at him.
