No heir...

My particularity can just solve this problem...

I see!

No wonder I was able to say "The words I entrusted to you, my little girl" on the first day.

Has he been targeting me from the beginning?"

Speaking of this, Izumi Tetsu couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems that the father-in-law's line has been stabilized."

"So, you said this in front of your favorite Kiyohime?! Izumi Toru, you are really a complete bastard!"

Izumi Toru and the girl whose eyes seemed to be burning with anger looked at each other for a moment, and then looked away.

"Sorry. Qingji..."

"Izumi-kun, if you want to apologize, I am the one who indulged you, so I should apologize," Jinguji Kiyohime said, turning to Igarashi Mika, "Mika, I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize to me, I don't want to interfere with you two."

Jinguji Kiyohime's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Really!"

Seeing this, Igarashi Mika immediately stretched out her index finger, tapped her friend's forehead, and said, "Don't even think about some things! Don't forget what you promised me!"

"oh……"

Jinguji Kiyohime pouted in dissatisfaction.

But she didn't know whether she was equally dissatisfied and regretful in her heart.

Igarashi Mika was silent for a while, then turned to Izumi Toru: "Izumi Toru."

"Um?"

"I found out something about the special nature of your existence to Asazuki Hongyin."

Hearing her mention this matter, Izumi Toru immediately became interested.

"What is it?"

Igarashi Mika recalled the clues inferred from many clues, and then learned from the content that the retired old man of the Asatsuki group used various means to force the other party to spit out, and slowly spoke:

"Asazuki Hongyin once had a younger brother who, like you, was born weak and sickly. The only boy she could touch was her younger brother. Later, her younger brother died."

Izumi Toru thought for a moment and suddenly realized.

No wonder she reacted like that when I called my senior sister my sister.

But, why haven’t I heard my senior mention it?

But that's right, my brother's death at an early age is really not something worth mentioning.

He murmured: "No wonder my senior treats me like this. Because my younger brother died of illness, she regarded me as..."

Igarashi Mika interrupted him and said: "Her brother did not die of illness."

Izumi Tetsu was stunned for a moment, and his brows immediately furrowed deeply.

"What's the meaning?"

Mika Igarashi crossed his fingers, put his hand on his chin, and said quietly: "If we rule out the possibility that they still dare to lie to me despite being threatened, then the truth is: her brother was killed."

Izumi Tetsu immediately had a guess in his mind.

A guess that chilled him.

"Could it be that the murderer is Haruka Asuki?"

Igarashi Mika whispered a name.

It's not Haruka Asuki.

But the answer froze Izumi Toru's thinking instantly.

"Asatsuki Hongyin."
