Thirty-seven years ago in Tokyo, several important events took place.

The first is that under the impact of various ideological currents in modern society, the big families in power in Tokyo have begun to spontaneously consolidate their inherent rights and classes from their ancestors.

One of the most prominent aspects of this is the newly built aristocratic university in Tokyo, which was funded by major families and only the children of major families can enter it.

At this time, the boy who had already begun to be trained by Old Man Hatoyama in the direction of his successor was also asked by Old Man Hatoyama to enter this university.

From the perspective of academic standards alone, there are certainly some gaps between this newly built aristocratic university and other established and famous universities in Tokyo that will take time to close.

But when Mr. Hatoyama sent the boy to college, he didn't really let him learn knowledge that would not be of much use to his future.

Mr. Hatoyama needs to let the boy integrate into their circle as quickly as possible, and make the best and most suitable preparation for his future.

Therefore, this aristocratic university, which has the children of all major families in Tokyo, is the only suitable choice.

It is worth mentioning that this special university was forced to abolish only a dozen years later amid growing public opposition.

Of course, that's already something that has nothing to do with Keiko Hatoyama.

After learning that the boy would go to this university, Keiko Hatoyama did not hesitate to express the same idea.

Although her physical condition is not enough to support her to complete the heavy studies in college, there is nothing that cannot be done in this kind of thing as long as Old Man Hatoyama nods.

After all, the primary purpose of this aristocratic university is not to impart knowledge, but to create a circle for the children of these families to get acquainted with each other and grow up, so that they can build and maintain their contacts and relationships after entering the Japanese political arena in the future.

In the face of this purpose, everything else has to be pushed back.

Because of this, although the boy also entered this aristocratic university, he rarely attends on weekdays, and most of the time, he is at the request of the old man Hatoyama to assist the Metropolitan Police Department as a detective......

No, it's the opposite, at the request of the old man Hatoyama, he asked the Metropolitan Police Department to assist the boy who was a detective in handling the case.

At this time, the boy had begun to participate frequently in the affairs of the police, but he did not yet have the status of a police officer.

According to Old Man Hatoyama's idea, before you can get a position, you must first undergo enough experience.

Therefore, in addition to frequently handling cases, the boy will often follow the old man Hatoyama to attend various important occasions or banquets, and anyone can see that this grandson-in-law has been regarded by the old man Hatoyama as the future successor.

And the second important thing besides that is that the little sister of the Karasuma family is back.

Three years ago, this little Karasuma came to Japan with the desire to visit Hatoyama's old man, Karasuma Renya, and had a very friendly exchange with Keiko Hatoyama.

However, due to the bad news that the boy's mother was suddenly killed, the two did not have time to become a deep friendship, and little Karasuma returned to the United States with Karasuma Renya.

Three years later, Karasuma Renya returned to Japan again, and Kokarsuma returned with him.

According to the information that Keiko Hatoyama learned from the old man Hatoyama, Karasuma Renya returned to Japan this time with the idea of settling down for a long time.

At the same time, Kokarasuma, who had just entered high school, was also confirmed to be enrolled in that aristocratic university after graduating in three years.

The return of Karasuma Renya and the requirement for Kokarasuma to enter this aristocratic university must have a special signal behind these moves.

But Keiko Hatoyama doesn't want to think about it, grandpa has his own measure in these things.

Then the next day, she heard from the old butler that little Karasuma had come looking for her.

I haven't seen her for three years, and this little sister, who is four years younger than Keiko Hatoyama, has indeed grown a little taller and has a good figure, which makes her almost a little jealous.

At that time, Keiko Hatoyama was painting a boy on a forest walk in the university, and it seemed that because she hadn't seen him for a long time, Kokarsuma seemed to have become a little nervous and cramped again, and she was a little afraid to come over when she stood far away.

In the end, it was Keiko Hatoyama who took the initiative to greet her.

"Ah, isn't this the little sister of the Karasuma family?"

She put down the paintbrush in her hand and turned her head to look at Kokarsuma in the distance with a smile.

"Long time no see."

At her voice, the boy sitting on the bench opposite also turned his head to look, but immediately withdrew his gaze.

"Okay, long time no see, Sister Keiko......"

"Karasuma-chan, are you going to just stand there and watch us all the time?"

Under the gentle and kind voice of Keiko Hatoyama, Kokarasuma finally let go of the crampedness in his heart and walked over.

As she moved, the boy on the bench moved slightly to the side, leaving her with an empty seat.

"Thank you......" Karasuma thanked him softly.

This little girl is still as simple as she was three years ago.

She probably still doesn't know anything about the head of the Karasuma family.

At the first glance of Kokarasuma, Keiko Hatoyama made such a judgment in her heart.

She saw through Kokarasuma's heart at a glance, if Kokarsuma really knew those things about Karasuma Renya, then when facing her today, it would never be this kind of attitude.

While thinking like this, Keiko Hatoyama suddenly noticed that Karasuma, who had just sat on the bench, was a little restless, and his eyes were still cautiously glancing at the boy beside him.

Just confused for a moment, Keiko Hatoyama understood the reason.

The boy gave up his seat to Karasuma, who thanked him, but the boy didn't respond or even glance at him.

The boy's indifferent reaction seemed to make Karasuma feel a little uneasy.

Thinking of this, Keiko Hatoyama sighed faintly in her heart.

Since his mother was killed three years ago, the boy seems to have become more and more like this to anyone but her......

How does this make her not worried?

"Xiaoqing, you can't be so rude." Keiko Hatoyama said helplessly.

It was also with her words that the boy finally reacted, he turned his head to look at the little Karasuma who was still a little nervous beside him, and said in a serious tone:

"I'm sorry."

I don't know if it was because of the boy's sudden change, or because of some other reason, Kokarsuma looked at the boy and was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied:

"It's okay!"

And after receiving her reply, the boy turned his head as if he had accomplished some task, and resumed his indifferent attitude.

Seeing this, Keiko Hatoyama on the opposite side was even more worried.
