[This incident is over.] 】

Keiko Hatoyama sat at her desk in her hospital room and wrote this sentence in her diary.

[Although the process was thrilling, fortunately, the final result was quite satisfying. 】

Soon after the boy rescued Karasuma, police support arrived and arrested all the cultists in the stronghold.

As for the believers who were decisively killed by the boy, although the boy had made it clear that it was after they had drawn their weapons and tried to shoot him that the boy was "forced to fight" back, the old man Hatoyama finally asked the boy to write a review in public, and strictly forbade the boy to make similar risky actions in the future.

That's right, it was for the boy to review the fact that he went to rescue Karasuma alone, not about the shooting.

[As for those cultists, according to the information obtained by the police during the interrogation, it seems that they are only members of a stronghold within this order, and there seem to be many strongholds like theirs in the prefectures around Tokyo. 】

[It's really a "huge" order, but as long as there are clues that can be traced, then it will definitely be able to dig out all these people little by little......]

[Of course, if we want to eradicate these cult phenomena hidden in the dark corners of the city, it is not enough to use the means of suppression, only by finding a way to eradicate the soil that gave birth to and nourishes them, can we cure both the symptoms and the root causes......]

[Speaking of which, this person is really patient......]

At this point, Keiko Hatoyama suddenly stopped writing, she sighed softly, and turned her head to look at the backlit position in the room.

There, sitting, a man.

An old man, a very old man.

He was thin, gray-haired, and his skin was wrinkled like tree bark, making him look terrible.

When she saw this old man for the first time, Keiko Hatoyama had such a question in her heart.

How old is he? Why is he still alive?

He is the current head of the Karasuma family, the man with the strongest desires and the most arrogant imagination of human beings-

Karasuma Renya.

Unlike Karasuma Renya's thin, deadwood-like shell, his eyes, cloudy with age, were so refreshed that they were like a bottomless black pool that seemed to sink the soul of everyone who looked at him.

Today is the first time that Keiko Hatoyama and this person have met directly since that day three years ago.

Counting this time, the two actually met only twice.

The first time was when Karasuma Renya came to visit Hatoyama for the first time, and at that time, Karasuma Renya was full of confidence and thought that he could use her to successfully pull the Hatoyama family into his future plans.

Of course, he miscalculated in the end.

As for the one three years ago, Keiko Hatoyama did not meet directly with Karasuma Renya, so today is the second time in the true sense.

Although that is the case, in fact, Keiko Hatoyama didn't really want to meet with Karasuma Renya, and it was completely this person who came by herself......

At this time, in the ward, in addition to Keiko Hatoyama and Renya Karasuma, there were several men who looked like bodyguards, and they each stood near Keiko Hatoyama and Renya Karasuma, representing their different affiliations.

"I've always heard that the head of the Karasuma family is busy with family affairs, and his whereabouts are uncertain all day, and he is a busy man who can't see the head and end of the dragon, and even his own daughter is left to the care of the family's servants.

When I saw it today, I couldn't believe the rumors......"

Putting down the pen, Keiko Hatoyama looked at Karasuma Renya, who was sitting in the shadows, and laughed softly:

"It's not enlightenment, if it's really a busy person, how can I have time to sit in my little ward for so long? What do you think, the head of the Karasuma family? ”

"Hmph."

A cold snort came out of his snort, and Karasuma Renya, who was originally sitting there like a zombie, finally exuded a little breath of a living person from his body at this moment.

"The little girl of the Hatoyama family, I heard...... The medical team has gone back......"

Karasuma Renya gets straight to the point, and what he is referring to is the medical team that has been invited from abroad to treat Keiko Hatoyama in the past two days, and it is said that they have quite advanced medical technology and equipment.

In order to facilitate their treatment, Keiko Hatoyama also deliberately stayed in this hospital for the past two days.

Of course, in the end, these people didn't play a role.

"The channel of the head of the Karasuma family is really well-informed, grandpa only let them leave in the morning, and you got the news so quickly, it really makes me ...... Quite unexpected. Keiko Hatoyama said meaningfully.

If she is just an ordinary person, this sentence will only make people feel emotional and surprised, but the Hatoyama family to which she belongs still has the special agency of Japanese public security in her hands at this time, so the meaning of this sentence is completely different.

Keiko Hatoyama is warning Hatoyama Renya.

The Hatoyama family is now fully capable of cleaning up your Karasuma family, don't go too far.

Karasuma Renya could naturally hear the true meaning of her words, but he didn't plan to pay attention to it, and he didn't come here today to fight with Keiko Hatoyama.

"You...... Lives are short-lived. He looked straight at Keiko Hatoyama and said in that old and hoarse voice.

He seems to have used some method to get an examination report on Keiko Hatoyama's physical condition from the hands of that medical team.

Keiko Hatoyama didn't say anything, not even the expression on her face changed, she still looked at him with that smile on her face.

"If we all joined forces and did our best to advance our plans, you might ...... There is still a glimmer of life......" Karasuma Renya said again.

Keiko Hatoyama heard his words, but she couldn't help but sneer, she shook her head slightly, and then looked at Karasuma Renya, the smile on her face gradually faded, and her eyes were deep.

"The head of the Karasuma family, people's birth, old age, sickness and death are like the reincarnation of the four seasons, which is the most common truth in this world, and there is nothing that cannot be accepted."

"Really...... Willingly? Karasuma Renya looked at her as well.

"My life is like a mayfly, and although I have been tormented by this sick shell since birth, I have also enjoyed the privileged life that the Hatoyama family has brought me.

In this way, I am already much luckier than other people who live in poverty, what else can I not be reconciled to?

I would like to advise the head of the Karasuma family that life is normal in life, old age, sickness and death, and instead of wasting your energy for your crazy delusions, you should spend the rest of your time with the important people around you. ”

As soon as these words came out, Keiko Hatoyama's attitude was already obvious.

She had already accepted her fate, no matter how much Karasuma Renya spended, she would not be able to side with him, and as long as she was alive, she would not be able to let the Hatoyama family and the Karasuma family come together.

"Ignorant ......"

At this point, Karasuma Renya didn't say much.

He originally wanted to take advantage of this treatment failure to try to convince Keiko Hatoyama again.

But now it seems that Keiko Hatoyama's will is much stronger than he had previously speculated.

I don't know if I should be fearless or stupid to willingly give up my only chance of life......

"Stop! You can't go in right now. ”

At this moment, a cheer suddenly came from outside the door of the ward.
