Tenku sighed heavily and massaged his forehead when he saw the reactions of Setsuka and the others when they saw Kirika among them. He had expected they would be furious when they found out Kirika would join them on their winter break. But it was his fault that he forgot to tell them about Kirika's words last night while they were having breakfast.
"Please calm down. I forgot to tell you about this problem. So how about we sit down and talk about it briefly?" Tenku said softly and tried to calm them down. But then he was confused when he saw Kaede showing the same expression as the other two girls.
It was only natural that Setsuka and Wang Ruyue were angry when they saw Kirika suddenly joining them on their tour because they both had romantic feelings for Tenku. But Kaede was just his friend, and her reaction was too much. Tenku tried to think positively and didn't care about it. He assumed that Kaede was attempting to help Setsuka drive away the woman who would become her love rival.
Setsuka and Wang Ruyue looked at each other and nodded after hearing Tenku's words. Although they are annoyed by Kirika's presence among them, both believe that Tenku has reasons for letting the girl join them on tour during their winter break.
They moved to the living room of Kirika's house, and a maid brought tea to relax them. After that, Tenku told them what Kirika had told him last night. Wang Ruyue and the others were surprised and then frowned after hearing Tenku's explanation. They were suspicious and felt that there was something wrong with Kirika's idea.
"So you brought Kirika along with us to prevent Chizen from getting into trouble with you?" Setsuka looked at Tenku and asked to confirm his purpose of inviting Kirika.
"No, what you said was wrong. He never invited me, but I offered to help to get rid of Chizen's jealousy and prevent him from getting into trouble with Tenku." Kirika answered Kirika's question at Tenku's place.
"What are you saying!? You have to do that because you are the cause of the problem! If Chizen weren't jealous of Tenku, he would never come to disturb our vacation! It is your fault, so you have to take responsibility. So please don't act like you're helping Tenku." Wang Ruyue sneered.
"Yes. Have you planned about this beforehand? Are you doing this intentionally so you can join us on our vacation? You're an idol, so you should be able to spend your winter holidays with anyone! You can travel to any city or country you like. But why should you come with us to tour your hometown?" Kaede added, and she looked angry after hearing Kirika's words.
"Why are you always prejudiced against me? Chizen and I met by accident. Didn't you also see that we met at the airport by chance? If I had to choose, I would not want to meet him. So there's no way I could have planned that.
After all, I'm doing this sincerely from the bottom of my heart because I want to help you so your vacation won't be ruined because Chizen suddenly appears and causes trouble with Tenku." Kirika sighed and said in a low voice. She showed a sad face to Setsuka and the others because they had poorly thought of her. Of course, that was Kirika's act to convince them.
They are fellow women, and their intuition is very sharp. So Kirika had to be very careful when facing Setsuka and Wang Ruyue and don't let the two of them find out about her plans.
"Can we trust your words?" Setsuka narrowed her eyes and said coldly.
"Of course. Why would I lie to you? I do have another goal but not what you think. I am an idol but don't have many friends my age. I don't want to spend my winter holidays alone because it's unpleasant. So I want to help Tenku and have fun together with you guys." Kirika replied helplessly. She spoke honestly this time because her circumstances matched what she said.
Setsuka and the others fell silent when they heard Kirika's statement. They sympathize with her situation. They know that being an idol is difficult and takes a lot of time because of her busy schedule. Besides, Kirika also becomes a Realizer in League of Heroes and has to carry out missions. So it's natural that she doesn't have time to socialize with girls her age.
It was different from Setsuka and the others. Even though they are busy carrying out missions as Realizers, they can still make friends at school. When Tenku saw that the atmosphere in the living room had become quiet because the girls were silent, he decided to speak.
"Alright. What do you think? Would you allow Kirika to come with us? You will decide, and I will not interfere. I will follow whatever decision you make." Tenku asked Setsuka and the other two girls.
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm "Hmm... If it's related to the Kinzoku family, wouldn't it be better if I discussed this matter with my father? I'm sure he'll be happy to help you." Setsuka gave her opinion.
Although she sympathized with Kirika, that didn't mean she would let the girl join them. Setsuka didn't want to add another love rival because Wang Ruyue and Kaede had already caused her enough trouble.
"Yes, Setsuka is right. I will also report this matter to the patriarch. He will use the Wang family and their relations with the higher-ups of the Realizer organization in China to pressure the League of Heroes and the Kinzoku family if they plan to harm you." Wang Ruyue agreed with Setsuka and didn't want to lose to that girl. Regarding strength and background, she was no less than Setsuka.
Kirika became nervous after hearing what they said. If Tenku accepted their offer, the plan he had carried out since last night would fail. Kirika gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly. He didn't want that to happen. Kirika hoped that Tenku would refuse their help.
Wang Ruyue and Setsuka took out their smartphones and intended to call their families, but Tenku's voice prevented them from doing so.
"Please stop that. I feel grateful for your attention to me. But this matter hasn't progressed too far to the point where I must confront the Kinzoku family. Chizen hasn't done anything and only sent spies to keep an eye on the people in this house. So you don't need to talk about this to your family.
If I accept your offer, this problem will become big and certain people will pay attention to me because I can mobilize the two prominent families of Japan and China for unclear matters." Tenku looked at the two girls and said. But before they could reply, he opened his mouth again.
"I'm not afraid to go against the Kinzoku family, but I don't want to get in trouble with them because it's a pain and a waste of my time. I want to settle this matter quietly and unobtrusively. So I'm sorry that I can't accept your offer. Therefore, you do not need to contact your family." Tenku ended his words.
He didn't want the unclear issue to make him stand out and attract the attention of many parties. Those people will investigate it. If Kirika's words about Chizen's behavior were valid, that person would surely come to him sooner or later.
Tenku wanted to use the most efficient and quiet method possible. Thus, he didn't want to rely on the power of the Fuyushima family or the Wang family. But if that doesn't work, then Tenku will secretly kill Chizen. It was the most practical solution, and he could eliminate the problem at its root.
After hearing Tenku's words, Setsuka and Wang Ruyue stopped their fingers as they wanted to contact their families. What he said was accurate and reasonable. Tenku wants to hide his strength because he doesn't want to attract certain parties and people who have evil intentions for him.
If they used their family to pressure the Kinzoku family for something that had not happened, then the Realizer organization in Japan would investigate. It will harm Tenku because his strength might be exposed. Setsuka and Wang Ruyue didn't want that to happen.
"We understand. We will not contact our family. We should have thought about your situation first before offering to help." Setsuka sighed, and Wang Ruyue nodded in agreement with her words.
"You two don't need to worry about that. I'm happy because you care about me. Chizen is a small problem for me. It would only get big if the Kinzoku family behind him made their move. I'm not afraid of them.
But I don't want to waste my energy on something pointless. So I thought Kirika's idea was the most efficient and safe way. So what do you think?" Tenku smiled and said softly. He felt moved by the concern of the two girls for him.
On the other hand, Kirika heaved a sigh of relief after she heard his rejection of Wang Ruyue and Setsuka's offers of help. In this way, her plans weren't ruined; She just had to wait for their answers.
Setsuka and Wang Ruyue pondered to think about Kirika's idea. Tenku patiently waited for their reply while drinking the tea on the table.
Not long after, the two girls looked at each other and nodded. Afterward, they looked to Kaede to hear her opinion. But the answer remains the same. Kaede would follow whatever they decided.
"We agreed if Kirika came with us. But she must act according to her ideas. Didn't she want to show the spy that she and Tenku were unrelated? In that case, she should keep a distance from him, and we'll watch her. That is our condition. How? Do you agree?" Setsuka looked at Kirika and asked.
She, Wang Ruyue, and Kaede didn't want Kirika to come with them if it wasn't for Tenku. Things wouldn't have turned out like this if they hadn't met Chizen at the airport. Setsuka didn't expect that person to be jealous and would commit violence against anyone who tried to get close to Kirika because he was strong and had such a great background.
"I have no problem with that. You can watch me closely if you don't believe me." Kirika smiled playfully. She was pleased the girls agreed to let her join them on their winter vacation tour.
"Okay. Since you guys have agreed, then we should leave now. Our first destination in Kyoto is Kinkakuji Temple." Tenku got up from his seat and said to the girls. Setsuka and the others followed suit, and they answered in unison.
"Let's go!"
