Chapter 212 Don't worry, I'm definitely not that kind of person!
The Yukinoshita family residence in Tokyo, while smaller in area than the Chitanda residence located outside the city center, is not as luxurious as the Shinomiya family mansion located in the city center.
However, Yukinoshita, which also occupies an entire park in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has its own unique charm despite its small size.
As they stepped into the front yard with Haruno, Lady Yukinoshita was already waiting for them at the door.
Lady Yukinoshita showed no surprise when she saw Uchiha Ryo; she simply smiled at him and led everyone into the inner hall.
Lady Yukinoshita: "Yino, you don't have any plans for summer vacation, do you?"
"No, not at all."
"Okay, then you'll come to the company with me starting tomorrow, and I'll teach you how to manage."
Lady Yukinoshita's gaze then turned to Yukino behind Uchiha Ryo.
"As for Yukino, stay home during summer vacation. I've arranged piano and aikido lessons for you, so remember to study hard."
Yukino: "...I understand."
Lady Yukinoshita nodded. "Yono, go and help Yukino tidy up the room. Ryou-kun, please come in first. We can't leave guests outside."
After Haruno left with Yukino, only Uchiha Ryo and Lady Yukinoshita remained in the hall.
"Aunt Yukinoshita, aren't you curious why I followed you here?"
Lady Yukinoshita sat in the main seat and pushed the teacup she had prepared in advance to the side.
"Please have a seat. I'm not sure why you came, but I'm not curious about it. What does interest me, however, is... your identity and purpose."
Uchiha Ryo picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and waited quietly for Snow Mother's next question.
"First of all, what are your thoughts on my second daughter?"
Uchiha Ryo: "Yukino is a good girl, I won't let her go."
Yuki's mother chuckled softly, "So you're saying you won't let go, but your identity shouldn't cause any problems for Yukino, right?"
Lady Yukinoshita's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression.
"Your family is very ordinary, but the Shinomiya family values you so highly. And this high regard is not because of Shinomiya Kaguya, who is also in Shuchiin, but because of Shinomiya Untaka, who is at the height of his power in the Shinomiya family."
"Why is the massive Shinomiya conglomerate so respectful to you...? I don't believe in cooperation between unequal parties. There are only two possibilities for friendly relations between two parties: either one party is far stronger than the other, but unable to devour it, or the other is peaceful development between equal parties."
Uchiha Ryo smiled but didn't say anything. Lady Yukinoshita was very smart; it seemed she had already guessed what was going on. However, this wasn't a bad thing for Uchiha Ryo at the moment.
Snow Mother: "Your status is extraordinary, and there are only a handful of hidden forces in the world that can make the Shinomiya family wary and cooperate with you."
"Foreign forces? Doesn't seem like it. A core organization in Japan? This isn't a movie. So... you don't belong to any ordinary force!"
Lady Yukinoshita was very confident; she seemed to genuinely believe that she had confirmed Uchiha Rin's identity.
"Onmyoji... Kakeruin, am I right?"
Uchiha Ryo: "But my surname is Uchiha~ so how can I be a member of the Kakeruin clan?"
Snow Mother: "The rumors about the Huakaiyuan clan are actually known to many people in our circle. Although they mostly live in seclusion, they occasionally send disciples out to travel in order to ensure that their population does not decline."
"I doubt that the disciples of the Kakeru Institution who are traveling abroad would be foolish enough to reveal their identities using their real names, would they?"
[Kasaiin Yura: Keep insulting me!]
Uchiha Ryo pondered for a moment, "I do have some skills, and it is because of these skills that Shinomiya Un'taka cooperated with me."
Hearing Uchiha Ryo's confirmation, Lady Yukinoshita's smile finally softened. "In that case, I will keep it a secret for Ryo-kun. Apart from the Shinomiya and Yukinoshita families, I will not let anyone else know your identity as an Onmyoji through me."
Mrs. Yukinoshita: "Oh, by the way, my husband is a member of parliament, so he'll be away at a meeting this week and won't be coming home much."
Huh? What does your husband not coming home have to do with me? Why are you telling me?!
Just as Uchiha Ryo was about to speak, Yuki's mother continued.
"Tomorrow, I will take Yukino to the company to familiarize herself with things. Yukino is all alone at home, so I hope Lingjun can take good care of her."
Uchiha Ryo breathed a sigh of relief. What? So he was just asking me to take care of Yukino. He thought... cough cough.
"Auntie, since Yukino doesn't have any plans for this summer vacation, can I take her back home? I'm sure you can tell that Yukino doesn't seem to want to stay at home."
Lady Yukinoshita turned her head away. "At least stay at home for a few days..."
.....
Upon entering the inner courtyard, Yukino Yukinoshita was sitting by the small garden looking at her phone. When she noticed Uchiha Ryo approaching, she quickly called out to him.
"Ling-kun, you must treat our Yukino well, okay?"
She really looks like a good older sister; they must have a very good relationship...
Haruno: "Let me tell you, Yukino's room is... Here, this is the spare key. If she dares to lock the door, just open it!"
"What a good sister!" Uchiha Ryo took the keys. "Thank you. I might be staying here for a few days. Where shall I stay?"
Yang Nai: "Aren't you going to give me the key?"
Uchiha Ryo: "...Then I'll accept it without hesitation."
Yang quickly grabbed Uchiha Ling, who was about to turn and leave, "Oh, you really don't understand jokes. I won't be home for the next few days, so you can stay in my room, which is next to Yukino's."
As she spoke, she tossed over another key, which apparently belonged to her room.
.....
"Don't worry, Yang Nai! I'm definitely not that kind of person!"
Yukino Shino gave a soft snort and turned to leave. Meanwhile, Ryo Uchiha headed towards Yukino's room.
As he approached the room, Uchiha Ryo gradually lightened his pace.
The door to the room was not closed, so Uchiha Ryo cautiously peeked inside.
Yukino sat there quietly, looking at something with a piece of paper in her hand, unaware of Uchiha Ryo at the door.
However, Yanyunjiang on the bed immediately raised her head and noticed her master's approach.
Shhh!
Uchiha Ryo gestured for Yanyun to be quiet. If this were a game world, a message would probably pop up saying "Press F to assassinate".
[F] is activated. Uchiha Rin takes a step forward, and the gummy candy is already in her mouth.
The cat, who was lying on the bed, couldn't stand seeing this. It jumped off the bed and ran out of the room, but after a while it came back and closed the door.
