Kyoto, an ancient manor near the Imperial Palace. This is the main residence of the Fujiwara family.

This manor has a history of hundreds of years. It has been renovated multiple times, with the most recent renovation being a complete modernization about ten years ago.

After all, living in this kind of ancient manor is not comfortable at all; it's merely a symbol of status. Even ancient emperors' residences weren't as comfortable as modern people's homes.

The Emperor's inner palace doesn't have air conditioning either!

The Fujiwara family is not an old-fashioned family. They made the ancient manor more modernized, and the old master of the Fujiwara family also fully supported it.

The entire manor has four courtyards, resembling some beautiful ancient gardens found in ancient capitals.

Everywhere within the manor, security personnel can be seen, acting with extreme caution.

Recently, the crime rate in Neon* has risen sharply, and tomorrow, those attending the Fujiwara family's old master's banquet will all be high officials and dignitaries.

If anything were to happen, it would absolutely be major news that would shock Neon.

A silver Ferrari stopped in the exclusive parking lot. Fujiwara Tetsu, Haibara Ai, and Fujiwara Chika, led by the old butler, walked into the garden.

Such a manor is something money can't buy in Neon today. Generally, these ancient properties are treated as museums, or opened up as parks.

"Chika!"

Fujiwara Tetsu, who was walking in the manor, heard the shouting voices of two girls, one big and one small.

He looked fixedly, and saw two girls who looked similar to Fujiwara Chika in appearance, running quickly towards them with smiles on their faces.

"Eldest Young Lady, Third Young Lady!"

The old butler saw the newcomers and lowered his head respectfully.

Fujiwara Chika waved at them and shouted loudly, "Older sister! Moeha! Look what I found! I found our older brother who has been missing for many years!"

Fujiwara Tetsu glanced at Fujiwara Chika. He just felt a headache coming on again, but looking at her lively movements, it was also quite amusing.

"Then Big Sis Fumie and Moeha are my sisters!"

The eldest sister, Fujiwara Fumie, came to Fujiwara Tetsu. Her figure was extremely voluptuous, and she had the kind of plump, round face that men like. She looked like she had the aura of a big sister.

Compared to Fujiwara Chika, Fujiwara Fumie's personality was much more stable and gentle. She smiled and greeted him: "Tetsu-kun, my name is Fujiwara Fumie. I am currently attending a university in Kyoto and should be in my second year."

"Sister Fumie."

Fujiwara Tetsu nodded slightly. His attitude was neither particularly close nor distant.

"Wow, I didn't expect I also had such a cool younger brother! Tetsu-kun, is this your first time in Kyoto? Sister will take you around well when you have time?"

Fujiwara Fumie spoke very openly, making her quite likable.

"Older Brother!"

Just at this moment, a petite figure dashed into Fujiwara Tetsu's arms. It was the youngest sister of the Fujiwara family, Fujiwara Moeha.

She also had a cute little round face, pink hair tied into shoulder-length twin tails, and a pair of big eyes that were truly adorable.

Fujiwara Tetsu subconsciously held the girl's shoulder, feeling the soft touch clinging to him. His expression was slightly surprised.

He remembered Moeha should be a first-year junior high student, right? This height is a bit excessive!

Looking at Fujiwara Fumie and Fujiwara Chika again, they were all girls who could make countless men drool with their size. The Fujiwara family seems to be quite blessed in this regard.

"Hey, Brother Tetsu, I saw that video of yours. It was really cool! I'll secretly tell you, my classmates are really jealous of you!"

"Brother, you must take a picture with me later! I'll post it in the group and make them envious. They actually didn't believe you were my older brother!"

Fujiwara Moeha squeezed her fist and waved it vigorously, revealing a small tiger tooth*.

These sisters of the Fujiwara family didn't show any distance whatsoever. Even meeting Fujiwara Tetsu for the first time, it gave him a sense of familiarity, like brothers and sisters who grew up together.

"Alright, however you want to take the photo is fine."

Fujiwara Tetsu agreed to one older sister and two younger sisters, watching them chatter non-stop.

In the end, the old butler had to mediate for him: "Three Young Ladies, the Old Master is waiting for Young Master Tetsu. There will be time for you after Young Master Tetsu has seen the Old Master."

The three sisters of the Fujiwara family were not willful. Seeing this, they finally let go of Fujiwara Tetsu for the time being.

Fujiwara Moeha waved goodbye to Fujiwara Tetsu with a smile: "Brother Tetsu, come find me later!"

Sister Fumie also smiled gently: "Do you want to have a drink with your sister tonight?"

"I want to drink too!"

"Chika, you're too young; you can't drink."

"Wow, why can't I drink? I want to try the taste of wine too!"

"..."

Fujiwara Tetsu looked at Haibara Ai, who was quietly beside him at this moment: "Ai, wait for me here for a bit."

"You don't need to worry about me."

Haibara Ai wasn't a real elementary student, which made Fujiwara Tetsu quite relieved.

The old butler said: "The Three Young Ladies will look after Miss Ai. Young Master, you can rest assured."

This was precisely what Fujiwara Tetsu was most worried about.

If it were just Haibara Ai alone, it might be fine.

But here were three girls from the Fujiwara family, and then something might happen...

However, Fujiwara Tetsu had no other choice. He walked with the old butler towards the main residence, leaving Haibara Ai here.

The three women of the Fujiwara family were very warm towards Haibara Ai, not at all treating her as a stranger. They enthusiastically invited her to go to a courtyard to rest and chat.

Fujiwara Tetsu wasn't good at talking politely. Furthermore, towards this overly enthusiastic woman, he wouldn't respond.

Fortunately, Haibara Ai's current appearance was that of an elementary school student. Even if she didn't speak, people would assume she was just shy, and wouldn't think too much about it.

Looking at these women who had a close relationship with Fujiwara Tetsu, she quietly analyzed them.

That Fujiwara Chika had brain problems, but the eldest sister Fujiwara Fumie's personality was very gentle, and the third sister Fujiwara Moeha was also lively and cute. They all seemed relatively normal.

As soon as she had this thought, she saw Fujiwara Moeha's eyes light up. Excited, she said: "Older brother is truly too cool, and so powerful! So many bad guys can't defeat him."

"I really want to tie Brother up in the basement... and do this and that to him...hehehe!"

Fujiwara Moeha wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

No, this isn't right, is this a first-year junior high student? This way of thinking is too...

Haibara Ai felt a pain in her chest.

Fujiwara Fumie replied with a gentle smile: "Moeha, you must bring your older sister with you."

Haibara Ai covered her head in pain.

It seems my own judgment was wrong. These three sisters of the Fujiwara family don't seem to be ordinary people. They are all strange!

...

The main residence of the Fujiwara family. Flowing water and streams. The occasional soft calls of deer in the forest and garden came from time to time.

Inside the main house, a framed Chinese character hung on the wall. The old master of the Fujiwara family had a strong build. He was wearing a kimono and looked at the cup of tea emitting a pleasant aroma.

He glanced at the two sons kneeling in front of him, Fujiwara Gishou and Fujiwara Masanori, and said: "Gishou, how are things going in the Ministry of Diplomacy?"

"What else could it be like? Anyway, I'm just coasting along."

Fujiwara Gishou said, shrugging his shoulders.

Regarding this eldest son of his, who didn't strive for progress and didn't want to bear the family's responsibilities, the old master had given up on him long ago.

His second son, Gishou, was currently a government minister. Although he didn't seek advancement, as long as he didn't cause trouble for the family, that was enough.

The old master looked at Gishou, who was now a cabinet minister, and said meaningfully after a few sips of tea: "Your current position is almost at the top. If you want to go further, you'll have to compete for the position of Prime Minister."

"As for me, I don't recommend you compete. You know your own capabilities, and compared to the other candidates, you don't have an advantage. Rather than failing the competition then, it's better to stay in your current position from the start."

"Furthermore, some of your ideas and policies, even if you actually succeeded in competing, you wouldn't stay in that position for long."

The old master of the Fujiwara family said meaningfully: "...Your policies are not in the interests of the powerful."

The replacement of the Prime Minister in Neon is very fast. At the very least, they don't serve for more than four years. The shortest ones have stepped down in just two months.

As Prime Minister in Neon, you're not just responsible for the citizens of Neon; you also have to be responsible for the interests of the powerful*. If your policies harm the interests of the powerful, the powerful will have countless ways to make you disappear.

Fujiwara Gishou said nonchalantly: "Father, I also didn't prepare to compete for Prime Minister. My current position is just fine. I won't strive for a meaningless top position. I'll just stay comfortably where I am."

The old master was very satisfied with this self-awareness of his. Just as the old master was about to say something, the old butler came in and spoke softly in a low voice.

The old master Fujiwara's face lit up. He waved his hand and said to his two sons: "Tetsu is outside. You two go out first. Especially you, Gishou. He probably doesn't want to see you."

Fujiwara Gishou was helpless. He and his brother stood up and left.

After walking out of the main house, Fujiwara Tetsu, who was waiting outside, saw the two of them.

Fujiwara Masanori, wearing glasses, smiled kindly and greeted him. Fujiwara Tetsu, however, faced his nominal 'father' Gishou with an indifferent expression.

He maintained an uncaring attitude towards this 'father' of his.

Since Fujiwara Tetsu chose to return to the Fujiwara family, it meant he was prepared to integrate into this family.

However, facing Fujiwara Gishou, he absolutely couldn't show a good face.

Someone capable of becoming a high official is naturally a person with extreme ambition and strong desires for power.

If he gave Fujiwara Gishou a good face, this man would definitely try to gain an inch after getting an opportunity. He would definitely try to control his life. Fujiwara Gishou was a typical example of a Kazoku member with a strong desire for power. He would definitely try to control this son of his.

Especially since Fujiwara Tetsu needed to borrow the Fujiwara family's resources to help himself climb to a high position. If Fujiwara Gishou knew he had this plan, he would definitely try to control him using the Fujiwara family's resources.

Therefore, if he wanted to defy convention and achieve his goals, and if he wanted to control his 'father' through this son, he must seize control when Fujiwara Gishou showed timidity towards him.

Especially, he needed to make the Fujiwara family believe that his rise to a high position wasn't for himself, but for the Fujiwara family, to maintain the family's strength. Therefore, they needed to strongly support him.

This point must absolutely not be reversed.

Only then could Fujiwara Tetsu take the initiative and slowly become the head of the Fujiwara family later.

No matter what others say or do, it only makes people feel like he's easy to handle.

This is like talking about falling in love. The more you make someone feel you value this relationship, the less they care about you.

The more you make someone feel you don't care about this relationship, the more they will value you. People are always so cheap!

Thinking about these things, Fujiwara Tetsu entered the main house and saw the head of the Fujiwara family.

Facing this elderly person, Fujiwara Tetsu didn't show any pleasant expression but casually called out, "Old man!"
