You're pregnant with the crumb boss's child

At this time, in the study, the ledgers in front of Takatsuki Reiji were piled high, and he was checking the accounts on the ledger over and over again with his abacus.

Ever since you returned to Horikawa's house, he has been busy looking at the ledger.

But it's not right to say I'm busy...Those are old accounts, which have been checked countless times. Mr. Hattori, the housekeeper, is indeed not respectful to you, but he is loyal to the Horikawa family. There are no mistakes in the accounts, and there is no need to double-check them.

However, Takatsuki Reiji looked at these old accounts on a sudden whim.

Chikage Kazama looked at him pretending to be busy, and was so irritable that she snatched the account book in front of him and threw it in the corner, "Takatsuki...you are the one who brought her to me Yeah, why, dragged me into your bureau, but still don't want to tell me anything? Do you think... I'm such a fool? Huh?"

Chikage Kazama has said this, and Reiji Takatsuki can no longer pretend to be busy and continue to ignore him.He raised his head in distress, his eyes full of helplessness, "...the subordinates are terrified."

"Subordinates? Fear? I don't think you see me as a young master except for your words, let alone panic——you are very courageous, you want to call me here, so you come here without giving me any explanation." one?"

This too sharp line made Takatsuki Reiji roll his eyes.If you are here, you will be surprised, how could Mr. Reiji, who is so gentle and polite, make such a gaffe?However, in Kazama Chikage's view, this is his normal state.

He sighed, his eyes were full of disgust for Kazama Chikage, but he was helpless, "...well, I won't pretend to be with you anymore, I really don't want to talk to you, but..." Speaking of which , he looked at Kazama Chikage, and his expression became serious, "Qianli is dead."

"..."

Hearing this news, Kazama Chikage was also taken aback, "...Qianli died?"

"Yes."

"...I still wonder why I didn't see him, so it's like this..." He frowned somewhat annoyedly, "What's going on?"

"Killed by a bastard." Reiji gritted her teeth when she said this, "That bastard, after killing Qianli, even cast a curse on everyone in the Horikawa family, so that everyone in the Horikawa family thought he was It's Qianli, who... violated her and let her give birth to his child." At this point, Li Er clenched her teeth, clenched her fists, her nails dug into her flesh, and a little bit of blood leaked from her fingers. Bloodshot, "Before she gave birth to a child, that bastard disappeared overnight for some reason, until now..."

Hearing this, Chikage Kazama was also stunned.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say—it was really a surprise to him that Qianli died.

In any case, Qianli is also a pure-blood ghost, even if he is not good at fighting, he is not an existence that can be killed casually.How could a mere bastard be able to kill thousands of miles casually?Even if there have been heroes like Hijikata Toshizo among the lowly breeds, they are only rare after all, how can they meet one so easily?

But more importantly... Kazama Chikage narrowed her eyes, "That bastard took Qianli's position? Could it be... is he plotting to attack the ghost clan...?"

"The Hattori reported that he never inquired into the affairs of the clan, and, from the accounts, he did nothing." Reiji shook his head, patted the thick stack of books beside him, "even took care of It’s as good as when Qianli was there, without even transferring property.”

"..." Kazama Chikage frowned in confusion, "Then why is he replacing Qianli???"

Li Er shrugged and spread her hands, "Maybe your engraving is too strong?"

"..." Chikage Kazama's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

He knew what Li Er said.

If he hadn't abandoned his duties as the head of the ghost clan of the West, there would be no need for Qianli to take care of his property here.

If it wasn't for him to abandon his bride, your husband who needs to face the danger of attack because of the temptation to covet you, would not be Qianli, but him.

Although he never thought of harming Qianli, but... Qianli did die because of him.

Kazama Chikage closed her eyes heavily, and took a deep breath, "So, you came to me...to avenge Qianli?"

"Yes." Li Er nodded. "That bastard's child is quite good... That bastard should be quite strong. If I meet him... I'm not confident that I can win."

Chikage Kazama understood his subtext, and let out a disdainful smile, "You think I can?"

Takatsuki Reiji didn't answer, but Kazama Chikage didn't need his answer either, the answer was naturally without any suspense.

However, Chikage Kazama laughed at herself and turned her face away, "...It's not like I haven't lost before."

Yes, even he, the young master of the Kazama clan, the strongest pure-blooded ghost who was supposed to inherit the position of ghost head, lead and protect the entire ghost clan of the West, had once been defeated by the lowly race. shame.

Back then, he thought that since he was the strongest ghost, he was the strongest existence in Japan, no matter whether it was human beings or those fakes who tried to transform into ghosts by various means, no one could defeat him. In his eyes, everyone else was like ants and dust, humble and not worth mentioning, except for the young master of the Ghost Clan of the West who should have stood in the same position as him——Yukimura Chizuru.

But what makes people crazy is that Yukimura Chizuru was turned into a complete waste by the clansmen who took her away, and mixed with a group of idiots who coveted the power of the ghost clan beyond their control, and finally entrusted herself to a Lowly Rakshasa... What's even more ridiculous is that he, who wanted to bring her back to the ghost clan and lead her back to the right path, was defeated by that lowly Rakshasa!

And it was a crushed defeat like a sword piercing the chest and piercing the heart.

If he wasn't a ghost, that one blow would have been enough to kill him.But although he survived, his pride and self-confidence died.

What made him even more unacceptable was that the man who defeated him like this died from a stray bullet that came from nowhere and whose target it was.

... Such an ending can be said to be absurd.

What exactly is your own strength?

Personal bravery is meaningless in front of the Fireball Team.

Not to mention now, half a century has passed, it seems that countless weapons stronger than firecrackers and cannons appear in this world every day. It is said that Westerners have already created aircraft that can fly into the sky. Throwing bombs from high altitudes that even archers can't reach, and ships hidden in the sea, where no trace can be seen from the sea. During the years he stayed in Yoshiwara, he has seen countless barbarians bragging about their country How powerful it was, enslaved the entire American continent, conquered the legendary India where every inch of land was covered with spices and gold, and smashed open the gate of Heaven/Chaoshang Kingdom with opium and gunfire...

The more he saw, the more he felt how small and powerless he was.

But his clansman still had a decadent dream. The ghost clan in the dream was a race better than humans. The furious Tokugawa Ieyasu slaughtered the entire clan, but the Nishi Oni Clan still had such a dream, and to this day, they still want to match him with a woman who has the blood of the Empress Nakamiya.

How ridiculous this is.

However, all of this is completely irrelevant to Takatsuki Reiji.He shrugged nonchalantly, "I don't want to worry about your fragile self-esteem and pride, but... I want to avenge Qianli. I can't do it alone," he stood up and grabbed the wind. Jian Qianjing's collar, pulled the man over, and looked straight into his eyes, which were usually as gentle as honey, filled with the determination to avenge his friends, "This is what you owe him." , you must help me."

You are right, this is what he owes a thousand miles.Kazama Chika nodded, took a deep breath, and solemnly replied: "...OK."

After getting an affirmative answer, Takatsuki Reiji finally loosened Chikage Kazama's collar.

"Then, is this explanation enough? Less—Master—?"

"It's okay." Chikage Kazama adjusted the collar that had just been torn apart, "But I still have a question."

"Huh?" Takatsuki Reiji raised her eyebrows, motioning for him to continue talking.

"...Why didn't you marry her? Didn't you ask me to ask her to go?"
