Using the companies he introduced as leverage, Aozaki Bank successfully met the deposit amount stipulated by the Ministry of Finance.
In two years and three months, it has acquired many small banks and has now grown to a considerable size.
But this is still just foreplay.
The Ministry of Finance is the leading department in Japan's financial system, but they haven't really taken any real action yet.
When the big banks set off.
At that time, even the Kuonji family will not be able to avoid it and will also be drawn into the financial battle.
Yao's current concern is how to preserve his family business.
If things continue like this, Aozaki Bank will only be swallowed up by larger banks, and this is an order that is tacitly approved by the Ministry of Finance.
There is absolutely no industry protection.
In Japan, banks are mostly privately owned, and sometimes the authorities have to consider the influence of large conglomerates when they want to grant loans.
Therefore, small banks face the prospect of being acquired by large banks.
It's fair to say they have absolutely no resistance to it.
If these transactions that are out in the open could be resolved mysteriously, Yao wouldn't have such a headache.
Come to think of it, that's the monarch of the Clock Tower Celestial Department.
The future director of Chaldea.
Wasn't he unable to complete the Grand Order in various timelines simply because of funding issues?
In the open, magic should be kept hidden.
If you want to bring magic into the mainstream, you must at least be prepared to challenge the entire magic community.
No, that's not right either; it should be the entire history of humankind.
Even the world's largest church organization does not allow mystery to come into the open.
Because, in the doctrine of the church.
Only God and those who are favored can perform miracles.
Magicians were seen as heretics and evil spirits, and were considered to be cultists who had to be punished.
This is why the Holy Church and the Magic Association are in a cold war.
They've been fighting for centuries without any resolution.
By now, both sides have become accustomed to each other's presence, but they still maintain a hostile stance on the surface.
Just as Yao was thinking about how to develop the family business in the future.
He received a message from the Kuonji residence.
"Phew... just as expected..."
Yao hung up the phone, shook his head with a wry smile.
Then, he turned to Asagi Takeshi, who was sitting next to his desk, and said, "Uncle Takeshi, I have to leave for a while. We can deal with anything else when I get back."
Before Asagi Takeda could say anything...
Yao had already walked out of the room.
"Ha... Compared to the master's casualness, the young master is even more unrestrained when it comes to women."
Takeshi Asagi shook his head with a wry smile.
The previous heads of the branch family have always been like this, always acting decisively and efficiently.
The Asagi family served as a branch that assisted the Aozaki family.
He was already used to it.
......
They drove an 1980s convertible to Kuonji Temple.
It only took about ten minutes to get there.
There is no other reason.
It was someone from the Kuonji family who notified Yao.
No matter what, Arisu is the only daughter of the previous head of the family, and the Kuonji family cannot ignore this blood relationship.
Therefore, they will take care of Yuzhu to the bare minimum.
Yuzhu was just a teenage girl.
At least that's how it appears to ordinary people like the Kuonji family, who have nothing to do with mystery.
They sent stewards and servants to take care of Youzhu's daily life.
The Kuonji family's original intention was certainly good.
As a result, several days passed, and the stewards and servants disappeared without a trace.
Yao knew immediately that something had happened.
"Youzhu, tell me honestly, where did all those servants and stewards go? I could believe it if only one person went missing, but more than a dozen people... don't you think that's absurd?"
Yao and Youzhu sat facing each other across the table.
The table was empty, making it seem somewhat deserted.
"Well, after all, this mountain is very large and open... a disappearance of this magnitude shouldn't be too strange, right?"
"The disappearance of more than a dozen people... it would be strange if it weren't."
Yao complained, utterly speechless.
Yuzhu's sense of humor is simply hopeless.
When facing Yao, Youzhu had no intention of lying.
She was just joking about going missing, though it's hard to understand why it's funny.
"Yao, those butlers and servants... they just mess around with my house without asking my opinion."
There was something very deep hidden in Yu-joo's eyes.
But the emotions were particularly intense.
That was the opposite of her indifferent personality; it was an angry emotion that didn't match her temperament.
Although it was a relative of the Kuonji family who invited them.
However, for Youzhu, these servants and the relatives she had never met were all strangers.
As a witch, she wasn't so fragile that she needed someone to take care of her.
Youzhu doesn't need this kind of care.
Of course, she also understood the Kuonji family's thoughts.
However, this is like a cat bringing a hunted mouse to its owner's bedside to express its love.
Giving more things you don't need is pointless; in the end, you'll just throw them all in the trash.
Now that my father has passed away.
The only connection between the Yuzu and Kuonji families is their names; there is almost nothing else between them.
"I didn't do anything to them."
At best, they were turned into puppets, which is the consequence of entering a place they shouldn't have entered.
Yuzhu glanced outside the living room through her glasses, which were as dark as night.
Her voice was as flat as her gaze.
It was as if they were talking about having afternoon tea in a relaxed manner, yet their words conveyed a disregard for life.

Beautiful as a witch.
Cruel as a witch.
It clearly conveys the message that the will of outsiders is not acknowledged.
Currently, Yao is the only person she approves of; for anyone else, even stepping into this home is a sin.
"...Leave this matter to me. I'll explain things to the Kuonji family."
Yao did not intend to blame Youzhu.
Because this home is like a sacred place for her.
It's a problem caused by someone coming uninvited.
“However, Arisu, next time you do this, you can just tell me first. That way, even if I don’t turn them into dolls, I can still get them to leave.”
"I didn't expect that..."
"You really didn't expect that?"
Yao looked at Youzhu with a teasing gaze.
She turned her face away, avoiding Yao's gaze.
It is highly likely that Yuzhu lacks self-awareness; her wicked sense of humor is too fitting for the word "witch."
Even if you encounter someone you dislike.
They also don't show any emotion.
Instead, they would approach the other person and try to observe them, attempting to find aspects of the other person that they don't find repulsive.
This can sometimes lead to misunderstandings, and the other party may even get closer to Youzhu because of these misunderstandings.
This ultimately leads to the bead pressure value reaching its maximum.
Without saying a word, Yuzhu directly used swift and decisive methods to "silence" the other party.
Until the moment it is eliminated.
The other party probably doesn't know why Yuzhu did this.
This is Miss Yuzhu, who is not good with words.
Just communicating with her carries enormous risks; Yao's earlier warning to Qingzi was not unfounded.
"This mansion is so big, it can't just be the two of us living here, right? What if I told you that there will be other people living here in the future...?"
"Yao, I will not admit it."
Besides, you should have known this all along, right?
Yu-joo couldn't let down her guard against other people.
As the price for recreating so many objects and fairy tales, witches inherently despise humans.
Yao was thinking about Aoko coming to learn magic.
So, I decided to test the waters first.
"I know you hate humans... but aren't I human too? If you can accept me, why can't you try to accept other people?"
“Hmm... Yao is different, Yao is special.”
"Miss Alice, may I ask what makes it so special?"
"........"
Yuzhu fell silent for a moment.
Yao had been by her side since she could remember.
Therefore, Yuzhu really couldn't say it.
Yao felt like the sunshine she was already used to; every time she saw him, she felt refreshed and happy.
However, I can't quite put my finger on what's so special about it.
