The Gemini Princess wants me to confess my feelings!

Chapter 22 Accident

Mori Kiyoha remembered that the night before last, when she was arguing with her mother, her mother said something.

"You are a disgrace to this family," Mori Akari said.

The Mori family, a prestigious family with a long history, comes from a distinguished background, yet they don't live up to their reputation... they don't even do what women should do, they don't cultivate themselves, they're not prudent or stable, they dye their hair in a rebellious way, and they associate with those shady people. How can you not call them a disgrace?

Mori Kiyoha thought she was used to her scolding, but she didn't expect to be so easily angered by a single word.

She actually didn't like those "friends" outside. She couldn't fit into their circles, couldn't talk about fighting and killing, and couldn't talk about fashion trends.

She didn't dislike the men and women, she just found them noisy.

After that night, looking at her tightly bandaged hand, which was slightly stinging, Mori Kiyoha wavered for a moment.

Do I have a partner now?

This sense of security shattered the day after tomorrow when she saw gifts delivered to her home in boxes.

She knew who sent these things and to whom they were given.

It's laughable, really. The prestigious Mori family forbids their daughter from associating with "shady" people, yet they maintain connections with the underworld.

She also knew what it meant when the other party sent a gift.

The reasons behind their overtures to wealthy families are nothing more than these few things.

She needs to take action.

......

So today, as usual, Mori Kiyoha dismissed her bodyguards and mingled with a small group of men and women.

At first glance, the way the small group interacts seems to isolate Mori Kiyoha. Generally, no one will easily talk to her, and boys are even less likely to take a step closer to her.

This is actually their awe and respect for Mori Kiyoha.

In fact, they had never quite understood why Mori Kiyoha would condescend to associate with their group.

Some guessed it was because of her rebelliousness, while others guessed it was because she had a conflict with her family.

Later, Mori Kiyoha subtly expressed her meaning.

This scion of a wealthy family actually dreams of the underworld!

Knowing this, they finally became acquaintances with each other.

to today.

Ayano Ueno has blonde hair and is a relatively new face in the group. She joined this semester and quickly gained everyone's acceptance with her sunny and enthusiastic personality.

She was also the only one who would take the initiative to talk to Mori Kiyoha.

When they started playing board games over there, Ayano Ueno approached her alone and said that she had a friend who had connections with the underworld, and asked Kiyoha Mori if she was interested in getting to know him.

Mori Kiyoha naturally showed hesitation, displaying both anticipation and some uncertainty.

At the time, Mori Kiyoha said, "Yakuza people are all righteous people. When I was doing volunteer work, I saw them helping the elderly, children, and the vulnerable everywhere. I know that, but... will my contact with them cause trouble?"

As soon as he said those words, Mori Kiyoha felt like vomiting.

"No, it's all done privately, quietly." Ayano Ueno said, handing Kiyoha Mori a package and telling her that if she was interested, she should take the package to the mall and store it in a numbered locker. Someone would then contact her.

Mori Kiyoha agreed.

Of course, she knew what was going on, and she knew even better what those who instructed Ayano Ueno wanted to do.

Her sister and Kirihara Akira have already vividly explained the intricacies of this matter.

Knowing this, Mori Kiyoha still did as instructed.

As a canary in a gilded cage, Mori Kiyoha doesn't have many bargaining chips. If she wants to get something, she has to take certain risks, get involved, and exchange something for it.

She had a similar plan a long time ago, until Kirihara Akira arrived and taught her the tricks of the trade and how to deal with them.

To prepare for potential framing and slander, she prepared a voice recorder. After delivering the goods, she might face threats from the underworld, so she pretended to send her bodyguards away, but actually kept Kurokawa by her side at all times in case he was unable to protect her. After delivering the goods, she chose a place with people passing by from time to time and an open space to wait.

To prepare for any unforeseen circumstances and prevent any mishaps on Kurokawa's side, she specifically instructed her trusted maid, Asahi Kasano, to maintain contact at fixed intervals from the start of the delivery. Each contact required a corresponding code word. If she did not reply promptly or answered the wrong code word, Asahi Kasano would notify the household butler, Kawasaki, to send someone to rescue her.

This is the most appropriate arrangement she could make, given her abilities.

The most difficult thing to control in this matter is the actions of the underworld; Mori Kiyoha has no initiative to actively implement the plan.

Based on previously received intelligence, Mori Kiyoha knew that the yakuza were going to target the two sisters. In order to lure them in, she disguised herself as a fool who admired the yakuza and an innocent young girl.

The Suruga Group has two methods: delivering goods and framing someone, which is the kind she can accept; if it's the other kind, she will refuse directly.

The other party might not even take the bait. If they don't, she won't lose anything. She can just come up with another trick later.

In the end, it turned out that she was quite lucky... well, you could say she was pretty lucky.

With her shoulder bag slung over her shoulder, Mori Kiyoha waited for nearly ten minutes in the mall's underground passage before finally spotting some furtive figures.

She put away her phone and turned on the voice recorder as she reached into her pocket.

They drew closer, and the older woman who seemed to be their agent stared at Mori Kiyoha for a moment before asking, "You're Mori Kiyoha, right?"

Mori Kiyoha glanced at her and said, "It's me."

The woman smiled and said, "Actually, I saw you standing here a while ago, but we were delayed for a while to confirm some things."

Out of the corner of her eye, Mori Kiyoha saw that the package she had just put in was taken out and opened, and someone was recording it.

The woman smiled smugly: "Of course, it's to confirm whether the video of the second young lady of the Mori family, Mori Kiyoha, transporting contraband was clearly recorded."

"What do you mean?" Mori Kiyoha asked routinely, knowing perfectly well what the other person was about to say.

Sure enough, the other party said, "You probably don't know what was in that package, do you?"

Inside are contraband items that could land you in jail. Tsk tsk, the entire process, from receiving the goods to delivery, was filmed clearly. With this video, the police might even suspect that the Mori family is smuggling contraband.

Despite being mentally prepared, Mori Kiyoha was still taken aback by the overly formulaic remarks.

Mori Kiyoha couldn't help but sigh, and said with a frown, "You're framing me."

"The evidence is irrefutable, how could it be a frame-up?"

According to the plan, she only needed to induce the other party to say enough things, and then the recording could be given to the police or directly to their family; either way, she could achieve her goal.

This at least proves that the yakuza, who outwardly maintain harmony with the Mori family, harbor malicious intentions at their core.

After this, she will probably truly lose her freedom, but that's enough. At least there won't be another disgusting and terrifying underworld boss harassing her and her sister.

With this in mind, Mori Kiyoha acted like a stage actor, playing the role of the perfect victim.

According to their plan, as long as he acted as if he was terrified, they would assume that their target would obey them and let him go.

However, at this moment... an accident occurred.

The woman went to answer a phone call, and when she returned, her expression became extremely ferocious.

She said, "As expected of someone from a prestigious family, their mind is indeed meticulous."

A sense of foreboding washed over Mori Kiyoha, and she asked, "What do you mean?"

"Are you going to hand over the recording pen yourself, or am I going to search you?"
