As it turned out, Izuki Karuta was walking to the side, and neither of them saw each other.

Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi are a bit too lively, and the director on set is worried that it might affect the rehearsals.

The staff then led Izuki Karuta and the others to wait by the sofa on one side of the studio.

While waiting, Professor Agasa's tension was visibly palpable.

Today's interview will be with the head of the Achiba Group, known as the King of Naniwa Real Estate, a truly important figure.

Izuki Karuta was a little puzzled. How could Dr. Agasa, an inventor, be related to real estate?

Sonoko introduced from the side: "This Mr. Achiba is also the president of the Satsuki-kai, which focuses on promoting karuta (flower cards)."

"Over the past 20 years, the Satsuki-kai Hanafuda Tournament has developed into a national competition, thanks in no small part to the help of Chairman Achiba."

"Doctor, if you're nervous, you can talk to the president about topics related to karuta."

At this moment, the three elementary school students also found relevant information in the magazine on the coffee table.

At this time, the karuta tournament was in full swing, and there were many articles about Chairman Achiba in the magazine.

A useful piece of information is that Chairman Achiba is a bit superstitious and washes his car thoroughly before races.

His wife was also highly skilled in karuta (Japanese card game) and had previously served as the president of the Satsuki-kai. Unfortunately, she passed away three years ago due to illness.

Mitsuhiko pointed to a man with a fierce face in a magazine photo and asked, "Sonoko-neechan, do you know who this guy is?"

"Is he Chairman Achiba's son?"

The man was standing next to Chairman Achiba, and they seemed to have a close relationship.

Sonoko shook her head. "That's his secretary, Kaieda Togo. He's supposedly in charge of handling some shady business."

"But he resigned now and I don't know where he went."

Izuki Karuta asked curiously, "Sonoko, how do you even know the name of the president's bodyguard?"

Sonoko smiled and said, "My mom gave me a mission when I came to Osaka this time. It's not just a trip for fun."

was saying,

Chairman Achiba appeared in the studio surrounded by bodyguards.

He had a dignified appearance, gray hair, and was dressed smartly, looking every bit the successful person.

Upon his arrival, all the staff present put down their work.

The two people who participated in the rehearsal also left the stage.

"You brought out the flower cards so quickly?"

Chairman Achiba noticed that the safe in the middle of the stage had been opened.

The director of the karuta tournament explained, "We took it out in advance because we were going to record a promotional video for Mr. Yajima's karuta."

President Achiba: "Oh, today we're recording an exhibition match between Yajima and Momiji first, and then there's a talk show afterwards, right?"

The director nodded. "However, we've run into a bit of trouble. We can't get in touch with Mr. Yajima; he's not answering his calls..."

Chairman Achiba frowned. "Then call Sekine to come, so as not to affect the program's promotion."

The director immediately complied.

Then, the staff guided us to a private waiting room.

President Achiba noticed a very strong gaze and suddenly turned his head, only to see several people sitting on a sofa on one side of the studio.

Soon, Chairman Achiba, accompanied by several bodyguards, walked to the sofa with a smile on his face:

"Mr. Yizhu, it's been half a month since I last saw you. I never expected to run into you here."

Itake Karuta responded with a smile.

About two weeks ago, this Chairman Achiba visited the reception room to inquire about his fortune.

At that time, everything was going well for him; he was even a little lucky.

However, the president's luck is not so good right now.

My divine sense detected something strange about the president.

Izuki Shigeta didn't say much, but just stared at him with a half-smile.

Achiba felt a chill run down his spine and turned to the director beside him: "Could it be that I'm talking to Mr. Itake today? That would be wonderful!"

The smile on Professor Agasa's face, who was about to shake hands, froze instantly. He coughed twice, but it went unnoticed.

Izuki Karuta began to explain, "The person the chairman is talking to today is the great inventor from Tokyo, Dr. Agasa."

"I just came to the TV station with a friend."

Dr. Agasa's smile returned, and he prepared to introduce himself.

As a result, Chairman Achiba glanced at it but ignored it, and once again instructed the director to treat Izuki Karuta well.

"Today I have to keep an eye on all the preparations for the karuta tournament."

"Mr. Yizhu, please come to my home as a guest when you have time another day."

After saying that, Chairman Achiba led his group to the side to continue their inspection.

Dr. Agasa looked annoyed. He had wanted to chat with Chairman Achiba for a few minutes before the conversation started, but he was being treated like he was invisible.

An angry Professor Agasa began flipping through relevant magazines, saying defiantly, "Since he's so disrespectful! I'll ask him a few questions later!"

Upon hearing this, Izuki Karuta chuckled inwardly.

It's uncertain whether the talk show will even be able to start normally later...

Chapter 235 A Bride Throws Herself into My Arms, My Destined Husband

Izuki Karuta has a habit

Every time I arrive at a place, I scan it with my divine sense.

I noticed some dangerous items in the TV station when I was downstairs.

Now, a controller-like device has been detected on Chairman Achiba.

Then he understood where the malevolent aura emanating from Ooka Momiji came from.

“Mr. Yizhu, please come with me.”

Upon hearing the instructions, a staff member prepared to lead the way to the waiting room.

Izuki Karuta waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to visit and walk around the television station.

The staff then produced a visitor badge, which allowed people to enter areas that were not open to non-staff members.

Sonoko and Ayumi also followed Itake Karuda.

Professor Agasa then went to the waiting room.

Mitsuhiko and Genta heard that there were toys and snacks there, so they went along too.

Afterwards, Izuki Karuta moved around the television station.

The sightseeing tour is a pretense.

Actually, it was to absorb the bad luck of those unlucky people on the TV station.

The chairman's plan to cause an explosion would inevitably implicate many people, but it would also create a lot of malevolent energy.

after an hour.

The three of them walked down the corridor of the television station.

Heading to Professor Agasa's lounge.

Izuki Karita absorbed over 50 units of malevolent energy.

Besides the fact that there are many unlucky people because of the impending explosion.

The Reversal 577 Mysterious Heaven Skill was upgraded to the eighth level, and with the increase in mental attributes,

This also significantly increased the number of times Izuki Shizuta absorbed evil energy each day.

Coming to the TV station with Sonoko today was definitely the right decision.

Thinking of this, Izuki Karita skillfully pulled Sonoko into his arms and kissed her.

"W-Why so suddenly..."

Sonoko felt a mix of sweetness and shyness. "Ayumi's right here..."

If she were doing something else, Sonoko wouldn't worry about being noticed.

But now, Ayumi is staring at the two of them in surprise, clearly having seen it.

One or two staff members passing by in the corridor also glanced at the scene briefly.

There's no reason.

"Just because I like doing it."

As she spoke, Izuki Karita kissed her again.
