Money Can Make the World Go Round
"What are you kidding?!"
In a luxurious office, a tall and sharply dressed man firmly rejected the fox-masked young man sitting on the sofa across from him.
"This is a fireworks show! A fireworks show attended by hundreds of thousands, even millions of people! How could the fireworks be ignited so quickly?"
Expressing his unhappiness in one breath, the man in the suit leaned back on the sofa, picked up his teacup, and drank slowly.
Honestly, he didn't want to meet with this young man named Kamikawa at all.
Moreover, as the person in charge of the fireworks show, this was his busiest stage.
It could be said that there was absolutely no spare time.
Then why was he eventually accepted?
It was because he heard his secretary say that this young man wanted to advance the time of the fireworks show.
At that time, he thought that an important person had come to watch the fireworks, because his schedule was difficult to adjust, so he sent someone to adjust the time here.
But after the actual meeting, he was truly disappointed.
Really great, he just thought too much.
Judging from his attire, this young man was only 20 years old and couldn't be a trusted person of any importance.
Moreover, the young man named Kamikawa still pretended to wear the fox mask, even without showing his face.
He didn't have any aura of a superior person; he was just an ordinary person who came to watch the fireworks show.
The only interesting thing was that this young man came carrying a large silver-colored box.
It was almost the same size as a suitcase, very eye-catching.
However, because he chose to accept the reception, he still had to be careful and leave immediately so as not to affect his reputation, so as not to spread any rumors.
By the way, he also listened to the young man's thoughts.
In short, there was no reason, just wanting the fireworks show to be advanced by half an hour.
Then, he said something like that.
He thought there was nothing wrong with what he did.
Even if someone made excessive demands on the fireworks show, as the person in charge, in such a busy time, he still obediently accepted that person and gave an answer.
He was too dedicated.
After the fireworks show was over, he needed to do a little self-promotion.
Wearing the fox mask, Ren asked loudly, "Are we not allowed to let the fireworks explode first?"
"No, I just answered this question."
Putting down his teacup, the man in the suit gradually became impatient.
"If there's nothing else to do, hurry up and leave. I don't have time to chat with you here."
He wasted three full minutes of his valuable time on this young man.
Especially now that the fireworks show was less than an hour and a half away.
The large silver box was lifted by Ren and placed on the coffee table between them.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing the large silver box in front of him, the man in the suit had already guessed in his mind, but he still pretended not to know anything.
Following Hayasaka's instructions in the earphone, Ren said slowly, "As long as the fireworks are lit half an hour earlier, this will be yours."
"The time to light the fireworks has been determined long ago. How could it be so easy to change the time as you like?"
It was clear that the tone of the man in the suit was much softer than before, and his attitude was not too harsh.
With a single click, he opened the large silver box.
After seeing the contents of the box, the man in the suit fell silent and reached into the box, as if confirming something.
One second, two seconds... five seconds, ten seconds... twenty seconds, forty seconds...
After three full minutes passed, the man in the suit suddenly closed the box again.
Seeing the young man sitting across from him with an extraordinary temperament and fond of wearing the fox mask, he justified the request with a smile on his face, "Kamikawa-sama, do you just need half an hour earlier?"
"Yes, just half an hour, and the fireworks show will officially start at 8 p.m.." Ren nodded.
"So it is."
The man in the suit picked up the large silver box from the coffee table, placed it near his feet, and then warned with great care, "The weather isn't too good tonight. Please be more careful when Kamikawa-sama returns."
"Alright, then I'll go first."
Ren stood up and bid farewell.
"Take care."
The man in the suit immediately stood up and sent Ren to the elevator before returning to the office.
After sitting in the same place, he put the large silver box back on the coffee table.
Sure enough, his guess was correct; tonight an important person would attend the fireworks show.
So much so that he had to adjust the start time of the fireworks.
Moreover, who would give Fukuzawa Yukichi this much?

After walking out of the building, the sigh of Hayasaka sounded again in the headphone:
"In the end, this embarrassing method was used."
"It's very acceptable."
Ren didn't think it was a big deal.
"How much money did you put into that box? So that the attitude of the person in charge changed so quickly?" Hayasaka asked curiously.
This method was proposed by Ren, because besides that, there was no other effective and quick way, so we could only do that.
Unless it was a last resort, Hayasaka didn't want to rely on the power of the Shinomiya family.
Moreover, his idea was actually the same as her original plan, so she didn't mind.
"Just a little."
Ren filled the box with so much money that he didn't bother to count the exact amount.
No matter how much money it was, for him, it was just a series of numbers.
"I hope so."
Because she was on the phone, Hayasaka couldn't see the amount of money in the box, so she could only judge based on his answer.
"Now it's 7:20, so the next step is to save Kaguya-sama." Hayasaka said the next battle plan.
At this moment, the announcement from the festival sounded.
"Please note that due to the weather conditions, the fireworks show originally scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. will be moved 30 minutes earlier and will start promptly at 8:00 p.m."
"Notify..."
"The time waits for no one, now is the time for you to go, Kamikawa-kun."
After listening to her broadcast, Hayasaka urged him.
"Um."
Following the radio sound, Ren headed towards the Shinomiya Residence.
