Crossover Anime: Starting with Destroying Kengan

This is an innate talent.

Even if you can't change the proportion, you can increase the proportion of the quantity.

Yato has always done it this way.

Therefore, despite the body shape being reasonably coordinated, the weight continues to increase.

His body fat percentage is only 10%, and his weight of over 200 pounds is basically supported by muscle and bone density. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he has iron flesh and steel bones.

If we were to describe his muscle type, it would undoubtedly be predominantly white muscle, because the muscle fibers of white muscle are thicker. However, he also has a significant amount of red muscle, maintaining a balanced ratio. The same applies to pink muscle. The ratio of the three is approximately 6/3/1.

It may not seem as prominent as those who make up 8 or 9 of the population, but there's no comparison between 100 pounds of meat and 10 pounds of meat.

Even if it's only one-tenth, it still weighs ten pounds, which is equivalent to the entirety of the latter. So what if the proportion is higher?

That's how Wakatsuki Samurai got his superhuman strength.

Before this, Yato had also been working towards his goal.

But now, in order to cultivate both movement and stillness, Yato needs to change all his muscles into pink muscles. Only in this way can he alleviate the burden caused by the simultaneous operation of two different blood and qi patterns.

Just as Yato was about to embark on his incredible training, somewhere far away in Chiyoda Ward, people were also discussing topics related to him.

……

Even in the heart of Chiyoda, the administrative and judicial center, that old Japanese house is considered a taboo place.

Hayasaka Ai lowered her gaze and knelt respectfully on the tatami mat in a quiet room. There was nothing beside her, neither tea nor snacks, nor anything else. The empty quiet room seemed to have been specially set aside to store things of little value.

She always has this feeling whenever she comes here.

But, he's different from her.

At the other end of the quiet room, the sliding door was wide open.

The sounds of women laughing and joking came from the adjacent cubicle. Because of the gauze curtains, only the shadowy figures could be seen intertwined, and it was impossible to know what they were doing. Perhaps they were wrestling and fighting, or perhaps they were chatting about something important with their arms around each other's shoulders.

In short, Hayasaka Ai didn't want to think in any other direction.

That was more disgusting to her than anything else.

Not long after, a man dressed in a loose kimono slowly lifted the curtain and walked out.

He looked to be around forty years old.

His skull was large and he had no hair on his head, making him look like a monk in a temple. His appearance was not particularly outstanding, but the two small mustaches on his lips, combined with his small, gleaming eyes, gave him an impression of being as cunning as a wolf. No one out of ten people would like him.

But if they knew his identity, this aversion would probably turn into panic, right?

There is no other reason.

This man is none other than the eldest son of Shinomiya Kan'an, the head of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, one of the four major zaibatsu that now dominate Japan. He is considered the first heir, Shinomiya Komitsu, who is only half a step away from succeeding the next head of the Zaibatsu.

He is also Kaguya's half-brother.

Shinomiya Hikari approached Hayasaka Ai, casually sat down on the spot, took the pipe handed to him by the servant, took a puff, and then exhaled a puff of smoke.

Because of the close proximity, the smoke hit Hayasaka Ai's face directly.

But the latter remained expressionless, not even blinking.

It was as if no matter what Shinomiya Hikari did to her, she would not react at all.

Shinomiya Hikaru was used to such a lack of 'fun'. Perhaps in his eyes, a beautiful girl like Hayasaka Ai was not a woman at all, but just a useful tool.

Who would feel anything for a tool?

"Haa~ Tell me, what has Kaguya been up to lately?" Shinomiya Hikari yawned, a tear squeezing out of the corner of his eye, and asked listlessly.

"Kaguya-sama has found a fighter and is preparing to participate in the Kengan Elimination Tournament to run for the next Kengan Association president."

Hayasaka Ai succinctly stated.

"Oh?"

Shinomiya Huangguang's expression froze for a moment, then a smile of interest appeared on his face.

"Is Kaguya really that ambitious? That really surprises me. Sending you to monitor her was definitely the right decision. Isn't that what's happening now?"

If Kaguya heard these words, she would probably be furious beyond measure.

The maid she treated like family turned out to be a spy sent by Shinomiya Hiromitsu.

Hayasaka Ai...

No, the entire Hayasaka family had been subordinates of Shinomiya Kiko for a long time.

But many people, including Kaguya herself, are unaware of this.

"In your opinion, was this a spur-of-the-moment decision, or... a long-dormant outburst?"

Huang Guang, from the Fourth Palace, spoke with great interest.

"...Kaguya-sama found a powerful fighter named 'Yato Igarashi,' who possesses extremely strong personal combat skills. Before getting to know him better, Kaguya-sama showed no signs of interest in fighting or Kengan."

Hayasaka Ai said expressionlessly.

"Oh, so it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision?" Shinomiya Kōkō concluded from her declarative words, put down his pipe, smacked his lips, and looked thoughtful.

"But speaking of which, the name 'Yato Igarashi' sounds familiar."

"...the recent assassination attempt on an official."

"Oh, it's him... No wonder Kaguya was confident in taking over the Kengan Association. If it were me, I would also be tempted to try if I had such a powerful pawn. After all, it wouldn't be a loss even if I failed. As expected of Kaguya, even though she is the youngest child, she still bears the surname Shinomiya. She makes such a big fuss as soon as she makes a move. As her older brother, I am really ashamed."

While uttering seemingly complimentary words, Shinomiya Hiromitsu's lips curled into a chilling smile.

The individual identity of a Kengan-kai member is not significant, but the Kengan-kai is a powerful conglomerate that binds hundreds of top-tier corporate groups together, making it larger than Shinomiya.

If we really have to compare, only the Toyota Group, one of the four major conglomerates, can definitely outdo the Kwon Group.

If Kaguya were to gain control of such a behemoth, it would be enough to elevate her to a position equal to that of the head of the Shinomiya family.

Although she certainly couldn't control the entire Kengan Association like Katahara Metsudo with her skills and resources, the Shinomiya family wouldn't stand idly by. No matter how cold her father's relationship with her was, he would spare no effort to help her take control of the Kengan Association when the time came.

Because Kaguya is also a member of the Shinomiya family.

Her control of the Kengan Association is equivalent to the Shinomiya family controlling the Kengan Association.

This was an irresistible temptation for the Shinomiya family.

Considering Kaguya's immense contributions to the family, even though her father, who was nearing the end of his life, directly chose her as the next head of the family, Shinomiya Hikari had no complaints whatsoever.

But that's what they say.

The position of family head, which was almost within his grasp, suddenly fell into the hands of his younger sister, who was thirty years younger than him. Wouldn't all his hard work over the past half of his life be in vain?

Thinking of this, Shinomiya Kōkō smiled and said:

"It's rare for Kaguya to have such a leisurely time, so I'll play a game with her."

"...What are you planning to do?"

Hayasaka Ai asked calmly.

"It's rare to see you ask a question... It seems even you can be curious about such interesting things." Shinomiya Hikaru said playfully, "Telling you wouldn't be a bad idea, and I might even allow you to tell Kaguya."

"I'm also planning to send someone to participate in the Kengan Deathmatch Tournament."

"...?"

Hayasaka Ai's pupils contracted.

This was not what she had expected.

Upon hearing this news, this man should be eager to cause trouble for Kaguya-sama and Yato-san, so that she can...

"What? You think I'd go looking for trouble with them so I could be the next person assassinated?"

As if seeing through her thoughts, Shinomiya Huangguang said meaningfully.

"No, it's up to you to decide what to do. I'm just responsible for providing you with information."

Hayasaka Ai remained expressionless as always, her tone completely flat.

"Whatever happens, happens." Shinomiya Hikari looked at Hayasaka Ai with a deep gaze, his tone inexplicably calm. "Actually, Kaguya's participation in the Kengan Tournament was indeed a bit unexpected, but it only shows that she has a keen eye."

“And there are countless people who share her thoughts. Think about it, this is a great opportunity to take over the Kengan Association. Even if she doesn’t get involved, I will. Not only me… other conglomerates will also make a move, and the higher-ups will also make a move.”

"No beast will miss this feast unless it is prepared to be eaten up and made even stronger, and then devoured clean."

"I won't stop her."

Shinomiya Hikari stood up, propping himself up on his knees, facing the outer corridor, and said in a cheerful voice:

"Let's compete fairly for now... Let's get the position of president of Kengan first, and then... well, Kaguya should get married soon. I think the second son of the Funakoshi family is quite good."

"..."

Faced with these words that sounded like a brother's loving care for his sister, Hayasaka Ai felt a chill run down her spine.

She completely understood the man's thoughts.

In Shinomiya Hikari's eyes, ownership of the Kengan Association is the most important thing.

Kaguya-sama is incredibly strong and has the potential to win the championship, but she's merely a pawn used to gain ownership.

If one of the two wins, that is a great success.

If he wins, everyone will be happy.

If Kaguya wins, she will appoint another member, namely Shinomiya Hikari, as the next president of the Kengan Association.

The result remains the same.

Kaguya is very likely to disagree, but Shinomiya Hikari has plenty of ways to make her agree.

For example, using 'freedom' as a condition for exchange.

The Funakoshi family are staunch supporters of Shinomiya Kiko.

If Kaguya insists on not handing over the position of the next chairman and marries her into the Funakoshi family, thereby forcibly controlling her life and using her to control the Kengan Association, although it would be a bit troublesome, Shinomiya Hikari would not mind being a behind-the-scenes manipulator.

At this moment, a servant came to Huang Guang's side and whispered something in his ear.

The latter smiled happily and turned to Hayasaka Ai, saying:

"Perfect timing, my gladiator has arrived. Let me introduce him to you."

“… …”

Hayasaka Ai remained silent.

Although she had no right to refuse.

However, given the current situation, she also hopes to obtain more information.

Soon, the fighter that Shinomiya Hiromitsu had mentioned arrived.

He was a tall man, easily over two meters tall, wearing a white double-breasted overcoat.

His face was stern, giving him an impression of being taciturn but exceptionally reliable.

He appears to be around forty years old.

"Let me introduce you." Shinomiya Hikari smiled and patted the other person's shoulder familiarly, saying to Hayasaka Ai, "This is a friend from Hong Kong whom I met not long ago. He is also the fighter I plan to send out. His name is Lü Tian."

Lü Tian?

Seeing the other person nod slightly at her, as if to greet her, Hayasaka Ai bowed back without making a sound, silently memorizing the name.

Although he doesn't seem very strong or have a particularly intimidating presence, and seems like an unyielding rock, since he's a fighter that Shinomiya Hikari values, he's obviously no ordinary person, and it's necessary to investigate him thoroughly.

Just then, Shinomiya Hikari suddenly said something that made her freeze.

"By the way, Lü Tian, ​​you haven't been in Japan for long and aren't very familiar with things here, so let this guy be your assistant. You can use him however you like, and it doesn't matter if you break him."

"Wait, wait... over there, Kaguya-sama."

"I'll put in a good word with Kaguya and find her some new maids, the kind that are absolutely obedient."

Huang Guang interrupted.

Finally, she glanced meaningfully at Hayasaka Ai, which sent a chill down Hayasaka's spine.

"...Is that so? Thank you very much."

Lü Tian's expression was indifferent, and he spoke very little.
