Comprehensive Manga: Hope in Another World

Shimokitazawa Coffee Shop.

This is a fairly well-known coffee shop chain in Tokyo, located on a commercial street near Shuchi'in Academy and quite popular among students.

From time to time, a group of Shuchi'in students and young couples would enter. However, when they saw the 'Ice Princess Kaguya'—who was usually out of reach—also there, they almost displayed the same shocked expressions.

Moreover, Kaguya seemed to be waiting for someone, which only added to their curiosity.

So far, the only one who could talk to Shinomiya Kaguya was Fujiwara Chika.

Could it be that these two older women were interested in having coffee together?

While everyone was pondering this, a boy wearing a Shuchi'in Academy uniform appeared in the shop.

In this world, there seemed to be a special type of person who didn't need to do anything. Just standing there made him the most captivating presence.

As the handsome young man appeared, there were many whispers throughout the café.

"Is that him?"

"Yes, Takema Shun, the transfer student."

"Ah, he really is as handsome as the rumors say."

"I heard he's dating Kitagawa from Class C."

"Damn, someone really took action so quickly!"

Shun ignored the whispers in the café, and after looking around, he walked toward where Kaguya was sitting.

Countless eyes stared at him in disbelief.

Shun sat across from Kaguya and looked over the menu. However, Kaguya, instead of looking dissatisfied, calmly sipped her coffee and gazed at the man in front of her.

After witnessing this natural and harmonious scene, many people quietly looked away and silently smacked their lips.

What was happening?

This transfer student had only been here for a few weeks?

Was he really so close to Kaguya from the Shinomiya family?

Many Shuchi'in students observed carefully and found that aside from Fujiwara Chika, only the man in front of them and Kaguya were so close and alone together.

Look at how natural this man-woman relationship is; their relationship is not simple!

Perhaps, the ice princess would truly be captured!

Boys and girls in the café gossiped quietly, covering their mouths one by one, sharpening their ears, and the entire coffee shop fell silent for a moment.

The protagonist at the center of the incident was completely unconcerned.

"Takema-kun, thank you for saving me earlier."

After both had tasted their coffee, Kaguya took out a contract.

Shun glanced at it casually. It was a transfer agreement for a large estate, and at the end, there was a monetary gift. Because there were too many zeros in it, he didn't bother to count.

"This is my thank-you gift; please accept it."

"Well then, I'll be rude."

Shun didn't continue reading and casually took a pen and wrote his signature on it.

For him at this moment, the appeal of such a thing was just that. Since it was a life-saving gift from the other party, he accepted it without hesitation.

This little money was just a drop in the bucket for the Shinomiya family. There was no need to make up false excuses that would only create a tense atmosphere.

Sure enough, Kaguya also sighed in relief after seeing Shun pull it back.

After pondering for a moment, she lost her usual cold demeanor and spoke with a hint of anxiety:

"Takema-kun, would you be willing to make a contract with me?"

"Contract?" In Shun's mind, his informal Master-Slave contract came to mind unconsciously.

"Mm, from now on, Takema-kun will be my personal secretary and bodyguard, and in return, I will give you 40% of all the industries and resources of the Shinomiya department."

Kaguya unintentionally lowered her voice, even deliberately publicizing their contract for others to know.

When these words came out, many Shuchi'in students who heard them immediately gasped.

Although many of them were rich and powerful kids who had seen the world, they were still so shocked that their spoons fell to the floor.

Even Shun was quite surprised.

The Shinomiya group had total assets of 200 trillion yen and owned thousands of subsidiaries. It was one of the four major consortia in Japan. Kaguya was the eldest daughter of Shinomiya Ga'nan, the president of the Shinomiya Group.

Although the Shinomiya family was now dominated by the three Shinomiya siblings, they were in competition with each other.

However, it couldn't be denied that as the daughter of the Shinomiya family, Kaguya would also inherit very valuable assets in the future.

Even if she could only get a portion of such a large group, it would surely make ordinary companies and wealthy individuals envious.

And now, Kaguya was actually... truly giving such assets to Shun?

With the condition of being his personal secretary and bodyguard?

What kind of soft rice was this?

The boys in the café grew envious out of jealousy!

Even Shun was slightly shaken.

He felt that Kaguya had someone guiding her behind her.

If Shun agreed, this contract could bind him tightly to her ship!

The relationship between the two parties would become very close, and of course, Shun wouldn't mind that.

After all, who would refuse a beautiful Kaguya and Hayasaka?

In the future, if the eldest woman and the maid were allowed to sleep in the same bed...

After thinking about a certain scene, Shun hesitated and wanted to speak.

Seeing him like this, Kaguya felt a little excitement in her heart.

This way, she could legitimately stop Shun from making contact with those women as her boss!

*BANG*

Everyone in the café watched in fascination, and no one noticed that Kashiwagi Nagisa had arrived at the coffee shop.

"Takema-kun will not join the Shinomiya family!"

After hearing Kaguya's words, she rushed over and firmly rejected!

Seeing her good deed suddenly interrupted, Kaguya's expression turned cold, and her ruby-like eyes stared at Nagisa with a hint of chill.

"Kashiwagi-san, it's rude to interrupt someone else's conversation!"

"The daughter of a major shipbuilding group has such little education?"

Nagisa did not rush to respond to Kaguya's cold remarks.

With a polite smile, she deeply bowed to Kaguya and then said:

"Shinomiya-san, thank you for your help earlier. Although there were some accidents, I still appreciate your assistance. If Shinomiya-san needs it, the Oto Shipbuilding Group will do its best to help you."

This behavior made Kaguya's expression soften even more.

Nagisa quickly explained what she meant by being polite before getting into a fight.

"But Takema-kun will never give in to Shinomiya-san!"

"Shinomiya-san is merely the weakest of the four heirs in the family, and I am the only successor of the Oto Shipbuilding Group!"

Nagisa simply sat next to Kaguya. Despite the cold expression on her face, she glared at Shun across from her with fiery eyes.

"Takema-kun, if you're willing to join the Kashiwagi family, all the rewards will be yours!"

At that moment, all the men in the café turned sour!
