Chapter 86 Battle between lawyers

—————April 23, 1:45 p.m. —————

————— Main Ikedai Area, Kumimon Office——————

“…What’s going on? The lawyer has been in a bad mood since he came back.”

“Is that lawyer named Xiang Yuanguang very powerful?”

Hattori, the butler of the Kumimon Office, looked at Kumimon with some confusion as he had been looking through the files since lunch.

As a butler trusted by Kumemon, he actually knows Kumemon very well, and this is the first time he has taken a case so seriously.

“Yes, lawyer Xiang Yuan is amazing! He can just extend his terrifying index finger and leave lawyers speechless! That’s what a real lawyer is, right? That’s what I think.”

Dai Machiko said excitedly, and the butler Hattori became even more confused.

Are there really such amazing lawyers in this world?
But Gu Meimen, who had just been sitting on the sofa reading the files, suddenly jumped up.

“That kind of person is not a lawyer, at least he is a wizard!”

Kumimon said something incomprehensible loudly, which scared Machiko.

Then, he moved closer to Machiko with great momentum, and his words never stopped like a machine gun.

“I had always thought that the wind of dissent in the newspapers was just an adjective, but I never thought it would be a real wind.”

“If it weren’t for this magician’s inexplicable magic, I would definitely be able to refute his messed-up ideas.”

“This commission is no longer just a matter of thirty million in commission money, but a dispute over victory or defeat.”

“Alright, this time I’ll make that damn hedgehog-head go back to his Tokyo office and cry!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Meimen turned and walked out the door.

Dai Machiko blinked and asked with some confusion.

“Lawyer, where are you going? Are you going to Shimadzu to modify the blueprints?”

Kumimon, who was already a little angry and had a stomachache, couldn’t hold it in and just stood there.

Then, he turned around and pointed at Dai Machiko’s face and said without hesitation.

“Are you kidding me? That guy really wants to fight us in the Tribunal.”

“If he has that ability, I can’t win in a head-on confrontation. I must use other methods to circumvent the Inquisition!”

“Now, immediately, go investigate the location of the neighborhood committee member’s house and determine the situation.”

“And I! Now I have to go find Kaga Ranmaru and dig out all the information about that bastard hedgehog-head!”

“That’s it, action!”

Boom!
The door to Kumimon’s office, which was actually Kumimon’s private villa, was slammed shut!
The force was so great that it was clear at a glance how bad Kumimon’s current mood was.

Dai Machiko blinked and looked at the butler Hattori.

Three seconds later, they both shrugged at the same time.

Well, there’s nothing I can do about it, that’s just who Kumimon is.

At the same time, in a small shop outside the Honichidai Community Hall.

Xiang Yuanguang ate vegetarian noodles calmly, and seemed not to care about the case.

Sitting next to Xiang Yuanguang was Nakano Souji with a bitter face.

The two of them ate noodles in a hurry. Halfway through, Nakano Souji could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart.

“Senior Xiang Yuan, why do you want to eat vegetarian noodles? Is it to get closer to the lives of the residents?”

“Ah! I understand. Senior Xiang Yuan must be conducting an on-site inspection of the residents’ lighting conditions in order to prepare for the lawsuit!”

The new lawyer expressed his ideas without waiting for Yuan Guang to speak.

He nodded repeatedly with great enthusiasm, looked at Xiang Yuanguang with admiration, and said.

“I also want to be like Senior Xiang Yuan and prepare for my work all the time!”

(Prepare your head… I just don’t have money.)
The hedgehog-headed lawyer acted as a master without saying a word, but secretly he was already shedding sad tears.

Arita Ryosuke, who came with him, went straight to a high-end restaurant to eat, and Yueshui went over to eat for free.

He originally wanted to go, but in the end he didn’t have the courage to ask, so he just went to a roadside stall to eat a bowl of vegetarian noodles.

I didn’t expect that this guy Nakano Souji would actually follow me… Now that’s the end of the matter.

If I said that I was simply poor, then my prestige in Nakano Souji’s heart would definitely be reduced to zero.

Xiang Yuanguang nodded with difficulty and finished his noodles with no appetite.

Just as I was about to get up and leave, I saw a man in a suit and tie, with a professional villain look, sitting opposite me. This guy was even accompanied by a beautiful secretary and a handsome suit boy.

“Mr. Xiang Yuan, you actually overwhelmed Kumimon head-on in terms of momentum. That’s amazing.”

“For this, I have to praise your strength.”

The ‘villain’ glanced at the bowl of vegetarian noodles that Xiang Yuanguang had eaten clean, and couldn’t help but shake his head.

The secretary next to him immediately took out a box and placed it on the chair next to him.

Then, the ‘villain’ spoke leisurely.

“Although you are not a lawyer like us, I will help you as long as you are dealing with Kumemon.”

“In this box are some information I collected, as well as a little bit of my thoughts that can help you out of your immediate crisis.”

“How about it? Lawyer Xiang Yuan, will you accept it?”

(Information…feelings…who is this guy?)
Xiang Yuanguang narrowed his eyes, and Nakano Souji next to him seemed to wake up from a dream and said in surprise.

“Aren’t you the director of Miki Law Firm, a famous law firm in the Ikedai area…”

“Mr. Miki Choichiro? I heard that you and Attorney Kumemon have always been at odds. It seems to be true.”

“There’s no need to make this too clear, right?”

The director of Miki Law Firm, Miki Choichiro, gave a chilling smile.

He immediately told Nakano Souji to shut up and not say anything else.

However, Xiang Yuanguang was not affected by the momentum. He took the box, opened it, and took out the files in the file bag.

Just a glance and his brows were raised.

I saw that the file bag contained the plan for Shimadzu Corporation’s second phase project, as well as some special information.

For example… gossip about the son of the president of Shimadzu Corporation, some negative materials and so on.

“I know you always like to make things develop in the most complicated and worst direction, and then reverse everything.”

“How about this information? Is it enough for you to send Kumimon and the president of Shimadzu Corporation to prison?”

There was a hint of ease in Miki Choichiro’s words.

“Well, please just work hard, and when you’ve dealt with Kumemon, I’ll treat you to tea.”

Tear————

Lawyer Miki left quietly with his secretary and assistant.

They came and went in a hurry, leaving only the box next to Xiang Yuanguang.

“…Really? Who do you think I am?”

Xiang Yuanguang frowned, flipped through the documents at hand, and then put them back into the file bag.

Afterwards, the document bag was stuffed directly into the box and the box lock was closed with a click.

“Xiang Yuan-senpai, do you really want to fight with Attorney Kumemon in the court?”

“The teacher told me that it would be better to mediate this case out of court.”

Nakano Sosuke came back to his senses and spoke seriously to Genkou.

“The senior who transferred the case to me told me that the compensation this time could be 5 million per person.”

“The bottom line is 3 million per person. Shimadzu will definitely give this figure.”

(…It seems that what everyone wants is not the right to light, but compensation.)
The hedgehog-headed lawyer pushed the box to Nakano Souji and stood up.

Then, he snapped his fingers.

“Please return this box to Miki Office and tell them I have no use for it.”

“If you want the right to light, you want the right to light. If you want to retreat, you want compensation. Isn’t that the same as blackmail?”

“Don’t worry, leave it to me. Even if my opponent is Kumimon, I won’t lose.”

Nodding somewhat dazedly, Nakano Souji took the box and suddenly woke up.

“Wait, Senior Xiang Yuan, what are you going to do?”

Going further and further towards the source of light.

“I’ll go investigate the actual victimization of the residents here. You can go talk to the neighborhood committee chairman tonight.”

“See you tomorrow!”
