Chapter 242

**The Shinomiya Family** is the two-hundred fourty second chapter of the Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai manga series.

## Summary

Un'yo talks to Miyuki about Shinomiya Family's background.

## Plot

Chapter 242 begins Miyuki’s encounter with Gan'an Shinomiya, the head of the Shinomiya family. Un'yo tells Miyuki that the Shinomiya Group is Gan'an’s empire. He stopped at nothing to expand the business and cut down all those who defied him. He then tells him that the old man had only a few weeks left to live.

The rivalry between the Shinomiyas and the new elitists, Shijos, is still largely tied to blood relations. Now that a large part of their executives had been detained, the bloodline purists in the family have started gaining more power, and as a result, Kaguya’s value will go up quite a bit.

The eldest of Gan'an’s children, Oko, will likely take over their father, and the second son, Seiryū, will be by his side. Un'yo was born to Ganan’s second wife, so he is nowhere near the top. Kaguya, too, is an illegitimate child. Her mother was a worker in a red-light district who died shortly after giving birth. Since no one knew how to treat her, Gan'an asked Un'yo to look over Kaguya as she grew up.

After revealing all the details about Kaguya and the Shinomiya’s past, Un'yo tells Miyuki that he called him to make him understand their current situation. Miyuki asks him why, Un'yo replies to him by saying that he was Kaguya’s only weakness.

To protect Miyuki from not getting kidnapped by the higher-ups, Un'yo assigns him a personal bodyguard. The bodyguard in charge of safeguarding Miyuki is Hayasaka.

As the chapter ends, Hayasaka suggests to Miyuki that he can introduce her as his new girlfriend, to which Miyuki profusely objects.

## Summary

Dr. Tanuma tells Miyuki about the story of Kaguya's mother.

## Plot

Chapter 252 starts with the Shuchiin Academy’s council heading out to save Kaguya. Shirogane tells Chika and Ishigami to grab their bikes, which they disagree with, as the destination is quite far. So, they decide to go by taxi.

Shirogane’s first order of business is to talk with Kaguya’s father. He has to convince him first to make a choice that ultimately leads to Kaguya’s happiness. Miko tells him that she has arranged a call with Kaguya’s brother, so he can get in without the need to check in.

Miko inquires about how he is going to convince Gan’an. Shirogane mentions that the rocky relationship between Kaguya and her father is because of a lack of communication between them.

He thinks that Gan’an might be feeling guilty of how he treated Kaguya, not to mention her being his illegitimate daughter, causing her more problems in the family.

Miko also asks about two scary-looking men he left behind with her. He tells her not to worry about them as they are acquaintances and experts in their field, not revealing what they are there for.

Shirogane meets Dr. Tanuma in the hallway, waiting for him. He tells Shirogane about Nayotake Shirogane, who was not an average club worker. Her service could cost you a million yen just for a night.

She was a true beauty, an ideal woman, cultured, educated, and caring, but she had a sly and cunning side hidden beneath the surface.

Her charm was such that even the president fell for her. Unfortunately, though she had hereditary heart disease, one night, she received a heart attack while serving Gan’an. She disappeared after that night.

When she appeared again, she was pregnant with Kaguya. The company’s associates tried to chase her away, but Gan’an insisted on keeping her with the Shinomiya family.

Due to this, she was considered a deceptive vixen by everyone around her, leading to Kaguya being ostracized by the family. Her mother’s death made Gan’an fall sick, so seeing Kaguya might have reminded him about her mother.

Shirogane interrupts, saying that it doesn’t matter. He is angry about how he can treat her like he did. She has always been waiting for him all this time, and she was ready to endure everything for the family.

He is interrupted by Gan’an, who comes in telling them to pipe down. Listening so much about Kaguya, he is ready to hear what the boy has to tell him.

## Plot

Chapter 244 begins with a concerned Ishigami, who is worried that the student council room is empty. He thinks it was natural for Kaguya to be absent because of her complicated family. Yet, he can’t help but wonder where everyone else is.

Chika pops up in his mind as he remembers how she only joined the student council to stay with Kaguya. Miyuki and Hayasaka seemed busy with something else too. Also, Miyuki will soon leave for America, and it’s clear why he’d be busy.

Iino, on the other hand, has no reason to avoid coming. Ishigami feels like Iino was warming up to him, but even if she were the least bit interested, she would have gladly spent time with him. He spirals down into thinking that maybe he is getting the wrong idea about her.

After his downward spiral, he began his descent into overwhelming negativity. Ishigami’s thoughts get the worst of him as he starts wondering how his life would be if he were attractive. He thinks about his past rejections and gets even more dejected, thinking that Iino was being nice to him.

Meanwhile, Iino is in another classroom with Osaragi, who asks her why she isn’t going to the student council room. She tells her that Ishigami is the only one there, and if she goes, he’ll think that she’s clinging to him. Iino reveals that she read on the internet that once a guy starts thinking of a girl as easy, he’ll never see her as girlfriend material.

As the chapter ends, we find out that the two oblivious lovebirds miss each other and are depressed due to the deprivation of each other’s company.

## Summary

Miko and Kobachi come to an understanding.

## Plot

Chapter 234, titled “The Buddha’s Stone Begging Bowl” (Part 9), starts with Iino blatantly asking Osaragi if she had a fight with Iino.

Osaragi states that it was not really a fight, but more of a falling out. Ishigami goes on to say that he is jealous of their dynamic and wishes he had a close childhood friend.

He further tells her that regardless of what happens in the future, she should approach Iino and clear the air.

As Osaragi leaves the room, she crosses paths with Iino. They both now want to clear the air, so they go to the roof to express their thoughts.

Before Iino can even say anything, Osaragi cuts in and tells her that she likes Iino and has liked him for quite some time.

She also assures her that she will not make a move on him, as she came to terms with it long back. She just does not want to see her with him.

She mentions how they became friends due to mere circumstances, and were bound to drift apart.

Iino admits to having been stuck by Osaragi just because she did not want to be lonely. She also states that despite her initial reason, she does like her now and would not want to do anything to hurt her.

Iino offers to give up Ishigami since Osaragi feels so strongly against it, and she means it. Osaragi is kind of moved by this gesture and makes Iino promise that she will make Ishigami happy.

The chapter ends with Osaragi giving her approval to Iino, and they both back to being the close friends they always were.

## Profile

**Daichi Fujiwara** (藤原 大地ふじわら だいち, *Fujiwara Daichi*) is a supporting character. He is the husband of Maho Fujiwara and the father of Toyomi Fujiwara, Chika Fujiwara and Moeha Fujiwara.

## Appearance

Daichi is seen wearing a suit with a tie with a pair of wayfarer style glasses and has a slick gelled hairstyle.

## Personality

Daichi is a politician and so he's very well mannered and professional. He's also overly protective of his daughters and as such prevented Chika Fujiwara from playing video games, etc.

It can also be assumed that he is in fact quite encouraging of his daughters rather than being too pushy as Chika persues the hobbie of a pianist rather than being pushed into it by her father. We can also very safely assume that due to Chika's often elated personality Daichi is considerably kind and a good father.

## History

Daichi comes from a family of politicians and a politician himself, his/Maho Fujiwara's (Daichi's wife) grandfather was once the prime minister, and his brother in law/brother is the current minister of the right, making his lineage one of extreme prestige.

So far his only appearance has been during the school sports festival in which Miyuki Shirogane as well as his father met Daichi as a meeting of pure coincidence due to Miyuki's father being asked by Daichi to take pictures of his daughter Chika, during the sports festival.

## Relationships

### Toyomi Fujiwara

**Toyomi** is his eldest daughter. He doesn't approve of her clothing appearance.

### Chika Fujiwara

Kaguya, traumatized by a cat attacking her friend, expresses that she’d much rather get a dog than a cat.

But, Kaguya is in for a surprise when she finds Abe’s cat inside the student council room. At first, Kaguya is very apprehensive towards it, but her heart slowly melts with the cat’s overload of cuteness.

Kaguya even warms up milk for it to drink and when Ishigami catches her playing with the cat, Kaguya gets embarrassed.

However, Ishigami is certain that Kaguya is slowly becoming a cat person and has already started liking the cat.

Even when Kaguya kicks the cat out of the council room, it still returns the very next day and sits on Kaguya’s lap. Accustomed to the cat’s antics by now, Kaguya even decides to name it and calls it Edward.

As chaos breaks through, papa Shirogane makes a grand entry, calling Miyuki a degenerate for making Hayasaka dress-up in her maid outfit. Later, he clears the misunderstanding by revealing that he is already aware of Kaguya and Miyuki’s situation.

He tells them that he is in touch with Nao and knows that Hayasaka will be staying with them for a bit.

* Anime
* Manga

**Adolphe Pescarolo** (アドルフ・ペスカローロ) is the Principal of Shuchi'in Academy.

## Appearance

Adolphe is an old man with slightly long parted hair going down till almost around his shoulders. He has a goatee styled beard coupled with a mustache. He usually wears a coat over his long sleeved polo when outdoors and when on official business and takes the coat off revealing the vest and a necktie underneath whenever indoors.

## Personality

He's strict regarding school regulations, but knows how to garner the favor of students nonetheless. He helped Yu Ishigami get enrolled to Shuchi'in despite not finishing his task of making an apology letter. Despite being an authority figure within the school, he has shown comical disregard for school rules and discipline when it comes to his own actions, having been openly caught playing Pokemon Go on more than one occasion on school grounds while chastising nearby students for doing the same.

## History

Adolphe attended Shuchi'in Academy as an exchange student 40 years prior to the events of the series and was familiar with the two students whose love story eventually lead to the school's seven mysteries. At some point, he also served as the president to Shuchi'in's French sister school in Paris.

## Relationships

Ishigami is reluctant, but still goes along with her. When they reach the shopping district, they see Iino waiting for someone.

After a few minutes, an older adult approaches her, and they both take off together. They seem to be having fun.

Onodera and Ishigami both are clueless as to what is happening. Onodera is under the impression that the elderly man is her sugar daddy. On the other hand, Ishigami thinks that this is just a normal meet-up.

However, Onodera is able to convince Ishigagmi to join the dark side. She then persuades him to intervene, since Iino is someone important to him.

After giving it a thought, Ishigami interrupts their meet-up, just to find out that it is nothing like what they thought.

Miyuki’s dad instantly recognizes Ishigami as Miyuki’s friend. Miyuki took some time and then realizes that it is Miyuki’s dad. Iino also tells him how Miyuki’s dad was just helping her choose computer parts.

The chapter ends with Ishigami reflecting on why he acted the way he did after Iino calls him out for being jealous of seeing her with another person.

**Miyuki Shirogane Wants to Request** is the two-hundred fifty third chapter of the Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai manga series.

## Summary

Miyuki tries to convince Gan'an to cancel the marriage between Kaguya and Mikado.

## Plot

Gan’an starts to talk about his condition, telling Miyuki that he is suffering from vascular dementia and doesn’t have much time. So, before leaving, he has handed down all his business in his will.

He asks Miyuki what he wants from him, Miyuki replies that he wants Gan’an to set her free. Gan’an knows that Miyuki used to go out with Kaguya and has now broken up with her with a settlement. Which means that now he has no business with her.

Miyuki promptly replies to this claim by saying that if it’s for Kaguya’s sake he will happily give the settlement money back, in fact, he will pay back two-fold after he saves Kaguya.

Gan’an tells him that if he wants him to change the will, Miyuki is out of luck because that’s impossible now. He is suffering from Dementia, so even if he changes his will, that will not be of any benefit and won’t be considered in court.

Miyuki understands that, but he also wants something else that only Gan’an can provide, i.e., approval to marry Kaguya.

Gan’an is shocked by this proposal and inquires about Miyuki’s age. Miyuki tells him that he is going to be 18 soon, which means he can legally marry in a few months.

He is doing this to break the arranged marriage negotiation with the Shijo family. The Shijo family won’t let their heir remarry a divorcee, making Miyuki’s plan successful.

Gan’an is terrified by the offer and can’t process what’s happening. Miyuki further annoys him by repeatedly calling him father. He insists that this is the only way for Kaguya to help her stand up for herself.

Gan’an puts up the fact that Kaguya is a member of the Shinomiya family and she chose to stay herself. Miyuki corrects him that she didn’t make this choice for herself or the company; she made the choice for her father. She wanted to connect with him.

Gan’an reveals the password of the locker in his room in the primary Shinomiya residence where he has kept his will. If the will disappears somehow, they will have to unwantedly divide the assets equally or take parts of it on mutual agreement between the legal heirs.

Miyuki immediately leaves for the will there and goes away. It is then revealed that the passcode is actually the mix of the dates on which Nayotake died and Kaguya was born.
