Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 33 Meeting
Hojo Shione parked the car near H University, reached for her seatbelt, looked at her younger sister sitting in the passenger seat, leaned over and touched her forehead, saying:
"It's alright, the fever should break by this afternoon."

She was too close, and Hojo Suzune's view was blocked by the two papayas. She immediately felt annoyed and couldn't help but raise her hand to push her away, saying:
"There was nothing wrong to begin with."

Pushed back to her seat by her younger sister, Hojo Shione wasn't angry. She looked at her meaningfully and smiled:
"Lingyin, are you upset that I brought you back yesterday?"

"Humph."

Having her thoughts read aloud, Hojo Suzune hummed twice and turned her head away without saying a word.

There was nothing wrong to begin with. If you hadn't rushed over so quickly after just one phone call, I could have stayed at Kiyoya's house last night.

If I act cute and charming, I might be able to sneak into his bed and get my way.

It made me climb the mountain for nothing, ride the open-air cable car, and take a half-hour cold shower.

I didn't get to enjoy Kiyoya's care much before you took me back.

Even the thought that she might lose the chance to sleep with Shiratori Seiya made Hojo Suzune feel heartbroken, and she wished she could pour her heart out to Hojo Shione.

"hehe."

Seeing her younger sister's impatient face, Hojo Shione chuckled and said:

"Even if I don't pick you up, do you think Kiyoya will let you stay at his house?"

"Yes, if you make yourself sick, it will make him feel sorry for you and take better care of you. But if I'm not in Tokyo, it's fine. As long as he can contact me, he will definitely send you back to me as soon as possible."

Having her little trick of feigning illness exposed, Hojo Suzune felt her face burn even hotter. Too lazy to deny it, she simply snorted:

"Hmph, how will you know if you don't try?"

I've tried it, you silly little sister.

Hojo Shione was somewhat speechless.

I had pretended to be sick to stay at his house, but he took me to the hospital overnight. Although I was happy and heartbroken to see how worried he was about me, I was still a little sad.

Especially since Suzune is his younger sister, even though he has already made every effort to give Shiratori Seiya a sense of security, it will be difficult for her to steal his food because of their relationship.

That's why I felt comfortable letting her go out and spend a day with Shiratori Seiya.

Despite her own pain, Hojo Shione felt a tightness in her chest whenever she thought about her sister's intimate contact with Shiratori Seiya.

However, she really didn't expect that Rinne would rather make herself sick than give up on trying it.

That's the right way to do it. How can you compete with others if you don't have this mindset?

Hojo Shione thought for a moment, her gaze sweeping over her younger sister's face, which still had a sickly blush, and confirmed:
Are you sure you want to see Mio Takahashi?

"See you, why not?"

Hojo Suzune retorted, staring at her sister's face with a mocking tone:
"I'm afraid only cowards wouldn't dare to meet him."

Hojo Shione wasn't annoyed, and smiled as she asked:
"Aren't you afraid she'll tell Kiyoya?"

"Sure, I just want to meet him. Even if you're not involved, we've known each other for so many years, what's wrong with me helping him vet the guy?"

Hojo Suzune pouted, trying to find an excuse for herself, but she was also a little nervous inside.

Regardless of the circumstances, the two have already established a relationship, and any further interference from me would likely only irritate Kiyoya.

Even so, I absolutely have to see him.

I want to know what kind of person she is, why she can be liked by Kiyoya, and why she even ignores me, her sister.
The resentment had already reached its peak before coming to Tokyo, when she saw the intimate photos of her and Seiya and learned that she was Seiya's girlfriend.

I must find out who this person really is, no matter what.

Thinking this, Hojo Suzune took a deep breath and prepared to open the car door and walk out.

However, just as she turned around, Hojo Shione suddenly noticed the red rope around the back of her neck, her pupils contracted slightly, and she reached out to grab her sister's arm. "Wait."

"what happened again?"

Turning around impatiently, Hojo Suzune was a little short of breath due to her low-grade fever.

Hojo Shione didn't speak, but ran her fingers along her sister's neck and took out the accessory she had hidden in her chest.

"What are you doing?"

Like a cat with its fur standing on end, Hojo Suzune grabbed the red rope and asked nervously, as if afraid it would be snatched away.

"Did Kiyozai give this to you?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? You're jealous about this? He gave you a lot of things for your birthday, didn't he? He even wrote a song for you..."

Hojo Shione didn't speak, her gaze sweeping over the small jade knife, her expression becoming complicated.

Can't forget it?
But can this keepsake also be given to my sister?

A look of confusion flashed in her eyes; Hojo Shione suddenly couldn't quite understand.

"Have you seen enough?"

She snatched the necklace and stuffed it into her clothes, then slid off her seat, closed the door, and walked into the school, leaving the girl in the car staring at her retreating figure in deep thought.

In Building 2 of the Faculty of Letters, Mio Takahashi stood at the entrance, peering out with a nervous heart.

People are always prone to fear of the unknown.

Receiving a strange text message, especially one about Shiratori Seiya, made her very nervous.

I couldn't help but recall the time I met Shiratori Seiya. Although the way he informed me was different, the content was just as unsettling.

Damn it, is this a threat?
Why is my life so miserable?

Frowning, Mio Takahashi's face was filled with a complicated expression as she couldn't help but start letting her mind wander.

However, after thinking it over carefully, I realized that I didn't have any leverage over anyone other than taking out online loans.

Did the other party also know that you took out an online loan?

That damn debt collection company is only good at leaking customer information. I'll report them!
Mio Takahashi was lost in thought, gazing into the distance, completely unaware that a petite girl had already walked up to her.

"You're Takahashi Mio?"

The sudden sound made Mio Takahashi's heart skip a beat. She snapped out of her daze and looked toward the source of the sound.

Where did this child come from?

Looking at the petite figure of the girl in front of her, this was the first thought that popped into Takahashi Mio's mind.

Immediately afterwards, her gaze was drawn to the other person's alluring eyes.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Mio Takahashi felt that the flush on the girl's face looked somewhat sickly. She blinked, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively asked:

"Are you... the one who sent the text message?"

"..."

Hojo Suzune didn't speak, but instead crossed her arms over her chest, her gaze scanning Takahashi Mio up and down like a scanner. She then circled Mio once more, before giving her a disdainful smile:

"Hmph, nothing special."
