Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 50 Relief
"Kiyo, how did you know Saori would be there...?"

"Idiot, I can tell just by looking at your shoes."

…………

The lounge was quiet, except for the crackling sound of bamboo swords coming through the door to the three of them.

Shiratori Seiya noticed their gazes, frowned, and wrapped his arm with his sleeve to barely cover the scar.

He himself didn't want to see the wound, which he saw as a huge mistake he had made in the past.

It's not that he regrets saving Saori Hasegawa; even if he had to do it again, ten times, or a hundred times, he would still jump without hesitation at that moment.

Money can do most things in this world, but it can never buy back Saori Hasegawa's life.

Have I put too much pressure on Saori?
During his recovery period after the surgery, Shiratori Seiya often reflected on himself, feeling that he had not considered things thoroughly and had not taken Hasegawa Saori's personality into account.

If you want to speed, you can't reach it.

Fortunately, this lesson was profound enough that he would provide psychological counseling to Xiyin every now and then, and try his best to meet her requests as long as they weren't excessive...

His thoughts were suddenly pulled away, and the current situation was clearly more troublesome. Shiratori Seiya came back to his senses and looked at the two girls in front of him one after the other.

Hasegawa Saori remained as dazed as ever, seemingly aware that she had done something wrong. She stood there blankly with her head down, taking small steps toward the corner of the wall, as if only by leaning against the wall could she barely feel at ease.

Takahashi Mio, standing beside him, had tears in her eyes and looked equally dazed, as if she was frightened by the scars on her hands.

Shiratori Seiya sighed inwardly. He didn't really care if Takahashi Mio knew about this; after all, it was impossible to keep it a secret forever, and she would find out sooner or later.

But that's not the point.

Some doubts have not been clarified at all.

Especially what Saori Hasegawa said to me just now, and the sword she stabbed at Mio Takahashi...

Although she deliberately missed the mark in the end, the intimidation...

Shiratori Seiya never expected that she would still have such deep feelings for him. The breakup was quite smooth, so smooth that he thought Saori had never known what love was, and perhaps only considered him a good friend.

but now……

This chaotic situation came too suddenly; it's hard to say whether someone said something to her that provoked her.

Recalling Saori's mention of Hojo Shione, Shiratori Seiya's expression turned serious.

"Sorry……"

Suddenly, Saori's voice came from beside me. At first glance, it sounded like she was apologizing to Mio Takahashi.

But when Shiratori Seiya looked up, he found Hasegawa Saori pouting and looking at him with eyes like a pitiful abandoned puppy.

Just as he was about to speak, Takahashi Mio, who was standing next to him, took a step to the side, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and whispered:
"It's ok."

"The main problem is that I really didn't know you two knew each other before... I shouldn't have come in and disturbed you..."

As she spoke, the girl forced a smile, glanced at Shiratori Seiya with a wronged look in her eyes, and then looked at Hasegawa Saori, preparing to bend down.

"okay."

Before she could even move, Shiratori Seiya reached out and pressed down on her shoulder, stopping her from bowing, and looked at her profile, saying:
"There are still some things I don't understand, and I want to ask her about them. I will give you an explanation."

"Oh."

Mio Takahashi responded, but her mind was already racing.

She had been standing outside the door, crouching down to listen to the two of them talk for a long time, and based on the information provided by Hojo Shione, she had figured out the general situation.

If I hadn't come in in time, I probably would have been taken down by this madman already.
Recalling the scene when she walked in, she couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Mio Takahashi had never intended to come in.

After all, randomly inserting information about Shiratori Seiya's past life would definitely provoke his resentment.

But given the situation just now, let alone a man, even she herself probably couldn't have held up.

Is her boyfriend, whom she's only been dating for less than a month, about to rekindle his romance with her first love?
She simply cannot accept this.

Thinking about this, Takahashi Mio suddenly realized why Hojo Shione had specifically emphasized that Hasegawa Saori was Shiratori Seiya's first love when she sent her the message. She was being used as a pawn.

That scheming woman...

However, although she was being used, she wasn't too angry. If Hojo Shione hadn't told her, it probably would have been quite dangerous.

Well, actually it is quite dangerous.

Mio Takahashi truly never imagined that, even in the 21st century, someone would still cut her up regardless of the occasion.

Thinking back to that sword strike, she couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Although the fear that followed was something she was faking to make Shiratori Seiya feel sorry for her, the tears were genuinely brought out by fear.

Isn't this madman afraid of offending Shiratori Seiya?
However, thinking this, she couldn't help but glance at Shiratori Seiya's left arm again, at that huge scar...

What exactly did he go through...?

He's really becoming more and more mysterious.

With her mind at ease, Mio Takahashi felt that she had done enough and learned enough today. Too much of anything was bad, and pushing Seiya Shiratori too far might not get her what she wanted.

Anyway, we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other.

Thinking this, Mio Takahashi nodded obediently, looked at Seiya Shiratori, and smiled:

"I'm fine, you guys talk first..."

She had barely finished speaking when there was a knock on the door.

‘Knock knock knock. ’

Immediately afterwards, a woman's voice appeared in the air through the door:
"Saori, are you inside? Saori?"

Saori, who was standing by the wall, realized what was happening, turned her head to look at the door, and then reached out to wipe away the tears in her eyes.

Just as she was about to open the door, she seemed to remember something, turned around and looked at Shiratori Seiya with a questioning expression.

"Let me do it."

Shiratori Seiya walked to the door and moved the chair away.

The door opened, and there stood the girl I had just met at the entrance.

Yokoyama Miyu was taken aback when she saw Shiratori Seiya open the door, then blinked and asked:

"Isn't Saori inside?"

"Here I am."

Shiratori Seiya stepped aside.

"oh oh."

Yokoyama Miyu peeked inside, first glancing at Hasegawa Saori standing beside her, and paused when she saw her slightly red eyes. Then she looked at the girl standing to the side and fell silent.

What a chaotic scene...

When she first learned that Saori Hasegawa liked this boy, she was thinking of giving the two of them enough space. However, after seeing another beautiful, even stunning, girl walk in, she felt something was wrong.

It turned out that when I asked Fujiyama Keio, I found out that the woman was actually Shiratori Seiya's girlfriend.

What the heck? She actually fell in love with a married man?
Saori, you bastard...

Even now, you can still feel the oppressive atmosphere between the three of them.

Yokoyama Miyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, giving Shiratori Seiya a deep look.

He then walked over to Saori Hasegawa, took her hand, and said with a smile:

"Saori, let's go, we're having lunch together..."
