My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

You need to be prepared, as life in a big city will be very different from what you imagine.

Of course, given that you, Kuranaga-kun, have helped me, I will naturally give you something in return.

After Takayanagi Ichiro finished speaking, he took out one of his business cards and handed it to Kuranaga Kozue.

"This is my personal business card. If you encounter any difficulties when you go to big cities, you can call me directly, and I can provide you with some assistance where appropriate."

However, I must remind you that it's best to finish high school here and then go to university or work elsewhere before officially starting your career, rather than making a hasty decision at this point.

Takayanagi Ichiro's advice was quite simple: Kuranaga Kozue should finish high school here before making any plans, instead of looking forward to life outside and choosing to drop out of school.

Kuranaga Kozue understood this as well, and held Takayanagi Ichiro's business card tightly in both hands as if it were something very precious, and then bowed slightly to Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Mr. Gao Liu, thank you very much for your help. I will definitely make full preparations before venturing out into the world."

In the past, Kuranaga Sho's father had indeed considered dropping out of school to make a living outside, but now, after being reminded by Takayanagi Ichiro and obtaining his business card, her thoughts have changed.

You must heed Takayanagi Ichiro's advice; he would never harm her.

Chapter 481 Kuranaga Kozue's Reminder

Now that the atmosphere in this small town has changed, there's no need to rush to leave and venture into a big city.

It would be better to heed Ichiro Takayanagi's advice, improve one's own abilities, and then go out and make a name for oneself; the opportunities one would have would be much greater.

The fact that an outsider like Ichiro Takayanagi could have a friendly conversation with Naoto Nagisa demonstrates that he possesses this ability.

His words of advice were definitely helpful.

"After all, you helped me before, so I'm willing to give you a little reminder."

If you can take my words to heart, you will definitely gain something from them, but I will not forcibly stop you from doing certain things.

Ultimately, you need to take control of your own life. I hope you succeed in the end.

After finishing his speech, Takayanagi Ichiro drove away, showing no intention of lingering at the school.

Even when he saw Haruka Kasugano and Nao Yorihime riding by on bicycles, he didn't stop to say hello.

After all, my relationship with them will be severed after I leave this town.

Kasugano Haruka and Yorihime Nao didn't try to stop Takayanagi Ichiro, but instead rode their bicycles to Kuranaga Kozue's side.

“Shao, we just saw you bowing to that stranger. What happened?”

Although that guy showed up at my grandfather's funeral and helped with some things.

But I don't think he's a good person, so I hope you can be more careful.

At this moment, Kasugano Yu directly denied Takayanagi Ichiro's identity as an outsider, intending to raise his classmate's vigilance.

After hearing what Kasugano Haruka said, Kuronaga Kozue was a little unhappy, and her gaze toward Kuronaga Kozue was somewhat unfriendly.

"Yu, I appreciate your concern for me, but you shouldn't be so dismissive of others."

Besides, this is my own business, and there's no need for me to report anything to you.

Even if I end up losing out, I'll bear the consequences alone.

Kuronaga Kozue's attitude was a bit off, which made Yorihime Nao feel very strange, and she immediately spoke up to defend her man.

"Shao, You is genuinely concerned about you. We don't know much about outsiders, so we should be more vigilant."

Since both Kozue Kuranaga and Nao Yorihime are women, it should be easier for them to communicate.

Unfortunately, Kozue Kuronaga did not appreciate it. Instead, she looked at Haruka Kasugano and Nao Yorihime with a strange gaze.

"Shao, what are you looking at us for?"

Kasugano Yuu felt something was off, wondering if Yorihime Nao had gone mad.

"Although you two had a good relationship before, you've never been this close."

In addition, I saw that you, Nao, were helping out at Dr. Kasugano's funeral, so your relationship with Yu must have improved a lot.

I want to congratulate you; your wish has come true.

You've all always wanted to stay and live in this small town, but I'm filled with longing for the outside world, so I will never give up.

Kuronaga Kozue actually figured out the relationship between them, which surprised both Kasugano Yu and Yorihime Nao, but they weren't shocked.

Because of the relationship between Kasugano Haruka and Yorihime Nao, almost everyone in the town and school knows about it.

However, Kasugano Haruka's sister had been interfering before, which is why it didn't succeed so quickly.

Kozue Kuranaga and Nao Yorihime had a good relationship, so she was aware of some of Nao Yorihime's wishes.

In addition, considering Yorihime Nao's behavior at Dr. Kasugano's funeral, she had already figured out the truth.

Kasugano Haruka's face flushed slightly. He didn't want to reveal his situation to the school or people he knew, but Yorihime Nao openly admitted it.

"Yu and I did indeed get married, and we even received Yu's grandfather's approval."

After hearing what Yorihime Nao said, Kuranaga Kozue was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that Dr. Kasugano would agree to this.

If Dr. Kasugano had agreed earlier, Kasugano Haruka and Yorihime Nao might have gotten together much earlier. This suggests that he doesn't approve of the relationship between Kasugano Haruka and Yorihime Nao in the future.

The fact that things have turned out this way is perhaps because Dr. Kasugano felt he didn't have much time left and didn't want to cause any trouble for his grandson, Kasugano Yu.

"Then I hope you can all live well and have a good life in this small town."

Kozue Kuranaga sent her heartfelt blessings to Haruka Kasugano and Nao Yorihime.

She wanted to venture out to big cities, while Kasugano Haruka and Yorihime Nao wanted to stay and live in this small town.

The two have slightly different ideals, and it's unlikely they can force themselves to continue living together.

Separating is the best solution for everyone.

"Sho, we're really worried..."

Yorihime Nao wanted to continue persuading Kuranaga Kozue at this moment, but Kuranaga Kozue raised her hand to stop her.

"I know what you want to say, but I will take responsibility for my choices."

After meeting Mr. Takayanagi, I did have the idea of ​​leaving this small town and venturing out into the world through him.

However, Mr. Takayanagi just reminded me that the town's vigilance towards the outside world has changed.

He told me to improve my own abilities before venturing out into the world.

If you really need any help, you can contact him for assistance.

Therefore, I believe that Mr. Takayanagi is a truly good person, not the kind of person you described.

I hope you won't say that to my face again, otherwise our relationship will be affected.

In the past, Kozue Kuranaga, Haruka Kasugano, Nao Yorihime, and others had a good relationship, but as they grew up, their ideals changed, and their relationship became less close.

Now that Kozue Kuranaga has finally gotten the chance to venture out into the big city, she certainly won't let it slip by, because she still has Ichiro Takayanagi as a trump card.

Therefore, Kuronaga Kozue does not want anyone to speak ill of Takayanagi Ichiro in front of her, not even her former good friends.

Kasugano Haruka wanted to persuade Kuronaga Kozue, but Yorihime Nao stopped her.

"Sho, we will always be friends, so I will never interfere with your choices, and I will never speak ill of that person in front of you in the future."

"Classes start now, so let's go to school first."

Chapter 482 Reencounter with Three Little Cuties

Since Kozue Kuranaga doesn't want to hear anything bad about Ichiro Takayanagi at this time, there's no need for Nao Yorihime and Haruka Kasugano to cause trouble.

So after hearing what Yorihime Nao said, Kasugano Haruka didn't say anything more and pushed his bicycle into the school.

Kuronaga Kozue did not take any steps to ease the tension, since they both had different ideals and there was no need to force each other to agree.

............

After tidying up his room at the hospital and washing everything that needed washing, Takayanagi Ichiro drove to the house that Ifukube Yashiro had previously looked at.

When Takayanagi Ichiro arrived, he found that there were already quite a few people there, seemingly carrying out renovations and construction on the house.

Ifukube Yashiro and Amamiya Etsumiko walked over together and greeted Takayanagi Ichiro, accompanied by three adorable little girls.

"Big brother."

The three cuties greeted Takayanagi Ichiro together, especially the cutie with orange hair.

She had been rescued by Takayanagi Ichiro, so her greeting was the loudest and clearest.

"Big brother, Sister Yashiro said that this confectionery shop was opened with your help."

"Could you give us a discount when we buy snacks here next time?"

Sayama Chie, this adorable girl, directly tried to take advantage of Takayanagi Ichiro, much to the surprise of her two friends.

The cute girl with white hair and twin tails was a little nervous because she had some other feelings for Chie Sayama.

If the adorable Chie Sayama really likes Ichiro Takayanagi, then Ichiro Takayanagi will become her rival in love.

"Chihiro, although I'm helping your sister Yashiro prepare to open a confectionery shop here, she is the actual owner of the confectionery shop."

You should tell the boss what kind of discount you want, not me.

He greeted the three little cuties, and then explained Sayama Chie's request, telling her to ask Ifukube Yashiro instead of coming to him.

Upon hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words, Sayama Chie immediately turned her gaze to Ifukube Yashiro.

"Xiaoqian, you're practically a child I've watched grow up, you're like my little sister."

If you become my customers in the future, I will definitely give you a discount.

This is something you two can only know; you can't tell anyone else, or I'll lose money.

Of course, Ifukube Yashiro wouldn't refuse these adorable little ones' requests.

However, she did have one condition: she couldn't tell anyone else, or she would suffer a great loss.

"Don't worry, Sister Yashiro, we promise to keep this a secret and will never tell anyone else."
