Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

If you don't eat it, the thick rice will react, and it would be embarrassing if it were discovered.

Shiro Shiro agreed.

"Okay, I'll give you a massage in a bit, Auntie."

Sato Ayaka was overjoyed, not expecting Bai Feng to agree so easily.

"Then let me help you put your schoolbag in your room first."

"Erina is staying in her room and won't come out. I couldn't get her to come out just now, but she seems to listen to you."

"Why don't you try to get her to come out?"

Shiro nods, then walks to Erina's room and knocks on the door.

Knock knock knock~

"Erina?"

"Out for a late-night snack."

However, after knocking on the door for a while, no one came out to answer.

Shiro Shiro felt somewhat puzzled.

Erina used to be happy to come out whenever she heard about having a late-night snack.

What's going on today.

Why haven't they come out yet?

Shiro Kaede reached out and knocked on the door again:

"Erina?"

However, there was still no response after knocking on the door this time.

Shiro Kaede frowned slightly.

Do you think Erina might already be asleep?

Thinking of this, he originally planned to leave and let Erina continue to sleep alone.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound coming from the room.

Upon hearing this voice, Shiro Kaede was taken aback, then asked solemnly:

"Erina, I can hear you crying."

"Did something happen?"

However, there was still no response from inside the room, only the sound of very soft sobbing.

Concerned about Erina's safety, Shirakaze asked again:

"Erina, if you don't say something, I'm opening the door."

Still receiving no response, Bai Feng turned the doorknob without saying a word.

But they found the door locked from the inside.

Seeing this, he was worried about what might happen to Erina, so he used his telekinesis to unlock the door and push it open.

Shirakaze Kamishiro scanned the room, and what came into view was a pile of dolls arranged in a row, and Erina Kamishiro curled up in the room, sobbing.

Upon hearing the door open, Erina Kamishiro visibly trembled, already guessing that Bai Feng had entered the room.

Although she didn't know why he was able to open the door, Erina still didn't look up and remained curled up on the bed, sobbing softly.

Seeing Erina secretly crying, Shirayuki thought someone had bullied her, so he quickly went to her bedside and asked:

"Erina, why are you suddenly crying?"

"Did something happen?"

"Is someone bullying you at school?"

Upon hearing Bai Feng's words, Erina Kamishiro curled up even tighter, covered her face with her hands, and remained silent.

Shiro Shiro reached out and touched Erina's shoulder, asking with concern:

"Did something upset you? Tell me about it."

"Maybe I can help you solve this."

Erina Kamishiro cried as she said:

"No, nothing!"

"Get out of here!"

Even after Shirakaze asked several more times, Erina remained the same.

Seeing her like this, Bai Feng knew something must have happened.

But I also know that Erina is a stubborn person who won't listen to reason.

Someone with my aunt's soft and gentle personality definitely wouldn't be able to coax her.

Therefore, Shiro Shiro had no choice but to be a little tougher and find out what happened, otherwise it would be troublesome if a big mistake was made.

He forcefully picked up Erina Kamishiro, who was curled up, and placed her on his lap.

Erina was clearly startled by Bai Feng's action, but she quickly came to her senses and, while crying, reached out to push Bai Feng away haphazardly.

"Waaaaah, let me go!"

However, Shiro Shiro reached out and grabbed her flailing hand, looking at her with a very stern expression:

"What happened?"

After realizing she couldn't move, Erina Kamishiro started crying loudly and pitifully.

Seeing this, Bai Feng sighed helplessly, slowly released his hand to wipe away her tears, and asked softly:

"I'm your brother, I won't harm you."

"What happened?"

"Tell me about it quickly."

Erina Kamishiro cried out:

Waaaaah~ You lied to me!

Looking at Erina in his arms, Shiro Shiro asked in bewilderment:

"What do you mean, 'I'm lying to you again'?"

"When did I lie to you!"

Erina was in tears:

"Waaaaah~ about your coffee shop. You clearly own this coffee shop, why didn't you say so sooner?"

Kamdai Bai Feng complained:

"Didn't I tell you before? I didn't lie to you. You just didn't believe me."

Erina pouted and sobbed:

"Waaaaah~ That's not it!"

Bai Feng knew that girls who cried always spoke strangely, so he patiently inquired:

Which one are you referring to?

Erina wiped away her tears and choked out:

"Waaaaah~ It's about that time you borrowed one million yen from Yui-nee when you opened your shop. Waaaaah~ Back then, Auntie asked you if you needed anything or any money, and you said you didn't need anything, that was a lie, wasn't it?"

"If you lose, you'll have to sign a contract to become a star, waaaaaah~"

Kamishiro Hakufeng smiled somewhat helplessly:

"It's not a big deal."

"And when you asked me, I already had it all figured out."

"Of course I told you I didn't need the money."

Erina cried and said:

"That's not it!"

Bai Feng forced a smile:

"And who is that?"

Erina cried out:

"You didn't tell us anything!"

"Why didn't you say anything about such a big deal as borrowing a million?"

"Can't we help you?"

Kamishiro Shirofumi sighed softly:

"My aunt's money didn't come easily."

"And you know your aunt's personality, don't you?"

"If I told her, she definitely wouldn't agree."

“They might even give us more money every day, and we might even secretly go out to do a few more jobs to supplement our family income.”

"I had already borrowed the money by then. If I had told her directly, my aunt would have cried herself to death out of worry."

"Do you think we can coax them then?"

After hearing Bai Feng's words, Erina's eyes were still red, but she didn't cry as hard, only sobbing occasionally.

"Even so, you should at least have told me."

"That's a million yen."

What if interest compoundes?
