Higashino remained outwardly calm, then, taking advantage of the woman's sudden outburst, decisively snatched the photos and tore them to shreds.
Sneak attack!
With a mischievous grin, Miyamizu Futaba pulled out more photos from her pocket, spread them out in a fan shape, and held them in her hands to show him the composure of an old-timer and the rich spoils of war.
Akira Higashino felt his fist harden!
He immediately started fighting with her, or rather, he was unilaterally taking her down, pinning her to his lap and brutally punching the taillights.
Then I listened as she went from laughing mockingly to gradually falling silent, her face turning red.
Higashino Akira paused for a moment, then stopped.
The other person, her face flushed, stood up quietly to the side, not daring to look at him.
"Mitsuba?"
Akira Higashino asked a probing question.
The woman nodded gently. "Mm."
"What did you just do?"
With a blush, Miyamizu Mitsuha took out a thick stack of documents from her bag. "These are various financial statements and business directories, as well as some documents that need your signature. Minister Zhuge asked me to deliver them to you."
"Where's Futaba?"
"Mom has changed back."
"So, you were fully conscious and just watching while she was there?"
Miyamizu Mitsuha blushed and was too embarrassed to answer.
Akira Higashino's expression fell.
The woman, Miyamizu Futaba, is the most cunning. Knowing she was going to be beaten, she died early so that the dignified founding emperor and pantheon god, Higashino Akira, would feel like he owed her something. In the end, she used her daughter's body to repeatedly provoke him, betting that he would suffer in vain if he didn't take action. If he did, she would throw her daughter out to suffer, and afterwards, she even found a powerful backer for her daughter.
That's really asking for a beating!
I shouldn't have taken her to the amusement park when she could still project her consciousness. What's the point of a child playing? She'll have plenty of time to play later. That money should have been used to buy her a bunch of homework help, and let her pick a bamboo stick to get a beating.

Chapter Sixty Hino Zoo
What is your position in the company?
"She was originally in the sales department, but today her supervisor transferred her to be the president's secretary."
"Did you get scolded by that supervisor?"
Miyamizu Mitsuha nodded awkwardly.
Higashino realized that the person controlling Mitsuba was the middle school version of Nitsuba. No wonder she was such a little brat. But how could a middle school student have such a strong maternal aura?
Is it because she knows she will have a daughter in the future that she is overflowing with maternal instincts?
Moreover, this woman is really tight-lipped!
The notes I took back didn't reveal a single word; they're just waiting for me here!
After glancing at the recent business situation of Yunmeng Group, he signed the necessary documents and sent Miyamizu Mitsuha, who always seemed a bit reserved around him, back to the company to be alone in her room.
Akira Higashino took out his phone and sent a message to Saki Kawasaki, then turned and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Early in the morning, Akira Higashino took a car to pick up Saki Kawasaki, and then drove straight to Hino Zoo, the place that Shoko had mentioned was most likely to have caused her to end up like this.
Higashino Akira had actually sent the Imperial Guards and even contacted Xiaoyexiao to investigate, but neither the Imperial Guards' professional abilities nor Xiaoyexiao's ability to see ghosts could find anything unusual here.
In the end, only Higashino Akira could come and take a look. If he couldn't find anything unusual either, it would mean that Xiangzi's speculation was wrong, or that the anomaly here was too great, far beyond their capabilities, and they couldn't solve it. They could only wait and see if there would be a chance to help Xiangzi turn back into human form later.
Bringing Kawasaki Saki along is perfectly fine, as the zoo is exactly as normal as it appears, operating almost daily with a good number of visitors, and I haven't heard of anyone encountering any accidents there.
At the zoo entrance, Akira Higashino bought his tickets, grabbed a visitor's guide, and walked into the zoo with Saki Kawasaki.
Perhaps sensing the man's lack of interest in excessive makeup, the girl simply used some skincare products and applied lip balm before going out, making her look exceptionally youthful and charming.
In addition, Akira Higashino bought her a bunch of clothes when he played the live-action version of Love Nikki. Although most of them were not suitable for wearing out in public, a small number of them were relatively normal. They were just a bit too cute. Although it made Saki Kawasaki, who was already a high school student, feel a little embarrassed by this style of dressing, as if she was trying to look young, it was not entirely unacceptable.
She would normally be too embarrassed to dress like this, but today she was meeting this person after all.
After more than a month apart, Kawasaki Saki, who had already gotten used to that kind of relationship, would occasionally have some thoughts, though she didn't say it out loud.
As long as a girl doesn't reject the other person in her heart, she will also have desires and needs.
As a result, Kawasaki Saki became subtly more proactive today. Her face remained expressionless, but she had already taken the initiative to reach out and hold Higashino Akira's arm, moving closer and gently pressing her body against his.
Akira Higashino wasn't oblivious; he could naturally sense the girl's change. He simply smiled at her, causing Saki Kawasaki, who already had some ulterior motives, to blush slightly on her fair face.
Just as I was about to say something, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside me.
"Oh my, isn't this Higashino-kun?"
"I never expected to run into you here so many years after graduation. It's been so long!"
Early in the morning, the sun was shining brightly. Yang Nai, who rarely had any free time, took her younger sister's hand and led her to the zoo to relax. They had just come out of the red panda enclosure with great enthusiasm.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she waved to a familiar figure not far away, then walked over with her younger sister, Yukino.
Akira Higashino turned his head and saw the woman who had been a prominent figure in his class and school during his high school years.
"It's Yukinoshita. It's been a long time."
"Just call me Yang Nai. You're really something, still so cold."
Yang shook her head, sighed as if regretful, and then proudly pushed her younger sister in front of her, "Come, come, let me introduce you. This is my younger sister, Yukino Yukinoshita. Isn't she cute?"
What does it mean?
I have more sisters than you, and they have better personalities than yours. I've bragged about that.
Higashino Akira gave a polite smile and nodded, "You are indeed cute. You two look quite alike, but your temperaments are a bit different."
"Right?" Yukinoshita Haruno smiled smugly, her face beaming with genuine joy.
It's clear that she has pure Chiba blood.
Noticing that his old classmate was accompanied by a girl with light blue hair, Yang asked him curiously, "Is this your sister?"
"She's my girlfriend."
Akira Higashino noticed that ever since she saw Yukino Yukinoshita, Saki Kawasaki, who was holding his arm, had unconsciously tightened her grip, clearly indicating that she was feeling uneasy and somewhat nervous.
Therefore, Higashino Akira did not hide anything or have anything he couldn't say. He openly acknowledged his relationship with her to the outside world, thus avoiding any possibility of embarrassing her.
Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Haruno slightly widened her eyes, her gaze shifting between the two of them.
"Oh dear... this is really... if Xiao Jing finds out, she might be heartbroken for a long time."
She smiled meaningfully, "After all, another of my students has started dating, and it's Higashino-kun who used to pay the least attention to this kind of thing."
Considering that these two have a teacher-student relationship, a friend relationship, and even occasionally have some slightly inappropriate tendencies, yet their relationship has never progressed further, if Higashino already has a lover, it seems that Shizuka has lost again.
Hesitation inevitably leads to defeat.
I've been telling her to be brave for ages, but she wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened.
Despite thinking this to herself, Yukino Yukinoshita did not intend to interfere in other people's relationships. She kept the matter to herself and did not show any change in expression.
On the contrary, when Yukino Yukinoshita heard the introduction of her girlfriend, she carefully looked at her sister's classmate, paused for a moment, and then turned her gaze to Saki Kawasaki, greeting her softly.
"Hello... Kawasaki-kun."
Kawasaki Saki nodded at her with a somewhat indifferent expression. "Hello, Yukinoshita-san."
The conversation between the two was lukewarm, not particularly enthusiastic, and continued purely out of politeness to avoid embarrassing those around them.
Otherwise, Saki Kawasaki herself didn't like Yukino Yukinoshita, this aloof and unapproachable young lady, and usually wouldn't bother to say more than a few words to her.
Seeing this, Yukinoshita Haruno raised an eyebrow. "You two know each other?"
Yukino nodded gently. "Kawasaki is a classmate in Class F of the second year at Sobu High School. The Service Club had a brief encounter with her before because of a request."
Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita's pupils trembled slightly. Soubu High School? And isn't this the class that Shizuka teaches? This is terrible. If Shizuka finds out about this, she won't just be sad, she might even be a little angry.
Chapter Sixty-One: The Family Has Picked Up Another Cat
Yukino's heart was churning with emotion, but on the surface she maintained an elegant and proper smile, and said half-jokingly.
"That's great, Higashino-kun is in love too."
"But now that you already have such a cute girlfriend like Kawasaki, you can't keep trying to hit on our Yukino, okay..."
Akira Higashino smiled politely but remained silent.
Are you kidding me? I'd rather choose Haruno than Yukino, okay? What's the point of hitting on her?
Is it because she's sarcastic? Is it because she's cold? Or is it because she has small breasts?
Kawasaki Saki looked at Yukinoshita Haruno with a blank expression. She appeared calm on the surface, but her ears were actually turning slightly red from the teasing of this older sister.
I have to say, although I've convinced myself that since I have no other choice and this man doesn't intend to let me go, it's just a matter of not having freedom in my heart. At worst, I'll just try to accept him. Anyway, he's young and not ugly, so I won't lose out.
In the past, Akira Higashino told her that if she couldn't hide their relationship from others, she could just tell them that they were a couple. Saki Kawasaki just listened to it as a psychological comfort.
But when she actually encountered this situation and saw him introduce himself as his girlfriend to people he knew without hesitation, Saki Kawasaki couldn't help but feel a little touched.
At least in his heart, he still cares about her and is a responsible person. Although his feelings are somewhat twisted, realistic, unfaithful, and unconventional, he doesn't just treat her as a tool to vent his own desires.
As for Yukinoshita's younger sister, Saki Kawasaki felt nothing at all, while Yukinoshita Yukino was too young to be touched.
Not to mention that her relationship with this man was inherently unequal and abnormal, and she had no right to talk about possessiveness.
Based on her nearly three months of experience with Akira Higashino, it's clear that he prefers women who are larger, a little bit voluptuous, and have a softer personality. In this respect, compared to Yukino Yukinoshita, Saki Kawasaki feels that her advantages are too great.
His personality is too strong; it's impossible for him to fall for another girl who is also too strong-willed and independent.
For some reason, Yukino Yukinoshita sensed a faint malice, not evil, but offensive.
She reached out and gently tugged at Yang Nai, her cool and pretty face serious. "Sister, don't joke like that!"
"I'm sorry, I'll stop now. It was rude of me."
