Tokyo: I was tricked into marrying a yandere ghost

Kiyokawa Kiri hadn't expected the Kawakami family to live so far away, in Roppongi Hills in Minato Ward, and without subway or tram service. The two of them had to transfer to a bus to get to the vicinity.

Looking at the vast, empty new city in the distance, Kiyokawa Kiri asked with some puzzlement, "Do you live around here?"

"There are still a few old houses over there that haven't been demolished yet; my home is in that area."

Tomie Kawakami gestured towards the residential area not far away.

She's quite a well-off woman now.

The Roppongi Hills project entered the planning stage in the early 1990s.

Now, a year later, some plots of land in the area have begun to be demolished and reorganized, and the value of this land far exceeds what others imagined.

Just one point is enough to understand the value of this land – Roppongi is adjacent to Ginza and Shibuya, and this large area is the most prosperous place in Tokyo in the future. High-end and international are the words people use to describe it.

Tomie Kawakami's home is a three-story villa located behind the new town.

The demolition compensation will, barring any unforeseen circumstances, be enough to ensure she's well-off for the rest of her life.

Even if they compensate with a new house nearby, it would be an astronomical figure considering the size of the Roppongi Hills site.

"This is just one of them. My parents bought many properties before they passed away. They also had two in the Linhai Sub-city Center and several around the Shiodome Freight Station. I don't remember the other smaller houses."

"However, most of them were sold in the past two years or were included in demolition projects. Now, only this one remains in my possession."

Hearing Kawakami Tomie's calm tone, Kiyokawa Kiri's eyes twitched slightly.

Did you save the world in your past life?

Perfectly avoiding all the wrong options?!

These past few years have been Japan's famous "bubble economy" period, during which many real estate speculators ended up on rooftops because the bubble burst.

Unfortunately, the Kawakami family is quite peculiar. Almost all of the properties they bought were in prime locations slated for demolition and redevelopment, and most of them were sold before the bubble burst. Not only did they secure their own assets, but they also made a fortune by taking advantage of the market boom.

This is no longer a matter of whether it's supernatural or not, or whether the ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke.

Only if the ancestral graves are ablaze and a mushroom cloud appears could this be withstood.

Kiyokawa Kiri hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter "Amazing," and Kawakami Tomie was clearly pleased to hear it.

She gave a charming smile, then pulled Kiyokawa Mist upstairs—according to her, it would be easier to take Kiyokawa Mist back to the "scene" when there were no passersby at night.

It's a little past four in the afternoon, and it will be at least three more hours before it gets dark.

"There are workers doing renovations inside the nearby subway station. We'd better wait until they finish before going over," said Tomie Kawakami lazily, taking out her keys to open the door. "In the meantime, you can stay home with me and wait. You're the first guy to enter my house..."

"Yeah?"

Kiyokawa Kiri expressed doubt about this.

If I remember correctly, Tomie in the original work should have had a childhood friend.

Furthermore, Tomie has deep ties with Yamamoto and Takagi, which is one of the main reasons why the "unrestricted" storyline began later.

But after spending some time with Tomie Kawakami, he discovered that this version of Tomie seemed somewhat different...

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kawakami Tomie suddenly turned her head, frowning and looking at the latter coldly, and said with dissatisfaction, "Do you think I'm that kind of frivolous woman?"

Is not it?

Kiyokawa Kirito inwardly grumbled, then saw Kawakami Tomie take off her round-toed leather shoes. She gently hooked her white socks with her slender, soft fingers and pulled them off with a little force. The natural movement made people swallow hard.

Kiyokawa Kiri sensed something was amiss. After shifting his gaze, he coughed lightly and said:

"It's not a matter of being frivolous or not."

"There's a term in Japanese social culture called 'fuki,' which roughly describes a person's fickle mind and tendency to change their mind easily... But it seems like people nowadays really enjoy this kind of social culture, right?"

"And didn't you seem very happy at school just now?" he added.

Kiyokawa Kiri wasn't just making things up; Japan does indeed have this kind of social culture.

Nowadays, most Japanese high school students are proud of their "rich dating experience".

The main reason is that they believe "only popular people can be experienced," so being experienced is equivalent to being popular and in high demand. If a person doesn't have enough dating experience, it means no one wants them, so they don't want them either.

Simply put, people who have had more romantic relationships are more popular, while those who haven't are less popular and lack sexual appeal.

"So that's how it is..."

After hearing what Kiyokawa Kiri said, Kawakami Tomie suddenly froze on the spot.

She looked at Kiyokawa Kiri thoughtfully, then smiled slightly: "I understand, you were jealous."

"No, no, no, what exactly made you think I was jealous?"

Kiyokawa Kiri's lips twitched slightly.

He didn't mean that at all; he was just expressing his doubt about the fact that "Kawakami Tomie never brings boys home."

"I'm not lying to you, I've been living here alone since my parents passed away."

"I don't like people coming into my house, you're the first exception..."

Tomie Kawakami, with a rather wicked sense of humor, threw over a white sock.

Kiyokawa caught it instinctively; the sock still carried warmth and a faint fragrance. He silently tossed it aside beside the entrance.

Where is the restroom? You need to wash your hands first.

"So you're the kind of surprisingly conservative guy after all?" Kawakami Tomie moved closer, gently tracing circles on Kiyokawa Kiri's chest with her finger, a gesture so tender it seemed like flirting. She smiled sweetly and said, "I understand. I'll keep my distance from them from now on."

She paused, then added with a hint of curiosity, "By the way, Kiyokawa-kun is my first love. Am I your first love?"

of course not.

It would be too tragic if you could never have a girlfriend in two lifetimes.

Kiyokawa Kiri did have a relationship, but that was all ancient history. Besides, he didn't want to reveal his identity as a transmigrator in Kawakami Tomie, so he simply kept quiet, pretended not to hear, and took off his shoes in the entrance hall.

His attitude, however, caused Kawakami Tomie's smile to freeze.

She immediately sensed something was wrong and said with disgust, "You actually have an ex-girlfriend?"

"Don't say such nonsensical things, I didn't say anything..."

"Disgusting! I don't even have an ex-boyfriend." Kawakami Tomie's face darkened completely. She said coldly, "Who is it? High school, middle school, elementary school, or maybe a college student or an older woman who's already working?"
