Tokyo: I was tricked into marrying a yandere ghost
Chapter 67 The True Master
Asagiri Yuko's ex-husband is named Noguchi Yuji. He is quite ordinary-looking, and because he likes gambling, his character is obviously not very good either, making people wonder how he could have married Asagiri Yuko in the first place.
Kiyokawa Kiri knew very little about him, only having heard snippets from Asagiri An about Noguchi Yuji having his eye on the Asagiri family's izakaya.
The other party would come to Asagiri Yuko's door from time to time to ask for money, and even tried to sell the izakaya several times.
Asagiri Yuko was already afraid of her ex-husband, and now Asagiri An has also joined the fray.
—If Asagiri An is exposed, Noguchi Yuji will definitely realize something is wrong, and then it won't be a matter of money anymore.
The dead daughter suddenly reappears...
Just hearing about this kind of thing gives off a strange vibe.
"It seems that Miss Asagiri went out at just the right time today."
Kiyokawa Kiri's gaze darkened slightly.
He stopped what he was doing, walked out of the kitchen, and said expressionlessly, "The lady general has gone out on business. It's not open for business now, please leave..."
"And who are you?"
Yuji Noguchi frowned, clearly a little annoyed.
However, he was cautious and did not react immediately upon seeing Kiyokawa Mist, but instead tested the other party's identity.
For a gambling addict like him, reading between the lines and being obsequious had long become instinctive. Especially when he noticed that Kiyokawa Kiri had come out with an unfriendly expression, his attitude immediately underwent a subtle change.
Could it be that this izakaya has been sold? How come I've never seen this person before?
Thinking of this, Yuji Noguchi's face darkened even more. He had lost a lot of money gambling recently, and his original intention in coming here was to ask Asagiri Yuko for some money, or to find a way to take over this izakaya and resell it.
But if the izakaya has already been sold, then I really have no way out.
Fortunately, Kiyokawa's next words immediately eased his brow. The other person said calmly:
"I am an employee of the store."
"Just an employee?" Yuji Noguchi scoffed, his tone dismissive. "Is this how you talk to the real owner of this shop?"
He paused, then suddenly shouted in a rolled "r" tone, "Where did that wretched woman Asagiri go? She's been occupying my shop and hasn't even brought the money back. I have to come all the way here myself. Why don't you call her back right now?"
Turning the tables?
Kiyokawa Kiri narrowed her eyes slightly, but her heart gradually relaxed.
This guy is obviously bluffing me; he probably wants to take advantage of Asagiri Yuuko's absence to run off with the money in the store.
Unfortunately, the money in the store was probably all stored in the safe upstairs, and there probably wasn't much of it. Kiyokawa Kiri knew that Asagiri Yuko would go to the nearby ATM to deposit money every day—probably because she knew about her ex-husband's gambling addiction and didn't dare to keep too much cash on hand.
Even knowing that the store had no money, Kiyokawa Kiri was not going to back down.
He was supposed to pay the price anyway.
Moreover, Noguchi Yuji looked like a scoundrel, and seeing the other party shouting in a show of bravado, he immediately had the urge to take action.
"Even without calling Miss Mary out, I could easily beat up those two guys who gambled all night long."
Thinking of this, Kiyokawa Kiri gradually exhaled.
In order for one's abilities to be of the greatest use, they must meet the condition of being "endless".
However, he has not yet reached the peak of his male physical strength. In other words, Kiyokawa Mist is growing every moment. His appearance has been getting better and better recently, which is the best proof. If the change in appearance is so great, the change in his internal body is even more obvious.
Kiyokawa Kiri had hardly ever trained, but her body had already developed the beginnings of abdominal muscles, and her physical condition was undergoing a dramatic transformation.
The only thing to worry about is that his legal troubles haven't been resolved yet.
If I beat those two up again, there will probably be a lot of trouble later... In that case, I'll have to ask Kawakami Tomie for help, and I'll just have to sacrifice my looks a bit more.
After figuring everything out, Kiyokawa Kiri's expression suddenly relaxed.
Looking at Noguchi Yuji, who was constantly trying to act fierce and bluffing, and his gambling companion who was getting increasingly impatient, he suddenly took two steps forward.
"What...what do you want to do...?"
Surprisingly, when Noguchi Yuji saw Kiyokawa Kiri approach with such confidence, he subconsciously took a step back.
A flicker of fear crossed his eyes, but he stubbornly maintained his composure, saying, "You idiot, can't you understand human language? I'm the owner of this shop. Be careful, or I'll fire you later."
"This shop belongs to Asagiri."
Kiyokawa Kiri's eyes turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Stop pretending. I heard Miss Asagiri mention it before."
"You're the man who wants to take away her ancestral property. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being impolite."
"You..." Cold sweat dripped down Yuji Noguchi's forehead.
Most gambling addicts are actually quite irrational. These people choose to wallow in their own depravity and are even willing to sell their families for a moment of pleasure.
For people who have no moral bottom line, reason simply doesn't exist.
But just looking at the handsome young man standing in front of him, Yuji Noguchi felt a suffocating sense of oppression—a feeling he had experienced before when he borrowed money from loan sharks to gamble and couldn't pay it back. The loan sharks slammed his hand on the chopping board, ready to chop it off.
The sense of oppression that Yuji Noguchi is feeling now is exactly the same as it was back then.
His intuition told him that if he didn't leave now, he might have to leave his "hand" there.
Moreover, Kiyokawa Kirito is clearly a young guy, and when he gets going, he doesn't hold back at all... Those who really do shady business at least know that there's a limit to what they can do, otherwise if they really kill someone, how will they get their money back?
But it's different for young people like Kiyokawa Kiri.
In the heat of the moment, someone might actually kill someone on the spot, without caring about the consequences.
Yuji Noguchi has seen many similar figures.
"asshole......"
Yuji Noguchi's face twitched slightly; he felt somewhat embarrassed and couldn't save face.
In fact, his intuition was correct, and Kiyokawa Mist had indeed killed two fools—dealing with ghost stories all day had also caused a strange change in his aura.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, the gambling addict's companion finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Hey, Yuuji... that bitch probably isn't here either, let's go."
