Tokyo: Let the wicked women pay the price!

Who said this is your first time meeting someone?

Fujino extended his hand and shook hands with Takanashi Riki, whom he was pretending to be meeting for the first time.

It was impossible to ignore her, but Fujino also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

After all, enemies are bound to be hostile when they meet, and Fujino didn't want to have any interaction with the other party.

He looked at Kotori Mitsuki and the two professors with questioning eyes.

These three all know about his feud with the Takanashi family, so they should at least give him some hints.

Little did anyone know that Takanashi Mitsuki was trembling the whole time and had no idea that Fujino was looking at her.

Professor Kasai smiled kindly and nodded slightly; Professor Muto, on the other hand, looked at Takanashi Riki without making any further moves.

Well, one crashed, one is hesitating, and one says it should be okay.

Looking at Takanashi Riki's formulaic smile, he felt like vomiting.

They're so hypocritical it's disgusting.

Just a week ago, she was plotting against me, determined to kill me.

How can you put on this nonchalant act now?

Fujino suddenly realized that he was still too unsophisticated by his upbringing and wasn't very good at the kind of hypocrisy that high-class families had learned from a young age.

Especially since this guy became an assistant professor...

Although Kobe-senpai didn't meddle much in other people's business in the past, the assistant professor theoretically has a lot of power in the medical department.

If it weren't for the fact that psychiatric surgery is practically nonexistent, Assistant Professor Kobe could even decide who performs surgery or prohibits someone from performing surgery.

And now, at least Takanashi Riki can trip herself up in areas such as scheduling and writing papers, which is foreseeable.

Ugh, so annoying.

But the panel that suddenly popped up caught his eye.

[Takanashi Riki: Fujino Kazuhiko... what kind of person is he really? I need to find out more before I make a move. Before that, I can't let him notice anything amiss. Ideally, I should become his friend. Then, I'll stab him in the back! Next week's Christmas should be a good opportunity. I should ask him out then, and we can have a good talk.]

[Worldline 1: On Christmas Eve, you accept Takanashi Riki's invitation alone, wanting to test her limits. (Reward: Riki's imprisonment; she seems to be enjoying it.)]

[Worldline 2: You've arrived just in time. Let everyone go on a date and achieve a historic reconciliation. (Reward: Limited-time trial of 'Split Action')]

[Worldline 3: With so many people liking you, you'd better hide it well. Time management is of paramount importance! (Reward: Item - Broken Pocket Watch, can pause time for 5 seconds, only you can move freely)]

This inner monologue looks extremely aggressive.

Is this the kind of friendship where the intention is to betray someone?

Fujino immediately became more cautious.

However, these three options still made her feel a sudden stomachache...

Can I not choose this option?

Both Makoto's ending and Riki's imprisonment are malicious rewards...

The effort required behind that seemingly attractive time-stopping device made his legs weak just thinking about it.

He has seen many cases of people trying to be impartial but ultimately failing.

Don't let it happen then...

It would be a waste of effort to put in effort that yields no reward and then try to imitate Shang Yang.

Fortunately, there are still more than ten days left, so he can plan ahead.

However, despite his plans, he had no intention of getting involved with Takanashi Riki in any way.

Even if he were to transform into the six senses, he would not give her even one of them.

Fortunately, Professor Kasai came to the rescue in time.

"Fujino-kun and Mitsuki-chan, let's go back to work. We'll discuss our future career paths with Ritsuki."

Only after pulling Mitsuki back to his office and locking the door did Fujino ask, somewhat puzzled, "Wait, why did your sister get a job at the hospital?"

Mitsuki also seemed to come to her senses, shaking her head repeatedly, "I don't know..."

Fujino pursed his lips, as if assessing the credibility of Mitsuki's words.

The other person also sensed the oppressive aura surrounding Fujino and looked at him incredulously: "You doubt me?"

Koki's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

What had she done to please Fujino? And yet he still doubted her because of something like this?

Indeed, at first she tried to keep Fujino in check and prevent him from releasing those shameful videos and photos to the public.

But she thought they were already so close that they didn't need to resort to such threats.

She... clearly, nowadays, as long as Fujino calls her to his office and locks the door, she will obediently help Fujino.

Why don't you still believe her?

At this moment, Mitsuki's resentment and anger towards Fujino outweighed her fear of her older sister.

She felt that her efforts were truly being trampled on by Fujino...

This feeling of grievance and helplessness made her sob softly.

Upon seeing this, Fujino paused for a moment, but quickly realized that this matter should have nothing to do with Mitsuki.

She genuinely had no idea.

Moreover, it seems that my actions just now did indeed hurt the child.

Seeing that Mitsuki's eyes were red and she was wiping away tears from time to time, Fujino took two steps forward and reached out to touch her head.

Unexpectedly, Mitsuki slapped it away.

She took two steps back, her eyes wide and tear-streaked, and said fiercely to Fujino, "Get away from me! I don't care about you anymore! Post the video if you want, go and disgust me if you want, whatever! Waaah..."

Fujino, whose hand had been pushed away, wasn't angry; instead, he flexed his wrist.

He stepped forward, not giving Mitsuki another chance to back down, grabbed her wrist, and slammed her against the office wall.

"Whatever you want?"

Fujino's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an extremely strong sense of pressure. He whispered in Mitsuki's ear, "Mitsuki Takanashi, do you think you have the right to tell me 'whatever' now?"

Mitsuki was pressed against the door, breathing heavily.

too close.

Fujino's face was too close.

He wrapped most of his body around her, blocking the sunlight from the window and hiding her petite figure in the shadows.

This was the first time she had seen Fujino's face so closely.

An unusual sense of security rose in my heart.

But deep inside her, the suppressed resentment was still churning, emitting a mournful cry of unwillingness.

What a spineless wretch!

Thinking of this, she turned her face away, gritting her teeth and refusing to look at him again.

Fujino wouldn't let her succeed. With his free hand, he grabbed Mitsuki's chin and roughly forced her to look directly at him.

"You feel wronged because you think I doubt you?"

"Your sister, that bastard, even schemed against you before. Now that she's suddenly been parachuted into our department, do you really need to consider her motives to react this strongly?"

"Who gave you the guts to talk to me like that? Mitsuki-chan?"

As Fujino questioned her, Mitsuki's eyes, which had been wide open in anger, gradually became unfocused.

Yes, my sister can make me do things that could ruin my career without batting an eye, so how could she possibly have told me in advance that she's suddenly been parachuted into this department?

Just now, I actually got angry with Fujino because of a question he asked, and even said something stupid like "Send me any video you want".

If Fujino-san is really angry... if he really doesn't want me anymore...

Thinking of this, a surge of panic welled up in Guangxi's eyes, and her body, which had been stiff, gradually went limp.

She reached out and tried to grab Fujino's sleeve, her voice tinged with a hint of ingratiation:

"I'm sorry... Fujino-san... I... I didn't mean it that way..."

Only when he saw that Mitsuki had turned back into that obedient and docile pet did the coldness in Fujino's eyes fade slightly.

He didn't let go of her chin; even pets need a little treat now and then.

"Kouki-chan, remember this. In this medical facility, the only person you can rely on is me."

Before he could even nod, he had already lowered his head.

He kissed her lips.

Koki's body, which had just softened, stiffened again.

This was her first kiss, and a look of joy appeared in her blank eyes.

A wave of intoxication immediately filled her pupils, but it was quickly concealed by her eyelids.

Fujino...you're such a bastard.

Although she was cursing him as a bastard in her heart, her hands had already quietly wrapped around Fujino's waist without her noticing.
