Tokyo: Let the wicked women pay the price!

This credit card gleamed with a black and gold sheen.

Hanako's confident, even slightly lazy and proud, "Just swipe my card," sent shockwaves through the store.

The saleswoman's eyes instantly lit up like fully charged flashlights.

She glanced at Fujino Hanako and Takanashi Riki with a gossipy look.

It appears that this young lady who arrived later did not know this lady...

Moreover, a woman who spends lavishly like this is probably not a mistress.

So... this gentleman cheated on his wife with a rich woman? And the woman who came later was his original wife?

That's really rare.

Even during the bubble economy, it was common for women to have three wallets. It was extremely rare for someone like this gentleman to have several women's wallets.

This class is great!

The sales assistant's eyes shone.

This kind of melon is truly a once-in-a-century find.

She glanced at Takanashi Riki discreetly, her voice rising an octave in response, and respectfully accepted the card: "Yes, Madam, please wait a moment."

Fujino's hand, which was searching for his wallet, froze in the pocket of his old trench coat.

He glanced in the mirror; the clothes were indeed appropriate, making him look several years younger.

Hanako's proud profile made him feel a little shy.

It's not that he can't afford this outfit, which costs a whopping 840000 yen.

But since Hanako wants to pay...

Well, since I've already taken this far in living off a woman, it would be impolite to be coy anymore.

Moreover, the physical exertion he expended in the fitting room just now certainly justifies this high level of endurance replenishment.

Thinking of this, Fujino relaxed a bit and was no longer tense.

Hanako observed everything out of the corner of her eye.

Although she was ostensibly being coquettish, her red eyes had already been subtly and provocatively sweeping over the woman on the bench two meters away while she was fixing her hair.

He was dressed in a formal suit, but the way he looked at Fujino was strange.

But that's not the most dangerous thing. What's more dangerous is the way Fujino looks at the other person.

He was clearly stunned, and his body stiffened.

Tsk... Is it an old flame?

That won't do!

Hanako wouldn't allow any female creature who stared at Fujino with eyes that looked like she was looking at a heartbreaker to steal away her beloved Fujino.

Especially now that there's another reason.

Fujino......

The thought of Fujino sent a chill down her spine, causing her body to contract sharply.

She even felt like she couldn't hold it in anymore, and clear liquid flowed down her thighs.

We won't let anyone take Fujino away!

No one noticed that Takanashi Riki's eyes had already changed.

She had just sensed something was off about the sounds coming from the locker room, which caused a slight crack in her worldview.

Looking at the affectionate Fujino and Hanako, she felt somewhat lost.

Doesn't Fujino not have a lover?

Who is this woman?

I was too hasty this time.

I chased after Fujino as soon as I saw him, never expecting this scene to unfold.

This is so awkward.

If this young lady is Fujino's lover, how can I explain this to her?

Or rather, does she need to explain?

She and Fujino aren't even that familiar... It's more likely that Fujino will just take this young lady away later.

Should we strike up a conversation now?

A hint of confusion appeared in Takanashi Riki's eyes.

This medical student who studied in the United States clearly didn't learn how to approach men in school, nor did she know his background...

She didn't know what to do, which led to this blunder.

No matter how you look at it... Fujino doesn't seem like a newly promoted specialist in psychiatry at the University of Tokyo Hospital anymore; he seems more like a male escort at a host club.

As expected, it was still...

Should I go up and ask him?

Is this something a human being could do?

However, the advantage of high-achieving students lies in their unparalleled drive and initiative.

Takanashi Riki stood up like a puppet and walked slowly and deliberately to Fujino and Hanako.

Her movements were so large and stiff that they drew the attention of everyone in the store.

The sales assistant could barely contain her laughter.

What kind of chaotic scene is this?

She was a little curious about who the original wife was.

Fujino frowned as he watched Riki approach. He realized he was probably in serious trouble, and his first instinct was to blame Mitsuki for not providing the necessary information.

"Fujino-san. And this young lady, nice to meet you.

Hanako almost laughed as she listened to Takanashi Riki's speech, which sounded like a workplace introduction.

Are all the adulterers these days at this level?

I feel like her fighting power isn't even as good as Saki's.

She turned her head away, not even bothering to acknowledge her: "He Yan-kun, who is this?"

"My superior at the medical department, Senior Takanashi Riki."

Fujino's answer was extremely official, and he didn't smile much.

Hanako's smile almost overflowed: "Senior Tachibana, is there something you want to discuss with us and Hiko-kun about the hospital?"

Takanashi Riki hadn't expected things to turn out this way, so she quickly waved her hand and nodded.

"No...it's...it's not..."

Her face flushed red, not because she was facing the man she admired, but simply because she felt utterly ashamed.

This was a complete loss of composure for her, a total OOC (out-of-character) moment.

She took two deep breaths, hoping to regain her composure as she was at the hospital.

But that won't work at all.

Although she had already made up her mind to approach Fujino and find out about his condition at the hospital, this was... this was their first meeting with a specific purpose in mind.

Last time at my sister's house, I had a very unpleasant argument with Fujino...

She was a little unsure of what to say.

Fujino sensed the awkwardness and felt there was no need to remain stuck there.

After all... Hanako's voice wasn't quiet just now.

If Takanashi Riki hears this, and reports it back to the medical department or uses it as leverage, it could be quite troublesome.

"Hanako-chan," Fujino said, putting a little tighter around Hanako's waist in front of Ritsuki, "Ritsuki-senpai just came back from America and isn't very familiar with Tokyo yet. She might have gotten lost while shopping here."

He turned to look at Riki, whose face was flushed, and said in a businesslike tone, "Takanashi-senpai, it's after get off work hours now. My personal schedule shouldn't need to be reported to the medical department. Don't you agree?"

In the midst of this suffocating silence, the saleswoman's gossipy voice broke the deadlock at just the right moment.

"Madam, please keep your black card safe."

The sales assistant handed over the card and receipt with both hands, then very "thoughtfully" pointed to the shopping bag Fujino was carrying, "Sir, we've already packed your old clothes into the bag for you. Merry Christmas to you and your wife."

Fujino smiled and nodded to the sales assistant, then put his hand on Hanako's waist and whispered in her ear, "Shall we go get a drink?"

Hanako tilted her head back, squinted, and nodded, just like a docile cat.

And so, they walked past Takanashi Riki as if nothing had happened and headed towards the elevator.

Takanashi Riki felt a little suffocated.

Especially in the sales assistant's ambiguous smile.

This was the first time in her life that she had been ignored, even to the point of being humiliated.

She was cute and academically outstanding, and had been the center of attention since childhood.

Only Fujino dared to ignore her so brazenly.

She became even more interested in Fujino.

But she also discovered Fujino's secret: he was far from being as kind and easy to bully as he appeared in the medical clinic.

I need to tell my sister about this.

She picked up the phone and dialed:

"Mitsuki? Don't you know what I just saw?"

"A rich woman spent 800000 yen on clothes for Fujino; he is far more complex than he appears on the surface."

"Please keep an eye on him for me. Yes, I'll try to find out more about him from other sources."

......

I just sat down at a bar on the street.

Hanako smiled at Fujino: "Didn't anyone tell you to look at your phone less when you're out with a beautiful lady?"

Fujino replied to the text message with a smile, looking at Hanako: "It's just a text message from a colleague."

"Kokoro: Everyone, I saw you shopping with that rich girl~"

......
