Tokyo: Let the wicked women pay the price!

Fujino ultimately chose the allure of uniforms.

Standing downstairs at Hanako's house, he still chose to turn around and leave.

On one hand, he was truly running out of ammunition and supplies; on the other hand, he still had work-related matters that he needed to help the Metropolitan Police Department resolve.

The firsthand information they just received from Hanako is the key to helping Yamagami Ukyo and his team solve their problem.

The search pool for this 26-year-old female lawyer will probably shrink considerably.

In his daze, he heard Hanako's voice.

"What are you thinking about? You really aren't coming up with me?"

She gently straightened Fujino's trench coat collar, but rather than straightening it, she was stroking Fujino's chest through the clothes.

Hanako's fingertips were slightly cool as she brushed against Fujino's armpit, gently tickling his ticklish spot through his clothes.

This only made their posture even more ambiguous.

Hanako practically nestled into Fujino's arms, her cheek resting against his trench coat collar: "You really aren't going up?"

Fujino took a deep breath, opened his trench coat, and wrapped Hanako in it.

The night wind was still a bit chilly, and he could feel Hanako shivering in his arms.

This action made Hanako no longer hesitate.

She slipped into Fujino's coat, her face powder almost smeared onto the cashmere sweater, and wrapped her arms around Fujino's waist, slowly swaying.

"Kazuhiko-kun...Hanako doesn't want you to leave."

Fujino swallowed hard, hesitating slightly.

My original intention was to leave, but my second brother chose to stay.

On the other hand, would his own brother harm him?

"Hanako..."

Just as Fujino was about to hug Hanako, he heard a noise coming from inside the bag.

Ring ring—

The ringtone of the cell phone broke the ambiguous atmosphere.

Hanako looked at Fujino and gestured for him to answer the call.

The woman's voice came through the receiver, crackling but still faintly audible.

"Fujino-san! You've been gone all day! When are you coming home?"

Hanako recognized it immediately; it was Saki's voice.

The little girl used to speak in this tone and intonation when she was in class, so she recognized her.

She tickled Fujino's little spot with her small hand, stood on tiptoe, and brought her mouth close to the ear that wasn't answering the phone: "Fujino-san~ why didn't you reply to her?"

Fujino tilted his head and said, "Saki-chan, I'll be done here in a bit. I brought the key, so you don't need to worry about me."

Hanako frowned and, mimicking Fujino's nonchalant tone, silently said, "You don't need to worry about me."

This scene is strikingly similar to how Fujino dealt with his waiting wife at home while having an affair.

Hanako chuckled softly.

How did you end up putting yourself in the position of a lover?

Now everyone is competing fairly.

However... she glanced at Fujino.

This guy really does have the makings of a scumbag; he definitely seems like the kind of guy who would cheat on his wife.

However, her gaze quickly froze.

A completely different female voice came through the receiver.

"I told you already, Fujino-sama has the keys. Why are you still waiting for him? What are you pretending to be so devoted for?"

The other person's voice grew louder and louder as it approached from afar.

It looks like he took the phone from Saki.

"Fujino-sama, I'm going to sleep now."

Drop drop-

Hanako's expression turned slightly unpleasant as she stared at Fujino.

Fujino's face froze, his mouth still slightly open, before he could reply to Yui.

"Who is this woman?"

Hearing Hanako's question, Fujino pursed his lips.

This isn't something that can be explained in just a few words.

Seeing his troubled expression, Hanako felt a chill run down her spine.

This is troublesome; it seems this relationship can't be summarized in just one sentence...

The presence of a woman like that in the Fujino household means trouble!

She stepped forward, her demeanor menacing.

"Why did this woman tell you she went to sleep first? Did you two sleep together?"

"You slept with Saki and her?"

Hanako wasn't very comfortable with this kind of open relationship.

Even fair competition.

Fujino shook his head.

Strictly speaking, the three of them did live in one house.

They each have their own bedroom.

But such a dramatic shift is definitely not appropriate to discuss now.

"Yui is the landlady, and Saki and I are her tenants now. We each sleep in our own rooms. It's not as dramatic as you think."

exaggerate?

Hanako doesn't deny that what she just thought had indeed crossed the line.

However, at this point, one cannot admit to one's previous thoughts under any circumstances.

She lowered her head, her face flushed red, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

Not only Fujino didn't know, but Hanako herself didn't know either.

She gently pushed Fujino's chest: "Let go, I'm going back to sleep."

Unlike those useless male protagonists in Japanese dramas who let Hanako go, Fujino held her tightly.

"Hanako-chan, I'm so happy today. This is the first time someone has taken me shopping. Thank you."

Hanako shook her head.

Although this was a precious memory for Fujino, she had no interest in it at the moment.

The thought of Yui and Saki made her want to take a shower and go to bed to calm down.

Fujino knew this too, so he didn't forcefully tighten his grip on Hanako; instead, he used a very subtle amount of force.

If Hanako wanted to leave, she could break free from his embrace.

"Let go of me now, you still need to go home and keep your landlady company!"

Hearing Hanako's jealous words and sensing her barely perceptible struggle, Fujino frowned as he looked at Hanako.

Her eyes were already a little misty, but unlike her previous emotional outbursts, Fujino knew that this was mostly because of her grievances.

He can't let these emotions linger overnight; that would be irresponsible to everyone.

Fujino gently pinched Hanako's chin, looked into her eyes, and slowly moved closer.

If Hanako struggles at all during this process, he will stop immediately and take a taxi home.

Great, he made the right bet.

Hanako hesitated for a moment, her eyes darting away for a few seconds, before finally closing her eyes when their noses touched.

Fujino gently lifted Hanako's waist from behind, turning her head slightly and forcefully, as if afraid that the pain from their noses colliding would ruin the atmosphere.

The surrounding night was unusually quiet; there were no insects chirping in the winter air, only a sense of ethereal stillness.

Hanako felt as if she were floating.

The soft, fluffy feeling made her feel as if she were sitting on a cloud.

However, the air was probably a bit thin at high altitudes, and after a while, she felt a little short of breath.

She still hasn't learned how to breathe while kissing.

Hanako gently patted Fujino's chest, signaling him to stop.

Fujino ignored her completely and instead deepened the kiss. He only stopped when Hanako's hand on his chest tightened.

Looking at Hanako with slightly parted eyes, Fujino lowered his voice and asked, "Do you understand?"

Hanako placed her hand on his left atrium: "I heard you."

After watching Fujino leave, Hanako remained standing in the corridor for a long time.

Although the matter is now behind us, she still harbors some resentment.

I'll go check it out.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't feel at ease.

Although Saki is that weakling,

But the landlady... judging from the tone of her voice when she spoke to Saki just now...

Hanako placed her hand on the doorknob and squinted.

That woman must be no pushover!
